There is none of the bluster- ing that you meet so often in the world of business; none of the \top busy, can't see you to- day\ line that is so popular with those who . devote themselves exclusively to chasing the dol- lar, When men get out in the wide, open spaces, breaking their way through brush and low-hanging trees, or bucking a swift ruhning river angling for trout or even while they are trolling from a boat on a placid lake for bass or pickerel they don't bluster. They are at peace with the world and they are equal unto the other. They might pass each other by on Main street in Hempstead or Village avenue in Rockville Centre or Grand ave- nue in Baldwin, but get them out in a stream or a field and they stop and pass the time of day. Put them around a table at the nearest inn after a hearty dinner and in no time at all they are friends. EY start the day with a cheery \Good morning,\ al- though they have never met each other before, and if any man went down Main street or Village avenue or Grand avenue saying \Good morning\ to everyone he met people would think he was running for office or ready for Kings Park. Back in the good old days- the days when sugar cost 6 cents a pound and you could get a tail glass of beer with a big dish of beef stew thrown in for a nickle-this was common in the smaller cities of dear, old Maine, where people were democratic even though, politically, they were-and still are-Republican. There was a friendliness prevalent in those days that doesn't seem to exist today. People were not chasing the dol- lar like they are and they were mot so reserved. Probably they hadn't heard of the 400 that constituted New York's high so- cial circle and had no desire to be ome of the rim that hid the circle from the eyes of the com- mon herd. Yet back of the reserve they are of the same mould as the friendly New Englander of a decade ago. They drop the mask when they get away from the office and the city, and they drop their accent with the mask. It is good to meet them in the open and probably it is just as well that the acquaintance ends when the fishing tour is over or when the gun has been cleaned and packed for an early departure in the morning. You get the idea that \There is a swell guy\ out in the open but in the office you might be disillusioned. Somehow, man must have that show of author- ity when he sits behind his desk and blows rings of smoke from a Corona or a Dunhill. what, you might ask, brought all this on? Well, Sunday was a beautiful day. The sun was warm, though there wan a bit of a breeze blowing, and there were reports that the flounders -- miniature doormats Merrill Bailey calls them in his \On the Water« front\-were biting. 80, having nothing else to do, wour correspondent went down to Freeport's waterfront; bought his anchor and then dropped his line and it wasn't a couple of minutes | before he landed a good-sized flounder in the boat. The men in the cruiser ap- plauded him, and it wasn't long before you would think the three of us had known each other for years. I don't know who they are and I guess I don't want to. I liked them as I met them out in the bay but they might be dif- ferent in that other world, where the almighty dollar ap- pears to be the god of all too many.

Kniffin E distinction between a \recession\ in business and a \depression' may be techni- cal, but it is important, A de- pression is certainly a recession and a recession may run into a depression, The time element may be the distinguishing fea- ture, because the recession may be temporary while the depres- sion may last for several years. We may be able now to weather a recession easily; but if it runs into a d on we are not as well led as we were in 1929; for then we d‘mdnat have a huge government debt, and the borrowing possibilities to defeat the depression were still open. Today, having stretched governm« borrow- ing to the breaking point, we are in no position to finance another depression. Factors Reviewed Recession GROPING around in order to find out the \why\ of the recent Wall Street break, au- In af} > go up, and that cannot be passed on to consumers. (8) There is the semblance of a buyer's strike at least in some lines, particularly in housing. Last, but not least, all are agreed that fear has been wide- spread and disastrous in its consequences. Even those in \high places\ admit that this is so, Men do not need to know what they are fearful of in or- der to have something grip them that stops their normal {brats-nu from working. !f fear cannot be definitely lo- cated, all the worse. Men may say they are fearful of the busi- ness outlook; but what there is disturbing in the business out- look may be somewhat hazy in their minds, They \don't like the looks of things,\ they say. But why? They may not be able to analyze their outlook, and go by \hunches but the results are even worse than if they were able to prove their point. Enough Forces Active Toe Cause Worse Break ITH all the known factors set down in black and white, together with the unknown set down in blue, it is no wonder business slows down. The busi- ness thermometer does not reg- ulate business; it simply regis- ters what business is doing. The business indices merely reflect what the statisticlans find. Looking at the business ther- mometer may bri one reac- tion to one man and ~nother to another, but both proceed with caution when they see the indi- cator running down. Added to the above named factors comes the Wall Street situation, registering the fel- ings of millions of people, and reflecting the fact that many le do not like the looks of m and prefer to get out of the market, even though they do not know just why.

Laws Safeguard Marriage EVERAL months ago I re- ferrad to the new marriage law of Connecticut which re- quires that all couples desiring to obtain a marriage license in that state must present a certi- ficate from a physician state-approved stating that these persons are free from venereal disease. Only recently the legislature of Ulinois passed a similar law and the bill has been signed by the governor, The house passed it by a vote of 105 to 4 and the senate, 31 to 1. Back of the bill were distinguished leaders of the American Medical associa- tion. «08 % Both Must Take Test THE Illinois law requires both parties to a contemplated marriage to submit to test for syphilis or gonorrhea within 15 days previous to the day they intend to wed. No license can be issued to a diseased person, and once issued to those per- sons free from disease the li- cense would expire if not used within 30 days. It seems that young folk about to marry, in any state, law or no law, should choose to give to each other upon mar- riage, such a bill of health Some persons, Indeed, may be infected with a venereal disease innocently contracted and with- out their knowledge that they are at\ all infected. And the suffering that may have to be endured by the parents, par- ticularly the wife, and the chil- dren, even for generations! Let us hope that every state will soon have such laws as those of Connecticut and Illinois. And they will as soon as enough of us care. «0+ 00% Mothers Can Be Saved T LEAST two out of three mothers who die in child- birth could be saved by proper medical care during pregnancy and confinement.

