TWENTY FIVE POSSIBLE
POSSIBILITIES #
We all like to prophecy, and
when a writer in touch with
business and financial centers
ventures to make definite pre
dictions, he is likely to have a
wide and interested audience.
H. C. Forbes, in his Forbes Mag
azine,(New York) takes a column
in 3k midsummer issue to set
(. ;\vn twenty-five important de
' lopments which he thinks we
are likely to witness, some of
t iem in the next few months,
others within a year:
1. Rather acute scarcity of un
skilled laborers.
A rising tendency in wages.
Serious congestion on the
railroads, with grave delays in
the delivery of goods,
4. Sharp rises in not a few in
dustries.
5 A further advance in cotton
and cotton goods
6. Greater expansion in imports
than in exports.
7. Some revival in shipping.

new security offerings.

and decreased activity in bonds

merchandise and many instan*

13. Cheaper coal.
14. Lowering of rents. M ? :

LAW LETS THEM GET AWAY
When scores of persons were
killed or injured in the Knidker
booker movie house at Washing
tpa last winter by its collapse,
due to faulty construction, ajU
Washington arose and demanded
to know who was responsible^
It was found out who was re
sponsible. Then the courts
got busy and now the indict
ment is quashed on technical
ities. i •> n

AUTO STEALING LEADING
Autos worth one hundred mil
lion dollars were stolen in 1921.
The check-up has just been com
pleted. The motor thief has e
clipsed the bank robber and the
housebreaker. The leading
crime in America today is auts
stealing which is a reminder of
what happened to a horse thief
years ago in the West when
horse stealing was the leading
crime. It may come to that
again.
