| MANUFACTURING GAIN
I'm U. S. is REPORTED
Labor Department Finds Increase
in Employment and Pur-
chasing Power.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

Manufacturing is on the upturn in
the United States.
Labor Department statistics reviewing
1891 individual establishments in SO
of the principal manufacturing indus
tries, employing 2,833,890 workers and
boasting a weekly pay roll of $56,71e,-
SAB, show:
The purchasing power of this group
increased 81 per cent during February
while employment gained IL per cent
during the period.
The months favorable showing was
retarded by the performance in three
main groups, lumber, paper and print
ing and food and kindred products,
which showed respective losses in en-
ployment of IL, II and "a per cent,
attended by loss of purchasing power
of 2.7, "a and 80 per cent, respectively.
Lumber fares worse than any other
manufacturing industry, its operations
during February being only 25.6 per
cent Of the activity during the normal
year 1926 This is the result of con-
certed action to exhaust huge inven-
tories through a process of curtailing
production.
Eight main groups showed gains in
employment, ranging from OIL per cent
in chemicals to Sc per cent in leather.

Patient, contented, happy, and
self-possessed is the nature that
comes from this degree. The ex-
istence may be uneventful, but it
will probably be happily suited in
the domestic ties, even though the
life be patiently devoted to an
unambitious calling, or. a reward
long deferred. It is. far from a
useless life. though it may be a
simple one, or perhaps not given
its due need till too late.

Postal Mathematics.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New YORK sun
According to the calculations of the
executive assistant to the Postmaster
General, postal receipts for so cities
during the third quarter of the calendar
year were greater by sl2,000,000 than
they would have beeen under the rates
in effect prior to July 6. This theory
advanced in a letter to the chairman Of
the House Committee on Post Office
and Post Roads, rests on the assump-
ton that the change Of postal rates has
had no effect on volume. No more dan
gerous assumption could be made by
anybody desirous Of producing convinc-
ing figures What actually appears
from comparison of the receipts for
the so selected cities Is that increased
postal rates have more than offset the
decline in volume caused by the increases
alone, but have not offset the decline
from every cause.
This conclusion is inescapable en- the
face of figures showing receipts for the
so cities slightly smaller during the third
quarter of 1882 than during the same
period in 1881. Whence, then, is to come
the S165, 900, 900 additional annual reve-
nue. which 1t was estimated the new
postal rates would produce? The House
committee already has IN mind the In
PRODUCTION at the December session OF
Congress of bill to reduce first-class
rates to the scale effective before July g..
1t is argued that reduction Of first
class rates will stimulate use OF the
mails and that receipts will be as large
as under the present rates. Whether
this is q sound argument or not, 1t Is
clear that no such sum as $165, 1000 600
increase in revenue Is going to be
brought in by the present postal rates.

Stages Position as Leader
OF College Men Proclaimed

The approaching retirement of Amos
Alonzo Stagg as director of athletics
and active coach at the University OF
Chicago this year because of the age
limit rule at that institution retiring
its professors at the age OF 20, Is re-
gretted not only in Chicago, but
throughout the country.
AS to this rule and its relation to
Coach Stagg, the Chicago Daily News
says: Every drop OF red blood IN his
elastic arteries protests, every Vlbra-
tion of his indonlitable spirit cries out
against that rule. His 10 years. as a
measure of time, he must admit, but
his clear eye, his rugged frame. his
resonant voice dispute their significance
as a measure Of capacity. 1t is
no easy thing for this veteran. with
the laurels of 253 foot ball victories on
his brow and the sense of fitness in
his heart, to step aside. The offer OF
lighter responsibilities considerably
made by the university does not con-
sole him While the fans may think
the rule should have been waived in
his case, the Cleveland News believes
that Mr. Stagg, though crushed by the
decision, is too good disclpllnarlan
to ask special fayors for himself" As
serting that lin some respects retire
ment rules are unduly harsh" the
Escanaba Daily Press contends that "a
man who has been active for many
years finds himself lost when he is
removed from the harness. Instead of
retirement giving him the comforts
that are planned for his declining years
it causes him much discomfort" This
paper describes such man as finding
time hanging heavy on his hands"
and asserts that "he broods over being
denied the opportunity to accomplish
things and hold his same place in
society"
In the East, college men may think
it is stretching the point to say that
England has her King. the United
States the Stars and Stripes and Chi
cago the Grand Old Man. but Middle
WesternerS, and particularly Chicago
ans, know that this phrasing states a
truthful similitude," asserts the Jersey
City Journal The Boise Idaho States
man expresses the thought. THE as
sociation of Chicago and Stagg, and
Stagg and Chicago, which has become
such a welded combination through
four decades that neither name has
been complete without the other, has
been severed" The Miami Daily News
would confer the title, Coach Emer-
titus" if it existed, upon this famous
athletic director, and states. There
being no such title. it might be well
to invent it."
Splendid personal qualities are cred
tied to Mr.. Stagg from the days of his
youth. when he was foot ball and
base ball star at Yale, to the present
ISday. "Of all the coaches in the land,
Stagg is probably the most deeply ad-
mired," declares the Goshen Daily
News Times, as it estimates 'the ad-

