would be safer in the automobile than
in the Riverside drive apartment.
When they started the beaded bag
holding the jewelry WAS tightly clasp
ed in Mrs. Berthold's hand. AS they
approached the steep ascent on River
road, Edgewater, about a mile above
the Fort Lee ferry, Mrs. Berthold
thought she had better use both hands
to hold the baby.

hill ahead and without a word TO any
body lightened the car by $4,000
worth of jewelry and beaded bag.
The loss was discovered near Engle-
wood cliffs. At the Edgewater police
station Mr.. Berthold recovered the

to retire and enjoy life The greatest
thrill that can come to any man Is the
thrill Of successful accomplishment.
There Is no enjoyment In great
wealth." he went on. zone OF the
greatest happinesses in life Is In hay-
ing something to look forward to,
something just out Of reach, something
that you are not quite able to afford.
When q man reaches the place where
he can get any Of the worlds purchas-
able things simply by writing out a
check he has cut loose from happiness
unless he is fortunate enough to have
powerful interests of a constructive
sort quite apart from his money.
when a reasonable man Is getting
$4,000 or $4,000 a year he Is getting
the most he can possibly want to sat
isfy his needs. When he gets more he
begins to invite unhappiness, and the
more be gets the more unhappiness he
invites. One soon loses the enjoyment
OF spending money. One soon wearies
of riding about for pleasure In private
yachts and private cars"

Outlook for Prosperity.

Never before have the financial in
situations of the country held such
potential strength as they do today.
and never before have they been in
position to offer the business COM
munity such important cooperation.
The probabiIit is that important
financing will be attempted early in
the new year. as both the railroads
and the Industrial corporations bor-
rowed sparingly in 1915. There is an
immense amount Of money awaiting
investment. however. and unless the
situation should become involved fur
Their. the proba bility is that the alb
sorptive capacity of the investing COM
munity will fully equal the require
ments of borrowing corporations.
There are abundant grounds for TAX
ing hopeful view of the outlook and
for expecting very good times during
the next twelve months. The country
has not yet felt the full benefits of
the record-breaking harvests, and it is
certain that the prosperity of our for
elgn trade will continue. since this is
the only market which can provide the
foodstuffs and merchandise which Eu-
rope needs. Europe will. in all prob
ability. send back more of our securi-
ties. which. however are likely to find
ready buyers in this country, as the
railroads and industrial corporations
are doing much better business than
they have done at the opening of any
recent year. The outlook is favora bic
for good business. increased invest
ment confidence and the resumption
of a good deal of constructive work.

period of business unrest
