That 1t Is Only Hard Cider
in DisnuiSe

New York, Dec, 29.-"Have a vinegar
with me-, has been popular remark in
Manorville, L. l.. for long time. Re
Gently its popularity has expanded, espe
cially since the big apple crop was turned
into liquid form. Nearly every cellar IN
IN the town has absorbed a portion of the
vintage of 1928, just as they have done for
years. Indeed. you couldn't break into
good society there unless you had vine
gar assets that entitled you to recogn
tion.
But the Womau's Christian Temperance
Union has swooped down on the traffic in
vinegar" scornfully characteriZing the
liquid hard cider in disguise. The
good women OF Manorville stood it silent
ly until the vintage of '9S began to Je
peddled from house to house. a man
with barrel of vinegar a spigot and
a horse and cart had an assured income
The consumption of vinegar in Manor
vile grew to a point where il looked to
members of the w. C. T. L. as if the ep-
tire village was steadily being put IN
pickle.
Miss Alice E. Raynor is president of
the union, and she has stirred up the
membership to begin a fight against
vinegar" traffic. The women are max
mig house to house canvass and say
they will never stop until the high tide
of apple juice is sluiced OFF into some
other channel

TUESDAYS COMMISSION
PRCFl S BY BROKERS

New York, Dec. 29.-Wall Street is hap
Ply, and the clerks employees and messen-
ger boys Jared better this Christmas than
in many years.
One days business (that of Tuesday,.
which was the most active in six years.
netted the brokers $164, 747.74 in commits
sions.
The average workman deems himself
fortunate with a daily income of SO, and
the average clerk is more than satisfied
with S. per day. Members of the Stock
business, were able 40 earn on an average
$329.4S
Not bad sum when it is remembered
that 500 men were able to make that much
apiece for five hours work from 10 in the
morning to in the afternoon.
1t is not strange that the price of Stock
Exchange seats has climbed up pretty well
toward 100000, when the profits in such
markets as Wall Street is now enjoying
are so enormous. These figures represent
merely the commissions, and do not cover
the profits made in the appreciation in
values on that one day.
The Stock Exchange is by no means a
cooperative institution, hence it is certain
that some of the usually active brokers.
who number 500 out of total membership
OF more than ,100 made more than 1929 4S,
which naturally means that some earned
less. They were all, however, as busy as
could be, and any one Of them gained in a
day more than the average American
workman could in fortnight.
