 Camera men and moving picture pho tographers clicked and cranked their synthetic eyes continuously. Some of them had been taking pictures of the bal loonists since they came out of the snow bound trail into Matt:ce last Tuesday, but they fired away as energetically as the argus-eyed battalion of colleagues who joined them in New York today.
 The tumult and the shouting died as the trio of airnen, greeted by 250 other service men, entered the naval air sta tion. It was all over but a court of in- quiry which will investigate the famous | trip. The crowd went home to change | into dry clothes and the balIoonists walk. l ed to their quarters.

REVIEW SHOWS GROWING NEED FOR MERCHANDISE

New York, Jan. 14-Dun's tomorrow will say:
 While progress toward recovery is more clearly discernible, rcviving demand in some quarters of late has only developed after further price yielding, and waiting is still the rule in lines where an exten- sion of the price defation Is seemingly foreghadowed.
 Indications multiply, however, that cer- tain trades are beginning to emerge from their long-continued lethargy, the i'm proyement in dry goods conditions being especially conspicuous. and the increased attendance of buyers in some of the lead- ing markets is evidence alike of their re- rewed interest and growing need for merchandise.
 While purchasing Is still cautious and restricted, if is larged in some instances than had been expected, and is the more wholesome and reassuring because it is based on actual renpiraments and not on speculative anticipationa.

is the acoustics of this wonderful building that one can hear the sound of dropped pin"
 Takes Experts Judgment
 q feel that the judgment of q representative committee and of ex- perts is better than mine on the audi torium question:" says Robert Jemi- son, Jr.
 The site was selected by a pro- cess of elimination, and facing Wood row Wilson park, as it does, if erect ed 1t would fit into a civic center plan.
 Besides there Is plenty of space to park autos there. The architect who was consulted is considered among the best in the country, and he ap- proved the site after taking into con sideration many of the objections which have been raised lately.
 Approved by Committee
 "The citizens committee spent much time and effort on the matter and approved the location, and 1t seems to me that expert opinion Is worthy of some consideration. I can suggest nothing better, so if I can not criticise constructively I prefer to refrain from criticism. If some other site had been selected there would probably have been much criticism of the selection, no matter what place might have been chosen
 'I favor the auditorium plan. I do not think the matter of noise is one to cause any apprehension. All the big theatres in New York are either near elevated or surface car lines and located on streets where thousands of autos pass every hour"
 Thinks Problem Is Big
 "I think the present site for the auditorium is close enough in," says J. Smolian.
 'I fear there Is not enough park ing room adjacent to it. Few people. realize just how much space Is need- ed to take ample care of automobiles these days. It's 8 big problem and ought to have it's proper weight with the architects and the commission.
 T am not so sure that the noise from the railroads can be overcome if measures sufficient are taken to insure perfect ventilation. I think. however, the present architects are able to handle the situation.
 'I hope provision will be made for at least 5000 seating capacity. The bonds voted ought to provide for a first-class auditorium"
