If New Jersey would adopt the plan, it would draw ineome and population out of New York very fast. Mr. Rompf, looking out over the ocean and Biscayne bay, from the 15th story of his bank building, remarked, the strength of a bunk depends on the value of its securities. The value of securities depends on confidence Therefore, every banker should pray that the common man who hasnt much of a chance should continue patient, and not disturb anybody's confidence. The corner lot on which Mr. Rompf's First National bank stands, was bought by an elderly northerner from Brooklyn, N. Y., for fifteen hundred dollars. The northerners son had a guardian appointed, saying his father would rum himself. Mr. Rompf bought the corner lot for three thousand dollars, from the old northerner who had been put in a sanitarium, two of Mr. Rompf's principal stockholders said "If thats the way you are going to spend our money, we cant get out They delayed the quick enough. start of the bank sixty days. Later in the boom, Mr Rompf, offered two million dollars for that corner, said, "I wont take two million dollars, but I will take five .hundred thousand dollars cash.

A New York court, called on to survey the income the girl can get from a trust fund established by her grandfather, ruled that this sum will have to he sufI ficient. It is budgeted so that she can pay $800 a month for her apartment, $175 for chauffeur, maid and governess, $300 for clothing, MOO for traveling expenses, $G00 for food, and so on. Compare this with the assertion of Daniel A. Poling, addressing the New York Rotary dull, that the effect of the current hard times on the nations outh constituted a great and pressing problem. No war for which the nation gave her full energies, said Dr. Poling, has ever invited a greater tragedy than the present depression invites now in the area of Americas young life. And then let us lemember the cable dispatch from Ran Julian, Argentina, relating that Argentine sheep breeders have commenced the slaughter of some 60,000 sheep and the burning of their carcasses because they are unable to sell the animals at any price. We get a picture, here, of a world that seems to be more than a little bit cockeyed. Good mutton goes to the bonfire while thousands of men go hungry, one child gets $3000 a month to live on while innumerable others skid across poverty to the very edge of disaster of somewhere, somehow, things have gone sadly out joint. Yet there is no nouiishment in simply sitting back, wringing our hands and wailing that there is blood on the moon. The value of these little stories is that they help us to realize that some sort of reshuffle is needed. They prepare us for change; and when some leader in government or business offers us a new program we shall be ready to give it a sober, unbiased examination, unperturbed by the fact that it may be something which a few years ago we would have damned with the label, radical.
