Evo did not sleep well that night, She awoke several times, only to drift back into troubled dreams of Bixby's store, a stock exchango, and finally her old home. In the morning she was so quiet that Dick was worried.

"You're usually skipping about all over the place by 7:30." he said. "What's the matter? Don't you feel well?"

"I'm all right," Eve assured him, "I was just thinking. I mustn't forget to write to Mother to-day, It's almost a week since her last letter came."

High excitement prevailed in New York's financial district when brokers, gasping for, breath, were driven from the Stock Exchange by fumes which police said cams from tear gas bombs thrown into an open pipe of the ventilating system. Though no one was reported overconio, trading was suspended for the day. Here's the scene as emergency police squade arrived on the scene.

WORLD CRISIS

A WAY OUT

By FREDERICK COPE, A.M.I.E.E.

Mr. Cope's striking articles on the world economic crisis which were recently published in the Honchong Teicgraph

are now available in pamphlet form.

One of the features, repaying study, is the close similarity between the plan of reform suggested by this eval writer, and certain aspects of the Roosevelt recovery prograinme. The author's ideas are naturally far too advanced for active. promotion at the present time, but they are particularly interesting in view of the fact that President Roosevelt, in striking out on a path of his own, has travelled in the same direction.
