INDUSTRY SEEN
ON UPWARD TIDE
Roger w. Babson Speaks
At Church of Covenant
On Better Times.

Industry has reached the end Of
the general decline and improve
ment is at hand, Roger W. Babson.
statistician and business author,
predicted in a talk on the business
outlook for 1922 at the Church of
the Covenant last night.
Basing his conclusions on pc
riod of cycles through which he be-
lieves industries generally progress,
Mr.. Babson said the cycle OF thrift
is near at hand and the wheels of
industry will again be able to move
freely through loans and new build
ing operations.
Twelve cycles mark the course Of
industry and business. according to
Mr.. Babson. Conditions arc now
passing through the sixth cycle,
during which people cut down liv-
ing expenses and families double up,
prices" Mr.. Babson declared this
cycle marks the end of the down
ward march of industry.
"Of course it is wrong to treat
all industries and all sections OF
the country as a unit. The indus
tries and the sections OF the cOUu-
tTN "hlSH NSic NJ IiiSt Will - NV
first to recover. but those Indus
tries and sections which were The
last to be hit will be the last In
recover. For years to come we
may expect to see prices find new
lowSpoints in each depression, while
each high point of the periods Of
prosperity will be lower than the
one preceding. This is very i'm
portant for younger clients to keep
in mind" he concluded.
