SATURDAY,
I.G. Compliments Pistol Instructor
The efforts among the commissioned personnel at France Field, in endeavoring to
master the finer points in pistol shooting
are believed to be unexcelled in the Army,
as the firing at France Field, under some
of the best instructors in the Army, has
been going on almost continually night
and day for the past three months, and as
France Field, in addition to having one
of the finest outdoor pistol ranges in the
Army, has a very modern and up-to-date
indoor range for night firing. The finer
oints of shooting activities going on at
rance Field are best shown by the very
complimentary letter received by Warrant
Officer H. Billingsley from the Inspector
General of the Army during his last tour
of inspection of the Panama Canal Zone,
which reads as follows:

annual target seasons with the pistol were
held prior to 1921.

The Army and Navy officers stationed
in Japan wrote another glorious page ia
the record of service achievement and their
work called forth the praise and gratitude
of all who witnessed it, irrespective of nationality.
The Japanese government is
already anxious to honor them for what
they accomplished for its nationals.
Maj. Edward F. Witsell, Inf., and Lt.
S. Cranford, C.E., U.S.A., were in charge
of the records section that obtained data
concerning the welfare and whereabouts of
every American in Japan at the time of
the great disaster of Sept. 1. The lists
obtained and compiled by these two offcers were the first authoritative lists forwarded to the United States through the
Embassy and the Department of State and
were broadcasted through the press.
These two officers received great credit
for the thorough and painstaking manner
in which they performed their important
task, leaving no stone unturned to avoid
omission or error. Both officers are language students attached to the American
Embassy and were selected for this important detail during the great earthquake

Instruction is given by lectures and informal talks and no recitations, either oral
or written, are required of the officers
availing themselves of the course.
The
idea of the course is to place before the
assembled officers in condensed form the
latest developments in military science and
provide them with ample reading references that will enable them to keep abreast
of their profession.
At the opening session Brig. Gen. Hugh
A. Drum, U.S.A., discussed the organization of the American Army for the MeuseArgonne offensive.
His lecture was liberally illustrated with lantern slides and
showed the organization of the line as a
whole and of its component parts.

Judge
Gary
3, 1923.
Declares
for Preparedness
A
SPLENDID tribute to the efficiency
and gallantry of the Army was paid
by Judge E. H. Gary of the United States
Steel Company at a luncheon at the ap.
nual meeting of the Army Ordnance Ags
sociation on Oct. 26 on the Aberdeen
Proving Ground. The Judge declared that
the maintenance of an adequate military
force for the protection of the country
was of the first importance. He insisteq
that every good citizen is opposed to war,
but believes we should be prepared to fight
any one and everywhere.
In the course of his address Judge Gary
said :
:
“In behalf of the American Iron ang
Steel Institute, so well represented here
to-day, I assure the.Army we are very
grateful for the courtesies extended which
we have so much enjoyed. And we are
glad to know that our industry is recog.
nized as important in the defense of this
great country, and in the effort to establish military preparedness, if and when it
may be necessary.
“Every country, solicitous for the welfare of its people, desires to establish and
maintain adequate military force. This is
of first importance for protection of 4a
country and for prevention of war. Every
good citizen appreciates that our country
has always been opposed to war, opposed
to military conflict, but at the same time
believes we should be prepared to fight
any one and everywhere, and to make perfect the defenses needed.
Soldiers, the
greatest and most competent to fight, are
always strongest for peace, but not to the
extent of preventing their being ready for
defense, and they are always ready to fight
This sy
to the uttermost if and when it becomes
is yo
necessary.
“Soldiers of America are naturally gentlemen. The habit of being a gentleman
grows from the time of entrance in the
Military Academy or enlistment in the
Volunteer Army. Proverbially, the American soldier does his military duty in such
a way as to command the affectionate interest of his countrymen.
Moreover, the
soldier equipped for fighting is also a good
business man.
This we found much to
our gratification during the war.
“We congratulate the gentlemen of this
society, under whose auspices we are here.
We have been much surprised this forenoon by what you have shown us. We of
the institute know little of the work of
the soldier, but we have sense enough to
appreciate by observing these exhibits
what you are doing.
During the dark days of 1917-1918,
when this country was forced to enter the
great international conflict, the Secretary
of War and the Secretary of the Navy
called into conference the leaders of the
iron and steel industry of this country for
its vital aid in the way of munitions. I
believe I say accurately that while the industry faced a great problem in meeting
this call so suddenly thrust upon it, not
once during the terrific struggle when re
sources were being strained to the utmost
did ovr military forees suffer in any of
their endeavors on account of a lack of appreciation or of intelligent disposition to
meet the needs of our Army and our Navy

