BOOMS AND SLUMPS. ALE TRADE DEPRESSIONS
NECESSARY?
MR. MONEY'S VIEW,
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6cm, 1914,
The common acceptance of good trade and bad trade as dark and inevitable phenomena is unworthy of that human intellect which is capable not merely of embracing an absurdly small planet fettered by gravity to an inferior star, but of plunging the plumb-line of its thought and speculation into the cosmos itself.

becoming apparent.
Woman's dress is becoining more Orientalised every day, and Eastern fantasy is becoming the serious rival of
a fantastic Futurism Bond-street-and the Rue de la Paix now seek their inspira- tions from Ispahan, from the Pamirs and Mongolia.
Even drawing-rooms are coming under this wave of Oriental influence, and rare. china, rich needlework, Indian carvings, and ancient praying rugs from Bokhara The invasion of the East in woman's are obtaining a remarkable vogue mag dress may be traced in the following:
The Arah burnous.
The caftan
Turkish brigand cloaks." Indian and Turkish slippers. Persian hooped tunics. Turbans with plumes.
Jupanese "fan" sunshades. Willow pattern sunshades Mosque parasols.
ORGY OF COLOUR.
Paris is revelling in the splendours of the Orient-fashions that call to mind the legends of the Arabian Nights, the glamour of Tokyo and Peking, and the colour orgy of an Indian Durbar.
Extravagant,
The ense with which the Parisienne. assimilates. her clothes I can but regard as an effort of genius. daring, hizarre, grotesque, whatever the style may be, every dress exhales character and charm, and every woman wears her lovely clothes-perfectly.
The Parisienne, with her beautiful com- plexion, is always perfectly dressed; that is, the grande dame and the grande amouronse who are clothed by Poiret and Paquin. Englishwomen, lower to adopt- drastic changes in dress than this Parisian sistors, have quickly succumbed to the Oriental influence in frocks, which are no longer fashioned on one or two models, ns has been the case for the last fifty years, but are designed to suit the wearer.
Woman is the watchword, and the countersign is frocks-frocks which not only provide the most delightful and refreshing varieties of form and colour, but which emphasise independent feeling and character, and sweep away mero ephemeral prettiness.
How to keep Healthy
in the Hot Season.
"In the great heat of Laliore, where it is. especially trying, Mt. Kensington and I have taken Sanatogen, and we have both found it a wonderful reviver and nerve tonic.”
So writes the wife of Mr. Justice Kensington, and she adds: Sauatogen is also the best cure for digestive troubles that I have come across."
"J.
Now, it is your nerves and digestion which suffer most during the excessive heat, that is why you particularly need a course of Sanatogen at, this time of the year. Start taking it at once-it is certain to do you a great deal of good. It will enable you to stand the beat better, and to feel brighter and more vigorous, both physically and mentally, than would. otherwise be possible.
Enrich
your
Blood.
Not only do your nerves and digestion need Sapatogen-your blood needs it too. For the blood deteriorates at this season; it becomes deficient both in red corpuscles-the oxygen cartiers-and in white corpuscles, the policemen of the budy, whose duty it is to slay disease gerus when they get into. the system. Sanatogen greatly multiplies these red and white corpuscles, thereby invigorating the whole system and increasing its powers of resistance to disease, so that you are much less likely to suffer from fevers, boils, liver affections, and stomach and bowel complaints which are so prevalent just now.
Sanatogen
THE FOOD - TONIC
There is anotlier way in which Sanatogen proves. of great service. Even temperate people are naturally inclined at this time to depend too much on alcohol and other stimulants as a means of counteracting the langnor, depression and irritability from which all Europeans suffer. Sanatogen corrects this tendency, because it gives just that mental and emotional ex- hilaration which is needed-and gives it permanently, willout any reaction or other injurious effects. This, of course, is due to its powerful, yet quite healthy and natural, influence on the brain cells.
Take Sanatogen regularly.
There is no doubt that you need Sanatogen- everybody does during this weather. And your own doctor will recommend you to take it regularly as a geanine and safe invigorator. Why not start taking it to-day-here and now before your vital energy is further depressed by the heat? Buy a bottle at the nearest Chemist's. And drop us a post-card-mention- ing this paper--for a Free Copy of "The Art of Address: A. Wulfing & Co., 6, Kiukiang Living.*** Road, Shanghai.

There was then a slump, but one of smaller proportions than of old 1908 exports fell by £49,000,000, but this decline was in a trade very much greater than that of 1890, which suffered a fall of £48,000,000.

from a nail in the wall. Last week,
in the Place Vendôme, and at Armenon- vit, I saw the daintiest of Turkish slippers emerging from a trouser-skirt as their owner stepped down from her car.
These slippers were covered with green taffetas banded with rose silk. The hose worn were flesh-tinted, and on the curving toe-point of the slippere were set cabochon emeralds. These stones emphasised the hues of the rose silk skirt, with its bodice and tunic green crêpe de Chine.
At a famous magasin near the Rue de Hivoli I was shown those slippers in every possible colour and material-some of kid, embellished with a tiny gold crescent, and others of satin and panne, jewelled, embroidered, and sandalled. These slip pers are the most supple and comfortable of footwear.

It is clear, then, (1) that trade slumps have lost their old terrors, and (2) that trade depressions are shorter than they used to be.
As to 1914, as I have raninded the reader, there is now some falling off in trade, and the probability is that 1014 ns a whole will show some decline as compared with 1913, but not a decline of the bad old sort.

Contenting myself with this little dig in certain economic ribs, i pass to the serious moral of my tale.

To vary the expression of an old tag, man wants but little here below, but he wants that little regularly If, then, trade is irregular, it is not because of anyyariation in the needs of men Bams and slumps are the expression commercial imperfection. Apart from variations in harvests, the yields of which, taking one country with another, and one season with another, could easily be averaged up in an orderly world of intelligent human beings, there is not the slightest need for trade irregularity.
