Of the Nations vast industrial ma
chine opened the throttle another
notch this week, operations jumping
to the highest level since November,
1897.
The swelling volume Of fall business
boosted the Associated Press seasonally
adjusted index of industrial activity
to 80.7 per cent Of the 1s39-30 average
IN the latest week for which data are
available. This compared with 1877
q week earlier and 944 last year.
In less than five months this meas
ure Of the business pulse has risen %
per cent, one Of the widest gains for
q comparable period on record.
Freight carloadings continued to
move in heavier volume as inventory
poor concerns released a flood of
orders. The adjusted index again
reached a new peak for the year.
Automobile assemblies advanced
sharply as dealers reported smallest
stocks OF old models in six years. Re-
tail demand was said in the trade to
have been larger than expected.
Electric power output recovered
further from the hurricane-born
slump of last month.
Steel mill operations, however,
dropped as price uncertainties curtailed
demand. Cotton manufacturing activ-
ity also was down again, extending
the declining trend tn more than tvo
months.
The index, with its seasonally ad-
1usted components based on latest
available statistics, and with 1929.3o

GRAIN MEN WATCH
FEDERAL EFFORTS
Hopes for Higher Prices
Based Mainly on U. S.
Market Aid.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,

CHICAGO, Oct 22-Hopes for
higher prices for wheat and corn are
just now being pinned chiefly on the
efforts of Uncle Sam.
Unusual persistence that the Gov
ernment agencies show in promoting
plans to hoist the financial returns
from domestic farm products is at
present receiving notable emphasis
from Chicago traders A striking illus
tration is much talk that at existing
discounts under Federal loan prices
no big selling pressure from rural
holders either of United States wheat
or corn can be expected.
Values Up Sharply.
An evident effect has been a decided
upward trend Of values both for wheat
and corn here despite a drag to lower
levels in foreign markets. Giving
further stimulus to wheat price gains
here is increasing concern voiced rela-
tive to dry weather Southwest, where
seeding has been seriously checked.
and wheat already seeded Is reported
as hungry for moisture throughout
widespread areas.
Compared with one week back,
Chicago wheat prices this morning
were 1is-2la cents a bushel higher:
corn. 21s-2s. up; oats, 14-34 ad-
vanced; rye, showing ss-las jump, and
provisions bulge Of to Is cents.
Operating as handicap to wheat
price gains this side of the Atlantic,
nevertheless. is the fact that European
native supplies are abundant, and that
importers are slow to follow advances.
In particular. the sale OF about 9,O0O,-
600 bushels of French wheat to Great
Britain and italy, largely on a barter
basis, has been curb on overseas de-
mand.
Foreign Crops Large.
Estimates. too. are current that Aus
tralia will have a crop Of 100000 900
bushels and Argentina fully twice that
amount. although the Australian pre-
diction is doubtful.
Indications now suggest that Europe
will become more active soon on the
buying side Of the corn market. An
incentive for such action is that corn
belt weather conditions in the main
have been favorable, and husking has
made good progress. AS a result. the
movement of new corn is getting an
early start.
In the main, the rallies of rye and
oats markets are ascribed to sympathy
with wheat and corn.
Provisions reflect upturns of hog
values and of corn.

BUILDING INCREASES
IN FAIRFAX COUNTY
First.ouarter Figure Il Nearly
100000 Over Same Period
Of 1897.

The volume Of building permits
issued in Fairfax County, Va, during
the first quarter Of the current year
showed an increase Of nearly 500, 900
over the same period In 1887, accord
ing to . report from the ONCE Of
County Commissioner Of the Revenue
James U. Kincheloe.
For the first three months Of this
year, building permits in the aggre-
gate of $232,025 were issued In the
commissioners ofhce compared with
q total Of $l33,8s0 during the similar
period last year For the corresponding
months In 1886. permits In the total
Of $l03,450 were Issued. indicating q
steady increase in the local construc-
ton field. according to Mr.. Kincheloe.
In March alone permits totaled
$l07,s50, an increase Of $29.42 over
the February total Of $78,425. During
March, 20 permits were issued, Of
which number 20 were for new con-
struction work and six for improve
ments. The new building Is sched-
uled to cost 500, 900 and the improve
ments $l4,250.
With the exception Of one $4,000
project, most Of the new homes will
range between $4,000 and $4,000 in
cost.
During the first quarter Of the year,
however, the number of deeds and
trusts recorded in the office of County
Clerk John NJ Whalen showed a drop
Of six under the number for the same
three months last year. During the
first three months this year there
were 875 such recordations compared
with 881 in the corresponding period
in 1887.

Ing In her snare Each sensi-
tive claw holds fast to silken
Il L thread which she has fastened
to the foundation chosen.
This spider. often mistaken for
daddy long-legs, has the distinction
OF making the most gauzy veil-like
covering for her so or more eggs of
her clan.
OF all the pholcids roaming over
parts OF the United States this species
may be identified from the others be-
cause 1t Is the largest one and has q
long rather than round body. The
body Is about one-fourth inch long,
and her legs are about 2 inches. That
IL why she has been mistaken for the
harvester.
Most Of the hunting is in dark cor
ners. where Pholcus has a skimpy
snare. Usually the cellar or such
places are sought. because there are
30 many dark, damp spots.
When the courting season for these
spiders rolls around they seek the
darkest spot they can fiud. Privacy
Is one of the first considerations.
They remain in this secluded place
for days. Whether the two emerge
from their nuptial chamber We do not
know. The chances are that the hus-
band was devoured after the we'd
ding ceremony, which seems to be
rather common practice among some
spider brides
The sac used for holding the many
eggs is so thin that you can see
through it. The mother carries her
egg basket in her jaws, not trusting
1t out of her supervision. All during
the time when the eggs are incubating,
which is about 80 days. she supports
1t, and it is no small task for her, as
the spiderlings in their bassinet be-
come heavy as they grow stronger.
You can see the black eyes and the
tucked-up legs through the trans
parent eggshell!
AS each youngster steps from his
filmy shell he also leaves the sac and
nearby spins a tiny web for him.
self. The mother remains at her post
until the last Of her brood matches.
Then she stays in some part of her
web until the spiderlings have grown
old enough to take care of themselves,
which is not over few days. Baby

The fact is, this little machine Is
primarily bent on lowering the hu-
midity Of the atmosphere around you,
without bothering so much with get
ting the temperature down to very low
point. This Is obviously very credit
able idea, as we have all experienced
the discomfort of places filled with
cold. clammy air. The unit takes a

In order to make permanent in

they have been made in such a way
that they can be buried in a space

other words, instead of having a bulky
cabinet in the room, or even a casing
up on the window sill. you place the
unit in a metal housing which is
built into the wall. This metal hous-
ing goes all the way through In order
to provide the necessary outside air
for ventilation purposes. and cooling

the unit Is turned on.
