GARY DECLARES BUSINESS IS ON HIGHER PLANE Head of United States Steel Corporation Addresses Al'imni. CHANGE IN COMPETITION CHICAGO, June 17.—Business throughout the United States Is today conducted on a higher ethical plane that ever before Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of teh board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, declared in an alumni day address at Northwestern University this afternoon. Judge Gary, an alumnus of Northwestern University Law School, was one ol the hundreds of “old grads" who returned to Alma Mater and participated in the parade which preceded the luncheon at which he was the speaker. "The large majority of business men now couduct their affairs in accordance with the avowed belief that right is superior to might,” asserted Judge Gary. “They believe that morality is on a par with legality aud that the observance of both is essential to worthy achievement; that the rights of customers must always be respected; that employes are associates rather phan servants and should bo treated accordingly; that stockholders of corporations, as well as all partners, are entitled to any information immediately upon the receipt of the same by any officer or partner, so that under no circumstances can there be preferential rights or opportunities; that destructiev competition must give way to humane competition ; and that full and prompt publicity of all facts involving the public weal is demanded.’ The speaker defined “ethics” as tho science of moral duty—moral principles and quality in practice. Not many years ago, he said, the managers of some of the largest private business corporations apparently believed that if their conduct was withiu the strict and technical rules of law it was immune from public or private attack; that if no public law was violated the corporation should be permitted to secure unlimited profit and might treat indifferently its customers, employes, its competitors and even the general public. “Competition was tyrannical and destructive,” asserted Judge Gary. “The golden rule was given no thought. COMPETITION DEATH OF TRADE. “Instead of competition being the life of trade, it was the death of trade. Weaker competitors were forced out of business, often by means not only nuethieal, but severe and brutal. The graves of insolvents were strewn along the paths of industrial development and operation. “Employes were not given Just consideration. The wage rates were adjusted strictly in accord with the laws of supply and demand. The welfare it the workmen was decided almost entirely from the standpoint of utility and profit. “But,” Judge Gary declared, “It may be asserted with absolute confidence, within the last twenty years or more, there has been a decided change in the standards and conduct of business.” “Public opinion.” he continued, “has aroused and will always arouse, the consciences of men and women. We cannot sleep and eat well, and we cannot for long enjoy life in the face of opposing will of the majority, and this is true of most persons, including the vicious and depraved. We dread the condemnation of the general public, if there is reason for it. SHRINK FROM ADVERSE CRITICISM. “We object to fulsome praise, even from our best friends, but we shrink and suffer from deserved adverse criticism.” Another reason for the change in hnsinc>> ethics, he pointed out, is the fact that ethical management brings additional profits to business. “Sooner or later, it pays in dollars and cents,” fib explained succinctly. Conscientious treatment of employes, which secures their respect and confidence, will tend to Increase their loyalty and efficiency. Judge Gary said. In every particular, a contented workman, he asserted, Is far superior to one who is dissatisfied and disgruntled.

CANTON FORTS CAPTURED BY CHEN’S TROOPS Dr. Sun, President of South China Government, Fugitive on Cruiser. HONG KONG, June 17.—The principal forts of Canton, capital of the South China republic, have been captured by the troops of Gen. Chen Cbinng Ming, according to dispatches received here today. Dr. Sun Vat Sen, president of the southern government, is reported to be a fugitive aboard a cruiser. Gen. Chen Chiung Ming was until recently commander of Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s •my. He is understood to be in alliance with Gen. Wu I’el Fu, who recently drove Chang Tso Lin. the Manchurian war lord, from the terrritory of the northern China government. Wu Pel Fu wants to exterminate all rebels in China aud make it all one country again.

D’u ’ Remember Way Back B. P.? SOME OF THE LANDMARKS ARE CHANGED NOW

Bonbons Take By NORA KAY, Some time ago, in the B. P. (before prohibition) days, certain thirsty Indianapolis business men used to hang •'back in five minutes" signs on the door of their offices, slide as inconspicuously as possible through the swinging doors of a building Just off the Circle on Market street, exchange the time of day, etc., with- the white aproned tat man behind the conuter, put their feet on the brass rail and say, each to the other: “Have one on me, old man!” Today, in that same building, the brass-railed counter has been replaced by attractive showcases. Instead of a corpulent bartender the nmn are greeted by two charming young ladles who say “What do you wish ?’’ and the reply is usually: “Two pounds of your best chocolate*.” But the men who come In for candy are not the same who used to drop in for a glass of somebody's best beer, according to Mrs. Josephine Frawley, whose attractive candy shop now occjuples the room that once bore the “buffet” sign. “There has been much talk about men buying candy now in place of liquor,” Mrs. Frawley said, “hut it is my observation in the Betsy Ross candy shops at least, men are not buying any more candy than they did seven years ago, before prohibition went Into effect in Indianapolis. Men have always been our largest buyers. By largest I mean they are the ones who buy the one and twopound boxes and often even laarger ones.