hundred-odd they captured last Sum-

hundred -odd they captured last Sum-
mer. Herr Hitler's subsequent tactics
have visibly diminished his power and
glory. He has contrived to displease
beth his extreme and moderate sup
rorters.
The younger hetheads of the party
are disgruntled because Hitler did not
proceed to make good his post-election
bluff that the "Nazis" now rule the
German rocst and march on Berlin with
the massed Brown Shirt forces once
assembled to that menacing end. The
less radical Hitlerite cohorts were dis
gusted with their leaders rule or ruin"
attitude when, after being invited into
the cabinet as the head Of the largest
Reichstag group. he shrieked that he
demanded "the authority OF a Mussclini
or nothing" He got nothing.
In the Midsummer Reichstag cam
paign the National Socialists made more
or less common cause with the Hugen-
berg Nationalist and concentrated their
opposition almost wholly on the Social
Democrats and the Communists. In the
campaign now tapering to a dull and
uninteresting finish, with public inter-
est reduced almost to the point Of ma
tional indifference, the "Nazis" ignored
their previous archfoes. Hitler himself,
accustomed to crowds and wild acclaim,
this time played to relatively empty gal
leries.
Frederick T. Birchall, who has done
notable work in observing the kaleido-
scopic political scene In Germany during
the past year for the New York Times,
foreshadows a fall Of anything from
ten to twenty per cent In Hitlerite
strength. Out of it all Mr.. Birchall
discerns yet another Reichstag dissolu-
ton "on one pretext or another" with
the Won Papen government carrying on
indefinitely. In fact" Mr.. Birchall
ventures to prophesy, TO judge by pres
ent conditions. it might almost be said
that the prospect is that the present
regime bids fair to continue forever"
If that prediction turns out to be true,
it means that a German dictatorship
will take its place alongside the alarm
ingly growing number Of such systems
of government now prevalent in Europe,
Asia and the Western Hemisphere. The
world does not seem to have been made
safe for democracy, after all.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

There is no other way.
Art is art, and few come to 1t from
the wrong end, even in pie.
Pumpkin pie, in particular, must be
approached from the right end OF life,
the early years. Despite ones admi-
ration for Browning's good poem, In
which the best of life is promised at
the end, one still may look back with
affection upon ones childhood and see
again great sunny kitchen. and a
clean secured table, set out with OIL
plate holding monumental slice OF
pumpkin pie.
To one side OF that plate was glass
Of milk, cold as the Autumn day. There
were frothy bubbles around the top Of
II. Surely there Is nothing to wonder
at in the American liking for cold
drinks when one recalls those child
hood glasses of milk. In deepest Win
ter nothing delighted the little ones SO
much as to receive their milk frozen,
so that they could eat the lice cream"
which filled the tops Of their glasses.
The taste Of true pumpkin pie calls
for more
1t is that sort of thing.
1t Is mild, yet poignant.
taste to 1t to make mighty easy eatin
There is, above all, a certain tang re-
sembling the keenest fragrance of pine
forests, or the immemorial appeal Of
fresh salt air, blowing straight off the
ocean.
This is what Mother Nature has done
In good pumpkin.
She has gone down into the earth
and brought up, at this very season, an
Incompatible taste.
| She presents it with an expansive
gesture in golden yellow, in orange, in
the precise coloration which the world
has agreed to call pumpkin color"
| There she leaves it, saying Here 1t
is. What you do with 1t is none OF my
business. You can spoil it, If you want
| to, by loading it down with spices You
can turn the contents all out, use the
shell on Halloween, as you did recently.
But If you will take my advice, you will
learn how to make real pie with it. /
don't see what better you can do with
IT, even after all these centuries"
Yes, pie Is what the pumpkin was
made for In the beginning. Through
the vast cons, down the rocky slopes of
time, before even the snouty animals of
prehistoric ages came into existence the
globular pumpkin thrilled to its future
on the dinner tables Of civilized world.
Cave dwelling men delighted to look
at it. but they did not know what to do
with It,
Pie had yet to be invented
Centuries went by, wars following
wars. as mankind kept two great ideals
steadily In mind-peace and pumpkin
pie.
\
/ Well, we have pumpkin pie. anyhow.
! That is, occasionally we have it.
/ There are pumpkin pies and pumpkin
pies. There are true pies and pseudo
! pies, pies to delight the epicure and pies
to please the taste that doesn't know.
When the taste that knows meets the
pie that is right there Is rejoicing all
down those vast avenues of time, up
which this most delicious dish strug-
gled right piefully TO come into its own.
It Is here-at least 1t is sometimes
II we know what to do with 1t.
Never. however, forget that glass Of
cold milk its only necessary aid, its per-
feet complement.
