Displays al Per Cent Gain
Since Administration
Took Office.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, July 18.-Amer-
lean business has been on the up
grade ten out of the sixteen months
that President Roosevelt has been
in Office and has shown net gain
of Al per cent since March 4, 1888,
federal reserve figures showed today.
Except for August, September,
October and November Of last year
and the seasonal let-down over the
last two months, plus signs have
dominated the industrial picture.
The figures make striking COM
parison with the movement Of
American business during the pre-
vious administration. With Presi-
dent Hoover taking Office shortly
before the depression began in June,
1929. business in his administration
gained in thirteen months; declined
in thirty and was unchanged for
five.
Unemployment Estimated
These figures are industrial pro-
duction statistics of the federal re-
serve board and do not take into
account such important factors as
unemployment, pay rolls, relief or
price movements. They represent
the production of the country's
mines, factories and mills.
Reserve board experts figure that
industrial activity is now approx
mately IS per cent of the 1923-25
average. In July, 1882, the bottom
of the depression, it fell to SO per
cent, rose moderately and then fell
to SO per cent in March, 1888.
The rise in industrial production
since then has outrun the decline
in unemployment, a factor which
the NRA has attempted to offset by
reduction of working hours and
spread of employment. Unemploy-
ment as estimated by the American
Federation of Labor fell from its
peak of 1859 900 in March, 1888,
to 1O,2670OO at the end of May,
1884.
Upturn Continuance Predicted
After the current summer dull
ness. administration circles pre-
dicted today continuance Of the
irregular upturn that has proceeded
since President Roosevelt took Of
flee.
How long this movement will
continue is not expected to be
known until the results of the re-
covery program can be fully gagged.
It was pointed out that while
business activity rose in only thir-
teen months of the Hoover admin
istration, relief and recovery eX-
penditures were negligible until his
last year. Moreover, the Hoover
administration took Office shortly
before the start of the depression
while President Roosevelt entered
the White House after the coun-
try already had been fighting the
depression for four years.

head her off. "I'll get the ticket

pressed his lips to hers in a brief
kiss, surprisingly sweet to each
Of them.

You didn't give me my bag!"
Recalled from the glowing daze
in which the kiss had left him,
Seward yelled, "Oh, my aunt!"
and sprinted along the platform.
But the train won the unequal
race. Seward was left standing
beside the track, clutching the
bag and telling the wide world
the many different kinds Of fool
he was.
Walking back along the plat
form, he sat down on q baggage
truck. He was in no hurry to
begin his search for his car.
While he sat there, with the bag
in his hands, he could not resist

When he told Marian that JAS

to Chicago for q few days, she
could not, at once, control her ex-

her Of being glad to be rid Of him.
She retorted honestly enough:
>"You haven't been fit to live

I'm glad you'll be taking your
crouch out on Mr.. Ingram for q
day or two instead Of me. It's not
as if I'd got ever my accident yet

ing Of was now hers. Homer was
hardly out of the house when she
was at her telephone-calling
d'AlhueS in New York.
D'Alhues came near midnight.
Trembling, Marian threw herself
into his arms; they were alone,
free to love at last.
"Why can't life always be like
this?" she walled.
1T can be and should be-" he
said. Courage, only. is necessary.
The question, carina mia, how
greatly do you dare?"
what d'you mean, darling?
Lots of women would have been
afraid to have you here like this"
1T Is true, tonight is already
more than ever dreamed of haV-
ing. At times I still forget that I
am now a poor man. For a
moment I thought of carrying you
away to my castle near BurgoS.
But I could only carry you into
beggary. If I can sell Dona
Josefa's rubies, and If she wishes
me to attend her back to Europe,
I shall have to live with the great
est economy. But if I had fifty
thousand pesetas year, I would
not ask you, queridisima, to elope
with me! I would take you, by
force, if necessary. But how can
q beggar play the man? It is not
even as though the rubieS were
sold!"
Lovers Plans
"But darlingeSt," Marian pro-
tested, II will have money. Homer
would have to give me alimony!"
"Alimony-what Is that?"
She explained:
"Don't you see? I'll bring suit,
and get a divorce. You won't en-.
ter into it at all! I'll ask for a
humping alimony. Homer makes
ten thousand a year. How much
is that in pesetas?"
"Fifty thousand. But we cannot
go to Spain-alas! They would
seize me and send me to the Villa
Cisneros. Two cousins and many
friends Of mine are there already
If this beautiful dream should
come true, Mariancita, it is on the
Riviera that we should live, in a
villa near Cannes, perhaps. You
would like that? Questions would
not be asked. r should present
you to my friends as the Marques

Marian.
"Ah," continued d'Alhues. 1--WE
would lead there an idyllic exist
