Department of Commerce Finds Much
- Encouragement.
Vast Improvement in prices Of agri-
cultural products in recent weeks
shows a fundamental change in bus
ness conditions which are gradually
returning to normal, according to the
Department of Commerce.
The departments survey of current
business shows that there is a marked
Improvement over the conditions few
months ago.
The survey reports conditions up to
March 20. 1t reveals that, with the
exception of tobacco, all farm products
have gained. Livestock has increased
in price from 40 to 70 per cent, wool
2S per cent. Minor cereals show sub
stantial gains during February and the
first two weeks of March.
Cotton consumption Is now 20 per
cent. larger than year ago.
The iron and steel output was in
creased during February, the survey
shows. Prices are still low and in
many cases below the pre-war level
| Pig-iron production in February
amounted to 100000 tons, as com
pared to $4,000 tons in February,
1921. The daily average production
of 1924 tons was the highest since
February, 1921. For the first time in
twelve months steel ingot production
passed the 100000 mark.
The untitled orders of the U. S.
Steel Corporation showed further
decline Of 100000 tons, giving a
total at the end of February Of 4,141,-
600 tons. This. was interpreted as in
dicating an. increa5e in the corpora =
tion's operations rather than any un-
favorable trend in the Industry. i
Coal production has been abnormal
| ~ large, it was stated, because of the
strike threat. Prices were slightly
lower in. February. The output OF
bituminous coal was 100000 tons
greater than in January.
II In the building trades, despite the
short month, contracts awarded In
| the twenty-seven northeastern states
during February were valued at s177,-
$685. 900, an increase of s11,ooo,0oO over
January. IS
Unemployment conditions are re-
ported improved, with marked IN
crease. in weekly earnings, indicat-
ing that mills are running more hours
per week. ....... Il.
Wholesale prices increased slightly
with rise of 10 points in the index
number Of farm products. The move
ment of the stock market was up
ward. Sales on the New York Stock
Exchange for February totaled 49,
1S5,OoO shares, as compared with TO-
147 900 a year ago. .. Es
| Foreign trade, however, continued to
decline, with a total of $251 100000 for
the month as compared with $4S6,oOo.-
600 in February, 1921. This Is the
lowest value for American export

into the open, and, holding high the
weapon, passed through the frownlng
line Of watching women. He gave them
but a flashing disdainful glance, and
when he turned around, Polly Hopkins
was standing in the door, motioning
the women into the shack. He came
to a direct halt and shouted at her:
"Ill never offer money again, but
out you'll all go, II have to burn your
huts about your heads" a,gr

him no heed but ushered woman after

to me-" -.
Then she told them that Robert Per-
ciyal had said the squatters should
stay in the settlement. She said she
had had a promise from man better
than Old Marc that he would help
them. And thus she brought smiles
back to the faces of her miserable
friends; and MS they went away, each
woman kissed her. and each man rev.
erently placed his hand on her curly

WEEK IS OBSERVED
May Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would anguish in a day. and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow mindedness thrive.
It is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests of greater num-
Der Of men and women than any other
Institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread. touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
tiutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations
postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign Of its kind in the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
ton Of 100000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
OF interest in postal improvements.
Your help is vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don't abbreViate. Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and always look at your letter before
dropping in the mail to see if it is
properly addressed. This care in the
use of the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mail matter.
IT you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

MARC0Nl REALLY
FATHER OF RADIO
Story of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development of Air
Communication.

Wnlle experiments along the line
OF radio really started as far back as
1871 and hundreds of scientists were
Interested in solving the problems in
volyed for many years, it was not I'M
til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo
Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery Of air communication got
it's first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his
tory of radio communication.
SenatOre Guglielmo Marconi, G. c..
Y. o., L. L. D., Disc. M. l. E. E., was
born in Bologna, Italy, April %, 1874
His mother was Irish, while his father
was of a family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After an edu-
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem Of wireless telegraphy, start
ing his research in 1895. He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for a practical
system of wireless telegraphy, by the
use of electric waves. His early ex-
periments in England were made at
Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. H. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials of the postOffice. Some
further experiments were made in
May, 1897, in the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
lished between Lavernock and Brean
Down, distance of nine miles.
On the invitation of the Italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where a land station was
erected, which was kept in constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from a distance of
II miles. For this success the Ital-
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor of knighthood. After
return to England further expert
ments were conducted and on July 20,
1897. the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt
ability to which the system lends it

Golden Pennies.

Sir Robert Horne's forecast 0f a
return of the gold sovereign to com
mon circulation may recall that the
first regular gold piece struck in
England was-a penny! This became
part of the currency in 1857, and
weighed about 40 grains, being the
equivalent of 20 of the contemporary
silver pennies. It's prototype was the
benant, a gold piece belonging to
Byzantium, which had been current
for centuries, but the English penny
was far better executed coin than
it's original. 1t appeared but once
in our coinage and only two or three
examples have survived. No one in
England will be sorry for the disap-
pearance of the paper currency Of war
times.-Montreai Family Herald.
