A short time ago the New York Times' index of business activity reached a new recovery high, and stood at its maximum since September. 1929. The figure reached was 110.9, 100 equalling a theoretical normal. Of the many items contributing to the index, all rose but one s. The other standard business barometers show a similar trend. The recovery movement has been steady and persistant, even in the face of many disquieting factors. An example of this is provided by electrical power output. As a rule, power use decreases in the summer months, due to longer days and a recession in the industrial operations. Yet this year power sales increased. The adjournment of Congress had little effect either on the business indexes or the sentiment of business leaders. Several reasons are responsible for this. For one thing, it had been widely forecast for several weeks that Congress would call it a day at about the time it did, so adjournment was no surprise. For another, the tendency of Congress, during the last half at least, was to resist expen mental legislation and to either vote it down or to defer it until next ses sion. So business" had a breathing spell. Lastly, the resurgence of congressional independence, and its refusal to accept dictation from the executive branch, is viewed with strong approval by industrial leaders. The nomination of Senator Black, one of the strongest New Deal solons, to the Supreme Court, likewise had practically no effect on business. It was anticipated that the President would appoint someone 100 per cent in accord with his views. And there Is a belief, pointed out recently by most of the Washington columnists, that once a man is placed in a position of great trust and responsibility where no longer is dependent on pleasing the voters to hold office, his attitude toward legal and public questions often undergoes considerable change. Business briefs of interest follow: COST OF LIVING: In July, says the National Industrial Conference Board, the long and steady rise in cost of living stopped. Principal item registering a decline was food, which now costs 19 per cent less than in 1929. AUTOMOBILES: July sales were greater than June, and August sales held to high levels, proving that the public's desire for new cars is far! from satiated. There will be a decline in production soon, due to manufacturers' preparing for the 1938 models to be introduced this fall.

Many of the general re- by relatively small amounts of water pairs to be made to wood buildings that get into the wood and cannot have been caused by decay as a re get out. Water is usually held in the wood by some type of coveriner or by lack of ventilation or drainage. Many of the unrecognized decay hazards are at joints that are exposed to the weather and at surfaces where wood is in contact with other materials. Very often it is cheaper and easier to change the construction details so as to keep the moisture out than to constantly make repairs at these points. Some of the main principles of design to be observed in the use of wood for repairs are provisions for free drainage, ventilation, condensation, and protective coatings. Drainage is especially important to prevent water collecting at the foot of posts, columns, behind cross rails and battens, and at the bottoms of exterior doors. The use of good ventila-titio- n to eliminate the accumulation of damp air under porches and steps and around the roofing and rafters of Darns wui also prevent decay. Proper design should provide for protection to wood from condensation, such as occurs on pipes and on win dow glass, especially in dairy barns, bathrooms, and kitchens. The use of protective coatings, such as roofing felt, tarred and mopped down, will decrease the absorption from damp concrete, masonry, or earth and thus lessen the repair bill. Many of the commonly known de cay hazards cannot be eliminated or modified by design or by the use of protective coatings. The conditions of use are such that wood is necessarily in contact with the ground or subject to frequent contact with water. There is no practical method Dy which wood piers to building. fence posts, sills in contact with the ground, or sleepers imbedded in con Buildings Should Made Properly i i Viw uu hmoou train. h e Detroit Lions, of Low Rmind Trip FARES Los Angeles Chicago boot his team rillmmn Touru $19.43 25.43 529.50 30.76 46.63 46.25 26.63 38.23 46.63 32.43 44.48 19.43 30.98 39.78 32.43 Denver Omaha Minneapolis Still in Effect Portland (That's time to tional v OslUorai km cxMt S) DAM ..v. irei uauv son Kr..- .One of the smart season was a honor of Mrs. School Haso were Delia Mariorie Art Anderson.

This potency is influenced by factoi3 such as the method of pieparations, variety soil, weather, and cutting. Of these, the first is by far the most important.

It shows that the lgislators are nowhere near as eager as they used to be to put new laws on the books. The 73rd Congress (1933-3- 4 passed 27 major laws, including the NRA, AAA.TVA, SEC, and 4 important monetary acts. The 74th Congress (1935-36- ) passeS 19 major laws, Including the social security act, a revision of banking legislation, the National Labor Relations Act, and 4 farm aid acts.

Many vegetables commonly eaten in Asia, are unknown in the United States. In some countries American sweet corn is not considered fit for human food. Although the Division of Plant and Introduction draws on the whole world for new plants, these are used mostly to breed specific char acteristics into vegetables that alimready are favorites, in order to prove them in disease resistance, quality, or other characteristics. Systematic vegetable breeding, care fully and scientifically planned by public agencies in this country, is comparatively new, says the yearbook, but individuals and commercial firms for many years have produced better vegetables, largely by what is known as mass selection, though there has been some by hybridization. The new Federal station at Charleston, S. C, is devoted exclusively to breeding better vegetables. It is concerned with vegetable problems in the Southeast.

STEEL: Production recently drop ped fractionally, but it is forecast that it will soon rise again. Expan sion of heaw industry means vast steel orders. RAILROADS: Are now embroiled in labor difficulties, due to demands for substantial wage increases by op erating employes. Business continues at a good level, when seasonal con siderations are taken Into account Heavy buying of new equipment by many lines is anticipated for fall and winter. SECURITIES. Stock market activity has been relatively slight. Bond prices recently dropped seriously. The Federal Reserve has reduced discount rates to spur bond values. FOREIGN TRADE: Under the new neutrality act, the President can cut off trade with any foreign power in volved in war. But today wars, such as the conflict, are un declared, and as a result our trade with belligerents continue. Japan, one of the heaviest buyers of U. S. scrap iron In recent years, is now buying new steel on a big scale, as it can be more rapidly made into war ma terials. China Is likewise a major cus tomer of materials that are directly and indirectly essential to war. Foreign trade in general tends to rise slowly.
