1t was learned yesterday that John

ter OF Pretty Soft" the Paul NJ. Potter
farce which opened In the Morosco The
atre Thursday night to determine to
what extent IL can be considered offen-
sive, and whether Its character would

No complaints from citizens or police
inspectors had been received UP to yes

Police Inspector John Daily. Chief
Magistrate McAdoo, VINO made ''Tiger

cipient of a protest. Regardless of
whether ono comes or not, he Is not
likely to take cognizance Of the new

The great activity to-day is based

fessor Fisher. "and the sooner the
business men of the country take this
view and adjust themselves to it the
sooner will they save themselves and
the nation from the misfortune which
will come if we persist in our present
false hope"
After setting out the circumstances
and developments on which this con-
clusion is based, Professor Fisher con-
cludes his study of the situation with
this: Business men should face the
facts. To talk reverently of, 1924
prices is to speak dead language to-
day. The buyers Of the country, since
the armistice, have made an unexam-
pied attack upon prices through their
waiting attitude, and yet price recess
sions have been insignificant. The rea-
son is that we are on a new high price
level, which will be found stubborn
reality. Business men are going to
find out that the clever man is not the
man who waits, but the one who finds

To the man not e. The real estate
profession such a condition is difficult
to understand, because most business
is limited now by the factor of high
cost of production, based on abnormal
labor and material prices. This very
factor which is causing stagnation, at
least temporarily in most lines of
trade, is the very one responsible for
the present widespread real estate &C

be on an entirely different basis. Natu-

Seeks Widening
Of Madison Avenue
Committee, Headed by Law.
renee e. Gilman, Wants
Street Broadened

An active campaign has been revived
by the Madison Avenue Committee and
the Fifth Avenue Association for the
widening of Madison Avenue from
Forty-sixth to Sixty-frst Street Law
renee B. Gilman has been appointed
chairman OF the committee.
A movement of this kind was under
way before, but the war interfered with
the work and little was ACCOMPLISHED.
The organization has already sought
the aid Of the President Of the borough
IN an effort to have the movement sue
cesstully carried through. The COM
mlttee IS making canvass of the own
ers of Madison Avenue properties be-
tween the streets named for their CO.
operation and assistance on the prof.
ect. In the building of the Biltmore
Hotel provision for widening the street
was made. The committee believes that
the widening will not only be Of great
benefit to Madison Avenue, but will
help in a large way to relieve the con-
gestion on Fifth Avenue.

are Douglas L. Gilman. John Nee.
