Holing Up

It has often been observed that men and bears are a good deal alike. Arthur E. Gehrke, hotel keeper of Watertown, Wis, carries the analogy farther than usual. A few days ago he holed up for the winter, according to his custom, in an upstairs room. He will not appear again till spring,
 His procedure is not really quite so simple as that of the bears and other hibernating animals. He has his meals brought to him, whereas the bears stop eating altogether. Then as the weather warns up in the spring, they crawl out of their holes and start looking for 8 mess of greens.
 Men might learn the trick of living on their own fat during long, cold slum- Der, if they persevered, say for 100000 years. but with the present tendency to air-conditioning, and increasing adap- tation to summer temperatures the year around, the chances are against it.

Workers and the International Ladies Garment Workers, whose figures do not lie, report cone fidentially that clothing produce ton is way down during this, the usual peak production season.
 FUR INDUSTRY - is in the saane category.
 RETAIL SALES - are excel. lent. September was better than expected in oil consumers goods. However, retail sales always feel Q slump two or three months af- ter the heavy industries. Thus shoes and clothing still are selling aS well as ever, but the retailer Is using up his stocks, Is not buys ing from the factory.
 This is the picture which has
 been trlckllng in to tho financial s0othsayers In Wall Street long
 before 1t reached the country
 through which Roosevelt
 travelled, causing them to dump
 stocks by the bucket-load.
 Nevertheless the picture is not aS black as appears from the above. Tho more optimistic face tors, together with . diagnosis of the causes of the market slump, will follow In this column in the near future.

The football season has gotten off to a good start. The predictions are that 1t will be the biggest season for football in years. Football has been acknowledged, we believe, as the ranking outdoor sport in this country. What cricket is to the English, football Is to the American. Children who have just mastered the art of putting sentences together, can give you the low-down on the game. It's all rretty exciting and nice from raccoons to right centers.

When the Artists Headed for Paris
 By BRUCE CAPTION

Back in tho fabulous '20s, Aineri. ca's younger intellectualS seemed to have art oil mixed Up with c trip to Paris, Whether one wanted to Do c poet, c novelist, c painter, or c sculptor, ono had to begin by visiting Paris.
 So c great many Americans went to Paris in those days-a few to do some real work, the majority to have c good time. And Jimmie Charters, MontparnasSe's most fa- nous bartender, SOW practically oil Of them. ..0.0,.
 He tells about them now, with the aid of dhostwriter Merrill Cody, in c pleasant book called "This Must Be the Place" Gee Furman: e3). Here we get c bartender'g eye-view of the American invasion, and c strange and educational sight 1t Is.
 A few real geniuSes passed ua- der Charters gaze-ErneBt Heming- way, for one, who used to take the barman to prize fights; for another, Ford Maddox Ford, who took Arneri- cail prohibition hooch back to show the PariSians what strong likker was really like. There were others, too, and you get some interesting giimpseg ct them in this book. But most Of them were pogeurS or play- boys.
 Painters and photographers, says Charters, are the heaviest drinkers. Ordinary bar-roofn hangerS-on come second in capacity, with Journalists ranking third. Sculptorg, for some reason, invariably get very depressed when drinking. Painters get noisy.
 All in all, "rhis Must Be the Place" is . gay and diverting book.

There seems bit of wisdom in short inconspicuous letter appearing the other day in the New York Times. The writer, an Australian, remarks that the custom in Victoria in his own country Is to have the holiday the Monday following the actual anniversary or occasion to be cele- brated. Christmas and Easter or such days are, of course, not included. It is not too bad an idea, and provides the long weekend that we all like.

NEW YORK. May 17.-Some Of the
country's economists and industrialists
took a look today at prediction an
other depression may be just around
the corner and said something can be
done about it.
In survey of opinion on a pre-
diction Of Gen. Charles G. Dawes
that business recession is due in
1889, many agreed with him. Others
did not. Those who did advanced a
variety Of reasons as to how it might
be prevented. Generally they said:
Cut national and local expenses and
balance the budget;
Revive building;
Rehabilitate factory equipment;
Arrive at the proper value of the
dollar in terms of commodity prices
and keep the value permanently"
In other words, have a managed
dollar:
Maintain freedom of individual
enterprise"
Create more wealth;
Revalue the dollar and increase
interest rates.

with which pacts have been signed
increased 80 per cent, against 19 per
