N IEW YORK.-Editors Of trade

VI United States, SpOkeSmen for
L Y the businesses and industries
their journals represent, enthu-
siastically report substantial gains dur
ing the year now ending, and are
strongly optimistic regarding the pros
poets for 1884.
Their opinions, expressed at the re-
quest of the the North American News
paper Alliance, are presented in this
dispatch.
From automobiles to packing and tex
tiles, the base for increased output and
distribution is seen in steady climb
of business since the banking holidays
last March. Many industries have
marked gains over the third and fourth
quarters of 1882.
Automotive Industry
Hopes for Good Year.
The various N. r. A. codes have done
their share in Frightening business
prospects through increased employ
ment and halting OF cut-throat COM
petitive methods, numerous trade edi-
tors believe. Their statements follow:
Julian Chase. directing editor, Chiffon
Co, Philadelphia: 'Everlastingly young
and inherently optimistic. the automo-
tive industry hopes with considerable
confidence for a relatively good year
in 1884.
while predictions as to output are
guarded and qualified by a liberal
sprinkling of ifs and butts. it seems to
be believed rather generally by those
who do the figuring and the guessing
that production of 100000 cars and
trucks is not an unreasonable expec-
tation
IF it is realized it will register a
gain of so per cent over the industrys
accomplishment in l933."
Sharp Recovery in
Paint Industry Continues.
George H. Priest, jr.. vice president,
American Paint Journal Co., st. Louis
THE sharp recovery experienced in
early Spring and holding up well
through the Summer and into the Fall
has resulted in a sales volume for the
year we'll ahead of 1882, an improve
ment which is strongly reflected in the
statements of earnings Of leading
manufacturers
THE industry is normally dependent
upon new building and industrial con-
sumers-the railroads, automobile and
furniture manufacturers, etc.-for q
very substantial part of its volume, and
the prospects for increased activity and
purchasing il these fields during the
coming year appear to be very good.
There have been two general price
advances in the past six months and
further increases appear inevitable
because of higher wages and the
rapidly rising cost of essential raw ma
terials."

Public Works Program
To Help Foundry Business.
Dan M. Alvey, editor, the Foundry,
January will see the entire
foundry industry organized under four
basic codes applying to the manufacture
and sale of castings in the steel, mall
leable, gray iron and non-ferrous divis-
ions. The first of these codes (steel
casting), went in operation November
l3 and the industry expects an imme-
diate correction of unsatisfactory COM
petitive conditions. Wages in all grades
from common labor through to the most
skilled mechanics have been raised in
this branch of the foundry industry by
from 10 to 80 per cent.
THE demand for castings of all
classes is expected to be much more
active during 1884. Large users such
as the automotive industry have sus-
tanned a volume of business which has
increased slightly from July through
November.

with the attendant demand for a wide
range of cast products, including pres

and other sundries, will have an in

However, one factor not yet stimu-
lated is the market for castings, which
underlies all production of capital or
durable goods, including heavy machin-
cry, factory equipment, railway and
public service power and operating units
and the great bulk of manufacturing
and transportation facilities. If and
when the demand for durable goods is
stimulated, the foundry industry as a
whole will be thoroughly reconstructed,
we'll organized for advancement and
better equipped than at any time in the
past to supply improved products
through development in technical and
metallurgical lines"

The Shower
p. MRS REECKMAN.

DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
My sister married quietly and
I have been wondering if it
would be the proper thing for
me to give a shower for her?
I am married and not living
at her home.
Some say it is not the right
thing to do when it is for my
own sister. THANK YOU
What you say that "some
say is what most people judge
about the giving of showers. ..
that it is inappropriate for a
close relative of the bride-to-be,
and certainly of the bride, to
give such a party. When the
mother or sister of the bride
to-be gives a shower for her, it
does give quite a distinct i'm
preston Of being a begging
party" and when such a
party is given for a bride, I
think that it gives even more
this impression. Don't you?
However, Of course there isn't
any definite rule about this,
and so each one must make for
herself the Judgment of it's
appropriateness.

agree with you that it would be
hospitable to invite another

Marjorie's bedroom was or
chid-pink. The furniture was
that color and so were the
taffeta silk draperies. On the
floor were two huge white bear
skin rugs, and there was a lace
spread on the bed.
But the woodwork was plain
yellow hard wood and so was
the floor, The bathtub in
the tiny bathroom had been
painted blue-green and so had

the bathroom looked cheap
nevertheless.

