The mere mention of the word
prosperity brings a sense of warmth

word and condition flew out the ma
TONS window when we fell to think
ing and wondering how the war, legis-
lation and other influences seemed to
ccnspire to kill business From figur-
ing retrenchment we espoused timid
ity, and from timidity sprang bust
ness stagnation."
Prosperity is returning to this cOun
try but just the reverse chain of
thought with the identical psychology
ical links, the mind again performing
the operation. The electrical indus
try viewed the nationwide business
depression and declined to switch off
peoples minds and to make pres

The electrical industry said: Lets
have an Electrical Prosperity Week
in every city and town in the United
States. You can't halt business in this
country any more than you can stop
the rush of Niagara. There's no rea-
son for depression. Let's wipe the
hard times howlers off the mapi"

HOLLE PROSS CASE
Continued from Page One. J

last There was no direct evidence
to connect Perry with the crime, and
witnesses swore that the woman had
long been addicted to the drug habit.
1t was cOntended by the defense that
the woman was drinking whiskey and
taking drugs for five days before she
died. They also contended that the
wounds on her body were self-inflicted,
that in a drunken frenzy she threw
herself over the springs of the bed
where the mattress and been partially
empted OF its contents, and otherwise
inflicted the injuries.
The defense laid great store by the
fact that several men came and went
to Perrs's room during several days
prior to the date the woman was found
in the room. Perry himself, did not
take the stand.
Witnesses swore that they heard a
Woman's yells, and they believed the
sounds were made by some one who
was drunk or drug crazed.
Friends of Perry confidently assert
that he is not guilty of the crime, that
his past life does not show any char
acteristic that might lead one to come
to the conclusion that he would inflict
injury upon anyone
The police have been unable to Sc
cure any but purely circumstantial
evidence against Perry, and the lat
ters friends assert that this evidence,
except for the fact that Perry was in
the room does not demonstrate he
killed her any more than it does any
of the other men who went to the
room
The case against Jim Harrison, also
charged with the same offense, and
who was indicted with Perry, was
nolle pressed some time ago.
