DUN'S REVIEW

tomorrow VIII say In part:
With the labor situation still dis
turbing and the future holding various
elements of uncertainty, conservatism
in business remains conspicuously pres
emit though there is less hesitation
than recently. Reviving activities in
some lines which have lately been
hating, while buyers awaited price
concessions that have not been absent,
give conditions stronger appearance
and no inconsiderahie impetus to man.
ufacturing and distribution comes with
-fhe advancing season. The best fea-
ture however, is the fact that prices
of not few commodities have fallen
abruptly from previous extreme levels
and that In some quarters, at least the

Failure as a Success.

Whether man has had wealth or poverty, failure or success, counts for little when it is past. There is but one question for him to answer, to face boldly and honestly as an individual alone with his conscience and his des tiny. "How will let that poverty ol wealth affect me? If that trial or depyi- vation has left me better nobl9r, then poverty has been riches, failure has been a success"
