The reason little if any progress has been made is because mosr, of our steps so far have been toward a price prosperity, net a production prosperity," said the professor when giving his views on what the country should do to bring about sound recovery. This was his answer to an inquiry from the business editors of the New York Sun. "The search for a sound recov ery has been essentially a journey into the unknown, with the guid ance of a financial will-o'-the- wisp. Our chief handicap has been j ' that many have been looking for a mere monetary Utopia, the sheerest mockery of a genuine re vival. A defensible definition of sound recovery is that it leads to a condition of full and continuous use of our resources by the larg est number of people and with the widest distribution of benefits. It can be measured in money terms only at great risk of deception," he added. Professor Aindt's recipe for bet- ter business is one of the 22 sub- .-.,tfAft n a .Qiin Vtv ranking economists.

One was called an "eightball" because of its resemblance to the number eight ball that you find in every poolroom. Other types of micro prones was the "carbon" and the "ribbon" so-named because of the materials involved In construction. Can't eat these kind.
