The last week has brought
a lot to chronicle. Nearly all
of it has reflected increased ac-
tivity and improvement in prices
If advances in prices can be
correctly interpreted as improve
ment.
May wheat went to a new
high price for the year. So
did corn. Expanding cotton con-
sumption sent quotations within
a fraction of the years peak
figure, reached last month.
Copper crossed 141ac a pound
for the first time since its
post war slump. Tin also reached
q new high level for the year.
The iron and steel industry is
SO busy that the customary holi-
day shutdown is being curtailed.
Crude oil is being marked up.
New York stores record ex-
traordinarily active business,
and reports from the Middle
West are equally cheerful. Sears
Roebuck's mail orders this month
are more numerous than in any
previous December in the COM
pany's long history.
Stock quotations closed the
week four points above the
average quotation on December
/, and bonds remained firm
throughout the week around the
best prices Of the month.
Instead of continuing this kind
of chronicle, let me say that l
believe the continuance of good
times or the advent of poorer
times depends on whether or not
the Xmas spirit or its opposite
shall prevail. Just what do l
mean?
First, there is lacking the Xmas
spirit towards industry on the
part of the more pronounced
radicals who have been elected
to Congress.
There is lacking the Xmas
spirit towards the railroads by
multitudes of shippers and by
not a few State railway COM
missions.
There is lacking the Xmas
spirit towards the largest tax

summated. The reason Is obvious. The
biggest asset on the San Francisco
team is Infielder O'COnnel. who cost
the Giants $4,000. and McGraw nat
urally wants that investment pro-
tecteG.
AS Miller is one of the oldest play
ers in point of service in the National
league, having been in the circuit con-
tinuOusly since 1909, he reasoned that
the expensive rockies would benefit
greatly by Dots knowledge of National
league ways and coaching
In other words. a National league
veteran would be of much bigger help
to O'COnnell than some other selec-
ton who did not know National
league ways. Therefore. he was eager
to see that Dots copied the post.
Miller should be extremely valuable
to the San Francisco club, as player
as well as a manager.

GETS LOBERT'S GOAT

John LObert third baSeman in
years past for the Reds, PhillieS
and Giants, lives in Philadelphia
in the off season. There is not
more genial soul in the world
than John, but there is one sure
way to make his chOler rise. That
is to recall one of the few bone
head plays in which he was ever
implicated,
He was playing third for the
Phillies, and he tagged out Bob
Bescher, who tried to steal the
bag. 1t was the second out in
the fifth inning. but both Bescher
and LObert decided simultaneous
ly that it was the third. John
threw off his glove; and started
for the bench; Bob trOtted out
into left field.
And it took almost physical
violence on the part of Red DOin
and Joe Tinker to convince them
that they were wrong.

Many well known French firms
are devoting their window displays
entirely to pocket handkerchiefs of
the gayest colors, Some of these
are fittingly called "jazz handker-
chiefs" Beautiful spots of color are
they in brilliant fame, deep coral,
peacock blue and orange tones.
There are also very sheer white
linen handkerehiefs in small sizes
with borders of fine stripes in the
brightest of hues, or hsndkerchiefs
of linen in pale pastel shades may be
eordered with white stripes. Among
the what would now be considered
conservative handkerchiefs are those
of white linen with the corners en-
broidered with baskets of colored
flowers.

fectly in furs. Moleskin and seal
are often worked in what is called
the shell pattern--that is, cut
INTO bits and sewn together to simu-
late the markings of the tortoise.
The cape back, SO popular on the
new fall dresses, is frequently
worked out in fur. Breitschwantz.
or broadtail, is a favorite fur for
the cape on cloth dress.
There are other things besides the
fact that clothes are so layishlv
trimmed with fur that contribute to
the rich harvest being reaped by the
furrier. There is the circular cut
OF capes and panels which, of course
reqnires quantities of fur in their
making.
Ermine tails play a large part in
the trimming of clothes. One of the
best models of the season is a suit of
brown cloth with short box jacket
almost entirely covered with tails of
summer ermine. An attractive fea-
ture Of the jacket is the cuffs, which
are wide and loose, with the ern,ine
tails scattered over them and d
