Irene Castle, whose name Is being
mentioned in connection with q
forthcoming Broadway production,
flew to New York on Wednesday Tor
q radio engagement. looking very
smart In q new fall costume.
Miss Castle wears her clothes with
an air which makes 1t easy to un-
derstand why her name was given
to so many popular fashions at the
height Of her first dancing career.
Now that she Is returning to the
entertainment world, she will again
be an influence In the creation OF
new styles and In giving the FASH

The slim, graceful woman, there

at Newark airport had as much

porter as for the theatrical scouts.
What new fashion Is destined to
sweep the country because Of her

Scanning her ensemble carefully,
searching for hint Of what tomor-

was impressed most Of all with the
youth and grace and beauty Of her
feet. Slim they are and high arched
and very much alive. They danced

Gold Imports Lifted
By Huge Canadian
Consignment
Shipments Advance
To $14l, ,996, 1884 Mark
During Week
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A huge Canadian shipment
zoomed American gold import fig
ures up to pre-war levels last week.
Imports in the seven days ended
December totaled Sal, 1,996. 1884, of
which s115,176,653 came from Can
ada. The figure, almost twice the
total for the preceding week, was
more than 10 times as big as that
for some recent weeks.
Although officials declined to
guess the purpose of the Canadian
shipment, they indicated most Of
it was placed on deposit at the New
York Federal Reserve Bank, where
it would be handy for cash payment
on airplane purchases.
This suggestion came from the
fact that the amount of foreign
gold deposited under earmark at the
Federal Reserve Banks increased
S88. .807 1853 during the week, revers-
ing recent downward trend. The
boost raised earmarked gold above
the l,00O.000,00O figure again.
Names Of the countries owning the
earmarked metal was not disclosed,
however.
Other large gold imports during
the week included S9,039.800 from
the Netherlands, s4,998,511 from
Sweden, $2,O83,478 from England,
$5,870,763 from Japan and $2,0S6,-
978 from South Africa.
Silver imports slumped sharply
for the week to $580,546, of which
s406.55O came from Mexico and
$27 ,922 from Canada.
Export totals were $2,452 for gold
and $23.779 for silver.
! The Commerce Department also
issued summary of November fig
ures showing that gold imports
amounted to $167 800, ,703, compared
with $69, TAO, 1856 in October. Major
November gold shippers were the
Netherlands, Sweden, England. Can
ada, Mexico, India, Japan, Australia
and South Africa.
Earmarked gold deposited in the
American Federal Reserve banks de-
clined S90,873,000 during November
and amounted at the end Of the
month to 1862. 1913, 900.
November silver imports totaled
s4,183,0O6, compared with $7,267719
IN the preceding month. Canada and
Mexico were, as usual, the principal
silver shippers.
Metallic exports in November in
cluded $1O,275 of gold and $486.803

Ayres Is Optimistic
Over Prospects for
1910 Business
Guins in industrial
Output and National
Income Forecast
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 12-Col. Leon
ard p. Ayres is cheerful about 1910
business prospects.
Industrial production will be in
dexed around ITO, against about 105
this year. he said today, and ma
tional income will attain some II
billions against 1895 50 billions.
The Cleveland economist, who CAL
culates he has batted $50 in the II
years he has made such annual pre-
dictions, said "the war and the COM
ing political campaign make con-
f1dent forecasting impossible"
Nevertheless, he predicted:
Building contracts probably larger
than those of any previous recovery
year, and the largest since $780,
Merchandise imports lower than
'39. exports probably higher.
Department store sales higher
than 80 but lower than 81.
Railroad freight loadings prob
ably exceeding 1895, but by less
than 10 per cent.
Outputs of iron and steel prob
ably not varying by more than II
per cent from 1939's.
Automobile production likely
within 10 per cent of this years.
Price Initiation Unlikely.
Commodity price imitation i'm
probable.
New all-time high records likely
for petroleum refining, electric
power output, tobacco products, air
plane production.
Wage payments within per cent
of 1887, when they reached peak
levels since depressions bottom.
In 1940," Col. Ayres declared, I'VE
shall make rapid progress in our
economic education. We shall
choose President, not only over
our politics, but also over our eco
nomics.
UNLESS we receive large war Or
ders we shall know the result of our
second great experiment in pump
priming. BY a year from now we
shall know fairly well whether in
the future the flow of new funds
that is required to keep our economy
from stagnating is to come in the
years ahead from Government sub
sides or from private investments. .
Admits Errors.
COL Ayres, who has found that he
has been right on IL of an average
IA predictions made each Decem-
Der, frankly admits he has bad
years.
Most of them were early years OF
the big depression. In five years
out of II he found he was right in
everything.
Four other years, he missed one
prediction. In three years he had
only two misses. And there were
five years when he was wrong in
more than two predictions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The United
States Government went to the sup
port OF the faltering egg market
today with an expenditure of 5000,
which halted, momentarily at least,
the month long decline in egg prices.
For the $500 the Government pur-
chased 5000 dozens Of fresh flrsts,"
bidding the price up "a cent dozen
to 20 cents.
At the same time, by mere offer
to buy 144,000 standards" the Gov
ernment forced the quotation on
that classification up Y cent dozen
at 22l4 cents. The bid was only a
bid, however; there were no offers
to sell at that price.
The bidding and purchase was
made on the floor of the New York
Mercantile Exchange by DR.. John
Huttar Of the Grange League of
Farmers on behalf Of the Govern
ment. The eggs so purchased will
be used for home relief.
DR.. Huttar did not lndlcate What
extent of purchases might be made
by the Federal authority.

ports that the Government had re-
