.SHRIEKING ROADS"

That there is something
new under the sun insofar as
safety inventions are con-
cerned is attested by recent
developments of a "shrieking
road" by students in Dept.
of Mines of the University Of
Minnesota. They have dis
covered that certain types of
metals will, when laid into
the paving of highways, emit
a sort Of shrieking sound
when the tires of an auto
mobile pass over them. This,
they contend, can be used to
warn motorists when they
are getting too far over on
and when approaching a dam
the wrong side of the road
and when approaching a dan
gerous curve or railroad
crossing. Among the other
things constantly being in
vented to make highways
fool-proof, local motorists
may soon make the acquailit-
ance of the "shrieking road,"
for it is said that tests show
it to be practical. But it
still will take something more
than a road that shrieks TO
make careful drivers of a
good many of them.

YOU CAN'T FOOL EN-

There may be a doubt in
the mind of some business
men in this section that bet
ter times are here and that
they are going to get still
better, but there isn't a bit of
doubt about it in the minds
of their strongest and most
successful competitors - the
mail-order men. Not since
1929 have the mails been so
heavy with mail-order cata-
logues and mail-order mer-
chandising offers as at the
present time. These mail
order dealers are recognized
as the wisest advertisers on
earth, so if they are doubling
and trebling their advertis-
ing activities it is safe to be-
lieve they see better and big
ger business on ahead. Their
activities are deserving of the
attention of hometown bust
ness men, too, and should
serve to notify them that
more business is awaiting
those who go after it, and go
promptly. Mail-order bust
ness men know the power
and value of printers ink and
right now, with retail mer-
chandising entering upon
what many predict will be-
come another boom is a
nightly appropriate time for
local business men to profit
by such wisdom.

GETTING THEIR SHARE

With our national income
having risen to $4,000, 00O,-
600 last year, an increase of
about 40 percent over the
dark days of 1882 and 1888,
it ought to be of interest to
everyone to note that the
workers of the nation are
getting their share of these
mounting billions.
Analysing figures issued
recently by the Dept. of
Commerce, it may be noted
that labors share of our ma
tional income last year
amounted to SAL, $50, 900, 900,
or about 6612 percent of the
total, compared to less than
so percent in 1882. These
figures answer rather effect
lively the charges made by
certain malcontents that in
dustry is engaged in piHng
up huge profits for itself
without passing ON TO the
workers a fair share of the
mounting wealth. The facts
in the matter are that labor
is now receiving a larger per-
centage of our national in
come than at any time since
the boom year of 1929.
The wide distribution of
this increasing national in
come among the workers in
factories, mines, stores, utili-
Ties and farms means addi-
tional buying power to the
millions, and this in turn
makes for better business all
around. We are adding to
our national income by Gre
ating wealth, not merely at
tempting to divide what we
have. And we are boIstering
our purchasing power by
seeing to it that this new
wealth finds proper distribu-
ton among those who Gre
ated it. That way lies ma
tional prosperity-the thing
America has been praying
for.

FALL FLIES

The common housefly is a
menace to health, regardless
of seasons. But it is in the
fall months, many health
authorities contend, that dam
ger from this pest is greatest.
1t is in the fall, they assert,
that the germ carrying
.housefly carts about its most
deadly cargo and to this in a
large way is attributed the
sharp rise in the number of
typhoid cases recorded an
lnually during the fall months.
This being the case, local
citizens should not suspend
the swatting campaign which
started with the first appear
ance of the pests last spring.
Keep It up so long as there is
a single fly infesting your
premises. You might also
keep in mind the fact that
fall weed cutting as a part of
the campaign against disease
also remains an important
item. There is too much
danger in waiting for Jack
Frost to do the job for you.
If you would protect your
health and be rid of disease
carrying housefiies you must
get rid of fly-breeding weeds.

une OF trade or production higher
even than 1929. They show on the
other hand a vast number Of fail
ures, an increasing number of big
businesses which are barely getting
by-which can continue providing
their present volume Of business is
maintained. If the volume Of bust
ness slips, however, that category
of business is going into tailspin
as sure as the sun shines. If
part of the business of the country
begins to sink-well, a part of it
began to sink in August, 1929, and.
within two years the whole struc-
ture had fallen like a house of cards.
am not saying that we are con-
fronted with another depression.
do say, however, that we are facing
condition that is not at all salts
factory-a condition that can lead
to a depression as easily as it can
lead to sound prosperity in COM
merce and industry. .
Astute observers and business
men in the larger centers decide
their courses upon the outlook for
the whole country, not for any par
ticular line of business or any par
ticular section. The number of in
dividuals who see the picture I have
attempted to outline in the above
paragraph is increasing. As that
number increases obviously the
wave of uncertainty expands.
So, if one is compelled to make
guess why Wall Street is so con-
cerned or SO iittery, it would seem
that the explanation must lie in the
combination of circumstances. No
one of them, except possibly the adj
verse business outlook, could ac-
complish as much doubt about the
future.
Anyone talking with a hundred
different individuals will hear these
various factors and influences men,
toned. He will hear different
weight given by each individual to
each factor.
We have been dealing with causes.
Let us look at possible effects. It