for steel production greater than that of
any other country, greater indeed than the
combined capacities of all the other countries, and I wish you gentlemen of the
Army to know that in your studies of
preparedness for national safety the iron

sympathies, abilities and resources, and
congratulate you again, Gen. Williams and
your associates, and you gentlemen of the
Army Ordnance Association, on the great
and, valuable work you are engaged in, as
so interestingly and capably displayed
here to-day.

About the middle of the Nineteenth Century the factory system

to-day in no field of manufacture has greater progress been made
or more efficiency been attained through machinery. This is the

There is a machine now available for practically every process in
the making of shoes. And, by the way, there are one hundred

For centuries and centuries the method of making footwear did
not vary. A mural painting discovered in the ruins of ancient
Thebes shows Egyptian sandal-makers at work after the manner
of the early New England cobblers. Until a few generations ago
boots and shoes were made entirely by hand, and wholly by the
individual craftsman. This was the first “age” of shoemaking.

The country has just passed
through a great war in which, above all

things, it was apparent that there was a
lack of military knowledge, even among
those who were supposed to be informed.
To begin with, the leader of our victorious forces in France was made Chief
of Staff. The office of the Deputy Chief
of Staff was created, and five divisions
with a general officer at the head were procided for in the act. A system by which
it is supposed that the ablest officers in
the Army would be selected for the General Staff is outlined in the act.
Not only was there a provision that a
study by the General Staff should be sent
to Congress with every important recommendation of the Secretary of War, but
there are other provisions which indicate
that the General Staff is charged with
sreat responsibilities.
One of these provisions declares that it is the duty of the
General Staff “to investigate and report
the efficiency
ipon all questions affecting
of the Army of the United States and its
state of preparation for military operations. ‘
It is not contended here that the General
Staff has any legislative or executive authority. It is an investigating body, and
Congress has indicated ‘that it shall not
mly report to the Chief of Staff and Secretary of War, but to the legislative branch
of the Government.
There has been an effort in some quarters to confuse the issue by declaring that
the President is commander-in-chief of
the Army and through the Bureau of the
Budget he is authorized to direct the operations of the General Staff. No one questions the right of the President to exercise the command of the Army, but he
does not have the right to fix its strength.
This rests with Congress.
Neither does
he appropriate for the maintenance of the
Army. This is one of the powers of Congress. He can veto an Army appropriati n
bill which fixes the strength of the Army,
but with a two-thirds vote Congress can
pass a bill without his approval.
In the exercise of its authority for the
maintenance of the Army and Navy, Coagress hag directed the Secretary of War to
send a study to Congress or any committee
&
o2
of Congress with the recommendations of
the Secretary of War.
The Secretary of
War can make it plain that he disagrees
with the General Staff, or does not approve
of part of its recommendations, but at the
same time, if the head of the War Department carries out the provisions of the National Defense act, he will send the study
as directed.
Frequently I have heard officers refer
indulgently to the little General Staff that

was maintained in the War Department
before the war. I have heard it said that
we had no system before the war for trainFT
cowry
ing General Staff officers. Even members
of the old General Staff have admitted its
deficiencies.
At the same time, I want to insist that
it functioned when it came to shaping the
nilitary policy of the country. It was responsible for the original National Defease
act. It was a study from the old General
Staff before the reorganization act went
into effect that was finally enacted into
law as the present military policy of the
country.
Since the creation of the new and larger
General Staff it has been working industriously on plans for mobilizatidn of the
man-power of the nation. It has been doing a great many other things which would
be of incalculable benefit in event of war.
ut its funetions as an advisory body to
Congress and the conntry have been neglected. It has not shown the vitality of
the old General Staff. Its competency is
hot questioned, but for some reason it is
hot performing all its functions as provided for in the amended National Defense
act
Operation of Army Transports

