"A DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

ERED j. RINGEL, a German who
Il lives in New York as CORE
spondent for certain Berlin news
papers, decided recently that Euro
peans never had been given really
good understanding of America.
First he decided to write a book
about America to set things right.
Then he figured the job was too
much for him, so he called in some
two-score American writer's and had
them dotthe job for him; and the
result is America as Americans
See It," edited by Mr.. Ringel, pub
lished by Harcourt, Bruce & Co.
at $3.75 and offered by the Literary
Guild as its June selection.
It's a book that can't be summed
up in a paragraph very well. Parts
Of it are very good, indeed; other
parts are utterly useless.
If its aim was to give foreigners
a clear, comprehensive view of
American life, it seems to me that
it has failed, for any European sit
ting down to read it would arise
more confused than ever.
But then, maybe it is impossible
for any one to look at the whole
American panorama without getting
confused.
Among the best chapters in the
book, it seems to me, are those by
r. L. Duffus on the great open
spaces; by Elmer Davis on the
American at leisure; by John Tunis
on American sports; by r. E. Sher-
wood on Hollywood; by Stuart
Chase on economics, and by Silas
Bent on advertising.
Those that seem to me to fall fiat
include articles by Graham Nc
Nance on radio, by John Held Jr.
on college life and by an anony-
nous contributor on underworld
gangs.
You'll find enough good stuff in
the book to make it worth your
while, and there are a hundred or
more illustrations that help.
But heaven pity the European
who reads it all and then thinks
he understands America.

Time for me to be getting back,
to-" he agreed.
They walked down the street a
block together. Cherry thanked
him for the luncheon and said good
by. She was smiling as she boarded
the street car.
It was wrong about Max Pear

wants to be friendly and helpful.
Oh, it's going to be wonderful to
have car to drive againl"
True to prediction, Pinky was
feeling neglected when Cherry ar
rived home. He came running to-

Cherry was silent for a minute.
Then she said, He told me some
thing else today. Max thinks you
can write. I mean short stories-or
a novel, maybe"
Did Max say that?"
Cherry nodded eagerly. %I've been
thinking about it all afternoon and
I'm going to help by having every
thing out of the way so you can get
to work as soon as dinner is finished.
I won't let any one interrupt. You
can begin tonight"
Phillips protested with a groan.

tie lungs would allow.
Cherry picked him up, filed a
saucer with milk and watched the
kittens clumsy efforts to drink the
milk and at the same time wade
in 1t.
She told Dan that evening about
lunching with Pearson and about
his offer to loan her the roadster

The other seemed satisfied and returned the
salute with equal dignity. Then he attempted
to convey to the ape-man that he and his
party were about to ride of across the plain,
inviting him to accompany them. Rather
curious to see more of these little people, Tar

they set out, however, the Ant Men dispersed

They're darned obliging. That's

She told him she could not. She
had left the apartment in hurry
and there were a dozen things 70

the kitten.
Poor little Pinky," she exclaimed.
He'll be starved. Oh, I'll have to

1T was the middle Of the next

ing over the cookbook when there
was a knock at the door. She arose
and opened 1t.
"Oh--=ood morning." Cherry said

Its bad business to be sick and
alone in city," Mrs. Moreau said,
shaking her head. well, must be

Bad business indeedl After she
was alone again Cherry got out her
purse and examined its contents
There was $275 inside.
On impulse she hurriedly changed
TO street clothes. Pinky, the kitten
was doing on the window seat as
Cherry softly closed the door be-
hind her and went down the stairs
She boarded a downtown car and
rode to Twelfth street. Lawrence's
flower shop in the corner of the
Wellington hotel was where Cherry
had always bought flowers. She
reached the shop and paused be-
fore the window display.
Tall, long roses and ex-
otto lilies filled three huge vases
That stood on black velvet. They
were beautiful roses. They must
cost great deal
Turning, the girl walked down the
street. There were other florist
lNhops. She would find one less ex-
pensive than Lawrences. Cherry
tramped for half an hour and finally
was satisfied.
She came to small shop f1aunt-
ing price-marks al lover its windows
Roses rs cents" "Lilacs so cents 9

Cherry entered and paid so cents
for a large bunch of lilacs.

clerk told her. That's extra. It'll

Cherry paid the extra quarter
She wrote Miss Jamieson's name or

There was less than 81 in hel

when she left the shop.
That means we'll have eggs again

Dan won't mind when he knows
why it happened. Wonder whether
he'd like 'em fried or in an omlet?'

and had almost decided to under.

