.COTHAMITES ARE
PREPARING FOR
BUSINESS BOON
Quietly Making Plans tor
the Increasing Activities
They Expect Before An
other Christmas.

New York, Dec. 26.-BelieVinS
that before the end of the new
year a business boom is bound TO
stir this whole country, both bank
ers and business men here are To-
day quietly making plans Tor the
increasing activities that they an
ticipate before another Christmas
Already concerted efforts to lay
basis for expectation to the ENDS
of the earth are being begun by the
men who are almost ready to back
such attempts to take part in the
trade Of the world, while the man,
ufacturers who must turn out
American products are being
treated by their bankers with
much more consideration than for
merly, 1t is reported. If the flnal
outcome of the disarmament con-
ference seems to lead toward q
real basis for enduring information
al peace, it is predicted that yam
kee men Of affairs will be among
the first to take advantage of its
results.
Taxation Trials.
That the income taxes or the
plain people of the middle classes
can not be whitfield down much
more than few dollars under the
new revenue law, is asserted BY
many men and women who have
Just begun to figure out their tax
1.-THE for the past year. Whatever
relief from the old heavy levy the
corporations may find on the lat
est income blanks it is pointed out
that little tightening of this bur-
den need be expected by the lam
lily folk who have to work for a
living. The deeper these pioneer
tax calculators go into the figuring
of their pending tax bill, the more
they are inclined to prepare for
about the same amount of pen
nance.
Doctors Delighted.
Deeply interested and delighted
with the prospect of securing the
aid of scientists in making OF
medicine q more exact science, tie
doctors of this town are now eag-
erly awaiting a start of the first
study Of the chemistry of the hu-
man body by chemists, physicists,
and other kindred experts. When
chemical research has helped to
more definitely determine the
chemical and physical processes
that make up largely the life Of
man, new basis for medical prac-
tice will have been laid, 1t is
agreed. With the saving of human