After this bill was defeated, and just beIst ore Congress adjourned, Senator King introduced a bill which, if it had become a

shipping bill that comes up for consideration in the next Congress.
Some of the
advocates of the continued government
ownership of the merchant fleet are in favor of the operation of the fleet by the
Army Transport Service. As usual, both
extremes are wrong. The proposal to take
the ships away from the Army Transport
Service was wrong from a military standpoint. A fleet of transports under military control is necessary for the economic
operation of the Army in time of peace
and invaluable for minor emergencies requiring only the Regular forces. For quick
movement of troops for minor emergencies
the War Department should always have
a fleet of transports.
However, the War Department has no
desire to undertake to operate the great
war emergeacy merchant fleet. Any deficiencies in the operation of such a fleet
will be charged to the Army and used as
-another argument to reduce the strength
of our military forces. The War Department does not want to take any part in
the controversy as to whether the Shipping
Board should be abolished and the fleet
turned over to the Department of Congress as provided for in the King bill, but
they do not wish to be charged with the
responsibility of operating the merchant
fleet. However, they may not be consulted, and if the King bill is passed in its
present form the Army Transport Service
will be expanded to include all of the government merchant ships. The King bill
provides that the Department’of Commerce should manage the fleet.
Handicapping Recruiting
A STUDY of the operations of the Blanton amendment to the Army Appropriation bill shows that it places the Army
out of the market for young men in conducting its campaign for ealistments. Under the amendment, the Army now is securing practically no enlistments between
the ages of 18 aad 21 years. There are a
very few young men of these ages who are
willing to go to the trouble of complying
with all of the provisions of ihe Blanton
amendment,
This is a very serious handicap. It is
estimated that in former years from 30.to
40 per cent. of the first enlistments were
between the ages of 18 and 21. This is
really the fighting age of men.
This is
the age in which young men excel in athletics. It is in this period that they are
being built up physically.
During this
formative age service in the Regular Army
would do them more good than at any
other time.
Shortly after a man passes the age of
21 he selects his vocation for life. Some
act a little later, but most young men have
made up their minds when they have
reached the agé of 23 or 24. At an earlier
age they are looking for adventure, and
that is w— most of them enter the Regular Arm
‘Added. to this handicap had been the demand for men from all of the industries.
It is then not surprising that the recruiting service is hard pressed to keep up the
strength of the Regular Army.
Naval Personnel Efficiency Study.
HE General Board has gone far enough
in its study of naval personnel efficiency
and management to determine that it will
be necessary to work out an entirely new
policy. In searching its files it had found
very little on the subject and must depend
entirely upon suggestions and testimony
from officers whom it will call before it
from time to time.
In the past, the General Board has devoted its time entirely to matériel. This
is the first time it has been ealled upon to
study personnel matters and recommend a
general policy. Members of the board are
free to admit that a very complex problem
is presented and one that will require considerable time.
It is generally recognized that with the
changes in modes of living and thought of
the people of the country there must be
some progressive measures adopted by the
Navy.
Naturally, however, officers with
long .service in the Navy® hesitate to disturb any established institutions of the
Service. The Navy has a glorious record.
The conduct of its personnel in battle compares with that of anye Navy in the world.
Its regulations have been liberalized from
time to time, but some of the most efficient commanders in the Service are of
the opinion that there is room for improvement.

