WORLD-WIDE DEPRESSION In the United States when there are hard times the tendency is to blame the party in power, whether the party is responsible or not, and to take it out on the candidates at the polls. In South America they have a different system. There they seem to believe in direct action, and instead of voting out the government, some nations are apt to put it out by armed revolution. The present depression is world wide, and the evidence that South America has not escaped is evidenced by the over turning of the governments of Peru and Argentina during the past few weeks. There are rumors of trouble in other Latin-American countries, even in Brazil, which nation has had few internal difficulties during the past decade or two. The most important overturning perhaps was that in Argentina. Her foreign trade, to speak in approximate proportion, is twice that of Brazil and five times that of Chile. In 1929 we exported more than $200,000,000 worth of goods to the South American republic. At the same time, Argentina is Uncle Sam's most serious rival in the New World for foreign trade. This is because Argentina, in the southern temperate zone, raises approximately the same crops that we do. RELATIONS WITH ARGENTINE As a result of trade rivalries and some hostile propaganda against America the relations between our own country and the RELATIONS WITH ARGENTINE As a result of trade rivalries and some hostile propaganda against America the relations between our own country and the Argentine Republic have been none too cordial during the past several years. Irigoyen, the president of the republic, recently deposed, was particularly unfriendly to the United States. He withdrew the Argentine ambassador from Washington more than two years ago, and has sent no one to replace him. When the sixth Pan-American conference was held at Havana in 1928, the Argentine administration recalled its delegation because it opposed some of Mr. Hughes' proposals made for the good of the conference on behalf of the United States. And during the conference it seemed that the Argentine delegates were doing their best to embarrass Uncle Sam. And again Argentina refused to be represented at the Pan-American conference on conciliation and arbitration held at Washington in 1928 and 1929. OPERATIONS OF TARIFF LAW Senator Barkley, of Kentucky, declares after a visit to Europe that a decline of one billion dollars in American exports during the first six months of this year was due to the new tariff law. That seems a bit curious, in view of the fact that the new tariff law did not go into effect until about the end of that six months period, and no one had any way of determining prior to the passage of the act just what would be in it when finally enacted. The decline of our exports was due in part to the decline of commodity values and of foreign purchasing power caused by depression abroad. In part it is due to the removal of foreign cheap labor markets of some two thousand American factories, which now not only supply a part of our foreign markets, but with Senator Barkley's assistance, have been trying to displace in our markets the output of American factories handicapped in competition with higher wage costs. Senator Barkley's cure for unemployment is to admit into the United States a greater quantity of this output of foreign cheap labor. It does not seem to be a very intelligent method of putting more American workmen on the job. NO WEAPONS NEEDED Owing to the tenseness of public feeling during the recent German election the government prohibited the carrying of revolvers, knives and similar weapons on election day. But the communists and fascists immediately set about destroying each other with beer steins. Which shows that when people want to fight they will fight whether they have warships or not. There is a lesson in this for the pacifists. The most brutal and bloodiest wars in history, taking into account the number of men engaged, were fought in the days when the war club was regarded as the latest thing in implements of destruction. Even if the world were now entirely disarmed and somebody wanted to fight, there would still be plenty of bricks and baseball bats handy. Unfortunately, the urge to fight cannot be abolished by statutory enactment. volvers, knives and similar weapons on election day.

