Grand Central station. He was
vestment trusts which shell the
alias giving investment advice.
Since 1927 oodles of water have gone over the dam and
down the wringer drainboard of bankruptcy and deflation.
We had heard nothing of Vance and have wondered wheth
er he had guessed right in 1929 or was among the army of
fortune-losers who mumble gibberish about board rooms in
brokerage houses. So naturally we were pleased to see that
be has survived and maintained his professional standing
sufficiently to qualify as contributor to a series in The .
Nation. He is probably still in the forecasting business ; for '
market forecasters learned long ago that a new crop was
born at the rate of one a minute.
That is a lengthy introduction to report that Vance
agrees substantially with what this newspaper with bold
ness declared on June 5th, that the depression was in the
v lastf stages of its precipitate decline. Vance concludes his
article:
"This period of depression is drawing to a close from nat
ural causes and will probably show Improvement before the end
of this year without any legislative aids."
So that is that, which merely proves that Vance's reas
oning may be as rotten as our intuition, or as accurate.
The next two or three months will write the answer to
.that. It lis worth mentioning however that while the latter
Eart of June saw some bad bumps and jolts in business the
ond market which is about the best , criterion braced itself
when it got close to its June 1st lows ; and that is something.
, It may be our imagination but we persist in the belief that
the stray rays of light which seem to illuminate the eastern
hilltops herald the dawn and are not the expiring rays of an
. (economic order sinking into primitive chaos.
Another quotation from this ar'icle by friend Vance,
and the whole of it is worth thoughtful persual because it
is both practical and thoroughly sound in its economic prin
ciples. This is for those who can only see that things will
"?row worse before they are better" :
"Of course, it is hard to believe today that business will
revive unless someone does 'something drastic', but is It any
harder than it was to see danger in 1923 or 19297 As a matter
of fact, there is just as much nonsense being talked today about
the Impossibility of revival as was ever talked about the impossi
bility of a panic. The natural forces which will produce that
revival aire already at work, with the mass of our population co
operating as unconsistently through their daily acts as they co
operated, unconsciously in the bringing on of the panic. Legis
lative or, other conscious efforts must be approved, when they
help along the natural forces, condemned when they seek some
- - miraculous Or unsound way out."
This is no signal for signalling full speed ahead ; but it
should help to get people from holding their engines at "full
jppeed astern".
The Statesman wrote on June 5th:,'The depression end

stick to it." v-

The quality and quantity of
food which should be prescribed is
determined by the activity of the
ailing person. If he lies quietly in
bed he does not need as much food
as when he is about and working.
Nevertheless, the bed-ridden pa
tient must have nourishment, for
fodT needs energy and heat to
aid in the patient's recovery.
For those recovering from infec
tious diseases, the diet should be
light and simple. During the
course of the fever most of the
foods given are in liquid form. As
the fever subsides and disappears,
the amount of nutrition should be
increased, but this increase should
be gradual
A liquid diet does not mean

his nose with a pudgy forefinger.

Baffled for a moment, the Commis
sioner seemed suddenly to catch a
gleam of light. Something was re
volving in his mind; what Mal
tooler had said gave him a clue and
filled him with that Intellectual ex
citement which is emotion raised to
its most dangerous power. j
But at the time I could not see
the clue, nor guess what it was that
had so moved Thatcher Colt. He
walked slowly back to the bed and
bending down close to the neck: he
stared long and thoughtfully j at
those fantastic streaks and blotches.
At last he rose and addressed
Doctor Multooler.
"You will send down both bodies
to the Morgue and have a full re

missioner requested. ; "It seems; to

excitement.
"Machines are you going to try

But Flynn was already oa the

threshold ef Lola's rococo bedroom,
where Doctor Baldwin and Detec

"If Mrs. Carewe is conscious

announced Colt grimly.
Baldwin seemed about to protest.
Then he shrugged his shoulders
helplessly.
"Yes that is all right," he
sented, and without another word
the doctor left the apartment,
shadowed as before. Note paper: in

A CALL FOR HELP

every Housewife to oegin NOW t?
"put up" all possible ot fruits,
vegetables, fish in season, meats,
and whatever may be valuable tor
foods. Berries, cherries, peaches,
apricots, pears, prunes, peas,
beans, tomatoes, beets, corn, cab
bage, and all other fruits and veg
etables that may be canned, pre
served, dried, pickled, brtned4
like kraut and processed in oth
er ways, should be salvaged for
the sure needs of the approaching
winter. j
If every housewife? who can put
op even a little food, will put up
a dosen or so extra jars, la addi
tion to family needs,lt will mean
a tremendous total. There are
many who can put up hundreds
ot extras, some even thousands,
and be the better for their

a handkerchief, "that you can and

most certain that the deaths of
these two women and the threats,

justice, but for your own safety,
you can steel yourself and help ma
by answering my questions the
more we know, the better able we

After a moment Mrs. Carewe
whispered that she was ready.
"The foil name of Lola's friend."
"Christine Margaret Quires."

First, it will broaden the needed
market for the producer. Second,
it will afford additional employ

it will save from potential 'waste
much food for winter need.
When America entered the
great war, practically unprepared
the womanhood of our country
arose as a unit in tremendous sac
rifice, and the millions of sweat
ers, socks and other needed ar
ticles knitted often by hands un
trained tor the work supplied
that extra "punch" that enabled
Uncle Sari to play such important
part in winning the victory. '
The crisis we now face Is even
more serious. The glamor, the
hysteria, the hatred, the atroci
ties of war all the dramatics
are lacking, but millions of unem

laid aside for winter. Hungry men
are always a menace to orderly
government. A revolution means
civil war war all around us -

each determine to contribute1 a
worthy "bit- Then the winter
may draw us closer together and
cement a broader and deeper
friendship and brotherhood.
