An hour later the collectors of caaiojf clothing begin to Elizabeth street to tho old clothes' "exchange, a' block from tha Bowery in- the fringe of Chinatown. Within a dingy room, dealers alt along a wide bench.

The'- collectors stream in witn armfuls of worn garments, for which they have bargained dearly at apartment doors from Coney Is-land to the Bronx. This suit came from a Park avenue wardrobe, and is good enough for re- sale at- second hand store In Sev- onth avenue. A bargain ia struck with (ho collector, and the dealer tosses the suit into a locker behind him. This salt Is shabbier and of poorer inuLoilal, but it will bring 5 on thb Bowery, so It, too, changes hands. But this overcoat is too tattered for resale in New York.

Tho dealer gets it for a dollar. He will sell It In an i. porter of old clothes will market it eventually In India or Turkey. From dealer to dealer the old cloihes man goes uutil his arms are. empty md his pockets jingling.

Soma times, if he cannot get his price in-Blde. he goes out to the pavement and sells a garment to one of the Bowery floators who drift over each afternoon hunting bargalus. ELIZABETH STREET'3 MORGAN Once tho old clothes exchange was an informal open air mart on tho pavements of Elizabeth street. Max Doltchman took It Indoors. He rented six story building, fitted It with lockerB and benches, installed a restaurant, and offered space to dealers In second hand clothes.

The exchange became so popular that now he has two adjoining" buildings oi' four floors each. In all three ho has "Iradlnfr floors," renting seats on the benches at jti to $25 a month, depending upon-their proximity to the natural light of tho front windows. He gets more rent for the lockers, one of which, a commodious one, brings him 1135 a The upper floors of each building are Bublet to dealers who use them aa Borting rooms, and even the rest nc concessions earn money fo PROSPEROUS QUEEN rOA One woman, Ida Ijaky, known to her Intimates as "Hiker" aad to Jsay colleagues as "Ihe Queen," la among New York's 2,000 collectors at oM clothes.

"Five hundred eighty dollars I THE QLA8S-OWEN CLASH Philadelphia Ledger. Sixteen years ago, Robert Owen, of Oklahoma, waa chairman of the Senate Banking aad Currency Committee, and Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia, waa head of the House Committee on Banking and Cunoncy. They are knowu as the authors of the Federal Reserve Act, then called the Owon-Glass bill, passed in December, 1913.

Now, when the Federal Reserve System Is having difficulties In deal ing with the credit situation, they no longer see eye-to-eye. Senator Glass has attacked Charles B. Mitchell, president of tho New York National City liark, who offered $25,000,000 of the bank's (unds on hist Tuesday, af-lor the violent break In the market, to worried borrowers. The Virginian demanded that Mr. Mitchell should resign his directorship In the Now York Federal Reservo Unnk.

Fix-Senator OWon defends Mr. Mitchell. This eo-franier of the Reserv Act contends the banker was Justified, that ho a right to extend credit and that tho Reserve Board has no right to extend credit and that the Resorvc Board has no riht to ask his resignation. Thero the matter rests, while certain members of Congress nre considering now and drastic Federal Reserve legislation and whllo Mr. Mitchell Is being damned on ono sldo for his "defense'' and praised on the olh er for his "courage." London's County Hall, planned to be built for will cost al least according to latest estimates.

It seems a forced assumption to look for an angle of the prohibition enforcement controversy In such a matter as the S-4 tragedy; yet tho report of tho senate naval subcommittee which investigated tho disaster has this tp say among other things: "Tho testimony shows that the const guard at times operates its destroyers at night without lights. Owing to tho great speed of those ves-loIs nn appalling loss of life might oc- should one of them collide with a passenger ship. Tho subcommittee horefore recommends that this prac tice Is too great a risk to human life and should be immediately discontinued." TOO GREAT RISK Chairman Oddle (Nevadal Included this recommendation In the report de spite tho fact that this particular aspect of coast guard methods of operating ex-navy destroyers to suppress rum smuggling had no part in the sinking of the S-4 by the Paulding with heavy loss of life. That was a daylight smash and other recommendations of tho subcommittee deal with efforts to prevent recurrence of such accidents. The fact that the coast guard does douse lights at times In efforts to creep up on smuggler suspect craft was developed merely incidentally.

Senator Oddie, however, and his subcommittee colleagues, former Senator Geny of Rhode Island and Senator Slelwer of Oregon, felt that the South Seas, Baltimore Sun. Gltford Plnchot has undertaken to glvo reality to his boyhood's hope of a. trip to the South Seas. And by this very reference to his scheme of long ago, ho lifts the voyage immediately out of competition with the movie expeditions and the pleasure Jaunta of recent years.

Competitive price cutting has been overdone, and with tho high rate of general business activity, it is only reasonable to expect a reaction In coal price and a gradual improvement aa the year progresses provided tin re is no serious let down lu general business. he above are brief excerpts from nly few 'of the many articles torn-iled by The World from loaders In id list ry and finance.

