American Production Pace
Quickened During August;
Price Slashes Spur Buying
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. UP) For the first iiute tints list
November the wheels in America s mills and factories are turning
faster.
After eighty steady months of falling output, the industrial
pace has quickened in August, the Federal Reserve board says.
. riaiming mis pleasant news
are reports of increasing steel
production, record auto output,
reviving department store sales
in New York Citv, and return of
workers to refrigerator plants
where a spurt in orders is boost
ing output.
The August revival should
bring Industrial production back
to about the rate of June, the
Federal Reserve board says. The
sharp drop in July was chalked
up largely to a postwar develop
ment the board hadn't vet taken
Into account when adjusting its
Index to seasonal factors the
spread of the vacation habit
through industry.
Many factories were closed
down part of the time In July
for vacations. When the board
net up its industrial production
index, a number cf years ago, it
made allowance for many season
al variations, but the vacation
practice was so little observed
before the war In heavy Industry
that It was not taken into con
sideration in the index.
Price cuts and hot weather
brought homeowners into the ap
pliance stores in sufficient quan
tity to cut refrigerator inven
tories, and output in the plants
Is being stepped up again. The
National Appliance and Radio
Dealers' association Is even talk
ing about the short supply of the
cooling boxes. It says they'll be
scarce until October, when pro
duction will have caught up
again. Distributors say that
two of the companies are allocat
ing refrigerators to them again.
New York department stores
report sales last week were six
per cent above the like week in
1948. It has been 20 weeks since
they could report any gain over
the previous year. They credit

Cooler days led shoppers to
desert the electric fans at home
and traipse through store aisles.
The Commerce department
makes no guess as to the trend in
August, but many businessmen
exoect that this month's figures
will show that sales of manufac
turing companies picked up this
month, along with their produc

Animal Guessing Duel Between Boy
And Fat Man Develops Into Draw
By HAL BOYLE
EAST HAMPTON, N. Y. (.P) The fat man lay stretched on
a beach, blissfully at peace, lulled asleep by the sea's old song.
Suddenly a shower of sand fell on his face. The fat man looked
up into the serious face of a tow-headed five-year-old boy with a
big brow. The boy held an animal book under his arm.
"Let's play a game," he said,
"Go awav. little boy," said the
fat man crossly. "I am paying $14
a day at this resort to get sun
burned and you are standing
in my sun."
"But there is nobody else for
me to play with," said the boy
stubbornly. The fat man could see
he was a modern child, used to
having his own way.
"If I play one game with you,
will you go away?" he asked.
"Yes. Let's play guoss-the-anl-mal
game. I'm thinking of an ani
mal that starts with the letter
'D What Is It?"
"Is it a deer, dromedary, don
key or a dachshund?" said the fat
man.
"No!"
"All right, I give up."
"It's a dimetrodon!" chortled
the boy.
"A what?" asked the fat man
uneasily. He noticed again that
the little boy had a forehead like
Einstein's.
"A dimetrodon," said the boy.
"You know one of those permian
reptiles that lived millions of
vears aeo." He opened his animal
book and showed the picture of a
huge lizard with a giant fin on
its back.
"Ugh," said the fat man. "Okay
you win, little boy. Now go
awav."
"But that's only half the game.
Now I have to guess an animal
you are thinking about. Why
don't you" he looked at the fat
man craftily "think of an ani
mal beginning with 'P?"
Boy Stumped In Return

He was so pleased with himself

minutes.

"Our audience at the final pro

"The audience which sat undtr
the stars and watched the last
showing of The Taming of the
Shrew" numbered 800 persons
more than the entire attendance
of the three plays of our first
festival in 1935."
Angus L. Bowmer, founder and

says that the excellence of the
plays this season also set a new
