But it is believed that their preservation will do much to enhance the beauty of the countryside and to keep Holland before the rest of the world as the land of the windmill, tulip, and wooden shoe.

When shown the turtle by Mr.,

that a terrapin with similar inscrip-

about 20 years ago in the eastern

1t is admitted by the Administra-
tons friends that recovery has not
come as fast as had been expected,
and that some of the Govern
men1s projects to srimulae it have
not worked. There is also a grow
ing realization that business men
and capitalists are not showing any
great amount of confidence in the
Goverr(Nent. Until that conf
dence returns, there will naturally
be little inclination on the part of
private capital to risk its money.
Where investments are most
needed right now are I'M the build
ing industry. More than 5,ooo,o 900
men, normally, are employed in the

1t has been President Roosevelt's
