Consider, too, the sociological import of such an event. The working man may abandon overalls in favor of riding breeches, after catching sight of Mr. van Harlem, so attired, leap from his car and scale a Fifth Avenue traffic tower to find stop it's mystic clue. Or Mrs. Bourgeoise may have her life utterly wrecked by picking up an odd piece of paper on which is written. "Mayor Hylan will give you the root of all evil. Follow the Green Line." Or behold the devastation wrought in countless lives by a joyous debutante Pippa, as she acorns New York...

January is usually a month of "easier money" and this year proves no exception. Funds released from the heavy borrowings for the holiday trade and year- end settlements are seeking investment. Money rates have been somewhat weak and symptoms of a rise in bond prices ?a good sign of lowering interest rates ?have been apparent. Still the stream of gold imports flows into our Federal Reserve banking system, whose ratios are at record levels...
