NEW YORK. November 16.-The
French influence. already predominant
in the field of art here this month,
received a new boost during the last
week with the opening Of an exhibi-
ton of "Napoleonana."
The Gallery for French Art. in
Rockefeller Center, has assembled,
with the aid of French museums and
private collectors, what it calls "the
most important historical record of a
lone man ever held in America, and
undoubtedly the most comprehensive
ever devoted to Napoleon, comparative
only to the King of Rome exhibition
held in the Louvre in Paris in 1882"
Articles ranging from famed por-
traits to a baby's rattle are gathered
competing for interest with other exhi-
bitions of French flavor devoted ex-
clusively to the creative art field.
At the Museum of Modern Art

Van Gogh, nineteenth century Dutch

continues to draw crowds which made
necessary lengthening of the regular
museum hours. Attracted possibly by
interest in the life story of the mad
painter and by knowledge that this
group of pictures was insured for ST.
000,00 when brought here, as many
as $500 persons have crowded the
museum in single day
Meanwhile. the Wildenstein Gal
leries have placed on display a group
representing the seventeenth century
French art, the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art this month Is featuring French
art of the eighteenth century, and the
Marie Hartman Galleries are showing
group of "primitives" by amateur
French painters of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Also current is a small but select
exhibition at the Bignou Galleries en-
titled "Cezanne and the Impression
lists" and including works of Pissaro,
Monet and Manet.
The Gallery for French Arts dis
play, the most recently opened, is en-
titled The General. the Consul, the
Emperor, the Exile"
In addition to famous paintings Of
Napoleon, from his first portrait to his
last, it includes portraits of the infant
King of Rome" and of the Empress
Josephine.
The historical relics include many
which could not be moved, even though
privately owned, except with permis-

Limited Funds to Enforce
Act May Serve Until Con.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
The Farm Administration announc-
ed formally yesterday that limited
funds have been found for enforce
ment of the tax-control potato law.
1t said advances against tax col
lections and unallocated funds granted
Secretary Wallace were designated by
Controller General McCarl for use in
administering the potato act.
In making the announcement, the
A. A. A. made public a McCarl ruling
that work relief money was not avail
able for the potato control law.
The work-relief law provided part
of the s4,OO0,0 100000 might be used to
carry out requirements Of the ADJUST
ment act. But in a letter to Wallace,
McCarl said that while the potato
law was attached to the A. A. A.
amendments, it did not amend the
adjustment act.
Consequently" he wrote, "the ap-
propriations made by the emergency
relief appropriations act of 1885 are
not available for the expenses of ad-
ministering the potato act of 1885"
The A. A. A. said an estimate will
be made of receipts from the tax of
three-fourths of a cent a pound on
all potatoes harvested after December
|, 1885, and sold in excess of a ma
tional allotment. Then an advance
will be requested.
However, officials said the estimate
Of tax collections, which must be ap-
proved by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, probably would not exceed $685.
900. j. B. Hutson, director of the
potato division, said:
I'VE anticipate that only a small
quantity of potatoes will be taxed un-
der the act, probably less than per
cent of the entire crop and less than
l per cent of the crop will be sold
during the period covered by the esti-
mate to be made on or about Decem-
ber |.
This money. however, would enable
the printing, engraving, and distri-
button Of enough tax exemption
stamps to cover the part of the crop
sold prior to the opening of the next
session of Congress"

C. OF c. SEES TURN
TOWARD RECOVERY
Industrial C0.ordinator Also
Halls Gains in Report
to Roosevelt.
By the Associated Press.


A Swing toward economic recovery"
was noted by the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States yesterday,
coincident with a Commerce Depart
ment report of a decided pickup in
retail business last week.
simultaneously, too, George L. Berry,
co-ordinator for industrial co-opera-
ton, reported to President Roosevelt
every decided improvement" in eco
nomic conditions.
The chamber attributed better times
to President Roosevelt's breathing
spell" for business, while cool weather
was credited by the department for
better retail trade in all the 33 cities
covered by its survey except New York,
Boston. Washington, Atlanta and
Philadelphia.
Many Re-empIoyed.
BY October, the chamber said in
its business review, manufacturing in
dustries had re-employed So per cent
of their workers who were idle in
March, 1888. This percentage amounted
to about 2500,000 men. The railroads
had taken back 95, 900 men, the whole
sale and retail trades. 815, 900, and the
building trades, 434,000.
with the convening of Congress only
q little more than six weeks away,
business interest increasingly centers
upon the prospects of new legislation,
as it may tend to encourage or to re-
tard the present upward swing toward
economic recovery the review said.
The Commerce Department noted
that holiday demands already were
being felt in a number of cities.
But tagging retail business kept New
York wholesale markets quiet. Furni-
lure buying of Spring lines, however,
was reported excellent despite price
Increases"
Philadelphia, on the other hand,
noted better wholesale business. Man
ufacturers in the Pennsylvania city
continued to report improvement.

