Business Viewed by Erpert
By BRIGGS
[Forbes Magazine.


A trip to Middle Western points
and talks with all sorts and con-
ditions of people yields the follow
ing impressions and conclusions:
First-In most districts, including
even the larger cities. work is avail
able for every man who wants job.
Indeed, the almost universal COM
plant is that capable, steady work
ers cannot be had.
Second-There is a veritable hous-
ing famine in nearly every city, in
cluding such diverse centers as Chi
cago and Indianapolis, a famine as
acute as in New York City.
Third-Active preparations are
under way to launch what promises
to prove an unprecedented building
boom, the conclusion having been
reached by architects, builders and
others that the cost of materials is
not likely to drop drastically in the
near future.
Fourth-Retail business Is report
ed as quite active, although most
manufacturers find that buyers are
holding off wherever possible.
Fifth--the country's supply of
food animals is the largest in it's
history and farmers are waxing rich
from the unparalleled prices they
are receiving for hogs and cattle, as
well as for their wheat and other
grains. Everywhere the agricultural
community are evidencing signs of
their great prosperity.
SiXth--Whatever fears may have
been felt concerning the danger of
widespread appearance of Boil
shevism, 1. W. w. ism and suchlike
revolutionary developments, have
subsided. The general theory is
that there will be no extensive un-
employment and that this will de-
prive agitators of effective ammu-
milton.

Still Faithful to Studrts?
1.-THE Living Age. ]

There was once to be found, in
Britain, little group of romantic
sentimentalists who remained faith
full to the Stuart line. and celebrated
on January 80 kind of Jacobite
feast day. The writer remembers
seeing postage stamps bearing the
likeness of the "pretender," who
happened to be a Princess of Ba-
varia. These were attached to the
envelope by the side of the official
postage stamp, thus constituting a
nuisance to the authorities and q
source of annoyance to the serious
minded Victoria.
Since the death of his mother
Maria Theresa of Bavaria, a few
weeks ago, the ex-Prince Rupert OF
Bavaria is now the official Stuart
pretender to the throne of Great Bri-
tain. The Muse of history has ever
had a leaning toward irony.

men and eighteen men were dancing
in a churchyard, while Robert, a priest
was celebrating mass Robert asked
the merwmakers to stop as they
were distributing his service. They
refused.
When they wanted to stop, they
found they could not. They continu-
ed their dance for days, and the days
heightened into year. They never
grew tired, and snow and rain and
hunger did not trouble them When
the weather was unpleasant a shelter
was raised above them by an invisible
hand. Their clothing Gid not wear
