an upturn in the construction indus

The evidence is pretty clear" said
a report yesterday to Secretary Ickes,
P. w. A. administrator, that without
P W. A there would have been NO
improvement worth mentioning in the
important construction industry
The report conceded with publica-
ticn of an executive order by Presi-
dent Roosevelt continuing functions
of P. w. A., which was extended two
years from June is, expiration date
of the recovery act by the work re-
lief law.
The order reallocated unobligated
balances of between $l00,000.00 and
5000, 0,000, 900 and authorized P w. A.
to sell bonds it had acquired in max
ing loans.
Private Contracts Studied.
The report on the s2,50o, 100000 Of
P. w. A. funds allotted for construc-
tion was based partly on a special
study by the F. w. Dodge Corp. Of
private contract awards in 81 States.
There has been practically no in
crease in the total volume of con-
struction privately financed since the
Summer of 1933." said the report,
asserting that an increase in all con-
struction in the 81 States was ac-
counted for by P. w. A. projects.
Private construction" it said, has
continued at about the level attained
in the Summer of 1888. but consid-
erably below the level of 1882.

vately financed construction. as re-

on P. w. A. contracts was reached In
October and November. 1888, although
the maximum expenditure did not
come until July, 1884. Another peak
in expenditures is due this Summer

that its 100000 railroad loan
program had given work for varying
periods to 100000 men.
"As a result of these loans" il
said, manufacturers who in 1888 re-

The newspaper business has been
on its economic and industrial fore

Size of Papers Increased.
But. somewhere in the middle 80s
the size of newspapers began to in
crease.
Advertising passed gently out of the
realm of rather punctilious blackmail
or soft-spoken mendacity and became
legitimate business expenditure.
The increase in advertising. which
doubled, trebled and Quadrupled the
size of American newspapers In big
towns and in little ones. reflected the
quick rise of mass production in in
dustry.
The machines had begun to wake
up. They were making things faster
than fashioned merchandising
methods could move them from the
factory doors.
Hence advertising. creating new de-
sires and wider hungers. became one
of the major agencies Of the American
distributive system.
Wages Began to Increase.
The faster the wheels whirled ir
