THE REFEREE
Albert Applet


wall Streeb
A stock market, slump generally
means that business conditions VIII
stagnate about six months later.
The market anticipates the industrial
| situation, rising in advance of booms
and slipping ahead of a period of de-
! preston.
This year, however, the stock
| market cannot be depended on AS
much as usual in doping the BUSH
nes.i outlook, because the drop in
the market has been to considerable
| extent due to loss of public conf
denco in Wall street.
In less than two years more bthan
100 brokerage firms have failed,
| About 100 of them were not asso
| ciated with m stock exchange, bit
thei. failure nevertheless has caused
| to withdraw from the market a con
siderable fraction of the plungers
whose operations the market
to rise or fall.
The stock market having lost part
of it's reliability as a weather vane
of general business conditions, YOU
turn to the next weather vane-
, movement of freight by the rail-
roads.
For three weeks in June latest re-
| ported, the roads hauled over a mil
lion cars of freight a week. It's a
record, for this time of year, never
before equaled.
1t seems logical that business is
not ordering the stuff moved by
freight unless 1t Is reasonably sure
winter outlook is good. Spring BUSH
ness, like spring weather, is too Tar
away to predict.
Rents
Apartment houses. comparatively
owned by their tenants, within a few
years will replace private houses IN
large cities. This is the belief of p.
A. McDougall, New York expert, ad-
dressing real estate men.
1t would be a logical and sensible
development. Later the airplane Will
break up the big cities. Men will
live 100 or more miles out of town
and fly to and from work. Keep all
eye on country real estate If buying
for your heirs several generations
ahead.
Iodine
The white races supremacy is due
to the fact that ages ago 1t took up
it's abode by the sea, where 1t o.
tanned food rich in iodine, says DR..
Grant Mitchell.
Iodine assists the thyroid gland,
which plays a big part n regulating
| mentality and physical Vigor.
The bodily power N alertness OF
the Japanese are materially u to
their large consumption of seafo ID
On the other hand, the Eskimos,
who live largely on seafood. are
| virtually disease proof, but as a race
they are intellectual weaklings.
STUPID
Medical profession is developing
no end of queer theories. DIR. Iuclus
| NJ. Bush of New York says many a
Lerson is blamed for being dull n
stupid when the trouble is to d.
found in%irritation and obstruction
of the nose.
Gwen insanity is caused at times
by nasal pressure. Every one knows
the effect a cold or nasal conges-
ton can produce on concentrated
thought"
on the other hand, there are
plenty of mental scientists who will
| claim that the dull and stupid"
thought causes the nose trouble-on
the theory that we create as we
| think and that our bodies like their
| free-will actions reflect our think
ing.
Tonic
Nine times as many manufactur-
ers of hair tonic and other BARRIERS
| allied supplies as there were before
prohibition, discovers Frederick A.
Ha7eltine. prohibition sleuth in the
| Philadelphia district. He basis the
| figure on the situation in Philadel-
phia.
Here's a chance ror the joke writ
ers to say something about fur lined
stomachs, or about N of the sur
viving drinkers having had a close
shave. Boy, page Tom Sims.
