Britain remained practically sta
tionary. namely, over 100000, 900
pounds sterling. but the public debt
OF the United States rose from
SIG, 900, 100000, 10 $4,000, 5000
The data available shows then
that whereas the 1929 depression
hit all the principal countries most
OF the industrial countries recover
ed by 1925, but the United States
and France did not recover, instead
continuing in an economic depres-
sion from which they showed no
signs OF recovery. In such coun.
tries as the United States and
France. the depression seemed to
have become permanent condi-
ton. France fell in war and the
United States did not recover until
its industries received war orders.
The present prosperity in the Unit
ed States is direct product OF
the war and is paid for out of
taxes and increased public debt
which is now 100000, 100000.
These figures are beyond dispute.
What is in dispute are the causes
OF the prolonged depression and
the responsibility for its prolonga-
ton. There will probably never be
agreement over these questions.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his supporters
will insist that the depression
would have been worse and the
sufferings greater were 1t not for
the measures he took to fight them.
Mr.. Dewey and his supporters will
continue to insist that the New
Deal confusions were alone respon-
sible for the continuance OF the de-
preston in the United States after
the other principal industrial coun-
tries of the world had recovered
from it, 1t is significant that the
two great countries which did not
recover, the United States and
France. employed similar novel de-
vices. whereas those that did re-
cover trusted. on the whole, to old
fashioned. tried procedures.

Germs itself with matters which are
by now fully documented and about
which there should no longer be
any doubt. AS far back as 1886
the Brookings Institute OF Wash
ington, ID. c., published a full re-
port on this subject entitled, The
Recovery Problem in the United
States" and its general conclu.
sions and statistical data have been
confirmed by other studies, includ-
ing government reports. Dealing
with the world upact of Depres-
sion, it shows what happened in 20
countries. most OF which, including
the United States, commenced to
recover from the 1929 depression
in 1892. Let me give their tabu-

of this world depression:

Germany, Hungary. Chile, Es-

Great britain. Rumania, Denmark
Japan. Greece, and Russia had fully
recovered by 1885. The United
States was pushing upward be-
tween the middle of 1892 and 1885.
But the United States continued in
a secondary depression through
out this period and finally hit an
other stronger Oppressive trend in
1897 which lasted until the war

A. L. P.:-You recently stated
that ordinary badness was not TO
be confused with alopecia areatea
which is a form of badness that
can be cured. How can alopecia
areatea be distinguished and what
is the cure?
A.: In alopecia areatea there is
rapid and complete loss Of hair in
patches. Gradually on the bald
patches new hair grows in. 1t oc-
ours in people Of any age, even
quite young. The treatment usu-
ally given is by sunlight, ultra

The season has arrived when
nothing could be better than a good
Pot Roast
A four-pound pot roast will serve
six persons. Or if only three or four
persons are served, the leftover
roast may be utilized for making
sandwiches for the lunch box, In
hash, or in turnovers.
Brown meat in 3 tablespoons
drippings. Season to taste. Be sure
to brown on both sides and ends
Add II cup water (no more) and
place in either slow oven, 800 de-
grees, and cook for 3 hours, or sim
mer on top of stove for that time or
until tender. 1t may be necessary
to add little more water from
time to time. About 80 minutes
before the meat is done put small
whole carrots or halved larger ones
and small onions in the covered pan
with the meat.
There is more than one cut of
beef to make this favorsome dish.
Beef shoulder, chuck, blade bone,
homeless neck and rump all make
good pot roasts. Whatever the cut,
fiat, triangular, or round, they all
go through the same process to be-
come tender pot roast. A heavy
iron or aluminium kettle is the best
type of utensil to use, but it is
essential that the meat be cooked
SLOWLY. While it SINNERS the
rich beef flavor will be brought out
The pot roast is also a time and fuel
saver as the vegetables can be
cooked with the meat, thus eliml-
mating separate pans in which to
cook the vegetables. If you want
to serve baked potatoes, to have q
texture contrast to the softer vege-
tables cooked with the meat, you
can bake them at the same time. Or
better still, cook the potatoes along
with the roast and other vegetables.
