COMMERCE

Cleveland, o., May 7.-(By the \
P0-Virtually all economic factors
pointed to a quick, healthy expansion
of world commerce as soon as bust
ness confidence in America is re-
stored by clearer definition Of gov
ornamental relationship to business
Julius H. Barnes, president of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
predicted today in his annual ad-
dress to the 18th annual convention
of the Chamber. Approximately 5000
representatives Of business organiza-
tions are attending the four-day ses-
sions. Rehabilitation of European
commerce which is expected to re-
suit from the operations Of the
Dawes report on German finances
was pointed to by Mr.. Barnes as per-
haps the most hopeful sign on the
horizon Of world industry At home,
he pointed to the recuperating agri-
cultural industry and perceptible
sterilization Of the public sentiment
toward business as token of continu-
ed prosperity.
The present tendency toward re-
trenchment, he said, was due almost
entirely to financial uncertainty
growing out of the present govern
mental situation in Washington, in
which policies in taxation and trans
portation, the two fundamental
factors in the industrial life of the
nation, are awaiting determination.
The decision will clear the track for
business to proceed at full speed,
if it is not made too late, Mr.. Barnes
said.
Almost without exception, the
countries Of Europe today are max
ingNnoticeable progress toward poll
tical and economic stability, he said.

STENOGRAPHERS AND
SENATOR'S WIVES

The other day the wives OF three
United States senators called upon
the District OF Columbia coming
commission to protest against the
building of a two and three-rOOm
apartment house in the Sherida,
Circle section on the ground that
1t would be filled with govern
ment clerks, stcnOgraphers and
other undeSirablcS."
The Sheridan Circle Is fashion
able section where senator's wives
live. Just how thew would suffer
through the proximity OF anything
SO undesirable" as a stenOgraphe
Is not plain but it may be sur
missed
In appearance, dignity, poise, it
is quite possible that the stenOgra-
pher might be taken for senator's
| wife: or senator's wife for a
stenOgraph er Even in the matter
Of intellectually and charm the
mistake might easily be made-and
that ought not to be tolerated in
America.
A cabinet lady's recent insist
ence that the clerks in the depart
ments wear uniforms was probably
suggested by the grave danger that
a clerk might be taken for cab
met officer or member Of the
cabinet for a clerk
Would il not be well to have the
ladies of the diSnitaries labelled
with streamers-''l am the wife of
a senator"Or 81 am the wife of a
cabinet officer? 1t might spare
TIE stenographers much annoy
ance. since it seems 81 difficult for
the average person to discriminate
from appearance or conversation.

LINCOLN'S FACE

Almost the only American writer
who has publicly taken ground
against the popular belief concern
ing Lincoln's personal appearance
was Nicolay, Lincoln's private sec
rotary, who says that to him there
was no oddly, eccentricity, awk-
wardness nor grOtesqueness in his
face, figure or movement; that on
the contrary, che was progresses
man was fairly considered, men
tally and physically, unusual height
and proportion. and general move
ment i'm body and mind"
Moreover, it appears from the
testimony of r.. II. Bartlett that
French artists were quick to rec
OgniZe and appreciate the beauty
Of Lincoln's face. 1t is to French
men, he contends, that is due the
credit of first seeing the true
oeanty of the life mask in Lincoln,
of approaching it, and describing
it.
When Bartlett took a plaster
copy, in 1877. to the oldest Paris
bronze founder to get it cast in
bronze, he put it down on the table
side by side with mask OF Able
Lammennais. The first words of
the founder were:
What 4 beautiful face, Why,
it's more beautiful and shows more
character than the abbe's. and we
think that is the handsomest one
in France. What an extraordinary
construction, and what fine forms
it has,"
Then thu founder asked who It
was. and added. al shall take pleas
ure in showing it to our principal
sculptors." Some weeks after
ward. when Mr.. Bartlett went to
get the bronze copy, the founder
told him that the sculptors he had
referred to and others had seen
the Lincoln. and had expressed
themselves in the most apprecia-
tive terms of what they saw in it.

Butter Has World

San Francisco, May 7.-Butter,

OF the 1923 market by the Calitcrria

Chicago and San Francisco, and the
prices in all cities, with due allow

During 1923 average pricea of
dairy products throughout the coun-

or less than the sugar coffee.
"Aso, that the butter costs three times much the
