Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- i class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 BUSINESS GOOD THIS FALL Retailers should lay in a healthy stock of goods this fall, says the latest Babson Financial Report. The reasons for the re- cently acquired hand-to-mouth policy of buying goods have dis- appeared, says the report, which bases its advice on three things: First, business is picking up. The wage earning and salaried classes, representing 90 per cent of the people and the bulk of the buying power, are employed and prosperous. Factories are taking on additional men. The building trades are fully employed, a short- age of men existing in some sec- tions. Unskilled labor is in heavy demand, as the recent 20% in- crease in steel wages indicates. Bumper crops on the farms mean money to spend in the agricul- tural districts. Second, a car shortage may make it impossible to secure enough goods to supply the trade this winter. On August 1, 1921, there were 125,000 surplus box cars in the United States. On August 1, 1922, there were less; than 30,000, with the bumper crop to move and the necessity at hand of transporting the winter's coal supply which has been interrupt- ed by the strike. Third, prices of merchandise may advance. An analysis of 76 basic raw materials shows that 48 are higher now than a year ago; 4 are lower; four show no change. Especially with a car shortage in sight, retailers may be assured that the tendency of prices of commodities will be up- ward during the next few months. This would point to the wisdom of laying in sufficient stocks for a brisk trade during the winter and for a tiding over of the higher prices looked for during the next few months. After the timidity exhibited by business since the post war defla- tion, a heavy buying of merchan- dise to guard against an advance in price may seem strange, but it is one of the harbingers of the re- turn of sound economic condi- tions. Sob Dae The unspeakable Turk remains unspeakable, but he insists upon being listened to by the civilized countries that have been disposed to accept the apparent incapacity of the Moslem for actual weak- ness. With the successful en- counter which has brought vic- tory and joy to the Turk, Europe is at last startled into realization of the foolhardy course that has been taken and to wonder what to do about it. If only the United States had accepted that pleas- ant post of the Armenian guar- dian angel which was offered us, how much more simple things would be for England and for France. Was it luck or vision that kept us out of the frying pan into which we were invited to jump. ---- Little comfort is found for those who are concerned for the state of their coal bins when win- ter comes by the success of scientists in measuring the heat WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 it profit him that the average of the three is 10,000 degrees cente- grade?

RADIO TO FIGHT FIRE, PREDICTS HOFSTETTER Evanston Chief Sees New Methods at Convention Fire fighting equipment on exhibi- tion at the recent convention of the International Association of Fire Chiefs at San Francisco shows littl change over that of last year, accord- ing to Fire Marshal Albert N. Hof- stetter who has just returned from the gathering. Equipment has been so highly perfected and standardized within the last few years that radio and airplanes are about the only radical departures left in the direction of improving fire apparatus for the immediate future, thinks Chief Hof- stetter. "Radio in fire prevention is sure to come," he says. "It is being worked on now, but none of the plans were made public at the convention. It is likely that soon it will be possible to place a fire signal box at any loca- tion, which will send in alarms by wireless, The convenience of this and the saving in wires and excava- tions sch as are now necessary can hardly be estimated." The Gamewell company, which in- stalled the fire alarm system used in Evanston, had some interesting ex- hibits of non-interfering alarm boxes. Improvements have been made in the hook and ladder equipment, Chief Hofstetter says. There were 650 chiefs in attendance at the San Francisco convention. Among the number were the heads of the fire departments at Tokio, Japan; Shanghai, China; Panama City and Paris. The visitors were royally en- tertained at San Francisco and were treated to some remarkable exhibi- tions of skill in demonstrations by the fire department of that city, Chief Hofstetter says. The next conven- tion of the association is scheduled for Richmond, Virginia. J. R.
