WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 23.
Optimistic predictions are being
made for fall business as the re
sult of some rather marked chang
es for the better which hare been
noted in the last 30 days, accord
Ing to Frank Greene in his month
ly review of business conditions la
the September number of The Na
tion's Business. " -
"Chief of the changes which
have taken place," he writes, "has
undoubtedly been the further pro
grass made in the Improvement
that ;was visible quite plainly one
and two months ago In the agricul
tural sections. Also there has
been evidence of distinct forward
progress in rehabilitating . Eur
ope, i the effects of which, if sue
cessful, as it appears probable
now, cannot fall to have big con
sequence for future American
trade. Hence the concededly
much more cheerful feeling visi
ble in many lines within sime in
stances optimistic ' . predictions
made regardng the. ; further fa
ture.
. "In other words the business
'scenery looks considerably' better
than it did and in the case of the
farmers some effort toward, cap!
talizlng the aforesaid scenery has
been made, the mainspring of this
being big1, sales of wheat at prices
far better than were thought pos
sible three months ago and even
still . better than were received at
this time in 1923. Back of this
nas been an even nagger rise in
corn.and hog prices and the ap
parent disappearance of the fear
of anything resembling1 a burden
some surplus of farm products,
presen V or prospective. So rapid
has ; been the marketing ' of new
wheat and old corn that car load
ings ; have increased and a car
shortage looms.
. "That the improvement mani
fest in the 'scenery' has been sub
stantial enough to be always re
flected In some of the measures
of trade movement is evident in
sharp upturns in some statistical
measures- While the returns at
hand of retail trade for . July,
these Including mail-order and
chain-store sales, reflect a reduc
tion j from the June aggregates.
they mark a really good gain over
July ja year ago when it should,
of course, be recalled trade was
sagging off from the very great
activity of the first half of 1923.
"Bank clearings, gains in which
in Yecent months have been con
find mainly to . New York and
with these attributed to activity
in speculation,' showed in July a
forward movement - outside that
city, part of which as in the south
west, must be attributed to early
wheat marketing at higher prices.
"It has remained, however, for
commodity prices as represented
by the index numbers to show the
most marked and quickest reflec
tion of the better tone in big pri
mary lines, the August r 1 index
number gaining 3.2 per cent with
10 out of 13 groups of commodi
ties advancing. - The biggest
quantitative advance shown, it is
true,! is in textiles, which iaveire
flected a sharp gain in . cotton
goods, 'increases in raw wool, and
in fact in all other textiles. Of
course grains and livestock hare
made the largest percentages of
gain, but provisions, hides, metals,
coal and coke, vegetable oils, nav
al stores ' and miscellaneous pro-

ducts also gained Jn July.
"Examination of the list of ad
vances reveals the fact that the
preponderance of gains has been
in products of the farm which for
some years have not been occupy
ing as relatively a favorable posi
tion as have, say,: the products of
the mil!, the factory, the mine or
the forest. i f
"The course oi Industry this
summer has gone far to confirm
earlier predictions of a; slack time
in mine, mill and factory opera
tions. Pig iron production In July
fell to less than onehalf that of
July a year ago when! the year's
peak of production was reached.
It might be noted by the way that
pig iron and steel production have
not proved as mobile as in some
other years, production not drop
ping as rapidly but certainly get
ting well down. A turn is pre
dieted for August as some furnaces
have, resumed recently.
"Soft coal production has been
at a point 18 per cent below last
year and about equal .to the low
point of the first half i of 1919.
Automobile output has also sagged
noticeably and in August was at
the lowest point in over 18
months. Curtailments has of
course continued in cotton goods
while furniture manufacturers re
port orders from three-fifths to
three-forths of normal- Silk man
ufacturing has- Improved and the
raw material has reacted from the
bottom. I
"Woolen goods manufacturing
has been light but buying by man
ufacturers, mainly of 'fine wools,
has cleaned up the domestic clip
pretty well and caused an advance
which is taken tp mean that mill
operation will be active later on.
Orders for shoes have helped man
ufacturers in that line; and things
are more active than in the spring
with a steadying jeffectipon hides
and leather.;' t
"Building has held tup pretty
well but lumber prices have shown
a good deal of ease through the
summer, this despite late reports
from producing regions yiat ord

