(Conclusion)

There isn't any way Of summarizing
or condensing ones impressions OF the
exhibits There is one common focus,
however, and that is the. great sweep
of the chronological advance since the
Industrial Revolution. That is the
theme of the fair if it has one, every
exhibit reflects it, and it furnishes what
justification there is for calling 1T
Century of Progress. The exhibits OF
agricultural machinery proved that the
old theory--any sort of junk is good
enough for the farmer--is still in force.
OF course, the mowers look pretty SLICK
all red paint and shiny but agricultural
machinery is what it has been--a pile
of rubbish at an extortionate price.
They didn't have a spraye r-1naype
the worms wouldn't let them exhibit
one, maybe they were ashamed to tell
people that insects could be controlled
by any means they had yet discovered.
They should be ashamed.
California had just the sort Of exhib-
it one would expect Of California. How
ever, I missed two things--a model Of
Tom Mooney in San Quentin, and
miniature Of the Los Angeles quake

Washington did itself proud, but lndl-
ana took the States exhibit hands down
with a mural by Thomas Benton. Ben
ton has done an epic Of America here
the pioneers, the backwoodsm the
railroad builders, the spellbinding poll
ticians, the growth Of industry, and at
last the collapse of the capitalist econ
orny in 1929. There were howls OF rage
from the good people of Chicago over
this last panel, which depicted bread
lines and the like. Mr.. Benton's political
purity was called in question, 1t was
runlored that he held heretical notions
FFabout a Century of Progress, and some
of the pillars of society with Diego
Rivera in mind said that all mural
painters were Reds and should be shot,
The Federal exhibits were good for
the most part; the significant thing
about them was their demonstration OF
the enormous increase in the ambit OF
state activity since 1870. The last half
Century has seen the idea OF the
Agnostic state displaced by the theory
and practice of the Social Service State.
The shift is going on at an accelerated
rate at the present time. For instance,
the Bureau of Mines had done an en-
ormous amount of work with safety
devices and equipment used in the In
dustry, as well as the extensive research
in methods and techniques. It has
worked out elaborate codes of sofe
practice which are compulsory to mine

AUTO CAR OUTPUT
HEADS TO FIRST
RISE SINCE '29
INDUSTRY ENTERS FINAL
HALF OF 1888 WITH OUT.
LOOK MORE OPTIMISTIC
THAN PRECEDING YEARS
By DAVID ,. WlLkIE
(By Associated PRennD

DETROIT, June 29.-Although
the volume of production and dis
tribution still are far from what
leaders of the motor car industry
desire to term normal, they en-
ter the final half of 1888 with an
outlook more optimistic than at
any time during the last three and
one-half years.
Barring a reversal Of the pres
ent trend the industry expects to
produce total Of from /, 750. 600
to 100000 passenger cars and
trucks in the United States and
Canada, compared with j, 45l, 600
in 1882 and 5,621,715 in 1929.
The optimistic outlook of execu-
tives is based on several factors,
chief of which has been accumu-
lating over period Of more than
three years and has only just begun
to get into motion. Increased pur-
chasing power, leaders of the in.
dustry believe, has played only q
minor part in the acceleration of
sales and the consequent stepping
up of production during the first
six months of the year. y,.t,
No small part of the retail de-
mand to date, authorities in the
industry say, has been due to
seasonal influences, an accumula-
ton of orders during the banking
holiday and some talk of possible
higher prices along with discus
sion of inflationary proposals.
Current Improvement in business
conditions outside the motor car
industry, they add, can be .ex-
pected soon to develop real in
crease in purchasing power which
will be reflected i'm the buying. Of
motor cars in greater numbers.

lear that was waiting to take her
away. and moved by an impulse she
could not control she said eagerly.

Edward Bancroft did not turn his
head. but his bowed shoulders
5erked.
"Oh get out" he said irritably.
George walked to the door, turn.
ing again as she reached 1t. "If you
want me I'll come. any time," she
said. and remembered that few
days ago she had spoken almost the
came words to Boyd. And yet 1t was
30 unlikely that either OF these men
would want her. or send for her;
70 seemed such a pity. when she
was so fond of them both.
She waited another moment. Then
Edward Bancroft spoke. "Shut the
door. there's draught." he said.
And so George went to London.
The car was marvellous, with soft
cushions and a telephone through
which you could speak to the chauf-
,fsur IL the dividing window was
closed. The chauffeur was young and
good-looking. and George thought
the back OF his head was little like
Nicholas Boyd's. She looked at it
q great deal with a queer ache at
her heart.

st was only the recent tempo

work that kept the May total of

Publicly financed construction
contracts in May of this year
amounted to only $23,684, 200
against $92,548.200 in May last

DON CONFERENCE
By HERBERT PLUMMER

| WASHINGTON, June %
Washington observers familiar
with the outspoken and frank
manner of Senator James Couzens,
of Michigan. were not surprised
when they read how he had de-
manded of the other members OF
the American delegation at the
London economic conference that
they unite on definite policy.
It's Couzens' habit to speak his
mind where and whenever he
chooses.
AS a matter of fact, nearly
everybody seemed a bit surprised
when Couzens announced that he
had accepted President Roosevelt's
invitation to go to London as a
member of the American delega-
ton. seq
They couldn't figure out why he
would want the job. It couldn't
have been that he was attracted
by the social advantages the posi-.
ton offered. He doesn't care for
that sort of thing and never has.
An Independent Abroad
The only reason the senator
himself ever gave publicly for de.
Gliding to go to London was his
statement that he wanted to wild.

.cipal interests, finance, distribu-
ton and production.
He is rated an independent
among independents in his polite
al thinking. And party concerns
have not held him in line when he
has been in disagreement with the
leaders.
He looked with favor on Roose-
velt's bid for the presidency last
year and he supported the presi-
dents legislative program put
through during the special session.
1t was perhaps because of this
that Roosevelt turned to him with
the request that he go to London

MIA. and young Bob" La Toilette

AUTHORITY FAVORED
FOR MISSOURI RIVER
Roosevelt Reported Seeking Crea-
tion of M. R. A., Similar
to T. V. A.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
President Roosevelt was reported au-
thoritatively today as favoring the early
creation of Missouri River Authority
similar to the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority.
Although it was said at the White
House that the Chief Executive has not
yet studied the matter deeply, he was
said to feel that an investigation of
the possibilities of such a move should
be made. One question ne feels should
be studied in view of the great expanse
of the Missouri Valley, is whether the
project would be too large an enterprise
to be embraced by single authority
Further. Mr.. Roosevelt was said to
be entertaining a similar attitude to-
ward the Arkansas River Valley.
The President has not yet discussed
his ideas with Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, leader Of the fight
for the creation Of the Tennessee au-
thority, but 1t was intimated he would
do so later
The Nebraskan announced recently he
would introduce bill in the next Con-
gress to provide for the development of
the Missouri Valley in much the same
manner as the Tennessee project.
