Sonsltferlhg Far-Reaching Readjuffc manta of Pact Year, ComiwerciaJ.,,, Situation Is Reassuring. |§ig New York, Dec. 28.—An abrupt fall temperature in the East and else where has provided about the only important development, witli an Im mediate bearing 011 the business situa tion. Distribution of heavyweight goods, which has been lagging In difficult quarters, derived some stimu lus from the colder weather, and a further reduction of merchandise stocks resulted. .Despite the restric tive Influences present, holiday trade has exceeded expectations In not a few instances, and the fact that the general turnover has not been of the same magnitude as In some other years, nor as profitable, Is not a reason for discouragement. With the pur chasing power appreciably curtailed and economy being widely practiced, a- contraction In retail demands was clearly foreshadowed, and dealers have been operating with recognition of tlie diminished public consuming capacity. The effect of this condition naturally appears in wholesale and and manufacturing circles. While year end phases are not really repre sentative of the status of business, yet the existing caution in primary channels merely marks a' continuance of a policy which has been long evi dent, and nothing suggests any early change in the attitude of important Interests. Hesitation is making ex tensive future commitments largely reflects the prevailing uncertainties but progress along conservative and wholesome lines Is more to be de sired than expansion which is based on speculative anticipations. Con sidering the far-reaching readjust ments of the last year and a half, the commercial situation is reassuring, and further Improvement in tho new year may CQQcelvably .be witnessed.

We*t«m N»w»p»p»r Unloa.) Life bad been a disappointment to David, through no fault of liis own, and it was not until Helen was called from his side forever that David learned his marriage had been a dis appointment through lack of love. He honestly thought that love Alley his heart when he asked the girl to marry him, and not merely, the re spectful admiration that It waa. But the few years the two spent together (showed upon the young wife's part an absence of sympathy and understand ing which grew hard to bear. Helen had been satisfied with her hsuband's loyalty and concern for her welfare, and had left little Robin to his care. As years passed, the boy proved a disappointment, too. David, in his own great patience, wondered from what source his son inherited perverse ways. Helen had been gentle and passive Robin was alert and aggressive. David labored at the profession his parents had chosen tor him. The study of law had been far from his wish, and his lack of Interest in his work may have accounted for its poor return. Whenever David could he closed his village office and went out to work on the loved old farm he had managed to buy. through economies. His one hope now was to make of Robin the man he bad hoped to be, a man known In the world of men through achieve ment David sat long mourning over Rob in's last discouraging prank, the boy appearing to have been benefited by a recent talk of David's had promised better conduct. Across the countryside Robin's hos tility to school Instructors in general was well known. Various energetic maidens had given np In despair the fight with Robin as pupil other boys, they complained, following his mischievous lead. The last, a large and determined Miss Price, Invited by Robin, for a schoolward drive, was left stranded in^ls auto nleasant but Isolated spot, wlilie the boys, championed by Roblu, took holiday. When later he had returned Miss Price to her boarding place, the In dignant teacher resigned her position. David had not spared the rod after this procedure, and Robin, almost as big as his father, quietly submitted. Now, David volunteered to meet the new teacher that he np.ight Impress upon her the necessity'' of immediate knowledge concerning Robin's first mis demeanor, and his assurance of pun ishment for the offense. Poo# David's heart was heavy, but Robin's unconcerned whistle stilt sounded. When David saw the new teacher he was possessed of a desire to send ber back at once. Such a small creature this, to do bat tle with young ruffians,^ girl of trust ful eyes and radiant smile. Her name was Nora Dean. She told him she' had been left alone In the world and loved both teaching and boys and girls. "You are to tell me at once, remem ber," David said, uif Robin further of fends and I will see that be Is pun ished." Miss Nora softly quoted a line: "TIs better fac," she quoted, **to rule by love than fear."1 When for several evenings after the opening of the rural school Robin was detslned after closing hour, David, ap prehensive. sought in person, the cause. It was not a formidable picture that met his eye. Three cheerful culprits sat, writing at their desks variously improving sentences, which the little teacher read aloud. And as Nora read, she touched with gentle appeal the lesson to each offender. When David offered to drive her on her home ward way, it was to big Robin that she turned for assistance, In the clos ing of the schoolhouse. Somehow, thought of the little teacher haunted David strangely, her bright, persistent happiness seemed unaccountably to torn his own shad ows to naught. Then one day Fob in came stumbllng ly to rest his curly head boyishly against his father's knee. "She's—going," wailed Robin, "the school men sny Nora can't stay be cause—of our discipline. Our stand ing's good, they say, but they can't go the discipline. It's my fault," con fessed Robin, "it's me." That night David read a blotted scrawl ready for mailing. "School Board, Dear Sir," the hu miliated Itobin had written, "if you'll only let our teacher stay I will never lo another discipline thing." And that marked Robin's turning, In the home where Nora now reigns. A loved and loving mistress, her old rule still holds good. Tis better far," she tells Robin, and Dnvid, her husband, "to rule by love, than fear." if- Look at the Funny Side. To be able to see th« funny side of life drives off many troubles.
