these selling largely at $500 to $500,
while common and medium offerings
at $500 to $500 looked steady. Stock

Columbia University before the convention of the American
Association of Advertising Agencies.
DR.. Nystrom told the advertising men
This is not time for quitting, for Stacking, for

When business go and make it better. This
is the time for advertising and sales promotion"
What DR. Nystrom says is true.
Economic conditions manmade We should consider
them do the weather. which everyone talks but
one does anything ..........
The American business with the cooperation of his
toners has direct and important responsibility these times
It is to the butcher the baker and the candlesck
to out and stir the channels of trade for his sake
and for the sake of his community.
Dr. Nystrom told the convention that charities does
and hockads not doing anything to improve business
Those important agencies caring for pressing condition
but while they meet the condition they expected
remove the causes of that condition.
The business will have to do that And the best way
for the business eliminate the uggshness existing

for some years. Both success
full actors when they married.
Ann went on, reaping more and
more honors in Hollywood; but
Harry Bannister, despite every
effort, fell behind. Presently
people began to introduce him
as Ann Harding's husband"
A Bitter Dose
To be known just as "some
woman's husband'-that's a
bitter dose for any brilliant
mans pride. Brilliant women,
to be sure, have always had to
take that dose. Many of them
are still taking it. And no one
thinks that their selfrespect is
damaged because they are
known as "Sam Browns wife"
But, as ANY man will tell you,
that's another story.
Be that as it may, success
for Ann in the studios meant
misery for Harry in the home;
so now he's off to Reno, to rid
himself Oh marriage and make
a life for himself again.
A life for himself! Will it
be worth more than that life
with Ann? ..,...
And how about Ann? She
too, made a choice; stayed by
her career and let the man she
loved go to his.
Two fine, sincere people, deep
ly in love, choosing a career

and women, unknown to fame,
will think about that-Will won
der if they did right.
That bright youngster, work
ing at her first secretarial job.
Two years ago she was dream
ing of love in a roSe-covered cot
tage, as girls have always
dreamed. The only man;
baby or two, what more could
life offer?
But today she's not quite so
sure that life can't offer more.
In spite of hard times she's
had two raises this last year.
The boss says she has a fine fu-
ture before her if she'll work
hard.
The Future
She thinks what that future
would mean. An apartment of
her own. Lovely clothes. A
chance to go places, see things.
All the delightful friends and
diversions which city life may
give a charming girl.
COULD MARRIAGE GIVE
HER MORE THAN THAT?
She thinks of the married
women she knows-the drab,
uninteresting, middle-aged mar
ried women; the discontented,
restless. young married women,
pinching along, trying to forget
the days when they had their
own money"
DO They LOOK AS IF
MARRIAGE WE'RE WORTH
MORE THAN A CAREER?
Mother married. Yes, but
mothers had to marry. That
was their only way of estab-
fishing themselves in life. But
now it's different. A girl can
establish herself. She doesn't
need a husband. Does she even
want one? Isn't it better to
play the game alone?
So thinks the young secre-
tary, bending her pretty head
over flying fingers. And so,
across the hall, the young
lawyer is also thinking.
A Good Pal
"Bess is a great kid. Sure.
Swell to play around with. But
marriage? That's different.
Marriage binds a fellow so. And
does fellow really need mar
riage as his father did? Look at
the comforts of the club. And
if he's lonely, any of dozen
pretty girls ready to amuse him.
Then why all the responsibility
and expense of a wife and
home? Some day, maybe. But
noW?"
Everywhere, young people
thinking things over like that;
weighing, wondering. doubling,
trying to decide which pays best
Love or Life?
BUT CAN WE REALLY FIND
LIFE WITHOUT LOVE?
Will Harry Bannister and Ann
Harding find it? And all these
thousands of other bright young
people who won't be trapped
by matrimony?" I wonder.

Officials Knew the
Market Was Unsound

However, if we are to have
an investigation it should be
thorough and should cover
the bull market of 1928 and
1929, as we'll as the market
today. The historian and the
psychologist are deeply in
terested in the processes
through which an entire ma
tion was thrown into a state
of hysteria. The G. o. P.
bubble of those years is quite
as bizarre as that of John
Law. The Mississippi and
the South Sea bubbles had
nothing on it. Now that the
bubble has burst, thousands
Of the victims feel that their
losses are due to the failure
in some quarters to sound a
note Of common sense warn
ing. They know that cor
porations whose stock was
soaring to the skies knew
that the earnings of the cor
porations could not possibly
justify such figures, and
some feel that the corpora.
tions themselves might have
said so.
But, allowing for business
selfishness and timidity, the
victims are more resentful Of
the failure of the Admin
istration, this and the Cool
idge Administration, to sound
note of warning.
Nest of all they are pesent-
full because these administra-
tions, through their highest
spokesmen, constantly as
Sured the people that there
were sound values behind the
5kyrocketing prices - thus
leading the victims on to
their ruin.
And these victims know
that these high public Off
cials knew the actual condi-
tion of the corporations, and
knew the market was un-
sound.

Der correctly, we did not

that the Constitution does
not provide for anything of

says, it would make no diff

opposed to a referendum on

When Untermyer Examined
The Late J. Pierpont Morgan

The Administration group
in the Senate, disturbed by
the failure of it's counsel to
show that there is a con-
spiracy, international or par
tisan, to smash the market
and injure the country, is
now bent on the employment
of Samuel Untermyer. He
has had much experience in
such matters. The keenest
intellectual treat we ever had
was in listening to his exam
ination Of the big wigs of
high finance in the Pugo in
vestigation 20 years ago..
Especially vivid is our rec
ollection of the suavity and
almost sweetness with which
he examined the late j. Pier
pont Morgan. The most sur
prising feature of that ex-
animation was the forgetful-
ness of the old financial die
tator. We assumed, at the
moment, that it was a con-
venient lapse of memory; but
we have since heard on the
best authority that at that
time he was i'll, and fright
ened, and had not been in
timately identified with the
matter under investigation
for some years.

Steel is down on the mar

It is down on the market

The earnings are down
because the foreign market

because Of the reduction to
