"QUOTA MAD"
A famous advertising agent was
talking with me about business in
these United States.
It is his function to prepare the
advertising for several large manu
facturers, and to consult with them
on their sales problems. He goes
home every night all tired out He
says he doesn't know anybody in
business who is getting any real fun
out of it.
"I'll give you my program for a
typical day," he said. "I come down
to my ofiice a little before nine, and
there- is the sales manager of a
shoe company waiting for me. His
pockets are full of charts. His com
pany's sales are 20 percent ahead of
last year, but is he satisfied? Not
for a minute. He must set the mark
for next year 50 per cent ahead.
"Then I go over to the office of a
food manufacturer. He has just
closed the best year of his history.
And we try to figure out how he
can do twice as much again!
"I lunch with the officers of a
cement company. If they would
get together with their competitors,
and agree to curtail production just
a little, they could all make more
money. The price of their product
might have to be raised a trifle, but
I doubt it, because the sales expense
would be that much less. But will
they curtail? Never. Every year
must show bigger figures. The
quotas must go up and up.
"The trouble with this country is
that we have gone crazy on the sub
ject of volume. We are quota mad."
As he talked I recalled a conver
sation I had some years ago with an
American who represents a French
manufacturer in this country.
"I have a heart-breaking time
with that Frenchman," he said.
"Every year I go over there and
plead with him to double his fac
tory. We could sell twice as much
of his stuff if he would only turn
it out. And db you know what he
says? He just waves his hands in
French fashion and sputters: 'Why
should I double my plant and work
twice as hard? I and my family
are making money enough. We
have a good time. We enjoy our
lives. Why should we work our
selves to death?"
That seems to us Americans a
very terrible utterance. It is trea
son to the spirit of modern busi
ness. Of course, a man should force
his production, and his sales, and
force his own poor mind and body
until he dies at the age of sixty
with an order blank in his hand.
Somewhere between the French
attitude and our attitude there
must be a half-way point that
would combine the best elements of
both.
"Life," says the Bible, "is more
than bread, and the spirit than' rai
ment." It also asks the question,
"What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his
own life?"
Or, in modern language, what's
the use of killing yourself by be
ing quota mad?
ing upon public works to relieve a
sudden stress of unemployment it
takes so much time to plan them
and provide for financing them that
by the time the work is ready to
begin the period of unemployment
may be almost over.
SUGAR
The announcement by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the Feder
al sugar cane experiment station at
Canal Point, Florida, has developed
a cane which yields a third more
sugar to the acre than any prev
iously known variety, and is at the
same time resistant to cane dis
eases, is of importance to everyone
in the United States. We consume
several times as much sugar as any
other nation in the world. Our su
gar producers have had difficulty in
competing with foreign sources. The
sugar industry in Louisiana was
practically wiped out a' few years
ago, by plant diseases; the Missi
ssippi flood of 1928 almost finished
the job. But the introduction of a
new type of sugar cane from Java,
known as "P. O. J. 213," has reju
venated the Louisiana sugar indus
try, which is now producing five
times as much sugar as in 1926.
The new can developed in Flor'da,
called "C. P. 807" yields a ton more
sugar to the acre of cane than does
"P. O. J. 213." That should mean,
eventually, both a reduction in cost
of sugar to the consumer and bet
ter profits to the grower.
FRAUD
A Florida man shipped a carload
of oranges to a produce dealer in
Virginia. The dealer sent the ship
per a check for $250. The Florida
man invoked the recently-enacted
Federal Produce Agency law and
haled the dealer into the Federal
court The proceedings disclosed
the fact that the net proceeds of
the sale of the oranges was nearer
$700 than $250. The court ordered
the dealer to pay the shipper an
additional $463, with interest, and
to pay it before November 4 or go
to jail.
It looks as if there is at last a
way in which shippers of farm pro
ducts can get the money due them.
State and local laws don't protect
them; they operate in favor of the
local dealer and against the ship
per from another state. The Fed
eral courts are not subject to local
influences, and the new law seems
to have teeth in it
EDUCATION
We spend more money for educa
tion than for anything else, but
there are still hundreds of thou
sands, if not millions, of American
grown-ups who have never learned
to read or write. The death the
other day of Thomas Young, whose
occupation was that of "public writ
er," in a good-sized town close to
New York city, revealed the fact
that hundreds of persons in White
Plains who could not write were In
the habit of going to him to write
their letters for them.
In New York state alone, by the
census of 1920, there were 425,000
persons over 10 years old who could
neither read nor write, and all but
10,000 of those were over 21. Nor
were they all foreigners; more than
30,000 were native-born whites. The
number is probably smaller now;
(he 1930 census figures on illiteracy
are not yet available. But there were
more than three million white folks
over ten years old, and nearly two
million negroes, who could not read
in any language, in 1920, and the
probability is that there are still
three or four million illiterate citi-

LEMON JELLY
Two tablespoons granulated gela
tine, one-half cup cold water, two
to two and one-half cups boiling
water, one cup sugar, one-half nup
lemon juice, rind one lemon. Soak
gelatine twenty minutes in cold
water, then dissolve in boiling wa
ter. Add sugar, the lemon juice and
rind; strain into a mold and chill.
Beating the lemon jelly while It is
jelly-like with a Dover egg beater
will make it white and fluffy. Or
ange, raspberry or other fruit jelly
may be made in the same way, us

with lemon juice to taste.

BUILDING
Building operations in the United
States go by fits and Btarts. One
year there will be a building boom,
the next year a depression. One
reason is the difficulty of financing
the spread between first mortgage
money and the building owner's
capital.
Some Chicago builders have a
plan whereby the people concerned
" in the building industry do this
financing themselves. Contractors,
supply manufacturers, dealers in
building materials, architects, and
labor are to take a part of their pay
in junior mortgage certificates, to
be paid off in instalments. This plan
will not reduce wages or profits, but
generally adopted will make build
ing operations Independent of gen
eral financial conditions.
BOULDER
Things are moving in the Hoover
Dam project at Boulder canyon on
the Colorado river. Power lines are
about to be run to the site, ,to fur
nish energy for handling of the im
mense masses of stone and concrete
which will be required to build the
dam. Engineers are being appoint
ed, plans have been made for the
town to house the ten thousand
workmen who will be employed on
the job, bids have been asked for
some of the materials which will be
first required.
It takes time to carry out a great
project like this. Five and one half
years is the lowest estimate from
the day construction begins until
the great dam is finished. It takes
a lot of time to prepare to begin
work.
Thnt is the difficulty about rely-
