~ EPENDABLE observers of the broader
| J trend of business conditions in Amer
lea agree, for the most part, with the
Federal Reserve Board, that developments
during February give more hopeful pros
pect." So commanding figure in the indus
trial world as Mr.. Charles M. Schwab de-
clares that the country has come through
the worst steel depression he has known in
his forty-one years Of experience, and he
adds: 81 feel more or less certain that very
shortly we shall regain and enlarge our for
eign commerce and restore the trade balance
we have lost" Cheerful words from such an
authority are not the pipings Of a profess
sional optimist, nor do they lack reinforce
ments and parallels in sundry other fields.
Particularly interesting are recent adj
vances in farm product values, the depres-
sion Of which has retarded general readjust-
ment. Grain prices moved forward in the
course of the month to such an extent that
cash wheat exceeded dollar and half, and
corn seventy five cents bushel. There was
also marked betterment in cattle prices.
AS for cotton, while receding from the high
est price for the year, spot upland mid
ding" to quote an official report, "held firm
ly within reasonable range of the highest
level" If this continues it will do much to
restore the farmers purchasing power,
thereby quickening all currents Of trade.
Still more significant is the fact pointed out
by the American Exchange National Bank,
of New York City, in it's monthly review,
that while agricultural prices have advanced,
general prices, including things which the
farmer must buy, have appreciably declined.
"This moving together of prices from op-
posite extremes forms new basis for in
creased confidence in the immediate future"
To these heartening omens may be added
the marked increase in car loadings and the
vigor of building activities, particularly in
the South. The former has been continuous
since the early part of January, the week
ended February the 18th showing a gain
over the same week of 1920, which was a
record year. This indicates, of course, an in
try as whole the building record for the
last two months has been notably good: new
construction in January reached figure ex-
ceeded only once before, for that month, in
our history. In the South the rate of in
crease in building has been much more mark
ed than the average for other regions. Es-
pecially gratifying is Atlanta's record of
more than million dollars of new construc-
ton in February, most of it representing
homes.
Those who watch most closely and most
widely are not INDUCING in high-flown
prophecies for the months ahead, nor pre-
tending that the present is all that could be
wished. But they do report appreciable i'm
provements in number of directions, and
bid the rank and file of us labor firm in the
faith that diligence, energy and cooperation
will bring their reward.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

r N the course of a year get thousands of
letters from wives asking me for some
- genuine, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, follow-this-
rule and-you-cannot-fail recipe for keeping
their husbands in love with them.
The great majority of wives pine for af-
lection. They yearn for husbands who take
some interest in holding their hands, who
are still as thrilled over coming home at
night to them as they used to be when they
went accounting, and who bestow upon their
| lips sizzling kisses, instead Of giving them
dry-as-dust pecks that are as apt to light on
the tips Of their noses. or the back Of their
ears as anywhere else.
Now comes woman who tells me that her
husbands affection bores her to extinction,
and who is a-wearied of him because he dogs
her footsteps as faithfully as pet pug pup
py and she asks If can tell her any way by
which she can kill his love-
should say th~t killing a husbands love
was about the easiest job on earth, Judging
by the frequency with which we see 1t done.
Nothing else is so common as to see an i'm
passioned sutton turn into an Indifferent hus-
band in the course of a single year, and this
has led US to believe that the trick is not
how to Stay mans love, but how to keep
it alive.
But if a wife is really in earnest about
wanting to kill her husbands affection for
her there are three simple ways by which
she can do it. She can shock it to death, or
stuff it to death, or starve it to death.
The shock method is an easy and fatal
way Of dealing with the problem because it
is blow right in the eyes from which a
man seldom RECEIVERS. Men are much more
romantic than women, and much more given
to illusion where the opposite sex is concern
ed. That Is why the peaches and living pic
lures have the call over the Cinderellas A
man must vision the woman he loves as
beautiful, and dainty, and angel trailing
robes Of pink chiffon across a workaday
world.
The surest and quickest way to dispel this
dream, and to smash the romance into
smithereens is for a woman to discard all of
the niceties of the toilette and appear be-
fore her husband slovenly and unkempt.
One Of the most famous men in the United
States once told me that his conception Of
the ideal wife, Of whom a man would never
tire, was woman whose husband didn'
know, after they had been married ten years.
whether her hair was her own or not. No
woman who applies liberal supply Of cold
cream to her face at night will be annoyed
by her husband kissing her, and a consistent
appearance around home in slouchy wrap
pers, and curl papers, and rundown -at-the-
heel slippers can be confidently guaranteed
to shock the most robust love to death
If, in addition to these precautions, she
keeps a cluttered house where everything
is at SKIES and sevens, and the meals are ill
cooked ard always late she need not worry
about the danger Of having her husband I'M
der foot all the time. He will beat 1t away
to some more comfortable spot, and general
ly to some woman who looks more like his
ideal lady-love.
1t is likewise easy enough to stuff love

