BUSINESS IS
BETTER THAN
JULY OF 1934
Leading Industries
Far In Advance Of
Usual Period For
Expansion
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. UPi—A gen
eral expansion of business to s
higher level this week than during
the similar period of last year was
found in a survey Issued Friday by
Dun Brad street.
“Accelerated by the unexpected
upturn In the pace of operations of
some of the leading Industries, far
In advance of the usual period for
expansion, more trends reached
toward a higher level than was
recorded at this time a year ago,"
it was slated in the review.
“Continuous high temperatures
and new heat waves In some part*
of the country gave retailers an
opportunity to clear the remaining
etocks of summer merchandise
making substantial stuns of cash
available for Investment in fall in
ventories.
“Buying at wholesale was ad* i
vanced by the rising current of
consumer demand and the greater
price stability.”
Although retail trade continued
at an excellent pace, it was de
clared. the estimated gain In sales
for the country was held to a
range of 10 to 30 per cent over 1934
because of the rising trend of a
year ago.
“While the gains reported by
some of the markets were small,
general volume of wholesale or
ders continued to rise by a larger
percentage over the comparative
showmg of last year,” the review
found.
"Price uncertainties during July i
led to the postponement of so much
buying that most wholesalers are:
making preparations for an abrupt
gain during August. • • •
"The further advance of Indus
trial operations has lifted the aver- j
age from 15 to 25 per cent higher

Josi&h—a Religious Reformer

Jo-iah was one of only five good kings
of the southern kingdom of Judah. He
was only eight years old when he became
king. His father and grandfather had
been very wicked kings and worshipers
of false gods called idol&
One of the first acts of the young king
was to command that the temple of God
be cleansed of the things with which, for
over a half century; his fathers had de
filed it. He provided funds also for its
complete repair.
In the course of this work of cleansing
and repairing God’s house the workmen
came upon a scroll on which was writ
ten God’s law. It had been lost for
many years. Tfie king rejoiced greatly
when they brought it to him.
Josiah destroyed many idols, burning up
their places of worship. But he also
gathered the people together and read to
them the lost book of God’s law and
pledged them to worship God.

than it was for the corresponding
1934 week.
“Employment held gene rally
steady, with slight gains at Isolated
centers, although the increase was
not m keeping with the advancing
rale ol activity."

Josiah is the type cf religious re
former as he is the type of good king.
He was only 8 years old when he
came to the throne of Judah, and.
therefore, he must have depended to
some extent upon good advisers. But
even a youthful king Is likely to
turn sooner or later against the
good counsel of his advisers, unless
there be a good spirit in hunself.
Josiah's course as a reformer is all
the more remarkable because his
father had not set him any example
of goodness. Fortunately the young
king had a good mother.
Conditions had bedome very bad

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—(/Ph-,
Studying the effects of the second

some legislators predicted Friday
That the utility bill may now die in

On the other hand, some saw a j

MYSTERY OIL

_
F sited Telegram Caused
Movement Of 127,231
Barrels of Crude
AUSTIN, Aug. 2.—(JP)—Ail ex
haustive Investigation was launched
Friday by the railroad commission
into a faked telegram on which a
lender was issued for the movement
of 127.231 barrels of crude petroleum.
The fictitious telegram was pro
duced at a hearing of the legisla
tive committee investigating hot oil
during questioning of Ernest O.
Thompson, railroad commission
chairman. On the basis of the tele
g:am the commission’s east Texas
chief of staif approved the tender,
testimony showed.
Thompson said every resource of
the commission would be used to
trace the oil and the proceeds and
determine the author of the spurious
message. i
The telegram purportedly was
signed by Thompson and commis
sioner Lon A. Smith and authorized
issuance of a tender to the fuel oil
purchasing company.
Thompson was visibly astonished
when shown a copy of the telegram
hr Representative Sidney Latham of
Longview. Latham asked Thompson
to read It. Thompson declined to do
so. asserting emphatically that it
was fraudulent, that he had never
j signed or authorized a telegram of
rhat nature and demanded time to
investigate.
Thompson checked the local tele
graph office and found no record
of the telegram having been sent
from Austin. Thompson later brought
up the subject of the telegram be
fore the committee and members
admitted they knew It was spurious.
Latham said the committee had
checked records at Austin. Dallas
and Kilgore and found no evidence
of the telegram.
Committemen said the telegram
wa offe.ed to show Inefficiency In
me bookkeeping department of the
commission and denied any inten
tior to discredit Thompson through
the manner la which it was pre
sented.
Thompson testified that he had
never heard of the movement of the
oil on the authority of the telegram
and tnat as far as he knew the dis
crepancy had not been detected in
ihe Austin office. He said this phase
iiso would be checked.
Thompson expressed surprise that
Harry Miles, east Texas chief of
staff, had cleared the oil on the
basis of the telegram.
“I think Miles is a good man and
I am surprised this happened,’’
Thompson said. "I think he should.
have called on the telephone to
verify the authenticity of the tele
gram. However, we will trace that
cil and find It.”
Thompson said the commission s
Ijoiicy was to depend entirely on its
tender board in the approval of
unders and that the only instances
in which the commission issued the!
oraers direct was when commanded
to do so by a court order The
, tender board, he said, has never
been over-ruled.
Customs Inspectors
Appointments Urged

