REVIEWS EXTOL
SHOCK-PROOF
BUSINESS

Declaring that business was de-
veloping a shockproof character
despite the banking difficulties
of the last two weeks, repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment by
Congress is hailed by Bradsreet's
as constructive step, the cur.
rent review saying:
"WhiIe business will not
benefit Immediately, the con-
structive significance of this
event cannot be OvereStimated.
Though State action must re-
quire many months, men and
money will eventually be put
to work."
Other Helpful Factors
Further helpful developments
were listed by Bradstreet's as the
rise in bank clearings last week
above a year ago, the decline in
business failures and the stabil
ity of the wholesale food index
UnfavorabIe factors were the
freezing of funds due to the
Michigan bank restrictions, the
drop in retail trade and the
warmer weather which hindered
cleanup of winter goods.
The banking difficulties have
had repercussions in many chan
nels of trade, it was stated,
Strength Inherent, Says Dun's
Dun's declares that business
progress this week was inter
rupted but slightly by "disquier
ing events which in less calloused
times might have been fraught
with overwhelming retardative in

"The current situation pro-
videS additional proof of the
inherent strength of the eco
nOmic structure whic h con-
tinues to function efficiently
notwithstanding the handicap
of dilated maladjuStments in

TRACTOR GIVING
WAY To HORSE

The depression has brought the
horse back into its own.
Most harness manufacturers
are busy, Dun's Review declares,
and the present outlook for a
comeback in that industry is the
brightest in many years, due to
the increased use of horses on
farms.
These findings confir the
trend away from the tractor to
old Dobbin in the last year due
to the drasic decline in farm
prices. Horses have recently sold
at the highest prices in nearly 20
wears.

Speaking of Sports
BY WALLACE CARROLL

United Press Staff Correspondent
CANNES, France, Feb. 10
(UPD-A new threat to the ten
mis- supremacy Of Mrs. Helen
Wills-Moody is coming into view
on the sun-baked courts along
the French Riviera.
Fraulein "Cillie" AuSsem of
Germany. who won every major
tennis championship in Europe
two years ago, has opened her
quest for world supremacy in
1888.
Every day in the week, the
fleet-footed Fraulein can be seen
on the Riviera courts, training
for the spring and summer tour
naments in which she hopes to
meet the perennial champion
from California.
Experts, who have been watch
ing her. say that she is in be-
ter form than two years ago
when she blasted all opposition
off European courts. That year,
however, Helen stayed in Amer
lea and a meeting between the
two stars frustrated.
Last year, when the American
renewed her European invasion,
the little German girl was kept
out of the game by ill-health.
She forfeited her French title
and the Wimbledon champion
shpi, both Of which were cap
tured BY Mrs. Moody.
The German girl has just the
game to upset the Californian.
thefe is every bit as steady as
ellen and 'her foot-work is i'm
.-ieasurably superior. Because
of her remarkable speed and
agility. only the cleanest sort of
placements can score against her,
and the long drives with which
Mrs. Moody usually wears down
her opponents probably would be
returned Just as impertuarbly as
they were delivered.
Steady training against men
players has given the Fraulein
the variety which her game
formerly lacked. Riviera experts
experts say that she should be
able to take at least a set from
Helen-something which has not
been done since 1926.
