No Other Work Like This The Circle of Knowledge was planned y a group of eminent educators who saw he great need of making knowledge so nteresting and so graphic that even -hild's mind would absorb it almost unconsciously, without any suggestion of study. Every department of knowledge is covered in this one plendid volume: The Heavens, the Earth, the Plant Kingdom, the Animal Kingdom, Races and Peoples, the Nations, Language and Literature, Science and Invention, the Human Body, the World War; over 1,000 pages; illustrations, many in color.

Same BUSINESS & FINANC Current Station After the election results were received and digested by the public, the stock market proceeded to go immediately on record as optimistic of the business future. The obliteration of La Follettism removed a heavy prejudice against rail securities; at the same time, basic industries like steel and oil gave signs of expansion and higher prices. Money shows a slightly firmer tendency, despite the fact that call funds have again gone back to the 2% midsummer rate. Nevertheless, the overwhelming sufficiency of funds here precludes much danger of an action in interest rates according to over-rigid ideas of business cycles. The recovery in Europe occasioned by the adoption of the Experts' Plan is generally recognized. Foreign funds are being withdrawn from Manhattan, which is one important factor in rising exchange rates for sterling and other European currencies. Large sums are reported to have been already advanced by banks to foreign industries and enterprises; at the right time, these banking advances will be funded into security issues and offered to the public. Thus far no very risky financing has been undertaken. The time for that to develop is later. The signs now point almost unmistakably to business prosperity next spring. But those who are bracing themselves to see miracles will probably be disappointed. Stock Market Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom-louder and louder rumbled the big bass drum of Prosperity where they were beating it (TIME, Nov. 17) in Wall Street. The great bull days became a great bull week, the greatest in 20 years. In ten post-election days, 18,717,732 listed stock shares changed hands in the Big Bull Ring. Of these millions, over eleven and a half went in the week of Nov. 10, more than ever before save in the panicky May weeks of 1901. A total of 689 issues were dealt in a new high for all time. Wall Street tried to assess the market's appreciation while the booming continued and the rough figures The customers came in thr but calm throngs.

AS it ever occurred to you that possibly the right to an opinion is no more secure than the right to a living? We have a right to live, but we must earn a living. That is, perhaps, economics. We have a right to opine, to opine all over the place as much as we like-but, first of all, we ought to earn an opinion. That is, perhaps, morality. If we live without earning a living a) a palace or palazetto c) an asylum such as Kan- If we opine without earning an IT is simply a question of self-respect. Some men-in fact, most men-like to know what they're talking about. Before airing themselves on subjects of political, artistic or general interest, they get the facts. TIME is published for such men, so that they may get the facts in the quickest, simplest and surest manner. SPOKI Football Old Mother Yale rushed to the Princeton cupboard. Her bull-dogs hungered for bones. When she got there, she was agreeably surprised to discover a tidy store-a field goal, a touchdown. The field goal, as fine a specimen as ever was seen, was executed by Halfback Scott at the Princeton 45-yard line. The touchdown was deftly forward-passed by Halfback Pond to Tackle Joss. Princeton's portion was the same bitter, black medicine she had administered to Harvard the week before, medicine that many have to take after dining richly.
