The Job Increases II The unemployed are less numer ous than they were even a month ago, and all Kijrns point to a further dc-1 crease in the ranks of the idle, pro ceeding steadily and lending to a marked improvement in the whole in dustrial situation in the sprint;. This is the (rlad assurance offered by Prune in Jones, director of the United States Employment Service, Reports on unemployment colVcteu hy the service from 65 of the princi pal industrial centers show an in crease of 4.2 per cent in January over the December figures.

Germany wants to pay us two bil lions in her own money or S3.85 in ours. Speaking and thinking of things ' that mix, we'd like to call your atten i tion to booze and gasoline us being 'two things that wont mix. When Mr. Will Hays, postmaster general, earning $12,000 per year, was offered $150,000 per year to reorgan ize the motion picture industry, hi took a month to think it over. Most of us would have decided the mutter in two seconds. merely what Great Itritain did some weeks ago. The public, however, heav es a sigh of relief. "Here," thinks tho man in the street, "is concrete ex pression of those highly technical treaty clauses. Thank Heaven we're not going to have to keep on paying for useless fortifications and battle ships The nation, collectively and individ ually, can use its building materials and its tax money more profitably in other ways. i ' Coercing Commerce Fordyco Jones, a big lCnglishflnhiT ness man, now in this country, has,jj disinterested word of advice for Am ericans. In a recent, interview he jtpoko especially of the rubber busi ness. - America leads the world, ho ud mits, in the design, cjii-ility and finish getting what ix coming to her In tl! rubber trade and in oilier lines, for this reason; 'f'Many American manufacturers and merchants seem to have been spoiled by n prosperity which was handed to them, and made the mistake of thinking that what suits the poly glot population of the United States will suit the rest of the world. . "That, unfortunately for Ameri can salesmen and for American indus tries, whoso increased productive ca pacity now needs foreign markets, is the tiling which is hurting. America has built an ocean fleet and has all Hie facilities necessary for tho build ing up of a great ocean trade, but she isn't going the right wny to get it. First she must learn that no coun try can coerce the coinmeive of the world. You must give a customer what he wants and not what you think he ought to want." It is the same old story that has 8iccn told n thousand times, told now a little more pointedly than imml, at a time when it seems mora likely to be heeded. American merchants and manufac turers had. indeed, got into the hub.'t during the war boom of trying to "coerce" even the domestic trade. Now that they are beginning to make e real effort to give the American cus tomer what he wants, they may take more easily to following the sum -process with foreiirn customers. Automobile Lights At a mreting of motor vehicle com missioners in 10 eastern states recent ly, it was agreed to work for the standardization of headlights. Th" commissioners are taking no the mut ter with the Society of Automotive Kngineers nnd the Illuminating Soc; ety of Ameiiea, to see if a system cau liot 1m found that woubl be adaptable to every type of ear. If a standard equipment is evolved, automobile manufacturers will all be urged to adopt it. This would be a highly vesirable improvement. At piesent there i.l much confusion and inof fit iency inj . headlights. It should be no difficult ' matter to solve the problem of ade-; ijuatc illuinin.-it ion without glare.
