HOOVER WARNS OF RECKLESS OPTIMISM
This Alone May Stand in Way Of
 1926 Prosperity, He Fears

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 3l LP-- The prosperity of 1925 should con- tlnue through 1926. In the opinion Of Secretary Hoover. unless reckless optimism" is permitted to outweigh ordinary caution.
 Economic prospects both for this country and the rest of the world, he believes. now arc more favorable than for a long time past. In a statement the secretary pictured Fundamental conditions as favorable but he expressed concern over others, including the possibility of extension of speculation into com- modities and the extortion by foreign government-fostere mono- polies dominating our raw material imports"
 The most encouraging factor In the outlook he declared to be "our increased productivity, due to funda- mental and continuing forces-such us the emulation of education, the advancement of science. skill and elimination of waste" Other favora- hle indications he listed were that stocks of commodities are moderate: there is. employment for practically everyone: real wages are at a high level; savings are the largest in his- tory and capital is therefore abund- ant, and the whole machinery of hrnliIIt 1nI tctr ri h,sf in,, ir ating at higher degree of efficiency than ever before.
 "the United States has produced and consumed more goods in 925 in proportion to population than ever before in it's history" he said, adding that the country's foreign trade was exceptionally satisfactory" He pre- dicted that exports for l925 would total around s4,900,000, ,00o or about per cent more than for 1924, with imports approXimating $4,200,000,- o0o. about r per cent higher.
 The secretary judged agriculture us improved over its conditions of two years ago, but still leaving farm - . " llJl hlNti utbl uIl1 lacking stability because of unsolved market problems. Also, he said. it suffers from continued distortion in price relationship of the middle west to the competing foreign countries because "our transportation casts to seaboard have had to be increased more than those of its foreign com- pctitors."
 Promise Of continuing demand for heavy construction was found in in- creased national and local public works program for 1926, and the secretary declared the textile and shoe industries as a whole also were running at high levels of production. Mir. Hoover believed prospects were favorable also for the automobile and tire industries and the railways, with some improvement being shown in shipping.

Although WEAF limped in pitlfully most of the time, there were periods of great volume.
 We listened 10 Emil Hcimberger's orchestra at WITS for about three quarters of an hour although we didn't make notes of all the mum bers' "Just q Sailors Sweetheart should be imprinted upon the white page, because of the original manner in which il was sung. And wa never noticed, until we heard solo in that number, how mellow the saxo- phone in that orchestra is, The tone is as clear as we've heard anywhere. Twilight Voices" from "The Prin- cess Flavia," that operctta on q grand scale, which is packing the Century theator in New York, was played well. That number gave tho SaXophone player a great chance to show how clear a tone he could pro- ducc. The number calls for high, pure tones and the sax player made the grade on high, The sax solo in "Who" was masterpiece, and strange 10 say, that sax player sn't paying us q cent for the write-up. In fact. we don't even know hs name.
 Ben Bcrne's band, which was scheduled to play from WEAF at II o'clock, would have had to go some to meat Paul Spccht's orchestra from the Moulin Rouge. which went on the air at l0:30 o'clock from WIZ. WIZ put the program over great, loud and clear with no fading and no interference. And the beauty of Spachts band was that there was no "l Love Me" drivcl between the numbers. just music, that's all, and the band got by on the merits Of that alone.
 Ben wasn't on the air at 1 i o'clock from WEAF, the Invisible Choir from Washington offering q program at that time.
 
 Late In the evening every station above WIS. Chicago, was, offering dance music and we went from one to the other, just 10 find out. We left WLS and went 10 bed. as Ford and Glenn, those inimi'ablc kings of harmony, were singing "I Wont You All For Me"
 As one of the Four Marx Rroth- CTS would say "The next number on our program will he q piccolo solo which We will omit"
 
 And here's wishing you all pleasant and successful New Ycark
 That's all for today, thanks!

WHOSE MONEY ARE
YOU SPENDING

Have you ever stopped to think
what a change there would be in
IA community if every one paid
their bills as promptly as possible?
II you owe the doctor money
and do not pay him but use the
money to buy new furniture, or
pay toward new car, or take a
Trip, are you being honest with
the doctor2 Most doctors do not
go out collecting, but assume that
their patients intend to pay as
promptly as possible. But when
the doctor knows of accounts that
should and could be paid, but are
not; then he seriously considers
refusing any more credit, just as
any other business man does.
Remember: The doctor takes
more interest in those who pay
their bills. The doctor cannot
live on hot air, so why give it to
him.
