RESERVE BOARD PREDICTSBREAK
 IN RECESSION
Revival Is Expected Tc Have More Than Tenn
 porary Life

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Indica- tions of a break in the business recess sion that began with the new year were shown today in the Federal Reserve Boards review for May. Though the activity in some lines can be traced to seasonal increases, officials said the tone was healthier and expressed the belief that the resulting revival would have more than. temporary life.
 There were indications also that con structive programs were under con sideratiOn in some business circles which few months ago were content to meet only the demands upon them and make no future plans.
 Greater credit demands were evidnt in the past 30 days, but these were met entirely by local financial institutions and the lowering earning assets of the federal reserve banks were not in- creased. While the renewed demands for funds showed, in the opinion of treas ury officials, a squirt in business, they also indicated that commercial banks had plenty of money available for loans with the result that rates were easier.
 Crops We'll Advanced
 Despite unfavOrable weather condi- tions, the survey showed agricultural operations were further advanced than at the same date last year and com pared favOrably with an average for ten years.
 There was an increase in crop and live stock prices, contrary to the down. ward movement of general commodity prices and the purchasing power of farm products reached the highest point since March, 1922.
 Grain, particularly winter wheat and rye, were in better condition than last May. Only about s per cent of the winter wheat acreage was abandond, the smallest with the exception of 1917 since 1913, the report said. The ks. tlmated acreage was about 37,OOO, 900, On the basis of department agriculture calculations May l, the survey said the yield of winter wheat should be about 9o5,OOO,OOO bushels, 100000 bushels below last year.
 Weather conditions during April and May continued unsatisfactory for the growing cotton crop in many sections. the survey showed. Planting has been delayed by low temperatures and ex- eessiVe rains and much replanting has Deen necessary. but fertilizers are be- Ing used in increasing quantities.
 Exports increased in the first two weeks ot May and were larger than the corresponding period last year and were greater also than in April. This con tinued export demand, together with a N.IW III Ialrly well sustained domestic call, has reduced the available supply of raw coIton' the survey said and stocks in elined. "

The convention will go on and on, full of confident pre- diction and Oratory and with an occa- siOnal fight in the aisles. Then a morn- ing will dawn when all the boys will say:
 "Aw, less not go to the hall today. There won't be nothing doing today. Less have another drink"
 That day, Mir. Conner says, those who have sat fast in the hall will name prohibitionist.

 MISSION INQUIRY
MOdernist Baptist Dele gates Move To Rescind
 Investigation Order

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 1.-An eleventhm hour move to rescind the ac- tion of the Northern Baptist conven- tion in naming a commission of seven persons to investigate the board of man agers O fthe American Baptist Foreign Mission society for sending out mis. sionaries founded in Liberal faith, was Started today by a small group of dele gates classed among the mOdernists in the convention here.
 The movement has reached point to- night, it is said, where a motion to re- scind was in the process of drafting for presentation either tomorrow or Tuesday. In several meetings, includ- ing that of the Baptist Bible union, late today, fundamentalist speakers warned members of the union and all fundamentalists against departing for their homes before the close of the convention, in view of such cOntem- plated action.
 Dr. J. c. Massee, Boston, who in- troduced the motion for investigati tion, also was requested to remain on the ground.

A good operator should make a lot of money here. A few street corners are still to be had.
 Mistinguett, the French comedienne, opened here in show which is mostly dullness and nudity. She is a real ar ] tist. But one is forced to retell the story of the Paris judge and the stock ing maker. Mistinguett had refused to pay for stockings made for her.
 They do not fit" said she.
 The judge heard all the evidence, in cluding the aSseveration that Mistin- guett's legs are valued for insurance purposes at million francs. He re- mained unmoved.
 Judgment for the plaintiff" he ruled. When a womf n gets to be as ] old as Mistinguett it makes no differ ence whether her stocking fit or not. "

 Girl Also Leaves Note
 In the hours that followed the sui eide of Mason, Cecil Werner, the girl who loved him, likewise reflected on the swift sequence of events which followed her brief romance with the director and just before she ended her life she, too wrote note, portion of which reads:
 Tt is too much for me-not worth the ending.
 Tt all seems so futile to me. I an not the least bit afraid"
 When the young actress killed her self she disregarded the advice of tn, man she loved, who had written in hi farewell epistle:
 Never lose your sense of humor 1 Always keen your head"
 Refused to Be COnsOIed
 Shortly after she received the new of Mason's suicide in a hotel room, Mis- Werner shut herself up in her owl room. She refused to be consoled. Sh refused to eat. She spent hours weep ing.

LET WOMEN
PAY
By John p. Medbury

A PROMINENT welfare worker
IA says that when a girl goes
AAout to dinner with a man
she should pay her, own check
whether the fellow objects or not.
This Is a good idea and II q dame
insists upon settling for the meal
there are very few men who
would put up. a struggle.
All a dame has to do r. to show
the slightest desire to pay it and
her escort win be glad to give In.
There's no harm in a man TAX
ing a girl to a restaurant Tor

out Of ten she's just coming OH
OF q diet. y
When any woman fasts for two
weeks or a month some man has
TO pay for it in the end.
She reduces at her own ex-
pense, but gets her weight back
again at yours.
This. is the reason so many men
allow a girl to talk about nerseI:
They want to keep her mind OH
Of food.
The average dame II elways
ready to eat. She doesn't have to
have any excuse for being hungry.
Every restaurant 10 q reason.
One girl had to get married he
fore she discovered there was
any other kind Of sea food except
lobster.
It was only two days after the
wedding that her husband switched
her, to filet Of sole.
After eating porterhouse steaks
she finds it hard to get used to
hamburger.
But the husband IL the one
who's eating all the swell food
now. i
He doesn't have to worry about
hurting her feelings, he's married
to her.
While they were engaged ene
ordered whatever she wanted. Now
she orders what he tells her.
Once a month he let's her order
lobster, but he always takes her
to a place where they haven't
got it.
You take the average girl into
q cafe and she reads off the menu
like 1t was newspaper.
It's a wonderful idea to let the
DANES pay for their meals as 1t
will make them much easier to
handle when you take them out.
A girl who pays her own check
won't become accustomed to such
good food.
