This introduces the Florence Hard ing veil and the Coolidge veil, the newest and smartest modes in spring yelling.
 The Harding veil is black with a cerise pattern. It is reversible in that it can be worn with either the coarse or fine mesh over the face. The delicate leaf design transforms the plain sailor into a smart crea- tion. No other trimming is needed.
 The Coolidge veil is navy blue em- broidered with gray chenille and has small blocks of blue velvet around the border. It is square and can be worn in different ways. It may be used as loose drape or caught up closely around the chin as in the picture, or the border may be draped around the brim of the hat without covering the face.

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Billy" Williams, United States commissioner of internal revenue, says a lawyer told him once that "a letter of recommendation does not evidence mans ability, but merely signifies the suitability of the writer" That is about as solid a truth as one will sec in a days walk. Every ready letter writer will agree to that. Many letters tell the truth about the man for whom they are written, but they rarely tell the whole truth. If there are unpleasant facts about the bearer of the letter, the writer has been dis creetly and courteously silent in re- spect to them It is not his business to argue and analyze. It is his job to give a friend a lift--Montg (Alal Advertiser

PAVLOWA'S ADVlCE-Miss Dor othy Book owes her place as premier danseuse of "Aphrodite" to the ad- vice of Anna Pavlowa. Miss Book danced for Pavlowa one evening at the home of her father, Richard Book, the noted sculptor, in Chicago. "Ex- cellent." said Pavlowa. But why dance only for your friends? Why not have a career of your own.' Then Morris Gest advertised for dancers for his spectacle. Miss Book was among the throng of applicants and Michael Fokine, the Russian director. selected her for the premier place.

Conditions in the South
Reported Near Normally
by RALPH SMIT
Special Dispatch to The Star

ATLANTA, Ga. July 29.-Not
since the armistice have economic
conditions in the south been so near
ly normal as today, declares the At
lanta Federal Reserve Bank in its
monthly review. The statement con-
tains a comprehensive analysis of
bank loans and investments. as COM
pared with peak times, and points
out how they have steadily ap-
preached normal conditions.
During the month of June. the
report declares, department stores
registered a decrease in the money
value of their sales. as compared
with year ago. but they remark
upon an enlarged volume of actual
sales. Stocks of goods on hand have
decreased within the year by II per
cent.
Fifty-three wholesale firms in Sc
lected cities report an increase in
the volume of sales. Hardware is
the only commodity that has shown
a decline, and in this line the prices
have not declined, as in other mer-
camille activities.
The banks report on agriculture
shows that only 20 per cent of the
normal cotton acreage is in cultiva-
ton, and that the decrease in yield
will be even larger because little
commercial fertilizer has been used.
The extent of building activities
in selected cities is shown by build
ing permits for June as follows:
Atlanta, s779.623; New Orleans,
s553,375; Jacksonville. $412.s5O;
Tampa, s3S9,7S4; Birmingham. $324.-

Optimism Despite DuIIness

ST. LOUIS, July 29.-Although
business is in the stagnation result
ing from transitional conditions in
this territory, business men are
more optimistic than at any time
since the reaction toward better busi-
ness started. 1t is the disposition,
however, of manufacturers. whole
salers, retailers and consumers to be
extremely cautious. and it is this
caution which is holding the whole
sale trade in restraint.
shows that large department stores
in the south and west have had six
months or more of wonderful trade.
These businesses did not hesitate to
take their losses at once and read
just their businesses to the new
basis. The average decrease in
prices made by these stores has been
25 per cent. but their gross sales
so far this year have been so great
that the sales revenue averages more
than 80 per cent of the money taken
in for the similar period last year.
Unemployment in this section Is
increasing slightly and savings ac-
counts. which had been increasing up
to June Is, are now decreasing with
machine-like regularity. Drawing of
expense money for summer vaca-
tions explains this to a certain ex-
tent, but some undoubtedly have
been obliged by necessity to draw
en- their reserves. Bankers. however,
report more intensive saving by
those who are at work.

DETROIT, July 29.-One of the most
encouraging factors observed in busi-
ness this week in this section has been
an increase of 1900 men in the working
forces of automobile manufacturers. The
total gain Of employment in this city
in all lines was over 1000 workers. There
are now over 100000 Industrial workers
employed here. and as the high figure
last year was 100000. it Is estimated the
plants are running at 20 per cent Of
capacity.
The bank position also has improved
materially, there having been an in
crease in deposits of $16,0OO.OO0 for the
week and a reduction in the loans Of
local banks from the federal reserve
system. Bankers state their customers
report increasing orders and better
demand with improved prospects for
fall business. The paint and varnish
trade is nearly up to the 1920 standard.

INVESTORS ARE
TAKING ON BONDS
All Foreign Issues Favored
and Many Highs for Year
Are Reached.
BY STUART Il. WEST.

NEW YORK. July 29.-Once more
today the outstanding fact in the
financial situation was the pressure
of idle money supplies for employ
ment and the increasing difficulty
found in placing these funds to ad-
vantage. The call money market,
with rates as low as 31z per cent, has
become unprofitable; consequently
lenders turn their attention more to
time money and discovering that
they could not do all the business
they wished to do at the per cent
level, began reducing their offers to
5& per cent.
1t was not surprising that these
fresh assurances of abundance in the
money supply. with the suggestion
of still further reduction of bank dis
count rates and open market rates,
should have aroused another display
of enthusiasm in the bond market,
SURPRISING anything seen SO far this
month.
1t is seldom that the word violent"
can properly be applied to move
ment in bond prices, but there was
no exaggeration in using this term
to describe the market today.
The two features were the heavy
accumulation of foreign government
bonds, attractive because of their
high yield, and the urgent demand for
railway issues which carried some of
them forward one or two points.
completing an advance of three, four
and five points within little more
than week.
In many cases prices We're well
above their previous high for the
year reached during the abortive
January rise, which was checked SO
sharply when the money market shut
down in February.
Investors Must Accept Less.
Back of this remarkable demand
for investment securities was the
thought that if money lenders are
willing to accept down to 5A per
up to six months. owners of invest
ment money must make up their
minds to a similar concession.
The buying of bonds extended to
some of the better class railway
shares, but did not discourage pro-
fessional operators from continuing
their raid against various industrials.
The speculative program evidently
was to develop fresh weak spots
while simultaneously covering short
contracts elsewhere.
Consequently, while International
Paper. Pullman. Worthington Pump.
Pierce-Arrow preferred, Allied Chem
ical and several others were being Of
fered down sharply, stocks that had
been weak yesterday. like American
Locomotive. Car and Foundry, Central
Leather and General Electric. were
disposed to rally.
Sugar Stocks Better.
Representatives of the sugar re-
finers, who have been expressing
themselves very bearishly on the raw
sugar market, and have deprecated
the activities of the Cuban commits
sion. are seeing things steadily go
against them. First they complained
that the three-cent level was too
high, that it was being artificially
maintained. and that the law of sup
ply and demand ought not to be so
interrupted. The answer to this was
such a flood of buying orders for
raws at 3 cents a pound that the
commission raised the quotation to
3L cents