They are typical i lie sentiment expressed. J. Leary, Industrial editor the newspaper, frummarljes as fol- Buslncss In the United States tn tho first quarter of the year just ended was far ahead of the corresponding quarter of 1918; there is less unemployment, with a scarcity of skilled men developing In tho metal trades; no menace to business Is Been in the extra session of Congress, and tho proposed revision of the tariff; tho promise for the remaining nine months la for a record year. Thus may be summarised the replies of leaders In all lines of Industry, the leading statistical organizations, bankers, and the spokesmen of organized labor and organlied manufacturers in response to Tho World's question: 'How was business in tho quarter just ending? What a tho outlook for business In the remaining months of the year?" Tho response that business Is good and promises to make 192-9 a record-breaker waB so nearly unanimous as to make reports of poor conditions notable. Chief of these were spokesmen for tho soft coal trade, which has been In chaos half a decade, tho cotton textile trade, now unusually prosperous, but threatened with overproduction and anoLher setback, and to a lesser extent, tin leather Industry.

Kavo in building, nil major industries report Increased volume of business, the decline In building, mainly due to tho abatement of the housing shortage in many centers, being offset la lai-go measure by the Increase In the volume of heavy construction in which Is Included roads, public utilities and public works generally. The duel between speculativo Wall Street and the Inderal Reserve Board Is, In most quarters, held to bo nothing to be alarmed about, though part of the recession in building Is attributed to tho high rates prevailing for money. The more conservative Incline to the opinion that, looking at the markets broadly, security prices will hold. Indeed, one of the moat conservative of thu nationally known research engineers questions whether tho optimists responsible, for higher markets do not more correctly forecast tho future of American Industry than the pessimists. Through the responses run a strong expression of confidence that President Hoover will give to the country an administration that will be helpful to bUBiucsa.

The expressions of fact and opinion check with reports of the federal Reserve Board, the United States Department of Labor, the American Railway Association, and are substantiated by Hie condition of telegraph traffic, always a most dependable Index. The volume of telegraph trofUc In i he first quarter was 10 percent In excess of a year ago and for the year promises to be well ahead of 192S. Tho greatest prosperity is noted in tbe steel aud automobile In dustries, tu tlie former, one leader makes the point that this prosperity lg based on general conditions and not, as frequently haH been the ease, on good business In one or two linos. In the Utter production of not fewer than cars ia predicted. The prosperity reported in what may be tunned the bread and butler Industries, is equaled by conditions in the luxury and amusement trades, leaders In the radio and moving picture industries, rtoi daring business to bo ul new peuks, with uo storm signals ahead, while even tho legitimate theuter, given only threw years to live in a recent declaration by a New York jiroduoer, lu declared by tho most important factor in tho business, declared it to be dolriK unusually well.

Conspicuous by its absence Is any report of important labor troubles, and It is interesting to note Bevcral records! themselves aa believing much of the existing and promised prosperity la due to tho high wugea, stability of employment and consequent high purchasing power of tho employed masses.

We take Ihe llherly of re printing from Tito World extracts from some of the views of leaders In Indiifuy and The World's own The thought la li a there will be Interest. 'Jiiey are presented today as their own editorial comment.

From personal observation, combined with study of reports continually coining 1n to me from the meniheia of the National Association of Manufacturers who represent a cross-section of all tlie Industries In all parts of the country. I would call conditions most encouraging. But to me the most reassuring consideration of all Is lliat the urw President gives strong Indication Tin he Intends to keep his Nation In excellent economic health and ntrenditig strictly to Alln General Motors, says: The present situation In tho antomohlle Industry Is entirely ssttisfactory, and Ihe demand for cars Is all that could be desired. The basis of our Industrial structure Is fundamentally sound, conseriuently the outlook for tho of the year Is most reassuring. The building Industry- Is nctlve and because of great activity In both private and public construction the Indications are that heavy demands will ho made upon both skilled and un-Bkllled workers associated with tbe building Industry.

This applies not only to (lie work of constructing buildings but also to the Industries which supply building materials. The organized labor movement will make full contrlbullcjn toward the establishment nrid malnlalnnnoi of a stabilized and nctlve Industry and toward a solution of the problems of unemployment ns they may arise and as thev apply to peculiar Industries. (General o. Havbord. president of the Radio Corporation of America, says: Business of the Ilaillo Corporation of America for Die first quarter of 1929 has shown a marked Increase over the corresponding monihs of 1128.

Tbe engineers of our associated companies are making progress In the experimental development of television, hnt Important problems remain to be solved before this new service can lie made available for tho general public. Jo'in -Moody, president of Moody's investors' Service, declares: It Is my opinion that the calendar year 1S29 will record the Krente.il year of material pros- perlt a whole, that this experienced. T. M. Olrdler, president of tho Jones 1-iughlin Sleet Corporation, says The etee! Industry Is now In a record period of production.

