DOING ITS PART

The year 1910 is doing its noble best to JUST.
fy the faith people Of this country placed in
1t when it first arrived.
There was almost universal belief that 1t
would mark the start Of a new era in pros.
perity. There had been a steady pull out OF
business recession for the better part Of a
year before it came. There was nothing to
indicate that the machinery of trade would
deteriorate in the year to come. On the con-
trary there was every reason to believe that
that machinery would attain higher mo-
mentum, more efficiency as confidence spread.
This is what happened. The year had no
more than toddled through the door than
business and industry were made conscious
of its presence.
Now we find that new auto inventories in
dealers hands are expected to reach 500 900
cars within a few days. A year ago they
totaled $4,000. February home furnishings
clearance sales did exceptionally we'll. Chemi.
cal shipments held up well through Jan.
uary and operations will be close to capacity
through the first quarter. Steel profit mar.
gins are being we'll maintained. Bidding for
print cloth continues to improve. Retail sales
of mems clothing are expected to reach the
best levels since 1887 and at least ten per.
cent above the first three months of 1889.
Shoe buying is picking up. Airplane factories
are boosting the machine tool industry; tool
manufacturers will get 100000 worth OF
business from this source. Food processing
firms are establishing new plants in the
South. There is no seasonal lull in the knit
goods business. Retail sales held up we'll in
February, when a seasonal drop was ex.
pected. They are running six to eight per.
cent above the same period a year ago.
One of the many things this indicates is
that the country has started out Of the de.
preston the democratic administration was
left as a legacy by the republicans. Having
made great advancement over conditions
seven years ago, it would seem as foolish
as swapping horses in the middle of the
stream to change party control now.

Dean" of St. Paul's, last visited
America, he was Rufus Jones's guest
for week end.
Jones spied his English friends
shoes set trustlngly outside bedroom
door. So he shined them - and re-
peated the job each night.
When the Very Reverend Dean was
leaving, he said, ''Dr. Jones, I've for
gotten someone. Will you give this to
the boy who shined my shoes?"
Surely And he'll be glad to get it,
said the distinguished Quaker. gravely
pocketing the dollar.
Rufus Jones told friend the story
because he thought it was uproarlously
funny | doubt if it ever occurred to
him that it is homily on hospitality,
humility and tact.
Rufus Jones has made it rule of
life to go to bed at ten o'clock.
Wherever l happen to be" he says
whimsically. But on the night of
February 20, 1899, he had to stay up
until all hours, because, jointly with
Clarence E. Pickett of the Service
Committee. he was receiving the
$4,000 award that Philadelphia gives
annually to its outstanding citizen.
But Rufus Jones isn't much inn
pressed with himself. He likes to tell
of the Middle Western woman who,
driving through Portland, Maine,
commented pungently to the natives:
such nice town! But such shore
line! Mud, mud, mud! should think
you'd get together and do something
to make it more attractive
She came back through Portland at
the end of summer.
I'm delighted" she said, Ito see
that my words did some good. The
waterfront looks real nice, now, with
all that mud gone and the shore line
brought in close to the road
Too many of us, says Rufus Jones,
think it was we who improved the
worlds shore line, when it was really

Which is Quaker humility. But
there are millions of men, women and
children in Germany, in France, in
Spain and in America who know full

they seem to have the knack OF

If you are in a 1910 super II
