How Business Grows

Uncle Sans mail carriers may not
believe it, but the fact Is that the
practice of sending Christmas cards
Is comparatively a modern one.
Each yuletide, millions of these
greetings are popped into the mail to
tell friends and relatives that, at
Christine If at no other during the
year, thoughts of them fill our hearts
with pleasure.
The first Christmas card is generally
attributed to Sir Henry Cole, an Eng
liShman and is said to have been de-
signed by John c. Horsley, an artist
and member of the Royal Academy
in 1916. Within the last year, how
ever, another card has come to light
which dates back to 1929. 1t evidently
was produced in America but the SEN
timent inscribed on it is in the Ger
man language and says: Accept this
little leaflet as a symbol of respect
and cordially; many happy returns
of the day which now SO gladdens
you; may every hour be filled with
whatever delights your heart and may
satisfaction and comfort always shine
out of your countenance."
The expression is hardly in line with
the modern trend but 1t has merits
which some Of It's followers do not
attain with respect TO grace and dig
nifty Of expression.
In 1874 man named Louis Prang
produced the first Christmas card for
sale. Since that time the custom has
taken hold SO generally that the pro-
duction Of these missives has become
a rather important industry.

Deep in Thought.

Betty Garfield gave me an in
curing glance, for which I was
deeply grateful; it was the first
time she had looked in my dircc-
ton. Then she turned and the door
of Thatcher Colts office closed be-
hind her. The Commissioner was
talking into the inter-office tele-
phone.
"Have Inspector Ruggles come
in"
While he was waiting, Thatcher
Colt, reread the note that Betty
Garfield had brought him. His
sombre brown eyes were exceed
ingly thoughtful, as if he were
turning in his mind some indeter-
inmate project. When Ruggles
entered the Commissioner gave him
crisp orders: ,
"Send a detective over to the
office of Doctor Humphrey Mas
kell at 1856 Washington Square,
North. Find out what he knows
about the disappearance of girl
who worked in his office. Her
name was Geraldine Foster"
"Okay," replied Ruggles heavily.
He turned and strobe toward the
door when the Commissioner un.
expectedly barked at him:

The Moral of the Declining

The continuing decline of sterling
provides the American people with a
clear warning of what lies ahead of
a nation which heedlessly piles tax
upon tax. The political advantages
OF this policy may seem to justify it
Tor time, but the day of national
humiliation cannot be postponed in
definitely. Taxes in Britain have alb
sorbed large part of the British
reserve Of capital and have severely
handicapped British industry. The
English people have been eating their
savings and the fact is reflected in
the decline Of their money in the
terms Of sounder currencies.
The British made the runous mis-
take OF bleeding white their going
industries and their solvent indivi-

That the money SO acquired could be
used to better advantage If redis-
tributed to those in moribund indus

A BAD CASE OF DUPLICITY

This is just terrible. What is the

Shortly afterWard the poor girl
went back to the shop, and by and by
she had what her doctor good ma
turedly termed a nervous breakdown
How kind most good doctors are
about that! 1t is such satisfactory
alibi and so effectively disposes of
the curiosity of make believe friends

wasn't SO kind. But never mind. It
didn't fool anybody, for the CORE
spondent remarks that she has not
had any change of life. If she takes
my advice shell never have any such
thing. I don't mean that I am such
a wonderful doctor or health expert
but just that there is no sub thing
in other words that explanation for
any i'll health or what have you is
pure hokum.
Now comes the dreadful confession
Some one came along at this june
ture and told the poor girl cigarettes
would quiet her nerves." SO she
commenced smoking surreptitiously
and now she is an abject slave to the

MIR. JOHN is OUT
New York, Dec. 1.-They say that
when the circus wagons move across
the land in the spring, the pictures
que personality of Mister john will
be missing from "the greatest show
on EARTH
They say that the familiar high
and shiny hat; the inevitable black
cigar; the direct voice, trained to
achieve depths by years of announc-
ing; the boots, the long coat, the
alert, shifting eyes-all will be gone
from the sidelines, that tented
isthmus which connects the big tops
and performers entrance way.
You may have heard, or read, that
John Ringing, last of the five Ring
ling brothers, who made circus his
tory, has turned active control of
the biggest show over to one Sam
Gumpertz, one of the kings Of the
outdoor show world. Mister John"
it is said, is prepared to sit back and
play the role of master mind'-or
something like that. Around the
Broadway tent show folk you'll hear
tales of family squabble involving
the two widows of dead Ringlings;
Robert, sole male survivor, and Mis-
ter John; you'll hear of Mister
Johns ill health; you'll hear that the
greatest show fortune ever piled UP
some 100000, 000-has shrunk in these
depression times: that M lister
Johns" two privately owned railroads
in the southwest have not done SO
we'll and that vast investment in
Sarasota, Fla. has felt the alum Of
shrinking values.

GUMPERTZ is IN
But you'll have to 60 to Coney
Island to meet the new active boss
of the biggest show There you'll
find Sam Gumpertz busily engaged
in the affairs of the Coney Board of
Trade. The great and particular
Gumpertz hobby and yen is Coney.
He worries about its building pro-
gram and its civic advancement: its
side shows and its play-life. Although
his name has become no such house
hold word as Barnum or Ringing,
still he has been one of the most
powerful off-stage figures in the out
door show game.
Coney is his pet because Coney
played a great part in his youthful
struggle. The biggest Show is, of
course, his main interest. Gumpertz
