on things can be obtained from

ple whose confidential views are not
acquired for political effect. The
wisest ones hereabouts generally
have the following carefully meas

The outlook for some months
ahead Is Impressively good, but . .
It contains too many elements of
artificiality and Instability to war
rant the definite conclusion that
what we have now Is a natural re
covery of the self-sustaining cumu
lative variety.
In balancing up the prospects of
the many obvious things that might
happen, the odds now seem to favor
expanding business, backed wltn
more than ample credit facilities,
which will become an Increasingly
active factor as the process goes on.
The broad direction of this move
ment Is toward a highly expansion
ary plane, with prices tending up
ward, but only moderately upward
for a considerable period of time yet.-
Just how far these processes will
go toward anything that might le
gitimately be called inflation, or
what kind of Inflation may eventu
ate, cannot now be told with any
reasonable degree of certainty.
It ! like the snowball which is
moving and Is also being pushed.
The ball has week spots snd may
change direction. But the direction
in which It U now going Indicates
it will continue to enlarge Itself
moderately for some months yet. It
Is headed for a big drift of credit,
which may swell It tremendously
some time In the not. near future.

He said this conferred on the sec

ability of anyone to determine."
At the White House, the president
planned to confer tonight with Vice
President Garner, Secretary Morgen

house democratic leaders on the Im
portant question of revenue. Whether
a tax bill 'might go beyond the farm
program to embrace the bonus was
unknown on Capitol hill.
The house adopted the conference
agreement on the farm bill by a voice
vote after a few technical points were
discussed.
The new deal measure to replace

I went a good horse under me.

Girls Say Dress Budget
Not for Town This Size
"It might bo done In a city, but
certainly not In a town this size.
seems to be the concensus among
local girls regarding tho statement of
a New York association that a work
Ing girl could dress on $1.50 a week
published In Monday's issue of tne
Mall Tribune,
The article, which gave a budget,
has aroused a small tempest of criti
cism among Medford representatives
of the "working girl," who consider
the budget more or less of an maul
to the status of working women aud
girls, to Judge from their comments.
Efn considering the fact that the
published budget waa no doubt
meant for gl'li of a lower wags range
than Is usuallT found In a small town
or city, those questioned here seem
ed to feel that no girl ahould be ex
pected to dress "decently and health
fully" on $77.75 per year, which Is
what the budget allowed.
Bald Mlsa Jacquolse Ktrtley, of
Lawrence's: "Why, It's ridiculous! It
would be im possible to dress on that
especially In a small town. A $5 coat
would probably go to plrres In the
first rain."
Mlsa Lucille Barrett, of Swem's,
thought It might possibly be done n
city, but not here. "A girl must
keep up a certain appears nc for
moat Jobs, and things at those prices
not only would not wear but would
almoat certainly detract Irom appear-anca,"
