WANTED: TE.4CHERS OF
HUMOR
I once had some correspondence
with the alumnae secretary of n wo
several j-ears past identifieid with the
fac-
pid>lkity work of the cotton rnanuf
turers’ association of this state.
The textile industry supports one
fifth of the white population of the
state, Mr. Jacobs' states. In 1929 it
paid more than 44 million dollars in
wages to more than 73,Q00 operatives
'and'TroiwumfiiJjl^^^ bales of cot
ton, 154,593 more^5ates~than-the_i|yi^
produced that year. In 1930 it sold al
nwsA 300 mitU^n dollars of its pro-
ducta. of which amount about three-
fourths went back to operatives and
cotton farmers.
This is not a technical volunw con
cerning itself with the technicalities
of cotton manufacture. It is a thor
ough and scientific study of the in
dustry and the problems it confronts.
Mr. Jacobs has gone into the financial
aituation of the mills from the view
point of the mill owners and the oper-
ativew: the influence of the desired
length .staple supply and the effect on
the cotton planter; and the share of
the tax burden, both state and local,
is cot:>pared with the other tax-paying
clii'liwov’ithin the state. Here is a
REFRESHMENT
In my New England boyhobd a sign
frequently seen on country tavem.s
was “Rj^reshment for- Man and
Beast.” Y^ou coul feed your horses and
yourself at the same time. Horses
have given place to .the automobile
and the filling station takes’the place
of the wagon-shed, while the food ob-
tadnable along the highways varies, as
a rqie, from bad to worse.

With everything else , bwoming

dardize roadside food stations so that
the motorist can be sure, before'try
ing his luck, what he is going to get,
was bound to come. One of the big oil
companies, operating its own gasoline
filling stations, has made a deal with
a large re.staurant organization which
operates a chain of eating places in
many pairts of the country. Light
lunches of good quality and real cof
fee are to he served at filling stations.
I can think of nothing better calculat

of the volume is the insight given to

what extent the activities in this di
rection have resulted in better school

community-sponsored athletics, recre

- Of course, the people who are doing
this get the bullion value of the’r gdld
in the form of bank notes, but it
strengthens their nation’s financial
position because it puts the gold
where it can be weighed and counted
aF a basis for currency, which is im
possible when it is in private hands.
Gold is useless exxept as a basis of
money. The debate on the Glass-Stei-
gall bill, just enacted, di8clo.sed the
fact that only a part of America’s
gold reserve, the largest in the world,
was availtble for monetary purposes,
owing to a defect in the original Fed
eral Reserve law. The neW law reme
