GROWTH IN RETAIL
BUSINESS IS NOTED
Weekly Reviews Report Sea.
sonal Pickup in Some
Lines.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. June 4.-There have
been no developments in trade and in
duStry to stimulate enthusiasm during
the past week, but in few special
lines of retail activity business has been
on more active plane by reason of
seasonal demand. according to the
weekly mercantile reviews.
Dun's review looks at the situation
with some degree of optimism. declaring
that wholesale and retail distributive
totals made the best showing in volume
OF any month this year. with tonnage
handled and unit sales increasing
moderately
AS result of this better trend"
says Dun's, there has been developed
a feeling of encouragement that is far
more pronounced than could be dis
cerned year ago. The warmer weather
has stimulated interest in all light
weight wearing apparel, and sales of
beach clothes, sporting goods and Sum-
mer needs in general were given such
an impetus by the Memorial day holiday
that much Of the momentum was re-
fected in the enlarged movement OF
such items during the current week"
To Bradstreet's the general business
and industrial outlook appears less ia
vorable. 1t states that although the
weather during the past week has been
ideal for seasonal growth of business
activity whatever there has been of an
uplift has been so slight as to be of but
little benefit.
This review comments that indecision
and delay on the part of Congress and
restriction of credit by banks are be-
lieved largely responsible for the present
dormant state of business Because Of
new activities in automobile manufac-
turing business has improved in the
centers Of that industry, the review
states.

Poison Hemlock

The hemlock, favorite source Of
poison used as means of execution
of criminals in the days Of the ancient
Greeks, is common all over Europe
and Asia, being found along roadsides
and rubbish heaps. The plant has a
small white flower and fiattened oval
shaped fruit.
One type, known as the spotted hem
lock, has been introduced into this coun-
try. 1t has a parsnip-like root and
bright green hollow stem, which rises
from two to five feet. It has a use in
medicine, but its principal fame lies
in its use in ancient days. The symp-
toms of the poisoning came on slowly
with weakness, staggering paralysis
and then death. 1t was of this poi
son cup that Socrates died.

Polite Term for "Kicker"

"He is recalcitrant" we say about
a man who refuses to fall in with our
plans or a child who will not obey.
We want to say that they are disagree
able, contrary, contentious. And usu-
ally neither the man nor the child
mind very much being called ire
calcitrant." And that, we believe, is
because they have not looked into
the origin or significance of the term.
For the word comes from the "recal-
citrare," to kick back. 1t is perhaps
painting the lily to point out that
"calcitrare"-to kicks from "calx,"
meaning "heel." Hence, though it is
not good language or form to call a
man a Kicker" you can got around
1t with "recalcitrant. kansas City

American Hotels First
IN IJsA RiIIs of Fare

No bill of fare was necessary when
Jacob made the mess Of pottage for
Esau-it was a one-course meal lack.
ing even the simplest refnements.
Neither did the early Romans follow
menu card in their choice Of food,
although the word "menu" itself is
derived from the Latin "minutus,"
meaning minute detail.' (From this
the deduction follows that menu" is
used to denote the particulars Of the
different courses of a meal.)
Indeed the term was used among
the Romans, but the practice of en-
tertaining both guest and traveller in
the 'domus" precluded the need for
a written card.
Even the prevalence of inns and
taverns in Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth century England and the
American taverns Of the Eighteenth
and early Nineteenth centuries failed
to produce the menu card. For still
there was little need for it with all
the travellers seated at one great table
and the innkeepers' wife serving "vict-
uals" of her own choice.
The frivolous elegant styles Of the
second empire in France and the open
ing of the first American hotels about
the middle of the Nineteenth century
brought the bill Of fare. The United
States hotel Of Philadelphia, FOley's
National hotel Of Norfolk, Va, and
the New York hotel Of New York were
the last word in fashion about 1850
with menus of long, narrow slips of
poor paper, never cardboard, and the
names of the dishes written in under
printed headings.

Little, Mention of the
Dog in Jewish History

Although game was plentiful and the
Jews of Biblical times were skillful
hunters, they do not appear to have
used dogs in the chase at all. Esau,
Ishmael and David we might have
thought would have trained dogs to
hunt the deer or fiercer animals, but
apparently did not. This is strange
considering that both the Egyptian
and Assyrian monuments depict the
use of hunting dogs, of the hound,
greyhound and mastiff type.
Perhaps the appearance Of dogs in
heather mythology and sculpture, and
also in ancient heather literature Gas
readers Of Homer, perhaps written
about the time of Abraham, will re-
calD may help to account for the I'M
popularity of dogs among Gods peo-
pie of Israel. Some such reason would
almost seem to be necessary to ex-
plain references In the Bible to the
faithful companionship which from
very early ages has existed between
men and dogs.

The mystery or the big stone dough-
nuts has been solved by Smithsonian
Institution Investigators, it was an
nounced today.
DR.. Truman Nicholson. Smithsonian
ethnologist, was engaged this summer
in Indian studies near Geary, Okla,
when his attention was called to C
spot known locally as THE Chimneys," 3"
Here were scattered scores of curiouc
objects-circles of red sandstone abou.
the size of small wheels-nore thar
nine inches in diameter-with holes il
the centers. The sides were nic1L
beveled They looked like monste-
doughnuts turned to stone.
The stones were shaped so nicely
they seemed almost certainly to BE-
human artifacts, but they were en-
tirely unknown to American ethnolo-
gists. Dr. Nicholson brought some
specimens back to Washington. where
they were studied by DR.. w. F. Foshag,
Smithsonian mineralogiSt. Careful eX-
animation revealed that they were no
the product of human hands at all, but
entirely natural formations, specimens

never in such abundance.
The wind, DR.. Fochag explained,
tends to deposit sand in circles. On
successive days. under proper condi-
tions, such sand circles may be laid
down on top CT one another. In the
course of time the sand grains are &C.
mented together with carbonated Line
contained in solution in ground waters,
and are compressed in sandstone
masses But the circles successfully
laid down tend to continue as strata.
Then comes the weathering-the
tearing down process The sandstone
masses are broken down, tending to
fall apart as circular disks. Wind
blown sand, operating over the course
of centuries, does the rest. 1t may cut
holes through the centers. 1t may
round the edges of the "doughnuts" as
nicely as the job could be done by
human hands. 1t is likely to produce
almost any sort Of sculptural curiosity.
The abundance Of such stones in any
one place, however, may have occa-
stoned superstitious reverence among
