The average American, these figures say, received an income of $388 last year. This was an increase of $36 over the figures for the year before, and consequently it would seem to reflect a real improvement in general conditions. But before we start to cheer, we might remind ourselves that this $388 compares with an average income of $628 for the year 1929. In other words, although the income of the ordinary man has been rising from its depression low, it still has a very long way to go before it puts us back where we were before all this trouble started. Freedom For Men! The young New Yorker who compelled the managers of a big off ice, building to have him arrested, rather than submit sub-mit to their rule that he could not ride in their elevators on a hot day without his coat, ought to endear himself to a great many perspiring American males. Men have a great deal of fun criticizing the foibles of feminine fashions; yet women, after all, do have sense enough to wear cool clothing in the summer time, while men continue supinely to put up with the rule which says that a man is not properly clothed, even on the most sweltering day, unless he has a coat on. If women can go about their business on a torrid day with nothing between their bodies and the great outdoors but a few ounces of thin cloth, it ought to be possible for men to be presentable in their shirt sleeves. This young New Yorker seems to have struck a blow in a good cause. Gathering Speed Last spring a reporter went out and talked casually to 100 persons. Of them, 56 were pessimistic; the others thought the world might survive after all. Tht other day, the same reporter repeated his experiment. He discovered only 13 gloomy persons, out of his 100. That tells the story the same story that is being told in lumber production, salmon canning, fruit growing, wheat raising, tourist travel, retail sales a score of cold statistics. The story is: The west is on its way again. Better ttrah. alfttle figtrres TSttie "proof anyone -may have by talking to friends, neighbors, merchants and visitors. 0pr timism is the usual thing today ; yesterday, the optimist was regarded as a bit daft. True, we still have our problems but today we have the will to solve them and the confidence that they WILL be solved. We still need jobs for men, but the employment figures creep steadily upward. There still are too many idle millions in banks but they are slowly coming out into the light and being put to work. Recovery may seem a trifle slow, at first, but a locomotive loco-motive doesn't dash out of a depot at 60 miles an hour. The main thing is that the start has been made, the pace is accelerating, ac-celerating, the signals show green and we're on our way on the right track.

Seamount Rites Held At Provo. Funeral services for Dan Seamount, former Provoan, who was killed Monday at his work in a logging mill near Placerville, Cal., were held in the Provo Sixth ward chapel Sunday afternoon. Mr. Seamount was a brother of John D. Seamount. O. R. Thomas of the bishopric presided. The opening song, "The Lord is My Light," was sung by Peter M. Jensen, and the prayer was offered by Bishop Andrew Knudsen. Mrs. Rose Kartchner and Mrs. Leland Cook sang "One Fleeting Hour." Remarks were made by S. P. Eggertsen, Dr. C. M. Smith and J. A. Buttle. A solo, "Face to Face" was sung by Rhodes Jep-psen. Jep-psen. and Mrs. Kartchner and Mrs. Cook rendered another duet. Christian Jeppsen closed with prayer, and the grave at the Provo Pro-vo city cemetery was dedicated by A. M. Anderson. SCIENCE Drs. H. B. Miller and L. B. Sisson of the Mellon institute favor the complete abolition of coal - burning furnaces in the homes. They recommended the manufacturing of the coal gas in a central plant and piping it to the home. The doctors say that the damaging effect of the sulphur and tar gas on the paint and buildings in the city would be almost completely eliminated by this method. The plant would remove the damaging parts of the coal by special filtering agents, giving the consumer only pure heat-producing fuel. Air condition units in the smoky districts have failed in three months; seven-year paints stand up only three years. The smoke prevents the growth of trees and shrubbery and cause unestimable damage thru corrosion corro-sion every year. Provoan Enlists In Marine thorps To further his education and" provide for a career of travel and adventure in foreign lands, Glenn V. Peck, 18, grandson of .Mrs. Violet R.

