ELIMINATION OF WEAK
INDUSTRIES GOING ON
New York. June 27.— (I. N. 8.)—
The elimination of the weak and the
unfit from industry is now under
j way on an extensive scale, according
to the Garfield National Bank, which
says;
"There is no blinking the fact
.that many industries are geared to
u higher speed than the country
. can maintain. The elimination of
what the economist term» the mar-
ginal producer,' the one who can
! make a fa'lr profit only when de-
' maud Is at the peak and profit mar-
I 1 gains the highest. Is under way. In
¡this is to be found the explanation
of the continued high totals in the
business mortality columns.

have cleared awgy the debris from
'the 1921 crash, but there still are
many concerns which cannot make
| both ends meet under present rondi-

Redding. Cal., June 27.—Requests
from all parts ot California and the
Northwest are being received here
for information on the condition of
the state highway north of the city
where construction work is in pro­
gress.
As the result of a trip made over
the section in question this week the
following report is made on coi.di-
tions:
The first three miles north of
Redding is good graveled road:
then two miles of country road in
good condition; then nine miles of
detour—dusty ‘but easily passable.
Then there is a stretch of about a
mile and a half of the new paved
road Just opened, which eliminates
the worst part of the old detour.
Next is ten miles of construction,
which is a little rough, but is wide
and there are no bad grades. This
is closed from 10 p. m. to 7 a. m.
Then on past Bayha to past Half
