flation and New Deal enthusiasm
and it is just senseless to get peSSi
mistic on that basis of compari
son as it was to be optimistic
when comparisons were being
made with the bank crash period
But, regardless of last year
business is now pointing down
ward. For example, carloadings
are off, and show that shipments
are not keeping pace with pro-
duction. Somewhere, stocks are
accumulating.
Thus the recent increases in pro-
duction of steel, lumber, etc., are
not bullish.
In fact, steel production, though
the recent decline has apparently
been less than seasonal, is now
meeting a drop in orders, and
close observers anticipate SET
hack. Tending to this conclusion
are the sharp curtailment in auto
mobile production, the decline in
machine tool orders, and the cor
tjnued weakness in the steel scrap
market.
We have to add to these points,
the unsettlement in the textile in
dustrieS, marked by a narrowing
spread between the prices of raw
materials and goods, and by ef'
forts to curtail production.
Then, too, the action of whole
sale commodity prices is not en-
cOuraging. The averages were
up last week, but this was en-
kirely due to drought and arti-
ficial control affecting grains,
food products, and gasoline. De-
clineS occurred in most nOn-fer-
rOus metals, steel Scarp, hides,
rubber, sugar, coffee, and print
cloth.
Trade is spOtty and hesitant.
Thus the prospects are for
dull summer, with no material
rally before fall, unless the New
Dealers give us another "ShOt",
or something.
The country will soon be realiz
ing the futility of merely "prim'
ing the pump" We have had big
spurts in the South and West
where the Administration has
poured out Government bonuses
and doles. People have bought
Stream-lined cars on Government
credit. But all this gives us
merely spotty and unnatural
stimulus. Such purchasing
power" does not stick to the ribs
of society.
We have forced wage rates
higher and higher for less and
less work. But the costs eat up
the gains, and the prices offset
the purchasing power"
We have had half-baked in.
flationary schemes, such as pill
ing up "excess reserves" on the
books of the banks, and "devalu'
ing" a mythical gold dollar which
no one can get hold of. But the
banks can make no loans.
Now the proposal to lend gov
eminent credit to "those who live
in houses" for the purpose of buy.
ing bath tubs, and to set up sort
of RFC for building and loan
associations, falls flat.
The scheme to increase our
wealth by giving us overvalued sill.
yer certificates instead of Federal
Reserve notes, leaves us cold. We
see that it merely means more
Government credit.
AS to NRA and the very blue
Blue Eagle-well, let the monopo'
1istic business leaders," the A. F.
of L., the Socialists, the Anarchists
and General johnson squabble
over the carcass. 1t is utterly dis
organized and dtscredited.
We now await the next expert
ment.
I have faith that American in
dividuals will be able to weather
it. When we have withstood the
ordeal of the New Deal, we will
begin to deal with realities. Then
will come the final "recovery"-

Following chase of 81 miles at
a speed approximately rs miles an
hour for most of the distance, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Teat, of Gamers
Lane, just off the causeway on
South Market street, Wilmington,
were captured Tuesday afternoon
of last week, when Teat's automo-
bile upset when he attempted to
make a turn after Inspector Elmer
G. Jewell, of the State Liquor
Commission put a well directed bull
let through a rear tire. Teat was
held on charge of Illegal posses
sion of liquor. He and his wife
were spilled out on the grass be
tween the north and south-bound
lanes of the DUPONT Highway near
Bishops Corner, south of Smyrna.
The machine turned over twice.
The couple were taken to the Kent
Geeral Hospital at Dover where
Teat was found to have broken

Four stitches were required to
close a cash in his chin. Mrs. Teat
apparently suffered only from
shock but both are being held at
the hospital. Teat was arraigned
before a Dover magistrate. Three
1O-gallon kegs of alleged whisky
were found in his car. The chase
and arrest started at 1870 p. m.
and ended an hour later. Jewell
and Inspector E. ]. Daley were
patrolling the highway and at Min
quadale sighted Teat, who was
driving north. He had been under
suspicion and the inspectors fol-
lowed Near Rogers Lane and
the Heald street cutoff Teat saw
he was followed and sped over
Rogers Lane to New Castle av-
enue where he turned north to
Garische's Lane and then back to
the DUPONT Highway. He went
south to Rogers Lane against
traffic and at Rogers Lane again
turned and headed for New Castle
avenue and raced through New
Castle with the inspectors close
behind. He turned down River
Road and drove at speed of
about rs miles through st. Georg-
es, Odessa and Smyrna. A short
distance south of Bishops Corner
Inspector Jewell drew his revolver
and shot at the rear tire. The bull
let hit the mark and slowed Teat's
car but he managed to keep it on
the road. Driving about 300 feet

It upheld the Minnesota mortgage
