BUSINESS PACE
CONTINUES UP,
SURVEY SHOWS
Index of Activity Rises One
Point to 58.4 in
Last Week.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The index
of business activity, compiled by
the Business Week, has risen to
58.4. compared with 583 a week
ago, it was disclosed today. At this
time last year the figure was GOT.
Definite improvement in bust
ness activity" the Business Week
declares in its review" becomes
more pronounced as the fourth
quarter draws towards its close.
September marked the low point of
1884 in manufacturing production,
chiefly as a result of the textile
strike. October found labor diff
culties smoothed over, and a period
of industrial peace began.
Employment and pay rolls
turned upward again. Retail trade
began to hum. Confidence that had
run pretty low in the summer
months when steel and textile out
put tapered, began to return. De-
spite the election returns Washing
ton turned an ear toward business
complaints, promised to hold of
further prodding to give industry
an opportunity to contribute to re-
covery progress. Except in the fields
of oil and utilities, the new policy
appears to hold.
Idle Problem Pressing
But the question arises if the
breathing period will be long
enough to permit industry to take
hold of the unemployment problem.
Congress convenes shortly after the
beginning of the year and will be
eager to do its bit at once. Though
manufacturing employment gained
in October over September, it stood
below year ago, and the unem-
ployed still number close to ten mil
lions.
Whether the 1895 program for
recovery shall Be by business or by
government, or by both, there is 20
doubt that it will be for more bust
ness. There is scarcely an indus
try that does not anticipate better
volume next year than in 1894.
Construction is the present big
hope, either under private or public
impetus.
November Awards Off
Upon it hinge a long row of al
lied industries from plumbing fix
lures to home furnishings. Novem-
Der awards are running below those
of October, as is customary. The
wide spread below last year, which
is certain to increase in December,
will not add luster to the conStruc-
ton, picture. 1t is due to the c.
large and rising volume
of public works awards which fell
in the last quarter of 1888. But
1884 as a whole will have no diff
Guilty surprising last year.
Most enthusiastic at the moment
are the retail merchants. Consum-
ers have started their Christmas
in advance of the season,
in many instances by a
share of the $4,000, 900 in Christ
mas club funds. Cleveland believes
its November department stores
sales were 10 per cent better than
a year ago; New York 8 per cent.

L is slow II people are on foot, but
whizzing through the air Allen and
/ the scientists covered 900 miles in the
course Of 10 hours. They landed just
before nightfall near the little town
called Cuyaba. Without an airplane the
journey would have taken about six
weeks.
Cuyaba is q town containing Bra
zilians Of Portuguese stock, civilized
Indians, Negroes and half-breeds.
These folk live far from any well
| settled part of Brazil, but they man
age to get along. They have q tele-
graph station, which gives them at
least few bits Of news from the out
side world, and from time to time car
riers bring them moving picture films,
and they are able to watch silent
movies.
The people Of Cuyaba were happy
to have visitors, and opened their
homes to the party from the Museum
of Natural History. Next day DR..
Barstow hired an Indian guide to 90
along on the journey to the Kalapalo
village.
You may imagine the excitement
Of the guide as he boarded an air
plane for the first time; but, being a
bold Indian, he showed no trace of
fear. Upward shot the plane, head
ing almost straight north. Hardly
an hour passed before one Of the two
pilots spied the fiat, open field where
he wanted to land.
After the landing was made DIR.
Barstow spoke with the pilots, using
English (of which they could under
stand a nttle) as well as Portuguese.
He invited them to join In the boat
trip, but they said that they would
rather stay and guard the plane.
They set up a small tent and declared
that they would have a fine time
camping while the rest were visiting
the Indians.
The baggage was taken from the
plane and was carried few hundred
yards to the riverside. There the
three canvas boats were unfolded and
were found to be in good condition.
Bidding farewell to the pilots, the
adventures padded away, two in
each boat. Mr.. Weston was Aliens
companion.
Allen felt that he was now in the
very heart Of the jungle.
Look at the parrotsl" exclaimed
Mr.. Weston.
The youth looked toward the left
bank of the stream and saw about a
dozen long-tailed parrots flying about.

could catch him before he could get
there. So he had sprung at Wiggle-
nose. And now Wigglenose was safe
in that hole under the stump. Such a
rage as Reddy few intol He knew he
couldn't dig that entrance any larger
on account of the roots, yet he tried
to. He dug at them furiously until he
realized that he would gain nothing
but couple of sore paws. And all the
time he snarled and growled and made
dreadful threats of what he would do
to Wigglenose. when he caught him.
Wigglenose shivered as he listened.
Could this possibly be that friendly
fellow with the smooth tongue who
had been so nice to him2 He shivered,
not at the dreadful threats, for he
knew that he was safe in that hole,
but at the thought of what would
have happened had he accepted one
of Reddy,s invitations to go to walk
with hin, or had he not discovered
that hole and been surprised at the
clover patch by Reddy. At the same
time he almost chuckled at the
thought of how cleverly he had tricked
Reddy into showing his true self and
purpose. He had been smart enough
to fool one of the smartest Of all his
neighbors. Do you wonder that he
almost chuckled?
Think you're smart, don't you?''
snarled Reddy from outside. Think
because you got away from me this
time you will do it again, don't you?
Well, you have another think coming.
From now on just you watch out for

how smart you are supposed to be,
but you were not smart enough to
catch me this time and there isn't go
ing to be any next time. I'll admit
that you fooled me for a time, but
you won't any more. For all your
smartness you made one big mistake. VI
For a moment curiosity overcame
Reddy's rage. He stopped snarling

"You grinned too much" replied
Wigglenose.

puzzled.

