WHY TRADES DIE

KILLED BY CHANGE ' OF FASHIONS

SOME GO IN A NIGHT

CHIMNEY-Sweep was Bum-

court recently. He told the Judge that he was unable to earn much nowadays because central heating and the electric fire between them had all but killed his trade,

It is all part of the price of pro- greka. Now inventions, new ways of Hving, cut remoraclessly into the profits of some of the oldest- established businesses. By curious coincidence, at the moment that the unlucky sweep was telling his hard case to (no doubt), sympathetic Bench, one of the lust" remaining shoeblacks in London was explaining to a reporter why his croft was dying.

The reasons were simple and understood. The old- fashioned blacking has been placed by patent polishes, so that' shops do not need cleaning so often. Moreover, road-surfaces have been so Improved that people do not get their shoes so dirty as in the bed old days when one had to wade through a sea of mud every time It rained.

VANISHING IN A NIGHT

There is no security now for anybody. Trades that seemed in- dispensable may vanish in a night. When women began to "bob" and "shingle" their hair, the makers of hairpins were faced with run. Some of them converted their factories to other uses; the rest gavo un business-at any rate, for the time. Now that our wives and daughters are growing their hair again, there la hope of a revival.

SAVING AMERICAN MINERALS

Washington, March 3. Government ownership of soft coal folds as a stop toward federal conservation of America's mineral and of deposita was suggested to President Roosevelt by his Nation- al Resources Board.

The committee, declaring that in the time required to read its 50- page report "enough fuel would be wasted in our oil and gas fields and coal mines to keep 10,000 re- Hef families warm during the win- ter" recommended:

1. That establishment of å national coal reserve be seriously considered.

2. That axing of minimum and maximum bituminous coal prices may be needed.

3. That Congress consider estab- Ishing an agency to authorise con trol of production and capacity to halt waste of underground re- Bources.

4. That emergency provisions of NRA codes for production control be continued In some form.

"Government purchase of select- ed acreage of bituminous coal fields deserves serlous consideration as a means of controlling capacity,” the board sald. "Such a national coal reserve would be lensed as needed with payment of royalty to the United States."

The committee opposed Govern- mental action that would supplant · private initiative in other minora! fields, but said federal supervision should be established to provide "addition of safeguards and powera to enable the industry itself to act collectively, where necessary, in order to avoid the physical and social waste of destructive.com- petition."
