Ever since the .early days of the campaign Mr. Hoover's name hasbeen one the storm centers of the cabinet list, many Republicans losing his appointment as seer - ary jf state, interior, commerce or labor and many opposing it because of his decided stand in favor of the league of nations. Whether he will accept the commerce portfolio is not definitely known here but the general expectation is that he will. A formal invitation is that he will. A formal invitation is expected to go forward within a few hours. BETTER BUSINESS IX NEW ENGLAND Boston, Feb. 22.?Activity in shoe manufacture and definite improvements ih textile lines as compared with conditions of three months ago are reported from center of those industries in New* England. The shoe industiV which was very flat last fall has taTtei1! a spurt as a result of Easter ^eihdnds and manufacturers say they look for a general strengthening in the call for shoes after the usual dull period..of-the spring, with a return to normal .. .production by the end of the year.-. Production of cotton textiles has increased during the. winter from 25 .to 50 per cent..and even more in some special lines, according to manufacturers, whp credit the improvement largely to the stimulous of low prices quoted to the trade as a result of the 22 1-2 per cent, wage cut. In the cotton mill centers of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts a distinct advance is reported. Except in Fall River, the center of the print cloth industry where the mills employing 35.000 are now operating on full time with full crews, few instances of a return to normal in that industry have been reported thus far. Mills of the American Woolen company in. Lawrence are employing more help than previously and are Demg run more nours unuer me wage reduction of 22 1-2 per cent, but are working at less than half their capacity, it is estimated. Larger makers of cotton mill machinery have continued to run with full forces through the dull period in textile manufacture, but a consider' ' . . '.P. ? ' ' ? able degree of curtailment is evident in other machinery lines. LETS CRACK OCR OWN NUTS Do you remember the story ol' the Little Boy who asked Another Boy to crack his nut for him?

V*** | ihe chamber's committee of statistics ! tnd standards, the review stated "the : most convincing evidence that we are ! on the high road to recovery is found in the universal report from every section of the country of steadily growing sentiment that business will be better in the spring." The review predicted there would "not be a sudden return to prosperity but a slow and natural working out of those processes of liquidation which are now in full operation." In another statement issued by the chamber of commerce today Joseph P. Defrees, its president, urged passage by congress of the budget bill. It will be impossible under the present wasteful appropriation system, Mr. Defrees said, to bring about the economy and efficiency in public busi ness wnicn ne saia me country is ui- | ;manding.Plenty of Shirts. An,.. absent-minded traveler was askejl to stay a few days at a country house. His wife, realizing that, he, wa? to be the lion of the party, told him to put on a clean shirt every! evening. She packed him one for each J night. When he returned she said: "Well, 1 hope you remembered to put on a I clean shirt every night." I "Oh, yes, he replied.

After exhausting his vocabulary, the unfortunate man scratched his head in despair, but at that moment a small boy chanced to pass by. ''What's up, mister?" he inquired. The man confessed that he could not make the horse move. The youngster said never a word, but solemnly first raised one hoof and looked at it, then the next, and the next, but when he came to the last the horse absolutely refused to allowthat one to be lifted. : After a great struggle, in which the driver of the van assisted the boy, the. horse's hoof was lifted, and there on the road beneath lay a quarter. Her Arithmetic Was Bad. If you ever dine in Greenwich village at a little dinery where the food is very good ad the waitresses are very black .watch out for'the newlyemployed Salina and her arithmetic. She sold two dinners to two diners at $1.25 a piece last night, and this is the way she calculated their check: 1.25 o She took a firmer hold on her stump of pencil, fixed her mind on her early education and went ahead. "Two fivers are ten and carry one", she ohanted, and marked down a zero. The multiplication table was coming back to her clearly, just like she chanted it in school. "Carry one." she repeated proudly. "Two twos are four, and carry one," she recited. "Dat makes five." Any one can write down figures, but it takes real brains, Salina felt, to carry one like that all the time. . . "Two ones are two and carry one," she said; dat's three." "Dar you are, bass," said she, tearing off the check and presenting it with a flourish. 1.25 3.50 The dinner had not the heart to dis-illusion her; so he had the cashier change the check as he paid on the way out.

Isaacson and Moses were rival qlothiors who kept little stores situated in the same street and opposite one another. It was their frequent prac'iee to stand at their store doors and solicit I the custom of passersby. Occasionally, or. oftener, they would irritate each other by personal remarks. ; One morning Moses shouted to Isaacson: i "Go in, you grade booby, and take that ugly face wid you! You might ! as well stick a donkey at the door." I Isaacson replied: "I did dat one day last week, Mr. Moses, but de peopio passing by only smiled and said to it, 'Good day, Mr. Moses; good day; I see you haf moved from de oder' side.'
