gestures. President Roosevelt said the usual course of such price cycles had been disturbed by foreign buy ing of steel and ike supplies in competition with factory builders. Prices of certain producer goods were too high. he said. He stopped public works spending in that field.
 Governor Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board, while recognizing the growing demand for producer goods, declined to let interest rise on money used for buying them. High interest rates increase costs of build ing factories and so increase the cost of consumer goods ultimately produced. Factories built with cost ly money are often first to shut down as prices drop and so aggra- vate the recession.
 Secretary Wallace says higher taxes and wages must be paid to keep excessive savings from piling up in the hands of investors. These investors will want to build more factories than are needed flush the land with an over supply of con- sumer goods and so start the down. ward price cycle before its time.
 Does it all dovetail?

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Inch at a time more light is being thrown on President Roosevelt's price pol icies, but it may help to draw a map of his course
 The ring around -the-rosy of price cycles is only one phase of the climb and drop of the business cy- cle but administration efforts to check the violence of the business cycle recently have been directed at the price phase.
 Consumer goods become a drug on the market when consumers lose their jobs or much of their income. Prices, as a result, spiral down ward, except possibly monopoly con- trolled prices, which are another story. When consumer goods pric- es are low, there is little incentive for factories to manufacture them, and even less incentive for investors to start building or enlarging fac- tories.

capable, are extremely dependable and loyal to the people they serve In return they have the complete loyalty of their people, who are almost completely dependent upon them now that the dog team is on the way out. Although the larger airports are well laid out, some of the tiny fields onto which the pilots set their planes with large loads, day after day as matter of course, would give a pilot from below heart failure if pointed out to him as landing field. Of course, when the ground is snow covered and the planes are on skis, the landing field problem is much simplified. The best time of the year for flying, it would seem to me, is in the spring. just before the thaw, when skis are still in use and the days are long enough to give plenty of light.
 Although seaplane flying, such as in Southeast Alaska, and in the 1n- terior during the open months, IS almost peculiar to Alaska, its prob lems are not acute as climatic con- ditions are not so severe, and trans portation facilities for supplies are present." Pilot Looff concluded.

Now for very long time there aes been competition among the midnight ministers and marrying clerks in Maryland fer getting the Washington business. Such is the competition that sign boards along the highway greet motorists with the information that 200 feet ahead is a clerk who will perform uniln- peachable marriage ceremonies at any hour.
 There have been purity campaigns to stop that sort Of thing but it hasn't even slowed down, and if anything could be devised to help it along it would be gin marriage bill.

MORAL. UpLIFT BUG'S AT WORK UPON CONGRESS-
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON. May 26. - Some of Congress- brighter minds got an idea the other day that it would be a good plan to impose a gin marriage law on Washington, and if they do it will be grand thing for nearby midnight ministers" in Maryland who will marry just about anything in sight at any hour
 To understand just how funny such a law would be it must be understood that Maryland joins on Washington.
 The streets of Washington run right on into Maryland without so much as a white line marking the intersection. The principal differ ence is that on the Maryland side the taxes are reported bit high CT since the people can't run to Congress for hsip in paying police and paving bills

THE UPWARD TURN

At the bottom of the depression price-dip, government spending, pressure of necessity and other fac- tors begin pushing up consumer demand. These factors initiate an up turn in the business cycle. So far, so good.
 The demand for consumer goods grows to a point where factories take on more help, buy more ma terials, and cause more employ ment and more purchasing power Ultimately more factories seem nec- essary, and look profitable.
 Building and enlarging of fac tories calls on the heavy goods in dustries for structural materials. Employment increases rapidly when the upturn invades that field.
 In turn this increased employ ment em and s more consumer goods-food, shoes, household fur nishings, clothes, that sort of thing. Prices rise because consumers bid against each other. All the time the consuming power is increasing, melting more factory building, more employment, and yet more consumer power-a cycle within a cycle.
 But it takes time for the new factories to get into production so the supply of consumer goods is not increased as fast as the demand. Usually this puts prices of consumer goods up higher than producer goods, the stuff that goes into fac tories. Yet this demand for con- sunner goods incites fast investment for new factories, and competition for producer goods booms.

NO COMEBACK


 Washington has had marriage troubles before. The city is filled with lads and lassies from out in the shelter-belt areas who got jobs here because their father helped the Congressman carry his precinct. They get lonesome for the sound of quiet night and marriage is the next logical step, since both have jobs and two incomes are better than one
 In the tough days of year or so back an ediict was issued that husband and wife could not both hold Federal jobs. That put a real crimp in the marrying business for a while, but apparently there were ways of getting around that. A Federal employees organization, which did not like the edict came forward with information that many of the lonesome couples were sim ply beginning to live together with out benefit of clergy.
 Act.ally the gin-marriage talk was mostly an outeropping of the Congressional yen to make the peo- pie moral by law, which suffered a setback with repeal Besides, it is safe and comfortable in practice on Washington. The people here can't vote.
