SHOP HAS THREE FIRES
Loss Placed at $1,000 After Series
of Blazes Keep Firemen Busy.

Three separate fires within a few
hours yesterday caused $1,000 damage
at the tailoring shop of Gus Carassas,
1855 K street, and kept firemen running
back and forth between their engine
house and the shop.
The first blaze started when a can
OF gasoline exploded. 1t was put out
shortly after 2 o'clock. Three hours
later another fire broke out, apparently
caused by smoldering ashes. This time
several flremen were stationed to see
that the ashes died out without another
blaze.
Hardly had they left the store when
the third alarm was turned in. Carassas,
attempting to straighten out the electric
wiring, had caused a short circuit,
starting another blaze.

BY CLARENCE s. DEXTER.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, November
20 (P.-Furniture men are smiling
again. They have ridden out the
storm, and now, with virtually every
other industry in the world, are facing
the period of reconstruction. 1t is the
first time in three years that furniture
manufacturers and dealers can look
ahead without fear.
The recovery was inaugurated in No.
vember with announcement Of price in
creases by many Of the furniture manu-
featuring companies, some Of whom
pledged at the same time that there
would be no reduction in the next six
months. This ended q steady decline
of three years which has Topped about
so per cent of the price Of manufac-
tured furniture.
May Require Two Years.
There is no likelihood, however, that
this reconstruction will be accomplished
overnight. In my opinion it will be all
OF two years before furniture can re-
gain the position it commanded in 1929.
But it will get there.
Decks have been cleared for action.
Stocks have been reduced to a mini
and promotional campaign in the in
dustrys history is under way; assets
have been liquidated to the fullest ex-
tent and rigid economies have been
put into effect wisely.
Reawakening Of Public.
Now, with o reawakened buying pub
lie, they stand to wipe the red Ink of
ledgers. That this reawakening of buy.
ing interest is real is attested by the
orders being placed daily on the books
OF manufacturers. Retailers attending
pre-market Showings are reporting an
increasing volume of cash sales in
widely scattered metropolitan centers
and the smaller communities. Store
rooms, even the smaller ones, are being
compelled to restock to protect them
selves.
The wheel has started to turn. We
are back on the road to prosperity.

Feminist Adrmpce HaiIed.
 Spaaish Regimes Policies

WASHINGTON, D. C., July IA. American feminis1s are looking to the new Spanish republic for ad- vancement of their cause.
 Many of them feel they have a friend in Don Fernando de los Rios, new minister of justice, who has appointed Victoria Kent, young Spanish woman lawyer, as super visor of prisons.
 Muna Lee, director of activities for the national woman's party, sees in this appointment evidence of what she terms the strong but previously repressed feminist senti- ment which has long existed in Spain.
 The new minister has given us every reason to believe that in his own department he will stand for equality in all human relations, , says Miss Lee. We can expect a very open-minded attitude toward feminism from the new Spanish regime, from what know person. ally of Don Fernando.
 "The feminist movement in Spain has been gathering momentum for a number of years" she says.
 Maria de Maeztu, sister of the former ambassador from Spain to Argentina, made trip thr 0 ugh South America speaking on fem inism before women's groups and universities.
 Carmen de Durgos, another fem mist leader, has long been urging not privilege but equality for wom- en-"
 Club women of America, too have expressed interest in the ap- pointment of the Spanish woman lawyer. A committee from the General Fed CT tion of Womens Clubs has for some time been working on prison reforms.
 The board of directors of the fed eration made an inspection trip of district prisons when they met here recently.

As Bruce turned toward Tony with a look of studied insolence Ann went to the foot of the stairs and called: Pierre, oh, Pierrel Sup per's about ready"
 "Comin'," shouted Pierre, and the next minute he ran joyously into the living room.
 Hello, everybody he called d. "How's the bookkeeping, Pa Bevis9 Every little old balance balancing?"
 Martin, Ann and Old Tony laughed, but Bruce turned away in disgust.
 "All but 39 cents, Pierre" said Martin.
 "Too bad-naughty little 39 cents Pierre returned Then bur- lesquing a man of big business, he addressed Bruce. "Ahem! And what is your opinion of the Wall Street situation today, MT. Carey?'
 Again the three laughed. But Bruce said in a tone of disgust "Aw, cut the comedy, will you? You're not so funny"
 Pierre bowed, burlesquing a court jester, and in the manner of a grandnoquent Shapespearean actor replied T pray thee pardon, thy poor fool. sire, an my antics fail te please, I'll trade cap and bells for an interest table, though methinks to make a money juggler of a mountebank were a sorry jest
 Martin, Ann and Tony laughed again. But Bruce cried angrily For Pete's sake lay off, will you?" Then to Ann, Come on, Ann, why don't we eat?" He seated himself at the table.

see an actor who could compare with you!"
 Pierre laughed boyishly, pleased with the compliment, but remem- bering that Ann knew nothing of the art of acting.
 T have a long way to go before can attempt a part in a real play" he returned seriously. T know I have something. because Father Tony says so, and because mother used to say that some day I would be a real artist-but moth CTS are that way"
 But, Pierre, surely Father Tony knows-he was an actor himself And Father Tony says your moth CT was the most wonderful actress he ever saw"
 Pierre continued: When play ed kiddie parts on the stage, moth CT used to say that the most i'm portant thing is the actors exit. A lot of people hold that an actors entrance is all important, just as some folks are always bragging about their families and all that. But it's the actors exit lines-the way he leaves the stage that estab- fishes the character.
 Take Jesus, for example" he ,.ava,a,,t1v ssIacI1c did not make much of an entrance born in manager, in an old COW shed! But look at His exit. It inn pressed His divine character upon the whole, world for all time and eternity"
 With agonized face uplifted and arms extended as on a cross, Pierre acted the crucifixion, while Ann, under the spell of his acting, un- consciously assumed the attitude of worshiper.
 Then Pierre said: Just before mother died she talked about her exit and made me feel that death was no more than stepping off stage into the wings after playing your bit. And she said that when she had made her exit she would be standing in the wings. That's why I've got to go to school and make myself the kind of actor my mother wants me to. That's why can't give up my school money to Bruce or to anyone else-not ii I knew it would bring me millions You understand, don't you Amp
 Ann impulsively moved closer to him and, putting her hands on his shoulders, said: q do understand Pierre, dearl Of course you must be true to yourself, my Pierre. NC matter what Bruce or my father says you must not think of letting Bruce have penny of your schoo money for his gold mining scheme You won't vii lyou dear? It would be wicked
 Neither Pierre nor Ann noticed that Bruce was standing in tht doorway to his room watching them and listening to her words. l copyright, 1880, by D. Appleton
