New York, Dec, 4.-BeSleBeu ny
Christmas crowds that are doing
better buying than this season has
seen in many years, the merchants
of Greater New York are today
reporting such spending as shows
Enthusiastically that times are i'm
proving throughout this town. Not
only are the averaged priced gift
goods going over the counters rap
idlv to the middle and lower class
shoppers, but high priced luxur-
les are having an unprecedented
sale. the shopmen declare, as they
hasten to replenish empty shelves
with more and more expensive Of
ferings. AS an index of the re-
turn of much more prosperous
conditions among all the people
here, the economists hail this man
Hesitation of money-spending as
the most encouraging since the
war.
Radical Rise
Following the results OF the re-
cent election, every progressive,
liberal, radical and red follower
throughout this town appears TO
have thrown out his or her chest
and come strutting into the open
with demands for q surrender or
the national, state and city gov
eminent into the dictates OF anti
conservative doctrines. Mass meet
ings, lectures, circulars and per-
sonai canvasses have been used TO
call upon the legislators-eleet to
obey what these agitators consider
the mandate of the polls. In spite
of all this radical rumpus, 1t IL be-
1ieved by the veteran politicians
that New York City's delegations
in national state and municipal
government will not utterly lose
their heads before this sudden
stampede.
Home Hygiene
Calling upon the chemical lead
ers here to give them the Benefit
of the latest laboratory discoveries
to safeguard health, many organi-
cations of women of every section
OF this town are now planning to
devote their winter to some seri-
Gus study of hygiene in the home,
Not only in the tenements but in
the broWnstone blocks as well,
much sickness and loss of life can
be prevented by the use of the most
modern weapons for disease pre-
yention, these mothers and house
keepers believe, and they propose
to attack germs, exposure and bod
lily neglect with all the sinews of
defense that science can offer.
Since a part of the chemists job is
to work for healthier homes, 1t is
hoped that these wizards of the
test-tuhe may continue to function,
in spite of their discouraging treat
ment at the hands OF the national
congress.
Coal Coming
Sitting down at last more ana
more into the bins Of small con-
sumers, the coal crop that is being
rushed from the mines has just be-
gun to assure the plain people here
of heat for at least part Of the
coming winter. Now that the big
users of coal have almost filled UP
for the next few months, the deal
ers are coming around to slide a
few tons at time down the cell
lars OF humble householders. With
this few-weeks' supply, a promise
of more when needed is being CIV
en-. which those who have to heat
small houses hope will be MADE
good when the chill days Of mid
winter come along.
Turkey Tide
Almost a million good, fat tur-
KEYS have been consumed within
Greater New York over the
Thanksgiving day weekend, the
market men report. Few families
passed up the proper meat Tor TINS
feast, the records show. Evidently
New Workers. have had not only
the appetite but the price TO
tackle the bird that supplants the
eagle on this holiday.
