IMPROVING WILLOW BROOK

It appears that all objections 10 the plan to improving Willow Brool: 50 as to prevent it from going on a rampage, resulting in inconvenience and tKe destruction of property. have been swept away. The mayor hopes the work. which will cost the city 5000, will be started soon.
 The mayor looks at the project from two standpoints The work is 2 necessity, az all those who have in vestigated agree; and it's early be- ginning will give employment to artisans and street workers who need if. Through them and their employ ment the public also will gain.
 The project is one Of those which continually crop up as the city pro- gresses and must be done in spite Of the expense incurred. There were many years in the citys history when the manner m "nlch WILLOW Brook behaved itself did not much matter It was when the section Of the city through which it flows, however, became built up that dis satisfaction arose.
 This incident can se multiplied by dozen and one gets q notion of the needs Of the city which are due entirely to it's growth. A city that doesn't grow saves itself a lot of trouble and expense But New Britain doesn't happen 10 be that type or town. And there are few, even taxpayers. who would prefer 10 have New Britain any other way.

prevailing high stock prices did not | represent true values but merely
 represented the kiting that millions
 of spectators in the market made
 possible. Why should it bd cause
 for concern if suddenly the security
 values on the whole recede to d
 level more in consonance with actu-
 al values?
 Stocks are worth only what peo- l pie will pay for them. What they
 will pay depends upon numerous
 factors, including their state of
 mind. The millions of spectators l who made stocks ascend since 1924 | did not pause to study statistics or
 statements of earnings. They merc- l ly plunged because the plunging seemed good. When they get out of i the market they don't spend time
 studying statistics either. They get out because they are actuated by their emotions This applies to the ! majority of stock traders, Of course, | the amateurs, not the well-posted | body of professionals who know what they are doing most of the
 time. Unfortunately, however, it is the action of the amateurs who
 largely govern the state of the mar ket. So long as millions of clerks and
 mechanics were able to make easy money during a rising market they were in it; when the goose quit lay ing the golden eggs they dropped out Of it. What, We might ask, have such actions by millions of people to do with fundamental business conditions? Some of the spectators failed to pay their bills while using their earnings 10 play the market. They now will be able to pay more attention to these accounts and one merchant informed Us that already his collections have improved.
 Business consists of supplying a demand; and also in creating de- mands that can be supplied. So long as there is a way to supply consum- CTS with what they would like to have at prices they can afford to pay there will be no recession in business. It is widely noted that steps are already under way to ac- complish this end. Whatever reces- sion there is may be in certain lines, AS matter of fact, there was q marked slowness in "certain lines throughout the entire stock market boom; for instance, in textiles, agri culture and mining. These are inn portant industries Textiles are al ready improving and agriculture is expected to do so by next year, by which time the governments farm relief program will show results.
 There is no use being chilled dur ing a readjustment period. After all, | it is merely a rcadjustment. There |. was no chill when the readjustmcnt | was in the other direction. Citizens who go about their business in the usual manner. who purchase such things they can afford and pay for what they get, who contribute their time and effort to the general wei fare and refuse to be worried over what happens to speculators- | are the backbone of the country And most of them are only interest ! ed in the stock market to the extent ' they are interested in football . game, baseball game or an i'm l portant prizefight.

Starts Rising, Falls, Then
Advances Again

New York, April 8. - (AP) = The
stock market alternately blew hot and
cold today as control Of the price
movement shifted between "bulr' and
'bear" forces. The market headed
upward at the opening, turned heavy
Just before midday when heavy SELL
Ing cropped out in the coppers and
then moved higher under leadership
OF the merchandising shares.
There was no change in the credit
situation. Call money renewed at 7
per cent and appeared to be In fair
supply at that figure but Wall street
was anticipating another squeeze
and around the middle Of the month.
The time money market was quiet
with 8 per cent quoted for all ma

Early selling Of the copper shares
was based on the speculative belief
that the current high prices for the
red metal will not be maintained.

nearly points and number Of 9TH

Andes Kennecott and Inspiration
yielded points or more before suf-
ficient buying support appeared to
check the tide Of selling.

lived. Chesapeake & Ohio ran up to
. new high record at 229h and
dropped back to 224 OH profit taking.
Other rails turned quiet.
The brisk demand for the merctan-
