New York, Jan. Eagerly APP
praising every possible prospect
for prosperity, the people of this
city are today preparing to enter
the new year, ready for some start
of a return to better times than
they have experienced since the
opening of the world war. Though
lack Of legislation. defining perma-
nent tax and tariff conditions may
hamper immediate plans for extern
sions in business to meet new world
trade conditions, the men who
make, sell and ship goods here de-
clare that the pressing need for
manufactured products may Of it.
self serve to start the wheels turn
ing again before the close of 1921.
From the, financial centers down
town, some signs are already be-
ginning to show that make the pro-
phets predict n big boom in COM
mercial undertakings by the time
that the next winter season comes
on,
Sane Spending.
That the holidays were marked
by the most sane and steady buy
ing that has ever tested and sus-
tanned the merchants here. has just
been reported from the shops and
stores all over town. AS discrimi-
mating as they are determined. a
constant stream of purchasers have
patronized every variety of sales
counter in every section during the
last few weeks. While less reck-
less spending and more bargaining

Christmas period. the man behind

better satisfied than they have been
over complete returns of sales for

Doctors Delight.
Delighted at the prospect Of sub
stantial aid in advancing their work
by means of chemical research, the
doctors of this town have now be-
gun to take n deep interest in the
possibilities of making medicine a
more exact science through collab-
grafton by chemists, biologists,
pharmacologists, bacteriologists and
Psychologists. After profound inves-
tigation of this scientific opportuni-
" to save and sustain human life,
the scientists concerned have just
announced their readiness to join
hands for the benefit of medicine.
When the chemistry of the body
has been more thoroughly studied

will tend to become more and more
of a definite attack upon known
chemical conditions that breed dis
ease.
Hold-1'ps Halted.
Just az the small shops all over
town were beginning to turn them
selves into an armed camp against
bold bands of hold-up men. the .po-
lice have closed in and taken
emergency measures to call a halt
on this open brigandage Squads OF
armed detectives mounted on mo-
torcycles are now touring every
part Of the city by day and by
night, ready to swoop down upon
the bandits at the first cry of their
victims. Though it is estimated
that almost a thousand clever
crooks are scheming every day to
pull off n surprise robbery, the po-
licemen have at last succeeded in
limiting somewhat the scope of
their operations.
Subway Stiles.
n Though they possess all the
noise of a machine gun battery and
the kick of an aeroplane propeller.
the new turnstiles at the subway
gates are already training the pub
lie here to go over the top with
courage and speed. Nickles in
stead Of tickets have saved the
wages OF many a seller and chop
per, though the man who now
makes change can still hold up ana
glare at the car customers. New
Workers have been trained to try
almost anything once. especially
when they have to.
