AS a member of the New York Stock
Exchange, Mr.. Hibbs keeps in constant
touch with financial matters. Yet he is
very guarded in making predictions. In
his opinion there are too many different
factors pulling in different directions.
Yet he is highly optimistic on the long
term outlook and is as sure as any one
can be that good times will follow the
world depression.
He is particularly cheerful on the
outlook for Washington, believing
nothing can stop the business growth
and expansion Of the Nations Capital.
He sees better and bigger business for
local merchants and more employment
for citizens as the years pass.

CHRISTMAS BUYING

Wholesale and Retail Lines
Feel Effects of Seasonal
Purchases.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Christmas
buying and lower temperatures are hav-
ing a bracing effect on retail and
wholesale trade throughout this country
and Cana5a, according to reports reach
ing here from 81 centers in the two
nations today.
The usual holiday goods, such as
Christmas trees, holly and various
greens, along with a bounteous supply
If seasonal foods, such as eels and other
dainties demanded by this city's for
eign populace, have begun to arrive here
in increasing quantities.
Locally wholesale handlers OF mems
wear report greater activity, which they
say is directly traceable to the weather
and Yuletide purchases. Out-of-town
furniture buyers are here picking up a
wide assortment of novelty furniture in
the cheaper price ranks. Pewter sales
are said to be brisk with the emphasis
on better grade wares.
Better Canadian Trade.
From Canada comes advices Of better
retail buying not only in necessities, buF
in such semi i-luXuries as sweets, radios
and the like, a movement aided by the
flow Of grain there and the ability to
continue out-of-doO work because Of
the open weather until the last few
days.
Although the financial district re-
mains depressed, partly as a result of
continuous flow of unfayorable foreign
news, word from corporations in that
district, as well as elsewhere here, has
gone out to various parts of the country
to the effect that factories and shops
should be operated as much as possible
before Christmas and the workers
should receive pay for such employ
ment before the big holiday.
This movement is being aided by
either sustained buying or renewed
SpurtS in some non-SeaSonal lines.
| Thus, shoe recorders are helping TO
keep the footwear factories busy. In
the hosiery trade the strong demand
for anklets has caused some speeding
up of mill production, but the trade is
not so sure that this buying will be
sustained
Settlement Of the wooden strike in
New England has brought about re-
sumption of employment and with it
demand for woods at slightly higher
levels. While the Southern cotton mills
continue to work nights to fill rush Or
ders, and incidentally to keep down ex-
penses by the maintenance of volume
output, the stocks of cloth have begun
to accumulate in the last few weeks,
with the result that many mills will
slacken their speed within the next
month.
Heavier Trades Slow.
Some of the heavier trades, such as
steel and iron, automotive and build
ing construction and their allied lines,
| continue slow. That some recovery in
! such industries is imminent, however,
can be easily seem from the way ma
| tarjal has been worn out and not re-
placed. Thus, truck manufacturers
here today were of the opinion that no
matter what general business did In
J 1882, their own production would be
! better than in 1881, for the reason that
many trucks have been patched and
| repaired until they can withstand no
! further renovations and will have to be
| junked This means the purchase of
| truck requirements.

 Porch an Illuminated house number. Vestibule--a low chair on which guest may sit when re- moving and putting on galoshes.
 Living room--a nest of low ta- bies. DlnnIng room a mirror plateau for center of table. Break fast room--a jolly marmalade jar. Kitchen--can opener that is fast ened to wall and really works.

YOUR CHILDREN
MNMpKober.sRaldz
 0i95l BY NtA SERVICE. INC |

We are careful to give the baby hls sun bath even in winter Of courge If you can find any sun these rather dreary December days you live in happier climate than I do If sunlight sold for a dollar n ton there hasn't been a plugged nickeIs worth around my home for c week.
 So we talk sun and make plans for tomorrow's sun and get out the cod-liver oil as q substitute and let 1t go at that. But the baby does get sun, sometimes. The window is opened from the top. the room is very warm, he Is stripped and allowed to lie upside down, sideway and on his back until good old Sol has licked him all over.
 Ten minutes!
 But the other children no one bothers about. Oh. they get out and exercise. and play and get fresh air and anyway they are not babies. Besides when the sun Is out. they're in 1t, aren't they?
 Yes, they are in 1t, that is, their eyes and noses, cheeks and chins, but even their hands are covered with gloves. And sun does not get through clothes! also 1t does not get through window-glass un- less 1t is quartz glass.
 The real truth of the matter Is that we take care of the babies much better than we do their older sisters and brothers. Of course this is natural. Little Tommy must get his start and he needs all the starting we can lay our hands on usually.
 But we should bear in mind this thing about sunlight. It costs nothing and like fresh air is the best medicine on earth. It con- tains q vitamin that means what it says-"ilfe."
 Suniight--Elcalth.
 A great deal of malnutrition Is caused by lack of sunlight. know a doctor who uses a special lamp on the children brought to him in rundown condition. with out capacities; pale anaemic little people who are starved for sun. He does help them, but he confid- ed to me, that good dose of real sun once a day, if procurabie. was an excellent thing. "or." said he, If they were even made to run outdoors, or indoors with the win dows up---exercising of course--so that the sun could get at part of their bodies, it should be q help"
 And SO l should treasure the winter sun as would treasure real money. for that's what 1t is. That and fresh air. When children come home from school on a sunny afternoon, they shouldn't He down in c stuffy room and read book. They should go out and run in what is left of the sun. Noon sun IA best. A few minutes of that is worth more than q longer period of late afternoon sun.
 q is hard to adjust dressing Co sun baths but l should certainly ask your doctor about it. He may tell you what my friend said, that n few minutes without too many clothes won't hurt. If they are ex- arclsing. 0r suggest that you adopt the 'baby" methOd--having them lie or cit In m warm room without any clothes nt nll, out of a dfaught, hut in q bright pool of sunlight. I3ltter days may bn skipped, he will also say, very likely.

If you are in a saving mood, one thing you can do to be beautiful and yet thirty b to give yourself raanicures.
 You probably have manicure set. If you haven't, you can get your equipment for little money. There are some scientifically as- eembled sets that give you the ele- nentary implements for little cost
 Just In case you haven't ever given 1t much thought as to what should constitute a manicuring equipment, here is list of neces- sities: Orange wood sticks, cotton, nail bleach, cuticle saive or just plain olive oil, cuticle remover, cuticIe sissors, energy boards, whitener for under the nails, enamel or polish, and a real good
 If you decide to do your own nails, you will find 1t helpful to give them e thought every night. wash them carefully, dry equally carefully, then apply olive oil or cuticie salve to each finger. In turn, pushing gack the cuticle carefully. One of the best cuticle helps Is rose salve, because It is fragrant and pleasanter to use than olive oil.
 Should anyone consider making you a present of a inanicuring set, you might suggest one of the new travel ones that comes in a pleas- ing case, each article packed n scientifically, with no useless gad-. gets but real appreciation of what is neded.
 When you begin home-manicur- ing, set the days you intend doing them and then keep the appoint men with yourself. Often If you use a buffer and a bit of polish on top of your liquid enamel, 1t keeps them beautiful longer. This kind of thing you learn through experi- rnentation, however.