"You grinned too much and every time
you grinned you showed your long,
sharp teeth, and every time I saw
them I had an uncomfortable feeling
I didn't know what 1t meant then, but
do now. It was a warning. That is
one reason didn't accept those invi-
tations to go walking with you. I kept
thinking about those long, sharp teeth
I didn't like the looks of them"
And you won't like the feel Of them

"That is something don't intend

"But you will whether you intend to
or not" snapped Reddy. mo silly

You might as well come out now and
have it over with, for sooner or later
I'll catch you."

Conquering Contract

hand as that.
Second. South should not bid.
Possibly North wants to double three
| clubs. He should give North that
| opportunity. The fact that North
will bid three diamonds and South
three hearts, North four hearts, has
no bearing on the correctness Of q
pass.
West opened the deuce of clubs
From the bidding, West should lead
the three Of spades. He can well
assume that East's club suit Is either
long or strong, and should therefore
attempt to set up q side suit. With
the spade opening, South will take the
heart f1nesse. West should refuse to
win. If South carelessly leads the
ten Of hearts from dummy in order
to take the finesse second time, the
hand is set. West wins, and returns
another spade. South attempts to
drive out the ace Of diamonds. East
can hold on three times, and South
has no re-entry in dummy for his
long diamonds. He must thus lose
club on the hand.
With the club opening, South must
handle the timing carefully. He wins
the queen Of clubs with the ace, and
plays the ace Of hearts and another
heart. He cannot afford to use UP
one Of dummy's spades in order to
take the heart f1nesse. West pre-
sumably holds of on the second heart
lead. South now drives out the ace
of diamonds and discards his losing
spade on q long diamond. He loses q
heart, q diamond and q club on the
hand, making his contract.

It takes about @ year for @ shrimp
to reach maturity. As they near this
age they are making their way to
deeper water and are replaced in

Fully one-half of the catch Of
shrimps In Louisiana Is dried. The
heads and shells are left ON, and
the shrimps are boiled for about 80
minutes In large kettles Of salted
water. Then they are spread on
large platforms. where they dry In
the sun. This process takes one or
two days, according to the weather.
The cooked shrimps are placed in
circular piles, and the meat threShed

is known as dancing the shrimp"
The meat Is separated from the shells

they travel about. They seize every
available form Of food Of plant or
animal they can find. They enjoy
seaweed as much as they do worms,
crustaceans, bryozoa and all forms
of marine life. Where this food Is
not available, when they find them
selves in salt marshes, they eat stems
roots, leaves and odds and ends Of
food in great abundance In these
places.
Where there is bountiful supply
to meet their needs, you will find great
schools Of them. So great, at times
will be their number that the waters
will be muddied by the scurrying
hordes as they go methodically over
the muddy bottom on their walking
legs and swimmerets.
Sometimes large numbers Of them
will be carried a long distance by
the fast currents of the tides or q
strong wind. When forced to travel
with speed, they use the swimmerets
alone.
The breeding season is a long one
from Spring to early Autumn. This
will account for the fact that you

There are myriads Of eggs laid.
Many of them never are Matched.
Even If the eggs hatch, the little

They make their way into inside

The Timing Factor.

ITHE theory of play on most
hands-boiled down to its es-
sentials-is this: Try to set
Il up your tricks before the op-
ponents can set up their tricks.
The time -honored method of count
ing your losing tricks and then deter
mining how you can dispose of those
losers Is the best one.
Suppose you have losing trick In
suit. You attempt to set up another
suit on which you can discard this
loser. In the meantime, the oppo-
nents try to drive out your stopper,
or shoppers, in the first suit, be-
fore you can set up the second suit.
II they are successful, you say that
the timing on the hand was wrong.
In other words, they probably opened
the first suit, thus getting the jump
on you.

For Informal Town Wear or the Campus
Retains Its individuality in Use

Among the new trotteurs seen in
the advanced collections, the one we
have sketched today boasts more than
the usual number Of advantages.
Study 1t and you'll see. Its lines,
viewed from an angle Of smartneSS,
are charmingly nonchalant and un-
studied, and from a standpoint OF
wearability they abound in details
that make for a sustained feeling of
comfort and well being The accep-
tance of frocks of this same type, dur
ing the Summer, has inspired the
American designers to do bigger and
better things for college girls and
women with slim youthful figures.
For informal town wear, or for wear
on the campus there is nothing nicer
than a variety of little frocks like TINS
one. Work in it, or play in it, and
still 1t retains its individuality. The
yoke conforms to the broad-shoulder
requirements-the sleeves terminate
their modish fullness in a trim wrist
band (very new, and the skirt pro-
