Surge of Domestic Industry
IGNORES Floods and Politics

duced many holders to cash pape,
profits.
Stocks Demonstrate Resiliency.
AS the midyear approached, how
ever. stock prices had demonstrated
| their resiliency by almost wipine
out the April break. The reputedly
shrewd traders of Wall Street were
showing their wariness chiefly In
sharply curtailed activity in the
markets.
Department store sales topped the
same period in 1885 by about 8 per
cent and were about 80 per cent
ahead of the worst depression levels,
while some large mail order and chain
merchandisers reported late Spring
volumes as best in their histories.
America apparently took to the
novel system of offering new auto
mobile models in the Fall instead of
at the first of the year and, with a
fatter pocketbook, added brisk Spring
orders to excellent Autumn response
Farm Income Up.
These and similar barometers OF
public buying cleared rapidly under
the sunny influence of a IL per cent
addition to farmers income in the
first half compared with last year, tc
a total estimated at $4,000, 900 900
against $2,957. 900, 900; about a 10 per
cent boost in pay rolls, which brought
them up some "a per cent or more
from the 1892 worst, and a 4 per cent
calculated increase in factory employ
ment from 1885 to 1886.
Unemployment. however, remained
The jobless army was variously set
in the absence of definite count, at
1000, 900 to 1O,O00,O 900. or even more.
AS an antidote to this, many busi-
ness analysts looked chiefly to the
quickened pace of the capital goods
industries. Automobile buying of steel,
which made the first breech in the
log jam of the heavy lines, no longer
was the only encouraging factor in
this picture.
Capital Goods Respond.
Hopes. in addition, were being
pinned on a real revival of materials
buying by the railroads, which were
backed by the rising curve Of traffic,
private building and plant modern
ization, promoted by better business
profits, and the ease with which big
industry could obtain funds in glut-
ted money market.
The crux of the situation. observ-
ers said, was mirrored in Standard
Statistics index Of capital goods pro-
duction, the latest compilation Of
which stood at ITO, with 1926 being
calculated as 100, while the consumers
goods industries index on a similar
base was 1919.
At the same time, optimism was
derived from the fact that the first
half of this year showed a lift of SO
per cent for capital goods from the
first half of 1885 and of 90 per cent
from 1888.

coach of the University of Ne

In a reply to the attack on
Pitts athletic policies by the Daily

Coach Bible stated:
"Our relationship with Pitts
burgh has been cordial, and 1
feel that the games have been to
our mutual benefit"
In an editorial the Daily NebraS-
kan demanded that Pittsburgh be
dropped from the Nebraska foot
ball schedule as soon as it can be
replaced by team which resorts
to clean, wholesome amateur prac-
ticeS."
Bible countered with a statement
that the CornhuSkers have a con-
tract with Pitt for two more years.
Since 1921 the two teams have met
on the gridiron eleven times, Pitt
winning seven, Nebraska one, and
three having been tied.

prior to his winning effort in the
Tench Handicap last Thursday,

Dulaney'S Troubadora instead.
Kerr said that after he worked
Troubadora this morning, a
sponge which he turned over to
the stewards, was dislodged from
the nose of the two-year filly.
Kerr thinks that the vandals
missed Aneroid, due to his taking
the colt out of his regular stall
last Wednesday night and putting
the filly in his place.

That is the consensus of opin
ion among New York sports writ
erS polled in New York Monday.
The choice of L. S. U. is based
on the following:
Cd L. S. U. is the championship
team of the Southeastern Confer
ence. If L. S. U. wins over Tulane
and Alabama wins over Vandy
this week, L. S. U. remains the
Southeastern titleholder, since
the Tigers will have won every
conference game, while Alabama
will have won all but one, that a
tie against Tennessee.
CD L. S. U. has had the heavi-
est schedule among the top teams
of the country, shading even such
StalWarts as Minnesota, Alabama
and Washington.
90 L. S. U. in all authentic rat
ings is ranked either first or sec
ond, sharing honors with Mime

(5) The Bayou Tigers, with
their cadet corps of $500 and

greatest show it ever had.