smaller by about 10000 than they
were year ago.
Chicago wholesalers told the de-
partment orders in some lines were
largely on a hand-to-mouth basis
with business from rural districts still
good. Toilet articles moved better
than at any time since 1929. st. Louis
wholesalers reported advance holiday
buying better than for several years.
Pittsburgh steel manufacturers
noted a marked improvement in the
tone of railroad purchases" while ship
ments to the auto industry were in
creasing. A number of Western car
riers were inquiring into railroad car
prices.
Steel for the auto industry still was
/ the greatest factor in the Cleveland
industrial area, although many Cleve-
land manufacturers of heating and
|ventilating units had their best Au-
tumn in four years.
Cincinnati sent a 20-car train OF
electric refrigerators to New York for
shipment to South Africa. Louisville
reported distillers were preparing to
undertake heavy building programs as
Ia result Of the recent repeal Of the
State prohibition amendment.

desire raise as much more as he
wished.
The second line of attack on the
farm problem, Col. Knox said. might
well be found in the increased use OF
farm products for fabricated products.
Organic chemistry is making great
strides along this line, he said. He
mentioned the soy bean and its uses
for many manufactures in industry as
an example of what has been done.
The production of soy beans has been
enormously increased, with six mil
lion acres planted this year.
Discussing the results of the recent
elections, Col. Knox said that while
they had shown a decided trend
against the Roosevelt administrator,
It would be folly for the Republicans
to interpret them as meaning sure
victory next year.
What is needed, if the Republican
party is to win next year." he said,
sis an intensive campaign Of educa-
ton. It would be ruinous for the Re-
publicans to become over confident"
Where the New Deal had been made
hn issue in the campaigns in various
States now ended, the Republicans
had shown gains, Knox said. pointing
particularly to New England and other
States as far West as Ohio. In Ken
tucky, where the Democrats elected
by a big vote their candidates for
Governor, the Republicans had not
raised the New Deal issue, Col Knox
insisted. The Republican candidate
for Governor, King Swope, he said,
had kept away from this issue and
did not want speakers to come into
the State to attack Roosevelt.
Col. Knox saw as major issues in
the coming campaign broken cam
paign pledges" on the part OF the
Roosevelt administration, complete
indifference to the cost of the New
Deal and to the probability of in
creased taxes, and the failure of the
administration to apply the principle
of economy in Government opera
tions.
To Take Democratic "Discards."
He said the Republicans should
write into their own platform next
year at least six of the planks Of the
Democratic platform of 1882, all of
which had been thrown into the dis
card by the Roosevelt administration.
Among them he enumerated bal
anced Government, stabilization Of
the currency, the enforcement Of the
antitrust laws, and old-age pensions
and unemployment insurance by State
laws.
"The Democratic platform was
beautifully written and beautifully
discarded" he said.
While he announced himself op-
posed to the Roosevelt New Deal, lock,
stock and barrel, Col. Knox said the
detectives of some of the New Deal
measures were good. Everyone, he
said, was opposed to child labor, IN
favor of fair treatment of labor and
against the fioatation of unsound Sc
curities. The trouble. he said, lay
with the methods which had been
undertaken to bring about reforms
and better conditions. They were, he
contended, unsound and coercive.
Speaking of the political situation In
Illinois, his home State, Col. Knox said
the Republicans were more united
today than for years. Factionalism
has torn the party wide open in recent
years. he said.
"Adyersity has its uses, even In pol
kics,' said Col. Knox. To-day the

didate for the Republican nomina-
ton.

