BIZ KENNETH 5. VAN sTRuM.

NEW YORK, April s.-The stock
market has long been conEidered q
barometer Of future business condi-
tions, since Il was discovered that when
the general trend OF the market was
upward business would usually improve
and a decline in stock prices usually
preceded business slump.
The markets barornetric usefulness
has been considerably lessened In re-
cent years, however, because the inter-
val between q change In the trend OF
stocks and Of business has been short
ened. Furthermore, the length OF the
rately; sometimes 1t would be q few
weeks, sometimes few months. There
Is no mathematical relationship be-
tween the two.
The uncertainty of the intervals may
be partly explained by the fact that
although stocks depend on business
conditions for their values, both stocks
and business are affected by many
factors which cannot be predetermined
and never enter the situation in exact
ly the same way twice. Perhaps the
most important influence Of this sort. Is
money rates
Influence Of Money Rates.
Low money rates have always signi-
fed that 1t was easy to obtain credit
for either stock or business operations;
high money rates eventually tend to
discourage such expansion.
One might Immediately object that
high money rates have not discouraged
the present expansion OF stock prices
and business. It must be realized,
however, that rates have been purposely
raised to stop speculation, and also
that although the cost of business
credit is higher than 1t has been for
several years, 1t is still safely below
the Z, 8, and per cent levels, which by
discCuraging any but the most urgent
borrowing, gave warning Of q collapse
Of security values in 1907 and in 1920.
It is quite evident that at present
there Is plenty Of credit for business

CLINIC
TO Be HELD MAY )
State Medical Expert to Ex-
anime Children and Adults
in Arlington County.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, April 26.-Dr. p. M. Chi
chester, county health officer, today
completed plans for an orthopedic cilinc
to be held Sunday, May 5, at the Wood
row Wilson School, Fort Myer Heights.
The clinic, which will be held by an
orthopedic surgeon from the State
Health Department. is for the benefit
of children and adults who are crippled
or suffering from any bone disease or
deformity.
In stressing the Importance of the
clinic, DR.. Chichester said that there
are many people who have been Grip
pied by injury, infantile paralysis or
other diseases who have accepted their
conditions as hopeless when by a visit
to the clinic they may learn that science
has discovered a way to cure them.
Many Absolute Cures.
The records of these clinics show an
unusual number Of absolute cures and
many more cases In which apparently
hopeless crippleS have been given the
use of their limbs.
Another service rendered by the clinic
Is the careful study Of children who
may have had slight attack of in
fantile paralysis without the knowledge
of their parents or attending physician,
DR.. Chichester said. In many such
cases the attack is so slight as to pass
practically unnoticed at the time, but
eventually results in partial disability.
An orthopedic surgeon would be able
to detect the symptoms that remain
after even a slight attack and prescribe
treatments that may prevent the victim
from becoming either partial or total
cripple.
Includes Flat Feet.
The clinic, DIR. Chichester pointed
out, is not only for those who are notice.
ably crippled, but for those who have
any trouble that may be traced to bone
disease or deformity. In this respect
he stressed the Seriousnesse of what is
ordinarily termed fiat feet, with the at
tendant nervousness When taken in
the early stages fiat feet may be en-
tirely cured, he said, and suggested that
any resident of the county who is tired
and nervous for no apparent reason
visit the clinic, where it can be deter
mined whether their trouble may be
traced to nat feet
The clinic will be held from o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the
afternoon and is open to any one living
in the county.
