He Goes Into Business For Himself. Asheville, Deo. 10- —A man may be down, but he is not out until he gives up. At any rate that is the philosophy of M. S. White. 29 Baird Street, who five yearn ago was given six months to live by attend ing physicians and who now con ducts a prosperous radio business from his bedside. Mr. White is a graduate of Geor gia Tech, where he took a course in mechanical and electrical engineer ing. Following his schooling he work ed in various cities and ten years ago he suffered a physical break down. He remained at his home, Me bane, for a time and later went out into Arizona and Colorado for a time seeking a cure for tuberculosis which he had contracted- He believed himself cured and re turned to his work at his home only to break down completely five years ago. The physicians gave him six months to live, Mr. White then came to Asheville and, to occupy his time he took n correspondence school sales course. He began to sell- various articles, such as phonographs, auto mobile accessories, flour, and other commodities by telephone from his roomV He was successful and noxv has gone into business for himself. By his bed is a telephone stamd on which sit a telephone and a small portable typewriter. Here Mr. White outlines his business program and interviews his prospects for sale of | radio sets by telephone. He handles ! all correspondence in his work and I has two assistants who set up the outfits for him after he‘ has dug up prospects and sold them. He even conducts demonstrations of radio with' the set that is at his bedside to those who sometimes go o his room and quite often, he said, he lets his prospect listen in to the pro gram of the radio set over the tele phone. Jfr. White is strictly a business man in his transactions, but has one weakness, that of sympathy for fel low’ shut-ins, and to these he fur nishes radio sets at cost, he said, be cause he realizes that their are not particularly bright. Mr. White never leaves his room and rarely his bed, he said,' and he believes that it is his work that has enabled him to “cheat the doctors.” No Gift Tax in Revenue Bill. .

New York. Dec. 17. — UP) —The cot ton market was decidedly more active this morning. An opening decline of 4 to 14 points in response to rela , tively easy Liverpool cables carried the market into a considerable volume of buying orders around ftie IS 3-4 cents level for March contracts and 18 1-2 cents for May. This demand proved sufficient to hold the .market during the early trading, but selling was active for southern, and local accounts. The initial decline extended to 18.70 for March, or about 16 points net lower, and prices were within 2 or 3 points of the lowest at the end of the first half hour.

Trotzky Once Worked as an Extra in Big Movie Features- Hollywood, Cal., Dec. 17. —(/P)— If things go bad for Leon Trotzky in RtiHsia. he always can come back to the movies. His work as an extra m “My Official Wife” and “The Battle Cry of Peace” has not been forgotten by the director who hired him, even though most film fans are unaware that lie over was an actor. It was in placid pre-war days, / of course, that the man who later be came lord of the soviets made his motion piettore debut. In “My Official Wife,” a Vita graph feature filmed in New York, the script called for a scene showing a group of anarchists plotting fear ful deeds in a cellar. The director asked a Russian employe of the studio to'round up a few of his fel low countrymen who could be made •to “look like anarchists-” “iJbok like anarchists!” snorted the Russian. "I will ket your an archists what iss anarchists.” He came back with a bewiskered , and earned group, of whom one of the mildest and least bewiskered called himself Leber Bronsteiu. This mild man was a real estate operator in a small way in the Bronx. He al so wrote for certain foreign language newspapers, but his earnings, all told, were modest, and he was glad to get the $5 a day as a movie extra. , The "anarchists” plotted realistic ally, and so when the director needed some more Russian atmosphere for “The Battle Cry of Peace,” a film released in 1915, the payroll of ex tras again included the name of Bronstein from the Bronx. This was the last Bronstein’s 1 director saw of him, but he read ? plenty later. He has not yet re- I covered from his surprise at the sudden rise of Leber Bronstein to i the Leon Trotzky of world fame “He was a good extra, as extras go,” the film man commented, “and - if he came back we would use him.” J A recent report of the Diamond - Workers’ Protective Union of Amer > ica that that more than half of the 1 organization’s membership of 400 are at present without employment.
