Business Ready to
ODet1 FOrlvQrd March
Americas Bullying Warehouses
Relieved of Manufactured
Goods Surplus
STOCKS OWINDLE RAPIDLY
Situation Now Is Akin to 1928
and Gives Hope For In
creased Activity

Washington, Nov. 30.-P,-Presi-
dent Hoover received the cheering
word Monday that Americas bulging
warehouses are being relieved Of the
glut of overproduction of manu-
facturers
This was shown in Secretary La
mont's annual report. Stocks OF
manufactured goods had dwindled so
that at the end of the fiscal year the
situation was akin to 1928, giving
reason to expect increased business.
AS to raw materials, however, the
secretary of commerce was unable to
say the same. Surpluses IN general
were undiminished.
Hoover heard again that his mora
torium proposal of last June "had a
salutary effect on business sentiment
In this country and abroad, which
was promptly reflected in an upturn
in commodity and security values"
To measure industrial activity In
this country, the commerce depart
ment chief selected the federal re-
serve boards index Of production. II
averaged 20 per cent less last fiscal
year than in the one before, and q
per cent below the unprecedented
| volume Of 1928-29.
But despite the abnormal bushes;
situation. Lamont emphasized. In
dustrial production for the year end
ed June 80 was Of greater volume
than In 1920 and 1922. "and 81 pei
cent more than in the depression
year 1921"
During the last fiscal year the de-
partment of commerce index o
domestic raw material stocks aver
aged IA per cent larger than In tn
preceding year, while the index fnl
June, 1881, was II per cent above tha
Of the same month of 1880.
1.-THE situation with respect tt
stocks of manufactured goods il
much more satisfactory" the report
said. After rising above pre-depres'
sion levels during the fiscal veal
1929-3O the index has since turnec
downward ana at the end Of the las,
fiscal year was about 6 per cent be-
low the preceding year and at the
same level as in June, 1928"
The secretary found foreign trade
not SO bad as indicated by dollars
and cents values. Exports were 81
per cent lower in dollar values anc
imports 81 per cent under the previ-
Gus year on June 80, but studies ol
the department showed that the
actual volume of exports was dowr
only % per cent. Despite the de.
creases. exports were two per CEN
above the 1925 average.

MIGHT MAKE SLIDING
HILL OUT OF STREET
| TO INCREASE SAFETY
Problem Of Children on Sleds
Will Be Considered BY
'~'s City Commission '4

Probability that one of the streets
in the northwestern section Of the
city will be made stop street or be
closed to vehicular traffic entirely
for the safety of children sliding
downhill on sleds and skis was ex-
pressed Monday morning by A. p
Lenhart, president Of the city COM
mission.
Lenhart said the problem will be
considered Monday night at the reg
ular weekly business meeting Of the
commission.
Children have been sliding and
playing in the streets In the north
western section of the city since the
the snowfall last week. Mandan
street and Avenue B, which have
heavy vehicular traffic, have proved
the most popular for the youngsters
and their winter sports.
Motorists so far have been un-
usually careful with the result that
no accidents have occurred. But the
commissioners, Lenhart said, wish tc
insure safety to the children. Sleigh.
ing may be restricted to certain hours
Of the day to decrease accident dan
ger.
A group of boys on one of the
streets watered the street to give il
an Icy coating when the night freeze
came, Mayor Lenhart was informed
This makes vehicular traffic hazard
Gus, he pointed out.
Streets have been made unusually
slippery by an ice coating which de.
veloped when snow melted and the
water froze over the weekend and
Lenhart urged all motorists to drive
with extraordinary care.
Workmen Monday morning were
sprinkling cinders and gravel on the
approaches to stop streets to give
motorists more braking power and
decrease the sliding hazard at inter-
sections.

A National Fire-Fighting Show.

Washington's annual firemen's pa
rade. started some years ago as a
means of attracting attention to the
local defense organization and particu-
larry to induce attendance at a sport
ing event that supplies funds for the
police and f1remen'S relief body. has
developed into an occasion of broader
significance. From year to year par
ticipation in the parade has been eX-
tended to ether areas than the Dis
trict. First the immediate Maryland
and Virginia suburbs Joined the line on
Labor day. Then from greater dis
tances came representative freight
ing units. Now it is planned to in
clude delegations from North and
South Carolina and from Pennsylvania
and Ohio and New York-indeed to
make this verbally national showing
of protective efficiency.
While f1re-fghting equipment has
lost somewhat of its picturesqueneeS
with the passing OF the horses and the
advent OF the motorized machines. this
parade is an impressive showing of
preparedness against the most dangerous
enemy now menacing this country.
Every community, large ard small, is a
sufferer from the depgedations of this
foe. There is no immunity against the
care.essnesS and negligence that lead
to fires. Constant stress in admonition.
vigilant inspection, may abate the evn
somewhat, but there always remains
the irreducible minimum of thought
lessneSs and risk
A community can with extraordi-
nary good luck get along without a
fire department, but it is in every hour
in peril. small town with a volun-
teer establishment needs god equip
ment as well as the large city with a
paid department. Upon the efficiency
of these forces and upon the dapenda-
biliJy of their apparatus rests the secur-
ity Of the people.
A parade of fire engines should
serve to remind all who behold it OF
the duty Of every individual to observe
to the last degree the precautions
against conflagrati-n. If the Washing
ton demonstration is broadened to ma
tional size in representation and serves
the country at large as well as it has
served the Capital heretofore, it will
result in further reduction in the
fire less which the Nation suffers
annually.
