BUSINESS ESCAPES
USUAL SPRING SLUMP
Factory Payroll Gains 225,-
600; Durable Goods
Making Gains

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
reports that business escaped the usual
spring slump; that 225,OOO workers
were added to factory payrolls during
April and payrolls increased in the same
period $4,2OO,O00 a week. This gain
brought the factory payroll index up to
where it stood in October 1880. The re-
port added that the durable goods in
dustries, which have been the slowest
to start recovery, 'are making gains of
major Importance" especially so in fur
mace steel works, rolling mills, automo-
biles, electrical machinery, foundries and
sawmills.'
The employment index in the durable
goods industries in April advanced "
per cent. above the low of, March, 1888.

1904 MILLIONS LOANED
FARMERS IN 3 YEARS
Ninety Per Cent. of Money
Used to Pay Off Debts
and Taxes

At the completion of its third year
on May q, the Federal Farm Credit
Administration had loaned $3,7O4OOO.-
900 on more than 100000 long-term first
and second mortgage security through
the Federal land banks and land bank
commissioner. The applications covered
about half of all mortgaged farms in the
country. The FCA has also built up ia
cilities for making short term loans and
loans to farmers cooperatives and the
volume loaned through these institutions
is not far short of the tremendous
amount advanced on farm mortgages
through the land banks Ninety per
cent of mortgage loan proceeds was used
to pay off old debts, including local
taxes.

ashamed and penitent that his wife
feels sorry for him. Going home at
night. he throws tie, collar, shirt and
shoes to the four winds, and reads
and smokes until dinner. He hates to
dress up again to go out, but does so
under protest Ordinarily he lets the

Give me the average men, for he's a

The best letters I've found among

Man so far have been from women.
But they should know the Average
Man best!
Here's what a man, Seymour L.
Smith, Bound Brook, N. j., thinks of
Mr.. A. M: after completing his
schooling, the Average Man takes any
position he can get. BY slow degrees
he reaches the limit that his position
will pay. The call for a home of his
own becomes too great for him to re-
sist so he gets married. He has Wis
ions of getting more lucrative posi-
ton or going into business eor him
self, but the responsibilities of bring
ing up family make him cautious.
He is afraid to risk an adventure.
Instead Of using his spare time to fit
himself for greater proficiency, what
pleasures his means afford absorb it.
He settles into. rut and there he
remains the rest of his life"
Mr.. Smith takes exception to the
statement made here that ice is an
exception to the law that heat ex-
pands and cold contracts. IT was

Tyndall established that in the case

and expansion by cold sets il at 80

The Average Man, healthy and we'll

without food, provided he is not ex-
posed to severe cold, avoids physical
work and keeps his mental calm!
This was determined by Prof, A. j.
Carlson, University of Chicago, in re-
searches which made the so-called
hunger strikes of Gandhi compare
lively harmless.
More interesting in some of the in
formation readers contesting for the
unabridged dictionary we offer are
telling us about the Average Man.
Mrs. c. A. Laufenburg, San Antonio.
Tex, tells on him:
THE Average Man, likes to be COM
Portable first of all. He waits the
bathroom to himself in the morning,
and when he has slid into his bath
robe and slippers, he wants his break
fast ready-his coffee just right, his
eggs exactly. While he eats he reads
the morning paper between bites.
Dresses leisurely, puts a smoke in
his mouth, and is off for the day. He
spends two hours at lunch, at a GER
tain cafe, with his friend Bill They
talk politics and sports. His eye with

stays "hitched." If ever he does run
