Singing has also some physical

must breathe deeply and sit or stand

OF business revival says:
What we now need is confidence
that the country is not permanently

and that the volume OF business Is
going TO pick up steadily and con-
sistently. Once confidence Is fully
restored demand will increase. fac
tory orders will be booked in vol

work again. jobbers and dealers will
find a ready outlet for their goods.
and consumers will have the where

comes prices are likely to soar for
there is very little in reserve in the
storehouse and everybody will be

the storm warning in 1921 when the

they got caught with large inven-

RATLEDGE DARTS
AWAY FROM COPS

to have been Ratledys the machine
and liquor have been kept at the
police station. Sergeant OF Detec-
tives Horace MCDANIEL says the
police do not know who Owns the
car. although they are making CT
forts 10 trace the owner by the
numbers on different parts Of the
machine.
At least one attempt. IS Is said,
has been made by Ratledge to fix
things" so that he could return 20
Wilmington. The alleged attempt
took place over the telephone and
Ratledge is said to have called up
the Detectives Bureau, from Phil
adelphia. As soon as the detectives
here learned who was talking an
atempt was made to prolong the
conversation while an officer hur-
ried TO another telephone and get
in touch with Philadelphia TO try TO
have Ratledge arrested. Evidently
his suspicious were aroused as he
suddenly hung up and left the place
where he had been talking.
In addition to their trailing of
Ratledge the detectives have also
kept watch on the woman who was
found in the Ratledge car with the
liquor by the detectives last week.
Another angle which has so far
been carefully kept under police
cover Is the alleged connection with
the Ratledge automobile deals OF
several men in Dover. One OF these
men came from Dover yesterday and
made no secret of the fact that he
desired to fix things up" so that
Ratledge may have the charges
against him dropped. Just what
this Dover man has with
the automobile transactions the
police refuse to disclose. but do not
hesitate to say that when the fun
story is known It will create a SEN
sation."
Superintendent of Police Black
said. this morning, in discussing the
Ratledge case, that he will ask the
Department of Public Safety this
afternoon to renew its investigation
of charges. or intimations, in certain
that the Bureau OF Po-
lice has been shielding gamblers or
other violaors OF the law.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Department OF Public
Safety several weeks ago.
