Compilations lately publish that the country’s steel produc first time since 1929, overtoppec The Reserve Board's “adjusted productio index” for October had never been matched except in December of 1936 and in six months of 1929, and the increased weekly output of several industries in November sugge that the present dex” 1 go above records. Except pril and May, 19 month consumption of by 1€ 1 W absolute high monthly record. Railway net earnings reported for September were, except for October 193 the largest since the same month of 1930. Inasmuch as last month's carloadings were more than eight percent above September’s, it is probable that October earnings will exceed those of any ince 1930. Autumn results have created, for time at any rate, a different railway situation. Tt has been not infrequently remarked of these vements that the rapidity of industrial recov- this autumn may have resulted from European war and from expectation of unlimited orders of war material like those of 1916, but that the war has not been waged like that of 1914 and 1915, and that orders placed in America have fallen far be- low September’s impulsive prediction. The infer- ence occasionally drawn is that industrial reaction must ensue, Attention is drawn even to the reaction which followed the promising “industrial boom” of 1936 and early 1937. Yet, so far as regards the theory that war ex- pectations alone caused the autumn recovery, it is an interesting fact that trade activity has con- tinued, even. after the European orders failed to come, The basis for the season’s greatly enlarged production has been domestic consumption, and it has lately been testified, in the steel trade particu- larly, that the result has not yet been such accumu- lation of inventories, by producers and middlemen, as in 1936. Still, much will no doubt depend on further events in the war itself; not least, perhaps, on the course of politics when a “Presidential year' begins York Times) indus higl 1dus- noered which in our previous This autumn trial” history a records tries were or October show tion has, for the all monthly records. all mills cotton AL act ery Some scientists announce discovery of a vitamin in molasses that keeps hair from turning gray good time to confirm the theory is to administer the remedy about the first of the month when the bills start rolling in. ‘We see where a marriage specialist declares that any woman can get married if she just masters the | art of being humble and helpless.