and in this case, for instance, Dr.
Livingston knows as "well -what
has been going on throughout the
ages in the making of this inter
esting piece of nature's handiwork
as if he had been able to stand
there all these years -these mil
lion and perhaps millions of
years. The record of the rocks is
written plainly. : Like the law of
the Medes and Persians that
changeth not," the laws of na
ture are constant. - They will
bring the same results 'under like
conditions each time, though the
number be two times or a billion
times. To the man of science,
these wonders of nature are more
Interesting than the puny work of
some ephemeral race of . men in
the distant past. Ed.)
In sending photographs and the
findings of Dr. Livingston,' Prof.
Horner says: j
"It must be admitted that the
structure Js of natural origin. Rut
you can. truly say that there are
many evidences of prehistoric
people in the Oregon country, and
that- in 1880 three mummified
bodies were found on the Santiam
river below Scio (only a few miles
from this mound); that these
were exhibited over the Willam
ette valley and were photographed
at Monmouth by C. C- Lewis, now
connected with ; the Woodard &
Clark house ia Portland, also that
in. shape the structure somewhat
resembles a pyramid."
CORSET DISEASE DISAPPEARS
BERLIN, Aug 2 3. One' of the
few disease in Germany that have
shown a decline In recent years Is
chlorosis, also known as "green
sic k-ness." According to Profes
sor Rudolf Lennhof f, the practical
disappearance of the disease is to
be directly ascribed , to the dis
carding ot corsets by women.
Operations are Relatively
Higher in Western Por
i tion of. Country
Construction operations in the
United States tor the first six
months of this year increased 0.71
per cent over the same period in
1923, Engineering News-Record
reports. Totals of contract awards
for the period this year were $1,4
026.505.000.' as against $1,019,
230,000 up to the end if June in
1923. ' -; :"; v.j
The Southern states show the
greatest increase in construction
for the six months period com
pared with that of last year or"
with any of the other sections
The Increase is 26.6 ; per cent
making the 1924 half j year total
$117,623,000. r ., .
Construction is holding - rela
tively high rates in the southern
western and middle Atlantic sec
tions. Substantial increases . in
these sections are shown month
by month. over their records- of
last year with the exception that
the souhern section fell below, in
June, the ; western in March and
the middle Atlantic in April.
Tiie middle Atlantic section
shows an increase of 16-5 per cent
over the first six months, of last
year with aggregate awards of
$321,035,000. The city of New
York, has had an unprecedented
building period but the increase of
this section cannot be accredited
to that of the city alone as the re
ported statistics show construction
work has been active throughout
the. section. -
The middle west shows the
greatest reduction in construction.
falling 30.9 per cent' below the
1923: period. The 1 9 2 4 six months
figure for' this section is $210,

per cent short of .the 1923 figure
New England is 6.1 per cent under
the same period of last year with
Its total of $61,278,000.
Most of the classes of construe
tion snow an increased money

CARE FOR THE HUMAN
MACHINE DURING
HARVEST
-
KEEP 1 WELL AND EARN
MUKti Munci, ii you taKe a
half day off . and cure yourself,
you : will have a bigger paycheck
than if you keep dragging around
half sick. Sleep or rest at least
eight hours each night.
STOMACH ACHE Is the com
mon complaint with workers in
hops, prunes, pears; apples and
other fall crops. PREVENT IT
if possible by care in food . and
drink and habits of living. Keep
food away from, vermin and flies
which may carry typhoid fever
and other Infectious diseases.
Keep it from - contamination by
unclean hands, your own and oth
ers, which, have not been washed
with soap. Keep it in an inex
pensive refrigerator made " by
hanging a sacking covered box to
a tree or post with a constant drip
from a pan of water placed above
it. AVOID unripe ' and overripe
fruit, and all unwashed fruits and
vegetables. Be. on the safe side
by cooking all truit and vegeta
bles, especially for young children
Boll all milk except that from a
certified dairy. Be sure that the
meat Is fresh or has been kept on
Ice until time for cooking. Choose
for each day something from each
of the ; following groups. If you
eat too much of any one of these
groups you will not keep up your
strength. 1. Meats, eggs, milk,
cheese, fish, peas, beans, nuts. 2.
Vegetables such as tomatoes, let
tuce, squash, celery, "greens,"
sweet corn. 3. Cereal grains,
bread, macaroni. 4. Butter and
cream, lard, suet, salt pork and
bacon, table and salad oils." - 5.
Sugar, f molasses, sirup, honey,
cakes, candy and preserves. Eat
sparingly of fruit - and melons
while in camp." COOKING TAKES ,
TIME, but it helps the food give
a dollar's worth of strength for
everyjhundred cents spent, j Take
time ,in the evening to j cook
enough for breakfast and lunch.
Let the cereals for breakfast cook
during the evening meal. -:
DRINK at least eight glasses
of water a day two of them Just
after rising in the morning. Drink
sparingly while at work. When
overheated, wash out the mouth
with cool water but da not swal
low it. AVOID whiskey, beer
and wine, for the sake of keeping
your head f clear I for earning
money; Moonshine is likely to
cause blindnefispr fatal poison
ing. '".
I FOR DIARRHEA Take a half
day off from work. Lie flat on
your back. "Apply hot water bot
tle or hot clothes to abdomen.
Take no food ' or drink. ; After
pain is gone, drink bqiled milk,
and for next 24 hours use only
broths, and , other liquid foods.
For severe pains in abdomen fol
lowed by nausea, which does not
improve under above treatment,
send for doctor. , .IM
PERSONAL CLEANLINESS
The chief cause of disease in camp
is eating with unwashed hands.
Soap kills many kinds of disease
germs. A shower bath after the
day's work is easy, if you will at
tach to a post a large can with
holes in the bottom for the spray
and open at the. top for receiving
the warm or cold water. "A screen
of sacking gives privacy. Wash
ing - the feet -and -hose each day
and rubbing soap into' hose les
sens the burning of feet during a
job which requires standing. USE
YOUR OWN DRINKING CUP
AND, TOWEL. Keep garbage in
covered -cans and prevent flies.
Use only the toilets provided by
the management. . Be especially
careful about the contamination
of streams. 1
rounds through the eastern end of
the state, he remarked, "65 miles
without seeing a ranch bouse or a
dog to bark at me." In this dis
trict there are 20,000 square miles
given to cattle ranges. Dr. Biard
works under the synod of the
Presbyterian church.
