COTTON CHALKS
UP GOOD GAINS

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.sO.
In a briskly moving market, COT
ton made substantial gains today.
Strength abroad and the ad.
vances in other commodities were
constructive influences in the gen.
orally favorable cotton market
situation.
Buying orders came from all d.
rections, with foreign interests
taking the distant months early in
the day, narrowing the spread be-.
tween the spot month and new
crop year. Spot houses bought
heavily in January and May.
There was price fixing by foreign
and domestic mills. Wall Street
bought moderately. Most of the
selling was profit taking. The Far
East sold moderately in May, and
there was some hedge selling in
May and July.
March sold at 1880 up i. May

ECONOMISTS
VIEW INCOME
7OB|LL|0NS

AhternauOnal news SeEVlCo
Administration economists to-
day viewed 1887 business condi-
tions with optimism and predicted
national income would soar we'll
beyond $4,000, 100000.
Although Secretary of Commercs
Roper reported that considerable
progress" must yet be made before
the 1928.29 level of production and
consumption is reached, all major
industries are expected to register
healthy improvement during the
year.
Preliminary estimates place ma
tional income for 1885 at approx
mately $4,000, 100000, against
$50, 900 10000 in 1929, the peak
of the boom period. National in
come this year gained nearly
$8,000,000,000 over the 1885
volume.
Revival Is Expected
Further revival in the conStruo.
tion industry was hoped for during
the next IL months. Unemploy.
ment resulting from the tremend.
Gus shrinkage in construction work
during the economic slump was
only partly alleviated in 1885.
Roper said:
although building operations
are still on a restricted scale, far
below the level of the 192O'S in
both the residential and indus
trial fields, the comparison with
the preceding fiscal year reveals
considerable improvement in
actual operations, and a change
for the better in some Of the
factors which are important in
the long-term trend of building
activity"
Officials consider the revitaliz-
ing of the construction industry
as the most important step towards
complete recovery, since, during
periods Of normal business activ.
ity, the industry employs nearly
2,500,000 workers.
Expect Retail Gains
Based on the 1886 trend, Com
merce officials look for pronounced
gains in practically all major lines
of retail trade. Sale of automo-
biles, furniture, jewelry, vacuum
cleaners, washing machines, and
mechanical refrigerators, which
rose sharply during the past year,
are expected to hold up well during
1887.
Expansion Of American export
trade appears likely. In his an
nual report, Roper indicated pro-
ducers may enjoy larger opportuni-
ties for foreign sales next year.
Some of the factors that may
stimulate sales abroad will be the
improvement of economic condi-
tions in a number of foreign coun-
tries, possible moderation Of
tariffs and trade barriers by Latin
American nations; extension Of
reciprocal trade agreements: liber.
alization of regulations affecting
trade between the United States
and Germany, and continuation OF
unsettled political conditions in
certain countries which necessi-
tates expansion Of raw material
purchases.

retirement from the podium of
the Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra was ostensibly to make re-
search in the field Of music. His
researches seem to be carrying
him somewhat afield.
Paderewski will make his film
debut in a picture entitled 1.-THE
Moonlight Sonata" He will not
be cast in any fictitious role, but
will appear as himself. The pic
ture is being filmed in London.
His leading lady, Marie Tempest
is 70, while the pianist is now 76
years of age.
Paderewski has never been
averse to having his efforts re-
corded, as he was one of the first
of the great artists that allowed
photograph records to be made;
and that at time when the repro
ducing mechanism could not begin
to do as full justice to his playing
as now. Working in the newer me-
dunn Of sound film, Paderewski
and his art will be heard by count
less more people than formerly
and his memory will be preserved
for future generations. ~

In effect centripetal force, it correlates

A BOOK OF LIFE
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d, d, D. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

