ERY woman prides herself on the appearance of her home, but there s often overlooked. And that’s the kitchen, the place How much more attractive it would be if an Oriole Porcelain Enameled Gas Range of snowy whiteness replaced the present cooking appliance! But besides being a thing of beauty and sanitation, the Oriole is a gas range ol satistying that rvice. every housewife will appreciate. It has many exclusive and patented features For instance—the boiler. This may be easily raised or-lowered by a knob on the outside of the range. No more burned steaks or chops, no blis- ters from splashing fat. Better broiling with less effort. Only the Oriole has this conven- ience. Then there’s the “Keepclean” top. A porce- lain enameled plate that fits over the burners. Another feature is the automatic lighter.

And who couldn’t write poetry about such aspring and such a water! Sparkling, re- freshing, clear-as-a-diamond Paradise— why, there’s poetry in the verywater itself. Today, after almost a hundred yearr, the merits of Paradise Water have extended far beyond the confines of old Bowdoin College—far beyond the haunts of Mc- Cleilan, and Longfellow, and Hawthorre. Today, Paradise is establishing itself everywhere as the purest water on record, and thousands drink it regularly for its health-building qualities. You instinctively row that Paradise is an ‘extraordinary water when you pour your- self a glass. No other water could be so wonderfully clear—could elicit such aud- le tribute to its delightful taste. Try Paradise, and you will instantly realize why this water represents the very last word in refinement, delicacy and luxury. Quart, pint and half-pint bottles—all full- size. Nawral or Carbonated.

LAUFMAN, Special Dispatch 1o The s ar PITTSBURGH, April 12—"Owing to current increases. our bank depos- its are larger in volume and number than at any time in our history, the recent growih being especially sir ing.” This statement was made an officer of one of Pitish largest savings banks, who expre surprise over the growth in sav when industrial depression is in dence. Responses to questionnaires sent out | by R. 1 Seaman. manager of the trade and industrial bureau of the chamber of commerce. show that many of the men interviewed believe | wage reductions are essential return to normal business. returns make specific referenc this need. Many of the writers are openly pessimistic, but a majority. | while admitting that business i dull, profess to see a silver lining to the cloud. Twenty per cent revision in taxes is Wage Revision Slow. Other suggestions are diversified The government should pay its debts to railroads, foreign trade reiations | must be brought back fo normal and | Deace must be declared, are among them. Very little progres ing the past week i a drastic was made dur- efforts to revise | Building is almost at a standstill. Building trades are solidly organized through the American Fed- eration of Labor. The Iron City Trades Council is a local organization of such unions. Until the present crisis part of the unions were not affiliated with the council. To oppose wage reductions and present a solid front, all building trades have united through the coun- cil. The lack of stabilitv in the steel market is partly responsible for the depression in the industry, and un- certainty as to wage scales of the im- mediate future in building and other lines is another.

April 12.—Frederic Curtiss, chairman and federal reserve agent of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, takes a conservatively opti- mistic ‘view of the business situation in New England. The local federal reserve bank has a very complete statistical department and unsur- passed facilities for - gathering de- tailed information. It is in close and confidential touch with the leading manufacturers and retailers in this section. Mr. Curtiss' feeling on the local situation, therefofe, may be taken 28 worthy of serious considera- tion. Lack of Uniformity. The general impression among bankers here is that the worst has passed. It is also the consensus of opinion that the recovery will be somewhat slow and spotty. Today the chief characteristic of the New England business situation is its lack of uniformity. The great- est actlvity is in lines which one might logically expect to be the dull- est after a serious business setback. In a broad way, the luxury industries are doing better than those dealing in essentials. Retail Aute Trade Good. The retail automobile trade is very good, at least so far as the popular, middle-priced cars are concerned. Two New England distributors of cars selling between $1.500 and $2,000 ay that their sales are running ahead of a year ago. The New England sales agency of a car selling between $1,000 and $1.500 sold more cars in the first week in April than in the whole month of March. and March was a lot better than the several previous months. All Ordera It Can Handle. The American Woolen Company has taken all the orders it can han- dle for fall delivery. Even officials of | the company have been surprised at the volume. Operations at the mills are being increased as rapidly as possible. The cotton manufacturing end of the textile trade is not so fortunate.

The feature of today's session of the local exchange was a spurt in Lans- fon from the 73 of yesterday to i1 and then to 75. Proxies were received s morning by sharcholders. for U annual meeting early in May. With the proxjes was a circular co taining two proposed amendments Lo the by-laws of the corporation. As a present, the board of directors meets on the first Tuesday in cach monti. It is proposed to make the meetinz date on Wednesday—a matter of n. | importance The second proposed amendmen: has caused some speculation among sharcholders as to just what is the purport. It simply permits the direc- tors “to declare a dividend to the stockholders of any such portion of the net profits of the company a- shall not be deemed by the board of directors necessary to be reserved as added working capital” at any meet- ing of the board of directors, instead of at any regular meeting of the board. The wording of the amendment has uggested to some broker that it is perhaps the intention of the directors phires being offered at $5,500, which is a claimed reduction from the stand- ard price of $9,075. ATLANTA, Ga., April 12.—Farmers, merchants and bankers from all sec- tions of Georgia are gathered here to- day to consider the application of the California plan to the marketing and handling of the cotton crop. Aaron Sapiro, author of the California plan, is here to explain in detail the method used in California in marketing fruit and truck. Eugene Meyer, jr., chair. man of the War Finance Corporation, | who is here, declared to visiting dele. gates that the cotton problem is neither southern, nor sectional, but na- tional, and is entitled to first consider- ation by the federal government>> He predicted that material relief was as- sured. PHILADELPHIA, April* 12.—Mem- bers of the Philadelphia Stock Ex- change will adopt New York city day- light saving hours April 25. Boston and Chicago have adopted daylight saving, but Ph.Ne clphia, as a_whole, has not. A dayuzht saving measure failed at Harrisburg and a substitute, providing for local option among the cities, has been smothered in commit- tee, much to the disappointment of Philadelphia bankers and merchants.