NotO, as bered how Presi-
to Effects dent Hoover was
blamed for the de-
preston. He and the Republican
party were punished on that ac-
count and badly licked in the cleo
tons. It ought to be said in Mr..
Hoover's behalf that the conditions
which led to the depression had
their beginning long before he was
elected President. Indeed, they had
their real beginning In the World
war.
President Roosevelt came into Of
fee as result. He started doing
things and gaining the confidence
of the country to such an extent
that he was reelected last year.
Probably he was reelected largely
because of the bulk of the voters
feeling he was restoring prosperity.
l doubt, however, that Mr.. Roose-
welt was any more responsible for
the return of superficial prosper
ity than Mr.. Hoover was response
BILE for the depression.
But we are coming to another
election. If conditions should be-
come worse and business should de-
cline perceptibly again, Mr.. Roose-
welt will be held responsible just as
definitely as was Mr.. Hoover. He
will be charged with having made
mess of government and any at
tempt on his part to prove the con-
dition was natural will be regarded
as an alibi. The whole thing seems
to be in the lap of the gods and no
amount of political strategy or at
tempts to amend the law of supply
and demand will alter events.

been undergoing
Dod case OF bad case of the
filters filters. 1t has
been several years
since those dealing in money and
shares of stock have been so I'M
certain as to the future and this
uncertainty obviously is the cause of
the filters among all people who
dabble in the stock market, whether
the dabbling be small or large, on
margin or for cash.
1t seems a proper time, there
fore, to examine the picture and
try to see what lies beneath. And,
let me hasten to say at the very oft
set that anyone who makes posi-
tive statement about the securities
market these days must be either
a fool or a supernatural thus far
the supermen who have lived on this
earth number only one.
But that fact does not destroy the
value of an examination of con-
dition which exists as a fact. In
deed, think review of the various
factors and influences at work now
can provide a Qualification of gen.
eral conditions even though it may
fail utterly to show why men and
women act as they do with respect
to stock market investments.
First, it should be said that Wall
Street, as the term is commonly
used, is not unanimous within it.
self. The violent fuctuation of mar
ket securities in the last several
weeks might easily be said to be
due to the war crises in Europe and
in the Far East. Only, those fuctu-
atoms are not traceabIe to war con-
ditions. Rather, the war conditions
are used by some individuals as an
excuse-an alibi to themselves be-
cause they fail to fathom the vari-
Gus influences and factors now at
work.
said that Wall Street lacked
unanimity within itself. That is true
because within Wall Street there
are all kinds of selfish groups oper-
ating. For example, an influence
like imitation is highly pleasing to
the brokers and dealers in shares
while the same influence frightens
bankers and likewise gives sick
ening feeling to those who must
buy raw products. Bankers and
sound investors as well as tax pay
ers generally would be quite happy
to see the Federal Treasury's budget
balanced because if that were done
there would be a much greater
sense of security, of safety for those
investments. q
A dozen other illustrations could
be given to thus illustrate the point
-, -, and show w by
Black Case Wall Street can
LnUoLUed not agree. They
do not show, how
ever, why there is so much uncer-
tainty and why the bulls or the
bears have been unable to adjust
themselves to the future probabili-
ties. The reasons, therefore, must
lie deeper. 1t is possible that the
appointment Of Hugo Black of Ala
bama as an associate justice of
the Supreme court of the United
States has had more effect on the
business world than any of us real
ize. have heard a number of cor
poration executives say that they
hope they will never be involved in
( litigation which will carry their cor
porations before the court on which
Mr.. Black sits. II they entertained
that fear before, undoubtedly the
fear Ia deeper-seated and more
widespread now that Mr.. Justice

L. S. U. CHOICE
BY LEWIS BURTON
International News Service
Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE top
heavy favorite of the betting ex-
change for Saturday is Yale over
Princeton. At 4 to l the unde-
feated New Haven forces, featured
by Clint Frank, AL Hessberg and
Madame Luck, are closest to being
footballs odds-on-choice for the
week.
For once, tradition is forgotten
entirely on the wagering mart.
The line presented by Wall Street
commissioners barely comedies
Princeton the fighting chance that
is always considered a vital factor
in Big Three contests. No recog-
milton is given in this quotation
of the report that Fritz CriSler,
Princeton coach, has been building
up to the Yale game as the peak
effort of the year.
IRISH FAVORED
Notre Dame, leaping from peak
to peak like a mountain goat, has
been sent down as 4 9-to-5 choice.
That price appears to be the most
popular one of the week. In.
cluded in the same bracket are
Manhattan over North Carolina
State, N. Y. U. over Georgetown,
Boston College over Kentucky,
Tulane over Georgia, Louisiana
State over Auburn and Stanford
over Washington State.
There are two sets of figures on
the book that warrant a second
look. One reflects respect for Lou
Little, the other lack of confidence
in unbeaten Nebraska. Columbia is
s to 5 against Syracuse and the
high.riding Pittsburgh team is 3
to l over the Cornhuskers. There
are four other 3-to-1 shots on the
hst-Indiana over Iowa, Mime
sofa over Northwestern, unde-
feated-untied Alabama forces over
Georgia Tech.
NEIGHBORHOOD RIVALRY
Despite the heated neighborhood
rivalry involved, the also unde-
feated Duke team is 2 to l to beat
North Carolina, which has lost
only to Fordham. At the same
odds are Michigan State over Car
negie Tech. washington over U.
c. L. A.
A slightly better price is COM
manded by undefeated Dartmouth,
which will have a crack at Cornell
in it's own tepee. The odds are
II to S that the Green Indians
continue their record. Although
beaten last Saturday for the first
time, Temple is the choice over
Bucknell by the same distance.
Baylor, stripped of its aura of
invincibility, is down to 8 to 5
against Southern Methodist, Michi-
gan is ditto over Pennsylvania. At
3 to 2 are Penn State over Mary
land, Tennessee over Vanderbilt,
Rice over Texas A. and NJ, Texas
Christian over Texas, and South
err California over Oregon State.
Ohio State is 5 to 2 to drub Hi
nois, and Purdue, despite defeat
by Fordham, is 6 to against Wis
consin.