General Board will be called upon to make
some recommendations as to what is the
Tequired strength of the “treaty Navy.”
In some quarters it is insisted that a
treaty Navy should be clearly defined by
the General Board.
New Naval Construction Program
IX signing the Naval Treaty, the United
States abandoned the program of 1916.
The program of 1916 was something definite to place before the people. The advocates of national defense were able to rally
around it and from year to year secure
legislation increasing the strength of the
American Navy.
The program was authorized by an act of Congress and it was
only a question of securing appropriations
from year to year to carry it out. The
keels were laid, or the contracts were let,
for the completion of the 1916 program
when the United States went into the conference for the limitation of naval armaments.
The conference went just far
enough to destroy the 1916 capital ship
program, but it practically put no limitation on cruisers and lighter ships. All the
strong features of the 1916 program that
was nearing completion were wiped out by
the treaty.
What is needed now is another program,
one that will come within the limits of the
treaty. It is stated that the General Board
has made a study of a matériel program
under the treaty. As a matter of fact, the
Secretary of the Navy has given out extracts of it. Evidently, the recommeadations for this year’s new construction are
part of it. The entire program has not yet
been given to the public.
t is now stated that the General Board
is of the opinion that a policy for personnel should be added to the program for
ships. ‘The limitation placed on construction of new ships increases the importance
of a trained personnel.
If the strength
of the enemies’ navy is to approximate that
of the American Navy it will then be a
trial of the strength of personnel.
Men
that man the ships have always been an
important factor in naval warfare. Some
of the great strategists have given the personnel first place. If they were to study
the problem under the limitation treaty
there is no doubt that they would increase
the value set on personnel.
Naval Personnel Bill
HE date at which the Woods running
mate bill was to reach the Secretary of
the Navy has been postponed just one
week.
Intead of going to the Secretary
on Oct. 29, it will not reach there until
Noy. 5. It is possible that the bill will
not be given out until a week later, as the
Secretary may desire to spend some time
reviewing it.
The joint committee representing the
line and the staff corps had agreed to every
provision last week, and it went to the
Judge Advocate General for final revision
this week. In reading the bill for about
the hundredth time one of the members of
the committee discovered a joker. It was
one that had slipped into the bill without
any intention on the part of anyone. In
correcting this one objectionable feature it
was necessary to reassemble the entire
committee and reframe two provisions of
the bill. It was stated, upon the author.
ity of ‘several members of the committee,
that every provision of the bill had now
been agreed to by the representatives of
all corps.
Some serious objections are
said to have come from the Construction
Corps. These objections were of such a
serious character that at one time there
was a possibility of the Construction Corps
being left out of the bill.
But this has all been adjusted.
Concessions, it is said, have been made on
both sides, and the bill will go to the Secretary by unanimous recommendation of the
representatives of all the staff corps.

France Well Kept
HERE is no reasonable ground upon
which to base criticism of the permanent American cemeteries in Europe, according to the Secretary of War and Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army.
Sixty per cent. of the burials in these
cemeteries had to be exhumed for return
to homes or national cemeteries in the
United States for burial. The last important shipment arrived in the United States
on the U.S.A.T. Cantigny June 30, 1922.
According to the plans formulated by a
commission consisting of Col. C. C. Pierce,
Chief of Graves Registration Service, and
members of the Fine Arts Commissioa,
Mr. ‘Charles Moore, Mr. Wildam, Mitchell
Kendall and Mr. Greenleaf, all the permanent cemeteries Were rearranged with
a view to beautifying their future appearance. These plans involved the exhumation and transportation to the permanent
cemeteries for reburial therein of the forty
per cent. of burials in temporary cemeteries which were to be evacuated.
The major portion of the concentration
work of Belleau Wood was completed
about Dec. 22, 1922. Reburials in small
number, however, continued until May 14,
1923, In all of this work this office exacted the most careful regard for identification, the handling of bodies with the reverence and respect due military dead.
The plans formulated by this commission were submitted to a board composed
of the Assistant Secretary of War, Gen.
Pershing and and the Quartermaster General.
Maj. H. L. Green, constructing
quartermaster, arrived in Paris Oct.
3,
1922, to take charge of the work and prepare working plans for the improvements
which were forwarded to this country for
consideration by the Fine Arts Commission, and approved. Meantime, Maj. Green
was preparing specifications, calling for
bids and making contracts for the work.
Contract for the work at Belleau Wood
provides for operations to begin April 6,
1923, to be completed within 250 working
re from the beginning, about Jan. 23,
The chairman of the Fine Arts Commission, Dr. Charles Moore, made a tour the
past summer of the American cemeteries
in France accompanied by George Gibbs,
an American landscape architect.
After
discussing the general improvements he
found being developed, including the planting of trees and the growth of grass, Mr.
Moore in his report makes the significant
statement: “Thus far Congress has made
no appropriation for headstones for the
American graves in Europe. The wooden
erosses are still being used, and these
crosses are being renewed from time to
time.”
Good architectural effects are being developed there through the efforts of Maj.
Green, who is a graduate of the Massachuestts Institute of Technology, with
over ten years of experience with the famous architect, John Lawrence Mauran
of St. Louis, former president of the American Institute of Architects. Lt. Col. H.
R. Casey of the construction division of
the office of the Quartermaster General,
War Department, has also co-operated
with the Fine Arts Commission since the
beginning of the work.
Exhumations for return to the United
States and the reburials in accordance
with the new plans involved excavations all
over the cemeteries which must be filled
and refilled until settling ceases. All
graves eventually settle and must be refilled. The new plans further involved
considerable grading, which also must settle. In order to produce a turf top-soiling
and fertilizing were necessary. These were
matters in which nature had to be allowed
to make its slow progress, with the certainty that when the graves had finally ceased
sinking, fills-in grading settled, the topsoil
and fertilizer had been applied and properly combined, assurance would_result upon
which a good, strong turf could and would
be established.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed since
the exhumations, new inhumations and
grading was done to permit nature to do
its work.
It must be remembered that
about 60 per cent. of the2digging up was at
the request of relatives of the dead, who
wished bodies returned to the United
States.
’
The new plans for the permanent cemeteries provided for construction of roads,
walks and buildings. This work cannot be
earried on without digging up the ground,
nor without bringing and storing material
for construction thereon. There has bee
no avoidable delay in this work.

