Waiting is still the rule in not a few
quarters. though in the main business is
rather less hesitant and the advancing
season is calculated to stimulate those
branches which have experienced the
usual summer hating with lower temper
atures. Working conditions are also bet
ter, but the enlargement of manufacture
ing capacity does not in all classes IN
sure augmented outputs. for the labor
problem grows more difficult with the
draft in operation, and even where sup
plies of raw materials are adequate the
obstacles in transportation not infre-
quently impede their movement to points
of destination. That many of the mills
and factories continue to run actively
on previous orders, and will be thus en-
gagged for some time to come is generally
known yet of new contracts from regular
channels there are fewer on the whole,
and purchasing as the necessity arises
stands out as a more prominent feature,
not only in the East but also in the West
and South.

GROW POTATOES FROM SEED
Experts of University of Washington
Use White Fruiting Berry Which
Has Almost Disappeared.

In an effort to restore the old-fash-
toned potato seed, an experiment is
being made in the garden of the Uni
versity of Washington. The white
fruiting berry of the potato, which was
found everywhere a generation ago
and has now almost disappeared, was
used to plant a patch, and the fruit
ing potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der of potato tubers in the usual way
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
in seeking to produce potato seed
again is that crossing Of strains can
be secured in this way, leading to u
more wholesome condition of the plant
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertiliza-
ton, and the same strain of potato
will in time give out.
The experiment is being conducted
under the direction of Assistant Prof
John w. Hotson Of the department OF
botany.

Boy Builds Locomotive.

A miniature railroad locomotive,
complete in every detail, which has at
tracted the attention Of the railroad Of
ficials of several Pacific coast lines,
Is the handiwork Of Il boy living in
Portland, Ore.
The tiny locomotive, only 45 inches
in length, was built to test new in
vention of his on a fire box. 1t is OPP
Grated by steam, generated by oil fuel,
and is equipped with airbrakes, an
interior throttle and reverse levers and
gears.
The engineering department Of the
Southern Pacific company borrowed
the model and figured out its weight,
power, and all other statistics in the
same manner that they would figure on
full-siZed locomotive. To their sur
prise, they found that the tiny engine
developed one-quarter horsepower, and
on level track had hauling capacity
Of one and quarter tons.
