"It isn't how much money is in circulation but how fast it circulates, that counts," he said, in substance. "One dollar will do the work of two dollars, if it moves from hand to hand twice as fast." Money lying idle in bank is not working. It is only when money is being spent that commodities move, factory wheels revolve, workers are kept on the payroll. In the reaction from an orgy of reckless spending, we seem to have swung almost as far the other way, into a state of mind which can only be called miserly. People are timid about letting go of a dollar for any purpose—and in communities all over the nation able-bodied men are peddling on the streets or taking money from charitable organizations for the support of their families. This is more particularly true in the large cities; the country regions and the small towns have not felt the depression as keenly as have the large centers of population. Yet everybody in the United States, broadly speaking, knows that money is not circulating as fast today as it was a year ago, and that people who owe money are finding it hard to get cash with which to meet their obligations. That would not be the case if everybody who has somethingucked away would spend some of it now for the useful, necessary things which are needed and which eventually be bought anyway. All kinds of merchandise are cheaper now than for years. To buy the necessary things now is economy. There is not a home in the land in which there are not some repairs to be made, some contemplated additions or improvements to be installed, some new furnishings required. To attend to those things now means putting money into circulation at a time when it is actively needed. Ten dollars spent today will do the community That would not be the case if everybody who has somethingucked away would spend some of it now for the useful,necessary things which are needed and which eventually be boughtanyway.

To attend to those thingsnow means putting money into circulation at a time when it isactively needed. Ten dollars spent today will do the communitymore good than a hundred dollars spent a year from now. We have said it before, but it is still good advice. Take advantage now of the low cost of almost everything and do thoselittle things around the house that will not cost much but whichwill help move merchandise and put money into worker's pockets. JUDGE THE FUTURE FROM THE PAST It is a common human failing to believe that whenever afall occurs in the progress of humanity, conditions are going tocontinue to get worse instead of picking up again and going onas before. Nothing like that has ever happened yet. Just 100 yearsto Thomas Babington Macaulay, the famous historian andessayist, phrased the thought this way: "On what principle is it that when we see nothing butimprovement behind us we are to expect nothing but deteriorationbefore us?" Human progress, whether in material achievements or social morality, is continuous. It has been continuous from the beginningof time, and will be continuous to the end of time. Butwe do not always move at the same pace. We might liken thepath of the human race to a flight of stairs on which, at irregularintervals, there are long landings across which we must proceedwithout gaining height, until we come to the next flight of stairs. But the next flight, when we get to it, always leads up, neverdown! Just now the whole world is on one of the stopping-placeson the upward flight of progress. We do not know how longwe may have merely to keep on an even keel, as it were, but wecan be very positive that wherever we may go from here it willbe to a higher level of all that counts in human life. CONGRESS The Congress which is now in session is the same that satlast Spring. The new Congress does not take office untilthe fourth of March. This a survival of ancient days, when it tookweeks or even months for members of Congress to reachWashington from their homes, and the men elected in November couldhardly be expected to get to their new job under three or fourmonths. "Lame Ducks" in Congress—men who are still holding theirseats although not re-elected—may make plenty of trouble beforethis short session is over. There is the question of our participationin the World Court, for example, which might result inadebate which would tie up all other legislation in the Senate.The logical thing would be for the Congress which supposedlyrepresents the present state of the public mind, to take hold of thereins of Government at once. Nowhere else in the world do thehold-overs have anything to say after an election.

The logical thing would be for the Congress which supposedly represents the present state of the public mind, to take hold of the reins of Government at once. Nowhere else in the world do the hold-overs have anything to say after an election. To change the present system would require an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We think that everybody would be in favor of that. There is no place in the United States from which a member elected the first week in November cannot get to Washington in time for a session beginning the first week in December. And while we are changing the Constitution, why not change the date of Presidential inaugurations? March is the worst month in the whole year in Washington. Why shouldn't the President elected in 1932, whoever he may prove to be, take his seat in the White House immediately after his election? SAVING LABOR IN PUBLIC OFFICES The United States has gone farther than any other country in the process of the development of machinery and the application of power of the production of the articles of man's needs and desires. In the functioning and operation of government the progress, however, has been slow. Many labor saving devices have been applied. Bookkeeping machines, tabulating machines, electric calculators, efficient indexing and filing systems are becoming almost universal. However, many devices, proven in the business world, have not been adopted in government. Some of these devices would make possible immense savings of the taxpayers' money. This method is no longer in the experimental stage. It has been tried and found to meet every test. It is superior to any other method of recording that has, as yet, been invented. It is very permanency; of demonstrated effectiveness, as measure by the percentage of documents which can be copied; and it is of absolute accuracy. The California Legislature of 1931 might facilitate business in public offices by adopting a law which will make permissive the use by the counties of California of this up-to-date method of recording, 1931 Rose Tournament Queen MISS MARY LOU WADDELL has just been proclaimed Queen of the Tournament of Roses to be held January 1 at Pasadena, California.

PICTURES OF HEART BEATS The cardiograph, an electrically operated machine which literally takes a graphic motion picture of the beats of a living heart and adds physicians to determine what part or parts of the heart are not functioning properly, is now a common-place object in such modern hospitals and clinics as the University of California Hospital and its out-patient department. This statement was made by Dean Angley Porter of the University Medical School in answer to inquiries concerning the use of this complicated apparatus in the laboratories of the hospital. The name "cardiograph," he explains, means, literally, "heart writing." Its discovery may be traced back to laboratory experiments on the contraction of muscles in beginning physiology classes at various schools. In these experiments the contraction of a frog's muscles was stimulated by mild electric currents, and the degree of contraction was recorded by a line automatically scratched on a revolving disk of smoke-blackened paper. In the cardiograph, however, the action of the heart produces an electric current which when amplified by a galvanometer, causes a fine quartz thread to vibrate. These vibrations are so very fine that they must be observed under a microscopic lens. They are enlarged and recorded on a slowly moving photographic film. This film has given doctors a new conception of the heart action. Diseased parts of the heart are indicated by changes in the line photographed on the film. By use of certain drugs known to have selective action on certain parts of the heart, the function of the heart can be studied in detail on the cardiograph records, and the physician can prescribe more intelligently.

Pure white collars and cuffs are the favorite with the black costume, and all sorts of charming things have been done with white georgette which is more appropriate for autumn cloth or silk dresses than organdie or other cotton materials. Real lace is frequently seen with black velvet woven, as every one knows is to occupy an important position in the fashion panorama for autumn. Occasionally pastel-toned georgette or crepe de chine is used for accessories on darker-toned dresses. A soft powder blue collar or bertha may be seen on some of the new wine-colored dresses, and the same tone of blue as well as light tones of pink is used on black as an exception to the rule of black and pure white. The skirt of this blue canon crepe dress has wide side pleats and the crepe de chine collar and cuffs are finished with narrow pleating.