Contributions to the so-called “poor

Times
HaveChanged
There was a time, and not so long ago at that, when the
word “thrifty” brought to the average mind recollections of
some miserly, much despised, and narrow-minded person—
someone who drove sharp bargains, was mercenary in his
dealings with his fellow men, and hoarded his ever-increasing
“pile of gold” at the expense of the community and oftentimes at the expense of his immediate family.
Nowadays, however, the word “thrift” is understood by
the great majority of people in its true and broad sense. The
thrifty man is now the efficient man—the man who is looked
up to and respected by his friends and fellow men.
The
efficient man is thrifty with his money; thrifty with his time,
strength, and energy; and thrifty in his mode of living.
No longer do most people believe that to be’ popular one
must be extravagant with his money, time and health. Quite
the contrary—the thriftless (or shiftless) individual is now
looked down upon and pitied by his acquaintances.
Isn’t now the best time for those few who are still money,
time and health “wasters” to turn over a new leaf and join
the ever-increasing number of men who are thrifty and
efficient?

mery kicked off to Ballinger, but the half
ended with the Middies rushing the ball in
midfield.
The first part of the second half was a
repetition of the kicking duel of the first
half, with Van Gerbig still holding the advance, The Tigers put themselves in scoring
range when Dinsmore completed a pretty pass
to Beattie for nearly 40 yards, but with the
ball on the 8-yard line, the Tigers failed to
put it across and their last chance to tally
glimmered.
Now it was the Navy’s turn to attack, and
attack they did in a series of rushes that
carried the ball more than half the length of
the field on two separate occasions.
Both
times they reached the Tiger 7-yard line
only to be stopped by the determined stand
of the Princeton line. On the third and last
march, when the Princeton team had been
rushed up and down the field in apparent
disorder, the Tigers again held, and this time
Ballinger was called upon for a drop kick.
His successful attempt tied the score, and the
Middy stands went wild.
After the final kick-off the Tigers desperately attempted various passes, but time was
called before any further threat.

were the result of the splendid team playing
of Lt. Judge and Capt. Williams, who were
always on the job, clearing the way by riding
off their opponents.
Lt. Hazelrigg, playing No. 1 on the Fort

as preventing the Fort Des Moines team from

tory for Fort Des Moines by the score of 13
to 6. Fort Snelling played better polo in
the second game and at times held her opponents even. Despite the protests of the Fort
es Moines team the handicap of one goal
placed on the Fort Snelling team before the
first game, for an eight-period game, was fixed
by the referee at the end of the sixth period
and the score stood 12 to 2 in favor of Fort
Des Moines. The team captain of Fort Des
Moines, Capt. Tobin, decided that as the game
was safe he could afford to play two substitutes. Capt. J. K. Cockrell, 14th Cav., was
therefore substituted for Lt. Judge, and Lt.
W. L. McEnery for Capt. Tobin. The team
work of the Fort Des Moines team was thereafter pretty ragged, and the result was that
Fort Snelling scored two goals in each of the
seventh and eighth periods to one goal for
Fort Des Moines.

