and by 1719 it. proposed to refund
the entire national debt of 260 mill -ton
dollars, Its stock rose by leaps and
bounds... All classes bought eagerly.
The success of the Company caused
numerous others to be organized and
their stock found a ready market. The
prices of these stocks went up rapid-
ly and everybody was getting rich.
'One or two projects of real merit
were launched at this time, but the
'majority were mere bubbles. One was
to "make 'butter from beech trees,""
Another for "teaching wise - men to
cast,., nativit'ies." But the crowning
piece of folly was "a company for
carrying on an undertaking of great
advantage but nobody to know what
it is."
'Before you laugh at the credulity
04 these simple-minded Englis'hme'n
to whom corporations were a newly
invented, . mysterious mechanism,
please reflect that in July, 1919209
years later—sophisticated New York-
ers ,eagerly subscribed to the stock
of a finance c'o'mpany which stated
in its prospectus that it proposed to
engage in highly profitable trading
in securities and other enterprises not
to be divulged!
The deviceof using prominent peo-
ple as 'figurehe'ads and thus attracting
speculators was developed to an e�x-
tent that has no't., since been equaled.
The Prince of Wales accepted the gov-
ernorship of the Welsh Copper Com-
pany, and, after making $300,000 by
it, withdrew his name.
Great prosperity reigned.
The "South Sea Bubble" was prick-
ed by a rather unusual method. The
directors 'of the South Sea Company
looked with contempt upon their imi-
tators and, in the fall of 1720, began
legal proceedings against some of
them. The proceedings started a
liquidation in the stocks of the at-
tacked companies which spread over
the whole market—and South Sea
stock went down with the rest.
Almost universal bankruptcy fol-
low'e'd. The sufferings of all classes
caused an uproar for revenge, and
Parliament was appealed to. Parlia-
ment punished some of the more
flagrant culprits and passed a number
of laws which were supposed to pre-
vent a recurrence of such 'orgies. How
futile such laws are and how little hu -
inanity seems to learn from experience
is well proven by the depression
through which we have just passed.
'We have had in the United States—
beginning with the depression of 1785
•--21 major depressions and a number
of minor disturbances. Every depres.
sion was preceded, in fact was brought
on, by excessive activity in some form
or another.
An era of international improve-
ments preceded the panic of 1837. The
The Erie Canal and many other can.
als were built during this period. Rail-
road 'building , began. What started
as a national policy of internal im.
provements ended with the building
of many, useless or at least premature
ventures. The collapse of the boom
was caused by a- number of events,-•
the most important being the refusal
of Con�ress to renew the charter of
the United States Bank. But these
were only the matches that touched
off the powder magazine.
As in every other boom that of
1929 started with a period of healthy
improvement. It gradually grew into
a period of frenzied inflation. The
Spread of the fever of speculation was
accelerated by a number of factors.
In the first place the general business
of the country was, after recovering
from 1920, in a remarkably healthy
state. Second, the war had. diverted
to us a large part of the worl'd's
' gold so that we held far more than
our customary share. This made
' credit easy to 'obtain. At first the
stock market advanced normally, re-
fleeting as it ought to do, the healthy
improvement in business. The move-
ment gained momentum in -1926 and
• 1927, and finally resulted in the in-
sane speculation of 1928 and 1929.
After the big'crash of September,
P ,
:1929 a new factor, however, began to
, , g
operate. The market recovered in the
spring of 1930 and many operators,
believing the worst to be over, again
stepped into the market. Then an-
other and 'persistent decline set in
that puzzled the professionals. Wall
Street underestimated the collective
power of millions of chauffeurs, cooks,
miners and school 'teachers who had
bought a few shares of stock outright
because' no creditf z zacili
tle:s were open
n
to them.
. W hdn the crash came, some became
Panic-stricken and, sold,
but many
held their stocks for the "reaction."
Wlien the reaction did Id corne h in the
spring of 1930, some began to sell.
The collective holdings of this class
must ,have been tremendous and as
long as these stocks were in such un-
willing hands the market t was in
a
vulnerable condition.
What causes panics?
You will recall that presidential
elections were supposed to 'bring on
panics. Other causes mentioned were
underconsumlption or overproduction,
overexportati'on 'of gold, ove,rimporta-
tion of merchandise, .fear of • tariff
changes,overtaxation, deer
ea
se o
f
foreign trade unemployment,
lack of
confidence; depreciation of currency,
inflation of currency, the silver ques-
tiion, public and private extravagance,
inefriciency of labor, immigration,
speculation in 'stocks, depressed farm
prices, high transportation costs,
tightness of money, bank failures and
overextension of 'building.
IBut I am inclined to 'believe that
these so-called causes ,are not causes
at all—they are only the vehicles, the
means. The real fundamental cause