 He told his listeners to think of all the other republicans who are doing the goose step for Roraback. He pointed to Senator Hiram Bing- ham and his recent assinine out burst against the civil service" And he said, he wonders how Postmas- ter A. N. Colgrove feels about Bing- hams latest uncalled for slam at the civil service and how the nu- merous efficient postal clerks and letter carriers feel about it. He stated that Bingham Is certainly no champion of this group of men and women. "In my opinion Bingham is the one and only original poli- tical faux pas," he said.
 He contrasted the health condi- tion of the democratic party with the poor condition of the republi- can party. He told how the re- publican candidates were chosen at New Haven according to the dic- tates of J. Henry Roraback. "The chosen necks John Henry touched with his sword and said, I dub thee candidate'. And the other poor dubs kept their necks bent lest John Henry give them a lick with the flat of his rule," he said.
 Atortney Racket reiterated his stand on the old age question and insurance and called for unified support. of the local, state and national candidates of the democratic party.

New York, Oct 22-UP)- Stocks present firm front in to- days short session. Dealings con- tinued almost wholly professional with volume around the lightest levels of the year.
 A small amount of short cover- ing was touched off in the rail- road shares soon after the weekly car loadings report was issued. That report showed loadings up nearly 25,000 cars over the pre- ceding week and at a new high for the year of 650,57S cars. It made the best. showing as compared with the two preceding years of any week in 1892.
 Railroad issues were sold heavily yesterday. They were steady in the early trading and easily moved up when the loadings report was is- sued. Atchison jumped from 40 # to 42h up 1% points and held most of the gain. Union Pacific rose more than 2 points, and gains of more than a point were made by Lackawanna, New York Gen. tral and Southern Pacific, most of the advances were retained.

 Good news was plentiful, how ever, but in Wall Street gloom It was not of sufficient caliber to turn the trend. The car loadings report for the week ended Octo- Der IS. That showed an increase of nearly 25,000 cars over the previous week and brought the loading total to 850,57S cars, a new high for the year and the best showing against 1880 and 1881 so far this year.
 Other favorable items included steadiness in electricity output, a small advance in steel production, a sharp rise in bank clearings, drop of $30,0O0,000 in money in circu- lation, rise in Federal Reserve Bank reserves and rise of $19,- 100000 in monetary gold stock.

Harry Stuhlman, 54. of IS Shelter street was fined $100 and costs by Judge T. V. Meyer. Fifty dollars of the fine was ordered remitted, the court taking into consideration and remarking upon the previous rec ord of the accused.
 Stuhlman, an employe of local factory for 30 years, stopped at a friends home last Saturday and had three glasses of cider. His car collided with a passing truck and attracted the attention of Pa trolman John Moore who ques- toned Stuhlman and found him under the influence of liquor.

FIRE DEPARTMENT BACKS PENSION PLAN
MORE THAN ONE
 PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
House to House Canvass Sometimes More Effec-

MANY ACTIVE WORKERS

The house to house canvass for votes was always considered an effective plan of campaigning, and 1t Is no mistake to say that 1t is being carried on this year. A rather strange thing about the business is that some of the active workers have had no steady employment for the past three years. Whether they prefer to have things remain in that state or because they have been convinced that better times are more likely to come with Hoover still at the helm than they can ex- pect from Roosevelt is something not generally known, but one might not be far from the facts if he should conclude that the job furnishes them a profitable occu- patton for the time being and they are at 1t as 8 matter of necessity.
 Many feel that they owe it to themselves to take up what they can get and trust to luck for better things in the future. The average man is puzzled to know which of the spellbinders to believe. Some claim that the president has noth- ing to do about bringing about good or bad times and others are pro- claiming that if Hoover is not reelected things will be worse, and there you are. In 0 country like the United States, where every elector has ample opportunity to familiar ize himself with the facts. 1t does seem that nobody would find it necessary to seek counsel as to his duty to himself and his country when he goes to the polls on cleo ton day. But that is not so. A very large number of voters have no minds of their own and trust to others for guidance.