Prosit! Bright Moments In Great Lives During the reign of the Emperor Em-peror Napoleon III, French court life was at the peak of its glory. The presentations of court, the audiences with the rulers of France were great affairs of state, and were staged amidst georgeous settings. Madam Charles Moulton, an American girl, had been presented present-ed at court and had made a great impression on the French rulers. One evening, during a ball at the palace, the empress sent word to Madam Moulton that she would like to speak to her. Very much flustered .and tingling with exr citement, Madam Moulton started start-ed immediately toward where the empress was sitting. As she. hurried along, her escort, es-cort, Prince Murat, whispered to her: "Please don't walk so fast; I can't keep up with you." The two youngest signers of the Declaration of Independence were Edward Rutledge and Thomas Yynch, both 27, and both from South Carolina. - Photo tU U. . FAT. OFF. FORyM n Agin 'Em Letters from Herald readers read-ers are welcome for the Forum and Agin 'Em column. They should bear the writer's name and address; avoid personalities; per-sonalities; be as brief as possible. pos-sible. Provo should be more air minded. mind-ed. With a population the size of Provo's we should have at least a fair landing field where commercial com-mercial or transport planes that may be off there could land safely, This would be a step to put Provo on the air map. Smaller towns in Utah are much father advanced in this field than Provo. If Provo would support sup-port aviation and maintain a halfway half-way decent field we would have a better chance in getting a gov ernment air defense base when it is decided to put one of this in-termountain in-termountain territory. At the present time we have i,three licensed, planes and trans- i Hort pilots that are , doing every- ying to TasWSTt& air minded a)jd are teaching our citizens to Vly at a reasonable fee.

We can nave all of this with very little expense and in a few years would bring many a dollar here that we wouldn't get otherwise. other-wise. Let's hear from someone else. BRYAN J.

He shut his eyes again because that light hart him and he felt sore all over almost as if he had been braised In a fight. Yesterday. . . . Yesterday. . . . There was something he want-ad want-ad to remember. And could not. So he closed bis eyes and lay still Presently the sound ot crisp, tarehed skirts rustling came to his ears, and he opened bis eyes again. Just a little. There was a a arse. She bad a cool, wide face with smiling eyes. She had a thermometer in her hand and sbe shook it a little, smiling down at him. "Well, we're quite a lot better today, aren't we?" sbe said. Michael would have frowned tf frowning, like , the square of light, hadn't hart him. Nurses always talked that way. as if the patient were a child. Was he better? He didn't know. Wasn't sure. even, that he bad been really ill. It was too much trouble to talk. The nurse wrote something down on a chart that bung on the foot of the bed: Michael could see that much, out ot the mere crack he bad opened in bis shuttered shut-tered lids. Then sbe went away and came back again with a cloudy draught which 6he held to his lips. "Oh. good!" The words came drowsily, almost Involuntarily and he could feel a very vibration of triumph go through the nurse's body as she kept cool professional fingers on bis wrist. "Well now. Isn't that splendid! He likes bis medicine, does oe? Well, it he's very good be shall see somebody after a bit. and that will make him better still." MicbaeJ hadn't the remotest idea what she was talking about, and he didn't care In the least It was far too much trouble to ask. He drowsed again and the pain was less. There was somebody a girl In a dark frock at his bedside when he wakened. She kissed him and wept a tittle tit-tle and this tired Michael. The nurse took her away, making soothing noises. After that be slept tor-a long time and when he woke again there was a splash ot rain against the windows ant) the: room was cooler. It was. the nurse, told' him brightly, another iay. ...

