LA WS INCRE S E
BUSINESS OVERHEAD

In 1917, when producers got one
dollar for making goods, overhead
people got another dollar for the
various services leading up to the
sale of goods to the consumer, says
Professor Walter Rautenschauch of
Columbia. But in 1882, when produc-
ers got one dollar, oYerheaders got
$3.50.
Increases in distribution cost oc-
cur naturally as an industrial civil
ization develops, more machine made
products are used, and the system
necessary to bringing goods to peo-
pie scattered about a great nation
becomes more involved. But it is es-
sential to the well-being of the peo-
pie that these increases be restrict
ed as much as possible, and over
head costs between producer and
consumer be held to the minimum.
Yet there has been a veritable rush
of legislation lately whose inevitable
result would be to increase the bur-
den of overhead, and widen the cost
spread from farm and factory to
hGme and place of business.
This legislation takes various
forms. Some penalties large-scale
merchandising practices which re-
duce overhead charges to the van
isbing point, and throws the protec-
tion of the law about the middleman,
even though in some cases he may
be inefficient and serve no necessary
purpose. Other laws penalize low
cost retail distribution agencies,
such as the chain stores, and thus,
in effect, place premium on waste
and a burden ON efficiency. Still
other laws legalize price-fixing, and
enable manufacturers to refuse to
sell to retailers who will not charge
an arbitrary price for trade-marked
products, even though that price en-
tails an excessive profit for the re-
taller.
High prices mean less spending,
less sale for goods, less employ
ment. Fair, competitive prices mean
increasing Industrial expansion, EN-
ployment and consumption. If all
units of government would adopt a
policy designed to keep competition
open in all merchandising lines, and
10 eneAurage the efficient and eco
1omfcal distributor, every family in
he land would reap the benefits
and so would every farmer, and ev-
sry efficient producer.

QUOTABLE QUOTES

THE SCIENTIST AND SOCIETY
The answer to the puzzle seems t.
me "a that the pure scientist should
take an active interest In the social
consequence of his work and be fully
represented on all governmental in
stitutions, and (2l that the actual
running of governmental life should
be confined to the scientists, as such
but should be made scientific In It,
self.-Sir Josiah Stamp, English In
dustrialist and Economist, in the Ro-
tartan Magazine.
THE NEW WAY-It is one way,
the immemoriaI way, to use the good
right arm; 1t is the new way, the
modern imperative, to use the brain.
The old way was, when hungry, to
loot your neighbor's fields; the mod
ern way is TO perfect your agricul-
ture. To use the soldier when we
might use the scientist is an i'm
moral anachronism. Peace and plen-
ty will be had, II ever, through an
entente cordiale with Nature, to OBJ
tain the goods, services, knowledge,
and delights that we need. rather
than by continuing the old rackets
Of mutual aggression TO extract loot,

another-Farnsworth Crowder In
the Rotarian Magazine.

THE FARMERS
RESPONSIBILITY

s"Farmers must unity their coop
erative efforts in marketing-must
strengthen their general organiza-
tions, If they are to cope with the
Increasing power of other groups"
says the Dairymen's League News.
This is true regardless of how
much governmental regulation. state
or Federal, the future has In store
for agriculture. The responsibility
is on the shoulders of cooperatives
In either case. And 1t is an increas-
ing responsibility"
The progressive farmer has long
since learned that dependence on
agencies of government to solve his
problems and augment his income. is
futile. The most successful agricul-
tnral movements. such as the pro-
ducer cooperative. have been the
creation of the farmer himself, and
not of outsiders. This will be even
truer in the future than in the past,
In the view OF farm experts.

EXPLORERS ALL
Editorial. Rotarian Magazine)

Editorial Rotarian Magazine)
Every man is an explorer-oi
should be. For exploring isn't sc
much a matter of strange and exo-
tic lands as 1t is a state of mind-a
leaping enthusiasm, restless curl
osity, a sensitized mentality that
casts even commonplace experiences
into new patterns of light and form
and significance as does a film In the
hands of a skillful photographer.
When William LaVarre decided to
be an explorer, he prepared himself
to thread on a string of purpose all
experiences that might come to him.
That quality distinguishes him from
the less discerning adventurer who,
hungering for sheer activity, passes
over the proverbial-if not actual
acre of diamonds. While few men
can seek thrills In the jungles Of
British Guiana. to every man is Civ
en- the privilege of facing his envir-
onment with precisely the same spir-
1t of purposive adventure-making.
In the relations between business
competitors, great uncharted spaces
exist; 1t is so also in relations be-
tween buyers and sellers, employees
and employers, and between nations
forced TO be neighbors in a world
growing smaller. Doctors frequent
ly acknowledge that the beaten
course of their knowledge is fringed
by unpenetrated thickets of ignor-
ance. Great industries have been
revolutionized by scientists and in
ventors; more will be as new Nobels.
Edisons. Zeppelins. Wright Brothers
and Ketterings arise.
But true exploring is not mat
ter of medals, headlines, or bank ac-
counts. II is an attitude. a way OF
looking at life; very personal
thing, withal. 1t comes from within.
Is not dependent upon externals. One
OF the greatest explorers we know
is an S0-year old woman. Since her
children have grown up. she spends
many hours in rocking chair. read
ing. In the Spring, she exults over
the miracle Of seeds becoming flow
ers-"aIl for 10 cents!" she will tell
you. Her mind gives to every new
experience the tint of adventure.
She is, to paraphrase Marcus Aurel-
Ius, like fire we'll kindled which
catches at everything thrown in and
.1rns IL into brightness.

