If it isn's. we should expect to see loss of interest that would react ssriously on inter- collegiate football :" If the Alumni Weekly regards the S4 ticket for the Army game and the 8 for Dartmouth substan- tial reduction over last years prices we fail to see it.

A Book a Day
Finds Half of Housing In
 U. s. To-day is Unfit
by BRUCE CATION

|. Less than half of the homes in the United States measure up to minimum standards of health and decency.
 Under present conditions no im- provement is possible = because the building industry simply can- not build decent homes for ordinary folk at prices that ordinary folk can afford to pay.
 These startling assertions come from Housing America" little package of dynamite prepared by the editors of Fortune magazine.
 The building industry, declare the authors of this book, Is the second industry in size in the worlds greatest industrial nation. But this industry is not yet indus trialized; that Is. 1t produces its product under old handcraft con- ditions and 1t has not even begun to take advantage of the opportun- ities offered by mass production.
 This, they say, is not the indus try's fault. Building house is not the same as building an auto- mobile. But they do assert that the building industry can enjoy the greatest industrial boom im- aginable if 1t submits to a com plete revamping, learns how to produce houses in factories and gets the aid of Q far-reaching and effective governmental housing program.
 Unfortunately, there Is not room here to outline this books proposed program. I can only say that the book points the way to . better life for the nation and to q new prosperity for workers and em- ployers alike. It Is an immensely stimulating and thought-provoking piece of work.

In the current issue of the Yale Alumni Weekly it says: ITO meet the times the prices of tickets to the football games this year have been substantially lowered from last year. Judging. however. from the small attendanees at the games. they are still not low enough. We think that this is the general conclusion of the graduate public. and that three or four dollars 4 game. with tax. when multiplied by the number of games graduate wants to see and by the number of guests he may wish to take with him. runs up into figure that looms rather large to many people today. The Athletic Association naturally needs to take in all that it can. as football supports the other student sports. but it is question whether it would not have been as well off if it had filled the Bowl this year at lower prices. as it is likely to be with smaller attendanees at higher prices And disregardins expense

The John Brown Association of Torring. ton has just completed it's task of appropri. ately marking the site of the famous Abo. litionist's birthplace in that town. The house in which John Brown was born was burned down some years ago. but the site is now in condition for all to visit. About an acre of property has been graded and large boulder marks the spot where the John Brown house once stood. This boulder will ultimately be marked with tablet and the spot perhaps turned over to the state as a memorial.

To The Editor:

To The Editor:
 should like to remark upon the quaintly ridiculous political economy of Senator Bingham. He says he can put out the fire of depression by smothering 1t in beer.
 TO judge of Q remedy, we must first look at the diagnosis. As shown in Irving Fishers book on Rooms and Depressions," q depression is chiefly . matter. of monetary de- fation. Few people know that 9-10 of our circulating medium consists of bank checks based on business loans.--that Is, credit currency" Tho over production of such loans breaks down sooner or later in a panic of liquidation; and this excessive liquidation wipes out the credit currency of this country and slows 1t down = so radically that the price level sags hopeless business. Thus the essential disease is a hole in our credit currency. and the remedy must be to All up the hole. Business must be enabled to borrow normally, and banks must be enabled to lend normally. There is not necessarily less phy. sical wealth in the world, but the money mechanism which moves the wealth is out of order, and the wealth scarcely moves.
 What has beer to do with that? Would the re.opening of liquor factories speed up the circulation of either pocket money or credit? If, as some vets maintain. the bootleggers are already selling as legalized brewers would sell, pocket money for liquor would not circulate faster for the brew ers-quite the contrary, because the borrowers would sell at lower prices, ,---less money would tranact the same business.
 As a matter of fact, legalized brewing would increase the sale of liquor, but the new industry would have to do something to get going. You don't get going by just hanging out sign. Ed Wynne tells us that his uncle was h ner- yous wreck, and that the doctor prescribed for him absolute quiet. "And gave my poor uncle ab- solute quiet" said Wynne. T set him up in business" Sfcven q brew cry doesn't get full start by hanging out q sign. It firgt has to establish credit,--it must 50 to the banks. Now, every dollar of credit which tho banks extend to the liI auor interest, iessens the credi. available for other business; and though depressiors are due chiefly to loss of circulation rather than d loss of real wealth. yet the total problem of prosperity depends on keeping up both factors. circula- ton and wealth: and every dollar of credit that goes into the average successful business helps to pfc- duce wealth such as food. shelter.

 Without demanding any votes for "Trank," she nevertheless en- tered a warm defense for his ad- ministration at Q time when re- publican orators had been pan- ming 1t and very few democrats making any answer.

So They Say

I think patriotism may yet de- stroy civilization Sir Norman Angel, British economist and pac- fist.
 Women are having the best time ever, now, but you men still have the ascendency. When 1 was a girl I would ask my mother if my brother, despite the fact that he couldn't add and could, was still smarter than I. My mother would say, "Yes, he Is man." That's over now, but the men don't haze such bad time---C1emence Dane, British playwright and novelist.