Trotzky Feeds His Army

ut is singular commentary on the an
nounced ambitions of the Soviet regime
that in ADMINISTRATION Russia today the
best way to assure ones self of steady diet
is to join the army The pet theory of the
extreme communist is the abolition of strife
and it's machinery, with the consequent pro-
motion of peace and good-will-and the
well-laden dinner table.
Now we have in Russia the homogeneous
spectacle of Leon Trotzky, the war minister
and why a war minister, under the new
dispensation?- stuffed with proteids and
vitamines," says The New York Tribune re-
viewing in the Red Square of the famous
Krem1in 'rthe well-fed Moscow garrison on
the fourth anniversary of the organization of
the Red Army.
HE returns snappily the sa1utes of vet
Grams who served Russia in real battles, -
continues the account-battles, we all know,
that took place when this same TrotZky was
a hungry, out-at-elbows pamphleteer among
the Comrades in Manhattan, in our own
country.
And the Kremlin towers, from which the
great Napoleon looked down on burning Mos
cow more than century ago, never have
supplied the background of a military scene
more utterly fantastic.
Climax of incongruity, the most solid
achievement of Lenine and TrotZky has been
the Red Army.
Industry in Russia has gone to wreck. The
economic structure has been smashed. Pro
duction is nil Crops are not.
But in numbers and discipline and equip
| ment, the Red Army has progressed from
year to year.
AS The Tribune points out, it is not hard
to understand why a soldier Of the former
car will seek service in the Red Army. It is
to escape starvation.
And it is no more difficult to understand
why army recruiting in Soviet Russia is easy
the full dinner pail has been used in our
own country as a political slogan, when it
was mere figure of speech and not stern
essential.
The mystery in the situation is the curious
inertia of the great mass Of the starving, be-
| labored Russian people, who are permitting
a comparatively small Communist minority
to impose it's will on ruined country through
this very military force.
One Of these fine mornings the army will
bob up with leader of energy and decision,
whose name is neither Trotzky nor Lenine.
Then there will be sudden and sharp
REVOLUTIONARY the Soviet nightmare will
go out in a lurid flare of musketry; and the
| fl act of the present play will be staged in
| the historic square Of the Kremlin, with
| Lenine and Trotzky as principal actors but
receiving no encomiums from the assembled
| populace.

SHARP SENSES

1t was very diverting, that incident of
the movie actress and her friend, the ele-
plant. They had played together for some
time before they were moved to new
location. During the first night the ele-
phant grew uneasy at his strange surround
ngs. And restlessness in an elephant means
action. He went careering through the I'M
known streets, picked out the house where
she lodged, and began, with elephantine
tactlessness, to wrench off windows, tear
up by the roots the posts of it's foundations.
Nor could he be dissuaded until she came
out and by what arts I know not treasured
him.
Now, scent was his only clue. Yet it is
not incredible that he found her. Never
do l watch wild creatures without envying
them that keenness of sense by which they
are aware of many fact I do not dream
before I read it in their actions. I cannot
tell what I took for a rustling leaf was the
barrier hawk until cock sparrow dives for
his thicket. Or how the little bear OWNED
my presence on his mountain slope until
he scufles off and I decipher by what de-
vious route Of air drainage my scent has
reached him.
I am less envious of my dog. She is
merely nose-minded where trust my eyes;
if she is somewhat keener of ear she is
slower Of imagination; we merely compile
ment each others deficiencies. But she is
a dullard compared to the alert coyote,
just as I would be beside some sharp
sensed bushman. How does civilization
work this change?
Our thyroid gland is the throttle which
governs our discharge of bodily energy
the thing which brings lump in our
Threats, quickens our pulses and our
breathing, or even bathes us in a chill OF
perspiration when we are alarmed. 1t lenses
our nerves to performing, in the pinch,
those feats Of activity we would judge i'm
possible at normal times. When some
physical unbalance leaves this throttle ajar
we have a disease which has been defined
as Chronic anxiety" And super
sharpness of senses is one of it's signs.
Chronic anxiety-over enemies, over the
ever-active hunger to- fill the fuel tanks
their racing engines burn-is this what keys
the world to such alertness? Do routine
meals and street. lights soothe us to what
would mean to the gormandizing bushman
chronic relaxation? Are our senses only
quiescent because our attention centers on
other things.
What I chiefly wonder is how far that
elephant could scent his conidante in the
state of mind he was in. And was it a rat
that frightened him?

While looking woman over man should
note that she has one good point-she does
not very often make public comment on man s
attire and grooming. She has, for example,
her own preferences as to boards or no
boards, mustaches or no mustaches, but she
leads no crusades against styles of facial
adornment for men. She hates suspenders and
shirt sleeves and she may say, Henry, put
on your coat" But she does not ask that
city ordinances be passed to minimize the
temptations to young women who are af-
fected by informally in dress.
Nine women out of ten, unaccustomed to
the sight, cannot conceal their interest or
embarrassment when they see male athletes
in the scanty attire of the runner, the vault
er or the member of the boating crew; yet
women do not write letters to universities
asking them to keep their specimens of
masculine musculature on the back campus.
Much criticized and commented on her
self, woman holds her peace. Is this because
she realizes that to refrain from making pub
lie comment or taking organized action on
personal matters is little courtesy that oils
the wheels of daily living and that it would
be better for all if the courtesy were return
ed?
Somebody might ask her. Perhaps she
would tell.-Chicago Daily News (Ind.l.

Made Model of
"NO Mans Land"

Captain G. W. Beerworth, late
Of the Canadian Engineers, was in
St. Johnsbury over the week end
with Mrs. Beerworth preparatory
to touring the country with his
model of mo Mans Land, a
work of great skill showing among
other features that section Of che
Hlndenberg line which was pene-
trated by the American troops.
The exhibit was shown in Newport
in the early spring and attracted
wide interest.
Captain Beerworth is a native
of Richford bat his early life was
spent in Tenne 5see and he left that
state in the early days of the war
to enlist with a Canadian contin-
gent. Tennessee is building
two million dollar memorial build
ing in Nashville which will be
completed in year and Captain
Beerworth's model together with
his collection Of world war relics
will occupy place in the building.
Mrs. Beerworth who has been
in the garment department at
Berry BalPs the past year, has
completed her work and will assist
Captain Beerworth in his exhibit.
He left Monday for Newport and
Mrs. Beerworth will join him
