In,pressible Man

Every man, however obscure,
however far removed from the
general recognition, is one of a
group of men impressible for
good, and impressible for evil,
and it is in the nature of things
that he can not really improve
himself without in some degree
improving other men. - Charles
Dickens.

Grandfather Frog actually had
started out to see the Great World.
better than the Smiling Pool, where
Grandfather Frog had spent his
whole life.
eff old Mr.. Toad can take care of
himself, I can take care of myself
out in the Great World" said Grand
father Frog, talking to himself as
with great jumps he started out
to the Green Meadows. II guess he
isn't any smarter than 7 am. He
isn't half so spry as I am, and
can jump three times as far as he
can. I'll see for myself what this
Great World is like, and then I'll
60 back to the Smiling Pool and
stay there the rest of my life. Chug-
arum, how warm it isl"
1t was warm. Jolly, round, red
Mr.. Sun was smiling his broadest
and pouring his warmest rays down
on the Green Meadows. The Merry
Little Breezes of Old Mother West
Wind were taking a nap. You see,
they had played so hard early in
the morning that they were tired.
So there was nobody and nothing
to cool Grandfather Frog, and he
just grew warmer and warmer with
every jump. He began to grow
thirsty, and he did long for a plunge
in dear, cool Smiling Pool! But he
was stubborn. He wouldn't turn back
40 matter how uncomfortable he
felt. He would see the Great World
if it killed him. So he kept right on,
jump, jump, jump, jump.
Now, Grandfather Frog had been
up the Laughing Brook and down
the Laughing Brook, where he could
swim when he grew tired of travel
ing on the bank and where he could
cool off whenever he became too
warm, but never before had he been
very far away from water, and he
found this very different matter.
At first he had made great jumps,
for that is what his long legs were
given him for, but the long grass
bothered him, and after little the
jumps grew shorter and shorter and
shorter, and with every jump he
pulled and pulled and presently be-
gan to grunt. You see, he never
before had made more than a few
Jumps at a time without resting,
and his legs were not used to it.
So they grew tired in a very little
while.

CHICAGO, May 26.-A policy Of
maintaining war production first
and asking questions later was urged
upon manufacturers today by j. s.
Knowlson director of industry op-
erations Of the War Production
Board.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry before the National Association

son acknowledged there would be
some unclear or conflicting orders.
He said, however, all were made
with the aim OF speeding war pro-
duction and channeling into pro-
duction at the most urgent places
every ounce Of available materials.
IF you think those orders fail
and don't help accomplish that end,
ask for an interpretation" he ad-
vised. IF you have doubts and feel
you must act, do it. Tell us what
you have done, and ask our ap-
proval. But don't stop war produc-
ton. -
Some of our enforcement men
may not be all that you and might
ask in Judgment and diplomacy,
but rest assured that no man has
yet been held in violation Of an
order without a hearing"

Imports Top Exports
In u. ). Trade With
Latin America
Excess of Purchases
In First Quarter
Laid to War Needs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Because of war factors, the Com
fnerce Department said today that
the United States is buying an In
creasingly larger amount Of goods
from Latin American than this
country sells to the other American
republics.
Withholding figures on gross ex-
ports and imports, the department
said that In the first three months
of this year imports Of merchandise
from Latin America exceeded .ex-
ports to that region by 81, ,976, 900.
Before the war, exports cusomarily
ran ahead Of imports, but the trend
has been reversed and even in the
first quarter Of last year imports ex-
ceeded exports in Latin American
trade by $60,082,000.
While this trend was true in most
instances, during the first quarter
in trade between the United States
and Mexico exports were ahead by
s10,145 900. Exports also were ahead
by smaller amounts in trade with
Honduras, the Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
Among all the other Latin Ameri-
can countries imports were ahead by
as much as $31,771 900 in the case
of Brazil, $24, 900 in the case of
Argentina, and $12,950,000 in the
case of Chile.
The department added that "this
shift to a net import balance has
occurred despite substantial increase
In United States exports to these
countries during 1941 and the first
quarter OF 1912, and so reflects our
rapidly increasing dependency on
Latin America as a source of raw
material supplies"