NATIONAL
COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION.
Arrangements have been made for the next
conference of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association to be held in Atlanta, Ga., Dec.
27 and 28. “he Southern Railway has offered
to put on special cars from New York for the
use of delegates. The schedule running time
from New York is twenty-five hours. “It has
been suggested,’’ says Brig. Gen. Palmer E.
Pierce, president of the N.C.A.A., “that the
attempt be made again this year to secure
special rates. In order to do this, it will be
necessary to present 250 tickets to the agents of
the railway at Atlanta. A number of other
organizations will meet during the same week in
that city, and if all delegates on the purchase
of tickets would ask for the necessary certificates, it might be possible to secure the 1%
fare to Atlanta and return. In order that application may be made for reduced rates, you
are requested to write the secretary immediately
as to the number of delegates who will go from
your institution, and whether or not they will
ask for the necessary certificates of the local
agents.”
The representatives of the Southern Inter
Collegiate Conference are making arrangements
for the entertainment of the delegates, the details of which will be furnished in the usual
circular letter to be sent out during December.
The chief subject for discussion will be the
administration of athletics by our colleges. The
discussion will be led by President Angell of
Yale. Other speakers will include Professor
Savage of Oberlin and Professor Dawson of
the Springfield Training School.
GOVERNORS ISLAND WINS FROM
HAMILTON, 4 TO 3.
As a result of Fort Hamilton’s defeat at
Polo on Oct. 26 by Governors Island players,
the Island is now in the final round of the
tournament for the Shore Road Perpetual
Challenge Cup.
It required an extra period of play to break
the tie of 3 to 3. Capt. Yuill secured the
ball near the sideboards and with a brilliant
backhand pass centered it to Maj. Rudd, who,
in position about 50 yards from the Hamilton
posts, received his teammate’s pass and with
a dash carried the ball through the goal for
the winning point, 4 to 3.
s
f
The game was.played under the handicaps
of the American Polo Association, and Fort
Hamilton conceded the Governors Island combination a single point imstead of the six
which the Army handicaps call for at the
opening of play. Capt. Yuill added to this
point in the first period, while Maj. Rudds
work at back warded off tue attacks of the
Fort Hamilton stars through the first tw?
chukkers.
However, in the third chukker
Sgt. Tupper, the Fort Hamilton No. 1, scored.
D. C. Fonda regained the two-goal lead for
Governors Island in the fourth, but Tupper
again closed the gap to one point with a goal
in the fifth.
As the teams entered the final chukker, tne
Governors Island players were leading, 3 t°
2, and they brought forth their best polo to
ward off the attack of the Fort Hamilton four
andemaintain their margin. Attack after attack was checked by Capt. Yuill at No. 9°,
and those which did get past him were met
and turned back by Maj. Rudd.
Finally,
however, Maj. Sands succeeded in getting past
the defensive wall, tying the score 30 seconds
before the gong. For five minutes after the
end of the period the two teams battled back
and forth, but neither succeeded in scoring
again. The mounts were tired and it was
decided that time should be called in order
to change ponies and an extra period be
played. Three minutes after the resumption
of play Maj. Rudd sent through the winning
goal as detailed above.

