(AOP)? Heavy holiday traffic tallied 100 vic tims, and accidents associated with the nation's New Year's d-ay obser vance accounted for a score more of liVe?. Highways of nearly every ntate r.nd skyways of the midwest alike were charged with fatilities in the rising list of dead tonight. Burns, falls, a freak cave-in, hunting, and a coasting accident swelled ihe fat^l totals. This midwest ? appeared to Ix* the heaviest sufferer in traffic tragedies. In rfthwis nine persons,, six of them children, were d'rowned tvs wheir s-.uto mobile fell 22 feet into the Calumet river while Lhey were dn the way lo a holiday celebration.

THE PRESENT DE)PftE3SION AND THOSE OP THfe PAST. One can't enter Into \\ causal r.treetj corner conversation these ilays with out being eventually .asked, "Weil, when do you think the depression will end?" This question is beginning to as sume an assinine touch, as it has been put to great mind's the world over and all of them, with the exception of H. G. Well, historian, and Dean Inge, of St. Paul's have given vent to some highly optimistic theories full Of mis assumptions and hot air. When the stock market first crash ed the "master minds" of industry yelped, "Yeh, that's what happens ' 'to gamblers. American ^industry iB | Jundimentajly sound." I Several months later, when indus try bepan to klowsjp and grow stale, | the master minds again reared up and shouted: "Don't sell America short." I Thon the battle cry reverted"*to "in dustrial adjustment" and "return 'to pre-war basis" and good times again within a year. With the coming of 1931, the "master minds-" proclaimed the beginning of the end of the de pression, and heralded the now year as "an era of unprecedented prosperi *y." / But as every intelligent persona knowns, thinga have prone from bad to worse and reached a near-crisis in Octobcr when Fngland slid oft the gold standArd. A panic in thin count ry was averted by a narrow margin. France assailed U. &. credits, ;\nd within a period of ten days the federal' reserve lost ono-aixth of ita fyoid re serve.
