OPTIMISM RULES
PLUMBING TRADE
1895 Gains of 20 to 90 Per
Cent Regarded as Only
Start of Upturn.
Rv the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, December ga con-
tinuance Of the upward trend in
plumbing and heating equipment sales,
which increased 1885 production 20
to 40 per cent over 1884, is expected
by manufacturers, a survey showed to-
day
With the industries now in the most
advantageous position they have occu-
pied since 1880. further gains result
ing from acceleration of new con-
struction and modernization of resi-
Dental, commercial, and industrial
structures are expected next year, the
survey, made by the Plumbing and
Heating Industries Bureau, indicated.
C. b Nolte, president of Crane Co,
said: AN actual shortage of good
housing is creating an insistent build
ing demand. Modern designs and new
ideas add to the attractiveness of the
supply. With general conditions
smoothing out, these dammed-up forces
of supply and demand are being loosed,
to result in steady improvement of
plumbing and heating sales"
Forsees Active Year.
Walter j. Kohler, president of Kohler
Co., said: THE home requirements are
so great, in my opinion. that there will
be an increase in building in spite
of whatever political policies may be
formulated and carried out. This
presages a more active business next
year for the manufacturers Of plumb
ing fixtures, although the volume will
still be far from normal"
H. M. Reed. president, Standard
Sanitary Manufacturing Co.: THE
tide has turned. For the first time in
years our industry can look for
ward to activity in new building. Our
plants in Baltimore and Pittsburgh,
which were idle for three years, are
operating again. Other plants in
Louisville, Trenton, N. j.; Tif1n,
Ohio; Kokomo, Ind; Richmond,
Calf, and San Pablo, Calf, are CIV
ing increased employment"
Whole Nation UnderbuiIt.
ROLAND ]. Hamilton, president,
American Radiator Co.; ION the ba-
sis of supply and demand as they
existed in 1929, the country is ap-
proximately six years underbuilt
residentially. The trend in residen-
| tial building has now been upward
for approximately IL months and at
an accelerated rate of increase. A
study of precedents indicates a great
wave of residential construction.
Elton S. Wayland, vice president OF
the American Brass Co., said a sur
vey of activities of customers taking
from the company copper and alloys
for remanufacture indicates not only
a remarkable increase in demand,
but also notable advancement from
a scientific and efficiency point OF
view. 1--WE consider the outlook for
the plumbing and heating industries
brighter than for years past"

NATIONAL INCOME
At RECOVERY PEAK
Money Total of 46.7 Per
Cent Above Low, but Real
Income Rises Less.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 28.-1t Is
evident that when final reports are
available they will show that 1885 has
been the third successive year Of i'm
provement in economic conditions, ac-
cording to the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute. At the same time, they will
show that full recovery is still con-
siderable distance away.
A preliminary estimate indicates that
the national money income produced In
the United States in 1885 was 81 per
cent larger than in 1884, 46 per cent
larger than at the depression's low in
1882, but 33.l per cent smaller than in
the pre-depression year 1929.
Absorbed by Price Rise.
Part Of the recovery in the national
money income during the last three
years, however, was absorbed by rise
in the price level. Consequently, real
income showed less of a gain than
money income. Real income produced
in 1885 was only 2.8 per cent larger
than in 1884 and 1879 per cent larger
than In 1882. At the same time, de-
spite the smaller increase in real in
come than in money income, real in
come made q more favorable compari.
son with the pre-depression amount
than money income.
This was due to the fact that, from
1929 to 1882, the decline In real In.
come was much less pronounced than
the decline in money income. Dur
ing that period, money income declined
54.3 per cent while real income de-
clined $50 per cent. AS a result, real
income in 1885 was only 20.3 per cent
smaller than in 1929 as compared with
the decrease of 33.l in money income,
notwithstanding the less pronounced
recovery in the former than in the
latter. However, real income, which Is
the true measuring rod Of the economic
state Of the Nation, represented, in
1885, the recovery of only 1874 per cent
of the ground lost in the 192s-ls32
slump.
Farm Output Smaller.
The failure Of the real income pro-
put. The quantity Of agricultural
more than an 1s.9 per cent increase
over the low for the depression was
due entirely to the smaller output Of
agricultural products as the result Of
the drought in 1884 and the Govern
ment's restriction Of agricultural out
put. The quantity Of agricultural
products. especially meat. which came
to market in 1895, was smaller than
in any year Of the depression. The
increase in the total real income in
1885 over the 1882 amount was thus
due entirely to gain in mine and
factory output which showed 9 consid-
erablely greater recovery than the total
real income of the Nation. -..
In view of the duration and es-
pecially, of the extent Of the recovery
movement in the national money in
come since 1882, it Is unlikely that
money income will, at the most, show
more than slight extension Of the re-
covery movement in 1886. In fact, Q
moderate recession would not be sur
prising. However, there is q good
possibility that real income will con-
tinue It's upward trend Of the past
three years.

