A Real Man With Real Sense

it was our pleasure the other day to listen to a real
man with real sense as he gave his views on present day
business conditions.
Tn effect he said that business was as usual in the Val
ley. To be sure, he was of the opinion that the usual sum-
mer slump was on, but he knew that this slump had come
every year for the past ID years, and that in all probability
it would come every year for the next Is years.
So the slight falling off his business was experiencing
was not worrying him in the least.
He stated that he was keeping after his business, seek
ing to plug up the little leaks that every business has, 60
ing after new business whenever he thought he saw an
opportunity of creating new business.
In other words, just because the summer business
soltice was under way, he was not neglecting to give his
affairs the same cheerful consideration he gives them
when things are humming.
Nothing so remarkable in that attitude.
But there is something remarkable in what follows.
While not neglecting his affairs, he was nevertheless
giving more time to personal enjoyment and amusement
than Ne finds himself able to give during the rush months
of the year.
Tennis, golf, outings at Boca Chica with his family, all
of these amusements are keeping him fit and trim.
He has more time during the summer months to amuse
himself, so he gets more recreation than is possible dur
ing the fall, winter and spring.
Tn 50 doing, he is serving two ends.
First, he is having a good time, and a good time is the
best tonic for anybody, old or young.
Second, he is getting in the proper physical and mental
shape to handle his job of directing one Of the Valleys
foremost business concerns when the fall rush begins.
Too many Of our business men, IN and out OF the val
lev, are spending their leisure time these summer days
standing on the street corner discussing the good old days,
while what business they may have is going to the dogs.
That same time, spent in figuring ways and means OF
helping their business, could be made to return dividends
of definite value, if not Immediately, surely in the months
to come.
reation and exercise, would sharpen the mind, improve
the body, and put these same men on edge to fight their
business battles with more telling effect.

The CORVALLIS Affair

These people who insist that CORVALLIS surrender
be left out Of the "birth Of the nation pageant at York
town. out Of respect for tender British sensibilties. seem
to be inspired by noble motives. The only trouble is that
they don't go far enough.
If we are to fix things UP so that all reminders Of
the misfortunes Of the British lion in North America are
o5literated, there are a good many other things that will
have 10 be done.
There ~. for instance, the matter Of the u. S. s.
Constitution. recently reconditiOned at great expense.
Hasn't anyone remembered that almost all the Old Iron
sides famous victories were won against the British?
Obviously the only decent thing to do is tow the ignoble
vessel out beyond the tip Of Cape Cod and sink it, quietly
and without a fuss.

Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Archery,
outdoor bowling and coconut milk
are among the summer headliners
Of Broadway.
Ping-pong gives some slight as
sistance to neglected pigmy golf
courses. And several Of the orange
drink stands along the highway
have taken to frappeS by way OF
being different.
Otherwise. midsummer finds
the celebrated main stem" dow
der and more cheaply raucous
than ever. Visitors from the small
towns Of America must wonder
why the Manhattan natives don't
so to a good county fair some day,
and have 1t over with.
The cOconut drink, whose origin
and content r not known to me,
appears to be made while you wait
from fresh coconuts. And archery,
1t seems. is quite the vogue. A set
up Is possible in almost any Of
the store buildings that seem TO
have a terrific turnover in tenants.
One night, a shady auction sale Is
being held and on the next a gypsy
fortune teller has moved in: some
new device for shining shoes ap-
pears, to be followed within a
month by a sale OF cheap shirts,
neckties and socks.
Sidewalk necktie vendors have
appeared in numbers and upstairs
lofts invite the timid souls to learn
TO dance; you can get your picture
taken ON a little card that also
tells your weight.
Cheap clothing and cheaper hats
make a bid for the trade Of actors
who have been out Of work through
the winter and who. somehow. can
raise so cents or 81 for a new straw
and a few dollars more for a light
summer suit.
The dollar-dOwn spots take no
chances, payrolls on Broadway be-
ing what they are.
Well, it's now possible to find
your way around New York with
out consulting the first blind man
you meet.
A corps of information" police
now patrols the areas most likely
TO be frequented by visitors. They
are young and polite, and should
be Of great value to New York taxi
drivers who rarely know their way
to Gramercy Park, for instance.
And whatever the depression
may have done to New Workers,
II has brought a new civility and
solicltOusness. Taxi men, who once
might have growled, are more than
eager 70 be OF service these days.
Even box office gents have grown
more human and will deign TO
talk to a mere cash customer. IN
fact, never have / noticed such a
willingness TO oblige.
Which, in this mans town, IS
worth almost any price.
And having mentioned ping-pong
IN an earlier paragraph. l was
recently advised by mail TO avoid
an error already made BY a weekly
publication and some fellow column
scribblers who would have had the
world believe that ping-pong balls
are made only in Westport. Conn.
Having something Of a genius for
useless information. I have learned
that this is not exactly the case.
Massachusetts, lays proud claim to
such a factory. A big-game gent
named Parker Is the official ping
ponger, l am told. and the word
itself Is an importation from Eu-
rope.
