B. G. Forbes SAYS

Charles Goodyear was the father Of the now
infinitely important rubber industry. George
Westinghouse not only made high speed On rail-
roads possible and safe by his brain child, the air
brake, but carved for himself an unmatched
niche in enriching the world with electrical
devices. George Eastman stands alone in his
sphere.
Wherever you travel in foreign land, north,
south, east, west, you encounter American-made
canned meats and fountain pens to typewriters
calculating machines, automobiles and heavy
farm implements and machinery.
Why Mankind SurUiUes
MAN has survived, sages tell us, because of his
AVA dependability, his ability to fit himself to
climatic and other conditions to wiring Sus
tenance from any and all varieties Of SOIL
The rapid succession of new inventions, the
kaleidoscope changes in our social demands and
habits, the constant crowding out of old by new
conveniences comforts, luxuries, have imposed
upon the business men and concerns of Amer
lea during the present generation greater neces.
slty than ever before for exercising adaptability
and resourcefulness in order to stay in the
rapidly moving procession.
But. on the whole, the ingenuity of American
business has been shiningly demonstrated.
Praise be, American business men still have
vision and the will and skill to make their arnb-
tious dreams come true

position from the Chicago board
Of trade, it was learned today.
The Chicago board opposed the
proposed regulations, on the
ground they did not limit indi.
vidual futures holdings during de-
livery months, as at other times.
A two-million-bushel limitation is
said to be favorable to the board,
provided it is the limitation at all
times and under all conditions.
Officials close to the CEA
reported that the hearings on the
proposed regulations were "indefi
nitely" postponed only because of

So far as keeping our childrens future I'M

Of course, they may not approve Of everything