Markets' Council Active.
Registration of all growers, to-
gether with the products in which
they are interested, will be one of
the important steps in a plan under
way to solve 'their problems ,.by' the
recently -formed Ontario Fruit and
Vegetable Markets Council. After
gathering this information, the Coun-
cil will undertake to study the
growers' marketing problems and
give advice "to each grower or grow-
ers' 'organization on packing, packag-
ing and selling each crop in its sea-
son. The newly formed organization
will:be self-sustaining and owned by
the growers .themselves, and it will
be purely advisory.
COSTLY NUISANCES' YIELD
RICHES
Some years ago copper refineries
were releasing great volumes of sul-
phur dioxide into the air. The fumes
killed all vegetation over wide areas.
Finally law and public opinion forced
the industry to end the nuisance. The
refineries installed 'e'quipm'ent to .use
the gas to make sulphuric acid. '
This had many commercial uses,
but it 'became so plentiful that the
price dropped, and it was unprofitable.
So the chemical engineers shipped in
phosphate rock;, and with the 'sul-
phuric acid made acid' phosphate which
is one of the three essential ingredi-
ents in agricultural fertilizers.
By this process, the same fume's
which formerly destroyed crops were
employed to make them grow more
luxuriantly.
About 100 years ago, many wells
were dug for 'brine, to make salt, in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky. Much an-
noyance was caused by the appear-
ance of oil' in some of the wells.
Oil had a limited use as a medicine
and as a not -very -satisfactory illum-
inant; but this was small consolation
io
n
when it spoiled a nice salt well!,
Op-
erators
-erators drained itff and o a threw it
away. To -day salt water and oil still
occur together. g er Wells are still spoil-
ed, 'but they are oil wells, spoiled by
salt 'water.
Early .in the• oil industry's develop-
ment, refiners met an annoying prob-

suckers were sometimes victimized
by being sold "gold brick's" that were
only gold plated, the insides being
blocks of,platinum.
At Columbia University, chemistry
students are , shown a china tea set,
plated with' platinum. It was made
in .Russia. A czar had ordered a sil- '
ver 'plated set, and for the purpose
had given n the marker several bars of
silver 'bulli'on. But the man locked
the silver away for himself,. and" sub-
stituted platinum, wrhich he ,obtained
from an ,old stovepipe! In fact', 'be=
fore its unusual properties were dis-
covered, many Bumble articles were
made of platinum,
'The day of the stovepipe was
brought to an end by the dematde-.
of luxury and bidustry. Great quan-
tities ,if platinum began to go• into
jewelry.

Now let it be said quite definitely,
that what Kruschen did for him, it
will do for everybody else who suffers
from indigestion as he did. The fact
is that "the little daily dose" first
stimulates the flow of gastric,, juiees
• to aid digestion, and then ensures �A
complete, regular, and unfailing
elimination of all waste matter every
day, ,--*,
Soon after you start on Kruschen' tr

knew, that the first step was' to add
oxygen from the air. But the sulphur
dioxide and he oxygen refused to un-
ite.
The two substances were brought
together ih contact with a platinum
screen, and the, desired combination
took place immediately. In like man-
ner platinum screens force ammoniai
gas to take oxygen out of the air.
The resulting gas, when dissolved in
water, forms nitric acid.
'In these processes, thea platinuzra
itself is not altered. A material !is -
ed in this way, to. bring about chem-
ical action of other substances, is
known as a "catalyst." The discovery,
that platinum is effective in many
such cases was a large factor in its • •;,o
sky -rocketing price.
Sawmills, not long ago, were con-
tinually put to trouble and expense in
disposing of their scrap. Great heaps
accumulated. If left too Iong they
would rot. The scrap had to be de-
stroyed in special burners. Now it is
a big asset. It can be profitably re-
duced to charcoal, or distilled to makei
wood alcohol, various acids, and lac-
quer solvents..
The creamery industry is the Aeld
of another chemical triumph. The
old nursery lines can be truthfully
paraphrased:
"Whe,re, are you going, my pretty
maid ?"
"I'm going to milk the cow," she
said. "I'm going to milk her not only
of milk, but of unbreakable cups and
saucers to serve it in, and eyeglass
rims, beads, fountains pens, massage
cream, glue and waterproofrhg for
paiti'ts."
Not 'long ago millions of pounds of
milk each year were- being wasted.
Many large creameries, busy selling
butter fat for butter and ice cream,
dumped out the skim milk. Now these '
and many other article's are made
from the casein the skim milk con- .4

Cottonseed, within the space of half

The kernel, taken out of the hull,
is ground into cake and meal', which
