On Seventh avenue is n small
hotel. Its patronage consists
chiefly of stage dressers-men and
women cast to play humble parts in
dressing rooms of stars. They
spread out the cosmetics, assist with
the costumes, pack and unpack and
ride in day coaches on tour.
Most of them have aspired t.
stage honors and failed and then
hid themselves away in stuffy OBJ
security. The dean of the dresse-s
is a trapeZe performer of Vaude-

and profits have not been large or even
fair. What does II all mean?
'-The record of the last twenty years
shows that while, with our present
knowledge Of business we do not seem
able wholly to prevent either depres-
sions or inhations. the line OF progress
in the volume of goods con-
surned is rising. In the long swing OF
events the dips are purely transitory
and all but negligible. They have been
important only at the moment.
''The capacity for making steel In
this country has more than doubled in
the last twenty years, which means
roughly that the capacity Of the people
to use steel has doubled. During the
same period the population has not
doubled. IT is perhaps fair TO take
steel as an index to the consumption
Of goods in general.
Some Prices Artificial.
Artificial prices, prices based on
other .han the law Of supply and de-
mand-prevent the business of the coun-
try from freely functioning.
Many Of our prices are still artificial.
Profits are too low because costs are too
high. The costs, where the natural law
has been permitted to work, have low
cred. Both transportation and coal are
artificially above the general scale or
prices and this prevents trade from
flowing as freely as the condition of the
country would warrant. There Is propa-
ganda tending toward spreading the be-
lief that profits OF wages can be main
tanned at artificial levels in certain lines
without injurng the prosperity of the
country as a whole. Employers know
otherwise. They know that continuous
profits come only from capable, honest
management.

realized by the President and his asso-
cates and they are ably endeavoring to
tighten the load. But until a large part

the producers have given her a role
