 Written by Laurence E. John- son, author of numerous Broad- way hits that have been signal suc- cesses in stock, 'It's a Wise Child" is a delightfully."- funny comedy = farcial in spots, but altogether charming-based on the old theory that it is a wise child that knows it's own father.

Judging from the crowds that have been flocking to the New Gar den theater to view Werewolf of London" the public would rather be thrilled and entertained than be handed films designed to solve So- cial problems.

The werewolf bites him in the arm, and then he knows, according to the fable, that he is doomed to turn into a wolf each month during the full of the moon. The only thing that can prevent this terrible thing from happening is plant called the wolf flower"

TRADE IS EXPECTED.
TO CLIMB SHARPLY.
Dun & Bradstreet Forecasts
Greatest Upturn in rs
Years Soon.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 12-The sharp
est business rise in Is years was fore
cast for the immediate future in the
weekly business review by Dun &
Bradstreet today.
More convincing proof has come
forward that the passing Of March
left behind the lows for the year, "
the review stated.
During the week there was a COM
plete transformation of sentiment, as
the hopes for q rather far-removed
improvement were replaced by q real
ization that the immediate future Is
to bring the sharpest rise that has
been witnessed In business In the past
quarter Of . century"
The review added that the rise
will be fortified adequately to prevent
the interrupting recessions which fol-
lowed the spurts Of the last two
years"
It continued: Potential benefits
Of the five billion dollars appropriated
by the Government have provided
stimulus needed to dispel the i'm
patience which had appeared In some
branches because of the let-down in
business toward the close OF the first
quarter.
"All of the reports received were
more decisive than at any time this
year in the confident attitude taken
regarding a more even tempo Of
progress from now on.
Encouragement also was provided
by the fact that, in spite of rain,
cold, snowfall and recurrent dust
storms, consumer demand was SUM-
ciently strong to carry retail distribu-
ton to a larger total than for the
week preceding"
Wholesalers were rushed with re-
orders, the review said, and many re-
tailers lost sales because Of delays
incident to the rush.
General industry continues at the
years peak, with the gains being ex.
tended in the output Of the products
for national consumption, 1t reported.
Industries in most parts of the
country now are advancing at the
most orderly pace in the last two
months, as all of the strikes have
been settled and threats OF walkouts
have been dissipated."

This consolidated net, which in
cludes the operating results of the
company's wholly owned subsidiaries
the Detroit Gasket & Manufacturing
Co. and the Western Stopper Co.,
Inc.-compares with net profits of
$950.528 reported for 1888, making q
net gain for last year of $333,479, or
approximately IS per cent. Net per
share for 1888 amounted to $l.46.

the year aggregated $10.879,534. as

building material prices has receded.
The disparity between rentals and
costs has not been narrowed SUM-
GENTLY to encourage widespread home
building. But the trends have
cheered officials seeking to promote
construction as one of the major keys
to the unemployment problem.
The index Of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for April 6 shows building
materials at 843, the low for the year,
compared with 887 a year ago.
Meanwhile the building chart Of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Boards q
research division points to a distinct
uptrend In residential construction.
The March gain was well in excess
of seasonal expectations. For the first
quarter, the chart-makers recorded q
rise Of about a per cent In residential
building over 1884.
In the aggregate, however, residen-
tia! construction remains small by
comparison with pre-depression levels.
Federal slum clearance projects in
conjunction with expanding private
home building may give the total a
decided lift in the second half Of
1885 and next year, officials say.
A high level of real estate fore
closures Is considered another obstacle
to rapid revival. But latest banking
statistics, together with refunding op-
erations carried on through the H. o.
L. c. and other agencies, were inter-
preted as forecasting less pressure
from foreclosures.

By the Associated Press.

sonal expansion in March, Dun IL
Bradstreet reported in survey on con.
Struction.
The gain, expressed in number and

compiled by the agency was the largest
since April, 1892, and represented a
total value Of $45, $685. 1922, as COM
pared with $27,636,367 in February.
This was an increase of $50 per
cent, as against a normal seasonal
gain Of about $50 per cent.
Marked improvement was also
shown over the corresponding month
of last year. Comparison with March,
1884, total Of $25, sos, ,005 reveals Q rise
Of 76.7 per cent.

The POTATO War.

It Is with considerable relief that one
can turn from the tragedy of the war
In Ethiopia, with its needless carnage and
It's iniquity of unprovoked invasion, to
another form of combat, here In the land
of the free and the home Of the brave.
Instead Of gas bombs and fire balls and
explosive shells, potatoes are the missiles.
They are not deadly, but fired with force
and with good aim and true they may
be demoralizing. They have been flying
back and forth between the embattled
farmers and the entrenched administra-
tive forces now for some days and the
casualties are piling up and something
will have to be done about 1t soon or
the Red Cross must don its peace paint
and 70 into the trenches to succor the
sufferers.
There are, IN fact, three sides TO the
