Thin has been espe cially true in the building induritry. Its influence has extended to almost every industry and every hoilsehnld. To counteract tins influence, a wide apread movement is being .started in favor of "buying now." "Why buy now? A committee- rep resenting a big chamber of commerce, which has cnrefully studied the ijues' tion, explains thus: "Normal employment cannot bo maintained without normal volume of new ordera. To get new orders you munt convert that part of the buying public which is expecting a deelinirj; nuuket. You must hIiow Hum that by waiting for lower prices, llicy will b. damaging themselves far more thn they possibly could save by lower prices, Fundamentally cononiie condilinn; are sound. There is a real nnLiunal need for the consumpljon of eommodi ties which is being held back simply by uncertainty ot the future. Any un economic or artificial dealing with the unemployment situation is superfi cial. The only economic solution for the problem of unemployment Is a re turn of a national buying movement," In other words, there is no good rea son why prices of most things should 0 down much, because commodities ore needed in such vast quantities that the buying, whenever it. .get- started, will keep prices up. The nat utal thing is to expect n resumption of the bourn times wo have hud the Inst couple of years, with the high prices along with tho high wages, leaving most people a liberal margin of saving over and above the coM of living. l!ut refusing lo buy the things needed will create an intervening po-' riotl of depression that will be wa-.lr , ful and destrta-tive. It may Imw-i' prices, indeed; but it will lowt r in conn s along with them, h aving n t advantage, even temporary. It will only make the resumption of prmptM-, it y so much harder.

The old "service flag'' showing tho number of men who went to war from any given institution is kept flying. That strvesns a peimanent record and as the groundwork of tho new plan. Then, as the men come back and resume their places, for every man returned u red circle is drawn around one of the blue tdars. The dead are shown by golden stars in the cenier. Thus anyone enn see nt n glance how many men went from that estab IMiment into their country's service, how many gave thsir lives and how many have resumed their jobs.