Cotton Surplus Sales Near
Limit Under 1888 Act
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Government stocks of raw cot
ton soon will have to be withdrawn
from the market unless there is a
change in the 1888 Agricultural
Adjustment Act, Agriculture De-
partment officials disclosed today.
The Government owns about 81
900 bales which were acquired
under grower-loan programs. An
additional 1885, 900 bales are stored
under loans.
The Government has been selling
from its own stocks. However, the
1888 Farm Act limits such sales to
100000 bales during a. calendar
year Sales made so far this year
total 1922 1854 bales, leaving only
177,636 bales to be sold during the
remainder of 1912
Sales, which have been averaging
about 100000 bales a month
amounted to 1875, los bales in May
Rejecting the demand for such
cotton, the department received
bids for 588, ,050 bales during May.

n. A. N. Reports Data
Discredits Talk Of
Big War Profits
Study Of 1907 Naval
Contracts Indicates
Moderate Margins
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 26.-The Ma
tional Association, of Manufacturers
has analyzed 1907 completed naval
contracts to assemble data which, 1t
claims, discredits beliefs that in
dustry has been "reaping exorbi-
tant profits" on war work.
Profit margins on gross business
were narrower since 1880 than in
the preceding decade, chiefly be-
cause Of the growing "tax burden"
the report said. and it appears prob
able net profits reached their war
time peak during 1941 and are
likely to recede In the future"
The study said the House Naval
Affairs Committee had issued a re-
port which lied many to believe
that the majority of contractors are
reaping exorbitant profits"
The association said under the
defense and war production pro-
grams net profits before taxes had
risen largely because increased
volume had reduced overhead costs
per unit, but direct costs, especially
taxes, wages and raw materials, had
been cutting into net profit margins.
Increased labor costs since 1910
have not been offset by increased
output per worker" the report
stated. A breakdown of contracts
produced these figures:
OF 1,o13 general contracts, the
median profit was SO per cent Of
cost, but probably would be reduced
to about "a per cent after taxes.
OF TIT contracts for aircraft, the
median profit was per cent before
taxes, or an estimated 4 per cent
after taxes.
OF lis ordnance contracts the
median profit was 7 per cent Of
cost, but taxes would cut this to
about 3.5 per cent.
OF 62 contracts for naval vessels,
the median profit was 40 per cent,
but probable taxes would reduce 1t
to % per cent.
The survey expressed opposition
to any arbitrary limit on profits, but
advocated maximum" excess profit
taxation as proposed by the House
Ways and Means Committee.

Assistance Offered;
Market Insured
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department today
offered technical and financial as
sistance and an insured market to
encourage Gamers and professors to
expand vegetable dehydration facili-
ties.
Because of a shortage of tin and
other containers and necessity Of
conserving transportation space, the
department said greatly increased
quantities Of dried vegetables were
needed.
The department said 1t would help
interested concerns to obtain pri-
critics for processing materials and
would furnish technicians trained IN
the dehydration processes.
It also said that Government
loans for facilities could be arranged.
Officials said they believed, however,
that sufficient private capital would
be available.
The department offered to enter
contracts for the purchase of the
output of the dried foods. Officials
said the entire production for many
months would be needed for the
armed forces and for shipment
abroad under the lend-lease pro-
gram.
Little if any Of the production
would be available for civilian con-
sumption.

American Car Appeals
Dividend Injunction
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., May 26.-The
American Car & Foundry Co. asked
the New Jersey Court of Errors and
Appeals today to invaidate an in
junction tying up payment of more
than $500.000 in dividends to hold
ers of common stock.
Counsel for the New Jersey cor
poration, whose registered Office is
in Jersey City, contended Vice
Chancellor Henry T. Kays erred
in ruling that a 81 a share dividend
ordered by the company's directors
for October l, 1941, was unjustified
in|that it was contrary to the rights
OF preferred stock owners.
The protested injunction was OBJ
tanned by Oscar B. Cintos of
Havana. Cuba, owner of $500 shares
of preferred stock with an aggre-
gate par value of s25o,0OO. Cintos
contended the common stock divi-
dend would have been paid from
