deville; the T-eene twins with Vic

battles and dancing but are really

Travelling 'Saleslady," the pic

William Gargan. It is as fluffy as

quite harmless.
Breezy Picture
Most of it's laughs come from
this female commercial drummer
selling tooth paste favored with
your favorite cocktail or rye, and
matching her wits against male
salesman peddling the regulation
antiseptic molar poliSher. Saucer
eyed Joan is just too smart to live
and Salesman Gargan too stupid
to be working so they compromise
and get married. When Blondell
is not getting laughs Hugh Her
bert steps in and keeps the comedy
moving.
Glenda Farrell seems to be help
less now unless the script writer
gives her wisecracks. In this pic
ture she has none at all and so
her score card is empty. She
should watch Mr.. Herbert and
learn what gestures can do to
arouse mirth.

Well, Johnny and Jane, it looks as though you'd go back to school tomorrow as scheduled--rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Which is just one way of saying that the talk" prevalent around the city last night that neither the high school nor the grammar school would open on schedule to- morrow due to influenza cases, is not true. School will hold tomor- row. Take the word of A. B. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools
 T don't know where the rumor that school would not be held came from" Phillips said this morning. T haven't hinted any such action. Say for me that all students in both high school and grammar school are due for attend ance tomorrow morning"

L. w. Baker, Traffic Manager Of the Alaska Steamship Company, who was back at his desk today after trip to Chicago and St. Paul where he conferred with pas- senger officials of the transcontin- ental railroads, said 1895 will be a banner see-America year and tour ist travel to Alaska may break all records.
 MT. Baker addressed annual meetings of Great Northern Rail- way Company traffic officials in St. Paul December 2 and Northern Pacific traffic men in Chicago De- cember 6, discussing Alaska travel. He also conferred with Milwaukee Railroad and Union Pacific traffic officials and various transcontin- ental railway representatives.
 The consensus of all the rail- way passenger men with whom I talked was that we may look for banner see-America movement of tourists in 1885 and Alaska travel may break all records" said MT. Baker.

THE STORY OF 1884 ----.
By CLAUDE A. JAEGER Associated Press Financial Editcr)

NEW YORK, Jan. Eager to cast away it's crutches, American business enthusiastically faces the new year
 The end of 1884 finds this pow erful patient of the economic doc tors undeniably stronger than a year ago, and irked with the regi- men of convaleseence.
 But the Washington physicians, while anxious to have business back at work supporting the huge Am erican family once more, assert that it is not yet able, and cannot be permitted to return to it's un- governed life of the past. They insist upon imposing permanent rules of health.
 The second calendar year of re- covery, therefore, has been a year of controversy, of trial and error, but nonetheless of progress. The drama of 1933-a year of bold surgical operations upon the eco- homie structure-has been lacking.
 Recovery during 1884 was most striking in agricultural areas, de- spite a record-breaking drought. And for the country as whole, consumer buying swelled in the later months of the year to the largest volume since perhaps 1930 While statistics on the volume of Christmas trade are as yet meager,

At another time when the Irish trouble was at its height, he ad- dressed an Irish congregation on St. Patrick's Day, saying, among ether things: We can proudly say that England, even more perhaps than Rome, by it's worldwide in- fluence, makes for the general good Of mankind"
 Cardinal Bourne was born at Clapham, London, March 23, 1861, the second son of Henry and Ellen Byrne Bourne. His father, a high postoffice official, was convert to Roman Catholicism, while his mother was an Irish Catholic. The cardinal was educated at St. Cuth- bert's College, Ushaw; St. Edmund's College. Ware; St. Sulpice, Paris, and finally at the University of Louvain, where he was ordained in 1884.
 Not since the time of Cardinal Wolsey had an Englishman risen So quickly to fame and eminence in the Catholic Church as did Cardi- nal Bourne. After five years as an assistant priest, he was made rec tor of a diocesan seminary. In 1895 Pope Leo XIII made him a rnOnsipnor and a year later at the age of 35, he was consecrated Co., adjutor Bishop of Southwark to which see he succeeded in 1897.
 On the death of Cardinal Vaugh- an in 1903, he became the fourth prelate to occupy the archiepiscopal throne of Westminster, and eight years later, at the age of 50, he was made cardinal

