Walt Disney at the Metropolitan

 In the art circles of the land, the breathless word is being passed about that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has acquired number of Walt Disney's water colors used the original sketches for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." They will be hung under the with the greatest works of the greatest of painting and the Metropolitan isn't blush ing about it. either T think, says Curator Harry B. Wehle he (Disney great historical figure in the development of American art" It won't be long now before treatises will be written about MT Dis ney the father of Donald Duck will be soon dvid- ed into Early, Middle and Late periods.
 This should be lesson to workers in all the crea- tive arts The young fellow entering upon creative all often spends his days and nights study ing Addison the elusive color patterns of Cezanne the plunging rhythms of Rodin. Then he does his work, according to the best standards known to him-only to find that fame goes to Hemingway who writes novels of the side of his mouth to an Epstein to MT. Disney. The hardest lesson to learn is that rules are something you deduce from a work of art not something you use to make work of art
 We predict that entire schools of artists Will now derive from MT. Disney They will work hard Tor generations, to be displaced by some youngster yet unborn who will strike out fresh road for hmself maybe in a newspaper office, an oilcloth works, or wall paper factory.

 Money is the answer, said the only of whom the question asked, and most of the girls agreed with him. True couple of them also cast an asper sion two at the hypothetical young mans earlier occupation; "a male school teacher leads a prosaic

FIRST IN THE AIR

Anything which increases 200-fold in ten years IS really booming That's what Alaskas aviation indus try has done and is doing
 In 1929 the eight planes in service in the Territory flew PIP 999 passenger miles; in 1888 Alaskas 155 commercial planes flew 5,634,461 miles The latter figure represents distance equal to 200 times around the earth.
 A grand piano might weigh about 1000 pounds Try to picture 3758 grand pianos flying through the air That's the amount of freight carried by arpaneS in Alaska last year 3758495 pounds
 Number of passengers carried increased from 33591 in 1929 to 2829258 last year.
 This growth in of the airplane in Alaska has been steady one and is made startling merely because 1929 was off year or 1888 an on year.

German Foreign Trade
lCincinnati Ennnirer)


 Complete figures for 1888 reveal startling picture of the decline in Germanys foreign trade. For the first time since 1884 the Reich imported more goods than it exported. This import surplus is sometimes called "unfavorable balance of trade,' and in Ger manys it is unfavorable It reflects inability to sell enough goods abroad to cover the absolute minimum of imports of raw materials required for current needs
 In part the bad showing of the Reich in 1888 is due to incorporation of Austria in March and Sude tenland in October Both these areas, while poten- tally valuable to Germany, liabilities from the standpoint of foreign trade They alone account for more than half the import surplus exports for Greater Germany. Yet on the basis of 1888 fig for the smaller Germany of year ago, foreign trade shows the unsatisfactory trend.
 Considered in fair perspective, the statistics not flatterng commentary the barter policy which is at the heart of Nazi Germanys foreign economic relations Prices of exports increased slightly so it follows that the percent reduction value of exports really means much greater decline in the volume of goods sold abroad.
 Barter agreements Germany has used them are very effective against weaker countries and they have some utility for mplementing political policy. But permanent basis for foreign trade they are open to many serious objections The 1888 record of German trade bears out these objections.

 Astrologers read this as an unim- portant day in planetary direction. There is a warning portent for ships on the high seas, as severe storms are foretold.
 The configuration is favorable to conferences and the slow formula tion of important plans. Statesmen are well directed
 Surprising developments in inter national diplomacy are prognosti- cated. The United States will as sume a firm and successful leader ship. Washington is ultimately to secure the approval of the people who will forget partisan feuds, the seers prophecy
 There is an aspect stimulating to girl students who are preparing for social service Women are subject to a guidance of the stars that is most fortunate.
 Dances and other social events are unded a fortunate configura- ton for romance and new friend ships. Stress should be placed upon association in which men and wo- men assume civic responsibilities.
 Womens clubs are subject to planetary influences of great sig nificance Through national or ganization members are to give aid to the nation in time of need, as trologers prophecy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advancement and good fortune. Care of relatives will prove costly to certain families. Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and self respecting. They are on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces and may par take of the best qualities belonging to subjects of both signs.

Girl, IS, Loses Pearls
Mother Valued at $1,000

Fifteen-year-old Patricia Baker
was the fearful victim today of a
major tragedy of youth.
Patricia had long admired a string
OF pearls owned by her mother, Mrs.
Charles Adams Baker. Last night
her mother allowed Patricia to wear
the jewels-90 graduating pearls
valued at 81 ooo-to a party.
The girl remembers that she had
the necklace on as she left the party
at 1923 Biltmore street NV. to re-
turn to her home at 291l Olive ave-
nue. NV. But when she got home
the necklace was missing.
In a panic, she returned to the
Blltmore street address and with
her friends searched through the
leaves that covered the ground out
side the house They could find no
trace OF the pearls and then asked
police to aid.
Mrs. Baker said she feared that
the pearls would be swept up with
the leaves and burned. Patricia is
the daughter of Comdr. Charles
Adams Baker, u S. N, and was
scheduled to receive the necklace
as Christians present from her
parents.
