stand such an assessment once; but
very few industries can stand such
an assessment continually. The
laborer whom o are now paying
s25 a week can buy his first car and
can assess you TO pay for it by de-
mandlng $50 per week instead OF SIS.
But can he assess o for his second
or third car; and can his children
do the same thing? Frankly, I do
not know. Only the future can tell.
The automobile industry is large
ly responsible for the condition OF
business today. The fact tina the
Babsonchart stands at one per cent
above normal compared With IT per
cent below a year ago is due largely
to the automobile industry. When
one considers that during the first
six months of 1923 most states will
show as many new registrations as
during all OF 1s22-it is remarkable
that business has not doomed more.
only answer is hat people have
bought automobiles instead OF buying
something else.-that is. the sales of
other things have fallen of CORE
s~pondingly. The Law of Action and
Reaction is absolute. Now what will
be h reaction of a new generation
which knows not the joy of walking?

SOCIETY TO DANCE

Week, Washington has fairly
danced through Lent. But that
doesn't seem to have dampened
its ardor the least little bit, for
1t Is all ready now for a fast and
furious pace for the next month,
with balls and benefit fetes Of ono
sort or another two or three deem
each night.
One enthusiastic young person
announced toyfully that there
were at least half a dozen big
dances on Easter Monday, and IL
her wind held out, she was going
to every last one Of them! Her
figures seemed a bit staggering.
but at that shouldn't wonder II
they came pretty near to being
correct.
Certainly there are three that
come to mind Immediately as
likely to be of considerable inpor-
lance. There is the annual Easter
ball Of the Women's Army and
Navy League-back this year in
Its old quarters, the sail loft at
the Navy Yard. There is the an

ball Of the Robert e. Lee Chap
ter Of the U. D. C. to be given
as usual In the Willard ballroom,
on which 1t has for years had first

League, during the period of the
world war. when it was turned
out OF the Navy Yard because Of
necessary wartime regulations,
and either had to change its date
or go shopping round for some
suitable place in which to hold it's
dance. They tried the Marine
Barracks. and one of the other
hotels. but for several seasons
found themselves homeless. and
rather at a disadvantage.
