WEEKLY REVIEW
OF TRADE

Dun's Review, published today by r. |
G.. Dun G. Co., says:
While the weeks Developments in
cluded less notable new demands upon
the leading industries, some increase
in commercial failures and the cessa-
ton of important building operations.
due to trades disputes and not to any
cause disturbing to the outlook. these
have been various favorable features
to add strength to the satisfactory
progress of activities.
The high purchasing power again Is
shown by gain in payments through
the banks. while money remains in
fair absorption for business needs
without retarding the efforts made to
reserve adequate resources for ex-
pected fall requirements of the agri-
culturists and manufacturers. Winter
wheat harvests indicate gratifying re-
suits thus far rains in the northwest
relieved much anxiety as to spring
wheat.
At the same time corn growth in
Illinois and Iowa was benefited by
high temperature The farming condi-
tions as whole afford sustained en-
couragement for future business. al

tinct basis for important commitments
and financing. Retail trade generally
here and in the west was widely slim
uIated by the hot weather and there
has been rapid depletion of seasonable

~ gratifed.
1T was while there that his work
began to attract widespread atten-
ton. and II was during his period of
service there that many of his ideas
in regard to scientific management and
readjustment in school organization
began to take DEFINITE shape. When
Gary looked about for some one equal
tothe task of planning and building a
school system under the peculiar diff
culties to be found here I was glad to
be among those who recommended
Superintendent Writ for this unique
and difficult task. 1t is no surprise that
he has made good and in view of what
have said you will readily understand
why I am glad to be here for the pur-
pose of seeing and evaluating his
achievements"
In giving his opinion of the Gary
school system Dean Burris said
when the work already accomplisha d
is strengthened by features which are
definitely contemplated. you will have
here the most complete, rational, and
Ingenious synthesis of influences

] of many If not most of our pressing
educational problems. Among these
are. How TO make adequate provision

BY EXPLOSION

At 1918 o'clock this morning there
occurred a loud explosion that shook
Gary and the surrounding country
The blast was short and decisive and
without the rumble that accompanies

Many, however. thought that the
Aetna powder mills were on another
rampage. The trouble occurred at No.

works. Molten steel -or Stag coming
in contact with cold water produced
the blast. No one was injured, it is
said.

The flower that on the lonely hillside grows Expects me there when s0r.ng its bloom has given, And many a tree and bush my wandering knows, And cen the silent stars and clouds of heaven, For he who with his Maker walks alright Shall be their lord, as Adam was before. His ear shall catch each sound with new delight, Each object wear the dress that it then wore, And be, as when erect in soul he stood, Hear from his Fathers lip that all Is good.