The month of March will probably show me greatest output of steel products In the history of the Industry. Tlie favorable conditions bringing about this activity in the steel industry have been steadily accumulating sinco last Bummer and give promlne of remaining excellent throughout the year, with flnu prospect for the full year. Gerald Svropo, president of the General Electric Company, sayB: Ho far In the first quarter or this year bualnos 1a. In accordance with expectations, ahead of the same period last year. This increase, la genera! throughout tho United Stales.

The outlook for the balance of this year Is still a favorable one, and especially In motor applications in In dustry, tho elecirlflciitlcn of eteam railroads and increased electrical conveniences in the home. K. Herr, president of the West-Inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, saya: The presidential election Is out of the way, and has resulted to (lie general satisfaction of our people. This will Insure greater Industrial activity, which, in the electrical field, ia already being felt, 1. D.

A. Morrow, president of the Pittsburgh Coal Company, says: Conditions in the bllumlnoud coal business during tho first Quarter of this year In the Pllts-fctirgh territory have not been particularly good. Weather conditions hem la the winter months wcie leu vigorous than in the ft menace they perceived to surface vessels In the fact that destroyers go swiftly about the coastal waters in the dark without lights warranted Including a repudiation of the practice In their report. They did so, although Senator Oddle frankly admitted he expected a row over its prohibition enforcement aspects when the senate got time to consider tho report. DRY ANGLE STRESSED As yet probably Very few senator have read the subcommittee findings.

The-report came in at the very close of the last congress on February 27. Aside from this Incidental recommendation, there Is not much In It apt to cause prolonged debate when it is taken up for adoption during the special session. The political aspects highly aroused public opinion over the S-4 tragedy may have presented at the time of tho investigation havo disappeared. Control of the navy has passed to other hands, for one thing; and In addition, the salvaged S-4 herself is being used In very promising experiments to increase the safety of submarine crews without injuring the military characteristics of the underwater ships. So it now looks as though the only possible political meat left in the S-4 disaster cecoanut will be found in the prohibition enforcement aspect of the, subcommittee report.

That's the way things go sometimes in government of, for aud by the people. Old Style The Bouth Seas themselves had their big time then. The "Challenger" was at sea from 1S72 to 1876 and spent a year in tho region which now seems romantic. But tho scientists of the "Challenger" were after factB and found them. It was a notable contribution which they made and they were duly acclaimed.

These were all great events In their day. They are not in tho manner of tlie modern scientific and commercial projects into unknown lands, and says that, while they were happening, he himself planned to be an explorer, one assigns him to their company. Tho mere fact that the South Seas are now Btyllsh is no rea-Eon why he should abandon his old horues.

They clamber and crawl frantically up the sldeB, balance precariously on the edge and drop down an the other side into the big world of the family kitchen. And at this behavior of the young- eat generation Mrs. Gray Is beside' herself. She corrals one runaway 1 after another with her forepaws, graps; him by the scuff of the neck, and Congressman Moorhead talking with him ono day when the conversation turned to the subject of dreams; hereupon Mr. Moorhead stated that ono of the extraordinary experiences of his life was a remarkable dream of his own about Mr.

Stanton, and then he told, them of this dream, as. follows: A number or years botore the Civil war Mr. Moorhead waB camped in the Allegheny Mountains, near Johns- towu, engaged in erecting a telegraph line. One night he was awakened from sleop In his tent by a dream in which his friend and attorney, Edwin M. Stanton, seemed to be In great peril of his life.

Moorhead lighted a candle, looked at his watch and found it was midnight, blew out the light and went to sleep, and was shortly awakened by a return of-the same dream. He turned over and wont to sleep again, but was for the third time awakened by the same dream. Then he got up and wrote a letter at his bedside to Mr. Stanton, at Pittsburgh, stating the place, hour and nature of his dream, and that it had so Impressed him he would como to Pittsburgh quickly as possible to see him. This letter was posted on the stage coach passing through at daylight.

The following day Mr. Moorhead weut to Johnstown and from there on a packet to Pittsburgh by way of the Pennsylvania canal. Arriv ing in Pittsburgh, ha immediately went to the office of Shalersft Btan-ton, Attorneys, and inquiring' of Mr. Shalor if Mr. Stanton waa in was ushered into the back office, where he found his friend.

Mr. Stanton threw hlB arms around Moorhead'a neck and burst Into tears, Baying he had received Moorhead letter written at midnight on top of the mountain, and that at the hour mentioned aa tbe time of the dream he WAS In imminent danger of his life that he was then about to tako his own life. Moorhead prayed with Stanton. Stanton explained that his great trouble was with regard to hlB country a terrible tear that her Institutions and the nation were going to be wrecked. Moorhead and Stanton agreed that neither of them would ever Bpeak of this matter of tho dream or of the Intention of Stanton to take his own lite.

Some years later, after the Civil war and after the doath of Stanton, General Moorhead was at Bedford Springs, engaged in conversation with Mr. Black, when the subject turned upon dreams, Moorhead re- nf ho rti? dream8' JUQSe Dlatk "kea wmU nav0 you t0 Bay of your dream -lxut Edwin M.
