Familiar to many a U. S. newspaper reader is the late Heywood Broun's annual Christmas fable (see p. 35). New York commuters know well the editorial, "Is There A Santa Claus?," which the New York Sun has run at Christmas for 42 years (see p. 47). This week, the Chicago Daily News prints a cartoon (first published in 1934) which is on its way to like renown (see cut).

In order to keep purely financial transactions from unduly influencing the Index-which aims to reflect general business, not merely financial conditions-the turnover component for financial centres like New York and Chicago is kept separate from the turnover component for trade centres, and the two are later combined...
