the prison when l visited Ann. l
hadn't looked into a single one of
the cells, when | followed the prison
guard along the corridors, but from
the corner of my eye, had caught
the critical glances of those girls.
They were the women who had been
trapped by the vice crusaders, the
unfortunates who could not get bail!
Such was the company Ann Lori
mer had forced herself into! And
she would consider it good luck, I
fancied, rare opportunity to see
life without danger to herself!
Get inn Martha threw a rug over
the newspapers and clutched the
small boys shoulder. "Sit on that
pile"
The little fellow jumped into his
place with whoop of joy. From his
new point of vantage he could watch
the show and not miss a detail!
"Can you tell US how it started?"
Martha put the question to the boy.

night stands. Beating the brush for
business is more profitable than kill,
ing time at home.
This is the time when retailers
must take advantage of every legiti-
mate means of inducing business by
catering to the public needs at eqult-
able prices for dependable goods.
Business may be encouraged when 1t
cannot be forced.
This is the time for the salespeo

that truth, courtesy and smiling serv-
ice are the three great assets of per
sonal success.
This is the time when the business

spired.
Inertia begets inertia; every com
plant imagines another.
Super-effort in the sanctum, of.
flee, factory, on the road, behind

away clouds of uncertainty and put

THE WEEKS BUSINESS REVIEW.
Trade Recovery To Normal Is
Gradual-Steel Revival Begins
Rv ALBERT APPLE.
THE Stark Rolling Mill Co., large


THE Stark Rolling Mill Co., large
Ohio steel corporation has
started up 10 of its % mills on full
time.
Some steel jobbers consider this
the beginning of an anticipated
springtime revival in the iron and
steel industry. Best opinion is that
recovery to normal will be gradual
The industry now is producing at
IS per cent of capacity.
U. S. Steel corporation, with
enough untitled orders on its books
to keep it busy five months, is run
ming top speed and breaking records.
Independent mills are quiet, pulling
the average output down.
Warehouse Stocks Low.
In nearly every industry except
copper, enormous warehouse stocks
are being used up. This brings
manufacturing revival nearer.
Stocks of finished steel products
are growing low. Pig iron stored at
boundaries is so low that resales,
which have been the backbone of the
market, have practically ceased.
Less Unemployment.
Nationwide reports this week
show fewer men out of work. Many
have gone back to the farms. Some
unemployed are being absorbed by
the textile industry, which is pick
ing up decidedly.
Practically all textile mills in the
Rhode Island and Fall River districts
have started up full time, also sew
eral hundred Carolina mills. They
are optimistic about orders keeping
up.
New Price Level.
Federal reserve boards figures
show that wholesale commodity
prices last May were 172 per cent
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-01-28

higher than in 1918. Same prices now
are only "a per cent higher than
1918. Rate of decline has been 3
per cent a month.
Economists believe that this rate
of decline will continue until April,
when the new price level may be es-
tablished at about SIS per cent above
1918 prices.
Farm prices and some metals al
ready have reached that point of de.
flation and apparently are at bed
rock.
Retail prices eventually will line
up in proportion to wholesale price
drops.
In the Past Week
Business failures continued high,
but were 20 less than the previous
week when they totaled 514. South
ern states led with $50 failures, west
had 10, east $50, Pacific states As.
Large housing corporation in New
Britain, Conn, cut rents S. a month.
Rents are dropping fastest in De
troit, Akron, Elkhart, Ind, and Lans-
ing and Flint, Mich.
Bank clearing for the whole coun-
try averaged one-eighth less than a

 ''I maintain that if the former wage award was just at the time it became effective May 1. 1920, it follows that a reduction of compensation must be granted in view of the overwhelming evidence regarding changed condi- tions."

No Action To Be Taken Until . Larger Economic Problems

WASHINGTON. May 7.-Announce ment of President Harding's decision to have American representatives ou the supreme council. the conference of ambassadors and the reparations commission was followed today by intimations from house Republican leaders that action on the Knox peace resolution might be deferred until the larger economic and other problems are sgttled.
 Representative Mondell of Wyom- ing, Republican leader. said that the resolution adopted by the senate week ago would not be considered next week
 House leaders generally said the measure would remain with the for eign affairs committee for month. perhaps. Or certainly until the Euro pean situation had cleared. It was said that this met the, approval of the senate foreign relations committed Some members insisted President Harding rreferred that no Forts be made to rush it.
 Ambassador Wallace and Roland w. Boyden are expected to resume their places almost immediately as unofficial observers with the confer ence of ambassadors and tho repara- tions commission, respectiV~- Their instructions were prepared today.
 George Harvey, ambassador to Great Britain, will receive his instruc tons from the president after his ar rival at London next week.
 Ambassador Harvey will be empow cred to take part in the supreme councils deliberations and t is un- derstood will have authority to ini- tiate such discussions. as the presi. dent may direct. His status thus will be different from that of Mir Wallace and Mir Boyden. wh1 will act as observers. s
 The supreme council at its next session is expected to take up the question of mandates raised by the American government and admins tration officers but the presence of an American representative will serve to strengthen the position of the United States and facilitate final settlement.
