INDUSTRY ON
THE UPGRADE
NATIONS BUSINESS RECOVERY
NOT RAPID BUT 1T IL SURE.
EXPERTS SAY.

New York, Sept. 19.-Business is
behginning to pick up in nearly ev-
cry important ENTHUSIASTICALLY but
surely
This is the conviction of leading
New York bankers, based on reports
from every part of the country.
The Improvement il partly due TO
the usual fall picking up. But it
also appears certain that general bus
mess began definite upward climb
July Is when the steel industry hit
bottom and started crawling out of
the depths.
Recovery will not be rapid, experts
agree.
Business depression started in
May, 1920, with the collapse of the
silk market The collapse rapidly
spread to other industries.
Hard times have lasted 16 months.
The end finally seems in sight.
Four out of every five freight
ears on American railroads are now
hauling freight. IdlD cars are de-
creasing steadily
Latest figures on car loadings are
for week dated Aug 81. when rail-
roads loaded 829.709 cars with
freight For several weeks. car load
ings have averaged only Is per cent
less than the corresponding period OF
1919, the boom year.
Business, the country over. now is
only Is per cent below normal, ac-
cording TO a national survey by Sey-
mour L. Andrews, chief statistician
of the American Telephone g. Tele-
graph company.
This shows business is getting out
of the woods, for depression does not
become acute until business is II per
cent below normal Two months
ago. business was off 25 to 40 per
cent
Foreign trade gaining. For every
II tons of exports in July, 1913, the
United States now is exporting ll3
tons, says the federal reserve board 8
| foreign trade index.
Bradstreet's agency reports that
wholesale prices in August advanced
on the average. for the third success
sibe month. The gain has been
slight. Doesn't mean any material
price advance is in prospect. Merely
shows that manufacturers have
enough orders in sight that they feel
safe in sounding out the market.
Copper, the most stagnant indus
try, has pickup that is stiffenine
prices.
Building outlook is better. Ship
ments of Portland cement about 96
per cent as big as year ago. Lum-
Der trade on Pacific coast improves
also other sections Thirteen more
lumber mills opened up in week end
ing Aug. 27, bringing total of operat-
ing mills to 389.
| Farm outlook improves. Cotton
price scars. forecasting prosperity for
the south. Big wheat exports in Au-
gust broke the record of October
1920. More than half of the money
received from total exports now i
for farm products.
Business failures, first week il
September, only 80. against 395 the
week before.
Bank clearings, Ginning steadily
now are more than twice as big as IN
1915.
Unemployment is not as acute al
| it was a month ago.

Preparing for Marriage Means
Different Thing to Every Bride

| We have waded far into June, the
month Of brides and Of hope chests
This is the month when the girl who is
TO be married soon gives her snowy linen
final pat and goes TO take another peep
at her rousseau
1 But ii is not only the girl who is TO
be married soon, who is planning a
hope chest. The one who is engaged
and the one who hasn't even found the
perfect lover think fondly Of piles OF
snowy linen ready for the little house.
The hope chest is NOT an Invocation.
Through almost countless ages there has
been a custom Of preparation on the
part Of the bride--a token Of the impor-
tance Of the union, rejecting a though,
and dignity for the new position. In
Poland no girl is allowed 10 marry un-
til she has made with her own hands
certain siuffs and some clothing for her
future husband. Such a ruling would
work hardship on American girls but
nearly all Of them want to do some
thing toward the furnishing of the new
home.
POOR BRIDE ASKS FOR GIFTS
For many years in parts Of Europe
there existed a practice that is still re-
sorted to by the poor Of Scotland to pro-
cure furnishings for the new home by
deed Of gift. The conveyance in which
the bride journeyed to her new home
lent its name to the practice, which was
called a ~bride-wain.' In this wagon,
or vain, the bride made a pilgrimage
through the village, collecting money
and any article Of furniture, that could
be had toward the furnishing of the
new abode.
The modern girl would blush to ride
to her friends in vain on such
mission but she not infrequently trusts
to the generosity Of friends to supply
The requisites Of linen and other house.
hold necessities, which giving, unless
properly directed results in a miscel-
laneous assortment of beautiful but ua-
servicable articles or else an abundance
Of decorative things instead Of the es-
seniials that mean a daily comfort and
pleasure.
For the little house for Two, with per-
hapsa guest room, the following quan-
fity Of household linens can be made
sufficient: ten sheets. eight pillow cases.
three spreads, two blankets. two com
forts, twelve handtowels. six bathiowels.
six guesuOwels, twelve washclOths,
twelve dishcloths, six glasstowels. four
tsblecloths, twenty-four dinner napkins, |
two sets tea napkins. four centerpieces.
two buffet scarfs. four dresser scarfs,
and two bath mais If an initial is used |
in marking the linen it should be the 1
initial letter of the brides last name.
The nien Of America may be glad, !
however, that they do not live in lap |

Postmaster General
Hayes Reports Big
Department Deficit
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Dec. S-Pointing to
continued deficits in his department
Postmaster General Hays, in his first
annual report to the President, made
public today, declares that "if the
present gauge of expenditures shall
continue there should be such a re-
adjustment of postage rates as will,
together with the effects of increas-
ing volume of business, produce suf-
fcient revenue approximately to
meet it."
Mr.. Hays makes no specific rec
concentrations as to the suggested
adjustments, and declares emphati-
cally that "if it were question be-
tween the best practical service on
the one hand, and a poorer service
with revenue meeting cost, on the
other hand, decision should be resell
we'd in favor of rendering the service
He adds that the department should
not be conducted for a profit, but
that it need not ultimately be run at
a loss.
Revenues of the Postal Service for
the fiscal year ended last June, Mr..
Hays says, totalled $463 ,491,2 74, an
increase of $26,341 ,062 over the re-
ceipts of the preceding fiscal year
Balanced against this were audited
expenditures of $62O,993,673 with the
total audited deficiency at $157,517,-
G88.
The material increase in the def
cheney over that for 1920 Mr.. Hays
states, is due to large increases Of
expenditures in two principal items
without any corresponding increase
in the revenues. The two principa
items are $76,13O,3O1 for increased
compensation to railroads on the ba
sis of an order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, restdactivt
to November l, 1916, and Sal, 1885, 900
for added compensation allowed pos
tai employees by Congress.
