NUDE MAN PRAYS IN

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Patrolman
Martin Walsh of the w. Thirtieth
street station was startled to see
nude man praying outside the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. Martin took his coat
to wrap around the worshiper, but he
would have none of it. The policeman
then induced him to ride to the meet

man jumped out of the cab at Sixth
avenue and Thirtieth street. The rest
of the journey was made on foot, with
the naked man stalking along beside
the coatless patrolman, crowd fol-
lowing.

THE IDEAL SIZE.

The average feminine foot measures
larger than it did 20 years ago but the
girls OF today are taller and their other
bodily measurements are greater than
were those of the weaker sex genera
ton back.
Six and half A is the shoe size of
the average yung lady. The regular
stock of an orthodox shop ranges from
size one and half to ten and some
portion of the trade qualities for each
measurements.
Florenz Ziegfeld of "Glorifying the
American Grip fame has been widely
quoted designating number five as the
ideal foot size for a successful chlorine.
This applies to the girl five feet four
or five inches in height, however.
And therein lies another secret of
the art of boob selling. Few women
have feet proportionately large or
small. Occasionally n lady of girth
possesses a small foot and slender
ankle but it is due to natures scheme
of things which bestowed small bones
on her thus making her excessive
weight unnatural.
SHOES TOO SMALL.
Another popular belief is blasted by
the percentage of women with triple
A feet. Time was when the possession
of long, slender foot was considered
sign of aristocracy and artistic tenn
permanent.
Also, probably another bit of well
fostered propaganda, the possession of
such pair of feet was considered
rare. But Jackson AYERS that fully 40
per cent of women shoppers could wear
triple AS if they would take their
shoes long enough.
Twenty-Five per cent Of feminine
buyers wear shoes that are too small
for them and of this number the young
girls predominant. The dividing point
in such woman's life is when she
adopts her correct size.

Conway Tearle is always the mat

usually the acme Of happiness. When

and the adjustment of prices for
what he sells to prices for what
he buys; the sound position of
general credit; the efficiency of the
railroads; and, finally, the restraint
which has still kept production in
practically all lines of manufac-
ture within the limits of visible
consumption.
The list is not new; all observant
merchants, manufacturers and bank
ers have these considerations in
mind in seeking to guage the imme-
date future.
The fact that business has fuc-
tuated within such narrow range
since the spring of 1923 has led some
to believe that we are not likely to
see again the violent swings Of the
business cycle of other days.
The Federal Reserve
They say that the regulatory in
fiuence of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn in the administration of credit,
the more systematic collection and
wider dissemination of business data
by Governmental and other agen-
cies, the ever increasing program
of education in business economies,
can scarcely fail to broaden the per
spective of business men and OPP
crate to temper enterprise at criti-
cal points. But despite all these
constructive influences, and despite
the severe lessons of the none too
recent past, two stubborn facts re-
main, the natural optimism OF the
majority of human beings and the
impossibility of determining future
market demands with anything like
precision.
They combine to produce from
time to time dislocated relationship
between production and consump-
ton, and when the optimism is par
ticularly strong and the market Judg-
ment particularly bad we shall
doubtless see again severe upward
and downward swings of the eco
nomic cycle. Just now when our in
dustry is more closely related TO
world markets than ever before. and
when the complexity Of the economic
mechanism we have to control is
largely increased thereby. the diff
ficulty of estimating trends is
enormously increased
Time for Conservatism
All considerations taken into &C
count, 1t is a time for conservatism
in making future plans. If we desire
a continuance of prosperous condi-
lions. Any one Of several things
which can happen would cast a
speedy pail over the present rosy
prospect. II we exercise a reason
able degree OF self control, the next
downward swing may be kept within
the same narrow range which char
acterized the last two, and business
continue on a fairly satisfactory
level. But IL we lose sight Of the
fact that there are certain elements
in the situation that may cause
drastic liquidation IL overexpansion
runs its course, we may be in for a
repetition OF the painful experience
of 1901 and 1920-21.

