Ice Skating Answers . .. By DIANE CUMMING! Author Of “Figure Skating As A Hody” How soon can you take up figure skat- ing? ! As soon as ; you have \'-f.f learned plain skating, so that you can skate quickly, easily, and in rhythm to music. You can learn good plain skating in one winter. If you begin figure skating befcre mastering plain skating, your performance will always lack a natural speed, grace, and. sense of music.

Rockefeller, Sr, a WPA army works to make the grounds a pub- 'lic park. Wheelbarrows move along the paths where Rockefeller liked to bi- cycle in the moonlight. Shovels and manpower grade the irolling acres. In 1940, the million | dollar tract of 253 acres will be open |to the public. When Rockefeller bought the site for $1,000 an acre in 1873, it was ru- ral property, located at least six miles east of Cleveland business and industry. Now it is a part of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights. Last year, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who often returned to the es- tate after the family moved from Cleveland, gave the site to the two cities in which it lies for park pur- poses, BARTER TRADE SLOWS DOWN IN LATIN AMERICA ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Henry Chalmers, veteran Commerce De- partment trade expert, says that Germany’s efforts to extend its trade by barter agreements were meeting with increasing difficulties, | particularly in Latin America. In a'review of last year's world trade, Chalmers noted that Ger- many's export sales have not in- creased in recent years so fast as those of the United States and Great Britain, He added: “Without minimizing the need for | close study and effort on these par- [ticular situations, the fact that, ac- cording to official trade records, the recovery in the value of total Ger- man exports to all countries from the depth of the depression has not been as great as that of the United States or the United Kingdom—and is still not as close to pre-depression | level as the export trade of both the other countries—suggests that on the whole only relatively moder- ate results have thus far attended these exceptional German methods” Chalmers said that even in such | Latin American countries as Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico, where German sales have increased | in recent years, the gains have been | made at the expense of countries | other than the United States. He added that Germany has made “no significant” gain in the important markets of Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba.” Germany'’s chief gains, he said, have been in Southeastern Europe | and these have been largely offset | by losses in Northern and Western Europe. Because df adverse economic con- | ditions, particularly the business | recession here, Chalmers said, the | world tended last year to put more barriers in the way of trade than were removed. SIS U R | Subterranean Channel with Humanity By GEORGE TUCKER = NEW YORK, Feb. 15, — We're somewhere in Manhattan, probably 30 feet underground, in a mi ized tube that has light and air . heat and advertisements and formed attendants and people ing Russian newspapers, peop, reading Italian newspapers, 5 reading Yiddish newspapers, reading German newspapers, ple reading all the big New York dailies, printed in English. Our tube is hurtling through the gloom of a subterranean channel and at irregular moments lttle jeweled cities flash past, cf garish in their amber lights, with numbers and nam Houston, Wall, Park — only, they aren't cities. They are the stations which lead to the streets above. Most of these cities our tube igs nores, for we are marked “Express!’ and sub-stations aren't considersd on this quest of time and space— time saved, that is, and distangs covered. o i Here is a big Pole thoughtfully devouring a sandwich. The chin of the man next to him has dropped to his chest, and he is snoring, Across the aisle a trim young wom- an is knitting a sweater. A musicigh in evening clothes, with his violin case between his knees, is talking with a cop who has a caged canary on his knees. What a.cop wnu.ld,n doing with a canary I am unable to guess. < U There are, to be exact, 44 péople in this tube, and two of them are standing at the end, very much i+ terested in each other. That is ewls dent to everyone. He has his hands clasped around her arm, as if ‘t0 steady her against the swaying of the tube. Suddenly he leans toward her and kisses her, very deliberately, on the lips. She kisses him back. Neither seems hurried or the all‘ltfi est bit embarrassed. That is one of the things '.h" has always astounded me about New York—the way people kiss. They kiss on the street, or in theatre ** lobbies, or at drugstore ewnlm.?‘ or standing in the middle of the sidewalks. And nobody ever seems embarrassed. Their big'moment is ended with & hang, however, as the tube ' into the largest city of all—a seething, many-peopled city—apd comes to an abrupt halt. The sud- denness of the stop throws them against the tube wall. They but no one else giggles. Evi e is bent on cramming through e | sliding doors, which have noiselesal and magically opened. Everyone i in a mad rush to get out of this tube and get on other tubes or stairways that lead once more the light. So you put your best shoulder forward—and somehow you get out of there and are swept along u human tide for perhaps 50 before you are spilled at the foot of a stirway. You take a deep breath, | and adjust your hat, and your coat, The price of cotton which in 1931 dropped to an average of 595 cents | a pound, the lowest in the last ten | years, averaged 8.65 cents a pound | in the United States in 1938, !
