 about it. He seems to regard Will liam M. Butler as a great man, one worthy of sending to the U. S. Sen ate. Incidentally he seems to regard Marcus A. Coolidge as a positively frightful candidate. If MT. Coolidge is elected 10 the Senate, he ayers. it will be because too many people in Massachusetts will think they are voting for Calvin Coolidge.
 MT. Babson's chief contribution to the campaign, however, has nothing to do with politics, although he in- cluded this contribution within the sound of his trumpet blast for the Republican candidates.
 Here is what he wrote:
 "One thing more. and this is
 that l am tired of hearing Mar
 tuS COOIiuSe, Ely, anu tllelI dsS-
 sociates blame the Hoover ad-
 ministration for the present de-
 pression. If such men will re-
 fer to copies of any authorita-
 tive business publication for the
 early part of 1928 they will see that the normal period for pros
 perity had then expired and
 business was below normal at
 that time.
 "Immediately upon Hoover's
 nomination business greatly im-
 proved. Hoover succeeded in eX-
 tending for two years an era of
 prosperity which financial pub
 locations felt had reached it's
 end in the beginning of 1928"
 Begin studying that statement a little. Note the second sentence of the first paragraph quoted. The normal period for prosperity had ex- pired in the early part of 1928, ac- cording to MT. Babson, who says authoritative business publica- tions" said as much.
 Now, if that was the case, it was the duty of Mr. Hoover, elected that year and talk ing office in 1929, to have uttered some words of caution against & continuance of the wild speculation and extravaganza that inundated the country. It was particularly the duty of Secretary Mellon, who was on the controls in the cabinet dur ing both 1928 and 1929, to utter words of warning.
 Instead, Messrs. Coolidge, Mellon and Hoover did exactly the oppo- site. They consistently issued state ments that all things were well, that the future was bright, and that nothing but uneXampled prosperity was in store.
 And this at time, as Nlr. Babson says, the authoritative business publications" conceded that the normal period of prosperity had ex- pired
 Each time Mr. Calvin Coolidge, pr Mr. Mellon, or MT. Hoover made ! fantastic statement about seeing no cause for alarm, up went the stocks and the spcculators were made happy.
 What kind of an announcement lid MT. Babson make at the time .hesc government officials were cling the nation bed time stories? In the same issue of the Boston paper containing MT. Babson's di- sression into an unaccustomed field statement by James NJ. Cox of Ohio, former candidate for he presidency. Mr. CoH's statement was not played up anything like hat of MT. Babson's. It at least de- served to be placed in a parallel column, seeing that both referred 70 the same period in our recent history.

Pearls Still
Are FnUOrgd
Je70eI Type
BY FRANCIS PAGET

NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-Jewelry
novelties may come and go-certain-
" they are coming in great profu-
sion-but pearls go on forever.
Necklaces in strands ranging from
two to five are ultra smart whether
clasped in crystal or IN color. Pearls
of course are varied in tint and
should be chosen to blend with the
complexion. Baguette crystals, sand
crystals with color stones of course
are approved, although some of the
richest of these strands have slides
and clasps Of gold.
For sports wear there still is a
prediction for red, and for colors
which blend with the costume. Eff
fective necklaces of coral and jade
are being worn with green and of
course with black or neutral cos
tunes.
Women seem divided In their
opinions, some preferring to match
their Jewels to their costume, while
others find pleasure in effective con-
trastS.
Formal jewelry follows the nine
teentn century ideas and not inapt-
ly is dubbed court jewelry." There
is naturally preference for color
less stones such as diamonds and
pearls. Precious or seemingly so
crystals also are liked for evening.
