WE WONDER

Why Doc Cook didn't put in a
claim for discovering the May
pole.
When baldheaded man knows
where to leave off washing his
face.
Why most women dry the dish
es and let their hands get chafed.
If the fellows who pose for
these garter ads don't wear golf
suits.
If a baseball umpire sleeps IN
his cap.
If there1l eyer be a law agains:
allowing women in the kitchen.

HEAVY VOLUME SHOWN BY FIG-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Produc- tion and shipment of general mer- chandise and manufactures continued in heavy volume during June and July. A summary of general busi- ness and financial conditions made public today by the federal reserve board also revealed that the sustain ed high level of production had been reflected in the volume of employ ment and in many instances advances in wages.
 Wholesale commodity prices de cliued to some extent in the six wccns ending June b, the reduction being carried in some lines into the retail trade and the holding of banl; CTS securities by tho reserve banks were shown to be lower than at any tine in more than year
 A further decline Iii the value of building permits granted in the prin cipal cities was cited n the summary but awards of contracts representing actual undertakings inc"e4@,.i
 Slight increases in employment h:.ve accompanied the industrial ac tivity in most lines, according to the boards reports. The advances were most marked in the cotton. steel meat packing and sugar refining in dusiries.
 The condition of both winter and spIins wheat was regarded as less ia yoTable than a year ago, and . muc. smaller acreage will be planted.

culture appropriation of the last
congress.
The huge total of un~opIlgated bal
ances which. when matched by like
funds in the various states, represents
between six and eight thousand miles
of first-class highways. has accrued
for one reason oniy-that is. the
states to which they are due have
made no provision for obtaining
them, with the result that many
states are still hub deep in mud where
there should be nrst-cR-ss roads,
travelable the year round. Where
federal aid monies are to be expended
on highways. a like sum must be
raised by each state. Failure to raise
these sums in the various states has
resulted in the funds running in
active. The whole principle of. fed
eral aid is explained by saying that
IL n state will build one mile of road,
federal aid funds will build another
mile.

is bending its efforts to the erect that
the states to which these funds are

now controls railroads, will be sought
by Senator j. w. Harreld.
That the independents produce
nearly so per cent Of the oil is a fact
today. the senator states, but the
Standard. because of its virtual pipe
| ne monopoly could control the bust
ness even II it never produced a drop
of oil, simply because it is almost in
position to say who shah get oil to
market and who shall not.
The attitude of Senator Harreld has
been strengthened by recent disclos-
ures made in connection with an in
vestigation by a senate subcommittee
on manufactures into the source,
supply. handling, price. etc, OF gaso-
line. The report of this sub-com-
mIttee suggested remedies possible
only through legislation. and senator
Harreld. basing his view upon his
own investigation OF the subject aud
his personal knowledge of oil pro.
duction. is getting ready to jump into
the fray with a remedy Of his own.
The progress of the investigation
was reported by the n. NJ. A. at he
time and the situation which the re-
port disclosed had therefore been an
tlcipated by the motorists Of the
country.