THE COUNTRY ALWAYS "COMES BACK" It is not necessary to state that the country has been going through an economic depression during the past year. It is a depression which is world wide and which attacked the United States long after it had laid low the other nations of the world. As a result, a great many people are as overly pessimistic as others were over-optimistic just before the stock market crash in October. They have now convinced themselves that we will never achieve prosperity again in this generation, and that things were never so bad before. All of which is, of course "the bunk." It may take a little time to get back where we were, but there is no doubt that the signs pointing to improvement are increasing. For instance, Uncle Sam's foreign trade made a sizeable gain in August over July, the first in many months. Commodity prices, with the exception of wheat, are showing signs of stability and improvement, and the usual seasonal improvement which comes with the autumn is at hand. The year 1931 barring unseen developments will be better than the year 1930. So much for undue pessimism about the future. Now it is equally erroneous to believe that things were never so bad before. There have been many worse depressions in the past. Pessimism has been rife before even in this generation. Less than ten years ago people thought then that we would never get over post war deflation. Yet between that date and the present we have enjoyed the greatest era of prosperity in the history of the country. Within a few months after these gloomy conditions were pictured, factories were running again and the unemployment problem vanished. Within a year business was running in high gear. It is well to remember these things in a time when the pessimists once more can see a silver lining in the clouds. Again and again this country has experienced a slump, and come back again stronger than ever. Since the hard times of 1920-21 we had a period of unprecedented business activity, of rising wages and of rapidly improving conditions for every element of our population but the farmer, who was harmed to such an extent by the deflation of 1920-21 that he has never fully recovered, NOW GO ON WITH They were in her shop now she rose and walked down, where she stood with her back to him Something in her man feel that he could follow so, and stood beside their first evening top room.

Miss Nobody from Nowhere BY ELIZABETH JORDAN Sixteenth Installment WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Standing on a New York street corner, a young woman suddenly discovers that she does not know her own name nor how she got there. Everything in her past is a blank. She knows only that her name is "Eve." She meets a young man who lives at the hotel where she is registered as Eve Nobody of Nowhere, which she had written in French. Eric Hamilton calls in a nerve specialist, but Eve slips out of the hotel, goes to a little apartment house, where she meets a professional dancer who gets her a job in a cabaret. As a cabaret hostess she meets many curious people. Then, one night, a man who claims to recognize her comes in. She is afraid of him and runs away back to the hotel to Eric Hamilton. She has her hair dyed and changes her manner of dress so that the stranger out of her old life will not recognize her. Then Hamilton persuades her to go through a marriage ceremony with him. As they return to the hotel the man she fears is waiting. Hamilton sends her up stairs and turns to the other man, who says his name is Samuel Henderson of Chicago. Henderson identifies Eve to Hamilton. She is Eve Carfrington, a famous concert singer and Henderson was not only her manager but had hoped to marry her. She had collapsed after trying to save four children of a friend from an overturned rowboat in Lake Michigan, two of them drowning before her eyes. She had slipped away from the nurse on guard in Chicago and completely vanished. The shock of the death of the two little boys coupled with her fear of Henderson had caused her loss of memory. Hamilton tells the whole story to big friend, Dr. Carfrick, who is able to assure Eve that there is nothing in her old life that she needs to fear, while he considers how to bring her memory back. Eve and Hamilton find themselves on a very friendly footing, while waiting for Dr. Carfrick's attempt to bring her memory back to her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY They were in her sitting-room, and now she rose and walked to the window, where she stood for a moment with her back to him, looking out. Something in her manner made him feel that he could follow her. He did the happiest and the most patient lover you can imagine." She continued to look up at him and he bent with an inarticulate murmur and laid his cheek against hers. For an instant they clung together, while he felt her tears on his face. Then she spoke. "Now I have done it!" she brought out with a childish gulp of contrition. "Now I've dragged you into the very heart of this hideous tangle. I hate myself for doing it—for letting you know I care. But oh, Erie, how could I help it!" He released her and stood