10, THE POOR STATUES.

Twenty-Five years ago a man
would be observed driving with his
family through a city park. AS he
came 10 a statue he spoke authora-
lively TO Dobbin. Whoa" says he,
in manly voice and Dobbin whoad.
The man, for it is still he. gave the
statue a critical orbing and then
pointed out 10 his family the beau
ties which had escaped their calIow
observation. Having thus performed
ihis simple civic duty, he spoke
again to Dobbin "Giddap." says
he. and Dobbin gidaped even as he
had whoad.
The scene changes. 1t is the pres
ent day and this mans son il driv-
ing through the park with his fam
lily all crowded on the hurricane deck
of a reckless flivver. AS a statue
hove in view, one Of the little brats
said. Daddy. who is that?" and
Daddy said, who " and the little
brat said. "That statue back there
and Daddy replied. as he stepped
on the gas. "Damfino. Never seen
it."
I present these two slices Of life
not in anger but in sorrow. II
grieves me to think of all the noble
statues standing around on one leg
or sitting about on horseback pa
tiently waiting for someone TO look
at them and getting nary a tumble,
as we say in college.
In the old days we would jog
along and gaze up at them reverent-
" and speak lovingly OF them. but
today we go chasing by in our high
powered cars shouting racously at
the poor pedestrians: Get out OF
the way" and paying not the Slight
est attention 10 the noble old scouts
who gaze down upon us with sad
sea green eyes.
Perhaps we have outgrown our
statues Maybe we do not notice
them because they are standing still.

at does not seem likely" says the
bank, chat consumption By Ameri-
can mills during the year ending
July 81, 1922, will exceed that of
1914. American agriculture has just
passed through the most serious
crisis Of the present century and
the purchasing power of the
farmer has been seriously curtailed.
Throughout the industrial COM
munity unemployment has been
widespread and long curtailed and
the purchasing power of workers
cannot return to the level of the
war years for considerable time
to come. 1t seems clear, therefore,
that domestic demand for cotton
goods will not be in excess Of what
it was before the war"
