GERMANS TRADE
BOON AIDS IDLE
Percentage of Unemployment
Now Very Low Despite
Financial Crisis.

BERLIN. Dec. 15-German trade
is booming II began in the early
summer and has increased by leaps
and bounds. Unemployment has de-
creased. In October II was three
per cent per thousand, now it is less
than one per cent.
That's how the trade situation IS
summarized in the monthly report
f the Prussian minister Of trade.
If the manufacturers have a
kick" the report goes on TO say. 'it
is the fact that the supply Of coal
and raw materials is totally made
quate 10 meet the demands"
The boom began" the report
AYERS, Gin early summer and contin-
ued with rapidly increasing activ-
ity. This not only applies 10 home
sales but also 10 the export trade.
THE whole OF the manufacturers
have more work than they can rea-
sonably cope with.
THE boom in general far exceeds
the boom that existed in 1920.
This prosperity has called great ac-
tivity in the capital market. The
amount OF new capital raised in Oc-
tober was 2.S88,79O marks, which is
nearly double the amount raised in
September and is half a million
more than raised in any other month
Of the year.
Metals and Textiles Lead.
"The greatest capital issues were
in the metal machine and textile in
dustry. which led the boom. The
greatest stagnation was in the dye
branches. That was due 10 the fact
that the home buying interests were
low and the foreign dye industries
finding new foundations; also the
embargo placed upon the importa-
ton of German dyes into foreign
countries.
"All the metal markets are par
ticularly firm, with the prices rising.
There is a difficulty in persuading
the manufacturers TO accept new or
ders. The smelling and rolling mills
have taken on new hands, but they
are somewhat hampered by trans
port difficulties and the coal short
age.
The official iron industry syndi-
cate last month raised the prices
both OF pig iron and rolling mill pro
ducts, but material is hardly to be
had at the official prices and the
condition of the rolling mill material
market is the same as that of the
stock exchange. where all are buy
ing and where the insufficient supply
has 10 be ratloned.

fusal by rolling mill owners to ac-
cept orders.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
Impossible to Get Light From Wax Candle Without the Presence of
 Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is a gas torch, You will find that when you apply a lighted match to the wick of a candle 1t will not light readily. You have to hold the match to the wick until the wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax hot enough to turn it into gases which. on mixing with the oxygen in the air, produce the fire in the form of light.
 The candle will continue to be lighted and to burn as long as the wax continues hot enough to give off the gases or until the candle is en- tirely consumed. Any interruption to this process of transforming the wax into gas will result in the eXtinguish- ing of the light.
 The reason the candle goes out when you blow on the flame is that the gases which feed the flame at the end of the wick are blown away, the process of turning the hot wax Into gas is interrupted and with the gas supply shut off the flame is ex- guished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FLYER SETS NEW ALTITUDE MARK AVIATOR WAS ONE HOUR AND FORTY-SEVEN MINUTES
 IN THE AIR.
GOES UP EIGHT MILES
GLIDES TO SAFETY WHEN MOTOR FAILS AFTER SETTING NEW
 WORLD RECORD.
(western Newspaper Union News Service.)

Dayton, OhiO.-Lieut John A. Mac Ready, test pilot at McCoOk field shattered the worlds altitude record attaining height of 4O,SOO feet in the same La Pere biplane used by Ru. dOlph C. Shredder, who set a record of 3S,1SO feet Feb, 2S, 1920.
 Lieutenant MacReady was in the air one hour and forty seven minutes, requiring all but few minutes of the total flying time to reach his mark. At 39OO0 feet ice formed on his Oxy- gen tank, but he pressed on until the altimeter registered 40,S00 feet At this point his engine died. He then gliGed safely down.
 MacReady's new record is 2,620 feet higher than that of ShrOeder, and in the flight the pilot suffered none of the hardships met by the former chief test pilot. ShrOeder's eyeballs froze and excessive dilatiOn of the heart kept him in a hospital nearly two weeks.
 This flight primarily was to test improvements made on the super charger invented by $. A. Moss, who witnessed the flight, and also a new propeller of high pitch, perfected by engineers at the local field.
 Capt. G. S. E. A. Hallet, chief of mechanical designing, and Moss pre- pared the plane for flight, and every precautiOn was taken to provide auxiliary oxygen tanks for the pilot.
 On landing MacReady declared he suffered nothing but numbness. He climbed out of the plane unassisted.
 Accumulation of ice on the plane at 5000 feet caused one oxygen tank to cease functiOning, but auxiliary tanks were brought into use Mac Ready was clothed in heavy furs with special helmet and goggles covered with special gelatine. The suit was electrically heated.
 A centrifugal air compressor Oper- ated by a gas turbine forms the super charger which made the flight pos sible. The turbine derives it's power from the exhaust gas of the Liberty motor on the ship, and air thus com pressed is fed to the carburetor at the same pressure as air at sea level.
 The biplane was designed in Janu- ary, 1918, by Captain La Pere, a French aviator, while working under direction of the United States govern ment.

Auntie, thinking that he might be able to persuade her on this occasion, secretly informed him of the affair. and then when Ruth came into the room mentioned the fact that she wished her niece to have her hair bObbed. He took the cue, and immediately told of how thick 1t made hair to have it bobbed. Ruth listened a minute and then looked at auntie's mass of pinned-on curls.
