New Britain have done pretty well about cleaning off their walks. Of course there will be dis- sent to any such statement in par- ticular cases, and the dissent in those cases may be thoroughly justified. Some folks may be compelled to walk to work, in front of property owned by persons who have been irritatingly slow to see to it that the required work wgs done. But as a general rule men have labored faithfully to make walking as easy as possible for those who pass their way. But it is just as well to call atten- tion to the fact authorities are trying to enforce the ordinance requiri the walks to be cleaned. People are being called court and compelled to pay the fine for dis- regard of this proper regulation, and it is not a pleasant thing to be com- pelled to do. There is a certain stig- ma attached to Bne who had been held derclict in this regard It is to be hoped ardently that there will be no more storms. But there still remains some work to be done in t matter of cleaning off the walk nd if it is done now the snow that may come will be much | more easily removed.

Toward the end of Roger Babson's veekly statement, published Satur- jay, he utters a good text based on satistics. “When greed is enthroned we are headed for depression; when service is in the saddle we are headed for prosperit This declaration comes as he )t the misunderstanding of the * * He says that while the T iple of action and reaction is sound, it is wrong to suppose that such prineiple will bring a certain period of business prosperity followed by a like period, equally as long, of husiness depression, and so on, pros- nerity and depression following each other in periods of equal length. What he does insist is that a period of inflatien will be followed by a time of depression which will make up for the inflation if its intensity and lengta are considered together. If, for in- stance, a man works three years and s cycle. saves his money it will take him three years to spend that spends it at the rate he earn however, he has an especiall o period of spending that period “deflation” will be shortened; time plus the intensity will equal the inflation period. Which came first, the egg? This question might Babson's idea of the greater difficulty mon the the chicken or chow of predicting the length and intensity of a period of inflation, or busine The bad measured flation which will follow. veriod may be accurately by the good times which have pre- ceded it, but when it is time for an- vther period of prosperity there is nothing to base surmises upon.

HARDING BETTER Washington, Jan. 22.—Inciement weather prevented President Harding irom venturing from the White House to the executive offices today after having been confined to his room for arly a week with grippe. The president was said to have do some work on important papers, but his physician, Dr. Sawyer, thought it inadvisable to take any chances. The day was chill and the atmosphere muggzy. Among the callers who went to the executive offices in futile at- tempt to see Mr. Harding were Sen- ators Lodge of Massachusetts and Watson of Indiana, two of the senate republican leaders.
