Credit Men Told
Signs Point 10
Improved Business
Szymezok Says Pay Rolls
Have Risen Sharply
Since Midsummer

Signs of improvement in the Ma
tion's business were cited today by
M. S. Szymczak, member of the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, in an address be-
fore the opening session of the Co.
lumbia Regional Conference, Asso-
ciated Retail Credit Men of Wash
ington, at the Mayflower Hotel
After discussing the functions of
the Federal Reserve, Mr.. SZymczak
turned to the economic situation
and said the pospects, so far as
we can see them, are reasonably en-
couraging at the present time.
"A year ago activity and prices
had been declining for several
months, but we had not reached
the end of the decline. Quite nat
urally, therefore, many people were
wondering whether the decline was
to be another long depression like
the one which began in 1929. Now,
however, we have seen not only a
slowing down in the decline during
the first half of 1888, but sharp
advance in business generally dur
ing the second half of the year.
Total income payments are
about the same now as they were
at the end of 1882, and only 6 per
cent below the peak reached in the
middle of that year. Pay rolls have
risen sharply since midsummer, but
are still substantially below the
1887 peak, while payments for work
relief are higher.
"In industrial concerns volume
of output has been at fairly high
level for three months now.
In building construction there has
been a sharp reversal in move
ments during the past year. -
Non-residential construction shows
marked rise in public works con-
tracts.
"In foreign trade during the
month of December he continued,
''the exports on value basis were
lower than year ago by about II
per cent and imports were lower
than year ago by about 18 per
cent. Export decline is less than an
ticipated in some quarters and i'm
port decline stopped soon after in
dustrial recovery in this country
began in 1888. Excess of exports is
still unusually large and is around
$100,000,000 month"

One of the more prosperous gam

friend, or acquaintance rather, who
was interested in borrowing some
money. The acquaintance said that
he need 500 but that he could get
by on $50 if $10O was too much for
the gambler. 1t wasn't too much,
but the gambler considered his

acquaintance poor risk, so he only
gave him $50.
The next time the gambler saw
his friend he asked for his $50 and
the friend said he didn't have it
but that he would sell the gambler
a beautiful gold watch he had for
only SIS. The gambler decided that
he'd rather do that than wait for
his cash, so he gave the friend $25,
the difference between the friends
debt and the cost of the watch.
Some time later it turned out that
the watch was stolen one and the
gambler had to pay the real owner
500, the actual value of the watch
How much did the gambler lose
on the whole affair?
