TO BETTER BUSINESS ]
(Continued from pjtge one) j
bout 20Q,000 adidtional workers who :
'ould otherwise be unemployed.
Total new capital issues during
930 declined approximately 25 per
ent as compared with the previous
'ear. 1* oreign issues were confined
''most entirely to the first half of the
ear and their later decline has
losely reflected rapid price recession?
tnd -attendant economic disturbances
ibroad. Furthermore, the year's de
fine in construction, amounting to
ipproximatcly 20 per cent, was an
mportant factor in the lower level
>f capital issues. The initiation of
in extensive public works program
luring the last few months has led to
i marked increase in state and mu
cipal issues during the closing
nonths of the year.
In the financial markets the past
rear has been featured by a substan
tial decline in security prices from
the relatively high levels to which
they recovered last spring. Brokers'
loans have been liquidated since the
beginning of the .year by approxim
ately 40 per cent. The Federal Re
serve member banks have diminished
their indebtedness to the Reserve
Banks by almost 80 per c?nt, as com
pared with 1929. Although the ef
fect of falling security price levels
and unliquid portfolios have led to
bank suspensions in certain localities,
the banks of the country generally are
in a strong position.
SALES OFF BUT LITTLE
Considerable encouragement is af
forded by the fact that consumer
buying has held up to rek.tively stable
levels. Sales of department and oth
er retail stores for the year have
fallen only 7 to 10 per cent below the
large volume of 1929. About half of
this decline in dollar volume is at
tributable to the lower price levels
for retail goods, so that the quantity
of good? purchased by consumers has
probably been only 4 or 5 per cent
less than in the preceding prosperous
year. Wholesale commodity prices,
particularly prices of raw materials
and agricultural products, have de
clined shnrply during the past year
and for the year as a whole averaged
about 10 per cent under the 1H29
level. Accompanying this decline the
cost of living index has fallen so that
it is now about 6 per cent below the
level of a year ago. Earlier periods
of depression, such as those of 1893
and 1921, were characterized in
their later phases by the reaccumula
tion of savings which had been ex
pended in the preceding boom period
and by the wearing out of previously
purchased goods, which caused a gen
eral buying movement on the part of
the consuming public. That we art
now approaching such a period is in
dicated by several significant facts
On the one hand savings deposit?
have been progressively accumulat
ing while business written by life in
surance companies has been main
taining a fairly even pace and haf
reached a total for the year almosl
equal to the high level of 1929 and
above the total for 1928. At the samt
time stocks of department, stores have
been sharply reduced and there arc
some evidences of recent expansion of
retail buying. While it is impossible
to forecast at what time unmistak
able evidences of improvement ir
business will occur, it is clear thai
we have reached a point where cossa
tion of further declines and begin
ning of recovery may reasonably be
expected.

Man Is of a few days and full of

liia youth to pay for a gasoline char
iot, and when at last the task is fin
ished, Lo! the thing is junk and he
needeth another. Ha plantath cotton
In the earth and tiUeth it diligently,
he and his servants and his asse3,
and when the harvest is gathered into
barns he oweth the landlord eight!
dollars and forty cents more than the
CTJJI ia worth. He borroweth money
from the lenders to buy pork and
syrup and gasoline ana the interest
eatetn up all that he hath. He begets
sons and educateth them to smoke
cigarettes and wear , a white collar,
and ZiOf they have soft hands and
neither labor in the fields nor any
where under the sun. The children oi
hii loins are ornery and one of them
becometh a lawyer and another stiek
eth Up a filling station and maketh
whoopee with the substance thereol.
The wife of his bosom necketh with a
stranger and when he rebukes her,
Lo! she shooteth him in the finale.
He goeth forth in the morning on the
road that' leadeth to the city and a
jitney smitet'n him so that his ribs
project through his epidermis. He
drinketh a drink of whoopee juice to
forget his sorrows and it burneth the
lining from his liver. All the days of
his life he findeth no parking placc
and is tormented by traffic cops from
his going forth until he cometh back.
An enemy stealeth his car; physicians
removeth his inner parts and his
teeth and his bank roll; his daughter?
showeth their legs to. strangers; his
arteries hardeneth In the evening of
life and his heart bursteth trying to
keep the pace. Sorrow and bill collec

life, and when he is gathered to his
fathers the neighbors sayeth: How
much did he leave? Lo! he hath left
it all. And his widow rejoiceth in a
new coupe and maketh eyes at a
young shiek that sticketh his hair and
playeth a nifty game of bridge. Woe

