BUSINESS IN
MARCH SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT

The index of far western buSi-
ness for March was $40, which is
the highest point reached this year
and equals the highest level re-
corded in 1888 in the month of
July, according to Bank of Ameri-
ca IS Business Review issued today.
The March index was 10 per cent
higher than March a year ago,
which was the all-time low for the
index.
The aggregate dollar volume of
retail sales in the eight far western
states during March, 1884, showed
record increase of 41.2 per cent
over March of last year. This
marked increase was partly due to
the following factors: the price of
commodities sold was 10 to 20 per
cent higher, Easter purchases were
in April one year ago, and the
bank holiday was in March, 1888.
"After adjusting for the factors
mentioned above" says the bank S
review, cit is certain that March
1884 would still show a large gain
in the retail sales over 1888, be-
cause Of a healthier buying move
ment which has been stimulated by
increased employment, increased
salaries and a general feeling of
greater confidence.
Manufacturing industries of CAL
ifornia during March, 1884, en-
ployed 1886 per cent more men than
in the corresponding month of last
year. The amount of weekly pay
rolls showed an increase of 44.8 per
cent in comparing the same per-
iodS.
The index of prices received by
the farmers of California during
March, 1884, was II per cent of
the July l910-15 average. This is
1868 per cent higher than the all
time low in April, 1888.

'D|ME NOVELS
NOW PRECIOUS

PHILADELPHIA, April 26. U.P)-
Perhaps, in rummaging through
the attic, you will discover some
paper backed dime novels.
Do not throw them away, shud-
dering at memories of the wood
shed. They may be quite valuable.
For the dime novel has leaped from
its obScurity of SO years ago to a
place Of honor in the CongreSsion-
al Library at Washington.
Thousands of collectors are ca
ger to pay high prices for genuine
Diamond Dick' thrillerS of the
sos and '90s. In Philadelphia a
Happy Hours Brotherhood, COM
posed of 60 members, has been or
ganiZed to promote interest in dime
novel collecting.
Robert H. Smeltzer, vice-presi-
dent of the brotherhood. believes
dime novels not only are harmless,
but actually have done considerable
good.
81 was brought up on a farm,
and in my teens I read my first
dime novels. My grandmother and
my aunts considered dime novels
trash, so 1 read them in secret
back in the haymow.
II can't for the life of me see
what was wrong with them, unless
it was the fact that they were SO
frequently concerned with death
and fighting. The good man al
ways triumphed. however, and JUS
tice always prevailed. There are
things more objectionable in most
modern magazines. -

TRIPLE DECKER
IS TRAFFIC AID

DETROIT. April 26. (U.P) = The
answer to congested traffic prob
lens in America s big cities is a
three-deck elevated system that
would accommodate express and To-
cal street cars, allow airplanes to
land and take off, and eliminate
poles and wires, according to the
system S inventor, A. L. Rowe, 40.
A model of the system was on
display for the first time here re-
Gently at the annual Builders show.
The Rowe elevated stands 40 feet
from the street, is 20 feet wide at
station stops and 18 feet between
stations. 1t provides parking for
automobiles under the superstruc-
ture and walk for pedestrians on
the first deck.
The second deck is devoted to
two sets of tracks for inbound and
outbound local cars. The third deck
accommodates express cars, and
the roof serves as a land field for
planes.
This would cost $2,500,000 a
mile to construct" Rowe declared.
"New York subways cost $12 ,500,0 900
mile and Philadelphia paid So
100000 a mile. Ordinary one-deck
elevateds run 100000 mile.'
Rowe finished and patented his
three deck elevated system three
years ago, but it has not been sub
mitted to any city, he said.
The inventor, a resident of De-
troit for the last is years, is dec
orator by trade.

Farmers of California are more

Civil Works employees, embraced
14,185 farm homes, or little more

state. One question asked was
whether the householder would be
interested in borrowing money to
finance construction, repairs or
improvements, repayments were
distributed over 10 years and the
interest rate was low. In rs per
cent of the replies the answer was
5"No.' Many said, "Give us

ducts and Wei fix our houses