TOO MUCH BIG BROTHER
AND BIG SISTER
BY HIlda Richmond

For some time Mrs. Alton, occu'
pied with the new baby, did moi
notice that Harold. aged four. and
his sister June two years younger
were slipping away from her. Al
first IL was quite convenient and de-
lightful to know that Aunt Eleanor
kept them safe and contented while
she was fretted with many cares, but
now that the new baby was not so
new she had time to observe certain
attitudes that evidently had become
well established in the lives of the
other two.
She knew it was childish and un-
fair, but one day she asked point
more than he loved his own mother.
OF course June could not be expected
to answer such a question, but Har-
old with the frankness of childhood
replied that he did love Aunt Eleanor
more.
"She let's me sit in her lap and she
doesn't call me Big Brother all the
time" explained the little boy.
But you are Big Brother to June
and the new baby" said the amazed
mother. 1T is fine thing to be big
and able to help care for little broth
er and sister,"
Not all the time" said Harold
stoutly. Il like to be little some
times"
Mrs. Alton said later that she had
learned more from that one sentence
from the lips of her child than all
the books on child training had
taught her. No doubt she should
have learned more from the books.
but here was her own precious first
born really bringing her to her SEN
ses as to childish rights.
But Mother is so busy with the
new baby" she began lamely.
New baby asleep now!" piped up
little June.
At that moment some little play
mates called the two children, and
the subject was dropped for the mo-
ment, but that afternoon when the
children's maternal grandmother
called, the young mother took it up
again. Mother, do you think l pay
too much attention to the new baby
and not enough to June and Harold?"
she asked abruptly.
''Of course think so, and June and
Harold think so, and so do many of
your friends" said the elder lady.
I'm fact we've delicately limited that
We thought SO good many times.
Don't look so dOwncast! You can
REFORM" with a smile, "as many
other mothers have had to do. When |
you were little child you took the
new baby out of your cradle and laid |
IL on the floor so you could tuck !
yourself in comfortably. l called it |
but your blessed grand
mother pointed out the fact that a
child of three is still very much of a
little baby herself. and / accepted
her statement"
Just then little June sidled up to
her mother engogingly, and instead
Of saying Run and play with the
rest because now you are great
big girl" the little body was held
closely and found foolish words that
all children love were whispered
In her ears.
II see, and am thankful l did not
see too late" said the repentant
Mrs. Alton, tenderly laying her
middle baby" in the little crib. II
have a nice big laundry basket that
will do for the new baby very nicely
md June can have her own little
bed. Without doing less for the new
1aby, I'll do more for the Others"

POST SPUR NED
BY WELBURN

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Jan. 28.-Dr. w. C. Welburn
of Clarendon has declined ap-
pointment as Arlington county
health officer. The appointment
was offered him recently by the
county board following the resig-
nation of DR.. P. M. Chichester,
who accepted the position of as
sistant director of rural health for
Virginia.
DR.. Welburn's decision was made
known in a letter to County Man
ager Frank C. Hanrahan, in which
he cited the three-to-two vote of
the board on his appointment as
the reason for his refusal to accept
the post.
Without the united support of
the board, he stated, efficient ad-
ministration of the office might
be impaired. He said he. did not
consider it advisable to abandon
his present private practice, of 81
years duration, under the present
circumstances.
Two members of the board. F..
Freeland Chew and Mrs. Eliza
beth Magruder, refused to approve
DR.. Welburn's appointment on the
ground that a list of applicants,
requested of the State health de-
partment. should be considered
before action was taken.

JUVENILE BILL
HEARING DUE
NEXT WEEK

Action on the District Juvenile
Court bill today was slated for the
next meeting of the House Dis
trict Committee next Wednesday.
Representative Jack Nichols CD
of Oklahoma, chairman Of a SUBJ
committee which at the last Ses-
sion Of Congress began a study of
the measure to work out several
controversial provisions, today
submitted to the District Commit
tee a report on the bill and asked
it be made the first order of bust
ness at next weeks meeting.
Only two major changes were
made by the subcommittee in the
language of the bill, as introduced
last session by Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New Jer-
sey.
One Of these changes makes it
mandatory that hearings on child
cases must be private, except that
parents may attend. In the orig
inal bill, the language was that
the hearings may" be private.
The other alteration made by
the subcommittee amends the bill
to declare that. cases shall be
heard without juries unless de-
manded by the child, his parents
or guardian of the court.