is apparently checked. If so the
condition of extreme credit ease may
be expected to change, AS a matter
of fact money rates, while still COM
Portable, are already stiffening. The
movement of the money curve
should be watched with care during
the months ahead as it Is one of the
most important factors In deterrnin-
ing the probable beginning Of the
next important industrial decline
Bearing on the probable nearness of
this change, it is interesting to note
that the number OF blast furnaces in
operation is approaching so per
cent, the level which Col. Leonard
Ayres' theory indicates is the turn
ing point in the basic iron and steel
industry. The fact that this peak is
nearly three months ahead Of the
time it should occur according to the
graph of ingot production over a
period Of years, is probably a re-

dustries and may indicate that the
interval between the present peak
and the next one will be longer than
the normal with whatever that may
imply as to the severity of the next
business depression.
During the past three years bust

ness conditions have been unusually
mixed and battling. The trend Of
affairs in general trade. has been
directed by some purely temporary
influences. Unusual conditions have
produced long period Of ease In the
money market. But in spite of this
extreme credit ease, business in
general has been conducted con-
servatively. probably because the
disastrous experiences Of 1s20-21,
have still been so fresh in mind.
Any commercial banker will tell you
that the liquidation OF those years Is
not all back Of us yet. "Hand-to-
mouth buying has become the catch
phrase to characterize the business
of these three years. Consequently
the business recessions Of this period
have been quickly controlled, and
may now be recognized as only
temporary interruptions in the for
ward movement of business.

commodity prices have stiIl moved

Day Of Reckoning

Thus the two industries which
have contributed most to the album
dant prosperity Of 1925 seem to be
approaching a day of reckoning.
How depressing the consequences
will be to general business can only
be guessed, but the situation is one
that must be soberly reckoned with
in undertaking any forecast Of the
future.
The burden of taxation is still a
serious drag on industry. For while
the Federal Government is doing ev-
erything in it's power to reduce this
burden, the State governments have
on the average more than doubled
their routine operating costs in the
past seven years, leaving out Of &C
count entirely the enormous expen-
ditures for hard roads, schools and
other so-called permanent improve
ments. The bonded debt for these
improvements is being increased at
the rate of billion dollars year.
This mortgaging of the future can
not go on at this rate, even in a
country asMfch as the United States,
without serious results.
The orgy Of spending and going
into debt Is not confined to Govern
mental agencies. The people them
selves are doing the same thing.
With one-twelfth Of the national in
come mortgaged to meet installment
purchases Of things that ought to
be bught out of savings, we have a
situation that Is full Of potential
grief unless we put the brakes on.
The flow Of gold into this country
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-12-31

without intimating bad faith in
the issue Of real estate securities, it
may reasonably be said that in a
time Of general speculative excuses
like the present it would be easy for
building loans to float on an unre-
liable basis of security. The public
Is necessarily uniformed and, to
a much higher degree than is gen.
orally understood, quite uncritical-
At might be added also largely in
capable of critical appraisal, of the
securities offered to it. The com
ing six months will very probably
give some indication of how far there
has been unsoundness in building
financing such as will have serious
reactions."
The other industry which during
1925 has stood next to building as
the support Of general business ac-
tivity, the automobile, Is now obvi-
ously confronted with problems
which make its immediate future one
Of considerable doubt. Production
has been accelerated to an intensity
which has already given evidence of
overlooking the market. The highly
competitive conditions within the in
dustry itself are self evident.
One of the largest manufac-
turers has already announced a
sweeping price reduction to be
specified early in january. Com
petitOrs will be forced by some
means to meet the offer. In the
meantime the advance in tire
prices has finally reached the
manufacturer.
Automotive Industries is authority
for the statement that the average
profit per car on the basis Of the
business for 1925 has been just about
equal to this Increase in tire cost.
Throughout the industry, production
costs have been reduced about to the
limit, profit margins have been mar
rowed, terms Of sale have been made
extravagantly LIBERAL and purchases
have been very largely financed by
the banks. This process cannot go
much farther without the elimina-
ton Of some Of the producers; in
other words, combinations which will
mean a reorganization of the bust
ness on a more conservative basis,
with a considerable narrowing Of the
support which the industry has this
year given to general business ac-
tivity.
