CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Increases in building activities,
particularly in Southern California,
and the Government forecast May
1 of a winter wheat crop of sixty
six million bushels, the largest in
the history of the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District, were the outstand
ing developments in the district
during the past month, according to
a statement made byr John Perrin
federal reserve agent, of San Fran
cisco.
In the district generally, he says
the number of building permits wa;
48.9 per cent larger than in April
1920 and their value 27.4 per cent
greater. The smaller increase ir
value of permits is« attributed tc
decreased building costs, which ar;
estimated to be from eight to 5C
per cent less than they were a
year ago.
Regarding winter wheat, the
statement says its condition in the
district on May 1 was slightly above
the ten year average.
More than a seasonal improve
ment is reported in the lumber in
dustry. Seventy-five per cent of th*
mills are now operating, compared te
40 to 50 per cent earlier in the
year, and demands for nearly al
grades of lumber are increasing.
The logging industry has not im
proved in unison with the mill in
dustry but as the latter enlarges
the former should corresponding!;
increase in activity.
Increased production of silver am
lead and a fa ling off in the pro
duction of gold and copper in Marcl
1921, compared with March, 1920
was reported by 18 mining compan
ies in the district. The deep goli
r
mining industry, which has lan
guished since early in 1920, ha;
not improved, most of the principal
copper mines are shut down, bui
silver maintains a relatively station
ary position from month to month
| but no great activity is reported, the
' reporting mines operating at hall
: capacity.
Average daily production of pe
‘ troleum in California during April
! 1921, totaled 338,961 barrels, ex
j eeeding the record production ol
(March by 1,298 barrels a day. Con
I sumption also increased slightly dur
■ing the month. Fifty-eight new
wells were opened during the montl
! and five wells were abandoned,
j In retail trade, slight declines ir
the value of sales were reported. Ol
'seven cities reporting retail trad*
conditions, Los Angeles and Oak
land only showed an increase if
jthe value of net sales. Seattle. Spo
kane and Sacramento reported ar
'increase in value of sales ovei
March, this year but not over las'
year.
| Present retail prices are from tet
to 30 per cent lower than at th<
'■ same time a year ago. The declir.;
; in retail prices decreased in ve
locity during the month and con
l tinues less abrupt than the declim
in wholesale prices.
During April unemployment de
•, creased in aH sections excep
, San Francisco, where an increas*
rjwas reported, due largely to strik
j conditions in the building trade
I and among marine workers. Farn
• labor is everywhere abundant, al
i though wages of farm labor are re
. ported to be between $35 and $5'
■ with board, instead of $65 to S9'
II as last year. In all the district’
cities, except Los Angeles, many In
dustries are resorting to part tim
labor to keep their working stall
employed and intact.
, Business failures in the distric
• were less in number and liabilitie
in April than in March this year
. but greater in liabilities than ii
t April. 1920. The total liabilities o
102 failures in April amounted b
$2,670,853, compared with liabilitie
of $3,046,691 for 163 failures ii
March, a decrease of 14.1 per cent
( Bank clearings for the montl
I in 20 principal cities showed a de
l crease of eight per cent as compare.
1 with the preceding month.
Deciduous fruit crops in all th<
i states in the district were injurei
1 by late frosts. Wool sales are re
ported at from 10 to 16 cents i
pound in the grease, compared witr
50 cents a pound last year.
TAILORS SAY SOLDIERS ARE
LOSING SOLDIERLY FIGURE'
LONDON, June 1—The tailor
say that the former soldier is los
ing his soldierly figure. His chesl
! which, in wartime, was where t
‘ soldier’s chest ought to be, has noii
j slipped down to where it ought noi
to be, and his waist measuremeni
has developed extensively.
The result is that the beautifu
figure of the man of 1919 has be
come rare and fatness and flabbines:
have taken the place of the thinness
and muscle.
“It makes my regimental hean
bleed to see the sloppy way in whici
former soldiers now carry them
selves,” said one who served as i
sergeant tailor in the war. “Looi
at that old tape measure hanging
on the wall. Note the finger mark;
about the 32-inch line.' That wa;
the average measurement of th<
war waist. Compare it with th<
finger marks on this piece pneasuri
which shows that the present wais
is from 36 to 40 inches. My custo
mers used to be like the letter f
| Today they are like the S."
CUBAN ARMY PROBLEMS ARE

HAVANA. June 16—-Reorganiza
tion of the Cuban army is one o
' the tasks facing the new administra

The motive for army reorganiza

When the recipe says “milk” use
Carnation. It is the most eco
nomical milk for cooking and is
remarkably convenient. One half
water, one half Carnation is the
correct formula for cooking and
drinking. For desserts and in cof
fee, use rich, creamy Carnation
undiluted. Buy this good milk
regularly from your grocer.

While the army itself numbers on

5 paid and the cost of supplies have
, run the total cost of this branch of
i the national defense to more than
r $6,000,000, a figure considered ex
