Bridge Side Of News.
Buenos Aires, s. A.

A CCoRDING to an article in a
IA New York newspaper, the South
Americans are thronging a bridge
club recently opened in Buenos Aires.
The only complaint of the gratif1ed
proprietress Is that Spanish hours
are q bit trying TO a born-and-bred
New Englander, accustomed to rising
at am. and preparing mammoth
dinner for the hired hands. Life be-
gins at IL am. in South America.
BY 2, the workers feel the need Of
little sustenance and siesta. Din
ner is scheduled for around 9 pm.
After the iqueurs. the evening really
starts. The cinema may be tndi-
Gated. Or, Jose, it is splendid idea
that we play bridge this evening, no
less verdad? Those who must arise
at the unholy hour of IL the next
morning usually quit at 2. But for
the rest, the last card is not played
until the dawn comes creeping in the
window.
Baton Rouge, La.-One of Mark
Twain's most celebrated books is THE
Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. ="
To mark the centennial of his birth,
the Mark Twain Centennial Commit
tee conceived the plan of holding frog
jumping contests all over the country,
said frogs to hail from the Louisiana
Swamps, where life is precarious and a
frog has to be on the jump all the
time to keep out Of snakes stomach.
I am happy to announce that two
spotted Nightmares put up good fight
in the New York City contest. They
jumped 6 feet in the elimination try
outs, and the proud handlers in
sisted that their patronymies had
something to do with it. These frogs

New York City, N "a certain
bridge club in Manhattan has adopted
for its mascot an albino monkey that
was recently presented to the Central
Park Zoo. Neither the Zoo nor the
monkey know anything about this de-
ciSion. but that bothers the club not
a whit. The only reason for having
such a mascot, says the hostess, is so
that when one member growls at an
other, You're nothing but white
ape" the insulted member cannot
call for swords and pistols. The host
ess explains sweetly TO him in private
that the slur actually ranks as a
compliment, since the club mascot is
a white ape himself.

LAB0R'S SHARE FROM
DOLLAR SALES GAINS
Steel Workers Receive II Per Cent
More In 1884 Than in go.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16..Labor' S
share of each dollar received by the
steel industry from the sale of sheet
steel was II per cent greater in 1894
than it was in 1929, according to a
report made today by the American
Iron and Steel Institute from data
furnished by prominent manufac-
turer.
In 1884, payrolls took 1872 cents
out of each dollar of sheet sales,
compared with 1875 in 1929 Over
the II years, 1923-1934, payrolls av-
eraged approximately 1856 cents out
of each sheet steel dollar.
From 1923 to 1884 sheet steel
prices declined 46.5 per cent, al
though great improvement was
made in the quality of the sheets
produced during the period The
steel industry received an average
of STOOLS a ton of sheet in 1923, but
in 1884 the average price received
a ton of steel sheets sold was only
1886. The sharp decline in sheet
steel prices has greatly reduced the
steel industrys income from the
sale of this product.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The tex
tile industry is taking leading posi-
ton in the current business recov-
cry from the point of operations,
according to a report issued today
by Poor's Publishing Co. Cotton and
woolens have shown a marked i'm
provement, whereas the recent in
crease in silk prices will result in a
still larger demand for rayon.
In the manufacture of cotton tex
tiles, spindles operated at 1893 per
cent of capacity during October,
compared with $50 per cent for Sep
TENDER and 97.3 per cent for Octo-
Der last year. The demand has been
so strong that the increased output
of the mills has not kept pace
Consequently, cotton goods in
ventories have declined and untitled
orders have expanded substantially
Notwithstanding all this, cotton
goods are still tagging in the price
recovery. In the manufacture of
woolens and worsteds during re-
cent months, operations have been
higher than in any previous fall
since the war, with the average
mill operating near capacity.
