case of the many articles which
are totally unrelated to normal
consumer needs. Thus the manu-

over to the manufacture of fire
control instruments; the manufac-
turer of sewing machines to the
production of pistols. Some idea of

his daughter, Mrs. Boyd Winder.
But offsetting any pessimistic
reaction to such facts is the com-
forting knowledge that American

Americans are seeking—impreg-
