 BUSINESS WILL
 HIT NEW HIGHS
Says Recovery Movement Is Still Progressing
 on lis Upswing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Secre- tary of Commerce Harry Hopkins today said business progress in July represented continuation of the recovery movement that started in May.
 Activity in all major lines is well ahead of a year ago, Hopkins said, and prospects for third quarter business have improved.
 Hopkins said that business poli- cies generally reflect less hesitancy in retailer commitments from wholesale markets, and with indus trial purchasing and expanded con- struction activities at a seasonal peak, activity in industry gives hopes of being even greater than in the summer of 1887.

News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvoLD

While ''the world is waiting for the
sunrise'-that is, for some assurance
that the present state of peace will be
continued, negotiations are still in
progress between the British govern
ment and that of Soviet Russia con-
corning the definite forming of triple
alliance to neutralize whatever ag-
gressive plans certain other nations
may be nourishing. It's slow business,
for while Great Britain and France
are even more anxious than before
to have Russia line up with them,
they are not enthusiastic about giving
Russia pledges that would correspond
with those asked.
During the week passed since the
last review of these columns, British
Prime Minister Chamberlain has Of
ficially said that his government and
that of France and Russia are agreed
in principle, but the fact of the mat
ter is still this-that no treaty has
been signed, no mutual obligations
incurred. 1t is not likely that any
agreement will be announced earlier

Lightning Strikes
Finlayson Home

The Hoglund house in Finlayson,
occupied by Supt. and Mrs. E. F.
Peltola, was struck by lightning early
Wednesday morning of last week
during thunder storm, but the fam
lily was not awakened until the fire
was discovered by Mr.. Bergseth when
he began his work in the creamery
soon after $3.50 a. m. and help was
soon on hand to help quench the
flames with both chemicals and water
via bucket brigade.
1t broke out twice afterwards at
hourly intervals before finally being
conquered. Damage was done to the
roof and in the attic and the bolt
followed the water pipes through the
house from bath room to kitchen
sink and out the cellar drain. Prob
ably the fact that the pipes were not
in the walls, saved the house from
complete destruction.

Full Stop Required
Behind School Buses

"Come to a complete stop behind
every school bus that has halted to
take on or discharge passengers!'
This was warning issued this week
to all motorists, anywhere on the
highway, by w. R. Rosenwald, safety
director of the Minnesota Highway
department, to help them avoid the
penalties provided for violations of
the new state traffic code.
Under the old law, whenever a
school bus stopped to take on or let
off passengers, drivers were required
to slow down to 10 miles an hour,
and approach with caution until the
bus was on its way again. But under
the new law, all motorists are re-
quired to come to a complete stop
and wait until the bus starts, before
proceeding to follow or pass it. The
new law is for the protection of the
driver as well as the children. High
way patrolmen have been instructed
to apprehend anyone failing to stop.

Sure, It's 0. K.

Are the Scandinavians taking the
play away from the Irish, or are
the Irish being real sociable?
The folks from the Emerald Isle
have been known to have the big,
sturdy policemen on the corner,
and some years ago in order to rise
to pugilistic fame, one would have
to carry an Irish monicker, whether
he be German, Polish, Italian or
Scandinavian.
Maybe it's the Swedes who are
losing their identity, and the Irish
are taking in more territory, or,
maybe it is just the continued pro-
cess of the American melting pot.
At any rate, one could not help but
smile when reading in the Saint
Paul Dispatch recently that:
Mayor Fallon will be principal
speaker at the Knights of Column
bus smorgasbord luncheon in the
K. of c. clubhouse, Fifth Street and
Smith Avenue"
Maybe smorgasbord will become
so common after a while here in
Minnesota that instead of saying
eve are going to luncheon" it
will be eve are going to smor-
gasbord."
