Kaeh note, each trill, each run was u tribute to the artist and euch song sung was tnitig flawlessly wit li no ap parent effort or straining for ef fect tin the part of the singer. Miss Curacy's first g'up con tained "Ciiro Nome" by Verdi, "MondnuehP' by Schumaii and "Cure Selve" by Handel. The lirst displayed the singer's ability, per haps to a better advantage, than any of the oilier selections. The spirit ualle and dramatic quality in M iss 'arney'H voice as she sung this selection from Yerdi't ''Kigo letto" was I ruly remai liable. A peculiar, slow vobrato In this se lection served to display the sing er's mastery of vocal technic, Kor an encore to her first gi'onp Miss Carney sang "The Kobin'a Song" by Howard White. Her sec ond and last suit's, of sons con tained m. led tons In a somewhat lighter vein than her first." In this group were "Wayfarer's Night Song," M trttn, "Sage's Itoad Song."

Miss Carney was encored twice at the conclusion of t his group and In response lo the Insistent clapping sang two numbers as a i concession to popular fancy. The j first of these wtus Irving Itcrlin's current popular song success. "All Alone" which Is at present being played in music halls (lie country over. The artist lifted this song to the heights of grand opera. Indeed, she made it a elussle. "Old Pat." an other song written in the popular vein by Van A Is t tie concluded Miss Carney's selections. For her part Miss Nolz contrib uted tin measurably to the evening's entertainment by her aecompani mcnts at the piano, l-'or solos she played "Ilh-ipsodie" by lirahuis, "Klude" by Svriublne and "Wiiitu" by Pried man and hh an encore I 'ercey CJraingers' "Country Gar dens." While Miss Notz solos were not primarily selected t o display her technique they showed her as an artist of great ability. Her tonal cont rol and pedal work were exceptional.

' , It was then pointed out to Mr, Habson that altho the above fact ors apply to (he stock market, situation, they do not explain the slackness in general trade. To this point Mr, Habsoii replied a- follows: "It should be remembered that Hie American people : live in the Tempera te one ami consequently are subject to two modes of living. winter and summer. Moreover, the difference in temperature makes a great, difference in Hi' purchases of these people, ranging from fur coats to thin cotton drcsit ea. Hence the climate is a tie metidous factor in - retail trade. Climate moreover Is the great factor in determining: -the- crops and hence t he purchasing- power i of the people; as well as a facto" in determining (he purchasing needs of people. Now everyone knows What the -weather has been Hits spring and winter. In tuoni. parts of the country it has been exceedingly abnormal and has up set ail calculations. Ju other words, the weather since Christinas hsa been detrimental to business. Of course similar conditions may continue thru the balance of Hi ar, but tiio law of averages sug gests a change. li must not be business went her would improve retail trade as much as this ab normal business weather has re tarded It. "Of course the textile situation is very bad while the shoe and leather Industries are not doing well. Manufacturing capacity. In many lines is greater than ou" power to absorb. Considering the facts that most plants make their money on the last "ft percent of capacity, it Is hot surprising that profits are very small when so many plants are operating only percent capacity. On the other hand, busiie'ra men need not le- listurbed because mannfaetureis, jobbers and merchants are Inlying hand to mouth. This is nut due to lack of funds or lack of con fidence; but rather to the great improvement in the t ransporlalion systems of t he country. Goods re orginally bought in large quant it ies because merchants re ceived their goods by freight only about four times a year. Tills situation has. gradually changed, in that now fast freights are coming t hru daily. The Improvement in railroad transportation, the intro duction of auto truck delivery and other factors now mako it un necessary for manufacturers ana merchants to carry targe stocks.
