The Worlds Business
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Current signs of business improvement in the United States are of cardinal importance not only for this country but for the whole world The pre- cpitate drop of business in the United States during the past year has already reflected in decline Of foreign industrial activity outside of Russa) of about percent since last November according to The Annast's index. The continuation of depressed conditions here would unquestionably further imper world recovery
 The manner in which the depression that set in here last year has affected economic conditions in other countries shows more how interdependent the nations still are for all the present-day emphasis on nationalistic policies and 'sef-suffciency" Our latest depression made itself felt abroad primarily through reduced demand for the goods of other countries especially such imported materials for eur industries as rubber tin, silk and wool At first G1iN theEr exports to us were greatly affected Tn recent months however the fall in these exports and che lower prices which the agricultural and raw ma teral countries have received for what they have sul been able 10 sell have compelled both to cut down ulelr own purchases both from us and from the ether Industrial nations It is this spread of the recession to the markets of the foreign industrial nations that has increasingly threatened to convert into new world depression what at first was from q world point of view a comparatively local setback
 IT, therefore, this country is really entering upon period of recovery, there is reason to hope that the growing recession abroad may be checked before the infection becomes serious This is the more important to us because, just the recovery outside the United States from mid-1932 onward helped to lift our own nation out of its difficulties so continued downward trend of business abroad at the present tune would equally impede our revival through its effects on the markets for cur exports
 Of even more consequence, however is the in creased danger of unrest and of war implicit in a new world depression. The renewed and accentlated distress that would follow in the wake of another prolonged decline would almost inevitably increase the appeal of military solutions for national problems n Inc itpd Ctatoc to be important for the peace of the world as for our prosperity.

Jack Morgan, Farm Hand
Cincinnati Enauirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 He was willing farm hand, but trifle green. " Thus Central Indiana farmer described young man who had been working for him recently until an attack of appendicitis made it necessary for him to go to hospital for operation.
 The willing farm hand" it developed at the hos pital was John Pierpont Morgan III, of the noted banking family. Young Morgan had gone to Indiana to study farming from a farmers standpoint And, having hired himself out a farm hand was acquir- ing an intimate knowledge of how hay finds it's way into those neat cupoa-shaped stacks in the field how stables are kept clean and how are persuaded give up their milk
 It's to be regretted that appendicitis betrayed the secret that Jack Morgan" farm hand was John Perpont Morgan III. That is it's to be regretted on his account, because it may render it little more difficult for him to resume his incognto quest of practical knowledge of farming. At the same time it's welcome news that honest apprenticeship still is recognized as valuable experience even among those who can afford not to start at the bottom Maybe the country isn't going to the dogs after all

 Benefic aspects dominate today, according to astrology. The plane tary government favors property adjustments, especially where older relatives are concerned.
 Tn the early morning the mind should be clear and keen. The first consideration of the day should be directed toward possible stability and security in financial matters.
 While there is a promising sign for those who seek employment, labor troubles may interfere with industries usually not affected by strikes.

 Both men and women whose am- bitions have been rewarded are most fortunate while this rule pre- vails. The stars seem to presage pro- lection for well-established persons.
 Governors, mayors and others who exercise authority will be for tunate today in sustaining popular ity in hard-earned positions.
 This is not an suspicious date for the signing of legal papers. Busi- ness or government contracts should be postponed before final agree ments are made.
 The evening is a happy time for meetings, banquets and conferences. Leaders will be well directed by the planets which encourage speech making.

sary, desirable things in the least expensive way, without over-step- ping budgets.
 So do not think, when making up your food budget that you will serve any good end if you cut des- serts from daily menus. The better plan is to see that each dessert con- tributes its full share of nutriment to the meal and that the cost of its ingredients, when added to the cost of the other courses, does not bring the cost of the entire meal beyond the sum you have set for it.
 For example, simple gelatin des- sert is attractive, appetizing and very inexpensive, but not as nutri- tious as baked custard made with eggs and rich milk or cream. There fore we must make up for its lack of food value by adding more to the other courses and no great differ ence in the cost of the meal results in the end. On the other hand if the baked custard with its greater cost, is balanced by a main course that is relatively inexpensive, we may have this more satisfying des- sert without feeling we are extrava- gant.

warmth in the home.
 So once again hark back to my old warning, do this in the morning and do it well, by serving 8 very substantial breakfast. Start your blood stream bouncing along first with an internal bath of fruit juices, which give the body vitamins; then a potion of starch, carbohydrates and fats, in the way of cooked breakfast foods, 8 sweetening and milk. Then your protein, which may be eggs, fish, meat or bacon, with 8 little more starch in the form of bread, toast, mullins or biscuits.
 To make the meal more palatable for adults coffee. For chil- dren, milk or hot milk drinks. This is an outline for the morning fuel ing of the human furnace, but for best results, vary the foods under each classification or flckle appe- tite will refuse the required amount of fuel needed for the morning school work. Breakfast is the most important meal of all; the stomach has rested for practically 12 hours and it needs energy to meet de- mands of another day.
 For very different hot bread for your planned breakfast try this new and stsrtling one:
 Mincemeat Breakfast Buns
 IA cup soft butter
 2-3 cup brown sugar
 cups flour.
 4 tablespoons baking powder
 l teaspoon salt
 tablespoon sugar
 tablespoons butter
 tablespoons butter
 egg
 2-3 cup milk
 one-pound can mincenleat
 1-3 cup brown sugar
 Cream the quarter cup soft but ter and brown sugar and spread over bottom and sides of baking pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and rub in but ter. Add beaten egg mixed with the milk. Roll out in oblong shape. Heat mincement with brown sugar, cool slightly, then spread evenly over the rolled out dough then roll up like jelly roll. Cut in thick slices and lay cut side down and close together in the sugar and butter lined pan.. Bake for 25 minutes in 400 degree oven. Makes eight buns.
