passed without a mention of the bouso
provision requesting the president to

Washington.—The story of 1022 Is
one of world economic progress and
Ihe prospects are favorable for 1923,
Secretary Hoover, of the department of
commerce, declared in a statement in
which he reviewed the past and hazard
ed a forecast of the future year. His
statement compiled from reports of
special investigators in all parts of
the earth, expressed complete confi
dence concerning the remolding of the
i delicate economic machine so badly
wrecked by the world war.
"An economic forecast can not
amount to more than a review of ten
dencies and a hazard in the future,’’
Mr.-Hoover said. "The world begins
the year with greater economic
strength than a year ago; production
and trade are upon a larger and more
substantial basis, with the sliigle ex
ception of the sore spot in central
i Kurope. The healing force of busi-
j ness and commerce has gained sub
stantial ascendency over destructive
political and social forces. There is
ample’ reason why there should he con
tinued progress during the next
1 twelve months.”
I "Bolshevism has greatly diminished
and oven in Russia has been replaced
by a mixture of socialism and indi- ,
vidiualism.
"Active war, at least, has ceased
Cor the first time since 1014.
"Famine and distress have dimin
ished to much less numbers this win
ter than at any time since the great
j war began.
I “Production has increased greatly,
: during the year.
j "Unemployment is less in world to
tals than at any time since the armis-
j lice.”
"International commerce Is increas-
1 ins.
"The world 1b now protty generally
purchasing its commodities by the
normal exchange of services and 1
goods, a fact which in itself marks
an enormous step in recovery from
the strained movements of credit and
gold which followed the war.”

YJC7HEN the ebb tide comes, ap-
parently determined to sweep
you off your feet nnd carry you down
:o the waiting sea; or when the storm
clouds darken the serene sky. and ob
scure your bright, trustworthy guiding
star, summon all your courage and
hasten to reach the nearest friendly
port.
A man naturally thinks it will go
hard with him If the tide turns and
sets against him,
If long accustomed to good fortune,
fair winds and sunny, weather, a
sudden burst of opposition at its first
manifestation! of energy appals him.
For years he has been mnking rapid
progress, avoiding the reefs upon
which many of his Intimates have
been wrecked.
When they sank beneath the growl
ing waters he smiled complacently
nnd congratulated himself on his su
perior skill.
Ills craft was seaworthy, his vision
clear nnd his hand unerringly sure.
But now, ns the ebb froths In anger,
he realizes that his boasted clever
ness was largely a matter of condi
tion with which his ability had noth
ing to do.
Ho has fallen back so long on the
thought that he was a superman, p6s
sessed of extraordinary prowess, the
change nlnrms him.
The Inevitable ebb fills his soul
with Inexprceolble terror.
Though he shuts his mouth hard
nnd snys nothing to his suspecting
wife, he cannot quell the sickening
fear.
Danger lurks In the waves nnd In
the wind—In the very breath of Idle
gossip. „
The shoals are. marked by fretting
fonm leaping high in the air, hut the
night Is dnrk. His nerve Is undone.
His once keen perception falls him.
And yet, If lie Is a true man, or
a man in the making, this is the one
time in his life when he will show
his mettle, grip the wheel with a
firmer hold, bend his back nnd reso
lutely face the snarling gale panting
In its effort to hurl his zhlp upon the
rocks.
In every life there Is a shipwreck
somewhere burled In the sands of
unforgotten years.
It tells the tale of a day that Is
done, of fond hopes, that were swept
to sea and sucked under the waters
of the inevitable ebb, from which
no man can always steer clear, but
against which every brave man will
battle until he makes port.