working satisfactorily by the end of the year
 Foundations Are Laid
 The year in banking and finance was less spectacular than 1883, but 1884 may have been the year in which foundations were laid for the normal functioning of the great credit and money mechanism There was no more than seasonal expansion of bank credit during the year. And while the govern nent was pouring out its $4,50o,- 100000 of special expenditures and advances, new capital raised by corporations through issue of se- curities, according to registrations with the securities and exchange commission, amounted to not much more than 10 percent of that.
 Yet banking autnorlties say that ;he potentialities of credit expan- sion now existing in the banking structure are almost unlimited, and some express concern that once credit starts to move, it may be difficult to prevent a dangerous, runaway boom.
 The outstanding financial step of the year was taken last January, when the dollar was placed on tentative gold bullion standard at 59.06 per cent of its old parity. This boosted the gold reserves, as reckoned in terms of the new dol lars, to record-breaking levels, and attracted a flood of bullion from abroad. Bond prices scared for time, bank deposits mounted, and institutional investors found diff culty in employing surplus funds profitably.
 There was a momentary imitation scare in the money markets in August and early September, but few weeks before the election, fed eral government spokesmen began a campaign of reinsurance.
 Business Sentiment Better
 Business sentiment, most observ- CTS report has taken a sharp lift in the past two months. While some business and financial spokes- men still urge an early balancing of the budget and withdrawal of the government from most of it's emergency activities as essential to the restoration of business confi- dence, leaders in the administra- tion reply that government ex- penditures will be curtailed as soon as business is able to take up the slack in employment.
 In the meantime, there is little doubt that many business and fi- nancial leaders look to 1895 with high hopes that the challenge to resume employment and get rid of the crutches can be met.

the same time dividing unwieldy iioceses. 4A
 Although always zealous for the progress of his church, it was said that none of his predecessors ex- nibited the power of sincere pat riotism which so colored the pas 5orals of Cardinal Bourne. He de- ,lined to support the idea of Catholic university or party in England, preferring that Catholics attend national universities and affiliate with the existing parties.
 Elevated to College
 When he was elevated to the College of Cardinals he said in an address: "No power in the world is more fitted for the providential extension of the Catholic Church than that which has it's symbol in the Imperial Crown of England" :"

a number of business analysts be- ieve it has been the most ahun- dant Yuletide in four years.
 Cost of Living Up
 But industrial prouuction ant factory payrolls do not show much change from year ago. The en- tire 12 months of 1884 were vel ahead of the previous year, but that was due in no small measure to the extremely poor record of the early months of 1883. Factory pay rolls, according to recent statis- tics, are only moderately above the levels prevailing toward the end of last year And the cost of living has risen too
 Despite improvement in wages and employment here and there, relief roles continued to mount in 1884 as more and more families that had managed to get by on savings or the help of relatives found their resources exhausted How to get the millions back to work? That is the challenge to 1895.
 The governments emergency ex- penditures swelled to a flood rival ing that of wartime, and in the opinion of most analysts were an important factor in the years inn provement in sales of consumers goods.
 But the heavy lines of industry, such as construction, steel, railway equipment, made limited progress. These lines, together with innum- erable miscellaneous services and distributive activities which require general prosperity, accounted large ly for the defiant problem of un- employment.
 Farmers Income Rises
 Emergency outlays and credits of the government came close to $4,- 500,000,O00. Benefits and bonuses paid to farmers, together with the higher crop prices, gave the cash income of the agricultural areas a husky boost. Some estimates have placed total farm income at more than 25 per cent above 1883.
 With hard cash in his pocket for the first time in years, the farmer has shown himself no miser. The automobile industry made and sold more cars than in any year since 1880. In the final month of the year, retail sales reports from the south, middle west and southwest registered gains of 20 to 25 per cent over the previous year.
 While industrial production is still close to the levels of Decem- Der, 1883, it has followed a more normal pattern than in that hec- tic year. There was spring expan- oiOii, PiOiiOuiiSCd cuhiiiiCi AuAi and moderate seasonal pickup in autumn. That was almost the re- verse of 1883.
 Both industry and finance have had an opportunity in 1884 to ad- just themselves to the new order of government regulation. And the regulation has undergone adjust ment to business and finance. The MIRA has been revamped, and the securities act of 1883 has beer amended. Regulation was expanded to embrace stock exchanges, and Wall street groaned for time, but it was rather widely agreed that the stock market regulation was

Passing the Buck Again

The lack of intestinal forttude which has character ized the Connecticut AAU for years upon the few occas open of one of it's meetings was once brought to attention of state sport followers last night when Its SIX delegates the national AAU. convention in New Xork during December named to go "uninstructed upon the question of Connectcus AAU official standing on
 recommendation relative to Americas participation m the 1886 Berlin Oympcs, due to treatment ot Jews m Germany by the Hitler government and in particular it's treatment of Jewish athletes contradicted with it's "promise" of discrimination. The Connecticut AAu should be ashamed to have the courage to declare itself on question of such nature its action of sending delegates "uninstructed" being, to my mind cowardy piece of procedure It's the same old AAU. with Just few new lapels wearing those big badges with the nice silk ribbons. Incidentally wonder if the dele gates will really make up their own minds If they do it will be the first time that has happened in relation to AAU activities I hope to be there to get their vote at the time they must declare themselves one way or the other.
