Wrong Car!

Charles Krakauskas. 29, of SOuthbury, who mistook another car for his, was given nolles in city court on charges of intoxi- cation and attempted theft of an automobile. The nOlIes were entered on recommendation of Prosecutor Frank Healey.

Illegal across the border. Dozens OF
types Of warning signals, lights and
signs are In use, and constitute a
constant bewilderment to the motor
let who drives any distance away
from his home town. Some state mo-
tor patrols are known to be strict
in enforcing the law; others are lax.
The result is a legislative and ad-

Eliminating the aecident-prone To-
cation is strictly an engineering
problem. A wide. sinooth-surfaced
road is not necessarily a safe road.
And a large collection Of control
signals and signs at a corner does
not necessarily make for safety
either. Safety engineers have de-
signed highways and intersections

ACTIVE-EVEN
DURING DOG-DAYS

The customary slowing down of
the automobile industry for inven-
tory and preparations for new mod
els will be somewhat longer than
usual this year, due to the severe
drop in automobile sales incident to
the national depression. But there
evidently will be no complete shut
down" as automobile plants will be

days.
President Knudsen. for instance.
announces that General Motors
schedules call for the building Of
215,O0O cars between now and the
last of October. He says that the
consumer demand may be appraised
about three months ahead, and he
tells the workers that employment
will be kept at as high a point as
possible, and adds that II 1t was pos
sible to sell the. cars that 1T would

SIMPLIFYING
CORPORATION
ACCOUNTING

Each of us gainfully employed
plays some part-small or large-in
making things to supply the wants
of others. In return for this work
we receive pay which we in turn use
to purchase our own living needs, "
states Thos. H. McInnerney, presi-
dent of National Dairy Products Cor
poration. in summarizing the under
lying principles on which American
industry operates. Emphasizing that
no other Industrial system has been
able to make this pay" larger in
terms of purchasing power, he con-
tinues:
Each business and corporation
large or small-adds to the array Of
products used in American homes.
because its expenditures for mater
ials, payrolls and services and its
disbursement of profits earned add
to the nations ability to buy more
goods and commodities. But too Of
ten this fact is only vaguely appar-
ent Except to the person educated
to understand figures and account
ing terminology) because the usual
type of corporation report is not too
easily understood. A simple diagram
best explains a corporations profit
and loss statement"
Mr.. McInnerney then shows, in
graphic form, how his corporation
used the money il received in sales
during the last eight years-from
1880 through 1887. During those
eight years National Dairy paid
about 1892, 100000 for milk, other
dairy products. fruits and other ma
terials, and $4S1 100000 in wages
and salaries. These payments
amounted to 54.7Fo and 209o respec-
lively of the corporations total
sales. OF the remaining 25.3% OF
sales. $50 we're spent for supplies
and services. 1920 for repairs. 3.19o i
for depreciation. 2.29o for advertis- !
inc. 1.79c for taxes. 1.49o for inter-
est charges and SO for insurance.
Earnings amounted to 4.4c on each
dollar of sales, and in turn more
than four-fifths Of these earnings
were distributed as dividends to the
7O-odd thousand stock
holders. The remaining one-ffth OF
the corporations profit was used to
apply against expenses of refunding
iebentures. write-offs of idle plants
and properties. creation of necessary
reserves and for reinvestment in the
business.
II is significant that taxes alone
we're more than one-third as much
as the corporations earnings after

TOWARD BETTER
PUBLIC HEALTH

What was probably the greatest
drive ever undertaken in the inter-
est of selling milk has just ended.
Lasting a month. 1t was made poss-
ible by the united. cooperative work
| of chain food stores. chain variety
and fye-and-ten stores, and large
number of organized independent
stores.
Early reports indicate that the
drive was a success in every respect,
and made a measurable dent in the
great milk surplus that has been
worrying the dairy farmer. 1t was
thus of the greatest value to agrl-
culture, and was the means of saw
ing farmers in every state heavy ana
perhaps uinous losses.
At the same time, the effect of the
drive on the consumer should not be
overlooked. During the campaign
newspaper ads. window displays
posters and similar material urged
every person entering a participant
ing store to use more milk, as
beverage and in cooking. The effect
of this on the public health will be
one of the most significant results
of the drive. No food is of greater
value to the body. and, according to
health experts, consumption of milk
by the average person is far below
the desirable level. A statement
made by one of the worlds foremost
nutrition authorities. DR.. E. V. Nc
Callum. Professor of Bio-chemistry
at Johns Hopkins. is of exception in
terest. He said: THE people who
have achieved, who have become
large, strong. vigorous people. who
have reduced their infant mortality,
who have the best trades in the !
world, who have an appreciation for
art. literature and music. who have
progressed in science and in every !;
activity of the human intellect. are
the people who have used liberal
amounts of milk ana its products. |
Thus, when American merchandis-
ers band together to sell more milk.
they are doing more than aid dis
tressed agriculture. important rs
that is. They are making a definite ,
and important contribution to bet ,
ter public health.
