Furthermore, he believes there are many in- fluences that will prevent a violent adjustment. For one thing, the public itself has the power to control prices thraugh increasing or diminishing demand. That power is now being exerted, for the public has reached its spending limit and is applying the brakes in a sensible manner.” A big railroad man says: “In many respects it may be truthfully said that we emerged from a cloud of uncertainty, although many serious prob- lems still remain unsolved. It seems to me that we are justified” in viewing the future with a con- siderable degree of optimism.” The president of the Mercantile Trust of 'St. Louis says: “The economic conditions of the “United States are sound to the core.” The Mechanics and Metals National bank says extravagance, not saving, causes unemployment.s “Saving will merely prevent undue expansion of the less essential industries, and the excess saving will be available for investment”—for railroads, for rehabilitating Europe, for building up vital industries. Otto Kahn urges team-work as the essential for keeping the affairs of the country sound and pros- perous. “If business pulls one way, labor an- other, farmers a third and politics a fourth, the result is- much waste motion and lost effort and ‘an impairment of ‘our national effectiveness.” In this last quotatmn lies the solution for such difficulties as still beset the nation. If business, Iabor, agriculture and politics will but pull together for a while, no one need be concerned for the pros- perity and comfort of the country. “\I'-—. —0 o 5 to the other in . order, to tell some,, other fellow that he has been nnmmated for the presidency, a fact he already knows, when they wouldn’t cross the street to hear a 'good. sermon and learn some-. thing they don’t know.

The latest decree-of that delectable regime for the regulation of the sexes is said to be that every woman of child-bearing age shall be required to marry at once, the soviets providing her with a huspand if she cannot find one for herself.. If after four years of married Jife she is still childless, she must get a divorce and marry another, and so on. Thus between the ages of 18 and 45 she might have as many as seven different husbands.
