The answer being offered here
again is that no one can make
a profits system work without
profits. These come first and
foremost.
Relief bills cannot make ma
tional income. Only business
profits can, because only these
furnish the proceeds in wages
and taxes to pay the freight of
Q profits system.
Wage-hour legislation, Govern
ment reorganization, anti-monop-
oily drives and such may or may
not be needed reforms, but they
will turn out to be worthless
without business profits.
AS soon as the prospect for
profit is visible in industry, re-
covery will come-but not be-
fore.

no less brilliant.

than any other offlcer or privateer dur

Young Smedley captured for the
Colonies l3 ships, 800 men, and prize
cargoes amounting to the amazing total
OF $500 000-and was himself twice
captured by the British!
A lieutenant at the age OF Is, Smed-

THE NAVY AS A CAREER

The Navy offers the young
men of the nation an oppor-
tunity to serve their country
in an honorable profession
with lasting benefits to the
individual in promotion, pay
and retirement as rewards
for faithful service.
The requirements for en-
listment are, in brief, that
the applicant be a U. S. citi-
zen between the ages of II
and rs, physically, mentally
and morally qualified, not
married, have the consent of
his parents or legal guardian,
and furnish satisfactory ref
erences.
All first enlistments are
made in the rating of APP
prentice Seaman. After four
months service advancement
is made to Seamen, second
class or Firemen, third class.
The term of enlistment is
four years, except for appi-
cants under eighteen years of
age, who are enlisted for
minority; that is, the enlist
ment expires on the date pre-
ceding the twenty-first birth
day.
After enlistment each man
is given an opportunity to
choose his trade as the ma
jority of the men in the
Navy are specialists. Elemen-
tary instruction is given in

The Way
To National Progress
BY RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
SentineIs Of the Republic

Recent news dispatches from WASH
ington contain numerous promises that
the little fellows" in industrial and
other activities are going to be con-
suited in current endeavors to clear the
roadway toward sound recovery.
BY this is meant that the average
merchant or small producer and en-
ployer will have chance to tell his
story and outline his needs to the men
who make and enforce the laws which
control our well-being as nation.
It's an excellent idea, which all
Americans who feel q sincere concern
with our national progress will approve.
It could, with real benefit, be carried
still further. 1t could, with real benefit,
extend to all types Of workers and pro-
ducers, who compose the body and
strength Of our Republic.
Washington might, for example, con-
slider the problem Of the average wage
Garner, who feels the toll that heavy
taxes direct and indirect-levy on the
contents OF his pay envelope.
It might, for example. consider the
worries Of the average insurance policy
holder or other prudent saver, who
wonders what effect huge public debts
with their constant threat of initiation
may have on the thoughtful provi-
sions he makes for the future security
Of his family.
It might, for example, consider the
situation Of the housewife, struggling
to provide balanced meals on a family
budget constantly unbalanced by rising
prices due to public extravaganza and
impractical economic experiments.
These are the people to consider,
rather than the blatant pressure groups
or the expert fishers for votes, whose
voices appear so often to drown out the
modest demands Of the average worker
and Garner.
Yet it is on these average citizens
that the strength and stability of Amer
lea depend-today as in the past. They
represent not only the thews and sinews
Of our country, but its hopes as well.
1t is they who built America and will
carry it to still greater heights-if given
a chance.
They are, moreover, the real voice Of
the Nation-and II Washington only
needs that voice, America cannot fail
to resume her progress.

