the statistician. Frequently wide
differences occur between them.
But as to the general trend as out
lined above most of the index
numbers agree.
If we consider business from
1923 to 1925 as normal and 100,

How Indexes

are called index numbers. That is,
larger number of factors - pro-

are Jumped together and aver

by statisticians. Then business at
Il given period, which is considered
normal, is called 100--a measuring
index number of 100. Thereafter
we can express the rise or fall by
figures lower or higher than that
100. Many such numbers are
compiled by various statisticians.
Each chooses his own factors.

vigor of its own. 1t remains now,
as it has been since the beginning
of the depression, the one big spot
in our industry which must be
dealt with before true recovery
can be attained.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-01
Production
Increased

This is the general picture. We
must now look at it more in
detail. What did business do these
of goods? This is the measure of
our struggle toward abundance.
Well, we produced more goods in
these six months of 1894. 1t was IA
per cent better in January, 1895,
than in January, 1894. In Febru-
airy it was 9 per cent better. In
March it was AT per cent better.
In April it was IL per cent better.
In May 1t was 1 per cent less. Re-
liable figures for June are not yet
available. The total production
for the whole six months of 1885
was per cent better than in the
same six months of 1884.
However, this was due largely
to increased production of automo-
biles. If we take them out of the
total, production was abeut the
same. In fact the automobile in
dustry has furnished the single
instance of marked recovery. Last
year in five months the motor
makers turned out 1,475,965 cars.
This year in the same time they
made 1,9SS,637 cars or half mill
lion more. Put differently, this
was roughly 80 per cent better.
Meantime the railroads did not
do SO well. They hauled little
less freight. And the tendency
Of rail business was down. while
last year it was up. AS for their
earning, they have been nearly
the same. The railroad story can
be told in the simple statement
that it has neither improved nor
declined. Perhaps we may say
that since many of the roads are
in the throes of reorganization
they are thus that much nearer to
returning health. But this might
be considered rash statement.

Scandal Stirs SEC Fears

Agitation inside the securities
and exchange commission has
been much greater than anyone
would admit since arrest in New
York of former $4,000 year
SEC investigator charged with at
tempting to sell out the SEC case
against an oil $ t % C k broker for
$27,500.
One group is demanding more
rigid standards for personnel and
close scrutiny of many already
hired. The man arrested had asked
the oil broker for job for anoth-
er SEC employee who presumably
was in one the deal.
Rumors of Wall street spies
and "fixers' alleged to be on the
SEC payroll have been common
here for months.
The s'inside" group revolving
around Chairman Joe, Kennedy
is also disturbed. 1t hopes the
news won't leak into the news
papers that the prisoner, when
hired by SEC, was known to
have been pool operator Tor
famous New York brokerage
house.
In defense of Kennedy, who
himself once played in pools, 1t is
said that he felt sympathetic for
the fellow at a time when the lat
ter had ben having bad luck.
On all sides, there's intense In
terest in the question whether the

oner's statements to the broker,
taken down just before his arrest
and referring to certain SEC OFF,

Building
Still Lays

The one important, even vital
area of industry which stub
bornly resists revival is the build
ing industry. Much misrepresen-
tation has been printed about this.
AS part of the effort to revive con-
struction it has been supposed to
be necessary to use no end of bal
lyhoo. Every little favorable fac
tor has been exaggerated out of
all proportion. And 1 find the
impression created that building is
taking on active life. This is not
true. 1t is behind last year. The

Parma, Italy, Nov. 19, It is certain that Luciano Cod eluppi had a beard and mus tache and it is just as certain that after a thunderstorm he was clean shaven. He says the lightning shaved him.
 Here is his story:
 Codeluppi, who lives in the village of Fraore de San Pan- crazio, was leaning out of the window watching the lightn- ing flicker across the fields when a sudden flash seemed to hit the house and threw him back into the room. When he put his hand to his face he found that his mustache and beard had disappeared.
 Otherwise he was uninjur- ed.

Partnership Will
 Bid On School
 Building for Nome

Typifying one side of
 civic spirit, the partner
 ship agreement tween H.
 E Reimer, H F Patterson,
 Art Brown. Victer Lind,
 and Ernest Atteberry, was
 announced today, for the
 purpose of arranging to
 bid on construction of the
 proposed new school build
 ing at Nome, plans and
 specification of which are
 due to arrive here soon
 from Juneau.
 These persons are all car penterS and individual con- tractors, and have associated themselves, it was stated, for the purpose of attempting to gain the bid, thereby bring ing the money to Nome and keeping the great majority of it here-a move in competi- tion with any outside concern which might make a bid.
 Definite information as to how many bidders there will probably be, is lacking, but it is believed that numerous local business concerns will be interested and possibly bid on the project. This partner ship it was further made known, may possibly do their complete ordering of mater ial through local business es- tablishments, which is a fur ther step toward keeping the money at home.
 It is understood they are in a position to start work on preparing their bid as soon as the plans arrive at Nome, which will be very shortly, in order that the bids may be sent to Juneau and the award made before the fifteenth of December.
 It was also reported that local business houses carry ing various lines of building material would possibly be in a position to take care of nearly all the requirements
