THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, TREND IN BUSINESS IS UPWARD Seattle Back to Normalcy, Say Experts; Clear Sailing, Now What, ho—Beattlites! We're near ly back to normal, and we don't realize the blessing! This ts the opinion of men who ought to know—Wm. H. Butt, local manager for R. C. Dun @ Co, and David K. Rich, ‘superintendent of Bradstreet's Seattle office. “We've spent so much time,” sald Mr. Butt yesterday, “having thing abnormal, that we can't see norma! we get it. And we're a great better off out here in the West ‘and in Seattle than we think we are.

It's readjustment. “It ts true” he said, “that the Mumber of failures in Seattle have Increased yearly since the close of the war. But why?

And from what am told, we can’t talk about ‘condl- tm Seattle at all.

Much of the book Is based on letters Theodore wrote to his si» ter and on her own diary cee When the boy who was to become president wae 11, his father turned one of the upper rooms of his New York home Mt an outdoor gymnas. fum, and calling Theodore to him, said: “You have the mind, but not the body, and without the help of the body, the mind will not go as far as it should, You must make your) | body, It will be hard drudgery, but I know you will do tt.” | The boy threw back his head and| with a flash of the white teeth that) | later became famous, answered: “1 | WILL make my body.” He became the exponent of the strenuous life. eee While the Roosevelt children were | spending a year in Germany, Elliot, |@ brother of Theodore, wrote to an }uncle, shortly after the boys had | Deen presented with boxing gloves: “Last night, © a round with Teedie, he got a bloody nose and I got a bloody mouth.

He landed at § o'clock. | Thinking ft too early to call, he| lay down on the beach and promptly | fell auleep. Me awoke to find that his boat had drifted away. Undress ing, he swam out and brought tt back, piled his clothes into it, and| crawled under a dock to resume his| nap. To his horror, upon awakening the second time, he found that boat, clothes and all, had vanished, while on the wooden planks above he heard the ‘voice of his girl friend and a companion. He lay shivering, though not from the cold, until the gtris tired of ing and returned home. Then warm out @ second time—recov- ered his clothes and boat and hurried pesca naibretanae isnt atta even more numerous than here. Con- sequently, when the so-called ‘slump’ came, the change was more notice able. They had further to fall, so felt it harder. And as a result, it is taking them longer to get back on their feet.” According to David K. Rich, of the Bradstreet company, Seattle has “turned the corner,” and without Question ts on the “upward turn.” “Lumber, salmon, fruit and crops form the backbone of Seattle's bust mess fabric,” said Mr. Rich today, “and from all Indications, the future means improvement along all four Mines. “The lumber {industry shows !m- Provement, both tn the demand and im the boost of prices, Salmon ts More active at better prices, Re farding the fruit crop, all indications point to the largest in history. The frult alone will be worth consider. ably in excess of $50,000,000. On a: count of the shortage of crops in the Middle West and East, Seattle will find @ ready market, The wheat crop, too, is expected to total $50,- 000,000 in value. uch conditions as these make substantial business enterprises. “And regarding the fallures of the last three years,” he added, confirm. ing the statements of Mr. Butt, “the Greater per cent of them are due t: the frailly constructed ‘war bable: which didn't have time to get a foot- hoid before the ‘slump.’ “Seattle has now turned the cor. ner of normal conditions and ts on heattle Star Circalation ing September, 1921, the average ily net paid circulation of the Star was 70,5 ie Star hag filed with the U. 8. owing statement: TEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, ‘C, REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGF iT The Seattle Star, published daily except Sunday, at Seatt’ October 1, 1921 te of Washington, County of Ki t m: Marshal a ays 70 Copies Government Postal Department the MANAGEMENT, iS OF AL CICULATION, UST 24 2 nm, as. lic in and for the state and county eforesald, 1, who, having been duly sworn ac that h that the following | re own in the abov: bodied in section 443, Postal La . to-wit anagement (and if id publication for the caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, and Regulations, printed on the re and addresses of the publisher, editor, managing a Postoffics Address— Wash. corporation, give its name and the names and addresses of, stock): Roy Sanders .

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.—-Half a million American women, affiliat ed with the W. C. T. U., are about to launch an intensive campaign for sex instruction in the public schools of the nation, They expect to reach every boy and girl of school age, to see that each student ts properly instructed in the fundamentals of reproductive physiology and sex hygiene. Parents have failed to do this, lead. era declare, with tragic results mir rored in many major social problems of the day. After a generation of scattered ef- fort against the inability or unwill- ingness of teachers and parents to instruct growing children in vital facts, this organization of women has reached the point where they feel they can and must concen- trate and openly fight the menace of ignorance or half-knowlege and its companying evils. these | ATTLE STAR Sister Reveals New Sidelights on Theodore Roosevelt’s Life ernor of New York, « letter arrived at his home with no name and no ad dress, On the envelope was simply « drawing of a large set of teeth, The letter said “Pleano let Jack Smith, 211 W.| 139th at, know whether thin letter | reaches its destination.
