BABSON PREDICTS CRASH 
Canadian Northwest to Suffer, Ex 
pert Tells Boston Men 
Roger W. Babson, the national 
expert on fundamental business 
conditions and one of the vice pres- 
idents of the Manchester ‘Trust 
company, was the speaker Tuesday 
noon at the mid-month assembly of 
the Boston Chamber of Commerce 
at the American House, and about 
200 members attended to hear his 
explanation of modern methods of 
keeping in touch with general busi- 
ness conditions throughout the 
United States. 
‘‘At present there is a wide belt 
of business depression just west of 
he**said. “The 
highest business. pressure of the 
world is recorded in Germany, 
while the highest in this continent 
is in the Canadian Northwest, where 
however, there is apt to be a great 
erash within the next two years. 
‘“‘These business depressions are 
just like storms. The one in the 
Middle. West at present started in 
the Dakotas and = spreading rap- 
idly.’’ 
By means of maps and charts, 
Mr. Babson illustrated how every 
era of prosperity had to be followed 
by one of depression, liquidation and 
the paying off of debts contracted 
during the period of great business. 
He showed how in the countries of 
the old world things maintained a 
fairly even tenor and in this coun- 
try just the opposite prevailed, big 
jumps and then panies. 
When Mr. Babson finished, a 
number of the members questioned 
him on details, and one member 
asked if it was not true that a per- 
iod of business depression preceded 
every presidential election. 
Mr. Babson did not agree with 
this theory, and said that funda- 
mental conditions rather than per- 
sonality or platforms elected Presi- 
dents, and that Taft’s greatest com- 
petitor in the coming contest is the 
present condition. of business. 
When pressed for a forecast of 
business conditions in the immedi- 
ate future, Mr. Babson said: ‘‘My 
forecast is not optimistic. We are 
in a period of readjustment into 
modern conditions. A thorough 
liquidation is coming and our ae- 
tions in either booming prosperity 
of a false sort or allowing a de- 
pression merely mean whether we — 
postpone this complete depression a ~ 
few years or have it over with.”’ 
Women Socialists in Society 
Socialism is being supported by 
some of the most prominent women 
in Boston’s 
cratic social circles. 
One of the most widely known of | 
the young Society Socialists in Cam- 
bridge is Miss Delia F. Dana, who 
created a sensation in her set when | 
she gave up the life of a social but- 
terfly and devoted herself to hos- 
wealthy and aristo- 
pital nursing. Now she is one of, 
the most ardent of Cambridge’s ad- 
voeates of Socialism. This young 
woman is the daughter of Richard 
H. Dana, the noted Cambridge lit- 
erateur, who resides at 113 Brattle 
street, and has his summer home at 
Manchester.

She is a granddaugh- — 
merly she was looked upon as one — 
of the most promising society buds. 
Miss Dana’s brother, E. T. Dana, is~ 
also a Socialist. He is on the in- 
struction staff at Harvard College 
and is president of the Boston chap- 
ter of the Inter-collegiate Socialists 
Society. 
Through this advocacy of Social- 
ism by young Mr. Dana runs @ 
thread of romance. His engagement 
to Miss Jessie Holliday, an artist 
who won a reputation for her por- 
trait-painting in London, where she 
was born, was recently announced, 
and it is declared that their mutual 
interest in Socialism brought about 
their betrothal. 
Miss Holliday has the reputation — 
of being one of the most beautiful 
young women in Cambridge. She is- 
typically English in her beauty, as 
she is as yet in everything else. 
She came to America last spring 
and continued her career as an ar- 
tist. At present she is engaged on a ~ 
portrait of Miss Alice Longfellow. 
She is secretary of the Boston 
branch of the Intercollegiate So-— 
cialist Society.