This unwieldly and far too long novel is as generously modeled as Billy Watson's once- famous \Beef Trust\ It is as sincere as any book could be, and it scatters its effect over so wide a territory that after put- ting it down one cannot avoid wondering what it was all about. Mr. Rice is a drama and he has been a one. en \Imperial City\ gets under way there is the feeling in the read- er's mind that Mr. Rice has for- gotten he is writing a novel- pages exclusively of not-too- good dialogue give the opening a stilted feeling. Later this de- fect is reversed-there is too little dialogue through a good share of the novel. Through- out, however, Mr. Rice employs the familiar mosaic manner. He prefers short scenes which sometimes betray their relation to each other at once; sometimes remain little enigmas for a while. Insofar as the novel has a central theme, it appears to be the history of the Coleman clan as revealed through the direct acts of this very wealthy family, through the acts of others which € impinge upon the family life, and through the blind operation of Social Forces (capital S, capi- tal F) upon all the characters. The Colemans are various-a socially minded professor, a curt captain of finance, a mother drinking herself to her grave, a playboy brother who even- tually gets himself into a sweet mess in court. The subsidiary charters are much too numer- ous, and sometimes quite in- credible-Hemlock, for example, who is confidential agent and valet to Christopher Coleman, the magnate, and on the side is partner in a high class brothel. One simply does not believe Hemlock ever existed. Well, this vasty picture of New York and its people bur- bles and bolls 11mg through comedy, tragedy and whatnot until finally Playboy Coleman gets himself arrested for mur- der, and the reader's attention is at last focused on a definite fact, to wit a trial \Now thinks the reader, \we are get- ting somewhere.\ He is wrong. alas. Mr. Rice ends on the lady or the tiger trick, and vitiates even his final scene, I cHuman Side of dch By Edwin C Hill MID-TOWN textile goods jobber told me the oth day that the girls weren't taking kindly to the boycott of Ja; i silk. It looks as if they they hope to make Ame: m stockings-call them lisle or what y jst\ H h improved roads in rural sectfons of the United States. Cotton fabric for an 18-foot -r o a d costs from $450 to $750 a mile. Edwin C, Hii There's a tremendous new do- mestic demand, provided the scheme works out. Government scientists have been working on it for years. They give assur- ance that it will make more dur- able and better roads, with low- er maintenance costs. Short tests have backed up this claim. At Prosperity, S. C., they ripped up a section of cotton road put down years ago and found the fabric in perfect condition. Road maintenance cost had been less and the condition of the road better than in roads of ordinary construction. «0+ % Makes Fine Roads T. REVERE, a cotton brok- * er active in the Cotton Textile Institute, has been a pioneer in the advocacy of cot- ton in road building. In an ad- dress before the annual meet- ing of the institute in New York last week, he said: \You don't have to advance more than four arguments for cotton roads, and they are unanswerable, First, a larger domestic market for the south's chief product. Second, increased employment in the textile industry. Third, colossal savings for taxpayers in annual maintenance charges, Fourth, the enormous improvement in our secondary highways which will reduce the mm ion of our main concrete arteries.\ Cotton houses are also being boomed by Mr. Revere. Here, again, he sees an endlessly wid- ening new demand. I have be- fore me a booklet gut out by the Cotton Textile Institute, reprint- ed from the annals of the Amer- Ican Academy of Social and Po- litical Science. Pasted on its pages are samples of new cotton fabrics. Among them Is the Why Cats Land On Feet By DR. LOGAN CLENDENING SEVERAL years ago in A certain part of this strange country, you might have seen two serious looking men dropping cats out of windows. The cats were scientifically photographed with a motion picture camera, as they fell, and, in fact, an endowment of $10,000 had been made to take the pictures, for it was believed that they would solve some problems that were troubling aviation flight sur- geons and their patients, the pilots. It was well known that even with very good ei a pilot may go into a spinning nose dive or some such whirling maneuver, and when he comes out be has illusions-he may have the illu- sion of turning when he isn't. This illusion, it was known, comes from the disturbance of the inner ear due to the spin- ning maneuver, and some sur- geons suggested that the safest aviators would be those whose ears do net work. # ® (e Helpless Without Kars ENCE, the experiments with d ijt id if | the bird has been meeting the con- ditions in the air. \cotton membrane for hem, bituminous road faces.\ - It is a loose cro ing of cotton string, about diameter . of - ordinary . state looking somewhat Hk¥ s cloth.

This year, we have the second largest crop on record, Egypt and India are tremendously increasing their production and Brazil, finding coffee unprofitable, is turning to cotton growing on a large scal@, We used to produce 60 per cent. of the cotton moving in the world market» Now we pro= duce about 40 per cent. government has been turning to the frequently tried but never effective schemes of crop limi= tations, subsidies and price val« orization, Like the U. S. ma» rines arriving to save the hero= ine, here's science with a dozen practicable means of doubling the domestic use - sustaining prices and making new jobs. Definitely in the realm of the attained and the practicable the fact that the automobile in» dustry already uses 8.9 per cent, of home-grown cotton. Just in passing, Dr. Claudius T. Murchison, president of the Cotton-Textile institute, backs up Mr. Revere in that cofton house scheme. At the New York meeting of the institute he said: \For some time the 'new uses division' of the institute has been devoting itself intensively to the scientific and commercial possibilities of cotton houses. The results of the studies so far made encourage us to believe that in the near future cotton construction may likely be one , of the most important single de» mand elements in the American cotton market.\ \You eain't go to heaven on a rockin' chair\ is the refrain of an old southern negro son®, Maybe not-but who would ever dream that we'd roll down to Dixie on a cotton road, or live if a cotton house?