Knox.
Nevertheless, it is generally expected
that when the convention is held next
year the Illinois delegation will be or
hand to vote solidly for Knox.
Chicago, Col. Knox said, would seek
both the Republican and Democratic
national conventions of 1886. A COM
mittee Of 300 has been organized to
campaign for these conventions. Both
conventions were held in that city in
1882
Whether the Republican conven-
ton would be held before or after
the Democratic convention, Col. Knox
said, would depend on whether the
Democrats determined to hold their
convention last.
1T is right and proper" he said,
that the party in power should hold
its national convention first. That
course was pursued by the Repub-
icans in the past. If the Democrats
insist, however, on letting things run
along without fixing a date, then OBJ
viously the Republicans will go ahead
and set the time for their convention
irrespective of what the Democrats
may do"
Democratic Critics Cited.
The bitterest critics of the Roose-
welt New Deal, Col. Knox said, have
been Democrats, Many of them, he
said, had told him they would never
again vote for Roosevelt. He did not
look, he said, for a national move
ment against Roosevelt in the Demo-
cratic party, although he did expect
such movement to organize in some
States.
II have been told" he said, "that
the opposition to Roosevelt may seek
in the Democratic convention to
break down the two-thirds rule"
Discussing President Roosevelt's pol
icy of indorsing Progressives of the
type of Senator Norris of Nebraska
and La Toilette OF Wisconsin, he
said, the Roosevelt policies generally
were leading to a realignment politi-
cally. Many of the rank and file of
the Democrats would not support
Roosevelt, he insisted, although Dem
ocrats in Office and those who looked
to the administration for personal
benefits would continue to support it..
Can Roosevelt be beaten next
year." he was asked.
"Emphatically yes," Knox replied.
Col. Knox will be in Washington
often in the next few months. Mrs.
Knox has taken an apartment at the
Shoreham Hotel for the Winter, seek
ing a milder climate than Chicago.
He expects to spend most of his week
ends here.

"They are haunted by no old ghost
Of balanced budget" he said. But
national planning thinks in phrases
and slogans rather than the exacti-
tude of the cash register. We now
know that in addition to increased
taxes after four years of it the bill
of increased taxpayers liabilities will
be about $4,000, 100000.
"If they have a cash register, it
certainly has an astronomical key
board.
Judged by works and not by words,
another consistency in this sort of
economic planning is to limit pro-
duction-the essence Of monopoly.
They have given us planned scarcity

erates-in place Of economic plenty,
upon which America has grown great.

Waiting Room Magazines

Now that the doctors and dentists are to be allowed to deduct from their income tax the cost of reading matter used in their waiting rooms, patients wonder whether current magazines will replace the antiquarian literature which has been used. Or will the doctors deduct the price of the magazines they bought in 1884, flo. example, from their 1884 reports, while they put the magazines themselves in storage until 1886?
 It will all depend, perhaps, on the real explanation of why magazines ranging from six months to two years in age have been the rule in waiting room literature. If, as some one suggests, doctors use old magazines in order not to stimulate and excite waiting patients too much, the old magazines will continue to be in order. Or if it is because current magazine always tempts an absent-minded patient to carry it away with him afterwards, there isn't much hope of change.
 There is always a chance, however, that the Internal Revenue Bureau will send out investigators with imaginary tooth- aches or pains in the chest to check up on the waiting room reading matter. In that case, sick folks ought to begin to get caught up on current serials in all their favorite magazines.

Ill-Fated Dirigibles

The Macon, largest airship in the world, has gone the way of most giant dirigibles. Prior to the destruction of the Macon there had been IS major dirigible wrecks in the past 23 years, involving British, French, Italian, German and American airships. To the average citi- zen, whose knowledge of the great air ships is limited to what he has read about them, the question occurs: Have there been any gains so far commensurate with the losses in human life or property? Eng land, officially giving negative answer, abandoned further government expert ments with, the dirigible. Is there sound reason for the United States to go on?
 Only one of these, air monsters has long escaped their usual fate It is the Graf Zeppelin, which has been flying here and there around the world for years under the guidance of Count Hugo Eckener. It has flown within the Arctic Circle, across Siberia, around the world, and has for seasons made regular scheduled flights with passengers between Germany and Brazil. Is the Graf Zeppelin better-con- structed airship than any other in the world? Is Eckener the only competent lirigible navigator? In building our huge Akron and Macon, both wrecked, did we sacrifice efficiency and safety for size?
