When the Shoe Pinches U1WORRIED childhood may turn thought toward to-ward such matters as inflation, economic 'fluctuation and the peaks and valleys pictured in business charts as they discover that these things are becoming a real concern of theirs. Rising prices have been anticipated as a result of strikes, increased wages, wider employment and other factors involving more complicated phases of the law of demand and supply.
