BUSINESS BOOM
On IN EARNEST
depression Caused by European
War Is Disappearing.
GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS
Secretary of Commerce Gives His
Views on Business, Finance, Farm
and Mill-McAdoo Sub
nits Figures.

Washington, Nov. 18-While the
forces of destruction are being mobi-
s1zed In ever-increasing strength in the
warning countries of Europe, public
and private constructive agencies are
at work on this side of the Atlantic,
and resources Of peace are being con-
centrated to overcome the i'll effects
of the world war.
All information reaching govern
mental departments indicates that the
gloom and depression which overlook
business enterprises in the United
States when the war burst is slowly
drawing aside, and glimpses of present
and coming prosperity are visible.
The hopeful outlook for American
ventures was summarized by Secre-
tary Redfield in a letter to the cham
Der OF commerce of the United States.
1t was reflected also in a,statement by
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury de-
partment on imports and exports.
Telegraphic statements received by
Secret y McAdoo from the ten lead
ing ports of entry showed that the i'm
port business last Saturday at ports
handling 81 per cent of all imports
amounted to $2,330,512; exports from
these ports, handling 72 per cent of all
exports, amounted to SIC, ,551
The daily average for these ports in
November, 1913, was: Imports, $4,923,-
1877; exports, $6,983,426.
Mr.. Redfield here wrote his view, al
ready given, about "the worst that can
be said" of American conditions.
There is always room in a country
as large as ours, and with such various
conditions as exist in it's different por.
tions," he continued, ''for the pessimist
to find some hook on which he can
hang his mournful prophecies.
Zone need not react to the other ex.
IRENE and exclaim that the special
prosperity of one is an indication OF
equally good conditions everywhere.
"The truth lies between, but no OBJ
server of the large movements in our
commerce today fails to recognize the
great improvement that has been
made in business conditions within
the last few weeks and which is still
progressing"

DoubIy Rewarded.

During a performance in which
appeared some years ago very IA
nous actress who was starring in the
play lost a diamond necklace, relates
a veteran actor. She searched care
fully for it everywhere, but with no
success, and was on the verge of col
lapse when another actor in the COM
pany found the necklace and took 1t
to her. She received it with great
joy and instantly offered him a re-
ward of $50, which he politely de-
clined. The actress insisted, however.
that he accept some sort of reward.
WELL" he answered very modestly,
"since you press me, should consider
kiss an ample reward"
Needless to say he was paid in full.
AS soon as l could get him alone I
said:
why were you SO foolish? You're
only getting small salary. Why
didn't You take the fifty dollars?"
why should l." was his cool re-
spouse, when / bet hundred that
I'd kiss her before the week was up?"

GEMS OF OLD WORLD
FRENCH CATHEDRALS MARVELSi
OF ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Rich in Historic Interest, and of Sur
passing Beauty, Their Damage In
Present War Is Matter for
Keen Regret.

Reims cathedral, partly destroyed,
during the recent bombardment, was
regarded as the Westminster abbey
of France On its site, according to-
legend Clovis was baptized in the
fifth century, and there Joan of Arc
saw the conservation of Charles VII.
There also, the kings of France were
crowned and anointed.
Two of the chief features OF the
cathedral, which dates back to 1211.A
were the most famous rose window
of the world, almost forty feet in d.
ameter and the $50 statues adjoining
the portals and facades, including AZ
colossal statues of French kings.
Near the north portal was one of the
masterpieces of Gothic sculpture, rep
resenting the Last Judgment" with
figure of Christ in the attitude of
benediction.
The interior was world-renowned
for it's exquisite stained glass, its six
teenth-century tapestries and great
organ, one of the finest in Europe.
Although not quite so rich in his
torical interest the cathedral of Notre
Dame in Paris is more ancient than
that of Reims, the main building hav-
ing been begun in the twelfth cen
fury. 1t is said that If the pillars of
Notre Dame could speak they might
tell the whole history of France. The
only coronation celebrated there was
that of Henry VI of England in 14S1.
Perhaps the finest feature of Notre
Dame in Paris is the Sainte Chapelle,
built by ST. Louis in 1858 for the re-
ception of the various relics which he
brought from the Holy Land. This
chapel is perhaps the greatest exist
ing masterpiece of Gothic art.
Amiens cathedral is another of
Frances thirteenth century churches
to which the world pays visits. This
was the church which Ruskin and
other people have described as the
finest existing medieval structure"
It's Incompatible facade, galleries
filled with the statues of kings, it's
superb windows and tapestries, and
above all it's beautiful choir-stalls and
chapels, make the Amiens cathedral
Incompatible in many respects.
OF special historical interest to the
English is the cathedral of Rouen, for
it was there that the heart of Richard
Occur de Lion was buried prior to its
being removed to the Museum of An
tiquities. Another interesting fact re-
garding the Rouen cathedral is that
the notable south tower was built at
the end of the fifteenth century with
what was termed indulgence" money,
received by the church for permission
to eat butter during Lent.
The glorious cathedral of Chartres.
built chiefly between 1894 and 1860,
is noted for it's solidity as well as
beauty, one of it's two spires being
generally regarded as the most beau
tiful on the continent. Like most 9th
er famous French cathedrals, 1t has
some magnificent windows.

ANNUAL REPORT ON CANAL.
Governor Cocktails Says the Panama
Waterway Stands at S353,559,O49.

1OVcTnOr 1OSNHdIS DAYS the Panama
Waterway Stands at $353,559,049.
Washington, Nov. 17.-At the close
of the last fiscal year, June 30, 1914,
the cost of the Panama canal stood
at 1858, $50, 049.69, according to the
annual report of Col. George w. Goe-
thals, governor of the Canal Zone,
made public today. The figures in
clude the appropriation of August,
1914, and the collection and return
to the treasury of more than &c.
100000.
Another interesting feature of the
report is the paragraph telling of the
planning of the permanent town of
Balboa. The administration building
and the formal mall of buildings will
be on Balboa plain; on the slopes
of Sosa hill 20 acres have been set
aside for the quartering of employees
of the shops and terminals, opposite,
on the slopes of Ancon hill, which has
been named Balboa heights, an area
of 721a acres will accommodate en-
ployees working in the administra-
ton building.

BIG RESERVE BANK OPENED.
Federal Institution at Chicago Ready
for Business

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Federal Re-
serve bank of Chicago opened for
business today in the Rector building,
but some days probably will elapse
before the bank begins to issue cur
rency of the new form known as fed
eral reserve notes. The 100000 in
these notes which the bank ordered
from the federal reserve board in
Washington did not arrive. The delay
was ascribed to the large amount of
work involved in engraving the hun
dreds OF millions, of dollars worth of
new bills which will be made ready
for public circulation in the operation
of the new banking law.
When the federal reserve notes go
into circulation they will gradually
take the place of the Aldrich-Vree-
land emergency currency, on which
the banks now pay tax of 312 per
cent.
