Men Put Wives On The Spot
BY AMY PORTER
BY RUTH

Wives aren't easy to embarraSS IN
public as are husbands. But it can
be done, if a man really tries. Ii
you pull one of these stunts, and
your wife continues to smile, don't
give up-go on down the line. Final
success is guaranteed.
Correct the facts of the story she
is telling. And do it in a voice of
strained patience that indicates she
isn't quite right.
Get off in the corner with another
girl at a party until your attentions
become so obvious the other men be-
gin to make wisecracks.
Get either noisy or sullen after a
few drinks.
Make a crack about marriage.
Tell your hostess you never ate
such a good meal in your life. And
add, IT wish you'd teach my wife to
cook chicken the way you do"
"Old Lady" Always Makes A Hit
Refer to your wife as my old
lady,"
When your wife is getting away
with being very off-hand and casual
about her party, let the guests In
on the fact that she has been get
ting ready for the party for three
days.
Say "That's the first I've heard
about it" when your wife, trying to
impress another woman, says,
George and I are planning TO-
Refuse to assume a pleasant smile,
as your wife does, when friends find
YOU in the middle of a fight. Act
Just as ~disagreeable as you feel.
Not Hard If You Try
Take your wife to dinner in a
restaurant, and read the evening
paper.
Go up to her at a cocktail party
when she is talking to an attractive
man and say, "Well, Mama, are you
ready to go homer"
See, it isn't so hard to embarrass
your wife. You've probably done 1t
lots of times without half trying.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Bonds
generally gained bit in slow trad
ing today.
Fractional rises were in the ma
jority toward the final hour, with
rails furnishing most of the action.
Marketmen continued their policy
of awaiting definite turn in the
battle of Britain and large COM
mitments consequently were held in
allegiance.
On the markets rising side were
such issues as Burlington 4l2s, Co
lumbia Gas & Electric IS of 81,
Bethlehem Steel 3l2s, Northern Pa
cific As, Montana Power 334s and
General Steel Castings 5l2s.
Inclined to be backward were
American Telephone 314s of sc,
Texas Corp. IS, Western Union IS
of go, Cuba Northern Railway 5l2s
and Consolidated Oil convertible
3l2s.
United States Governments, in
mild dealings, followed the uneven
path of the general bond market.
Argentine and Uruguayan dollar
loans offered the brightest spot in
the foreign list with gains ranging
from major fractions to point or
more. Other foreign governments
generally were shaded.
Among the gamers were Amerl-
can e. Foreign Power SIS at 447s,
Great Northern &c" is of As at

Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-The new
Federal Reserve Board index of
industrial production is a lively
topic in economic circles these days
The general sentiment is of COM
mendation for a good job well done
The index has been broadened and
brought up to date. 1t gives
better gauge of the fluctuations in
activity of the Nations industrial
machine.
A number OF economists have been
inclined to question, however, the
brighter picture which the new in
dex gives of the 1880 decade. Ac-
cording to the new index output
of American mines and factories in
1897 was greater than in the lush
days of 1929. The new index aver
aged lib in 1887 against ITO in 1929.
Includes New Industries.
This result comes as something
of a surprise to many economists
who have become accustomed to
thinking of 1929 as the peak of
industrial production. 1t is attribut-
ed by the Federal Reserve Board
to the inclusion of new and grow
ing industries in the revised index
and to greater Importance assigned
to them.
Some observers have not been
entirely satisfied with this explana-
ton, however, and have been ex-
aiming the methods used by the
boards staff as closely as possible
on the basis of information so far
available. They claim that the
method of weighing various indus
tries according to their importance
makes the new index subject to
some error around 1929.
Two sets of weights have been
used in the new index. One is
based on the relative Importance
of various industries according to
the 1923 census. These weights are
used for calculating the index for
the 1923-1929 period.
For the l930-1937 period a secorsl
set of weights was used based on
the 1887 census.
Many Important Changes.
The result, statisticians say, is
that in the 1929 period, which is
virtually in the middle between the
two censuses, the weights assigned
various industries are most likely
to be in error. The board itself
admits that between 1923 and 1887
there were important changes in
the contribution which each indus
try made to national industrial out
put.
As a consequence of this shift
of weights IN 1890 an industry
which was small in 1923 but grew
rapidly in the late 20s would not
be fully reflected in the index in
1929. Not until 1880, when the
weights were changed, would the
increased importance of that line
be recognized.
Other economists, however, are
inclined to side with the conclu-
sions of the new index. Industrial
production in 1887, they believe.
was actually greater than in 1929.
Because of an increase in popula-
ton, however. per capita produc-
ton was smaller.
If the new Federal Reserve Board
index Of industrial production should
be figured on a per capita basis 1t
would be about per cent lower IN
1887 than IN 1879, they point out.
