Indiana's rural communities are

This has been brought to the at

The survey was to lay plans for

HUGE WHEELS
OF INDUSTRY.
PUSHED FAST
Greater Efficiency Of Work.
ers Given as Cause Of
1926 Prosperity.
REPORT SHOWS ADVANCE
Commerce Department Sur
vey Indicates Nations
Business Healthy.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-United
States prosperity in 1926 is traced
by the Commerce Department to the
men and women behind the
wheels" in mills and factories, whose
increasing efficiency geared the
great American industrial machine
to high possibilities. 81
Commerce Department experts
declare in the year book, issued to-
day, that:
Even in the short period from
1919 to 1925 the output per wage
Garner in our factories increased
about 40 per cent as a consequence
of the greater efficiency of the wage
earners themselves, improved man
agement, more scientific methods
and waste elimination, and greater
use of machinery and other forms Of
capital as an aid to human effort.
The advance in educational stand
ards and in scientific research are
the fundamental causes OF this
progress in industry"
Luxury Market
The luxury market is a good in
dex of prosperity
1.-THE great prosperity Of the
country and the general activity OF
business resulted in large purchases
of tropical foodstuffs and of exotic
raw materials" the year book says.
Imports Of rubber and coffee were
larger both in quantity and value
than in any previous year, but there
was a slight decline in the value of
silk imports as a result OF lower
prices"
In figures showing the record
volume of trade and production
during 1926, these facts stand out:
Manufacturing output was 2 per
cent larger than in 1925, and 8 per
cent above 1928.
Harvests Enormous
Harvests reached a larger aggre-
gate volume than in any year since
1920, while marketing of animal
products and crops was larger than
in 1925, but slightly under 1924.
Mineral production increased Z per
rent breaking all records.
Output of forest products was
smaller than in 1923 or 1925, but
larger thany other year.
Volume of employment and pay
rolls of manufacturing industries
was slightly ahead of 1925, with an
increase in the average earning OF
workers.
Sales of wholesale concerns were
about the same in 1926 as 1925, while
sales of mail order houses and de-
partment stores both showed in
creases of about 4 per cent.

"At another town we tried to pur-

SHOWDOWN ON
SCHOOL Chief
IS DEMANDED
Board Tells Miller to Decide
by Next Tuesday Whether
He Wants Post.
VOTED BY 8 MEMBERS
President Vonnegut FavorS
Giving Educator All Time
He Needs.

Next Tuesday is the time limit set
by school board members for Charles
F. Miller, State superintendent OF
public instruction. to accept or re-
ject formally the SUPPLEMENTARY
Of Indianapolis schools.
In the face of opposition by Pres
ident Theodore F. Vonnegut, this
definite date was set by three other
board members, Charles r. Yoke,
Fred Bates Johnson and Mrs. Lii
liam Sedwick. Commissioner Charles
w. Kern was not present.
The subject was brought up by
Yoke, who suggested definite date
for Miller's acceptance or rejection
so the board might prepare FOR
opening of school Sept. 6.
Urges More Time
Vonnegut urged the board to give
Miller several weeks to make up
his mind, II necessary.
1T seems to me the board is
placed in an embarrassing position
with Miller's delay in acceptance"
Mrs. Sedwick remarked.
why? I am not embarrassed"
Vonnegut said. 1--WE are getting
along fine. Besides, I expect Miller
may have at least an informal an
nouncement for us perhaps Wednes-
day afternoon"
Vonnegut Opposes Move
Yoke's motion setting a definite
time limit, seconded by Mrs. Sed-
wick, was carried, to /, Vonnegut
voting mo"
Vonnegut, in opposing a definite
date, pointed out the resolution of
the board appointing Miller at the
last regular board meeting set
Aug. 1, or as soon thereafter as
possible" for the appointment TO
become effective.
Before the meeting, Vonnegut
stated he favored giving Miller as
much time as he wants so he might
be assured of appointment of a
suitable successor to the State su-
perintendency by Governor Ed
Jackson.
Advertise for Bids.
Board members instructed Ufe M.
Frazer, business director, to adver-
tise for bids for construction OF
new classroom buildings at Ar
senal Technical High School under
recommendations made by the State
tax board Tuesday, and to have pre-
pared plans and specifications for a
combination gymnasium and audi
forum.
Request for part on the dedica-
ton program for the new Washing
ton High School for presentation OF
flag and Bibles was made to the
board by Charles l.. Kelley, heading
delegation of members of Junior
Order of United Mechanics. Re-
quest was referred to the educa-
tional department.
Miller Is Reticent
Although Miller conferred this
morning with Governor Jackson, he
refused to state definitely whether
or not he would resign to accept the
preferred superintendency Of the
Indianapolis schools.
The Governor will be out of the
city next Tuesday, by which time
the school board has decreed Miller
must answer. Jackson refused to
give Miller assurance of appointing
Fred GLADDEN., present assistant to
Miller, to the position and Miller
has refused to present his resigna-
ton without such assurance.
This deadlock may result in Miller
retaining his present position, de-
spite the fact that the Indianapolis
SUPPLEMENTARY would mean a SAL
airy increase Of $4,000.
