SCHWAB LOOKS FOR TEN YEARS OF PROSPERITY Golden Era Is on Way to U. S., Steel Executive Tells Publishers. By United Prett NEW YORK. April 24.—Ten golden years of prosperity were predicted by Charles M. Schwab, chairman of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, at the annual dinner Thursday night of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association. “The next ten years will see the rehabilitation and improvement of properties,” he told more than 500 publishers from all parts of the United States and Canada. “Electrification will receive new impetus. "Prices will become better stabilized. “Home industries will gain. “The automobile will reach new high levels. “Advertising will make increased strides.” Schwab indirectly defended _ his bonus plan, which added $1,625,753 in one year to the $12,000 annual salary of Eugene G. Grace, president, when he declared that millions of dollars in gain or loss depended upon the decision of the top executive. . , “If you are going to get good management you have got to pay for it,” he declared. Schwab declared that one way ot returning prosperity was by maintaining a high wage scale. He pointed out that may firms maintained high wage standards even though obliged to adopt parttime operation. He asserted that he is a believer in the carefully planned merger, but suggested that the principal disadvantage of the merger is its tendency to curtail operation. He added that modern industry had lost something of the energy and force of personal ownership possessed by enterprises of a generation ago.

By United Press LONDON, April 24. Smokers among members of the British Parliament will, in future, be forced to buy their own matches. As part of the great governmental economy wave the office of works issued an order that when the present stock of matches supplied to the house of commons is exhausted no further supplies will be provided.

Substituting an “a” for an “i,” Mrs. Crawford, who lives at 935 Broadway, was forced into second place. Prior to this, seventy-three other contestants, of all ages, had gone down on such conundrums as “pertinent,” “vacillate,” “orifice,” “appoplectic,” “manumit” and “exchequer,” while the expert from Morgan county slipped past them all with perfect ease. Female contestants proved superior to the men. Third place went to Mrs. Alice Davis, 69, Graylynn hotel, and fourth to Mrs. Catherine Holland, 41, of 2412 North Alabama street.