YOU MUSTN'T QUIT
When things go wrong, as they some
times will,
When the road you're trudging seems
all up hill,
When the funds are low and the
i doubts are high
And you want to smile, but have ?<
I sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must ? but just don't quit
Life is queer with its twists ant
turns,
And every one of us sometimes learn:
And many a "failure" turns about
When he might have won had hi
stuck it out; j
Don't give up, though the pace seemi
slow,
You may succeed with another blow
Often the goal is nearer than
It sems to a faint and faltering man
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the vie
tor's cup,
And he learned too late, when thi
night slipped down,
How close he was to the golder
crown.
Success is failure turned inside out?
; The silver tint to the cloud of doubt,
And you never can tell how close yoi

It may be near when it seems afar!
Sc stick to the fight when you'r<

It's when things seem worst that ?

WATCH BAD COLDS,
WARNS AUTHORITY
New York, Dec. 30. ? Co Ida take
more dollars out of the workers' pock
ets in a year than any other sickness,
said Health Commissioner Shirley W.
Wynne in a radio broadcast recently
ovist Station WEAP. They also are
responsible for a greater loss of tim*
from school and work than any o
single cause, he said, adding that
common cola is one of the mos^
midabte enemies the health
ment has to d?al with.
"Unfortunately a cold dops]
stop st (ttftliaff one day's work,
coaafrffciOMr Mid. "It often takes a
far larger toll of time, money, future
health and usefulness. A common
cold, neglected, can prepare the way
for other and more serious diseases
such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart
dUease and tuberculosis. In many
cases the person who has managed to
overcome tuberculosis and is leading
a healthy life can be so weakened by
a cold that his old disease becomes
active again.
"It is, in fact, these sequelae
coldi that cause death. Our vitJ^ '
statistics give no hint of the preva
lence and importance of the cold, be
cause there is no actual mortality as
sunt total of suffering, inconvenience,
the result of colds. But, could the
the sequalae, the economic loss result
ing from common colds be placed be
fore you, you would be appalled at
the dreadful reckoning.
"The cold is the commonest and
most widespread of the communic- .
able diseases. Despite the great ad
vance in medical knowledge, there
has been no general agreement as
to the nature of the infectious agent.
A group of research workers at Johns
Hopkins university have been engag
ed in a five year study of this univer
sal malady, summing up the findings
as follows:
"The common cold is infectious.
The agency of transmission is one of
the group of filterable viruses so
small that they cannot be seen by the
most powerful microscope.
The infected agent, the virus, is
present in the nose of every person
suffering from the cold. The common
? cold comes from contact with a per
son with this specific germ and not
i from chemical changes in the body.
"I firmly believe that 'an ounce of
? prevention is worth a pound of
cure.' The danger of the common
cold is too lightly estimated by the
public at large; hence the necessity
, of emphasizing preventive measures.
And for that reason I call your at
tention to ten brief rules:
"Eat plenty of nourishing food,, be
ing sure to include milk and leafy
vegetables in each day's diet; drink
plenty of water: bathe frequently;
- sleep full eight hours every night;
breathe through the nose; make sure
s that home, work place and school are
well ventilated; an average indoor
? temperature of 68 degrees or 70 de
grees has been found best; make sure
, the air contains moisture; dress ac
cording to the weather and avoid
. chill: avoid using others' towels in
the homes where there are colds;
? keep away from persons who have
colds; guard others against catchinjr
i cold from you if you have one; if
you contract a cold go to a doctor;
don't resort to nostrums."
