PRESIDENT-ELECT MAY FEAR
POSSIBLE SLUMP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2f.-Can Am
cas- good times GO on Indefinite
.f
Formerly the "busincss cycle
rom peak to peak-was reckoned at
a5out a dozen years. period OF
8taduaily increasing prosperity, cul-
mirating in an orgy OF over-exten-
sIcn-th-n a loud pop-a slump.
and another period OF gradual re-
covcry.
By all good right there ought to
nave been an era Of terrible depres-
sion after the world war.
IL had been delayed BY the war
and should have been accommodating
1oison all the time. The war boom
i experience counted for any thing
vas due to be followed by a mighty
slump. Vast destruction Of property,
TOO, always had been deemed a sur
breeder Of hard times.
That slump has not hit US yet.
There was some unemployment for
4 space after the war. There has
been some more recently. Agricul-
ture and a few industries are be-
low par. However, there has been
no such long, general grind Of tight
money, failures and suffering. rs I
can remember in the early COS.
Three or four years ago il occur
red TO me 10 wonder why this sort
Of distressful interiude had been
hanished forever-and, If so-whith-
er. how. and BY whom?
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover
struck me as the best authority 70
consult for information.
Forthwith ! hied me 10 the COM
merce department and submitted
my query.
NV answer, probably the handi-
work. in detail, OF Secretary Hoover's
assistant, Edward Eyre Hunt, who
handed IL to rne. but by Mr.. Hoover,
himself, read and approved was
quite explicit
The then secretary Of commerce
believed that he had the business
surve" pretty effectively and per-
manently flattened out.
He held business booms response
Die for business slumrs-if he held
down the booms he was confident
there could be no sIumps. The sec
rotary admitted that there doubtless
would continue 10 be waves, but ex-
planned that IL was his idea to pre-
vent any wave from rising 10 so high
a crest as to break over, and fall
kerwash! - into corresponding
trough.
Discreet warning 70 trade and In
dustry, as credit began 20 show rigns
OF overstrain and production to out
run the country's capacity to con-
sume-this was the commerce de-
partment's oil on the water. as n
safeguard against a dangerously
choppy sea.
There is no gainsaying that this
scheme seems to have worked, up to
date.
AT any rate. there has been no
general slump-whether thanks for
the blessing are due 10 the commerce
department or to something else.
What ! would like to know is
Why President-elect Hoover's latest
proposal for the Saving up" Of
three billion dollars worth OF pub
lie improvements TO offset "recur-
ring periods" Of depression and
consequent unemployment? - (

Sane Diet VS.. Vitamines

Observation-Disclosures selection of
foods is a surer means of supplying
the body with health-giving vitamines
than reliance OF special foods sup
posed to contain these valuable prop
critics, dietitians now assert. Our
grandfathers never heard OF vitamines.
yet they were as sturdy physical speci-
mems as the present generation. They
ate foods which experience taught
them were wholesome and nutritious.
Countless ordinary foods contain Wit
amines which promote the growth of
young children, the maintenance of
health, and resistance to disease.
These include green vegetables, toma.
toes, egg yolk, liver, kidneys, and
other glandular organs, vegetable oils.
butterfat, carrots, peas, beans, spin.
ach, fresh fruits, milk, nuts, potatoes,
and legumes. Margarine, because II
is largely made up Of finest animal or
vegetable oils and milk, Is a valuable
source of vitamines. Sane attention
to diet, 1t Is pointed out, will secure
for the average person more than
enough of his share of vitamines for
satisfactory growth and health.
