MAvs ADOPT MEMORIAL
By Paul Mallon
(Copyright. 1935, bv Paul Mallon.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. The back
ground behind the current business
Improvement appears to be solid.
There are no sen
sational seasonal
surges In partic
ular lines to make
them stand out
temporarily like
roses In October.
Nor are there
quicksands and
holes marking
laga and declines.
The bas relief
map of business
is smoother than
at any time since
the depression
PAUL MALLON
started. It appears to have balance
and strength beyond any discernible
In five years.
At least this Is the obvious con
clusion from the government's own
business chart, which attempts to
balance business like a carpenter's
level.
The chart Indicates Industrial pro
duction now Is around 01 per cent
normal, which Is Just about the same
relation to normality existing last
January. But what Is different now
is that, since January, factory em
ployment has Improved from 80 to
83; payrolls from 64 to 74; depart
ment store sales 73 to 82; building
07 to 43: prices 78.8 to 80.6.
In simple words, the basis for fur
ther Improvement has been laid. Big
ger payrolls mean the people will
have more money to buy. When this
factor is coupled with a brisk im
provement in store sales, a five
months strong rise in residential
building and firmer prices, It means
that all the current business uplift
stories really have something behind
them at last.
The trend since the first of the
year, and earlier comparative figures,
may be traced in the chart which
follows. Bach figure represents the
percentage of normality existing at
the times stated. Normal is the aver
ages for 1923-25, except for prices,
which are based on 1926. Each Is
seasonally adjusted.

troduces Fish Sale Bill
SALEM, Oct. 30. (AP) The house ,
of the Oregon legislature, with every !
neraber present, today voted 36 to 24 ,
for adoption of the Townsend old age
pension memorial after a debate in ;
which proponents urged the leglsla-1
ture to memorialize congress for en
actment of house resolution 7154.
The memorial was Introduced by
Representatives Harrison, Nelson,
Halght. and Johnson and Senators
Burke and Spauldtng. The proposal
now goes to the senate.
At the regular session the first of
the year the house, by an overwhelm
ing majority passed a memorial for an
adequate pension for persons over 60
years of age, but the proposal died In
senate committee. The vote here to
day was closer than proponents had
anticipated. -
Attempt to Table
The memorial requested passage of
HR7154, known as the Towwend plan,
"providing for the general welfare of
the United States by supplying to the
people a more liberal distribution and
increase of purchasing power, retiring
certain citizens from active gainful
employment, improving and stabiliz
ing gainful employment for other
citizens, stimulating agricultural and
Industrial production and general
business, and alleviating the hazards
and Insecurity of old age; to provide
a method whereby citizens shall con
tribute to the purchase of and receive
a retirement annuity."
. Prior to vote upon tho memorial
Representative Parrell's motion to
table the proposal was lost by a 35 to
25 vote. Representatives Charles
Leach of Portland and Walter Norblad
of Astoria stated they voted against
the move because they believed It was
not an emergency act and should not
have been presented to the special
session.

10 LATE CROPS
PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 30. (UP)
Icy . weather gripping the Pacific
northwest the past few days has not
extensively damaged crops as yet, a
survey showed today.
Damage to the tall-end of late
fruit and vegetable harvests will run
into thousands of dollars, but only
continued severe cold would cause
major loss, crop estimate afflctals of
the department of agriculture office
here stated.
However, wind In Wenatchee dis
trict orchards caused an estimated
$300,000 loss. The Klamath district
of southern Oregon reported frost
and snow cut the potato crop about
10 per cent. Little damage was report
ed in other potato areas.-
Slight damage to the winter wheat
crop was expected. Crop experts said
snow which fell recently would pro
tect the crop over large areas of east
ern Oregon and Washington and only
continual freezing and fast thawing
which would cause "heaving" of the
land would rip the tender roots and
result In substantial damage.
Several thousand carloads of apples
remained on the trees or In the or
chards In the Wenatchee and Yakima
districts of Washington, but If the
thaw Is gradual little damage will
resilt. It was predicted.
Continued sub-freezing tempera
tures would harm the last of the ap
ple crops there and In the upper areas
of the Hood River section where
blanket of snow offered some protec
tion.
Only a few thousand boxes of ap
pies remained un harvested In' the
Rogue river valley and all pears were
In. A grape grower at O rants Pass
estimated about 30 per cent of the
Josephine county crop was lost by
early frosts last week. However, the
major crops there escaped damage.

peMscope. By squeezing the bulb be
pumps air inside the body.
The air pressure makes an open
space for better seeing, throughout
the field of the periscope. Actually
the bulb furnishes a set of air fin
gers which help to move the inter
nal organ for detailed examination.
The organs readily examined by
this method Include stomach, kid
neys, liver, gall bladder, peritoneum,
omentum, ovaries and uterus.
The first objective of actually see
ing the Internal conditions is to
avoid major operations when they
would be dangerous. Among the
conditions quickly revealed by the
periscope are cirrhosis of the liver,
suspected tuberculosis, peritonitis and
early ectopic pregnancies. This Is a
preimsney very dangerous to mothers,
unless diagnosed and treated early
It Is often Impossible to recognlre
early by previous diagnostic methods
The periscope can also be used to
see the inside of the stomach, not
