We heard of a classified advertisement that brought in 800 replies at a lost of next to nothing. Can any smart reader guess where the advertisement was published? MacARTHUR MAN OF HOUR President Truman has given General Douglas Mac- Arthur unlimited powers to demilitarize Japan and to effect the political, economic and social evolution of the Japanese people. And American people know that MacArthur will carry the assignment through to a successful conclusion. There has been too much effort of late to identify MacArthur with political organizations. It was tried unsuccessfully in the la^ presidential campaign and undoubtedly will be tided again. MacArthur, who is the type of man who can be as signed to a task and be counted upon to perform that duty, has more sense than to become identified with politics in his present position. General MacArthur has done a first class job in the Pacific and he isn’t through yet. It is unfortunate that men like Acting Secretary of State Acheson andseveral senate and house politicians feel it necessary to exercise their right to criticize him. Daily the critics of MacArthur and they exist only in arm chair experts (?) are being given illus trations of the unfairness and ridiculousness of their criticism. MacArthur went at the job with caution because his common sense told him there was no other course by which success could be obtained. He was, in the initial period, without adequate military power to exercise firm and stem policies. Now he has the power to back up his authority and he is doing it well. MacArthur’s stern policies of discipline made him unpopular with certain groups of military men, marines in S articular. It is from these groups that criticism has come. ut America knows now that what MacArthur has done has been right. He is the outstanding figure of the war.

Behold, I saw an elaborate exhibit of Folly Core desisns. When a boy here in Gloucester I had s glri friend at a place on Cape Ann, known aa "Fcrfly CoTe," When I went down there my father used to caU it “Boser's Folly." Am I had nerer since heard of any other Folly Core, I stopped at Lord * Taylor’s and examined the goods. Sure eaoufh! they were from my own F<^y Core of Gloucester. Forth- wmore, I was sgaln proud of this Core. The goods were ss pretty ss the girl I used to go with. So, at my first opportunity I hiked beck to my old kome at Gloucester colon] where I am writing this oolnmn for my 400 friendly newspapers. Well, here is the remsrkable story: A rery inteUigent girl named Vl^nla Lee Burton, a graduate of the BosUm Art Museum, married a successful sculp tor named George Demetrlee. (By the way, if any "Mass, Tech.” men read this story please note she is the daughter of our belored Dean Burton and the slater of Senator Burton of Ohio.) Well, ahhoogh this Couple could'afford to lire In any apartment of any city, they chose to lire aa God intended they should lire. Hence, they bought a little farm bare at Fhlly Core and are llring better for less money. AftOT the honeymoon was over and George and Virginia had started two fine boys on their way, they decided to try a truly co-operatlTe experiment in art. They felt that many of the so-called ''co-operatlTe” enterprise^ are Just a form of big business sail ing under f^se colors. So this is what they ddi. They called together all their married neighbors, wires of farmers, fishermen, atxmecutters and others. These were mothers who were doing their own housework and taking care of their own children. Hence, the first requirement wss that ths work most be done at home. The seccMid reqnirement was that to hold these mothers’ Interest they most be encouraged to use their heads as well as their hands. Hence,. Vtr. ginia had them actually design and create something themselTeo. Vet, all of file townspeople—except Doro thy Norton and Louise Kenyon— thought this was tanposslMe. Only these two bellered that untralnsd peo. pie could design original patterns (and they must be abeohitely orglnal) for which great Fifth Arenue stores would scramble. Well, these women have no com pany nor organisation. Ihey call Mrs. Denietrioa, "President," while all the others are "Vice Presidents." They also elect a jury of fire to settle any disputes which may arise.

This means that the t axi cabs, which have operated from a stand on and stamped, yes, literally stamped upon because a woman must jump up and down on her block to make a good print! They began by making only table doilies, scarfs, etc., but now they make yard-goods for dresses. Curtains and exquisite wallpaper. But there is one more feature which should be noted. It usually costs more to s^l goods than to make them, but not so at Folly Cove. The overhead advertising and sales ex penses of theae women amount to only 1 1-1 per cent Hence, each wo man gets 98 1-S cents of every dirilar which th4 retail, stores pay for the goods. Theee women certainly are teaching manufacturers something Tn connection with distrlbutiMi. This lesson alone entttlee this story to be in this weekly financial column.
