NEW YORK, March 7.--One result
of the recent renewal of activity in Wall

BUSINESS MOVING
IN FASTER STRIDE
Retail Trade Shows Evidence
of Picking Up Throughout
United States.
By J. c. RoYLE.

The whistle calculated to keep the
business courage up is growing boldsr
The knocking of financial knees to-
gether, which has sounded ike chorus
of castanets throughout the land, has
silenced, for the very good reason that
knees cannot knock together if the
owner is rapidly putting one foot in
front of the other in business progress
Fear has been the main thing which
has retarded business recovery. Fear
was overcome to no small degree when
Congress adjourned. Its passage was
indicated even before that time by the
activity in the stock market. Whether
the movement be up or down, there is
usually small fear of general conditions
indicated in active stock trading.

 bewhiskered. barberless, shave less pill smackers Is the leading travelling pro club in the country. The Davids are usually greeted by capacity crowds wherever they ap- pear and indications are that the largest crowd of the season will be in attendance.
 Eating meat, fish, fowl or lard, or cutting their whiskers is against their religious belief. but playing baseball is their speciality. Their opponents will be an 'all-star ag- of players from the City League, including Bobby Tucker. Vic Radzevich, Michigan, Eddie Lyons, Larry Mullens. Lodge and others. The game Is scheduled to start at o'clock sharp. Bill Stanton and Leno Costaldo will handle the officiating duties.
 This club has shattered many at- tendance records in various towns and cities, their most notable crowds being at Shibe park in Philly last season where they at- tracted 1868 while their best New York mark was 10,529. Their popularity is as great in major league towns as in the small towns.
