WHETHER the stock market goes up or down,
w here are few ABC's to keep in mind regarding
the general economic condition of the country.
l. The stock market CANDLES on the future. When
the market is going up the boys along Wall Street
always overestimate prosperity. When the market is
going down, they always overestmate depression.
That is why they boosted stocks far beyond the values
justified by dividends and that is why they have
pulled them down to levels where they are bargains.
When the wise boys in the big investment companies
start swapping up stocks you can be sure that this So
2 There already have been two major stock
ket slumps since the New Deal got under way-one in
July 1888 and in the spring of 1935both about the
,r- c,-.-- c. the present, but with
49, permanent effect on the business
upturn. Temporary recessions of
this kind have always occurred when the nation
pulling itself out of depression.
g. The lush, freefor-all days of good old fashioned
prosperity, when there unemployment and
everyone potential millionaire gone forever
We might as we'll recognize this. The sooner we do
the better off we will be.
Old-fashioned prosperity was based free land,
on the evermoving westward frontier lmitess for
ests-no worries about soil erosion no expense of fer
tlization. Wealth came to almost anyone who was
willing to work. But today the frontier be pushed
back no further We have reached the point of dmin
ishing returns.
Future prosperity will never be as easy the old
days, but it be steadier and heathier-if we are
careful. It can follow slow, consistently upward
curve-if the stock market doesn't

A' OO" D' '"'"0 only do this through increasing
wages in the group of ow-bracket buying power.
The purchasing power of the large spenders, the
farmers and the industrial workers. is the key to the
situation. Individually they don't spend much In
mass their potential buying power is tremendous.
That is why the wages -and-hours bill and the farm
bill important at the next session of Congress.
If the President does not allow himself to be sabo-
tagged by Solid South members of his own party, more
interested in States rights and sectional supremacy
than in the welfare of the nation these two bills
make very important contribution to the permanent
upward swing.

Double Parking Nuisance

Undoubtedly everyone inter.
ested in any method that will
solve some of the Districts most
perplexing motor vehicle and
railway traffic problems will
concur with the statement Of
Secretary Of the Interior 1ckes
to the effect that "if main thor
oughfares were patrolled vigor-
ously, a system Of staggered
hours for Government employees
would not be necessary"
Mr.. Ickes showed that he is
well acquainted with the angles
which bring about some Of the
Districts most trying traffic
congestions, n amely, double
parking, lettering by drivers,
drivers making wrong turns and
ignoring stop signs, disregard of
one:way traffic streets during
rush hours and so on. It might
have been well to add that some
drivers deliberately plum 6 e
through red lights, too.
On the subject Of double park
ing, the writer can add a word,
too. If Messrs. Hazen ct al

Everything Comes
From Imagin ton
Look around you! Everything
that you see is the result Of
imagination. Before anything
can be built by the hands, it
must first be born in the brain.
Before a thing can be expressed
in MATTER, it must exist in
THOUGHT. And this applies to
the mental and moral world as
we'll as the material.
Every brave and audacious
deed, every beautiful creation,
every scientific discovery, has
been achieved by the use Of
imagination. We cannot even
know romantic love without
imagination. Yet there Is no
part Of our lives concerning
which we're more Indifferent or
misinformed.

dreds of requests received during
the season, DR.. Hans Kinder is
placing numbers on both programs
that will provide Washington mu-
sic lovers with q real pop con-
cert.
The first half of the Easter con-
cert will be "all Viennese," featur-
ing Schubert's Unfinished Sym

present one of Tschaikowsky's
most popular works, and Wagner's
'Tannhauser Overture" The pro-
gram follows: Overture to Mar

cracker Suite" was a particular
favorite, receiving more requests
than any other work outside the
symphony class.
Percy Granger is no stranger
to Washington audiences, although
he has not appeared here with the
National Symphony Orchestra for
four years. The renowned pianist
and composer has appeared with
the orchestra on two previous &C.
casionS. He was one of the or
chestra's Soloists in it's first sea-
son in 1928. His popularity re-
suited in another engagement for
the following season.
Since then, his time has been
occupied in concertizing through
out the world, and in composing
the songs and symphonic works for
which he is as famous as he is for
his virtuosic talents.
Granger was born in 1882 in
Melbourne, Australia. His first
music lessons were from his mother
and a Melbourne music teacher.
On the proceeds from several re-
citalS, he travelled to Germany and
studied with Kwast and BuSoni. In
1900 he went to London, begin.
ming series of remarkable con-
certs that made him known to and
admired by British music lovers.
In the Leeds, England, music
festival in 1907, he played the solo
part in Grieg's piano concerto. The
composer had been engaged to con.
duct the performance, but died
only month before the recital
Grieg had chosen Granger, whom
he held high esteem, to be the
soloiSt for the occasion.

SHIFT CONTROL
OF HOSPITALS,
CITIZENS PLEA
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

The Federation of Civic Associa-
tons last night unanimously in
dorsed a resolution by j. c. Payne,
of the committee on public health,
favoring transfer of control of
municipal hospitals, and super
vision of all other such public in
Btitutions, from the Board of Pub
lie welfare to the Health Depart
ment.
The federation opposed an ap-
plication to transfer wholesale
license at So o st. N. W. from the
present owner to the District
Wholesale Corporation.
The federation agreed to spon-
sor an annual service award for
outstanding accomplishments by
any member of its unit groups.
Procedure Changed
Resolutions were adopted direct
ing the executive committee, be-
fore taking final action on mat
tiers before it, to report to the
full meeting for consideration.
It was announced that the Com
missioners had appointed William
L. Houston. member of the Citi-
zens Efficiency Committee, to in
vestigate District Building condi-
tons.
Traffic lights were asked for
Washington Circle, and at the in
tersection of New Hampshire
Avenue and L and Twenty-second
Streets Northwest.
Traffic Change Opposed
Vigorous opposition was regis
tered by the Burroughs Citizens
Association last night to a plan,
proposed by the Director of Traf-
fic, to divert all heavy traffic
through South Dakota Avenue and
Eighteenth Street Northeast.
Opposition also was voiced to a
request from the Council of Social
Agencies asking support for an
appropriation of $2,456,000 for Dis
trict relief. The amount called for
in the 1898 District budget was
deemed sufficient to supply nor
NAL needs.
New members elected were G. V.
Thompson, L. D. Woods, T. D.
Lewis, C. j. Housler, L. E. Dahl.
steadt, M. R. Cove, R. Beck and
