WHY BUSINESS
 LOOKS BETTER

(B1 International News Service.)
 Wellesley, Mass, Nov. 19-Ten req sons why the business outlook in the United States is favorable and why business men should assume a more optimistic attitude are given by Roger W. Babson, famous stat.sti- elan. Here they are:
 First, the working people in this country are in possession of the great majority of the bonds issued by the United States government during the war. This is a very favorable sign, for it shows that the great mass of people are in a sound financial condi- ton.
 Second, that as a result of the coming of national prohibition two and one-haif billion dollars pre- viously wasted in this industry yearly is now available for business projects that are more useful and norS likely to promate the welfare of all people. '"Tb ird, that in spite of the wide sprea opinion to the contrary, the Federal Reserve Banking System has been an important factor in stabiliz- ing financial conditions in this coun- try.
 Fourth, that advertising is now an influential means of moulding | public opinion. This prffession has | now reached such an advanced and l scientific stage in it's developn en t 1 that it is a logical means by which | tke people of the country can be con- yinced that, contrary to their present | opinion, business is really on a firm oasis and that there is no cause for the nreSent denression-

They deserted their posts and demanded that the vessel put in to San Pedro Orders were orders to the young cap- tain and he told the crew that they must make for San Francisco.
 Like a flash the sparks of discon- tent and strife rose in a flame of mu- tiny. The men tried to take com mand. Captain Genereaux, young in years, but stern in experience, faced the mutineers.
 "I am master of this ship,' he told them. eff I decide to tack off shore that will be the course followed.