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 2.—Harry
P. Hornby, customs collector for

tor Sheppard and Representative
Milton West of Brownsville asking

ferees on the measure as the result
of the house action Thursday.
After a debate broken by shouts
jeers and applause that chamber
again voted down compulsory aboli
tion. 210 to 155 and than proceeded
to aim another blow in the admin
istration's direction.
By a vote of 183 to 172. it instruc
ted its conferees to insist, il they
deem it desirable, on the exclusion 1
of all outsiders from the conferences
intended to iron out differences in
the utility bill as passed some time
ago by senate and house.
The members had in mind Ben
Cohen, a Roosevelt administration
aide whom the senatorial conferees :
have insisted on bringing to the |
conferences. Most of the senate
conferees are in favor of mandatory
abolition, a provision which the
senate passed only to have it struck
out by the house.
Three of the five house conferees
have refused to attend conferences
if Cohen was present and they are
now confirmed in that stand
Rep Rayburn (D-Tex). a leader in
’he struggle for the Roosevelt bill,
expressed the opinion that the con
ferees would get together on “a bill.”
Previously, during the bitter house
fight, he had said that if the house
again turned down compulsory
abolition ‘we may not” get action
this session.
Meanwhile the senate lobbv com
mittee after producing a string of
disclosures which the Roosevelt
forces vainly counted uoon to swine
the house to its side, has adloumed
until next week unless something
unexpected develops.
The latest of its disclosures was

Joshua began his reforms very sen
sibly. He did not seek to effect a
change simply by passing laws or by
exercising his own arbitrary author
ity.
He called the leaders of Judah to
gether, priests, prophets and peo
ple, “both small and great,” and
here in their company he read to
tnem the words of the Book of the
Covenant — that Is. a portion of the
Bible, our Book of Deuteronomy, that
had bem discovered after years of
neglect in the temple.
It must have been an impressive
scene as the king, now a young man
of 26. stood by the pillar reading the
Book and making a covenant with
Jehovah to keep his commandments,
testimonies and statutes, and with
.til heart and soul to live according
to the words of the covenant writ
ten in the Book.
The covenant, also, was not some
thing imposed upon the people; It
was. first of all, something the king
took to himself; and all the people
stood in recognition of their assent.

Every great reform has two as
pects. It seeks to build the new
upon better foundations, and at the
same time it sweeps away the old
and corrupt things that have
brought disaster and trouble. 80 one
of the first evidences of this reform
was destruction of the vessels and
symbols of idolartous worship and
suppression of the idalotrous priests.
It was a new day in Judah The
great religious experiences of the
past were restored to their true
meaning.
The permanent lessons of ff h a
story are not difficult to emp:\*size
All great reform begins in true char
acter and purpose, and in the accep
tance. explicitly or implicitly, of a
covenant to do right.
A true ruler will covenant with
God and his people, and the people
in turn will covenant to observe
faithfully the laws and principles
that make for maintenance of order
and welfare of society. No real re
foim can be built upon the false
and decaying things that have
brought destruction upon society.
These lessons are profoundly need
ed in these days in America, when
we are talking so much of recovery ;
and rebuilding. Have we shown suf
iirient intelligence in renouncing i
the things that have brought about
economic depression and moral and
social evil?
Are we not in large measure try
ing to build the new society without
sufficient regard for the new spirit'
and the new’ materials?