back, steady-eyed but trembling under his apparent calmness. "That's that," he cheerfully announced. "Now we'll go down to lunchcon. And tonight we'll take in a musical comedy and drop in at Jake's afterward." "And I'll have to put on the same dancing-frock wore there every night," she smiled, gallantly playing up. "I cause I haven't anything else." "But what about the dyded hair? You certainly don't have to go around now with it looking this way?" he pointed out. They stared at each other in consternation. "Migter lunch I'll go up to the beauty parlor," she decided, "and ask them to get rid of it for me. That will give you an afternoon off duty." As the visit to Jake's drew nearer she found herself growing nervous. "Perhaps he won't even speak to me," she told Hamilton when they were entering the big dancing-room toward midnight. "Oh, I guess he will." Hamilton spoke soothingly, but it was clear that the matter of Jake's reception was not burdening his mind. Nor did the place disturb him, as he had expected it to. He was now in a state of well-being nothing could ruffle. Eve loved him... Hamilton took the whole story to big friend, Dr. Carrick, who was able to assure Eve that there is nothing in her old life that she needs to fear, while he considers how to bring her memory back. Eve and Hamilton find themselves on a very friendly footing, while waiting for Dr. Carrick's attempt to bring her memory back to her. "You're right," she said quietly. "I love you. I didn't realize it till this week. I didn't want you to know it now. But I suppose I've been showing it every time I looked at you or spoke to you." "Eve!" her expression stopped his speech and held him motionless. "I love you," she repeated. "But I'll never marry you, really, till I'm absolutely myself again." "And when you've absolutely yourself again," he almost groaned, "You won't know me at all, My God, Eve! think what you're condemning us to, if this thing lasts!" "An think what I'd condemn us to if I married you while I'm like this and then—" she felt for the right words and verbally underlined them—" came back to find myself the wife of a stranger. That's the way it's said to be, you know, in these cases." "But you love me now," he cried. "You've said so! I can't take it in yet, but you've said so!" "Oh, yes I love you now." She added slowly. "And I'm depending on you to keep me from making any mistake in that, just as I'm depending on you in everything else." There was a moment's silence while the full significance of the admission came to him, and the earth rocked. The combined love and pity he felt for her in that moment was the most shattering emotion he had ever known. He wanted to seize her and hold her; he wanted to kneel at her feet. He took her hands and looked down at her. "Eve," he said, as steadily as she had spoken. "if I've won you once, and thank God!—you say I have, I can do it again! And in the meantime I'll be get rid of it for me. That will give you an afternoon off duty." As the visit to Jake's drew nearer she found herself growing nervous. "Perhaps he won't even speak to me," she told Hamilton when they were entering the big dancing-room toward midnight. "Oh, I guess he will." Hamilton spoke soothingly, but it was clear that the matter of Jake's reception was not burdening his mind. Nor did the place disturb him, as he had expected it to. He was now in a state of well-being nothing could ruffle. Eve loved him. Incidentally, he played the game as she would wish him to play it. Looking very handsome in his evening clothes, he followed the waiter to the table he had reserved, and consulted Eve at every stage of an elaborate supper order. She, however, found it hard to fix her mind on that vital interest. Her eyes were busy. She saw Malzie and Stella at the far end of the dancing floor, but apparently neither saw her. Queenie and Ivy were not in the room However, the night was young and they would surely appear later. She stared around her, intrigued by the chance to study as an observer the scene in which she had so often taken a professional part. In all her nights there she had never been able to sit at a table and really give her eyes to the tableau as a whole, and she did it now, while Eric and the waiter, the latter a man she had not seen before, continued to concentrate their thoughts on the supper problem. It was met at last and as Eric straightened, prepared to give his attention to his companion, a familiar voice spoke to Eve. It was Jake's, and the new-comers were now subjected to the oftfulness of his best professional manner. "Good evening, sir. Good evening, madam. Is everything all right?" He recalled the departing waiter, gave him instructions for very special service, and, as the man departed, turned away, making it plain to Eve that no intimation of their former acquaintance would come from him. "One moment, please," Eve said; and as he stopped she added quickly: "I came in to apologize again for leaving you so suddenly; and I've brought my husband with me. We were married the day after I left here." She had never before seen Jake smile. The phenomenon was worth witnessing, for it made