Babson Park, Mass, Sept. 9-This
is a big week. 1t marks a definite
turning point. Now begins the Bush
ness New Year. In view of the streng-
tn which business is developing, we
ought to ring bells, blow horns, and
put on a real New Years celebration
Just compare the situation today
with conditions year ago. Last Sep
TENDER although few realized it at
the time business was pushing off
on sharp toboggen ride. Today we
are fortunate in facing exactly the
opposite situation. Business is in a
powerful elevator sweeping upward
to higher levels. My prediction is that
the 1888 trend on it's way up will pass
the 1887 level on it's way down some
time before Thanksgiving.
Not Every One BulIish.
Yet I find that my optimism is not
shared by every one. Many people

Washington, Sept. 9.-The bad lam
guage employed in connection with
the current political campaigns is re-
markable not alone for its badness
but because it is SO personal.
In particularly hard-fought cam

highly Objectionable interests-in a
general way they have denounced
their various opposition parties as
perfectly awful.
But it hasn't been customary for a
candidate 20 call his opponent by

tor" a "betrayer"-as a crook, in eff
feet.

A number of the agencies reported
today that business was better than
a year ago with the peak not ex-
pected to be reached until tomorrow
and Friday. The airlines and rail-
roads particularly noted heavier
schedules the first of the week and

Eastern Air Lines, with four regu-

D.C.-BaItimore Road
Right Of Way Will
Provide 3O-MiIe
Air Line Route
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 21.-The State
Roads Commission voted today to
purchase 40 miles of right OF way
Of the old Washington, Baltimore &
Annapolis Railroad at a contract
price Of approximately 100000.
The right Of way, already graded,
will provide a 30-mile "air line"
highway between the Baltimore and
Washington City lines, with only
one curve along the entire route.
Nathan L. Smith, commission
chief engineer. said work had al
ready begun on a section of route
near Odenton pending final approval
of the negotiations. Included in the
sale was about 10 miles Of railroad
right of way between Annapolis
Junction, near Odenton, and Anna
polls.
Mr.. Smith said the first stretch
OF road to be built would be an
eight-mile section between the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Defense
Highway near Buena Vista in Prince
Georges County. The Washington
end Of the road will intersect at
Eastern avenue in Seat Pleasant.
Road commission officials intimat-
ed that the air line road was "an
important factor" In efforts to OBJ
tain Federal aid in construction Of
bridge across Baltimore Harbor.
Negotiations for such a bridge are
still under way, J. Glenn Beall, COM
mission chairman asserted, despite
recent refusal Of the Public Works
Administration to advance further
funds to Maryland for bridge con-
struction.
Motorists would be able to use
the new stretch to a point near
Buena Vista, and then turn east
into the Defense highway, 1t was
pointed out.
When the new road Is completed
1t will provide the shortest high
way between Baltimore and WASH
ington. Later the section of the rail-
road right Of way from Odenton
to Annapolis will be used for the
relocation Of . part Of the Cen
erals highway.