Highways, By-Ways of LiP OF New York NEW YORK, June 17.—As a shining example of aldermantc intelligence and perspicuity we offer the following resolution adopted with acclaim by the city fathers of New York: “Whereas, a number of employes of the city of New York are members of the United Spanish War Veterans and Veterans of other wars, patriotic organizations devoted to the support of the Government and defense of national honor; and “Whereas, Sunday, May 28, 1922, will be memorial Sunday, a day devoted to exercises in honor of the soldier and sailor dead; now, therefore, be it “Resolved, that the heads of departments and bureaus of the city government be and are hereby directed to grant leave of absence with pay to all employes, including those on a per diem basis, who are members of the United Spanish War Veterans, and all veterans of other wars on memorial Sunday, May 28, 1922, to attend aforesaid memorial services held throughout the city of New York.” We are informed that Mayor Hylan scratched his head, and then bellowed to his secretary; “since when did city employes, except policemen and firemen, have to work on Sunday? It is an offday without need of any aldermanic resolution.” What the mayor wrote across the document sent for bis signature was this: “Inasmuch as the memorial service is to be held on Sunday, there seems to be no need for this resolution.” His honor might have added that the average aldermnn was a dumbbell, but he didn’t, for fifty-three of the sixtyfive members of the New York board of aldermen are Democrats and of tbe mayor's own political party. Some allowances should be made for the shortcomings of the aldermen, for in many portions of New York City there weil might be doubt as to what day is Sunday. Because of its almost unparalleled polyglot population, every day is Sunday to somebody in the big town. __ The Christian Saturday is the Jewish sabbath, or Sunday—the scribes enumerating thirty-nine kinds of work forbidden on the Jewish Sabbath—and while less than 100,000 Jews can be found on that day in the Hebrew synagogues, nevertheless a large portion of the 1,210,000 Jews of New York insist upon having Saturday for their Sunday, and as they also celebrate the gentile Sunday, they really get two rest days out of every seven. In addition. Saturday is Sunday to a small scattering of SeventhDay Adventists and Seventh-Day Baptists. Along Washington street and in the homes of the Syrian colony. Friday is celebrated for Sunday, Friday being the Mohammedan Sunday. Every person who professes Islam is required to pray five times in each day—at dawn or just before sunrise, Just after noon, before sunset, just after sunset and Just after the day has closed. The holy day of rest for the believers in the Koran is Friday. The Rev. 11. 1,. Bow!by, general secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, said today that for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday could be found different religious sect* that took them for their respective Sundays. Even with the rtOO.ono.OOO Christians of the world, divided about equally between the Greek church, the Roman Cnthollc and the Protestant churches. Sunday does not hit off “on the minute.” The Christian Sunday really is a forty-seven-hour affair, for, allowing for the differences in time, it starts In the Fiji Islands at 7 n. m. Saturday; Manila in the Philippines at 11 a. m. Saturday; Bombay, India, at 2 p. m. Saturday; Petrograd, Russia, at 3 p. m Saturday; The Azores, 9 p. m. Saturday ;RJo Janeiro. Brazil, 1(1 p. m. Saturday. and Cape Nome, Alaska, 6 a. m. Sunday. It is that time In those places when it is midnight Saturday in New York and Philadelphia. I wonder if the people who are always “knocking the Japs” know the little brown people are “in step” with Christians on the Sunday question. They celebrate our Sunday with a vengeance, ns was recently discovered by a New Yorker I know, who has a Japanese butler, ands >und himself supperless last Sunday week.

ARREST EIGHT MENCAPTURED IN BEATING ACT Police Seek Ku-Klux Klan Connection of Persons Arrested. CHICAGO, June 17.—Eight men who kidnaped William Ivehoe, president of the West Side Motor Company, late last night, were arrested early today in a field on the outskirts of the city while they were in the act of flogging Kehoe. The men accused Kehoe, according to the police, of an attack upon a young woman. Police are investigating to de termine if the men are members of the Ku-Klux Klan. Burglar Leaves Without Stealing Ed Sender, employed at a dry drink place owned by Lase Murphy, 2641 West Michigan street, early today interrupted a burglar who had forced an entrance to the place. As Sender entered the front door the burglar went out the rear door. The police found that the burglar had cut a panel out of the rear door, but had been frightened away before stealing anything.

