Our Slump Worst

A CCORDING to the monthly bull
"A letin of the federal reserve
board, the present business depres-
sion is more severe in the United
States than in any other industrial
country in the world.
The manufacture of war materi-
ais in other countries was pointed
out, however, as one Of the prin-
cipal supports to business activity,
many other industries showing all
most as poor results as in the Unit
ed States.
The social security board report
ed that during March two out Of
every thirteen persons in the United
States received some form of pub
lie aid, federal, state or local. The
total number was estimated at 49,
100000. The statistics did not en-
brace farm subsidy payments, the
federal housing program and other
planned economy measures.

to see him slip something into the inner
pocket of his fur-lined leather jacket With
wildly beating heart she reflected that Axel
had just driven out of the yard to 60 to his
relatives twenty miles away, and would not
be back until tomorrow. And there was no

dragged on his arm with all her weight while

flung her aside at last, and how she lay inert
