COPPER IMPROVEMENT
IS BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT

According - an article by the
Royal Bank OF Canada. world
consumption Of copper attain
ed new high record during the
past year. and If the present
volume OF production is main.
tanned il should not take long
to consume excess existing
stocks.
The United States is at a
divergence with the information
al trend, both production and
consumption are at very low
levels in this country, and we
likewise possess the bulk Of
present world stocks. How
ever, observers look for a rise
in demand that will bring a
better balance between it and
production.
Generally speaking the OBJ
stacles to copper mining i'm
provement appear TO be fewer.
Perhaps the clouds that have
long dimmed this basic indus
Try are thinning at last.

A LOGICAL GOVERN
MENT UNDERTAKING

In his address TO Congress
on proposed public works for
the current year, the President
laid down certain broad princi-
pies on which he wished the
program to be based Among
them were: That projects be
determined on the basis Of the
amount OF direct labor they
would provide: that the highest
possible percentage OF the
money spent 90 into pay envel-
opes; that the work produce
things that would be Of definite
public usefulness; that the pro-
iects be OF a type that would
not compete with private en-
deavor.
Few public works projects
could better fit those principles
than Embarrassing elimination.
The great bulk Of every dollar
spent would 60 TO labor, both
on the job and in heavy indus
tries, paint, cement, steel, etc.
providing necessary supplies.
No private business would be
harmed. And the public
would not only receive the
boom OF stimulated purchasing
power, but would be benefited
in another vastly important
field, safety.
Thousands OF people have
been killed at grade crossings
each year brings rs heavy toll
Only a small proportion of the
thousands Of existing crossings
are adequately protected Past
campaigns to eliminate cross
ings have produced some results
but lack of funds has brought
such work almost to a stop
No work is more in the pub
lie interest than grade crossing
elimination, and It's cost should
be borne entirely by the public
instead OF the railroads because
everyone in the country would
reap the benefit.

HAS THE DIRECT
PRIMARY FAILED?

There is a growing volume of
criticism of the direct primary
sysrem--and it comes from sim
cere and patriotic students of
governmental practice who say
that the workings of the plan
have been disappointing.
Reason behind the direct
primary was the corruption that
had occasionly appeared in the
covention system 1t was be-
lleved by hon st reformers that
the direct primary would elimi-
nate this---and put a higher
type of man into public office.
In that, it has failed almost
completely. The calibre of
public officials is no greater now
than nifty years ago---perhaps
1T is less. Political chicanery
has increased rather than waned.
And the direct primary's worst
offspring---the long ballot---has
made intelligent voting impossi-
bic in nost states. Voters are
confronted with a ballot con-
tanning scores and sometimes
hundreds of names of candidates
and they must either not vote,
or vote in the dark. 1t seems
only a question of time before
the direct primary system must
be amended.

One sixteenth of the dam was
brought to full height and ap-
proximately one third more will
be completed within a few dayss
The lake behind the barrier is

FEDERAL RESERVE REPORT
SHOWS TRADE UP
TURN CONTINUING

Washington, March, 5. A
steady upturn in business, with
industrial production during
January and the first half Of
February the highest for the
period since 1890 was reported
by the Federal Reserve Board
IN It's monthly analysis. All
reports on retail trade for last
few months have shown the
same upward trend, with indi-
cations that If the boat is not
rocked the nation will soon ap.
proach noimalcy.
The Boards seasonally ad-
lusted index showed industrial
production for January at 90
per cent Of the l923--25 aver
age. and incomplete reports in
dicated the level was being
maintained by most lines in
February.
While pointing with optimism
TO the general industrial level,
the Reserve Board laid finger
on the black spot OF recovery
the construction industry. the
industry which is mired deepest
in trade union strife and bitk-
ering.
In terms OF recovery, the
high level OF Industrial activity
means that more jobs have
been provided. and that mid
winter failed 10 retard the
steady strides being made
toward prosperity.
The Reserve Board reported
marked improvement in most
lines OF industrial production,
but construction was reported
considerably smaller than a
year ago. Combined efforts
OF the Housing Administration
and other emergency bureaus
appear 10 have been insufficient
TO bolster building out of its
lethargy.
Jurisdictional disputes and
wage strikes on construction
projects have discouraged those
who otherwise would invest in
new buildings and ether inn
prOvements requiring long-term
financing. There have been
innumerable strikes by workers
receiving 81 an hour or more,
some demanding higher pay
and others pickering over which
trade should be assigned to a
particular Job.
The story OF what these
union fights are costing the un-
employed, is told in all reports
that show construction still
dragging the bottom.

Insects Protected

Insects are protected from sub
zero temperature through a severe
winter If they crawl inside the bark
of a tree. Tests at the Department
of Agriculture indicate that a half
inch of bark insulates insects by 8
degrees. one inch of bark causes a
difference of 20 degrees and two
inches of bark shields bugs by %
degrees.

Bees Have Polieewomen

Bees have an efficient force OF
"policewomen." who guard the en-
trance OF the hive and demand a

tries TO enter. This Is to prevent
