C., Sept. 19 —[ Administration officials here are com ing rapidly to the conclusion that the, pooling system is the only practical means of putting the indurtries of the country under forced draft to keep the[ army, navy and civil establishments' running at full speed. Pooling under government supervision has been stav- j ed off because of the goverment own-, ership bugaboo, but all such restraints are now being brushed aside to fadli- ( tate war plans. It is expected that all[ coal mined will soon be pooled and sold to the government and the public at “an average” price, the mines being ■ paid on the basis of production cost.. Stee and other metals used extensively! in the war are to be similarly handled. EDISON STILL WORKING ON SUBMARINE ANTIDOTE 1 WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 19.—1 Published reports that Edison has per- !, fected a method for defledting oorpe does are denied at the navy depart ment. Mr. Edison, at this time, is | convinced the best method is to avoid i coming into close quarters with sub-1 marines, and with this idea in view he is working on a ne wcamaflouge sys-j tern, designed to make American ships practically invisible. TIGHTENING OF RETftil ! CREDITS NOT PBOBABLE DEAD OE GREAT NEW YORK CON CERN SAYS SUI H ACTION WOULD IMPOSE UNNECESSARY HARD-- i SHIPS ON CONSUMERS. Notwithstanding the things that have been said by men in hish places about 1 the need of economy on the part of the American people as a result of this country’s entrance into the war, there could hardly be a greater handi cap on business at this time, accord ing to W. H. J. Taylor, credit man ager for Franklin Simon & Co., and President of the Retail Credit Men’s National Association, than would be imposed by the general tightening of retail -credit granting. “I see no reason for more than the usual -caution in granting credit to consumer,” said Mr. Taylor yester day, “but, as opposed to this, I see many reasons why retail credit should be made as elastic as possible. I am by no means advocating laxity in credit giving, but where it can be given I believe it hould be extended as liberally as the circumstances of the consumer warrants. “My first reason for assuming this position is that, in spite of the war, I think retail business is going to see li-Dt. r-uvit.HlvAJS riMt-S-KECORDER lone of the very best fall seasons in j ' years if not ever. There is no deny-; ing the fact increased prosperity of the American public as a whole, and ther have been indications in the last l 1 ' several months that the additional j money obtained is being spent by> those who have it. “One of the best indications I can cite of the increased prosperity of the country, as it is reflected in consum t era’ dealings with retail stores, is the 'way payments of slow accounts arej improving. Collections have never I jpeen better, which in itself proves j [that money is ‘easy.’ In June, July and : August payments were in every case; larger than in the corresponding! I ' months of 1916, and each month show- | ed a gain over the preceding one. “Not only have payments shown up ; exceedingly well, but purchases are, - >re also increasing. People of mod-! . erate means are spending more of [their money, and the wealthier classes ' are increasing their expenditures as 'well. The former is shown by the ; : steady increase in cash sales that have - marked recent months, which might J indicate that more and more women are looking to Fifth avenue as their | 'source of sppply. My belief is pros- < ■ perity is further borne out by the way < (the number of small-limit accounts 1 hr ve gained. The majority of accounts I [now call for limits of SIOO or over, < .with the proportion of increased sales t j largest on the higher limits. f j “From this it can be seen that lam j not in sympathy with what has been < said and printed about the need of do- < i ing retail business on a cash basis on 1 ' the ground that the bad debt waste, ! ’ amounting to millions of dollars year- ; ly, would be saved, and, further, that, < were charge accounts eliminated ev- 1 eryone would be forced to live within < his means. Furthermore, in answer : [to the argument that charge accounts’: tempt many people to live beyond their [i means I can say two things. The first i s that where a woman is extravagant,! :with credit she will also be extrava-, ■ gant with cash. The second is that, the general percentage of bad debt! ■ osses on the total annual business [ > done is so small as to indicate that I ■ extravagance is the exception and not ’ he rule. It is the business of th® ■ credit man to see that this is the case, •j “If the retail merchants of the couu -1 j try generally were to do business only ! on a cash basis during the war period ; • fiw of them would be able to stay in, business because of the great falling [ ‘ off in the voulme of sales that would, ’ occur. This would result in thousands [ ‘ of men and women being thrown out • of work and cause an untold amount of •[hardship. 1 j “Statistics prove that 1)5 per cent I [of all the business in the United States ! is done on credit, notwithstanding the • i fact that in retail lines the percent- • [ ages are abut 40 per cent cash and' C for credit. An interesting thing ’; nme up in relation to the latter .[figrres a’, the recent convention of 1 C’evelan ’. I mentioned them in the, ; GET IT AT WiNBSOR PMMiCY Viclrolas and MgsUSI Records With a Vic trola in your ® home you * g have at your x I command one of the world’s be& artists and greatest bands.

WINM rIIAKMALY course of an address I made, and two other speakers gave the same figures, though not one of us had had an op ortunity of seeing the data of the other tw I cite this merely to show that the 40-6 o division is apparently general. What is back of the great amount of credit business that is done in this country in. the course of a year? In the first place, there is the combined ' wealth of the nation, which is estm 'aeed to amount to about $240,000,000- OGO, and which includes all kinds of minerals, grain, live stock, railroad equipment, buildings, merchandise, &c. Secondly, not only has the United !States a sixteenth of all the land in i the world, but it has one-fourth of all the wealth of the world. In the face ! of these facts, would not the abandon , ment of selling on credit appea” didic ,ulous?” —New York Times. ■ ANOTHER REGDRD Fflß MOTORLIFE In a test made in Americus Tuesday [af’ernoon by Messrs. J. M. Weeks, R. j A Shy, H. T. Mayo and E. L. Carswell, a half gallon of ordinary gasoline was used, the car running until it stopped. Those in the party then treated a half gallon of gasoline with Motorlife and came back to town.
