Something was need- ed to steady everybody's nerves, to iput a stop to the wild speculating 'that has preVailed, the waste that was evident on every side, to place things generally on a sounder, firm- er basis.

And therein, I have decided, lies the secret why those who have once again. What is the use of having a. hundred high priced Iota if‘ nobody will buy them? Or of! owning aer leo fine houses if- the tenants are heaving them ? Or of being worth a |mifiion of money if one cannot oom« 'man-d a big enough inocme to Day ifor bread and cheese?
