TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY
By RUSSELL KAY

This is the season Of the year
when thousands Of folks who swell
ter and sizzle under the blister
ing sun in the north and middle
west console thmsslves with the
thought that it might be worse
and moppin' their fevered brows
say, SITS terrible, this heat, but
Imagine the poor devils down in
lFL0RIDAp
They just can't seem to get it
Through their heads that heat and
humidity are one thing and sun
shine is somethin' else. They have
been taught to think of Florida as
land Of warmth and sunshine
and conclude that since we enjoy
mild climate in winter, it must
naturally follow that our summers
are unbearable.
They lose sight of the fact that
the same Gulf Stream that TEN.
pers our atmosphere in winter
plays an equally important part
in maintaining an even tempera-
ture here throughout the sum-
mer. They also overlook the
work of the Master Architect in
providing rs with natural air con-
ditioning, cooling showers and
friendly gulf and ocean breezes
that sweep across the state almost
constantly.
And the thing that makes me
hotter than the heat wave is the
fact that no matter how hard you
try to explain or how much indis-
putable evidence you present
the average bird who has never
been here in summer just natur-
ally won't believe a word you say.
/ can imagine Just what our
folks at the Florida Exhibit in
Cleveland are going through right
now trying to convince skeptical
Clevelanders that Florida is a
much more desirable place to live
right now than Ohio.
They can point out the fact
that not one single death or heat
prostration is recorded in Florida
and that such fatalities are I'M
known here. They can compare
temperature readings in various
cities throughout the country TO
prove the advantage Florida en-
joys, but all to no avail.
No matter what you say it is
accepted as just so much hooey,
and you might as well try and
convince them that white is
black.
I'm not contendin' it don't get
hot in Florida; it does, every so
often the sun bears down and for
an hour or two we may be down
right uncomfortable, but it is .
different kind of a heat from that
experienced in the north and west
that settles down on you like .
blanket and smothers you for days
at a time with no let up day or
night.
l don't know whether you've
noticed it or not, but here in
Florida. no matter how hot it may
be out in the sun, if you get in
the shade Of tree or even tele-
phone pole you always find it
several degrees cooler. Then the

OUTLOOK BETTER
IN MACHINE TRADE
Possibility of Price Rise
BrIghtens Near Term
Earnings PROSPECTS,,
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 2s.-The near.
term outlook for the machine tool
industry Is frightened by the posi-.
bility Of 4 rise IN prices, trade Oh.
servers said.
Recent labor strife In the Middle
West had . doubly unfavorable effect
on the industry. In the frst place,
it served to bring higher costs and to
cut OF raw material supplies. Second
ly, 1t caused some contraction In new
business.
Notwithstanding the fact, domestic
buyers have been timld about placing
new orders, the situation Is not with
out its bright side.
"A possible 10 TO 20 per cent
machine tool price advance later this
year may result in some decrease in
domestic business, but manufacturers
presumably could take up the lag
by accepting more foreign contracts"
says Poor's Publishing Co.
The National Machine Tool Builders
Association index of domestic machine
tool orders dropped from a high OF
1925 in April to 1876 in June, or
nearly Al per cent
The drop in new business, never
theless, did not materially impair sec.
ond quarter earnings This. 1t was
argued, was because companies were
working at capacity on orders then
on hand.
AS some see it, the months directly
ahead may enjoy capacity operations,
but heavy business done since 1885
has cut into the large potential de-
mand
A study on obsolescence BY the
American Machinist indicated that in
1885 about IS per cent Of the coun-
trys metal-Uorking equipment was
more than 10 years old. compared with
about 48 per cent in 1890 and a per
cent in 1928.
Trade observers say It Is difficult
statistically to determine TO what ex-
tent this obsolescence has since been
offset. Opinion in some circles is that
although progress has been made In
satisfying the need for machine tools
which accumulated In the depression,
much remains to be done.
