...advance in shares discounted more than amply any likely increase in the earning power of most U. S. listed companies for 1925; and that the subsequent fall in prices represents an adjustment from over-optimistic hopes to saner and more realistic estimates. But the bulls still urge, and with equal force, the ease in money. The U. S. is piling up steadily huge amounts of capital which virtually seek investment. Last year, much of it flowed into foreign loans, and much into home securities, driving up their price rapidly in the Stock Exchanges. Although the latter movement has apparently halted...
...show is all set, if they give as good a performance as at 12 o'clock Friday night. If the actors can equal the dancers in assurance, the show will rival its professional contemporaries.

All men are not born equal, nor is their training equal; lastly, they do not work equally hard. Each freshman admitted to college is certified usually only by the fact that he has met certain tests--imperfect, and restricted to the intellectual. A college can take care of only those who can and are willing to meet its standards. Those...
