Barnes predicted that next year will see further rise in earnings by small manu facturers. He said the competi tive position of small business has been strengthened and "the extremely low rate of business failures is also a good sign for the future." Here is a sampling from the major industry report: Time er; David, 7; Mrs. Eisenhower; the President, holding Susan, 3; Mrs. Barbara Eisenhower, and Barbara Ann, 6. The newest grandchild, Mary Jean, remained in the Walter Reed hospital.

Automobiles and trucks Auto output first six months ex pected to hit 4.250,000 compared with the record of 4,227,000 in the first half of this year.

Construction Estimated spending in 1956 on all new construe t i o n $44,000,000,000, five per cent above 1955's record S42,000,000,000.

Machinery A five to 10 per cent rise in dollar volume of farm machinery sales expected, reflecting price increases. In crease in unit sales "doubtful" during first six months. Lumber Output, expected to set a record this year, may drop off about two per cent during first six months of 1956. Consumer durable goods sales in first six months ex pected to "equal or slightly ex ceed" record 1955 rate. Meanwhile, the Federal Re serve Bulletin reported that de spite the record growth of con sumer credit this year rising incomes have kept the debt bur den from becoming too heavy. London Police Probe Railway Accidents ( London (U.R) Police today pushed an investigation into a "deliberate" sabotage attempt against the government - owned railways, plagued by a month long series of crashes and acci dents that have killed 24 per sons and injured more than 180. Saboteurs were blamed for cutting the main Bradford to S k i p t o n line at Charleston. Yorkshire, Tuesday. A track walker found a heap of ballast sand on the main line at one point and lengths of unbolted rails at another. The bolts were missing and police said "it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the line."

'U.R) Oliva Dionne. father of the quintu plets, said today the four sur viving quints have broken away from their home in Callander, and there was "no use" camou flaging the fact. Dionne said the girls did not send their parents a Christmas card, or call them on the tele phone, or write them about their Christmas plans. The girls spent Christmas in Montreal. Dionne said he and Mrs. Di onne had realized for several months that the girls had been drifting away from the family. He blamed the separation on what he called "intruders," but he refused to identify the so called "intruders." It was the first time that the quints had not spent Christmas with their family. Is That So? Despite man's proneness to feel superior to the animals about him, in many ways they far outdo him thanks to their incredibly keen senses. Con sider: Taste: Many of us add a heap ing teaspoonful of sugar to our coffee to make it taste sweet. Of course, our taste buds are not that dull. But in tests, it has been estimated that the average human can detect sweetness of sugar only if the solution ex ceeds one part of sugar to 200 parts of mixer. Brother, that's a long way from the taste delica cy of flies. Some can detect the presence of sugar when it is only 1 part in 40,000! But think nothing of that, many butter flies can detect sugar when it is only one part in 300,000. And the butterfly has its tasting or gans in the feet. Hearing: A keen-eared human can hardly catch a wrist watch ticking at four feet. An average dog can hear the ticking well at 40 feet. Heat sense: A human does re markably well if he can notice a temperature change of five degrees. But pit vipers, who de rive their name from the paired little pits in their facial struc tures, are much more sensitive. In a laboratory experiment it was found that if two light bulbs were presented, these rattle snakes would invariably strike the warmer one. Even when the difference was only two-tenths of one degree centigrade. Time sense:. Without looking up, guess right now what time it is. Now ask the person next to you. How far off were you? Fifteen minutes? That's not bad. But a honey bee could " have done better. In an experiment conducted in England, food was put out for honeybees at a regu lar hour each day and the bees soon learned to come flying in from countryside at a regular feeding hour. They were seldom more than five minutes off! Smell: Suppose wou were to catch a female of one of our large moths and hold it an inch from your nose. Do you think you could detect a faint odor enough to differentiate it from any other species? I doubt it. But what of the male moth's sense of smell? Put that female on the inside of an open window screen and wait a little while. Presently, there will be a great clustering of males on the screen, drawn as if by a magic magnet. Experimenting with some of these larger moths, scientists have found that male moths re leased a mile away would find their females. And if the wind sat in the right direction, even three miles away. Strictly by smell. And not only could these males always come to the right species and there are hundreds of species but also those males could detect at that distance :V BUSINESS DIRECTORY Transportation HEAVY HAULING Rent a truck from PIONEER TRUCK RENTALS 3230 N.

In Montreal, the Star report ed that Marie and Annette had taken an apartment in the west end of the city and that Yvonne and Cecile joined them there during the Christmas weekend. Dionne said the quints had also cut their brothers and sis ters off their Christmas card mailing list this year. "In fact," he said, "lately they have been treating their brothers and sisters almost with contempt." Yvonne burst into tears and denied her father's statements about a rift. The Star quoted Yvonne as saying "Donf believe it, it's not true." She said she and her sisters had sent a Christmas card home and added, "Is it our fault if they didn't get it."

Revenue Agents To Assist Taxpayers Washington i(U.R) Internal Revenue agents will fill out in come tax forms for puzzled tax payers next year after all. Also, taxpayers will get all the government help they need in figuring out for themselves how much they owe the govern ment. T.
