DO WE !PAY
TOO MUCH?
(By R. 3. Deacbman)
How much profit did the average
American manufacturer make per
dollar of sales from 1929 to 1946 in-
clusive—eighteen years?
Many made good profits; some lost.
To get the net results of industry as
a whole we. must subtract the losses
frown the gains and divide the total
dollar value of production into net
profits. .Now put down on the corner
of this sheet what you think would
be a fair average prdit during these
eighteen hectic years. You will get
the answer before you reach the end
of the story.
I asked twenty different people
this question. The answers ranged
all the way from one-half of one per
cent to 25 per cent. The answer
'conies ,within this range—it could
hardly go outside of it, either way.
Try Another. Guess
Here's some help for you: 1929
was a good year in the United States,
profits. averaged 6.25c per dollar of
sales.
The stock market crashed in 1929,
hard times came, hot foot. Profits
dropped to 2,25c,per..dtollar of sales
in 1930,
The average average deficit per
dollar bf sales was 1.14c in 7931;
1932 was worse, a loss of 4.6c per
dollar of sales. When we average UP
these four years,• the profit margin
becomes mighty small, less than one
per cent, not quite three-quarters of
one per cent, 13y 1336 profits were
back to 5.14c, but fell back in 1938
to 2.26c.
The war broke out in Europe in
1939, and profits of manufacturers in-
creased_ The rate rose to 5.15c in
1939; 5.81c in 19'10, and.6.19c in 7941.
The Americans entered the war 'in
1941. Did the profits rise or fall on
American entry into the war? You
may take a guess on that ton; you
won't have long to wait for your an-
awer. From a high. of 6.19c per dol-
lar of sales in '1941 the profits de-
clined to 3,21c in 1945.,
The average of the four years'from
1942 through • 1945 were 3.56c for each
dollar of sales. The figure for 1946 is
tentative, • and is partly estimated.
The final figure will not materially
change totals or averages.
Here's the Answer
During the• eighteen years profits
averaged out at 3.2c for ,,eaph dollar
of sales. - Look 'back a the figure
you scribbled on page 1. , How close
did you come 'to the right' answer?
Two ex -M.'s of P. came closest. Their
guess- was 3c- The two highest guess-
es, 17 and 25c, were made by men
who, politically, were far to the left.
More were under the 6c level than.
above it.
Now let's look at the 3.2c. In the
aggregate it's a large sum. We read,,
of huge amounts paid out in dividends
and forget that when measured
against the total..volume of produc-
tion they are very small. Do• We' pay
too, much?- It would be'• difficult to
pay less. The average is only slight-
ly more than the rate of bond inter-
est. Isthat too much? •You have
the facts: What is the' answer?. 'Or'
should.- I -'say: What was your an-
swer? Try it on your •friends, Per-
haps your friends ,may guess 'better
than mine—perhaps not.
Tired 'Toes
Unhappy feet are always a prob-
lem. Never are they more bother-
some and detrimental, however, than
when one has to concentrate. Young
people, absorbed in study, know the
distracting and distressing effect of
tired toes and generally uncomfort-
able feet. '
So, - say the medical authorities,
care of the feet is important during
study days. A little attention can
make the pedal extremities behave,
even under We stress and activity of
school programs, so that they won't
add t� the difficulties of absorbing
knowledge. Health publications are
available for free distribution, all ov'-
er Canada, on care of the feet. They
are worthwhile additions to a stud-
ent's kit.
Eye Care
The eyes should not tire sooner
than other parts of our physical ma-
chine. Doctors tell us that, during
waking 'hours, there should •not be
any undue eye discomfort. Used un-
der good lighting conditions, the eyes
should not develop strain. If they do
the eye specialist should be conhult-
ed, since there is obviously some-
thing wrong — something which re-
quires correction.
Of course, the health authorities
point out,. it is normal for us to tire,
and the eyes are not an exception.
They need rest at th.e end of a biysy
day, too.'-
Chilled Knees
During damp weather, parents
should insist on small children wear-
ing stockings which at least cover the
knees, It is quite right to dress the
youngsters in short socks when the
weather is fine and warm. That ,is
healthful. But it is not in the.child's
best interest to allow him to sit
around a class -room in. damp Weather
with chilled Begs. -
The authorities suggest that obil-
dren be made to put on rubbers, too,

Fit Faces
Many men who are young in years
are old, physically, because of bad
teeth, according to dental authorities
at Ottawa. They quote statistics
eliowing that, in the first year of the
last- World War, no fewer 'than 23
per .cent of Canada's volunteers were
Sound unfit' for service !1Rheause of
bad teeth and diseased gums.
These men rejected for service had
mouths which were old and crippled
by tooth decay and pyorrhoea, exam-
ination revealed. The dental experts
insist that twice -yearly consultation
with the family dentist is essential to
maintenance- of dental fitness.
Mending Minds
Pointing out that Canadian mental.
hospitals discharge 60 per cent of
their patients, wi4hin one year of ad-
mission, and that many patients re-
quire Only a few weeks of attention,
public health experts at Ottawa want
the people to know that illnesses of
the mind can be cured in the great
majority of ,cases.
Mental upset is as definitely an ill-
ness as any other type of ailment
and, say, the doctors, like other trou-
bles it responds best to early treat-
ment.
Defects in Childhood
Medical and public health authori-
ties are tlrigng parents to have their
children examined by the doctor be-
fore being sent to school. It is not-
ed that approximately 60 per cent of
children entering schools in Canada.
nowadays show one or more physical
defects. Many of these troubles could
be corrected easily If given proper
and early attention,
"Be sure to give your child; a chance
for success in studies and in sport,"
the pu.biie health officers' ask. "Have
the- famlly doctor examine the child,
Stow, to detect and‘ correct any minor
tro'ubl'es." .
