Today's Horoscope
Thursday. April 81

The general character of today
is Independent and domineering.
There is a tendency to dig deep
into things, and perhaps, to use
various means or uncommon ends
to gain your objective. This may
cause a lack of appreciation on
the part of your associates and
you should try to avoid this in
order to receive the reward to
which you are entitled.

 TIME READING
Library's Records Show Big Increase in Books
 Borrowed

There has been great increase in the number of books borrowed from the Bronson library since last year, Miss Emelyn Barrett, the librarian, said yesterday. Including the main library and the three branches, 22,000 books were taken out this June, as compared with 17000 8 year ago. Thus the in- crease has been nearly B per cent. The probable cause of the new demand for books is the recent business slump, and increased un- employment, giving rise to a new desire for leisure-time reading mat ter.
 The library was especially busy the early part of last week, when Waterbury experienced a protract- ed rainy spell. A great many peo- pie came in then to lay in a supply Of books in anticipation of future spells of bad weather.
 A considerable interest is also being shown in the library's mari onette shows, joint WPA and li- brary project. A large room on the top floor of the main library has been given over for the daily class es, from 10 a. m. till noon. Chil- dren are assigned a special day to come, depending on their school age, and are taught to make, dress and manipulate the marionettes

billions in the 12 months ended September, 1897.
 Another
 Shrinkage
 Government Expenditures: Here came the biggest, quickest drop of all among factors tending to in- crease national income. Net excess of activity creating federal expendi- lures over and above tax collections was four billion dollars in 1886. This excess dropped from about $335, ,O0O,- 900 8 month through 1886 to less than $60, 100000 monthly from March to December, 1887. Bonus payment swelled the total in 1886 and col lection of billion social security taxes shrank the 1887 figure.
 OTHER FACTORS: The specula- tive movement had to subside soon- CT or later; this one ended in April of last year. Pressure of inventor ies began to be felt and industries began to sell from accumulated stock instead of new production. h. creased reserve requirements and MT. Roosevelt's warning against cer- tain high prices dampened niflat- ionary sentiment-"may have" says Currie. Effect of the armament boom seemed to have been over emphasized.
 The labor situation became more stabilized after the U. s. Steel and General Motors agreements with c. I. O., discounting another specula- tive factor. Statistics began to show that installment credit had been extended dangerously. Residential building began to fall off after April, 1887, apparently because of cost and price advances. Industry was suffi- ciently confident to go on increaS- ing new plant and equipment ex- penditures through the third quar- ter of the year, total such expendi- ture being seven billion dollars in 1897 as compared with five billions in 1886. But adverse factors event. ually flattened out that factor, too, and everybody knows the rest.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
 IN WASHINGTON
By RODNEY BUTCHER Waterbury Democrat Washington
 Cnrrernnndant

Washington, July 8-With every body hoping and praying that the country is about to move upward from the depression's bottom, eco- nomists and statisticians have gath cred in enough facts and figures to permit them to present fairly plausible and well-connected analy- sis of factors making for the present inertia.
 There is. no assurance that such a diagnosis will be helpful in ward 1 ing off economic depreSSions of the future. But you never can tell. Lauchlin Currie, assistant direc-
 tor of research and statistics for
 the Federal Reserve System,
 whose business figures are widely
 used in industry and government,
 recently summed up his conclu-
 sions in a confidential survey. | He stresses the factors causing the inventory and forward buying boom of 1936-37, the decline in resi- dential building after April, 1887, and the abrupt decline in net federal expenditures in 1897. And he achieves some distinction by admit ting that his is "hindsight" view, based largely on figures available ony this year, and not something he was predicting all the time.
 Currie groups essential depression factors roughly as follows:
 The Money
 Rolled In
 NATIONAL INCOME: From 1883 1 to 1886 forces tending to increase the national income were ascendant. Government kept adding to buying power more than it took in taxes. Business increased expenditures on inventories, plant and equipment. In 1886 residential building boom got under way. National income in- creased from less than 40 billion dollars in 1883 to GA billions in 1886. The increase of nine billions in 1886 was one of 16 per cent, highest rate ever known in a period of stable 1 prices.
 PRICES: Englands rearmament inspired speculation in certain raw materials and inspired inflationary sentiment. In a quick transition period, labor won substantial wage and hour concessions. A sellers market resulted from anticipation of rising prices and fear of interrup- tions by strikes. Industries passed on higher costs in higher prices and some encouraged excessive forward buying by announcing price increas- es effective on future dates. From October, 1886, to March, 1887, whole sale prices rose ' 1-2 per cent, at an annual rate of IS per cent, in what Currie calls "one of the worst periods of forward buying and in- ventory accumulation we have ever experienced"
 INVENTORIES: Dun and Brad streets survey covering 17,000 firms indicates that manufacturing and merchandising inventories increased by about two billion dollars in 1886 and three billions in 1897. Federal Reserve estimates what Currie calls an astounding increase" of five
