HUGE GAINS REPORTED
IN DOMESTIC INDUSTRIE.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-(By
Associated Press Enormous eX-
pansion in American industries since
the pre-war period is indicated by
the value of their products in 1921 as
compared with the value in 1914.
The total value for some was quad
rupled, for others tripled and for
many doubled in the seven year
period, according to preliminary sta
tistics of the 1921 census of man
facturers now being made public by
the census bureau to date.
Figures for more than half of the
country's $50 classified manufactures
completed to date place their total
value in 1919 at $62,418,078,773, an
increase of $28,171,644, 049 over
1914. Compared with the high price
period of 1919, many industries show
a decrease in the value Of their 1921
output from that year, due largely to
the decline in prices.
Among industries whose output
more than quadrupled in value in the
seven year period from 1914 to 1921
were the manufacture of rubber
tires, tubes and other rubber goods;
petroleum refining, and manufacture
Of asbestos products. Those whose
production values more than tripled
Included manufactured fuel, ice
cream, pocketbooks, automobiles
automobile bodies and parts, baking
powders and yeast, and chemical fire
extinguishers.
Some industries showed a decrease
in the seven years. They included
manufacture of bells, carriages and
wagons, feathers and plumes, leather
betting, malt, saddlery and harness
and wood engraving,
