Frequent occasion has come to cal
attention to the increasing strength OF
Germany in its industrial aspect
Reading of the condition of the Ger

gest that the nation is in anything but
a state OF disorganized weakness. But
this has been true for months, years
even. and still have come the reports
Of increasing constructive ability.

watch Germany than there is to watch

City Building to Have New
Tile Hat After 40 Years

A new tile roof must be placed on
the city building within a short time,
the City hall commission was told
yesterday afternoon by an expert who
had gone over the entire roof and who
will shortly submit detailed recon-
mendations. The cost of the work
will be between $4,000 and $4,000.
The present roof, which is tile set in
concrete, was placed more than 40

Az VIC grow old, the older yet
Are fewer year by year.

With age of greater span,
For woman as a rule doth reach
A higher age than man.

Upon the upper shelf,

BUSINESS ALL RIGHT

When Roger Babson says business
will have sidewise tendency for the
remainder OF the year." he means that
business is all right. with no boom OF
no depression in sight--just putting
its house in order in a routine sort OF
| way without there being any neces-
sity for thorough housekeeping.
In the summer of last year there
was lot of confidence and activity
as war readjustment was progressing
so well. The patient was getting on
SO nicely, in fact, that he tried to do
bit too much--not strenuous over
exertion, just little too much activi-
ty. There was no relapse into illness
again, but there then came the time
when the patient business, went back
to his easy chair, realizing that he
could not run and take any more
chances just at the moment.
Along the first of 1923 he was very
active, too active,and he had to rest,
getting ready ID resume his work
with his full energy called upon. He
had started lot of things and bust
ness doomed for the first six months
of 1923. When the warm weather
came, about July, the patient let up
in his work. The United States Steel
Corporation, for instance has been
operating at only abouNSo per cent
OF its capacity because 1t finds itself
with less than six million tons Of I'M
filled orders as compared with $685.
600 in June and 7,403 in March of this
year. Building material was way up
in the spring while at present lum-
Der is selling 10 per cent below the
April quotations.
The outlook at present is that sea-
sonable things may strengthen In price
somewhat, but that is about all the
price increase that may be expected, |
ana JndC Will not extend 10 general |
business except as may be expected |
with the changing seasons in COM
affected by the season.
One paragraph of Mr., Babson's let
ter is of especial interest here:
The slackcning of general in
dustrial activities has been due
in a measure to increa scd foreign
competition, This of course has
been felt in the manufacturing
fields and has not as yet reached
the retail trade which Is running
about 15 per cent above a year
= ago The fact that goods are
moving to the consumers in tre-
mendous volume is indicated by
the figures for freight car load
ings, which have continued TO
make new records during the past
three months. In fact, during the
week of September LIST there were
more cars loaded with mcrchan-
disc and sent over the rails than
any previous week in history.
Thus the general conclusion that
nay be reached from this weekly let !
ar is that business is all right-no
reat boom. no depression that will
luse alarm.
