The Basic Business Conditions

The subject that is of greatest general importance
and interest at the present time that of business pros
poets and conditions. Nearly all and most
understand that the basic business conditions arc na-
onal and not local. In other words, whether have
good times Pueblo depends only upon the condi
lions in Pueblo, but also upon the conditions in New
York and Washington The conditions in Pueblo may,
indeed, modify the general conditions, they may de-
increase the average level of prosperity for
the United States but the foundation of the prosperity
of this city, like that of every American city, is the
tional prosperity.

supcrsutions have cntwincd them

Swedes today realize that the contrary
is far more likely to be true.
Practically universal. however. is
the superstition that breaking "a mir

here we have folktalc founded on
fact. for there was once a time when
the shnttcrinE of a mirror truly meant
