INVESTMENTS SHOW STEADY IMPROVEMENT
Perhaps a 'great funny of the people of the nation w ho deal
in investments regard stock and Ixjnd quotations as about the
liest barometer of business conditions, rot those whoMeel
that market quotations on securities represent correspond
ing improvement or depression in the national economic
situation, this month already has brought much cheer.
We refer to stock and bond averages of yesterday particu
larly. These averages, prepared daily by Standard Statistics
Co., with the 1926 average equalling 100, set new high marks
in every division for Feb. 5.
In stocks, industrials were averaged at 105, compared with
48.5 a year ago, and 217.1 five years ago. Ilailroads were at
51.3 compared with 28.1 a year ago, and 139.4 five years
ago'. The figures on utilities were 85.8 yesterday, 82 a year
ago' and 216.1 five years ago. The average of all stocks was
93.8, compared with 51.3 a year ago and 201.1 five yeai-3 ago.
In the Iwnd market, where wide fluctuations are more rare,
the total averages showed 84.8 compared with 70.1 a year
ago and 97.5 three years ago. Comparisons with five yean,
ago were not listed in the averages.
Now to look through the figures: In stocks, industrials,
which led the big parade in 1929 when prices were superfi
cial, forced up to unnatural high marks by the pressure .of
wild-eyed speculation, show the greatest gain 6ver a year agp
a gain of well over 100 per cent. Railroads, another very
active class, showed a gain in the last year of nearly 100
per cent. ' Utilities, which did not crash so hard as the others
after 1929, showed a gain of only a small percentage.
The Ixind market gain seems most encouraging from a
broad standpoint, because it represents a betterment in the
last year of approximately 20 per cent and is only 15.7 under
normalcy. Also, artificial movement 1h less apt to creep into
the bond market due to gambling, and a pronounced gain in
this classification of investments really represents a forward
step in business.
In black and white, it is merely another strong pi-oof that
the nation is back on the trail that leads to normalcy, and
moving ahead steadily in spite of an occasional momentary
downward course in the chart.

EXPLAINS WHY

Many motorists are Inclined to
think that the more cylinders a motor
has. tho more gasoline it will use,
but generally this Is net the case,
according to W. C "Cy" Perkins.
Ford dealer for La Grande territory.
"What really count." says 1'crklns,
"is the piston displacement; that Is.
the total number of cubic Inches of
space ln all the cylinders of an en
Biiu. Generally speaking, tlie bore
and stroke- of a motor Qth fuur
cylinders Is greater than one with
eight cylinders. In both cases the
displacement may lie the same, and
the total number of cylinders, there
fore, would hold exactly the same
quantity of gas, air or water, but the
eight-cylinder motor, because of ite
smoother operation, should burn less
gas."
Mr. Perkins made this expliulor
to justily the chum that the Ford
