GOOD TIMES BACK,
ROPER DECLARES.
Ten Bureaus of Commerce
Department Had Busy
Year, Chief Says.

The best thing that can be said
about 1885 by Secretary Of Commerce
Roper is that good times are back.
Industrial production" he remarks,
ION a seasonally adjusted basis, has
advanced to recovery high"
In the midst of this prosperity climb
the 10 bureaus of the department
spent a vigorous year, according to
their chief.
Especial emphasis has been placed
on the responsibility of safeguarding
human life and property in the air,
on the sea and on the land" he de-
clared.
Encouraging progress In efficiency
has been made in improving safety
in the air through aeronautic inspec-
ton and better regulations Of air
traffic.
Seamen Are Aided.
"The Congress enacted, on the rec
ommendstion of the department, more
beneficial legislation in behalf Of safety
at sea, the welfare of the seamen
and the interest Of operators than any
previous Congress.
"A large contribution toward public
welfare has also been made through
improved lighthouse service, marine
inspection. including coastal and in
land waters. while accident preven-
tion on the highways and In homes
and in industrial plants has been car
ried forward under the impetus of
widespread public interest and CO.
operation.
Advancement in transportation
technology is constantly imposing in
creased responsibility upon regulatory
authority and the bureaus legally
charged with these regulations have
promptly and effectively adapted their
activities to meet the changed and
changing conditions.
with the marked expansion OF
trade and commerce during the year
the duties OF the department for the
promotion OF the welfare of business
and industry at home and abroad have
received unusual emphasis.
These include the cultivation OF
foreign markets and assistance to i'm
porters In dealing with those market
conditions to best advantage Assist
ance also has been rendered manu-

output, eliminating waste in produc-
ton and distribution. also making

Says More People Showed Their
Money"-Number Of Foreclosure
Sales Decreased.

It was hne year for N auctioneef,
even though there was . decided
slump In the number Of Q certain
type Of auction sales.
For as prosperity crept from its
hiding place, foreclosure sales and
bankrupt sales became steadily rarer.
But the auctioneers who fatteu on

man seemed to have more money to
put out"
Weschler, however. noticed little in
crease in the number of persons who
gather to hear the hammer pound
its accompaniment of the old cry:
"Going, going, gone!"
There are plenty Of men who
would rather go to an auction than
TO the MOVIES" Weschler commented.
In 1885. he said. it Just happened
that more people In the crowd were
willing to show their money.

The Zoo Will Grow
New Buildings and Animals Will Delight
Capital in 1897.

A glimpse Of the out-of-town auto
mobile tags in the park on a typical
Spring day would convince any
doubter of this fact. Too, the letters
which come from all parts of the
country evince a widespread interest
in the National Geological Park.
Small Mammals to Be DISPLAYED.
A novel feature of the new build
ings will be the quarters designed
to display small mammals. Zoos in
the past have somewhat neglected
this field. The new building for great
apes and small mammals, however,
will show the worlds tiniest creatures
to the best possible advantage.
Nocturnal animals, for example, will
occupy room designed to resemble
q night ont Of doors. The lights
will simulate moonlight and the walls
will be done in dark blue glass. DR..
Mann hopes these surroundings will
induce the nocturnal crea lures to a
greater activity that would otherwise
be possible.
In the past night-prowling animals
have slept through their days in cap
tivity. Spectators thus have hao
scant opportunity 10 see them at their
best. Another feature which will
appeal to spectators Is the new pens
for elephants and other large NAM
mails. The animals will be held cap
tive by moats and the public will
get a clear view OF them unob-
structed by bars, walls or glass.
DR.. Mann said there Is almost no
limit to the size OF the crowds the
Zoo can accommodate and every rea-
son to believe that the coming year
Will surpass all others in the number
Of spectators and the variety Of spec.
tator interest.
