Presidents Harding
and Coolidge
The sad and tragic death of Persi-
dent Warren G. Harding illustrates an
underlying feature of American life
not often given the full and so cz‘ul
consideration it merits. President
Harding. were he alive at this mo-
ment. would be the first to desire to
point out. this very fact.
It is that the progress and develop-
ment of American rneti litions depend
not so much upon the individual as
upon those foundations and principles
ulnbllshcd and set forth by the sign-
on: of the Declaration of independa
ence and evolved and perfected since
then.

A Little “Come-on”
4 Every-body's Magazine.)
A clergyman, taking occasional duty
for :1 friend in a rcmote country pur-
ish. was greatly scandallacd on observ-
ing the old verger. who had been coi—
lccting the offertory. quietly abstract
1 fifty-cent piece before presenting the
plate at the altar-rail.
After service he called the old men
into the vestry and .told him with
some emotion that his crime had been
discovered.
The verger looked puzzled for a mo-
ment. Then a. sudden light dawned on
him.
"Why. sir .ycu don't mean that old
half-dollar of mine? Why. l've led
on with that for the last fifteen
mars!"

The advance in the Reichsbanlt re-
discount rate to“ per cent was not
altogether a surprise to local banners
who have kept in touch with monetary
conditions in Germany. The former
rate of 18 per cent was patently too
low to check the flood of hills which
have been coming into the central
bani: in ova-increasing volume.
Whether or not the new rate will
accomplish the desired results remains
to be seen. Former rapid advances in
the bank rate have been without
eflect.
Pan-American Melanin.
ltoriea are current that a new pool
has been formed in the Pen-American
oils. which have had an excellent mar-
ket of late. The point made on their
behalf is that low prices for crude
petroleum do not work a hardship on
the Pen-American Company. because
the cost of production is exceedingly
low in Mexico. while the amount of
fuel oil such as that company produces
is relatively small with the lighter oils.
Rock Island’s Earnings.
While the results in net earnings ob-
tained by the Rock Island lines so for
this year are rather disappointing. the
deficit of 31.434.241. after charges.
which was shown for the first six
months. is ascribable largely to large
expenditures for maintenance of equi-
pment and of way. Although the first
half of the year is normally poorer
for the Rock Island lines than the
second. half gross earnings for six
months were 83107.11: larger than
they were for the corresponding period
of the previous year. However. the
Rock Island spent. on the average. :4
per ccnt of its gross earnings for equi-
pment and an additional 12 per cent
for maintenance of way. Or 36 per cent
of gross on those two ltt'ml alone. The
expenditures for equipment and up-
keep of roedbcd undoubtedly will be
smaller during the scronil half. while
earnings will as certainly hr larger. as
the Rock island is ctscntinlly a
grangcr road with a large l-‘sll grain
movement.
r
lmn Production Still High.
Several close students of thc. steel
industry are inclined to think that
rather too much has been made of
the recent blowing out of twenty-
aevcn blast furnaces. In spite of the
recent shut-downs. 297 blust furnaces
were operating on August 1. or forty-
(our more than at lhi' beginning of
the year. and more than twice the
number in operation at the beginning
of 1932. Pig iron production in May
reached the record rate of 3.867.094.
at an annual rate of more than 44.-
000.000 tons: it is pointed out that
this rate could not be nmintained for
any length of limc. if only because
of the normally of blowing out fur-
naces for rc-lining.
Baldwin Locomotive.
the Baldwin Locomotive Co. Worked
at full capacity throughout most of
July. Operations were increased
steadily since the early months of the
year. expansion being as rapid as de-
velopment of Working forces would
permit. The business booked for last
month was somewhat larger than in
June. Tho mnnugcment i-xpccts a
continuation of that expansion. The

than $30,000.00 of unfinished busi-
ness on its books. or enough to occu-

Crisis in Oil Industry. .
“'ith production in oil soaring to
the new high record average of 2.
374.000 barrels a day. it is evident
that the oil industry is far from sta-
bilized. The outstanding fact is that
production is running around 100.-
000 barrels I day in excess of con-
sumption. According to compilitions
by the U. 5. Geological Survey. not in-
cluding average daily receipts of
264,000 barrels from Mexico. In-
cluding those importations. supply is
increasing at the rate of 373.000 bar-
rels a. day. it is 11 question how long
the price of gasoline can be main-
tained at cdrrent retail levels under
such conditions. Gasoline has been
purchased wholesale in the Mid-Con—
tinent field as cheaply as nine cents
a gallon. California gasoline is de-
livered at Atlantic seaboard points
for eleven cents a gallon.
Armour a C0. Improves.
W'allAStreet commission houses hear
from their Chicago correspondents
that the recent pessimism over the
situation of the lending packers has
scarcely been Justified. Armour &
Co.. a concern which has been the
target of innumerable bearish ru-
mors. is reported to be earning charg-
es and preferred dividends by a com-
forteble margin. This showing has
been made in spite of the fact that
the company is receiving little more
than pre-wnr prices for its produc-
tion. The last half of the year is
usuelly a. better time for the packers
then the first six months. If the ex-
pected increase in gross msterielizes.
profits should be‘ somewhat better
then in the first two quarters of the
current year.
Treasury Deficit
During First Month
Washington. Aug. 3.—The treasury
ended the first month of the new fiscal
year with a deficit.
Figures made pubic for July showed
expenditures of 8214.003”. while the
receipts amounted to 2205.742.176.
As a consequence. of the deficit.
there was a comparable inereese in
the public debt together th a shrink-
age in the general fun of 888.085.
826. oncials explained. however.
that the increase in the public debt
was inconsequential while the opera-
tions for the month which included
certain interest payments were taken
into consideration. Among the receipts
for the month were 843125.078 in
customs. This figure was not as high
es the average for the last several
month: but. officials pointed out that
a decrease usually occurred in mid-
summer owing to the annual mg l
decline in imports of c risin comm .
lites. Customs otl'iciels deflated that