: CLOTHES AND CARS

If you'd like to know what
the average family does with
its income when father gets a
raise, then lend your ear a
moment to the result of a
survey recently completed in
a half-dozen mid-western
states. A poll was taken
thr o u g h o t Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Iowa to deter
mine as nearly as possible
how the average family deals
out its money for food,
clothes, shelter, automobiles,
medical care and so on.
Among the most interest
ing things revealed by the
figures, now that they have
been tabulated, is the admis-
sion of those whose incomes
are the lowest that when
they do get a little extra
money they spend it for food
and clothing. But when all
of them are punched together
and the census is considered
as a whole, it is found that
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-02-03

the most decided increase in
spending goes on the family
car-even more on the car
than they spend on clothing.
For incomes between $4,000
and $1,000, for example, food
costs according to the survey
took 81 per cent, the auto 10
percent, housing and clothing
IL percent, and so on.
The car is used to take the
whole family out for pleasure
trips, drives into the country
and on vacation jaunts. This
all has its good effects on
health, education and mental
stimulus. 1t is also used very
widely to carry workmen to
and from their work. There
is a parking lot as big as a
farm outside the Ford plant
at Dearborn, Mich. So the
American family car isn't all
luxury by any means, though
it may look so to millions of
middle-class persons in other
lands to whom a car is a
dream far beyond realization.

lished reports in May, 1897, that a
majority Of the finance companies
were holding to the 18-month limit
even then.
There can be no doubt that in
stallment buying is a dangerous
thing because Of the abuses that
accompany it. My objection to it is
the same as I have often stated in
these columns respecting other
types of debt. Any time debt is
made easy, there has been created
a fresh danger at the very same
time. Installment buying has been
generally used and the general re-
suit is, as it was bound to be, that
hundreds Of thousands of people
put themselves into debt. When
their income from wages or other
wise was reduced, their installment
obligations became a burden that
had first call on whatever money
was available. In the case of the
automobile finance companies, it
seems clear that there have been
abuses. High pressure statesmen.
anxious to get commissions, drove
hard to sell cars land you can pay
in two years." The companies found
out long ago, however, that the dam
gers existed and they were trim
ming their commitments according
ly. Since these sales are compare
lively small in ratio to the whole
country's business, think the White
House announcement will not result
in immediate restoration of pros
perity.

and nothing has come of those con-
ferenceS.
In the criticism of congress, did
not intend to indict all of the men,
bership. There are
some those who see
Exceptions their mistakes and
are willing to do
something about them. Unfortunate
ly, they are in minority. Blind fol-
lowers of the President, generally
speaking, constitute the majority.
So that those who want to take con-
structive action haven't had an op-
portunity.
Lately, I heard Worth Clark, a
Democratic member of the house
from Idaho, make radio speech on
this fact; or rather he touched on
this fact. Mr.. Clark is a pretty
hard-boiled Democrat, but he be-
lieves he was elected to represent
his people and not to throw them
down simply because his party lead
ership wanted to do something else.
In the radio speech that I men,
toned, Mr.. Clark referred to mis-
takes that had been made in the
last five years and asked: "What is
the remedy?"
First" he continued in his an
swer to that question, I'VE must
squarely face the problem. We must
realize that we have done some
things wrong. We must retrace our
steps where necessary and start
anew.
lone Of the difficulties involved
here is the lack of independence of
thought and courage among us in
congress. The worst injustice that
can be done great leader is to
blindly follow his every suggestion.
That frequently causes him to make
more mistakes than he otherwise
would. A mans best friends are
not those who crouch at his feer
with Establishment, fiattery and SUBJ
scrvience. His real friends are those
who disagree with him when they
think him wrong and who give him
their utmost in support when they
think him right"
There are many others in con-
gress who feel as does Mr.. Clark
about the present situation. They
recognize, think, that Mr.. Roose-
welt must assume his fair share of
responsibility, as President, for the
current depression. It is apparent,
too, that he must assume RESPONSE
bility for the failure of some Of his
policies in that he turned to Eyes"
men for advice instead Of recogniz-
ing that there could be honest dis
agreement with him on the part Of
many who desired to be helpful. It
is, in other words, another result
of the type of leadership that he has
assumed, leadership that worked
without halt when everything was
hunky dory but type that obvious
ly will fail when the tide runs
against you.

he has "persuad-
