Pass the word along—“the best in 27 months.” The pig iron output in January was the largest of any | J nary ever, except in 1919 during the big boom, and even then the production was less that 4 per cent above the firs month of 1923. | Do you realize that America is producing a fourth more | pig iron than in 19138, the best year before the war? That’s certainly getting back up to normal, and even above normal. The old saying still holds true: “So goes pig iron, so goes general business.” ai vite an Al mi to> th lis mi . Farm implement makers report that their sales are twice as big as a year ago. This is as important as big production of pig iron, for it indicates that the farmer's buying power is returning. When the farmer’s buying power reaches the same level as the city man’s, equilibrium will be restored to our economic system. That will have to come, before busi- ness generally can go ahead smoothly. Rather bad export new Less than 165 million bushel of wheat were exported last year, compared with nearly 280 million bushels in 1921. Still, in 1913, a good pre-war nor- mal year, wheat exports were slightly under 100 million | busheis. And the slump in wheat exports during 1922 was due to Europe’s increased consumption of corn a subs tute for wheat. American farmers exported over 166 mil- lion bushels of corn last year, against about 129 million bushels in 1921 and an average of only 45 million bushels a year in 1909-1913. feasured in bushels, exports of our two leading grain | crops total more than twice as big as before the war, despite | the “European situation.” | partly The year fo23 has started out very encouragingly. And | the outlook is reasonably good for any one content to make! comparisons with normal times. | Trouble is, most of us do our comparing with the abnor- mally prosperous years of the war-boom, times such as will never repeat in our generation, when we were spending the j Liberty Bond money—mortgaging the future. | . You hear alot of wailing about how our foreign trade has i fallen off since the,war bubble burst. Things look less blue ‘ when you take the figures for merchandise exports from the United States and find that they compare like this: PP aes Sas Zi he. ibe $3,831,516.735 HONS ss Sooo awe Bb a9 484,018,292 ; The gain just about matches the increase in average wholesale prices. Are we on a normal basis again without | realizing it? f BEHOLD Everything that happens has a meaning. You are re- minded of this when you study news items. Like thes: | Stylemakers, at their national convention in Chicago, | announce that grandma’s old shawl will return to fashion this spring. Life is a revolving wheel, humanity travels in a cycle, everything repeats. Another item, from Lubbock, Texas, says Sheriff Bud Johnson will arr people who play dominoes on Sunday. The west once wild and woolly, now is tamer than the east. Tobaccomakers report that American production of cigarets last year was 545 million more than in 1921. That looks bad for the nation’s nerves, for the cigaret is a nervous man’s smoke. | eee | Money, to dodge taxation, hides in tax-exempt bonds. ! About, 7526 million dollars worth of tax-exempt bonds have been issued in the last 12 years by cities, counties, states, ais ete. A constitutional amendment, now being considered by | be Congress, would stop the tax-exempt attraction. i yey Can you explain why the average individual or business | at would rather save a dollar on taxes than anything else? At Be the bottom of our hearts, do we believe in government as | much as we claim? Most of us are philosophical anarchists when,the tax man shows up. SPORT The winged collar is coming back for wear with men’s evening clothes. Rodger Dolan, who turns to psychology for the explanation of everything recalls Herr Teufels- drockh’s observation that the lower the women’s skirts, the higher the men’s collars. The neck cannot be craned as much in a choker. Then, too, when women dress formally, | men fall into line. More probable explanation is that collarmakers want to increase their sales, by changing styles. Most men always 4 have a drawerful of out-of-date collars. | WEALTH ' ' Louisiana finds that its wealth in oyster reefs and shell mounds is tt enough to wipe out the state debt. The, shells are aod to hard-surface roads. In South Africa a company begins making a gasoline sub- stitute for autos, out of prickly pears which. grow wild and i long ‘were considered a waste product. i This old earth is crammed full of wealth—for the person | with imagination ard watchful eyes. Opportunities exist | & on every hand, but most of us are blind. Ene * BOOZE . q ras. The number of Americans driven crazy by liquor is less Bly a fourth as many as in 1910.

A CAREFUL OF MOODS A street car full of people is a complex thing defined in terms of moods. There are as many moods as there are people. One man has awakened an hour late to begin with. He has cut} himself while shaving, and in his| haste has taken his coffee much too | hot. His face~has about as much cheerfulness. as there is in a morn- | ing when the fog roils in thick; from Lake Michigan. He comes in, | sits down—and adds nothing to the car except amother négative mood. i Another man ig going down to” the office feeling that he has more | work for the day than any one per- | son get through with.
