WHY BUSINESSES FAIL

Political reformers who have new
er manager a business usually take it
for granted that existing firms and
employers are there to stay" observes
the New York Times.
This misconception is far more COM
mon than it should be-and it is doubt
less a factor in the flood of state, feder-
al and municipal legislation designed
to penalize efficient merchandisers, in
the interest of the inefficient. The fact
ct the matter is that the life of an aver
age business is extremely Shorthand
shat has been true for half q century.

WHEN THE FIREMEN CALL

Ii two firemen come to your door,
writes Paul w. Kearney in This Week
Magazine, "By all means let them in.
They are visiting you in their spick and
span uniforms simply bcause they want
to avoid a later call in rubber coats
and BOOTS"
Mr.. Kearney describes the yolun-
tary home inspection campaigns, in
which an increasing number of COM
munities in various population brackets
are joining. The statistics tell the story.
When, for instance, Cincinnati inaugu-
rated its program five years ago, four
teen truckloads of useless, combustile
rubbish were carted from a SINCE house
and five from another. In the first Pro-
violence, R. /. campaign, 1850 tons of
dangerous waste, an average of 43 lbs.
per home, was carted to the municipal
incinerator. Result: the annual dwell
ing fires dropped at once from $50 to
POI.
Many can show similar records.
And such vital safety work as this
should not be confined to large commu-
mites, with established full time depart
ments. It should be possible, through
cooperative action, for every small
town to work with state and county
fire authorities in inaugurating and
carrying on these voluntary campaigns.
In fact, they are especially needed in
rural areas, where thousands of farm
homes and barns contain useless, dan
gerous junk.
In some cities where this plan has
been tried there has been a so per cent
drop in dwelling fires. AS Mr.. Kearney
says, "This is no small result in a nation
which has 1000 dwelling fires a day
which has burned more than a billion
collars worth of homes in the last. de-
cade-Whieh has seen residential blazes
increase 40 per cent since 1926. And it
is in residential blazes that rs per cent
OF our fire deaths (half of them child
REM occur"

FATHER SAYS

The problem of every human being
is to adjust his life and thinking to the
social order in which he lives. The ma
tural instinct of man to be with his own
kind makes it necessary. We live,
work, worship, and play with our fellow
men and fellow women, and we must,
for III own interests and theirs, ad-
just our lives and order of our think
ing to the best interests of the group
we call society. Our own comfort, con-
venience and mental health demands
it; the social code imposes it.
The child's first acquaintance with
the social order comes in the home.
The first realization that there is such
a thing as constituted authority comes
early. Children are born with wills of
their own, and they are speedy in de-
~veloping. If the child learns, in the
home, through its earliest experiences
that authority must be respected, and
that certain lines of conduct are &C
ceptable while others are not, the later
adjustment to the demands of the
group will not be difficult. Weak, vac
illating parents who bow before child
ish exhibitions of temper, who yield
Immediately to every demand whether
it is reasonable or not, do little but
store up future trouble for themselves
and for their children.
1t is unreasonable and unjust to
regard the baby as something of a play
toy. A great many parents seem to
regard their children as one might be
expected to regard puppies. They go
to all sorts of lengths to secure dem
o~nstrations of affection, encourage all
sorts of exhibitions of what they fondly
conceive to be p~rodigious talent, and
never seem to give a thought to the
idea that such centering of the atten-
ton may be harmful to the child.
Pre-school children are not unlike
other human beings. They, too, crave
recognition and attention. The exper-
fence is pleasant, and they find it good.
Parenthetically, I might say that it is
one of the most effective means toward
the training of a socially acceptable
character.
Parents need to develope a fine
sense of Judgement in order to use this
natural urge to the child's best advan-
tage. A judicious bestowal of praise
is stimulating and to the child's inter
ests. A sound procedure to follow

BUYERS GUIDE
bv Clarence H. Peacock

The O market is one OF the most
connective markets in the United
States. At present rival manufactur-
ers are giving away automobiles, Eur
opean tours, automatic refrigerators,
and what not in their battle to hold old
customers and win new ones. Yet
most of the larger soap companies do
not advertise in the Negro market nor
make any appeal for Colored patron
age.
The 2,803,7 56 Colored families in
this country spend over fifteen million
dollars a year for soap and soap pow
ders. Also to be taken into consider
alton is the many thousands of Colored
people employed in White homes who
are given the privilege of choosing the
brand of soap used.
Last year four of the larger soap
companies spent over fourteen million
dollars in advertising. Only one of
these companies did any advertising in
the Negro market.
The Colgate Palmolive-Peet Com
pany manufacturers of Super Suds,
Palmolive and Octagon Soap exhibited
their products at the Afro-American
Cooking School in Washington, D. c.
They also advertised in the Afro-Am-
erican while the Cooking School was in
session.
This is one of the instances where
Colored people are squarilering and
wasting their huge buying power. If
a greater portion of the fifteen million
dollars now spent aimlessly and fool
ishly by Negroes for soap were spent
with n or two companies, these com
panies would hire more Negroes in
their factories and sales organizations.
They would also spend a much larger
part of their advertising budgets in the
Negro market so as to hold their old
customers and to win new ones.
The economic whip is one of the
greatest and most effective weapon
that Colored people have in their fight
for a right to live and survive in the
economic life Of this nation. The Ne
gro press should take the initiative and
work out some plan to harness and use
this tremendous buying power for the
benefit of the masses as any plan will
need their support to be effectively put
over.
To get the greatest benefits from
your purchasing power, read our Col
ored newspapers and buy their adver-
tised products.
