The Weather Forecast: Fair tonight and Friday, but with tog; not quite so cold tonight. TEMPER ATI RE Highest yesterday 58 Lowest this morning - -. 44 I OTP Ig, M W littl&lrl&li By Paul Mallon Copyright, 1936. by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Jan. SO. The whopping year-end business figures handed out officially during the last few days are a little too good. For Instance. the federal re serve board haa Just announced that December Industrial pro duction was 103 per cent of uor mal. That Is probably correct, but It may be entirely mislead ing. What It means Is that the year e n d Industrial PAUL MALLON output was a per cent greater than the average Decembers of 1923, 192 and 1825. And the reason Is that certain major Industries have chang ed their seasons since then; to wit. automobiles, which in turn draw on steel, glass, textiles. It does not mean this country has yet reached a planned level of nor mal production, It Is Just a season al quirk. ' A more accurate line on things can be obtained from the yearly averages covering all seasons. If you will trace these on the following chart you will find that Industrial output for 1938 was BO per cent of the averages for 1023, 1924 and 1925. That marks four years of progress from the depths of 1932, when In dustry was down to 64 per cent. There Is every expert reason to ex peot that this year may continue the upward progresss. although the In dustrial production figure will prob ably ease off for a few months. The reason: declining auto production, with Its effect on steel: glass, etc. The seasonal splurge of December will work In reverse during the com ing months. r All figures In the following chart are based on 1923-1925 as 100, except prlcess. which are based on 1926. Each thus tends to represent the percent age of normality existing at the times stated. , . (Continued on Pago Five) .FOREST HIGHWAY PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. 30.

(AP) Busi ness analysts are convinced that building operations will play a major part In shaping the 1936 Industrial curve. Most of them believe capital ex penditures for construction this year will heavily exceed the figures of 1035. and thus help to lift business activity to a considerably higher re covery peak than was registered last year.
