Banjcer's View 6riBusiness Conditions t4t,if few months readjustment will be cora.plete and business activity will be on the upward tirehtt again," says James B. Forgan, chairman of theJSoard of the First National Bank of Chicago. hetTribujie of that city believes that jnnumer;aSle,: factors substantiate his prediction, and ad'"SithVollowing proof: 4lB$siness activity and general prosperity are epfendent upon and coincident with universal employment and steady production. When all

6ut people are employed there is a demand for commodities which assures profits and stability for producers. There is enough work crying to be done in the United States to assure general

Employment when it is apportioned and undertaken, rtf , , . . ., . , , . f j fi "Hundreds of thousands 'of homes are needed. To fill this need the work of millions of people required. Lumber men, steel workers, brickmakers, 'cement mills, quarry men, stone cutters, metal workers, and others are needed to produce building 1 materials. Carpenters, bricklayers, stone masons, structural , steel workers, electricians, plumbers, sheet metal workers, roofers, ' painters, and others are required to put up the

buildings. Furniture manufacturers and all the ; trades employed in producing house furnishings are needed to make the homes habitable. "Hundreds of thousands of men are needed "for othejr lines of labor,- Good roads are urgently deeded throughout the coimtrif. ;; Materials and Imachmery for road building can occupy the time 'omany. . Men to build the roads can be employed fin great numbers. Waterway development calls for the labor of others. There is still .much to be done in rehabilitation of the railroads.' All these things are urgently needed. It is all constructive, productive labor. "The task before the country is one of financing Ihese jobs and putting the men into them. I is absurd to believe that this-will not be done lyentuaDy when ' the need is so great. Mr. Forgan did not analyze the situation in this way, bul-his statement that 'in: a few months readjustment will be complete' ; rriay be so interpreted. Readjustment is nothing more than the removal of men from unessential occupations and

putting them in essential ones. Changes in prices, profits, wages, and working conditions are unfortunately necessary details."

- . Practical Education An important conference on education is to be held at Chicago next week; important not be

cause plans of school organization and methods of instruction areto be discussed, but because education is to be considered from the standpoint of the public welfare and, as the prospectus states, "from the standpoint of the citizens who own, support, and use the schools." . The conference is one of twelve regional meetings and will be attended by representative men from Illinois, Indiana, . Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Among the topics scheduled on the program are the following: "The relation of education to the success of

the business man; the relation of education to the improvement of agriculture; the more vital needs of city schools in the states of the conference group; the city's interest in the education of people in rural communities ; what chambers

of commerce and other civic bodies may do to promote education and to assist in securing better support for schools ; the relation of education to agricultural progress and production; the problem of larger state aid for education, and the reason for it, with special application to the states included in the conference; the newer demands upon colleges and universities, and the need for larger appropriations; the particular needs of the private denominational and endowed institutions; the relation of education to industry and commerce in the creation of wealth ; the economic factor in making teachers; and the

need of higher standards in the preparation of teachers for elementary schools." The educational system of the United States has been severely criticized for many years by the public because it believed that the youth was not receiving the schooling to fit it for its place in the commonwealth. The public felt that the schools were not adapted to local needs and that courses were taught which did not adequately train the boy and girl to meet conditions in their own community. The proposed conference seeks information to remedy this evil. At first glance, it seems as if the information obtained from the regional conferences would supply the educators with just

the material they have been seeking-, and that a re-adjustment of courses to supply practical education to the boys and girls of the present generation will inevitably follow.

Answers to Questions

Boy To settle a little argument, please tell me if the leopard is an animal -without a species? The leopard was believed by the ancient to be a mongrel of the male panther, or "pard," as it was called by Elizabethan writers, and a lioness; hence the double name "leo" (lion) and "pard" (panther). The belief was held as late as the middle of the Seventeenth century, as is evidenced in a work of Thomas Fuller, "A Pisgah Sight of Palestine." in which he says: Leopards and mules are properly no creatures." The leopard, however, has Ions been known as Felis pardus. one of the larger Felidae, now generally supposed to be identical with panther. Reader When were England and

Ireland settled, and by whom? It is not known when or by whom the British Isles were originally settled. Probably the islands were Invaded by a number of races. The earliest authentic knowledge we have on this subject is traced in the Bronze Age. when Celtic invasions were made one

by the Goidels and later by the. Belgae. The name English comes from an invasion, in the First century of the Christian era, of the Angli, or Angles, a German tribe. Ireland is named from the Irish peoples, whose name is traced to the Swedish Irrois, and to other Norse words. Reader may obtain annwer to qnentloaa hgr writing- the Palladium Questions and Answers department. All questions should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will be siren briefly.

Members voting in favor of the postponement were E. U. Graff, Indianapolis; Charles O. Williams, Richmond; Mrs. E. E. Olcott, North Vernon, and A. M. Hal!, Indianapolis.

The sanitary inspector knocked sharply at the door and it soon opened. "How many people live here?" he began.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

This much about the future they positively know; that the rate of one-a-minute will continue to be the vital statistics in the year 2,000 as today.

The Thanksgiving celebration in Richmond was filled with much cheer. There were services in many local churches, including the evangelistic meetings at the East Main Street Friends' church. It was estimated that there were about 2,500 turkeys served at dinners in Richmond and vicinity. It was planned to ask Friends living

in all parts of the United States, Canada. England and Ireland for contribu

tions toward erecting the Allen Jay Memorial church, opposite the old Jay

homestead. About $50,000 would be needed to erect the buildings, according to the plans proposed by the late

Mr. Jay. It was thought that about $15,000 of this amount would be raised by Friends that attended the Richmond meetings.

Legion Band Becomes Concert Organization Members of the American Legion band of the Harry Ray post voted Wednesday night to make the body a concert band as well as street band. Commander George Hunt said Thursday that the local band had received a number of requests from legions in other cities, asking them to come and give a concert. A concert tour may be given later. Prof. J. E. Maddy, supervisor of music in the Richmond public schools, will be in charge of training the band into a good concert organization. A picture of the local legion band was published in last week's issue of the

American Legion Weekly, which has a circulation of about 500,000. The

local boys are becoming well known

throughout the country. Baskets of fruit, compliments from the Richmond Kiwanis club, were ordered sent to all local soldiers who are in hospitals or confined elsewhere because of sickness. Dues were increased from $3 to $5 per year. It is believed that the new rate is necessary to fully cover all operating expenses.

Henry Ford to Distribute Millions in Workers Bonus

(By Associated Press) DETROIT, Nov. 25. Bonus checks aggregating more than $7,000,000 for employes of the Ford Motor company are now being written and their distribution will start Jan. 1 next, according to announcement this morning by Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor company. Mr. Ford also announced a forthcoming extra three per cent for the six months ending Dec. 31 on Ford in

vestment certificates held by employes i m

of the company. This Mr. Ford said is in addition to the guaranteed six per cent. He added that 8 per cent had been paid July 31 last, making a total of 14 per cent on the certificates for 1920. Mr. Ford's statement was made," it was announced, to correct what he said was an erroneous report of testimony by S. S. Marquis, director of the Ford Educational department, before Judge Alschuler in Chicago yesterday to the effect that the recent reductions in the price of Ford ears had resulted in the bonus to employes being practically cut off. The statement that 6,000 men of the Detroit force had quit work within the last, 90 days, was correct, it was said at the executive offices of the company here, but the men had left voluntarily, and increased production of the remaining employes had made it unnecessary to replace them.
