Too Quick a Diagnosis

One of two things is generally wrong with discussions
Of the nations business situation. Either it is taken for
granted that the country has gone to the dogs and will
never be able to lift its head from the pillow again, Or
it is assumed that everything is really all right and that
we need only a little bit of Pollyanna gladness and hope
to be as prosperous and happy as we ever were.
Recovery will come, of course-wul come, probably
before we have stopped wailing about hard times. Sooner
o. later we shall be more prosperous and busy than we
were in 1928 and 1929, and the time may not be as far
off as we suppose.
On the other hand, there is no sense in trying to pre-
tend that there is nothing the matter with us except a
pessimistic frame of mind. The bread lines have been
real enough; the Red Cross and other relief organiza-
tions have been busy enough. There has been plenty of
suffering, and one must be a %simpleton to deny it.
However, it is possible to strike a happy medium in
sppraising the situation.
In the current Magazine of Wall Street, Theodore
Knappen reviews things and finds that while conditions
are bad enough. 1880 has not by any means been a
total loss.
For example, he points out that the brunt of the bust
ness depression fell on the steel, construction and auto
mobile industries. But even SO, these industries were
better off than in 1920.
Similarly, the total volume of manufactures in America
in 1880 was far above the total for 1920. There was only
q slight drop in electric power output from 1929. The
gasoline consumption for 1880 was the largest in Ameri-
can history. Department store sales in 1880 equaled
those of 1929 in volume, and were only slightly below them
in value. Chain store sales increased In volume, and
fell off in value only fractionally.
Nor is that all. Savings banks deposits gained during
1880. The aggregate of interest and dividend payments
on securities was considerably ahead Of that OF 1923.
Capital issues of domestic securities were larger than in
any previous years except 1928 and 1929.
What does all of this mean? Why, obviously, that
the country is in better health than we have supposed.
This is not to say that there has not been much suffer-
ing. 1t is not to say that there has not been a great
deal of unemployment. a great deal of hunger. a great
deal of Encouragement. But it does mean that the coun-
try is on a very sound basis for q healthy trade revival
which can hardly be postponed much longer.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Cold Hands

Question: Mrs. p. j. writes: some
months ago I became i'll with weak
muscles of the heart, but I am appar-
emily all right now. The doctor
claims my heart is strong again, but
I am very nervous, cannot sleep
nights, and hands and feet always
cold. I always have a feeling that !
will drop dead. Can you tell me what
causes that? Will I ever overcome
this feeling?"
Answer: Your present symptoms
are no doubt caused by poor circula-
ton. You are probably not exercising
enough because of the former heart
trouble. You should take a regular
system of exercising, both with calls
themes and walking long distances
each day.
Fruit Juice
Question: Mrs. F.. H. asks: "Will
you kindly inform me if it is all right
to mix lemon and grapefruit juice?
I use lemon juice in hot water every
morning upon arising, but I find 1t
more palatable to mix the two"
Answer: The juices of oranges.
grapefruit and lemons may be mixed
as they contain essentially the same
clements. The principal acid con-
tanned in them is citric acid. No 9TH
or fruits should be combined in this
way.
COlitiS
Question: E. G. asks: what are
the causes and symptoms of colitis2
I think I am in the first stages, and
am entirely ignorant of what I should
co. At times I am very light-head-
ed and weak"
Answer: The symptoms you write
OF are often found with colitis; there
are also many other symptoms in this
disorder. and if I were to write about
them all it would fill a book. An
x-ray examination of your intestines
would be the most accurate method
for determining the degree of colitis
which exists. Most everyone who is
not perfectly well has some degree
Of colitis, which simply means in
flammation of the colon.

Tomorrow VS.. Yesterday

VS.. 1eSCerQay
Business structures In the advanced styles of tomor-
row and residences in the fashions of a thousand yester-
days is the incongruous picture which every American
city offers as q matter Of course.
An argument for the advancement Of dwelling design
into the free realm which business building form has
entered is made on the grounds of utility and taste by
Francis Really, a member Of the American Institute Of
Architects, in the current number of The American
Architect.
To use a 500-year old building as a model for a mod
en residence Is like offering a horse and buggy to a
man in a hurry to get somewhere, says Really. In
designing buildings he sees architects as too ready to
start with the style of the roof and outer walls, making
the interior conform.
Time was when the automobile was new. Those who
had stables turned them into garages. Those who had
no stables built what looked like little stables, put them
at the back of the house where a stable belonged, and
called the result garages. Some venturous fellow finally
decided that the place for a garage was near the road
and he built his at the front of the lot, improving upon
its appearance at the same time so that it no longer
looked like a miniature stable. Years and years later
a man who had a gas or oil furnace made his basement
from something resembling a large trash bin into a part
of the human habitation.
Costume design has always followed architectural de-
sign,' writes Really, land has often been in harmony
with it. Consider the beautiful Venetian costumes that
were in harmony with ornate palaces. Today, however,
the keynote of our clothes is comfort and simplicity, yet
we go on building Elzabethan manors, French chateaux
and Italian villas"

West Coast Gets a New Passenger Ship
The launching Of the electrically propelled liner, "Presi-
dent Coolidge at Newport News Feb. 2lst, has added a
very splendid passenger ship to the Dollar Liue en-
gagged in west coast Asiatic commerce.
The ship is a twin-screw vessel of nine decks, has a
displacement of 80 800 tons and will have a cruising speed
of 81 knots. 1t has accommodations for 1850 passengers
and a crew of 300.
The ship is one of the first to be run entirely by cleo
trical power. The equipment ranges from giant machines
to tiny motors that will run the fans and other con-
trivances for the comfort of passengers. A gyroscopic
steering device, which steers the ship automatically with
out human aid, is one Of the numerous improvements
that makes this vessel a wonder house Of modern science.

Instead Of directing this mighty
movement into visible channels,
it is being kept in darkness. Like
that famous philoSophic ostrich
who sticks his head into the
sand, it is believed that what Is
invisible does not exist.
France wrong" Too
France, which believes her
method will prevent the Nation
alist tide from rising, is just as
wrong as you, chancellor, who
believe you can impede the
growth Of national power by like
methods. Prohibitions like the
one affecting uniforms only serve
to increase more and more the
national resentment against the
present regime.
A single glance at history
ought to reveal to you that force
creates force and that you,
chancellor, will hardly succeed
in changing this fact.
A political truce has been
called over the holidays. Christ
mas has been used as an excuse
to prohibit activity of the opposi.
ton. When all political meet
ings were forbidden, it was nat
ural this did not include the gov
ernmental parties.
No independent person in Ger
many could possibly praise the
emergency decree; therefore, it
was only possible to talk against
it. What an ingenious idea to
indirectly employ the beautiful
Christmas festival as a shield
over that decree. Instead of al
lowing political strife to discharge
itself, all the safety valves were
cIamped down tight, allowing the
steam to gain pressure.
After two years Of piling UP
one disappointment after another,
it is no longer possible that the
governments appeal will meet
that confidence which was first
manifested in it. The people are
no longer interested.
There is no salvation which is
not founded upon the inherent
power and faith of the masses.
The practical effects Of your
DEGREES, chancellor, will be to
ultimately assist in bringing
about the real salvation of Ger
many.
Although they were intended
differently, they will contribute
toward helping national socialism
to victory.
