alao reserved. ECONOMIC HOPE. A luncheon club speaker exhorts, "Now Is the time to get ready for returning good times." Everybody at the table nods approval. Not one has a doubt that "good times" will come back. The attitude is that of the athlete poised on the trapese ready to catch the returning bar and swing off for a swift flight.

That is a psychology inspired by the economists of recent years. The whole business world is obsessed by the idea that it' has to be sort of bob on a gigantic pendulum impelled by a force not well understood and alternating between fast swings and complete standstills. The hopfeul phase of such a frame of mind lies in the fact that nobody really despairs when motion slows down. The thought always is, "Hold fast; get ready for the next swing! A still more hopeful sign is revealed in the tendency to revolt against the whole pendulum notion. Economists and other keen observers of business affairs are proclaiming that business itself, and not some blind force or economic principle, is responsible for the present erratic conditions.

This seems sensible teaching. Here is a tremendous economic system built up by such genius as the world never before has known. It is backed by such an accumulation of available wealth as the world never before has had, and possesses resources in material and labor and craft wholly adequate to its needs for constant output. It is nonsense to say that such equipment should be controlled by unreasoning caprice or should run wholly uncontrolled till it breaks down periodically, wrecked by its own violence. BACK TO THE BANKS Sufficient time has now elapsed to convince the most nervous that the bank failure peak was passed in January.

February failures were only a little more than a third of the January number. March showed a corresponding improvement and the first two weeks of April escaped with only two national bank closings. These gains assume greater signficance when it is remembered that in the prosperity years of 1928 and 1929 the national bank suspensions numbered 71 and 69 respectively, and that over the nine-year period ending with 1929 the average was 77. Fewer, bank closings signify greater confidence, improved credit conditions and greater national stability. No doubt some of the new confidence is due to the throwing of the government's resources back of the country's banks through the reconstruction finance corporation.

For some weeks now there has been a continuous flow of currency back to the banks and a constant growth of gold stocks. This is an indication of less hoarding and a revival of public confidence. Most of the bank closings were due as much to panicky depositors as to financial unsteadiness. Now that the public has recovered some of its lost confidence in banks and bankers the latter might safely reciprocate by showing a spark of confidence in business and the people. 1912 -TWENTY YEARSAGO -1932 Good-Night Stories Bj MAX TttKLL Ttn littlt pins ittadiag la Ten little pitts tttntint on their toes, Ten littlf pins would like much tvrty.

THE WORLD AND ALL By CXAJUUBS An Arrow Dear Mr. Drlscoll: Do you remember the old gentleman. Alfred HelHwell. whom you met and talked with one day on the street car? Your account of the meeting. and the misfortune that had overtaken him in life, appealed to something in m3 so strongly, that I wrote a friendly letter to the old man.

received prompt reply and he was da- lighted that I would write to i m. Though life had treated him roughly you for the story you wrote, that made it possible for to do the little I have done. I thought perhaps you would be glad to know that you helped to make his life a bit happier. Very truly yours, Mrs. G.

R. Christiansen, 710 Washington Street, I Winona, Minn. Need I add anything to explain this oeautlful letter? I hardly think so. It was.on the Sttth Avenue Elevated that I met the old gentleman, and it was many mcnths ago. I confess I had forgotten all about him.

I remember It-, now quite clearly. I stepped on his foot in rising from my seat, and stopped to apologise. He mentioned that his giving him trouble, and we conversed. He had lost his sons and a daughter in the war, five children in all, if I remember correctly. His died of grief.

Then lost his fortune in a closed bank. He was on his way from his furnished room to the Battery to read a paper out of a trash can and watch the boats glide by. I told the story of the lonely old hero in this column, and gave hla address. This sympathetic woman in Minnesota read the column, and so the old gentleman's life was made a little brighter in its gray months. I am glad- And I cannot help thinkjng of that simple little poem of Longfellow's beginning, "I shot an arrow into the air." If I can shoot a few arrows in my lifetime that will bring some such help to human souls that suffer, I shall not complain that I have not been' given a battery 3f sixteen-inch guns to fire.
