Through the thinker and the Jonn 0 Lonsdale' Interpreter, un known altuatlona are disclosed - or puzxllng conditions explained in logi cal light. The American people are to constituted that they can meet and combat any situation once It la known and understood. It la' the unknown that comes like the thtet In the night and brings disaster. Some one has. defined prosperity a something the business men create for the politicians to take credit tor. But America's present-day prosperity can be defined aa product resulting from the business man's ability, to study and to interpret. Huge corpora tions maintain research staffs and . special bureaus to interpret the times for them. Disaster looms in the offing for any industry that goes blithely on ' Its way day after day without due re gard to significant trends In trade and business. Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered that they cannot remain passive In an age when all the rest of the world is In a transitional stage. The modern banker not only must know about the changing styles In other lines of busi ness, but above all must be alert to the transformations which are taking place In his own. He must be a man of keener, broader vision, because the order of the day Is for larger units of service. Merger and cnnonlHnilntia Save taken pFace In" greaf numbers.

Vatican la HUtorjr -. The name Vatican Is believed to have come from an old Etruscan set tlement, Vatlcum, on the right bank of the River Tiber.