Low MONEY RATES
HELD ST|MULANT
FOR 1886 BUSINESS
Expected to Spur Construc'
ton and Production OF
Capital Facilities.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

A further decline this year in the
cost of money to borrowers has inf1u-
enced greatly appraisals of 1886 busi-
ness prospects by some New Deal
financial heads.
Low interest rates, they hold. should
exert increasing force toward acceler-
ating expansion in construction and in
the production of capital facilities.
From all indications, cheap money
remains pivot of the administrators
recovery program, with the R. F. C.
and other agencies seeking to expedite
the decline in the long-term rate OF
borrowing for two of the most de-
pressed sectors of ndustry-building
and the railroads.
Borrowers Encouraged.
The so-called breathing spell Tor
business seems to have been aimed IN
part at encouraging borrowers to
avail themselves of the mounting sup
ply of idle capital seeking employ
ment at the lowest rates in years.
The continued fall in interest rates
in the first six months embraced chiefly
short time funds and borrowers at the
top of the credit rating list.
But a broadening area of declining
rates was evident in the rise in sec
ondary bonds, mainly rails, in recent
months and resumption of private
lending against mortgages at rates
which met or bettered by those oi
Federal agencies.
Talk of 21a per cent rate on Fed
eral long-term obligations came neal
realization last Summer when the
Treasury sold bonds at auction on q
yield basis of less than 234 per cent.
Extending the decline in previous
years. the average yield on outstand-
ing Treasury bonds in July dropped TX
2.59 per cent compared with 2.sI
at the end of 1884 and 1888 yearly
average of 331 per cent.
Cost Rises Slightly.
At the peak of the Government
bond market last Summer, the Treas
ury obtained short loans for the
record low cost of about 1-20 of pei
cent.
Since then the cost of Government
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as the most sen.
sitive barometer of money trends-haS
increased slightly. Some bond mer
see the 1885 lows on Federal loans a:
rock bottom, although there is wide
belief that money rates may remain
very low for long time.
Meanwhile, Federal reserve indicet
reflect a continued fall in rates
charged on bank loans outside New
York City.
However, Jesse H Jones, head Of the
Reconstruction Corporation, contends
cheap money has not spread its bene.
fits widely enough to justify a with.
drawal of Federal credit agencies from
the lending field.

 Early Career of McManus
 The creator of Jiggs and Maggie was born A9 years ago in St. Louis, Mo. His father, George, senior, was manager of the old Grand Opera House there, so that the future car- toonist had many opportunities to see shows without having to worry about the price of Q ticket.
 However, even when a boy, George McNanus was especially enthusias- tic about drawing. He amazed his drawing teacher with his ability. Other lessons in the classroom failed to interest him and ct fifteen he was tired of school.
 He insisted on drawing pictures surreptitiously during geography, gratntnar and arithmetic lessons, until one day he was caught. His teacher informed the elder Mc- Mafus that his son had been rnisbe- having in the classroom by drawing pictures at the wrong time. Mir. Me- Manus, senior, investigated, and be- came convinced that young George wanted to do only two things; he wanted to quit school and to draw.
 So, much to the aspiring cartoon-