Place of Booze "When they buy in amounts as large as these, however, the}’ are not buying the candy for themselves. They may get to eat some of It, but onlj’ when the girl for whom it is intended passes it around to them. That's the chief reason men are the largest candy buyers—because they buy for thextselves and for the women, too. “Very few women buy candy for themselves—either because they are not so fond of it or because they have all they | want given to them. And those who do I buy it," Mrs. Frawley observed, “euri- [ ouely enough, are governed more by the pr’oe than by the quality, and buy candy i Just because it is cheap, rather than • because it is made of the best materials. And it is impossible to make candy to sell for the price most women are willing to pay nad put in it the kind of materials women should Insist on in anything they buy for themselves or their children. But the bargain hunting spirit in them is too strong to figure these things out, I think. “But, after all, it Is the men who buy most of the candy—and who probably eat most of it, too, Just as it is the man of the house who always wants dessert with his meals. Men have a natural craving for sweet things—they always have had, regardless of prohibition —anil they are not eating any more candy now than they ever did. Candy takes the place of desaert with them in many cases—and is Just as necessary to them. And yet, in spite of that, the Government still taxes it nt a luxury.”

By TACL F. GODLEY, Amrrlrii’i Foremost Radio Authority. Dog days are poor days for radio reception. The best results are obtained during the winter months. This fact is illustrated graphically In the chart which shows the strength of signals received at Washington from Philadelphia (represented by the dotted line) and Norfolk (solid line), located respectively at distances of 110 and 110 miles. These curves were recorded over a period of approximately two years and give a fair idea of the relative strength of reception from month to month. Both of these stations were operating on a wave length of 1.000 meters. Had they used a shorter length, 360 meters for example, the variation in signal strength would have been considerably greater. MORE STATIC. Not only are the signals weaker during the summer months than during the winter, but tho amount of interference due to natural causes (static) is greatly increased. Radio cannot fully come into Its own until some means of counteracting cr

offsetting these natural effects have been devised. On the shorter wavo lengths, the rise and fall of signal strength is also very marked at sunset and BUnrise. During the night, the absorption of the electrical energies caused by the sunlight are absent aud, depending on several other factors, extremely small signal distances. This effect Is most noticeable during the winter. Even during the daytime in cold weather, particularly if it happens to be dark, signals from small stations have been received at great distances. BK'T RESULTS. The best results are recorded between 4:30 p. m. and 8:30 a. m. during the winter. Winter night time conditions are responsible for the record-breaking reception of low power stations at great distances. American amateurs spanned the Atlantic during December. British naval vessels ofT the coasts of Australia heard a low power telephone station on the Pacific coast last winter. But dog days are hot days And reception is comparatively poor.

But if you want to advance with the times, set up a radio set at the tee and listen in on instructions from an expert at a broadcasting station. A well known golf club near New York has installed a radio system at each tee. At regular hours, an instructor broadcasts his lessons to novices on the links.

That enlarges his class ninefold. Or, if a player is wanted at the clubhouse, a call is sent out for him by radio. That eliminates much footwork for messengers. In billiards, too, radio Is playing its part as means of instruction. Instead of "expert” advice from the onlookers, the new player get real help from a recognized expert by radio. The same kind of instruction is expected in other fields of sport. RADIO PROGRAM INDIANAPOLIS (HATFIELD) WOH —Dally.

MAY LOSE EYE FROM BULLET SELF-INFLICTED Thomas J. King, Sales Manager, Attempts to End His Own Life. Thomas J. King, 2046 College avenue, who hot himself through the mouth with a revolver at the South Grove Golf clubhouse late Friday afternoon, rested fairly well last night, according to officials of St. Vincent’s Hospital, where King was tatken last night. He probably will recover, but may lose the sight of the right eye. Henry C. Dlener, 1355 North Olney street, caretaker of the clubhouse, heard the shot. Going to the locker room he found King on the floor by his open locker, the revolver lying by his side. A note attached to his shirt, which was near the locker, read: “I can no longer endure these shattered nerves which torture and torment me until I think I shall lose my mind.” The note requested that certain friends, among them Arthur B. Margileth, 2332 Ashland avenue, be notified, but asked that no call be sent hla wife. King was sent to the city hospital by Sergeant Ralph Dean and the police emergency squad. At the hospital ha regained consciousness and repeated the request contained in the note that no notice be sent to his wife. Mr. Hargileth ordered King moved to St. Vincent’s Hospital and Dr. J. H. Oliver was called to tend him. According to Mr. Margileth, King had suffered a nervous breakdown and had been granted a leave of absence from his work. In King’s clothing was found an envelope addressed to Mrs. King. It was turned over to Mr. Margileth. Diener said that King had played golf In the morning, but had spent the greater part of the afternoon on the clubI house porch, apparently deep In thought.
