Production in the steel industry made a new 1039 high at 56.1 per cent of capacity. Booming along was the electric refrigerator business, its first quarter output being close to the 1937 peak. Noting the improved trend of construction and heavier out put of rubber, leather, and paper com panies, the cnemicai ministry Dtmevts a 20 per cent higher demand over a year ago will prevail for its myriad line of products in April. production is currently keeping shoe manufacturers busy. Bank loans to bur:inr.n3 heve shown a small but steady rise in recent weeks, sure sign that retailers and manufacturers are expanding inventories in anticipation of greater demand for their merchan dise and prcxlucts. Near-recor- d WASHINGTON Though adopted last June, the increased spending pro- gram of the Public Works Administration is only now reaching its full force. To this arm of the federal gov wnment therefore business may look for more orders and workers for more jobs in the months ahead. From spent by PWA last January, monthly expenditures have been climbing gradually to $110,500,000 in March and will reach a peak of $184,- 600,000 in Juh'. At this time about C0O.OOO men will be employed. There after expenditures will taper off to $S2,300,00O projected for December. $G3,-200,0- PWA activity affects chiefly the producers of basic construction materials steel, glass, cement, bricks, paint and the like.

Industrial research, economists agree, owes most of its growth during the last two decades to the need for finding new ways of intreasing sales and profits. Recogni tion that the profit motive does not always dominate, however, was given by two spokesmen before an assembly of business leaders and scientists last week at a dinner sponsored by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia in honor of five companies that collaborated to perfect a new superior safety plate glass for automobiles at no increase in price. Stating that the benefits of research are becoming more important because society is putting a greater obligation on corporate management to supply its material wants, Stewart McDonald, Federal Housing Administrator, cited the work of these companies as exemplary of the spirit of mutual effort fcr social progress. Paul G. Hoffman, president of the Automotive Safety Foundation pointed out that although there was no public demand for improvement in safety glass, the companies nevertheless collaborated in a dollar effort to make automobile safety glass safer. The specific advantages of the new glass over previous types are greater resilience and considerably more strength qualities which scientists MOTIVE six-yea- r, v(C lW .J limim commerce wun and the profitable settlements In Young's Brigham that region?"

But money great quantities ot money were needed to make this dream a reality It was to secure this financing that the present meeting had been called Many bankers nd financiers were frankly sceptical.

Mr. Ames," the danker said, "the only vision I can see is a lot Of loose dollars rolling aw;iy across those prairies." "There is more t'.an profit in the lap of this undertaking," Antes in slsted.

"Prairie dog villages, Mr Ames?" "Those prairie dog towns will one day feed this nation," Anus re torted. His tone was defiant. "But you've got to cross two im passable mountain ranges, t w o trackless deserts and four hundred t miles ot prairies in habited by hostile savages," another banker pointed out. Asa M. Barrows, seated a listk apart with his secretary. Whiuple, had been listening intently, but un til this moment bad taken little part In the active discussion.

Dodge brought his fist down on the desk with an emphatic thump. "Yes, if you gentlemen will stop talking profits and give us the money to lay track," he answered. "1 am staking my own fortune on General Dodge's word that It can be done." (lakes Ames added. "How much of your fortune?" Harrows queried blandly. "I'll back the Union Pacific down to the last shovel In my factory," Ames almost shouted Iv his earnestness, glaring at bis listeners. Barrows smiled. "Splendid, Mr. I'm beginning to Ame3, splendid see a golden harvest In these Iron rails of yours!" "You're with us, then?" Ames asked eagerly. Barrows extended his hand. "My hand on it," he said. "Thank you, Mr. Barrows, thank As Barrows and Whipple descended the stairway, the secretary could not contain himself. "I'm appalled at your decision to invest in that scheme," he said hesitatingly, watching his superior's face. Barrows was thinking aloud. "A railroad must bare a terminal at each end, Whipple. What do you think would happen if the Central Pacific should build all the way to Ogden In the Salt Lake Valley?" "It would bust the Union Pacific higher than a kite," Whipple adhair-braine- Ogden first," patiently, "and passes Barrows explained meets Pacific iu the wilds the Un: o of tlie Wasakt Mountains" " A great light suddenly dawned Baseball Games On the 30th of March our boys played the Bothwell boys baseball.