Books play q conspicuous part in
shaping human thought and conduct.
Certain very notable books have proved
epochal in that they have changed the
course of human events. One of the
worlds great thinkers maintained that
the reading of single book changed his
whole philosophy of life. 1t literally
marked an intelligent rebirth.
1t is probably true of all of us that
we can date notable transitions in our
lives to the reading of some strong and
memorable book
Compared with the literature of all
time, nothing equals or transcends one
of the briefest biographies ever written,
namely, that which we call the gospel.
Four men undertook to write in simple
form the story of the life, teaching and
ministry of Jesus Christ. The earliest
of these writers was doubtless st. Mark.
It is short gospel but the critics have
given 1t a place of peculiar distinction,
and it's authenticity in unchallenged. St.
Mark was the companion and disciple of
the Apostle Peter and his book discloses
the influence of his great leader. 1t
reflects the aggressive. Stalwart and
courageous spirit of ST. Peter. 1t differs
from the other gospels in its opening
passage-"The beginning of the gospel
of Jesus Christ; the Son of God" There
is no attempt at genealogy, as in the case
of st. Matthew, nor of the birth of Christ,
as in the case of st. Luke, nor of the
strong doctrinal statement with which
st. John adorns his mighty message.
Fortnight and direct are the charac-
teristics of st. Marks writing and the
incidents he relates are marked by
brevity and a pictureSquenesS that is
altogether arresting. That his gospel
strongly influenced the other writer's is
clearly evident. One of the most re-
markable things about this book is its
brevity and at the same time the COM
prehensiveness of its statements. It is
safe to say that no book in the worlds
literature has had more profound inf1u-
ence upon human thought and conduct
than this gospel, and even in periods
that have been characterized by much
Evening star., 1936-08-02

OF apostasy and doubt its influence has
prevailed with unabated force
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus
Christ" is in itself singularly appeal
ing and suggestive statement It raises
a question in our mind as to when and
where the reading of this great book
affected Our own life habit and practice.
In our corporate life we proudly affirm
that ours is Christian civilization" !"
This implies that the characteristics of
our modern world have their genesis or
beginning in what the gospels set forth.
Despite all that materialistic age, with
its large emphasis upon physical and
material values, aff1rms, the gospel still
prevails and its influence is not bounded
by time or space. While one may at a
single reading (and that not a long
one) encompass the whole of such a
book as the gospel of ST. Mark, it re-
quires lifetime to comprehend the pro-
fundity and beauty of its teaching. 1t is
the portraiture of one whom the writer
describes as, Jesus Christ, the Son of
God" 1t is this that makes it the most
compelling and persistent piece of litera-
ture through some 19 centuries of
time. Beyond all application of its
PAOAOdllO u utIlo W
the query persists, where does it have
its beginning and persuasive influence
in our individual life? We readily recog-
nize that it has permeated the literature
of the world and that it occupies a place
OF unique distinction. One writer main
tains that it describes the life of one
who is the mightiest among the mighty;
who with His pierced hands lifted the
gates of empire from their hinges" but
such recognition is utterly inadequate to
express what this gospel means to us
in our individual lives. 1t was a great
Englishman who said: 1.-THE gospel finds
me-" His long pondering of its matchleSs
teaching had affected the whole course
Of his thinking and habit.
In the miSts and confuSions of an age
that is sorely distressed and distracted
we turn again to "the beginning of the
gospel of Jesus Christ" and in it we
find an Interpretation of life and its
meaning; the shortest biography of the
greatest life that was ever lived.

and undisciplined mind. The three
small boys who picketed the house Of
Mrs. Margaret ODonnell in Brooklyn
constitute a case in point. She chased
the youngsters off her lawn, and they re-
taliated by parading up and down the
sidewalk with banner advertising her
as unfair" to her junior neighbors. But
the victim of their spitefulness put her
finger on the basic problem involved
when she said: "They do this sort of
thing in Europe and now they're trying
to do it here" The youthful protest was
not original; instead, it merely copied
an adult performance, somewhat foolish
and futile.
For the dangerous aspect of mimicry
in conduct, however, the instance of the
sixteen-year-old Nebraska farm lad who
threatened Shirley Temple may be cited.
Arrested for demanding a paltry 5000
from the little actress parents, he con-
fesSed: II sent the letter on an impulse
after seeing motion picture" Possibly
the censors might have kept him out
Of trouble by keeping the offending film
out Of circulation.
Yet arbitrary interference, coercion
and punishment are not enough. What
is wanted is the general cultivation of
a social code of ethics, a system of good
manners, to which people, old and young
alike, will wish to conform. That. of
course, would take time and require
effort but 1t is not infeasible. It's COM
mon name is education, and the world
could use lot of it.
