CONFIDENCE is RESTORED

THERE was a heavier Christmas business III the
United States in 1921 than in 1920 Market re-
ports from all sections OF the country show thai
wholesalers sent out more goods than year ago
and retail merchants in practically all the cities have
reported heavier business than in 1920.
This increase in the volume OF business is iraugh
with much meaning to the country Christmas buy
ing is almost exclusively luxury buying. BY far the
greater amount OF merchandise and toys that are
purchased for the holidays is made up OF such
classes OF merchandise as could be we'll gotten along
without as lar as actual living necessities are con
cerned.
It follows then that American business men are
ready to buy uxuries That could not mean any
thing except that confidence has been restored
Men are no longer afraid to spend what they nave
The fear that they will not be able to restore
their supply OF money has been overcome. Fear is
the worst enemy business ever had Fear seems to
lave taken its flight confidence has come to take its
place This is not 1 empty remark. 1t is back
ed by actual trade conditions and based upon the IN
crease OF expenditures.
Confidence produces normal buying. Normal
buying puts factories 20 work Factories give EN-
poyment TO labor.
There will be greater consumption during 1922
than during the year that is closing It's eyes More
automobiles and trucks will be marketed and more
farm machinery will be purchased and more clothing
bought and people generally will live better
= Each community will have a few problems to
solve This city has few white men out OF work
aud it has larger number.of colored- people White
men have been given preference in giving out Jobs
and as a result there some good hard working
negroes in this city that have been without work and
the civic clubs OF the city might do well to take up
the problem and secure labor for al least portion
OF these people.
When Ardmore stars work its big dam in
the mountains and when the county stars to work
10 use one million dollars on the roads every man
will then have plenty OF work. But until those cam
paigns open some temporary employment should be
given to a few workmen in this city.

ELEPHANT WRECKS FENCE;

He flares up at the slightest excuse.

Roger can throw his trunk over 1t. He
did this yesterday and large crowd
gathered to watch him. Among them
were small boys. They had peanuts,
which they are not supposed to bring
into the park. and also pebbles. They
were not allowed under the park rules
to feed the elephant. but no keepers
were about and they fed him.
But they alternated their pebbles and
peanuts. After he had received a few
pebbles In his trunk, Khartum began to
get angry. He got worse and worse as
the boys threw pebbles at him. Finally
he began to stamp and snort and pull
up tufts of grass and throw them high

TAKES FLIGHT TO GET
VOICE BACK, GETS SICK
Woman Still Dumb After
Nose DiUe and Spins.

Mrs. Frank Adams. SO, OF 15s Elwood
avenue. Newark. was taken up in an
a.rplane yesterday in the hope that the
thrill would restore the use OF her
voice, lost five years ago when she was
stricken with vocal paralysis. John
Adams. son of the woman. who had
read Of the physical wonders worked
through shock and thrill. arranged with
Billy Hughes. an aviator neighbor OF
l4S Deiavan street. TO take his mother
up in his airplane The flight was
made yesterday afternoon near Perth
Amboy. n. J.. and for half an hour
Hughes put his machine through loops,
tall spins. nose dives and various other
stunts at a height of between 5000 and
5000 feet
Mrs. Adams knew the purpose OF the
flight. but she did not know that 1t was
the intention of Hughes TO put so many
fancy twists on the plane. When they
alighted she was very Ill. Her voice
showed no signs of Improvement but
immediate improvement was not ex-
pected. 1t is hoped that the reaction
OF the flight on the wornan's nervous
system may restore the use of her voice
within a few days.
