THINKING
DEFEATS GARCIA
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 Q.NS).
Henry Armstrong is still welter-
weight champion of the world
today. But only because Ceferino
Garcia, the futile Filipino, is one
of the sloWest thinkers who ever
drew on a boxing glove.
In three separate rounds Garcia
had the champion staggering
under a fusillade of rights and
lefts to the head, but each time the
Filipino let him get away because
he couldn't seem to make up his
mind to throw a finisher.
At rare intervals the fight bor-
dered on the sensational, but for
most of the 15-round route it was
no more exciting than a sewing
bee in an old ladies home.
CROWD BOOS FIGHT
The few thrills for the 15,725
who paid $79,931 to see the affair
and who roundly booed the fight
not the decision came when
Garcia elected to stand off and
Wallop the champion.
This was particularly true in
the twelfth round when Garcia
suddenly came to life, and shot a
looping right to Armstrong S
head that spun the champion
against the ropes and drove him
half way to the floor.

that they have powerful run

Figures
What They Mean
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The sharp
tivity in recent months, as measured
by leading indices, does not mean
business volumes generally have been
curtailed by anything like the same
proportions.
The Associated Press seasonally ad-
justed index of industrial operations,
for instance. crashed from an early
September peak of 1046 per cent Of
the 1929-3O average to 749 in the
latest week.
According to this barometer, there
fore. the Nations primary producers
slashed operating schedules % per
cent in approximately four months
Including as it does electric power
output. steel mill operations. freight
carloadings, residential building, cot
ton manufacturing and automobile
assemblies, the index is representative
Of both consumer and heavy goods
producers. Other well-knoWn weekly
yardsticks are also based in large
measure on these important fabrica-
tors.
The drastic reduction in the indus
trial tempo lately. however. cannot
be considered a measure of the slump
in consumer purchasing or retail dis
tribution
1t merely means manufacturers who
had been working on forward orders

and retailers-when rising labor and
raw material costs seemed to forecast
higher prices later on-cut factory op-
erations to meet curtailed demand
that developed when the commodity
bubble burst.
The high level Of plant operations.
in other words, went toward the build
ing of inventories rather than into
consumption channels, with the re-
suit that the first, sign of caution
among buyers uncovered shortage in
orders. The steel industry, for ex-
ample, tArottled its operating rate
from above 80 per cent of capacity
to less than 20 per cent when this
yawning gap was laid bare.
The average individual, however,
does not reduce outlays so sharply. In
the first place, John Citizens income
is cut slowly as business declines. Men
are laid off, in most cases, only after
operations have turned definitely
downward. There is, therefore, sub
stantial lag between the first break
in industrial activity and a drop in
purchasing power. Then too, few
people store up quantities of clothes
and food-and rent must be met from
month to month-so there is no abrupt
cessation Of buying even after the de-
cline is well under way.
This is shown in retail sales totals,
statisticians say, which have fallen
only moderately from September to
December, despite the wide slump in
indiceS of activity.
