Is not altogether to blame. The bu-
reau OF vital statistics, while renort-
ing there has been a decrease in the

all ngures are available, states this

The other reasons, however. are

Regarding the state of other indus

Chamber of Commerce will issue,
within a short time, a report of its

stated, will show that. while business
in the United States is slack, there is
no underlying or serious cause. Peo-

this, failed to make preparations. This
resulted in overstocking generally,

BABY BUS INDUSTRY HIT
BLOW BY DROWSYS STORK
Demand for Infants Carriages Cvt in Half;
Drop in Birth Rate Giuen as
One of Many Reasons.

Demand for baby carriages-vehicles
for future statesmen. soldiers and hod-
carriers-has fallen off SO per cent in
the last six months. and of the nations
industries the manufacture Of baby
carriages is said to be the most
seriously affected by the present So
called "stagnation' in the business
world.
This information comes from the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
which has just completed a survey of
business conditions in the United
States. Reported suffering on the part
of the nations industries led the
chamber to send questionnaires to
every representative industry in the
United States. The result, briefly put,
is that manufactures as a whole are
in good condition. with the exception
of the baby carriage industry.
Thereby hangs this tale.
Demand for baby carriages has de-
creased so per cent in the last six
months. A business cut in half Is
in pretty serious straits, and the busi-
ness of making baby carriages Is no
exception to the rule. The reasons
given by the manufactures are that
| the birth rate decreased 35 per cent
| last year; housing conditions every
where are poor; domestic help is hard
| to secure and home economy has cut
the baby carriage item from the
| family expense account.

IN FIRST BARRAGE
OUTSIDE HIS FORT
Faces Uphill Fight Before
Critical West Virginia
Crowds, But Scores.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

WHEELING, w. Va, August 10
Gov. Cox's first effort outside his own
state was perhaps characteristic of
his whole campaign-it was uphill.
The first audience-the democratic
state convention of West Virginia
can be dismissed without much COM
ment. The partisans assembled liked
the speech and the speaker. cheered
him and came away cheered over
their aggressive leader. The second
audience, gathered out of doors at
night on the grassy slope that forms
a sort of natural bleachers at the
river front, was made up of repub-
licans as well as democrats.
1t was an average crowd. Gov. Cox's
his audience and talked a language
they fully understood. 1t was a typ
iCal Jimmy" Cox speech, which
means that he told the crowd they
could continue to call him Jimmy"
if he were elected President, and that
President; that he wasn't fighting
Harding personally. whom he re-
spected and admired, but fighting his
record in public life and the party
that nominated him at Chicago and
that performance counted $4,000
theme enabled the governor to define
in elementary terms why he regarded
Harding as reactionary and himself
as progressive
Gets Real Cheers.
The Ohio governor talked about the
new constitution in Ohio and how the
poor man used to be denied justice
and how injured workmen were un-
able to get compensation through the
courts. He told how Harding fought
the adoption Of the new constitution
and how he, Governor Cox, won the
fight in a referendum by an over
whelming majority. then he discus
sed his own methods of dealing with
industrial troubles and declared
proudly that he had not cast single
soldier into a labor controversy. that
the state militia had not fired single
shot or pointed a single bayonet to
settle a strike. And when the COVER
nor asked his audience to inquire Of
any employer in Ohio if property had
Been preserved, or if any employe of
the state had done him violence, or of
any justice of the supreme court If
the majesty of the law had been up
held. there were real cheers.
For they have their fill of industrial
troubles in the West Virginia coal
fields, and even the democratic COVER
nor of the state isn't any too popular
with labor.
The audience was far more interest

MAKES HIMSELF
HUMAN LADDER
ANDSA VESSEVEN

By the Associate Press.
NEW YORK, August 16.-Fire, which
threatened the lives of seven tenement
dwellers, supplied the opportunity for
Louis Fischer to display heroism that
today promised his reinstatement in the
fire department. from which he was dis
charged eight months ago for fighting
his battalion chief.
When a fire company arrived at the
fire last night. Fischer was already on
the roof with the seven stranded in
habitants. The ladder put up for their
escape lacked just Tischler's length of
reaching the ledge. He swung himself
down to the first rung, clutched the
ledge with his hands. allowed the des-
perate seven-including a 20O-pound
woman-to climb down to safety over
his body, then juggled himself to the
ladder and calmly climbed down.
