NEW YORK, September 2s.-sales
and production increases in the dual
industry of plumbing and heating
equipment we're considerably greater.
than gains made by business in gen.
eral and fully in line with the recovery
evident in the building trades during
the first eight months of 1896, accord
ing to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
Moderate price advances were re-
ported in several cities and were ex--
pected TO materialize shortly in many
others. Collections from contractors
and retail outlets were only fair, but
most accounts were improving The
number of failures remained the same
as for the corresponding period OF
1895.
Significant for the plumbing and
heating industry is the advance made
by building in 1886. An index of the
value of new residential construction
compiled by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, with the 1888 monthly
average 100, records these figures:
June, l934-823; June, 1935-24s6:
June, 1936-742.9. The last Is the
highest since April, 1881.
Reports from 10 cities producing
heating and plumbing supplies indi-
cate that the substantial increases in
output schedules which characterized
the first seven months of 1886 con-
tinued unabated during August Pro-
duction increases over 1885 averaged
about 25 per cent last month. with
most cities increases in volume of out
put holding close TO the average. Only
one, the country's principal automotiye
center. differed sharply from the gen.
eral level of gains. reporting greater
advances ranging from As TO so per
cent.
According to recent reports from
the Bureau of the Census total net
sales of SAB equipment manufacturers
in June we're 80 per cent ahead of the
same month in 1885. Producers sales
of mechanical stokers for the first
months Of 1886 were 81 per cent
ahead of the same period last year
and 2l9 per cent above the 1884 COM
parative. Plumbing brass shipments
for the half year ran 26 per cent
higher than in 1885. For the first
seven months of the current year pro-
duction OF vitreous clay bath room sc-
cessories. a sample of II manufacture
ers showed. ran 258 per cent above
the same period last year.
Many manufacturers viewing the
future course of their markets con-
slider the present forward trend so
strong that the usual Fall and Winter
let-down will be barely perceptible"

Eloping Young Couples Return Saved eros
Ventre Village on Wolf Creek in Early Days

Of their campfires and the sIashed

The two boys rode until they reached
eros Ventures camp where some az
Sitting Woman's relatives lived. There
they were given shelter and care until
their fathers and elder brothers came
for them
Because his relatives had cared for
the boys, Sitting Woman gave to his
brother-in-law the spotted horse, tell
ing him to cut the horses name ard
tail, placing him in mourning for the
dead women and children
That night dream came to the man
who had been given the horse and who
had cut the flowing name and tan
In the dream the horse came to the
man and said:

the dream and IN the morning went
at once to where the horse was teth-

and fresh water but the horse would
not touch it. Day after day the man
brought him food and water but the
horse slowly pined and faded unt1
one morning when the man came 10
tend him he found him dead The
entire camp mourned the death Of the
horse and word was sent to Sitting
Woman and Weasel that the animal
had died in spite Of the care given
him.
Weasel placed his lodge in mourning
for the dead animal and made q song
praising his bravery and fieetness
So came TO an end the beautiful

Weasel, who wore around his neck
a string Of black and white beads, lift
ed them and said.
IF one of the enemy could have
shot through the hole In one of these
beads, would have been killed. So
swift was this horse that we made no
target for their arrows. He was as q
graSShopper shining in the sun, SHIN
mering and dazzling the eyes with his
beauty. He was born to save us. Here
after he shall be honored as only the
bravest warriors are"
After the Crees and Assinniboines
had returned to their own country, they
sent messengers to the Gros Ventres
DraiSing the bravery Of the warrior,
Weasel, and the neetness of the horse.
Weasel, they said, should be given
only the choicest parts of the buffalo
for his food. A song had been made in
his honor and he had been named

Some months later Sitting Woman
moved his camp to pleasant site at
the foot of the Sweetgrass hills. Their
enemies, the Crees and Assinniboines
had left them in peace for q period
and Sitting Woman felt secure for the
time being.
One day the warriors and younger
men Of the village had all gone hunt