Jake's cold marriage, but Ivy's unwinkling blue eyes never left the bridegroom. "Any chance of coming back?" Queenie asked nonchalantly. "Not the least." Eric said before she could speak. "I pose you know your gentleman friend from Chicago's been blowing in and out since you faded away." Queenie went on thoughtfully stirring an oyster in its tomato bath. "But don't worry, dearie, for he didn't get a thing on you here." "We didn't know a thing to give him," Ivy tactlessly contributed. "We wouldn't of told it if we had," Queenie austerely pointed out, and with a disgusted glance at her friend swallowed the oyster. Jake reappeared when Eve and Hamilton were leaving and gave them another excellent imitation of his great cabaret model. He also offered Eve a newspaper cutting and watched her face as she read it. It was Henderson's advertisement. She looked up, started, and handed it to Hamilton. "Has any one else seen this?" the latter asked quickly. "Nope. Wasn't sure the lady herself seen it. Thought I better put her wise." "Thank you." Eve said. "How long have you known about it?" "Saw it the day it came out. Recognized you from it the first night you blew in here," Jake admitted. "And you haven't spoken of it to any one else?" Eric asked. "Cert'n'y not. Nobody's business but the lady's." "You're even kinder than I thought you were." Eve said gratefully, and to Jake's surprise offered him her hand at parting. Eric, too, gave his hand a firm grip. "Sometimes, perhaps, I'll be able to explain," Eve went on. "I can't yet." Jake shook his shining black head and smiled his rare smile. "No explanations ne'essary," he gallantly told the lady. "But I'm sure glad to know everything's all right now." His black eyes were very human. "Glad some one's lookin' after her," he brought out in a rush. "Was kinda worried." It was his exit line from their house in triumphant vindication. Hamilton telephoned Carrick the confirmation of the manager's story and added a breathless question. "How much can I tell her?" "Nothing." Carrick rules. "But—" "Not one word! I've felt sure the story was straight, just as you did, so I've been getting ready. We'll make our experiment in a day or two, and I'll give you the details in an hour if you'll drop into my office. Can you get away from Miss Carrington long enough to do that." This was Carrick's idea of a joke and Hamilton ignored it. But he was on time for the appointment, and the psychiatrist, after greeting him exuberantly, talked for half an hour. "I think it's an awful risk." Hamilton muttered. "Are you setting up your judgment against mine?" "Yes." Carrick laughed. "Well, don't," he advised. "But I'll come down to the Garland during the morning and put Miss Carrington through some more tests," he added, relenting. Then he sent the anxious bridegroom out of his office with a friendly push on the shoulder. Hamilton was not an easy man to down. At five that afternoon he was again in Carrick's consulting room, expressing the additional doubts that had come to him after the unsatisfactory results of the tests. At last Carrick, despite long experience with the anxious friends of patients, lost his temper. "You realized, didn't you, that she didn't respond to any of the tests I made this morning?" he snapped. "You bet I did." "Not even the piano meant anything to her, did it?" "It didn't seem to." And she's still afraid—panicky at times? Yes. She says she has even given up the notes she made and carried around with her. They ended the day she left Jake's. All right, then. Do you want her to remain in this state indefinitely? "God knows I don't." you were," Eve said gratefully, and to Jake's surprise offered him her hand at parting. Eric, too, gave his hand a firm grip. "Sometimes, perhaps, I'll be able to explain," Eve went on. "I can't yet." Jake shook his shining black head and smiled his rare smile. "No explanations ne'essary," he gallantly told the lady. "But I'm sure glad to know everything's all right now." His black eyes were very human. "Glad some one's lookin' after her," he brought out in a rush. "Was kinda worried." It was his exit line from their lives. "And yet some people think this is a hard world," Eve told Hamilton as their taxi cab made its slow way through the Tenderloin's congested traffic. "I've had nothing but kindness. If I hadn't... I wonder what would have become of me if I'd had the sort of experience one often reads about?" "It doesn't bear thinking of," Hamilton recalled his thoughts in the night of Eve's disappearance and added hastily: "I'm glad we went to that place. Seeing it, and meeting that chap Jake, have changed my feelings about it." "I thought they would," Eve smiled. He glanced at her quickly. The Chicago agency's reply to Erie's telegram had promised a full report by mail. The document itself came on the morning of the fourth day. It was a complete report. It even included the names and addresses of Eve's Chicago physicians and of the nurse who had attended her. Out of it, moreover, Hen- ELKS WOMEN'S BRIDGE PARTY The women of the Elks club gave a successful bridge party Friday afternoon, which was attended by over 50 guests.
