A pair of deep set blue eyes snapped

Mrs. Bush is an attractive young
woman of medium height. Her skin is
fair, her hair is dark and last night
it was smoothly combed back from her
face. One could easily vizualize her
in the luxurious trappings to which her
position in exclusive Wilmington social
circles entities her, but at the table
there with her children around her. she
was simply all mother and all wife.
at is not true that Mr.. Bush will
not retain counsel. as was stated in
some of the newspapers" Mrs. Bush
continued. II can definitely say William
Hills will serve as his lawyer.
II can only look upon my husband
as Il man who tried to do the right
thing the moment he discovered there
would be any chance of his not being
able to make restitution. lie told Of
his deed while there was a way for him
to make good practically with his own

Business men are justified In feel
ing confident that the money stu.
alton In the United States In 1921
will be very different matter from
what Il has been during 1920. Ger,
tain specific factors are clearly -rec-
Iognizable as the chief adverse forces
affecting bank credit during the past
year. and there Is every reason for be.
IlieyiEg they will not be 30 powerful
ly operative In the year to ome. These
facts sprang irresistibly from abnor-
nal circumstances in our national
life which are passing away, But at
times their influence Gin impairlng
the efficiency OF our credit machinery
was so-great as to cause serious an
xiety. With the force OF these In
fluenees modified. banking may er-
pect TO serve the needs OF legitimate
business with a less degree OF credit
strain than prevailed in 1920.
A brief retrospect will make clear
Just what happened to our credit re-
sources and perhaps serve as a guiae
for business In the year that lies
ahead. II is sometimes as import
ant TO know what we will not have
to contend with, and may with rea-
sonable safety eliminate from our
plans. as II is TO know what we must
prepare to meet.
Business entered the opening weeks
OF 1920 with tremendous momentum
acquired in The rapid expansion that
II had experienced in 1919. The In
itial causes OF that era. which might
truly be called one OF violent busi-
ness activity. were the great short
ages In goods OF virtually all class
es and the impalrments OF produc-
tive forces growing out OF the war,
This condition was aggravated by un-
bridled public buying resulting from
profitable business. high wages and
an excess OF work over available la
Dor. bringing about an attitude OF
improvidence toward the future and
a tendency to spend rather than to
save. There ensued q course OF rap
idly rising prices. which were pro-
ductive OF active speculation. This
speculation prevailed not only in Sc
but also In commodities and
real estate; and II even invaded the
conduct OF ordinary mercantile bus
mess.
High prices, the volume of busi-
ness and speculation resulted In an
expansion OF bank credit. which in
turn stimulated the upward tenden-
cies In prices. business and specula-
tion. These aspects OF the situation
continued to exert a stimulating ef-
feet on each other during the per-
iod OF rising activity. Two circum-
stances made possible the unprece-
dented expansion OF credit which re-
suited from this movement. One
was the greatly Increased stocks OF
gold accumulated In the United States
from Eur0pe's payments for war pur-
chasos here, affcrdlng a greater me-
tallic base for credit than ever be-

Coincident with the Increase in the

oped a serious defect in the quality
OF credit during this period OF busi-

liquidity OF credit became seriously
impaired. This resulted partly from
conditions set in motion by war n.
nancing and partly from the way
business was conducted.
Under these general causes there
were four mnin specific reasons for
this impairment In the quality OF our
credit. The first was the volume OF

character was not self-liquidating and
which continued TO burden our bank

and, In fact. a considerable volume |
was reinjected into bank credit as the |
basis for new loans to business inter

to continue to carry them without
