Grafidmother, who married at eighteen, finds on looking over the Boston marriage licenses that pres- ent-day brides and bridegrooms are “in the thirties.” The average:age for orange blossoms is twenty-seven to thirty-three, and most bachelor dinners “are served when the man most interested is between thirty and forty. To people with & pre-war slant on economic and social problems these figures are upsetting. The marrying age has been usually roughly calcu- lated as being somewhere in the early, twentie: At twenty-three or twen ty-four a girl was either filling a hope-chest or absorbed: pérmanently in other interests which were, ac- cording to_sitting-room sentiments, old style. The man not married at twenty-five also was looked upon as confirmed in bachelorhood. ‘What has happened since the war is that young people are.not form- ing partnerships until they have pre- pared very carefully. Neither side wants to marry until the other has laid a firm foundation in business, or | has stocked up with household fur- unique ‘type—and ideal loca- tion in Armsleigh Park This delightful com- munity lies just north “of Cleveland Park— and is within 10 min- ride by auto of Treasury Dept.

The manufacturing drugglsts have assembled at Washington or is to establish in the minds of the people, and particularly in the minds of prohibition enforcement agenci that the druggists as a class wan that they be trusted to obey the law. are naturally disturbed over the un- avoidable circumstance that “the good assed together. un- me regulations.” They were resentful that the activities of ma facturers who medicine mdl had compelled prohi- bition enforcement, agents to brand all pharmaceutical manufacturers as ‘potent criminals.” Dr. Harvey Wi- ley, chemist of world-fame, was. in the meeting and advised_ the manuf: turers that their troubles are all found: on “the person swith the thirst,” and that their future service to the trade should be governed by that knowledge. The druggists maintain that the coming of prohibi- tion has encouraged the springing up | of hundreds of mushroom establish- { ments, whose sole occupation is the making of booze medicines, and that is one of the things they want to talk over with Commissioner Kramer. Nothing developed at the meeting to indicate that any of the druggists are contemplating addition of beer faucets to their soda-dispensing coun- ters. On the contrary, their present endeavor seems to be to get rid of of the aggravations now en- countered, rather than to invite new ones.—Charlotte Observer (demo- cratic).

