New York, September 6-tSpeeial )- AS the first of January is commonly spoken of as the beginning not only of the new calendar year. but of the new business year, so the day which fol lows Labor Day is regarded as the beginning of autumn and early winter business and financial activities. Naca- tion season is ended, excepting for the few who are fortunate enough to ex- tend their Vacations into the late fall Almost all of the summer resorts are closed immediately after Labor Day. In New York there is pereeptible differ ence in the attitude of the crowds upon the streets and in the shops from that which is observed during the summ<l months.
 The recent comments made by the Federal Reserve Board and also by the National City Bank are spoken of as indicating that in the judgment of those best qualified to give an opinion readjustments are well underway in the beginning of the autumn and if these has been any business depression, it will not be long continued
 The Federal Reserve Board com ments upon the tacit and spontaneous action of the great majority of the public in refraining from making pur- chases excepting of those things which are necessary. This has compelled a reduction in prices, although not in all prices. Some commodities remain high. The public attitude will be continued until prices are regarded as reason able. Then buying will again begin for the evidence is plentiful that the public as whole has excellent pur- chasing power and with marketing of the crops this buying power will be in- creased.
 It is an optimistic view which the National City Bank officials take, of on the day after Labor Day It is the those who think that a period of gem eral and prolonged depression is at hand. This is only another way of say ing what the Federal Reserve Board said. Depression is largely due SO Nfar as it now prevails to the refusal of the public to buy commodities.
 THE GENERAL ITUATION
 Although it is sometimes thought that the best writers upon economic and financial conditions are inspired by private advices to take an optimistic view yet that is an unfounded opinion. Those who are qualified to report to the public what conditions are, are Justified in saying as the City Bank of ficials say that the general business situation has developed in a satisfac- tory manner specially in the latter part of July and throughout August This is especially true of the month of Au gust for in that month it was evident

first encounter with a rainstorm.
These spots are hard to get off, but a
treatment with raw oil, applied with
plenty of elbow grease, will come as
near turning the trick as anything.
Cause of Knocking.
In motors with detachable cylinder
heads great care should be taken to
see that the gasket used to pack the
joint does not project into the combus-
ton chamber. When this occurs the
gasket is likely to become incandes-
cent, causing preignition knocks and
even back-fring in the c%arburetor.
Homemade Cement.
Four parts of iron filings, two of
lime and a fifth part of cornmo salt
mixed to a paste with vinegar make
an excellent cement for spark plugs,
for connecting pipes, etc. When care
fully mixed this cement will stand
compression and heat and can be air
dried.

"Take the shortage of young men
and the young men that are left can't
marry on account of the profiteer. Why,
millions of pretty girls all over the
world are going to get married.
"a crowd of pretty girls were taking
tea the other afternoon when a rag
man passed.

bones, old 'front.'
And then, as he trudged slowly
along the street, he yelled again:

a dramatic gesture Of despair.

REBELLION AGAINST NATIONAL
PROHIBITION BREAKS OUT
IN MICHIGAN.
FIGHT DRY" MEASURE
OPEN REVOLT STARTED AGAINST
FEDERAL AUTHORITY, is
REPORTED.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Chicago, Feb. pa rebellion
against prohibition has broken out in
Iron county, Michigan, and the coun-
ty, led by its prosecuting attorney, is
"in open revolt" against federal au-
thority, Major A. L. Dalrymple, fed
eral prohibition director for the CEN
trail states, notified Washington. Pro-
hibition agents leading a party of
Michigan state c~onstables We're held
up by Iron county officials and wine
they had confiscated was taken from
them, according to word brought to
Chicago by Leo j. Grove of Marquette,
supervising prohibition agent for the
upper peninsula.
Major Dalrymple appealed to At
torney General Palmer through As
sistant Prohibition Director Gaylord
to order warrants issued for the arrest
of the prosecutor, two deputy sher-
ifs, two police Officers and three
other residents If Iron River, a min
ing village.
While Washington was setting the
legal machinery in motion, Dalrymple
issued orders for a company of picked
paratory to starting OF an armed ex-
petition which, he declared, will
"clean up" Iron county.
Grove, accompanied by Lieut.. r. G..
Strope and Troopers Masters and Kind
of the state constabulary, seized
eleven barrels of wine at the Virgil
location, a mine two miles from Iron
River, he reported to Major DIAL
rymple. The wine is said to have
been made by John Peter and Steven
S%calcucci, wealthy Italians, who own
the packing plant and general store
at Iron River.
Grove loaded the liquor into a
sleigh and started to 10Y it to Cas-
plan. When the sleigh reached Iron
River 1t was met by Prosecuting At,

Sheriffs Chard and Jesse Allen Of
Iron county; Police Chief c. 81. Sen
siba and Police Capt. Claude Brown
of Iron River.
McDonough, according to Grove!
report, told the prohibition supervisor
that he was under arrest for trans
porting liquor and ordered his mer
to seize the wine. Grove said he put
up a fight, but was overpowered
The wine, he said, was returned to the
S%calcucci brothers by McDonough
who, the report adds, told the brothers
to post an armed guard yer 1t witt
orders to shoot if the federal agent
tried to regain possession.
After receiving the report, Major
Dalrymple asked hat Attorney Gen
eral Palmer instruct the United
States commissioner al Marquette
Mich, to issue the warrants. Grove
reported that District Attorney Myron
H. Walker, at Grand Rapids, had or
dered the commissioner to issue nc
warrants without first submitting
them to him, which takes from five to
fifteen days.
Samples of the wine seized in the
raid, taken some time ago, tested IL
per cent alcohol, Grove told Major
Dalrymple. The Scalcucci brothers
admitted, he said, that they had made
the stuff from a carload of raislns.
