BUSINESS IN AREA
IS TURNING UPWARD
Review by Federal Reserve Bank
Shows Larger Volume in
Northwest Last Month

Although improvement Vas shown
during February. the volume Of busi-
ness in the ninth federal reserve dis
trict. comprising the states of Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, and part of Michigan and
Wisconsin, still is below normal, &C
cording to the monthly summary OF
the federal reserve bank at Mime
apolis.
The survey says in part:
Abnormally warm weather contin-
ued to stimulate certain lines of &C
tivity. However, the daily average of
bank debts in February was 20 per
cent smaller than in February last
year. The country check clearings
index for February was 10 per cent
below the index for February last
year. Freight carloadings in the first
three weeks of February were Is per
cent smaller than in the correspond
ing week a year ago. Decreases, as
compared with last years figures, also
occurred in electric power consump-
ton, postal receipts, department store
sales and flour production. Increases
occurred in building permits, linseed
product shipments. livestock receipts
and grain marketings.
"The estimated cash income of
northwestern farmers in February
from the marketing of cash crops,
dairy products and hogs was Is per
cent smaller than in February last
year. Increases in cash income oc-
CURED in durum wheat and flax, but
these were more than offset by de-
creases in income from bread wheat,
rye, potatoes. dairy products and
hogs. All important farm product
prices we're lower in February than a
year ago."

Machine Dust May
Be Used for Fuel

Washington, March 17.-W,--Dust,
blowing around in factories, grain
elevators and threshing machines,
may play an important part in the
next war-if there is one.
David J. Price, Of the agriculture
departments chemical engineering
division, said Tuesday tests have
proved such dust can be used as fuel
in motors or furnaces.
Coal dust is being used in blower
type furnaces, but smut dust from
grain, Price has found, is an even
more powerful explosive. In the
Northwest 800 explosions red in
.threshing machines until an open-air
outlet was provided.
Price thinks that in the event; of
another war dust will have wide
spread use as domestic fuel while Pc
troleum is conserved for fighting
units. He said it is now up to COM
mercial operators to perfect a motor
in which these substances may be put
to a practical use.

SAYS ST. PATRICK
STILL IS POWER
Judge Burke Tells KiWanis Ire
lands Patron Has Affected
Progress of World

Kissing out of and above the miStS
of antiquity, st. Patrick today Yields
an influence which is felt in every
land, John Burke, Judge of the state
supreme court, told members Of the
KiWaniS club at their luncheon meet
ing Tuesday.
Judge Burke said st. Patrick is the
most famous figure of a race noted
for its Imagination and its Legendary.
The feats of the saint who converted
the Irish from q fierce, wild race were
notable enough, he said, but they lost
nothing in the telling from father to
son The result is that st. Patrick, as
we know him today, is an historical
figure of truly noble proportions.
When st. Patrick converted Ire
land to Christianity, and his disciples
later brought Scotland within the
domain of the cross. he really laid the
groundwork for a civilization which
later was to enlighten the world,
Judge Burke said. Ireland had
escaped both the ravages and
the civilization of the Romans, so
that its people were SavageS when st.
Patrick arrived there as a mission
airy.
Along with religion he brought
civilization which was cultivated and
fostered to such an extent that it
reached q high peak when the civil
ization of continental Europe was en-
quilted in the so-called dark ages fol-
lowing the invasion of barbarians
from the north.
Ireland. because of its isolated posi-
ton, was untouched by these cir
cumstances and 1t was from Ireland
and Scotland that missionaries again
went forth to enlighten the world,
the speaker said.
Ireland has contributed much to
civilization in the way of music and
literature, Judge Burke said, and
pointed out that its emblem Is the
harp rather than a beast or bird of
prey such as Is used by SO many ma
tionS.
From Thomas Moore to Victor Her
bert, he said. the Irish have been an
imaginative people, but back Of and
beyond them stands st. Patrick, who
brought civilization and culture to the
Emerald Isle.
Commenting on the culture of Ire
land and Scotland, Judge Burke said
the reason Thomas Moore aad Bobby
Burns live and continually grow to
greater proportions, even though they
wrote no epic poetry. Is the fact that
each wrote the songs of q great peo-
pie.

gram committee. showed a film de-
