UPWARD 7 j R n
To BE RAPID

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-When the
real upward turn in the stock
market takes place it will be
rapid in the view of Roger w.
Babson, well.known statiStician
and economist of Massachusetts.
Great opportunities for recoup-
ing losses and make profits will
be available, he believes.
He does not expect any ma
terial advance while the market
is a front page story for the
newspapers" however.
BabSon today spoke favorably
Of the Oil stocks. He added
Even If there were no new
cars on the market at all in
1880, oil would still be a good
buy. It takes more oil to run
a secondhand car than it does a
new one"

tail the first four lessons of the
course and outlined the work
that the club intends to take
up. He was introduced by j. S.
Downs, promotion manager of
The Times, who told of the faith
that the newspaper had in the
future Of aviation as one Of the
chief modes Of transportation.
When Captain Fonke asked
those present who had been on
airplane flights to raise their
hands, nearly everyone responded.
More than half of those present
signified that they had a limited
knowledge Of flying and several
score actually had flown planes.
Captain Fonke indicated that
later perhaps the more advanced
members will be segregated, so
that they will not have to go
over the elemental facts with
which they are already familiar.
He also indicated that a separate
class for women will be formed
later, when actual working on
motors is taken up.

"Ritzy" Betty Bronson's new Par amount picture, promises to be Of more than ordinary interest. Elinor Glyn, that well known master of modern fiction, wrote and produced it. But strange to say, Madame Glyn has strayed far from her usual haunts. The tiger skin is con- spicuous by its absence and in it's stead we have bright comedy Of American youth.
 As it's name suggests "Ritzy' is the tale of a girl who suddenly be- came high hat" stuck her head in the air and put on the ritz" /" Ritzy Brown felt that fate had set aside coronet for her pretty head.