THIRD
CORPS AREA DEFEATS
GEORGETOWN, 14-7.
The 3d Corps Area football team on Oct.
27 won from the Georgetown University team
by a score of 14 to 7. The 3d Corps put
across two touchdowns in the opening period.
Substitutes then replaced some of the regulars, which made the game less one-sided. The
Army found easy gong through the center of
Georgetown’s line. Timberlake, Dodd and
Noyes gained at will through the Georgetown
guards. The only Georgetown scoring came
in the second period, when Byrne, standing
on his own 30-yard line, threw a pass to
Hegarty for a touchdown.
The 3d Corps Area made sixteen first downs
to Georgetown’s nine first,downs. The Army
team was on its way to another touchdown
in the fourth period when the whistle blew,
ending the game.

in the Service
The Decoater is the modern
type of tooth brush. It is made
to the specifications of leading
dental authorities.
In size,
shape and separations it conforms to requirements on which
experts now agree.
It reaches every surface and
penetrates between the teeth.
People well-advised are using
this type everywhere today.
The Decoater comes in two
styles—Home Style and Pocket
Style. The Pocket Style is for
men away from home. It fits
the vest pocket or a traveling
case.
It folds into a ventilated metal
case. The brush part, as it wears
out, is replaced by refills.
Here, for the first time, is a
convenient, sanitary way to
carry a tooth brush with you.
Most exchanges and depots
now sell the Decoater. If you
fail to find it, remit to us.

By Raymond V. Sykes.
General business showed some slight improvement here and there during the week,
but a cautions restraint is still quite perceptible. Iron and steel buying during October was on a slightly larger scale than in
the preceding months, orders having gained
about 10 per cent. Present buying in this
industry is on a scale which represents about
65 per cent. of production capacity.
Commodities and Securities.
Strength in cotton prices was the most conspicuous development in the commodities market during the week. Other commodities were
little changed, or displayed a downward tendency. The crisis in Germany is occupying a
rominent position in the news of the day.
he agpew ys of a break-up of the German
Republic had a depressing effect on all European exchange rates. The prospects of another reparations
parley resulted in a rally
in exchange rates later.
Average prices for forty leading stocks,
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, made
a new low for the year a few days ago. There
seems little likelihood, under the present outlook for business, of any large upturn in industrial stocks in the near future, barring a
possible technical rally. The railroads are in
& strong position, and their earning power is
improving, but it seems difficult to attract a
public following on account of the prejudice
that exists in connection with possible legislative interference.
It would be advisable,
however, to hold railroad stocks at these levels because of their intrinsic cheapness.
On the other hand, the outlook for fixed
nel
gene
income-bearing securities is quite favorable.
The outlook indicates higher prices for investment bonds and preferred stocks in the reasonably near future, and also over a proa tract
period, extending for perhaps ten

maintained between interest rates for commercial money and the yields of fixed incomebearing securities.
Bonds May Go Higher.
Capital is mobile and flows from the commercial market into the investment market
and back, whichever offers the best employment, There is a redundant amount of gold
in this country, and it is probable that interest rates will remain relatively low for a
number of years to come. Also, if business
slackens, a great deal of credit will be released from commercial usages for investment
in securities. This means a gradual bidding
up of bonds.
In the second place, there is a prospect of
lower commodity prices and, if this develops,
the effect on bonds would be bullish. This
would be due to the increased purchasing
power of both principal and interest. For
example, if a 4 per cent. bond were purchased
at 70 now, the total investment would be
$700. Assuming wheat were $1.50 a bushel
and represented all commodities, the exchange
value of the bonds would be 466 bushels of
wheat.
Assuming the bond matured in 15
years, it would then be paid off at $1,000,
and if wheat, or all commodities, were down
to $1 a bushel, the bond would have an exchange value of 1,000 bushels, or more than
twice its present value. Wheat, of course, is
not selling at $1.50 a bushel at present, but
the Bureau of Labor Index stands at about
150, as compared with 100 in 1913. A return to 1913 prices is not at all an improbability, as such a development has happened
twice before, once following the war of 1812
and again following the Civil War.
Tax Question.
Income taxes have been responsible for the
selling of taxable bonds and substitution of
non-taxables. This has helped depressed corporation and railroad bonds to the lowest
level in years. Should the present agitation
against the higher bracket sur-taxes result in
a modification there would undoubtedly be a
tremendous amount of taxable bonds acquired
by those who cannot now afford to purchase
them. This is an element of potential strength
that is frequently overlooked.
The one possibility that will militate against
higher bond prices is a pronounced business
boom, accompanied by a pernicious state of
inflation.
Such a development, however, is
remote. The following taxable bonds are we
gested as attractive for the investor in moderate circumstances:
