Economic Bureau Survey Finds Period
Fluctuations Analogous.
II history repeats itself the business
depression soon will rellnQuiSh Its
crushing grip on the country.
The Economics Bureau in the Agricul-
ture Department said today it had
found, in tracing similarities in past
business depreSSionS, that the f1uctua-
tions in the periods l878-1895 and 1914
1881 were analogous. Thus. it added, a
revival of business in the near future
is suggested.
From a low of 80 per cent in June,
1894, business rose to about 90 in JAM
uary, 1895, the bureau said. In the next
index to slightly below 90. but a rise
followed. bringing business to about
LOG in the Autumn of 1895.
A low of II was recorded in January
in the present depression. The indi-
Gator went to II in the first quarter Of
this year. but the chart for the second
quarter is incomplete.
Comparing the chart for the 1883
1877 period with the 1el4~1931 period.
the bureau said striking similarities
stood out.
Enormous wartime price imitation

mess depression in 1865, and that OF
l920-21 by a depression in 1921.
Eight years later, after periods
marked by recoveries and minor recess
sions, industrial booms developed, one
in 1873. the other in 1929. The depres-
sion following 1873 lasted for about
five years, when the boom of 1S79-lSs0
set in. The current depression has
been on for a year and a. half.

The one deer had been first shot by

Mountain observation tower. Mr.
Green was in the tower when he saw
the deer passing near the tower and
having a shot gun loaded with pump

hitting the animal twice in the back
but the deer ran off and after going
short distance encountered a group
of hunters, all of whom opened fire.
Seventeen shots were fired at it in
