Of men whose activities are some
thing of a mystery even to most menl-
bers of the Wall Street financial COM

into the financial limelight this week.
Foreign exchange traders, who han

stock market dealings into mere white
chips, swung into spectacular action
as the dollar scared in a few hours
trading to levels not equaled since the
dollar was revalued in terms of gold
in January, 1884.

Commenting on the number of
boats that contain the engine at or
near the rear end, Mr.. John said that
in this respect at least, boat builders
have taken big step ahead of auto
mobile builders. Putting the engine
at the rear releases valuable space in
the middle of the boat for passenger
use. Introduced last year, the new
drive mechanism which permits put
ting the engine in the rear has been
successful.
Notice the new f1atter type of OIL

popular this year. It can be put un-

Valley Forge, looking up at the bleak hills where
the unshod sentries left bloody footprints in

something up there. beyond the Winter horizon,
that was not visible to ordinary folk.
Tor all of the future lay beyond that horizon
. everything that we have had ever
since then, broad and smiling land of homes
and shops and churches and fine buildings,

experiment of being their own bosses and could
prove that it worked . . that entire, mag

better life for millions upon millions of human
beings, and which will 60 on working itself

And somehow he made the men who followed
him see these things; made those broken, beaten
men see that they were not broken or beaten
after all So those men got through the Winter
somehow and got through the campaigns that
followed and stacked their arms at last outside
of Yorktown and gave the world an open
road to a great future.
We are a long way from that dark Winter,
now. But the things that Washington saw
on the skyline, and showed to his ragged Con-
tinentals, are still there-if we take the trouble
to lift our eyes and see them
There have been times, of late, when our job
looked almost as hopeless as the job of 1776
once looked. At time when II 900, 900 people
have to be fed by the Government, it seems
foolish to talk Of a land in which poverty shall

Valley Forge could not kill it and the problems
of 1885 cannot, because it is the sort of thing
that does not die. 1t is still ours to remember

it will be translated into reality. From our
