BUSINES3 For the past several REVOLUTION IN RESEAR d, - weeks the business world has maintained a steady pace, not Blipplng backward after the sharp rise In activity during the last .half of 1938, nor making any remarkable advance. Statisticians, with their fingers on the plus of Industry, foresee a continuance of the upward trend. A rapid business recovery during the Spring is forecast by WPA Administrator Harrington, with 1,500,000 men going back to work in private industry by June 1. Preparing for this anticipated rise a crowd of more than 1,100 Btores buyers from swarmed Into New York on a single day last week and placed orders for new Spring dresses, suits, housefurnishing8 and other dry goods averaging 10 per cent fibove 1938.

Owning 20 per cent of the land In the United States, or some 605,000 square miles, worth almost 14,750,000,-00- 0 Including Improvements, he is way out in front of all other "landed gentry". His holdings cover more ground than the area of 20 states; Alabama Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, The New York and Wisconsin. holdings vary from state tostate, running as high as 82 per "cent of Nevada's 110,690 square miles to h of 1 per cent less than Iowa's of 56,147 square miles. These statistics give the reason why President Rosevelt last week appointed a Federal Real Estate Board to coordinate the government's land activities and to attempt to depose of surplus holdings. com-bind- . one-tent- - Assembeld TACKLE TAXES in New York last week for its 28- th annual convention the National Retail Dry Goods Association examined in detail all problems facing the industry. Of particular Interest to business men concerned with tax trends was the N. R. D. G A. action deploring "unwise and excessive" taxation and recommen ding "a through review and revision of Federal, State and local tax laws". Significant application of this tax viewpoint to retailers' problems was made by Benjamin II. Namm, Brooklyn, N. Y. department store head, who attacked n store 'death the patman sentence" tax bill as "legislation Intended to crusJi a legitmate busl ness just because it has grown big through efficient service to the public." "As an Independent merchant", said Namm, "I am opposed to any such legislation". He charged that this and similar local, state and federal legislation "deprived retailers of their 'right to pass on to consumers and savings as their operating efficiency made possible". anti-chai- THINGS TO WATCH FOR -p- CH" The growing Importance of the role played in modern business by science is reflected by esti mates that of the commercial exhibits at the New York World's Fair will be devoted to scientific demonstrations of new products which will make life easier In "The world of Tomorrow".

"Ay," said the minister, "I knew them both as boys. One was a clever, handsome fellow; the other was a steady, hard worker. The clever lad was left behind In the race of life, but the hard worker-w- ell, he died and left sixty thousand dollars to his widow. It's a great moral" ."Yes," replied his wife, with a smile, "it is. I heard only this morning that the clever one is going to marry the widow." Few of His Size The fat man was trying to find some tropical clothes in the Far South resort He tried most every store in town, and patient clerks had politely made a pretence of looking over their stock and advising him they were Just out of his size. Finally he ran across a clerk more truthful than diplomatic, who, after looking him over, said: "Frankly, mister, we carry nothing In stock that would fit you except collar buttons and handkerchiefs."

A man's weapons were his own, but generally the tools, and often the food, and among the tribes of the plains even the tepee belonged to the women. Personal belongings were often buried with their owner, that their souls might accompany him to the future home. Remaining property was distributed In the tribe or bestowed upon heirs. McNicholls "The Amerindians" says that the conditions of land tenure obtaining in America upon the arrival of the Europeans was such that the view was held by them that there was no occasion to bother about acquiring title from the natives. "It was convenient for the colonists to conclude that the Indian right itself was but imperfectly and partially secured. It was convenient also for the colonists to conclude that neither tribes nor individual Indians were clothed with the requisite authority to enable them to make perfect conveyances of their rights or claims." How Ants Store Honey Bees store their honey in cells manufactured by themselves; but in Mexico and the southwestern United States there is an ant which stores Its honey in other ants. Many species of ants collect honey-dew, store it in their crops and, on returning to their nests, feed their brood or other members of the colony by disgorging the sweet liquid. The Mexican honey ant, however, has gone one better in organising food stores, says Pearson's London Weekly. In each nest of this species there is a class of workers, known as "repletes," the abdomens of which are so tremendously swollen that they are veritable honey pots. The "repletes" never leave the nest They stay there and the honey dew is fed to them by another class of workers which go out to forage for it During the winter, when other members of the community wish to be fed, the "replete" disgorges some of its store. It is a living barrel of stored-ufood. Constance between Switzerland and the Austrian province of Germany.
