Students of natural history who
have not been accustomed to look on
the gander as bird of prey may pro-
fit by study of the statistics relating
to one owned by Tommy Boomer, Of
Vreeland avenue, Nutley, N. ].
According to complication Of

has won decisions over book agents,
insurance solicitors, bull terriers and
automobiles. 1t is believed to be the
only gander in all of Nutley, N. j.,
capable of running down an automo-
bile and picking pieces out of a rear
tire with its bill without lessening
its terrific speed. Most common gan
ders on their trial trips seldom aver
age more than half knot an hour.
Tommy Boomers terrible gander,
having overcome half-grown terrier
in a preliminary fight, has grown in
prestige by defeating all the dogs in
the neighborhood, and within a week
has chased from the Boomer premises
two oratorical gentlemen whose OBJ
ject in life was the sale of history
of the world, in twelve volumes and
eighty-two payments, and another
easy running talker, who was per-
fectly willing to write an insurance

FINANCE AND TR,aF REVIEW

Jobbers and Wholesalers Experience
Dizziness and Downward Trend.

"Cold weather with snow West and
South has checked retail trade and
dulled recorder business In spring
goods, while the reports of crop dam
age resulting from the return of win

Taken as whole, the reports
from jobbing and wholesale trade
lines and industries point to slowing
down rather than quickening of de-
mand, and the downward tendency of
many commodities does not seem to
have brought out n&,h new business,
the feeling being apparently that buy
ing to fill only natural need is now
the part of conservatism pending
clearer views Of crop and price out

'The textile trades fail to reflect
much expansion of demand. The cot

tension of curtailment is being advo-

MARY GARDEN ON SINGING.

"When l am asked what / consider
TO be the best conditions under which
girl who would become an opera
singer must study, say first of all
the minimum of money" says Mary
Garden, in Harper's Bazaar: "to stand
alone without money-unnecessar
money-or friends. Does this sound
very heartless? 1 do not mean that
the girl should starve in the tradi-
tional attic or that she should not
be comfortably fed and clothed. for
these two things are most important,
and their lack is a serious, often a
fatal handicap. Some great artists
have succeeded in spite of such condi-
tions, but / am quite sure they would
tell us that they do not owe anything
to them. Severe hardship Is not es-
sential to success, as some senti-
mental people seem to think. But l
do say that the girl who is expected to
become an opera-singer must work
hard and live simply. travel in buses
no cabs-be without superfluous
money for entertainment. She must
not forget that she is there-I take
It for granted she is abroad-for
work first and last and most of the
time"
