healthy situation. Naturally, some
concerns are not doing as well as
they would like, but I believe if spe-
cific analysis were made of these
particular instances we would find
that the pessimism is based more on
what they had hoped to profit rath-
er. than on what might be considered
a reasonable and substantial profit.
We are now at the logical time for
a seasonal slump in production and

a falling off of less
than three per cent. Another heal
thy thing is that there is a continued
reduction in consumer prices, which

would be a slight shading off, and
the present study has borne this out,

readjustment that means stability
and a closer relation between pro-
duction and consumption"

Too often sleeping porches are
but ugly makeshifts "stuck" on the

sanatorium; which has been the rea-

up the idea of a sleeping porch.
