Why? Ask the next man you meet
and YOU will find him guessing a'
the reason.
Most people supposed that haios
we're nor worn until within the lsoo
year or SO. But that isn't true.
Eoman emperors and even consuis
were pictured with halos LONG pe1ore
the birth of Christ. And, II history
tells of them truly, they were neither
saints nor angels.
The halo was originally a pagan
symbol of power Thus it is not very
surprising to find Satan represented
in medieval paints, with halo
I'm that period it was customary L
depict living personages of great au
taority with square halos.

ing an untoward influence in the
Middle West, but oe that is being
adjusted. There is falling off in the
demand for pleasure cars in the Chi
caso district, but the manufacturers
are turning their attention to
trucks. The high price of merchan
disc is beginning to cut down dry
goods sales, but the volume of busi-
hess in money remains satisfactory.
Gram is moving in from the country,
but the farmers are holding their
oats and corn for a stronger market.
Tho elease of these stocks is likely to
cause an over-supply in the spring.
with resultant fall in prices.
The demand for military wrist
watches has increased the watch
trade generally, and piano manu-
facrurers also report an excellent
business, no doubt due to the en-
hanced popular interest in singing.
brought about by the training camp

campaigns.
In St Louis, with few exceptions
business is at high level, the eX-
captions being affected by the labor
market and the scarcity of raw ma
terials. The government orders are {
large factor in the activity there, tht
influence extending even to the de
rartment stores and other retail
trade. The cotton crop, however, i
likely to be reduced considerably be
cause of frost in the South. The fore
cast for the tobacco crop in Kentuck,

as that Of 1916, above the flve-yea
average. The coal situation i
threatened by the colliery strikes il

Reserve Board Finds
The Country Prosperous

(By John J. Murray, international
News Service staff Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 21.-The most
optimistic aspect is put on the agri-
cultural and commercial conditions
of the country by the report Of the
Federal Reserve Boards review of
October, indicating prosperous sit
uation throughout the United States,
with only minor instances of slight
decreases in crops or industrial or
business activity. The only unsatis-
factory condition reported is that of
labor, the scarcity of which is fairly
general, but improved in some in
stances.
The situation in the districts cen
tering around Richmond and Dallas
is particularly prosperous. Only Bos-
ton shows any unsatisfactory lessen
ing of the optimistia outlook, and the
general business In that district IL
maintained at fair level by war o.
ders.
New York, although the labor sup
ply is hardly adequate. is active in
it's industries, it's business is well
maintained and it's harvest outlook
is good. Only construction, build
ing and engineering activity show I
noticeable decrease which Is true II
scme degree everywhere in the cour
try except in Boston, which main
tains its previous high record.
Bank clearings are increased gen
orally and money rates are firm
Raiload, postoffice and other receipt
are of greater volume.
Philadelphia industries are YER
busy and the districts foreign trad
is large Labor conditions are unset
tied, but the general outlook is goot
The district Of Atlanta is operat
ing to capacity in its industries an
the general business situation
good also. Labor conditions there ar
fair, crops are satisfactory with SUI
ficient men to gather them.
Chicago, although 1t has to co!
tend with labor shortage, maintain
prosperous level Of activity in a
lines except in new constructions.
The automobile industry is cxer
