as human being with fundamental

stricken condition of the aristocracy
was a frequent theme; one ducal
family could go to the opera only
when Sir Gorgius let them have his
box for the evening. But dukes
still had their uses. The Beresford
Midases put their boys name down
for both Eton and Harrow, deciding
to send him to whichever school had
the most 'dooks" when the time
came. Sir Gorgius inherited all the
old snobbery of the old dominant
caste. For example, he was shocked
at the innovation of ladies and gen.
tlemen riding in or on omnibuses.
BY the side of Midas as indicating
the social England of the period must
be placed Mrs Ponsonby de Tom

SUPPLY AND DEMAND AFFECT
LABOR AS WELL AS CAPITAL

The first volume in the series Of
Cambridge Economic lIandbooks. edited
By j. NJ. Keynes and published in
America by liarcourt, Brace & Co.. is
Supply and Demand" by II. d. Hen
derson. Cambridge University lecturer
In economies. Prof Keynes explains
in the introduction that the purpose of
the series IS to convey to the ordinary
reader and 10 the uninitiatcd student
some conception Of the general prin-
ciples of thought which economists now
apply to economic problems.
Prof. Henderson dcvotes more than
80 pages to the discussion of the theory
of supply and demand. What he writes
could be read with profit by every labor
leader, every member of Congress and
as well as by every one who Is at
tempting in any way to influence pub
lie opinion or to solve modern prob
lens. He begins by formulating what
he calls the three laws according to
which supply and demand affect condi-
tionS. The first Is, when. Mt the price
ruling. demand exceeds supply, the price
tends 10 rise. and that conversely. when
the supply exceeds the demand, the
price tends 10 fall. The second is that
n rise in prices tends. sooner or later,
to decrease the demand and to increase
the supply. and. conversely, a fall in
prices tends, sooner or later. to in
crease demand and to decrease supply.
And the third is that price tends to
the level at which demand is equal to
supply. All this is extremely clemen-
tary. but it IS worth while restnting II.
The author declares that these three
laws are the cornerstone of economic
theory. and h" insists that they apply
both to commodities and subject TO some
notifications to capital. lie C9ntin-
ues: ''Th"y apply hardly less 10 'scrv-
