New York columnist Charles B. Driscoll notes a sewing machine boom in the city and suburbs as housewives return to domestic work. He links shop activity to broader social shifts, questions casino and club life, and warns of concession rackets in night clubs and hotels. He cites cigaret concession schemes, fur coat theft issues, and praises Mayor La Guardia for cracking down on street crime while urging focus on checkroom fraud.