Sharlie asked herself, washing
her hands in the bowl with a
cake of real CASTLE soap and
drying them on a linen towel
that was edged with filet lace
Surely Marjorie could afford
to live in a better neighborhood
than this one that was too near
downtown to be fashionable or
even quiet.

smiling way and the four of
them went out into the kitchen.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Everything ran smoothly when
we went together, and I knew

About a month ago he sud-
denly stopped coming. Friends
told me that his sisters didn't
care for me, and that they
told him tales about me which
were absolutely false. Appar-
emily they got him another
girl, a friend of theirs. Did
you think it was fair for him
to listen to lies about me?
And shall I forget him? That
will be hard. because, in spite
of everything, I love him
great deal. SALLY.

be, my dear Sally, to be mar

mated by petticoat government.
If you wanted your way about
anything, he'd feel obliged,
most probably, to consult his
sisters about it. I think you
will be happier if you can
make up your mind to forget

CHAPTER XXI

SAAGAA \ DAe nm
Two flights of stairs led to
Marjorie's flat on the third
floor of the building. Both
flights were in darkness but
q tiny blue electric light
burned on each landing. The
air was warm and it smelled
like the air in a cellar.
The whole adventure struck
Sharlie suddenly as being ex-
tremely cheap. She remem-
bered something that Edna had
said to her once during the
Eddie affair: 1t never pays
to have anything to do with
cheap people, Sharlie. It's bet
ter to have no friends at ALL
And these people certainly
were what Edna would call
cheap people," beyond any
doubt
But maybe I'm cheap, too,"
thought Sharlie, because I
like them" She still felt
dreamy and dizzy and con-
fused, and when Marjorie's
voice came to her from the
darkness above it sounded
eerie and far away.
"Spooky on these stairs, isn't
it?" she called. Every time
I come up here alone I expect
to be murdered"
Then there came the click of
a key turning in a lock and
Marjorie pushed open the door
Of her flat. All the spooki-
ness" vanished in the stream
Of light that flashed across the
landing.
Within. the flat was like a
little forest of floor lamps.
There were two orange-colored
ones on either side of the door.
There were two pale green
ones at either end of the wide
sofa, and there was another
green one beside the tiny baby
grand piano. A lemon-yellow
one stood behind a yellow vel
vet arm chair between the
windows.
Sharlie did not know whether
she liked the room or not. It
struck her that there we're too
many velvet floor cushions on
the hearth rug and in the
corners, just as there were
too many lamps.
But it was a comfortable
room. The sofa was wide and
soft as a great bed of pale
green moss. A coffee table
stood in front of it. But in
stead of a silver or brass coffee
service it held a tray filled
with little bright colored
glasses and a tall pink glass
decanter.
"Apricot brandy" said Mar
looking at the decanter. Pour

Children often find 1t easier
to use the left hand than the
right, and if parents are not
careful the habit soon becomes
definitely fixed.
Were left rather than right
handedness the rule, it wouldn't
matter a particle If an adult
used the left hand exclusively.
In fact, right-handednesS would
then place one in the awkward
class.
So many customs, however,
are based on righthand manipu-
demonstrating hands, for in
stance, arm boards on desks,
and the like-that the person
who is left-handed soon finds
himself singled out and re-
garded as peculiar.
The nerves which have to do
with motion of the hand muscles
are situated along the Fissure Of
Rolando, one such fisSure being
on each side Of the brain, run
ming vertically upwards and at
q point about where the ear
joins the head.
We say in neurology that "up
the fissure means down the
body" In other words, the
nerve cells at the bottom of the
fissure control the fingers and
not the toes, as one might ex-
pect, while those at the top Of
the fissure control the bottom
of the body-the toes. Further
more, the Rolandic Fissure on
the left side Of the brain con-
trolls the movements of the op
posite or right side Of the body,
and vice versa. Usually the
left Rolandic Fissure is more
highly developed than the one
On the right side; hence people
are generally right-handed.
When the right FiSSure of
Rolando happens to be more
highly sensitized, one should
not look upon it as an alb
no1mality. If all of us we're
trained early in life to use the
left hand more than the right.
we would soon become a race
Of left-handed people. AS it is,
however, lefthanded persons
often feel embarrassed, espe-
cially when they grow to mans
and woman's estate. For, after
all, the urge to be like every
body else is a strong one, and
for a child to be nicknamed
Lefty" does not help the de-
velopment of that child's ego
and self-reliance.
Indeed, uncorrected left
handedness has often led to
marked convictions Of inferi-
ority, and so has influenced ad-
versely a whole life. There are
cases where self-pity likewise
has been pronounced, and there
are women who have definitely
given up the idea Of marrying
for no better reason.
Therefore, we should try to
rout out left-handedness as soon
as we note it in a child. If a
boy or girl starts to write with
the left hand, place his pencil
in the right. If he proffers his
left hand. refuse it and ask for