About twenty-five million feet of wood of thirty-two kinds are con- | sumed yearly in this country by man- ufacturers of appliances and appara- tus for games and sports. Several in- dustries require much more wood than this one, and produce articles which, in the aggregate, sell for more money. but no one of all of them, with the possible exception of toys. affords as much enjoyment. In one directio! this industry surpasses toys as a pro. ducer of happiness; for toys concern . |children almot exclusively. while this concerns old, young and middle-aged in the same way. Games are for the elderly as well asfor the youthful. indications priated daily in BY PAUL C. HEDRICK. Speeial Dispatch to The Star. SEATTLE, Wash,, March 26.—Dairy farmers of the Pacific northwest now look to the future with confidence, ac- cording to reports from manufactur- ers of evaporated milk. Practically all plants of the north Pacific coast country shut down last October be- cause of the large surplus created by the falling off of exports to Europe. Indication that the situation has pretty much cleared is the fact that a large local company covering a broad fleld has resumed operation in all its plants, now running at capacity. Severe Cut for Farmers. The cessation in demand last fall sulted in a severa cut in prices to t farmer for fresh milk. Since the re- sumption by Pacific northwest con- densaries, beginning last month, prices have been materially bettered. There is & more optimistic feeling among business men of the- Pacific north- west, although there has been but slight actual improvement to date. Manufacturing in all lines is qufet, and the retail trade is just slightly better, especially in women's wear, which' shows' a reaction to Laster de- mands. Lumber and Log Still Down. Lumber and log prices arc still down. As the Pacific northwest is a big factor in the production of lum- ber for building, the actual situation by a large logging association is stated as follows No. 1 logs (suitable for flooring. doors and interior finishing, selling in March, 1920 at $34 per thousand board measure, are now $20. 2 loga a year ago $24 per thousand, are . 3 logs, rough dimen- Sion. etc. & year aga, $15 now 315 Many Looking to Congress for Beneficial Legislation BY G. T. ROCKWELL. Special Dispatch to The Star. CLEVELAND, March 26. Although a gradual upward trend in business Is gemerally accepteq as prevailing In this section at present, many are looking to the special session of Con- gress to furnish some constructive legislation which will have an im- mediate sentimental cffect on condi- tions in general. Help for the farmer and foreign financing so that an outiet for the large oversupply of American prod- ucts may be established are issues paramount in sending business ahead under somewhere near normal speed. Banking conditions throughout the fourth federal district are in excel- lent shape, as is shown by the com- bined ratio of 71.1 per cent, which is said to be the highest of any of the twelve federal districts. Motor Industry Growing. Cleveland's motor industry, the first business to be retarded, is making steady gains. and operations at one t, the F. B. Stearns Company reached 100 per cent this week. Bus! ness at the Peerless motor plant is increasing moderately, while the White motor, which operated night and day up to December 31, is now running three days a week. Merchants report satisfaction with the Easter trade. According to an official - of the Retail Merchants’ Board, “business has been better than expected. Collections are also reported good. Mid-Coptinent 0il Trade Reported Out of the Woods BY DICK SMITH. Special Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY. March 26.—The oil industry in the mid-continent fleld is out of the woods, if optimism of oil men in attendance at the national petroleum congress here this week is indicative. By the same token, it is evident there has been general im- provement in economic conditions in this territory. The oil men report a decided im- provement in conditions, with vir- tually every company buying crude oil on a 100 per cent basis. Increased Demand. ‘The increased demand is expected cause a stiffening in crude oil prices and to stimulate new develop- ment operations, which have been curtailed during the readjustment in the industry. No increase in prices of refined “products should _result, however, 88 they never decline in proportion to the fall in crude oil. Figures given at the convention show production has increased stead- ily since the 1st of January, the low point until the average daily produc- tion so far this year in Kansas and Oklahoma has been slightly in excess of 350,000 barrels, an increase over the same period of last year and the yeap before, and only a small amount under the average for November, 1920, when it was highest. Similar reports come from the Rocky moun- tain section. 1921 Wells Better Producers. While the number of new wells brought in .this year exceeds only slightly the number for the same pe- riod last year, this year's wells have been better producers. The improvement in the oil industry i incidental to the general upward trend in this section, although there are a few lines which are recovering slowly, notably the furniture busi- ness. ‘The loss to retail dealers in winter sales occasioned by the early spring apparently has been more than off- et by the response of buyers to epring offerings. Fuel dealers alone have suffered from the unseasonable weather. ‘Wholesale Trade Improves. Continued improvement in whole- sale mercantile trade has been the sesult, although retailers still are proceeding with caution.

The settlement of the controversy between packers and thelr employes has had a steadying effect on indus- trial relations generally. Business Notes. of commerce of this city, following the example set by New Orleans and Boston, is sending a delegation of business men on a tour of Mexico. One hundred executive officers of business concerns will make the tri in a special train, starting April 15. W. Frank Carter, president of the chamber of commerce, has given out a statement declaring that the trip is not to be entirely a commercial af- fair, but an effort rather to bring Mexico into closer relationship with St. Louls in an educational as well as ;Indu!‘lrial way. A tabulation by the Interstate Com- merce Commission of wages now paid railway employes gives some very in- teresting figures. They show that the average wage for more than two million workers is $166 a month. That is at the rate of $2.000 a year. The figures include all officers, from gen- eral managers to messengers. The lowest paid employes are the ection hands, ‘who average under the in- creased wage $117 & month. The 241.218 clerks averaged $150 a month each. The 64,000 machinists drew an average of exactly $200 a month, and the king of the road—the freight en- gineer—averaged $300 a month. NEW YORK, March 26.-—The French contention that Germany is able to pay some part of the reparations de- manded would seem to be borne out by reports received here of large divi- dends pald by the industrial concerns of Germany for the year 1920. It must be taken into consideration that all of these dividends were announced be- fore the allied armies moved further into Germany in an effort to collect at least a fraction of the indemnities de- manded.
