an explanation which dates back to
a story attributed to Pres. Adams,
and of the revolutionary war period.
The statement of a tavern keeper
who justified a raise in the price
of firewater on the ground that it
cost as much to keep a hogshead of
rum as to keep a horse, was accept-
ed by a customer with the remark
that although the beverage could not
get away with as much hay as a
horse, it could certainly absorb as
much water.

We, as we go about our daily

with Bill. Henry or Jim, and cuss

Dun & Bradstreet's statistics of
business faiurescseems to refute the
belief that the 1923-33 depression
was the most disastrous in history.
The highest failure record in recent
years was that ot 13.52; but it was
nut so high as that of 1878. There
was greater commercial distress in
1867, according to Dun & Bradstreet,
and in the depression period from
1876 to 1878 than in any other
times.
Bankruptcies are only one item
measuring business cond:tions ot de-
pression, but they are important ba-
rometers. It is a curious fad, and
contrary to general opinion, that
failures are higher after the defla-
g-wire. 1
