BUSINESS STILL IMPROVING. Business is "looking up." Federal Reserve Bank surveys and financial agency reports say so. Better prices for their products sends the farmers into the market for supplies and equipment. As the result there is more and more work for the unemployed who in turn are better able to buy. Prediction is made that business and industry will reach normal conditions by early fall. There are yet some drawbacks that must be overcome. The miners are still on strike and the railroaders threaten to strike. Exchange rates continue against this country and cheaper foreign labor handicaps successful compeition. Adjustment of international obligations has just begun and may be delayed by European complications. But all these can and will be overcome in time, provided equitable bases for settlement are found and accepted. The one great lesson to be learned is that extraordinary conditions of whatever character cannot continue. Values must return to something like proper levels. As they return activity will increase. Because they are returning there are prospects of better business.

These are situations that render life complex; but the book on etiquette simplifies them to the point of gleeful laughter at our former perplexities. Having spent your life in the outskirts of civilization you may feel that you lack poise and polish; but the book on etiquette for the mere reading of a half page will give you the poise of a dancing-master. You may feel self-conscious, your speech may become hesitating and your manners may see to you atrocious in a group of debutantes. With the help of a couple of chapters on etiquette these difficulties can be removed by a procss more simple than washing on's hands. Perhaps you feel that you are wasting your young life with people of little account. "The book of etiquette," itp author tells us, "will admit you to the finest circle of society." Every chapter in this book is a rung on the ladder to social success. We may discount somewhat the author's enthusiastic recommendation of his own book to the effect that it "is interesting as a story yet while you read you will be acquiring the knowledge that will serve as an armor1 against embarrassment and humiliation." But even for those who do not care to risk life and limb on the ladder of social success a book like this offers something. Any book that will tell us how to "address a waiter," and how to eat corn on the cob in a public place, is worth looking into.

: HOW TO EAT CORN ON THE COB. How few people realize the benefits to be gained from a book on etiquette! Sage and fool alike may profit by it, for who is there so wise or so foolish as not to be sorely perplexed by life's tangled skein of complexities? What, for instance, is the correct way to eat corn on the cob in a public dining-room? And what does one do with the pit of the prune after one has disengaged it from its luscious exterior? Should a lady in a public dining-room who has dropped her fork on the floor pick it up herself, or should she let her male companion do it, or should she ask the waiter or perhaps the head-waiter to do it?

EINSTEIN IN "MOVIES." Advocates of the educational film in the place of those showing the love trials of the curly-headed flapper or the vapid variations of the vamp, will be pleased to learn of the new film made in Germany which will soon be shown in America and in which the Einstein theory, now a hidden secret to the public, will be revealed through motion pictures. "Fhe public is not to be rushed all unprepared into the mysteries of the Einstein theory, but is to be -gradually initiated by being first shown simple examples of relativity such as have been observed long before the day of Mr. Einstein. These examples are then shown as applid to light, and after this knowledge has been absorbed, the motion picture fan is given the Einstein theory in a nut-shell that it, by means of pictures of a slowly-moving car crossing a bridge, this being the means taken by Mr. Einsetin to explain his theory on several occasions. While no objections can be made to the film on the ground of lack of educational value, advocates of the educational film may perhaps consider it rather strong meat with which to begin the change to a more wholesome diet from the mushy dishes mixed with sweet pickles to which the public has been accustomed.

SEVERAL HUNDRED thousand railway workers may join the striking miners, only to discover to their sorrow that there is not enough fishing to go around.

BABE RUTH AT THE BAT. (With acknowledgments to Ernest Lawrence Taylor.) The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Yankville team that day. The score stood 4 to 2 with but one Jnniig more to play. And so when Mensel died at first and Miller did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game. The home folk were all keen to quit the losing fight. The rest Clung: to the hope that springs eternal in the human breast. They thought if only Babe Ruth could get in a whack, at that. They'd put up even money now with Babe Ruth at the bat. Upon that stricken multitude grim apathy held sway And then they saw the mighty Ruth advancing to the fray. There was ease in Babe Ruth's manner as he stepped up to his place. There was pride in Babe Ruth's bearing and a set look on his face. And when, responding to the cheers, he deftly doffed his hat, to stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Babe Ruth at the bat. A. mighty foe against him on that sodden Polo ground. Adoiishty pitcher facing him, the best that could be found. ' rhe foremen, they were splendid and their fielding was immense. But Babe Ruth thought he'd pound the pill across the left field fence. All fandom's eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt. All fandom's hands applauded as he rubbed them on his shirt, I And while the wily pitcher ground the ball into his hip, 1 Penance gleamed in Babe Ruth's eye, a sneer curled Babe Ruth's lip. ' . -i.ose y tne Bturcy batsman, there came a cunning irv. 'That's not my style," said Babe Ruth. "Strike one? Gee, what nerve." The fans looked on In terror. Once more the spheroid flew. That was not Babe's tvtyle, either. The umpire called "Strike tub." Then Babe Ruth's face grew cold and stern. They saw his muscles strain. They knew that Babe Ruth wouldn't let that ball go by again. The sneer was gone from Babe Ruth's lips, his teeth were clenched in hate. He struck, with cruel violence, his bat upon the plate.

Oh. somewhere In this world, perhaps, the sun Is shining bright. Ball players keep their tempers and do not put up a fight. And somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Yankville now FOR BABE RUTH HAS STRUCK OUT. m m
