Business Looks Up
The continued improvement
in business and employment
conditions which has been in
evidence during recent months
has begun to convince even the
most pessimistic that we are
really on the road to national
economic recovery.
Many factors are contribut
ing to this most desirable re
sult ,and it cannot be doubted
that the bold legislative pro
gram enacted by Congress at
the request of President Roose
velt is the most important of
these factors. This can be
freely said without the slight
est political partisanship, be
cause leaders of both parties
have had a part in passing this
legislation.
It is believed by many that
among the measures recently
passed by Congress and various
state legislatures the laws le
galizing the sale of 3.2 per
cent beer have been especailly
beneficial in affording wide
spread unemployment relief,
while at the same time contrib
uting to the cause of real tem
perence through curtailing the
consumption of bootleg liquor.
Many industries, including
the manufacture of brewery
equipment, bottles, barrels and
boxes, ice machinery and re
frigeration facilities, and other
supplies have given a new mar
ket far products of the farm,
forest and factory, as well as
employment to many men.
Taxes paid to the Federal,
state and local governments
during the short time in which
the sale of beer has been per
mitted have exceeded all ex
pectations.
President Roosevelt himself
is said to believe legalization of
beer to be an important factor
in his recovery program, and to
an unprejudiced observer it
seems to be working out that
way.

“Pro.” v# Amateur
Much ado has been made of
late respecting the status of
various noted figures in the
world of sport—whether they
should be classified as profess
ionals or amateurs. A notable
case was that of William A.
Tilden, the tennis star, who
was barred from amateur cir
cles because he wrote articles
about the game in which he is
an expert.
Somehow we have been un
able to draw lines so 11 ie.
Still, maybe we don’t under
stand the matter. Certainly
we don’t understand why even
an amateur may not write
about his game. If he is not
permitted to write aboui it
why not forbid him to talk
abut it?
And now another scandal
has come to light. A Chicago
high school checker player has
been caught redhanded play
ing in a tournament for money.
Five dollars was the prize, »i d
that makes him a professional:
What is sport coming to any
way?
Just for Fun

To our way of thinking a de
pression is a period when peo
ple do without things their par
ents never had.
Uncle Sam will again tall:
ver the war debts, and our
^uess is that the results will
entirely refute the old idea
that talk is cheap.
Advice to the lovelorn: Re
member that the man who
oved and lost didn’t get his
presents back.
Old Lady: “Are you content
.'o spend your life walking
about the country begging?”
Tramp: “No, lady, many’s
the time I’ve wished I had a
car.”
“If it’s a fight it is too little: |
if it is a game it is too much,”
was tne interesting comment ot
a Chinese diplomat after he
had witnessed a game of Amer
! ican football.
If it’s any comfort to ’em,
science assures hay fever suf
ferers that the malady only
affects people of high in
telligence.
And now that the jobs are
being handed out so slowly,
many an office seeker is com
mencing to think he is that
tamed Forgotten Man.
A bishop declares that mod
ern girls are not indiscreet.
Well, anyway not in the pres
jence of a bishop.
Believe it or not, we heard of
one the other day who was so
dumb she thought racketeers
were tennis players.
According to a life insurance
bulletin, the economic value of
a boy of 18 is $28,654, but we
know of no one in the market
for any at that price.