And there was an Englishman named Oownrigg who made them move Micbael from the ward to a private robin. Michael Mi-chael couldn't quite understand why it mattered or why Mr. Downrigg cared, but there it was. Oas day. Downrigg came and tbey bad a long talk. Michael, dressed for the first time In his street clothes, was sitting in a comfortable cbair out in the pavilion. pa-vilion. Downrigg talked a lot about the estate' (what estate? Michael Mi-chael wanted to ask but didn't bother) and said there was a good deal of money tied up. although not. of course, as much as one would tike. Death duties and so on. he had said portentlously. "You'll be sailing. 1 suppose, as soon as you are well." Downrigg Down-rigg had said. "And after you're married." After be was married. The phrase, for an instant, stirred some memory Id Micbael. but It passed. It bad been like a breeze passing over a wbeat nela. bending the stalks only for a moment. mo-ment. After be was married well, men married every day. This Sally-girl was solicitious. Sbe kissed him when sbe came and went. It wasn't unpleasant. He ought to remember more about ber, though. And couldn't. Downrigg went on. He was leaving for England on the morrow, mor-row, be said. They could find him In London. He left Micbael his card. On this side, be said, the affairs were in the hands of Whltbread & Forrest In Wall, street. He wrote the address down. Michael could draw on them. "That's nice." Michael said looking down at bis oddly tbin. oddly helpless hands. Once tbey had been brown. . . . TT was easier after that because he was stronger. Only there was a sort of cloudiness at the back of bis brain not wholly disagreeable, dis-agreeable, but rather worrying. If tbat cloudiness would lift. Micbael felt, be could remember a great deal. He didn't tell the doctors this, . He had never been 111 In bts life before and. for all tie knew, this dizziness. . this feeling of not being quite sure of oneself might be a part of convalescence. He satisfied Sally by being gentle gen-tle and subdued and entirely tractable. He no longer frowned and urged delay when sbe spoke of their coming marriage, but let her have things ber way. There was something familiar about the streets through whicb Sally and ber father presently drove him. They expected blm to smile in recognition, and so be did, because he didnt like to disappoint dis-appoint tbiTn. They had been so kind.' And when tbey drew up at a shabby house under pin oak trees out on a country road be felt a flash of something that was almost al-most like pain. A young colored boy came out and shook his hand and said he waa glad to see him back. Michael va very polite all through cigar in his hand. . . .

Wben be went inside be found that, sure enough, the room with the narrow bed and the oaken chest ot drawers meant something to blm. He bad slept In this room long ago.

He ought to come back to tbelr bouse with them, onlf .people .talked so. And. after all. the wedding was to be next week. Then sbe could take care of blm for always her great big. naughty boy who bad been so very ill! Michael was glad wbea she'd gone away. The colored boy whose name. Micbael had learned, waa Tips, came out and said that bta father bad bad to go to Hartford because somebody In the family was sick. He'd be back next Thursday. Micbael 6ald. not caring at all but very politely, that be was stirs everything would be all right. Tips asked rather timidly If Micbael wanted to nave a look at the borses. and Micbael followed him out tnto a shabby stabteyard, where a mare and a big roan whinnied at blm. This was good, Micbael thought. It waa a homelike home-like place. Obviously be belonged here, although that cloudy sensation, sensa-tion, wavering always at the back of bis mind, made him feel a bit unsure.

Sally sat, surrounded by a rainbow rain-bow of trocks: shoes, still In tbelr tissue wrappings, lay In the boxes. It bad been easier than sbe bad expected all of it. She gloated, witb a sort of wild glee, over tba thought of her coming triumph. At first sbe bad been attracted to Micbael merely because of bta handsome masculinity partly because be-cause of bis indifference. Bat ber nature took fire always at any sign ot opposition and. although sbe bad been more than once tempted to let the engagement drop, after sbe bad heard of bis good fortune she bad determined to cling to blm doggedly. Micbael bad been right when he bad shrewdly gauged Sally a reactions to the thought of a title. Sbe rolled the words on her'lipt now, trying on a dangling crystal earring. "Lady Carden." Sbe swept herself a 'deep curtsey curt-sey In the glass, liking the effect ot dangling crystal drops against ber dark curls and ber glowing dark skin. Those old cats down at tbe Point could not snub ber now. They'd have to admit sbe'd done well for berselt. Suddenly sbe remembered tb little packet tbe nurse bad given berwben first sbe arrived at tbe hospital, claiming Micbael. Sbe turned it out of ber purse, examining exam-ining It again witb curiosity. A handful of change, a crumpled bill or two. And a plain gold ring. A wedding ring. . w "Funny, old-fasbioned thing, Salty said with distaste.
