The Financial Outlook

Truly Secretary MELONS report is rcassuring tt
those Of us who have been thoroughly frightened d!
verbose arguments on the evils Of nstalment buying
extravaisance and other things that were to spel
financial ruin for the United States in 1927. As ia
MS we can see from Mr. Melons report. there is
very little likeh cd 81 anything untoward happen
inr to upset the favorable financial balance.
As he so aptly says in his report the strength CT
our present prosperity is in the broadness OF us
base; vet with all this spending, savings accounts
have gone up. more life insurance is being written
and sound securities sought by the small investor
Credit throughout the country seems To oc ample
On the whole it seems to me that our domestic situa-
ton is in good shape and we can look forward TO
another satisfactory year.
II is not Secretary Melons tendency 70 he over
optimistic Accustomed TO dealing with figures. he
likes to stick to facts and not heor and he likes
to he able to prove the points he makes. His facts
arc incontrovertibe. We are spending more money
than ever before. yet saving more than ever
before. Surely if that ratio maintains itself there
can be no harm in the extent Of spending except
to increase trade. and surely that cannot do any
chain.
Perhaps this report will tend to silence those
critics Of our present commercial fabric who see IN
instalment buying thing Of evil and distinct
menace to the financial structure of country.
Where they get the alarming facts they broadcast
is more than is easily discernblc BY far the great
err number of financial experts agree that it is n
sound proposition and that far it has not been
abused The outlook for 1927, therefore. is cheering.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dee. 22.-There is nm
old, old admonitiOn to the effect that
4 New Yorker is the last person to
ask regarding how to get around
New York.
1t is true that the dwcller in Man
haitian makes his motions more or
less automatically and has consider
able difficulty explaining how he
makes them.
1t is much like a man who goes
along whistling and, suddenly inter-
rupted. is asked the tune. Rarely
can he name it.
Thus the New Yorker knows ex-
actly how to get to . certain corner
in the Wall Street belt, or how to
find a colorful hidden cafe on the
East Side. But let q stranger ask
him how to get there and he can
nor tell.

Instructions Tend
to Improve Service

In new instructions issued today,
field service representatives of the
interior department were enjoined to
aid and assist all applicants, claim
ants and other persons transacting
business with the department.
The purpose of the instructions is
to effect q general improvement in
the service and to facilitate rather
than hamper citizens in securing the
benefits entitled to them under the
law. The instructions as issued by
the secretary Of the interior follow
in part:
II wish to bring to the attention Of
our inspectors some suggestions
which it is believed will be of ad-
vantage to the service and ultimately
to the credit Of the government we
represent.
1.-THE rule Of conduct for every in
spector of the department Of the in
terror should be with the single
thought Of how best he can improve
the service. Inspectors can not be
of real assistance to the secretary.
his assistant secretaries and bureau
heads unless they approach the pub
lie and discharge their duties in a
spirit Of open-minded, helpful and
constructive cooperation.
inspectors who lose sight Of the
high purpose of government by fol-
lowing technicalities in procedure
which hamper or prevent the citizen
in securing those benefits which it
is the intent Of the law he should
have, bring about loss Of confidence
and respect for the administration OF
the law.
"They should bear in mind the
average claimant or applicant pre-
SCENTS his case in good faith and,
when it is found during the course
of an investigation they are not COM
plying with the law or regulations,
advice and assistance should be given.
inspectors should inform appli-
cants that the department will help
and advise all persons who come to
il in good faith and that it will not
knowingly, as has been too often
charged, take advantage Of uminten-
ti0nal failure to comply with some
regulations that might be corrected"

Santa, Messenger of Christ. Child
youths C,mpaniOnl

Because it is hard fer little children to understand
things OF the spirit, and because the Christ-Child
wants all children to be happy especially His
birthday, He sends a messenger. And the mes
senger is other than the round jolly laughing
man you know as Santa Claus, who brings to you
and all boys and girls packs and packs of delightful
gifts to celebrate and be as happy Christmas, His
birthday, you your cwn.
So you there is, after all, real, true Santa
Claus who does the will of the Christ-Child that
you may be joyous Christmas day.

The Nervous-or Nervy?-Count

The trouble with Count Ludwig Salm Won Hogs
traeten has been revealed to tensely expectant
world at last.
It's nervousness.
His wealthy and alienated young wife. Mcen.

letters to her motherinlaw. The letters were read

HE hates it. and he's too nervous"
It's certainly relief to know that Sc many
people had wondered.
Nervousness by no means is unknown disease

restrained the from putting his hands to toll
in the past will evoke tremendous sympathy for him.
