The youth sat UP, startled. and
followed the direction of Jeannie's
outstretched hand.
On the rim of Wade's Hole
a figure was duly silhouetted
against the sky. He stood with his
back to the watchers, and his arms
were held forward as though they
supported considerable burden
of weight. They saw him bend for j,

burden was projected outwards

back and savagely kicked at some

They circled the great pit until

They were about to give up. and

Barney's questing feet brought up

down and ran uncertain fingers
along the prone form.
"Ifs woman" he said. "An'

At the landing she paused for

"You be in before twelve,

The girl ignored the remark and
skipped towards her own room on
the ground level. There she wrig-
gled into a thin dress and made
up her face before the mirror.
Within a few minutes she had left

important cause of the boOms of the past has been
imitation. --'-+'
SIMPLE ECONOMICS EXPLAINED
If the supply of goods available had kept up
with the supply of money, would have had no
imitation. But because of shorter hours and un-
necessary strikes production fell off; then the value
of the dollar fell likewise. People wanted to buy
goods with their high wages; goods were scarce.
Prices shot up; we had creeping imitation and an
artificial boom.
There is a point in this cycle where people,
banks, insurance companies, and other financial
houses begin to get worried about earnings. Exper-
fence tells them that boom times can't last forever
We may be approaching this point now. Already,
fOrty-hOur week. Some workers being laid of.
But no definite forecasting regarding 1853 should be
made at present. 1t looks as if we must await
1852 net earnings,-that is how much corporations
and families have left after paying their bills, wages
and taxes.
SANE RELIGION NEEDED
During this kind of a period, people begin to
worry. They again want money more than they
goods. Mortgage rates and business loan rates
to set in. This puts a damper good business.
People no longer have so much money or credit with
which to buy goods. Sales drop; production is cut
back; and unemployment is the way.

interest today. This lack always proceeds financial

Washington Snapshots

The Administrations practice of
"stOckpiling" money is under fire
as one of the causes of deficit finan-
cling.
"StOckpiling" money consists of
getting Congress to authorize ex-
penditures in excess of what will
be spent during a current fiscal
year. For instance, on last Febru-
ary 29, Treasury figures indicated
that "stOckpile" of more than
$97.G00,000,000 was available for
Federal spending as result of au-
thOrizatiOns and appropriations in
previous years.
Fund Huge
Quite aside from the appropria-
tiOns which this Congress will
make, the Federal agencies are free
to draw upon this stOckpile of dol
lars" Senator Everett Dirksen
pointed out recently.
"This astronomical money stock
pile will probably be reduced to
SIS, ,OOO,OOO,OOO, but if one adds the
$87 900, 100000 of spending author
ity requested for fiscal 1853, it adds
up to a monumental money pile of
$162,000,000,000 out of which Fed
eral agencies can spend"
More Spending Possible
AS a matter O1 TACT, testimony
before the House Appropriations
indicated that military spending
may be hiked above the estimates
in the Presidents budget. If so,
the deficit would be close to $17,-
0O0,00O,OO0, observers say. Senator
Dirksen said the deficit could be
even more than $17,0OO,0O0,00O,
since it's size depends entirely on
what the military and other agen-
cies may spend during the year.

Business today is not so bad as some would have

improve during the next few months. Consumer
durabes such as automobiles and washers, will
remain off from last year There will probably be
moderate improvement in the volume of business
by the third quarter. The BabsOnchart Index
is close to the low point for the past two and
half years. However, the current level of business
is still higher than in much of the 1940s.
