half philosophical optimism of 1929 when everyone imagined that the crash was just an interlude of read justment. But now this in turn gave way to strange pessimism in those hectic 100 days which followed New Years 1883. But, oddly enough, there was no rise of revolutionary spirit. People turned rather to the government and claimed its pro- lection.
 Then, as the new administration came into power and, under the im- perious pressure of the crisis, found itself, whether it wished it or not, driven to action, the most amazing

REV. J. R. COOMBS
 REVIEWS VOLUME

The life of Sherwood Eddy, to- gether with 8 review of his book, "A Pilgrimage of Ideas" formed the basis of talk by the Rev. John R. Coombs yesterday at the meeting of the Sunday Noon club of the Sec- ond Congregational church.
 MT. Coombs said Eddy had been left enough money to make him in- dependent, and had worked without compensation for various organiza- tions. He and his brother gave away all the money which they earned in this manner, MT. Coombs said.
 Speaking of the book, MT. Coombs declared, that the author believed communism to be a menace in America, which if it were not ser- iously considered, might eventually lead to revolution.

administration. Most of the presl- dents major policies have either been abandoned, knocked out or are. passing into inevitable aban- donment. The population may be said fairly to have lost its relish for those policies, save for government money, but the presidents hold on the electorate ism Ot yet shaken to the point. of being really endanger- ed. Business is rising and he is get- ting the credit for it.
 The republican party, 50 badly shattered by the defeats of 1882 and 1884, is undergoing some re- mobilization. A powerful movement has taken form against the presi- dents spending and borrowing program. Another great question arises-the old struggle between the states and the central government. But this time Big Business becomes the champion of the constitution and of states rights. Just ahead loom more perilous issues. The Townsend plan, 8. scheme to pay out $21, ,OOO, ,0O0. 900 year in old age pensions, is gaining strength. The Frazier -Lempke plan to pay farm mortgages with currency = $2,5OO.- OOO, ,OOO of inflation-has to be met. The bonus bill is in the offing. Townsend, Frazier-Lempke, the Le- zion, Relief - these are the Four Horsemen of Imitation.
 And to give point to all of this, we now move into presidential election year. The New Deal must this year face the tribunal of the people and answer for its steward As it does shipfiticeswgbie gbietaoinnnn ship. As 1t does so, the nation, in a changed mood toward the New Deal but moving pleasantly up the rising curve of the business cycle, is actually preparing-so at least 1t thinks-to enjoy 8 little boom. Has any political party in power been defeated in a year of boom?

the lists of persons who were con- tributing to the impossible job of paying relief out of charity. Walter Teagle was driving ahead with his share-the-work movement. The Japanese were starting their war in Jehol. The technocrats had the na- tion by the ears. Huey Long was
 1ourishing through his first f1li- buster. Adolph Hitler was taking over power in Germany. And as the banks closed all around us, presag- ing the coming crisis, farmers were threatening to hang sheriffs and judges who foreclosed on mort gages. Then as the dark clouds came down lower and hung wider and more terrible over the .Ameri- can scene, as if to add the poetic finale to the ending of an era, Cal- win Coolidge, the apostle of the dy- ing period, breathed his last in Northampton. Thus was the present era ushered in.
 We have to go back and re- member the appalling havoc which four years had wrought among us. Between New Years, 1929, and New Years, 1883, by some myster- ious force, FOURTEEN BILLION DOLLARS of bank deposits had been wiped out. What became of all this money? people asked. What indeedl It just vanished into the atmosphere of which, in fact, it was made.
 Now we are fretting bit because the government is spending 8 few billions a year more or less. But these fourteen billions went far more effectively than if the govern ment had taken them by taxation. Had the government taken them, they, would have collected them from one set of people, spent them instantly and in the next month the money would be right back in the cash registers and bank &C., counts of business. As it was the billions were not merely shifted about. They were abolished. Business Loss Immense On that New Years Day of 1883, as we looked back over the factor ies, the shops, the stores, the rail- roads and farms of the nation, we saw that they had done FOUR HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS less gross business than in 1928. Four hundred billion dollars-a bil- lion and third 8 day!
 1000 (Vtoxiekv,aoe xxyae n 1anxn one. In the year just ending the workers of the nation had seen their pay envelopes cut by TWEN- TY-ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
 The Christmas bonuses were mighty few, if there were any. American business saw its profits cut, by billions. In 1928 business cut a $3,300.000,000 melon. In 1882 the melon had shrunk to $776,000,- 900.
 And moving disconsolate, close to despair, among our people were fourteen million idle men and wo- men. And another ten million per- haps living below the margin of subsistence on sweatshop wages and part-time jobs. This was the dark scene which brought that last era to its end. It was one of the most amazing tumbles ever made by any nation in peace.

Real Music Demanded
The success of the current cycle

according to Mr.. Williams, by the

Teaching Ways Change
There is a distinct trend also
among the men of the country. Mr..
