WHERE DEATH Turks

Will the conscience of the nation arouse itself
over the frightful toll death eXacts on the high
ways? This greatest of holiday seasons sees the
tragedies of motoring mount to their highest peak.
Locally three women and two men are dead as the
result of highway collision between an automo-
bile and truck. Hopewel Va, dispatch fea-
tured the Monday morning news, telling of a Grey
hound bus punging through an open drawbridge
over the Appomattox river, costing ID individuals
their lives. ...--
Such scores run up by death on the highways
clearly indicate that the nations toll of dead on
the highways for 1885 will reach the high water
mark From now throughout the remainder of De-
cember traffic and travel will be heaviest Liquor

RING IN NEW YEAR FOR ECONOMIC
GUESSERS
fBv BRUCE CATION

Picht about now is the time when the
prophet gets his rifle down from over the
mantelpfece. slips it bit Of oil, and goes
out to kill him bear . -
Unfortunately, the business OF prophesy-
ing being somewhat uncertain, ne IS more
likely than not to come back with SPUR
rel or Neighbor Jones tomcat instead But
that never discourages him, and as each
wear end he is at it again with undlmm-
iShed enthusiasm.
This, in other words, is the open season
for guessing about what is likely to hap
pen during the new year. And to see how
risky such guessing is you have only to look
back at some of the gueSses that were made
about 1885. ....
First of all, we were assured that the
slow death of NRA would plunge us into
chaos. We had this on the excellent au-
thority OF General Johnson himself, with
the added assurance of Donald Richberg-
remember him?
So the,NRA died, in the course of 1885,
and chaos came not. Instead, the business
community heaved a collective sigh of re
lief and went out to get some more order
Mr. Richberg retired to whatever it is that
eX-NRA directors retire to, and General
Johnson set up a nice business as President
Roosevelt's most friendly critic.
Then there were economists who predict
ed (a) that an expansion of bank loans
would certainly follow the pumping of gov
eminent money into the banks, thereby
stimulating business, and that OBJ the new
Securities Act would destroy business by
making financing impossible.
Well, the government pumped and
pumped all year long, and still bank loans
have not risen appreciably; and this has
been the best year for new financing. Sc
curitieS Act or not, that has been seen in
some time.
Now there may not seem to be much
point in going into all these long-dead
prophecies, because most of them lie with
in the field OF economics and that is a field
where even the seventh son of a seventh
son has to hang on to his rabbits foot.
But economic prophecies are the kind
that interest us most, and they are the kind
we hear most often, and it worth NOTICING
that they don't pan out any better than any
other kind.
The seers are squirting at the sun right
now and making their forecasts for 1886
and if we judge by the past we can only
say that very, very few of them know what
they are talking about.
We can predict anything we please fol
our country during the coming year, bu
none of us knows anything about it; anC
the one fairly safe bet is that nothing will
happen just as We expect it to, but tina
the country will somehow manage to ge
through the year-and bring us to 1882
all ready:to listen to some new prophecies
