 bear fell over unconscious.
 Leonard staggered to his feet, scanned the horizon and saw his pal approaching at a run. And 1t
 was just about that moment when
 the bear snapped out of it. How ever, instead of again attacking Leonard, the bear apparently fig ured the lad was too tough a hombre so with lightning leap vanished into the thick and leafy underbrush; natures protection to primitive creatures.
 Aside from a scared face and a sore leg, Leonard today shows no signs of his thrilling encounter with an Alaska bear but he wants no
 more of it. He figures one such
 story is sufficient to tell his grand children.

how long we expect to be away. Peo-
pies ideas differ as widely In re-

differ as widely as to where they
will spend these vacations. There
are always some Of US who can'tget
away for q long stay, but there are
always most Of us who manage q
short auto trip to break up the mo-
notony Of summer heat. However
brief our journey, be the excursion
an expensive one or q less costly
weekend jaunt, we can profit by
observation with no additional cost.
It doesn't have to be an expensive
event to make 1t an enjoyable and
instructive one. There are ways Of

STARTLING FIGURES

STARTLING FIGURES
Back in the days when a Kenne-
wick citizen who carried life insur-
ance had to die to get it, long rows
Of insurance figures didn't mean q
thing to him whenever they appear
ed in print Today insurance sta
tistics Of every kind interest mil
lions Of newspaper readers. Why
not, when you can talk Of $4,000, 900
people who will be interested as poll
icy holders? Surely the average
man't eyes must pop open when he
learns there are not only this large
number Of policy holders In this
country, but that they are carrying
Sic, 00O, O00, 900 in life insurance. To
most every man in America, along
with several million relatives, insur-
ance Is bound to be an even bigger
thing tomorrow than 1t was today.
And for all time to come there is go
ing to be deep interest in insurance
figures.
Since the government now deems
it the proper thing to care for so
many Of its citizens In sickness, idle
ness and In old age, 1t Is going to be
interesting to watch what effect. II
any, this government paternalism
has on this good old American prac-
tice Of laying something aside for a
rainy day, for old-age, or for the
care Of the family upon the death Of
tie breadwinner.
II this new social order reduces
the number and amounts Of our in
surance policies, or II 1t results In q
decrease In our savings accounts,
then there Is danger that we are
sacrificing the virtues Of old-fash-
Toned American thrift for the flesh
pots Of today, only. And such q de-
velopment would be q distinct loss ia
our strength Is q nation.

it win be well above its 1882 low Of
$38 900 900. 900.

The nationaI debt, Of course, will
show another stiff rise this year,
and that is always disturbing
factor. There is very strong senti-
ment in favor Of complete over
haul Of the tax system, to eliminate
inequalities, broaden the tax base,
an increase revenue.
To sum up, the outlook is improv-
ing, but 1t remains to be seen
whether tangible betterment will
follow the upturn in sentiment.
Watch the heavy industries utili-
ties, steel, transportation, etc. The
trends they take will determine the
course Of business as whole.

According to one press dispatch,
wall Street has had one Of the
quickest and most complete changes
sl heart within memory Of Oldest
veterans" The week ending July 2
saw another steady advance, with
the shares Of industrial corporations
reaching their best level since Oct
cher. On July 2, the volume Of trad
ing was the largest for any Saturday
In eight months, and the tradition
that buyers are always wary before
Q holiday weekend was shattered.
In two weeks, quoted bond and
stock values increased some SO, 000,-
100000. ~
The big question now Is, will bus
lness-which so far has gained but
little above It's extreme depression
lows-follow the appreciation in Sc
curity prices? Precedent holds that
the stock market senses major
changes in the state of business,
weeks or even months before they
occur. And it Is fact that the
sentiment of business leaders, while
!; far from wholly optimistic, is get
ting better. Even some Of the most
cautious commentators are now
: coming out Of their shells and fore
I casting that strong upturn will be
underway by Labor Day. and that
the fall season will be active.
At the same time, it must be
pointed out that the country is still
confronted with q number Of ex-
ceeding grave problems which must
he at least partially solved before
any real measure Of recovery can be
gained.
Unemployment Is one Of these
problems. There has been q GER
tain amount Of unemployment lately,
particularly In those industries
which are directly benefited by the
new pump printing progrem. How
ever, on the basis Of the best fig
ue0 available, It appears that about
100000 people are out of work,
With several millions more on part
time.
The railroad problem grows worse
mot better-and Is easily the most
important specific Industrial prob
lem We have on our hands today.
Railroad net operating income Is
running far below last year-in Apr.
the decline was 52.6 percent. It Is
regarded Is inevitable that unless

number Of lines win 60 into receive

be ct least even that q special ses-
13on Of congress win be called In
September or October for the pur-
pose Of doing something for OF
about the railroads. There Is con-

Old Quarrel

"Who delayed the orders?"
asked a small shriveled man in
gray and butternut.
"Not being over on your side
of the fence" grinned his
reverence, "I can't tell"
And then somebody whispered
''Longstreet" the most con-
troversial argument of the Civil
War was on again. Did Long
street hamper Lee? He did. He
did not. If he did, why did not
Lee say so? Because Lee was a
Southern gentleman who, after de.
feat, took the blame for every
thing, and so on and so forth.
They were at it, these old men OF
more than ninety and more than
a hundred.
No blows were struck and, all
through, it, was a friendly argu.
ment. But the personal recita.
tionS of these stirring events were
over now. That is, all but Fickett's
charge, the last great. gallant ges,
ture of the South-which, all his,
torians agree, came too late. And
a number of the old Southerners
seemed to agree with the histo,
rians. Bring Pickett into a soldiers

KINCPIN IN BANK
ACCOUNT SWITCH
Suit Does Not Involve
Presidents Son

BOSTON, July 2 IN.S0.-Al-
though not involved in the suit,
James Roosevelt, eldest son and
secretary of the President, today
had been named as the alleged
kingpin in a switch of an $500, 900
account from one insurance COM
pany to another by the National
Shawmut Bank.
The suit, charging breach Of
contract, was brought against the
bank by Arthur D. Cronin, Bos-
ton broker, seeking to recover
$31,750 plus interest he claimed
he lost in commissions.
Hearings and arguments in the
case we're completed before At
torney F. Delano Putnam, as
signed by the superior court, who
was expected to file his findings
of the fact within six weeks.
CLAIMS ORAL CONTRACT
Romney Spring, counsel for
Cronin, who charged the bank
switched accounts because it
wanted James Roosevelt to get
the business, asked for a trial by
jury next fall. He claimed his
client had an oral contract with
the bank for the insurance buSi-
ness.
Spring charged two vice preSi-
dents of the bank admitted they
used their influence to turn a
highly specialized automobile in
surance account to the firm of
Obrion, Russell and Company,
with which Roosevelt and his part
ner, John Sargent, shared offices,
expenses and profits.
DENIES POLITICS
Attorney Robert Dodge, counsel
for the bank, said Roosevelt was
not personally involved and there
was no evidence of political gain
by the bank.
1--WE we're asked to show our
books covering Government de-
positS in the hope they would
reveal something political"
said Dodge. But there was no
such revelation"
