F|RMER TENDENCY.
SEEN IN BUSINESS
Productive Activity Remains
Unchanged, Commerce
Department Finds.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Productive activity was unchanged
during the week ended October 7, but
firmer tendency was noted by the
Commerce Department, in its weekly re-
view of the domestic situation, in a
number of important series.
Automobile production fell off by less
than the usual seasonal amount, and
sales returns continue favorable. Tex
tile mill activity has been stepped up,
after a let-dovn of some weeks. Steel
ingot production for the country was
at about the same rate as in the pre-
ceding week. with improvement in some
areas. Electric power production fell
of slightly. and was 93 per cent above
a year ago in comparison with 10.2
per cent in the preceding week.
Retail Trade Unchanged.
Retail trade remained substantially
at the level of the previous week. where
as some expansion usually occurs at
this period. Department store sales
figures for September confirm earlier
reports that sales were not measuring
up to seasonal expectations. The pre-
liminary adjusted index for the month
was 10, compared with II in August
and 68 a year ago. AS prices were
about Is per cent above last year,
the volume of sales was thus consid-
erably less than in September. 1882.
Wholesale commodity prices were
lower for the second successive week,
due to the drop in Agricultural prices.
on-agricultural advanced to the high
est point reached this year. Cotton
and wheat prices were among the major
commodities which moved lower. The
iron and steel composite was firm, fol-
lowing the makeup at the end OF the
third quarter. Electrolytic copper was
slightly lower.
Bond prices continued to decline and
the average" has dropped about S
per cent in the last two months. Stock
prices were flrmer. Bank debts, out
side New York City, were higher as a
result of month-end influences. Money
markets reflect only minor changes for
the week, with short-term interest rates
extremely low The Reserve banks con-
tinued their open market operations,
md excess reserves of the member banks
remained extremely high, although be-
low a week ago. Money in circulation

Night and Fog

The liner Republic, Egypt
bound, cabin full of passengers,
was plunging eastward so miles
southeast of Nantucket Light
ship in the early morning of
January %, 1909. In his tiny
radio shack on the top deck,
tinkering with the marvellous new
thing that nobody yet knew a
great deal about. young Jack
BinnS, the radio operator.
Suddenly, out of nowhere.
Jack Binns caught a glimpse of
the blunt bow of a steamship
driving straight for the Repub-
lies side. Then came a terrific
shock as the Italian freighter
Florida stabbed the liner to the
heart, killing six passengers in
their sleep and rending a great
cash in the Republics middle.
Working desperately fast, out
with a cool head, Jack Birns
patched up his little storage
battery, in the dark, with that
distracting chorus of panic ris-
ing waves around him.
Ruspini, master of the Florida
and a fine seaman, held the
bow of his ship firmly in the
cash it had cut in the Re-
public's side.
And then far off came the
faint, dull report of a signal
bomb. It was the Baltic coming
up, feeling her way blindly, lis.
tening-slowing n-listen'
ing. But not one sound could she
hear from the Republic until
the sinking liner had fired her
very last bomb. And with that
the Baltic swung on the right
course and, guided by Jack
Binns' signals, came tearing up
to complete one of the most
thrilling rescues ever made at
sea.

Death in a Well

AS a writer in Time" tells
the story, he was the first white
man to penetrate the Barren
Lands. Fond of good living
when he could get it, he
learned to live on savage fare.
Once in Africa, STOPPING to
drink from a shallow well, he
saw in the water, beneath the
reflection of his own face, the
ragged, black face of a man,
newly murdered.
He met his wife in Peru,
where she was living with her
father, the British Minister.
Rawboned Violet was no less
characterful than her rowing
mate, and they had stormy
times together. But she never
tried to domesticate him. They
went off to Burma and the Ma
lay Archipelago to find new
types of orchids. Once he said:
II am going to Baghdad and on
to Persia. Will you Gomez"
She said: when do we start?"
On his last trip to Africa he
died, only few years ago. Vio-
let had gloomy premonitionS,
but she was content to be with
him. He fell i'll, too i'll to be
taken back to England. And
that was the crowning of his
life's attitude toward his body,
the victory of his will over suf-
fering. And when at last he
died, she was glad for him.

divorces. and make it neceS-
sary for gigolos and gold-dig-
gers to go to work for a living.
Most people who break their
marriage ties are simply starv-
ing for a little applause, and
are terribly fed up on advice
and criticism. What we need
is somebody to tell us how bril-
liant we are, and how young
and beautiful we look, every
twenty-four hours. Somebody
to keep our inferiority complex
down to zero and our self!
esteem up to par.
The medieval kings and
queens had the right idea.
They PAID courtiers and ''fav-
orites" to flatter them and laugh
ing for a little applause, and
at their jokes and nourish
their vanity and self-compla-
cency.. No wonder they thought
they were divinely sent.
It is not hard for a psyche
analiSt to discover your par
ticular inferiority complex. But
CURING it is a feat which re-
quires time and skill. Passing
out the orchids might prove a
very profitable profession if
somebody would take it up in
a serious way. We pay a good
psychoanalist big money for
telling us what's the matter
with us; but most of us would
gladly pay a cheer leader twice
as much for telling us that
there's NOTHING the matter
with us.
