HAD QUEER MENTAL STREAK
Lead One to Doubt His Com
plete Sanity.

If Oliver Cromwell had lived in
these days a committee of alienists
doubtless would have investigated his
sanity before now. For the Protector
had a most abnormal streak in his
mental makeup. Fancy man that
could sign the death warrant of
king and then turn and spatter the
ink from his pen into the face of
friend. In his youth taverns were the
chief resort of Cromwell. His rasl,
and bOisterOus behavior early es-
tranged him from his EQUALS and he
came to associate with a class beneath
him. For he could brook no interfer-
ence or contradiction The matter of
the score at the inns where he
carouSed concerned him very little;
the bills frequently went unpaid and
he became extremely unpopular with
the aIewives of Huntingdon who when
they saw him coming. would lock the
doors to keep out the noisy bully. So
Oliver turned out to be a wild and dis
sipated youth. The same incorrigible
spirit ran throughout his life. 1t led
him to encourage his soldiers to play
practical jokes upon each other, such
as putting hot Goals. in the other fell
lows boots. At the marriage Of his
daughter in 1857 to Rich, the Protect
or threw sack posset among the ladies'
to soil their rich clothes, which they
took as a favor from him, strange as it
may seem. And he put sticky candy
upon the chairs where his guests were
to sit, and pulled off his son-in-law's
peruke, pretended to throw it into the
fire, and ended by sitting on tt.-Phil-

DETROIT. August 26.-Evidence Of
the quickening of the business pulse due
to seasonal movement of crops and goods
is manifesting itself throughout this
territory. One indication noted was the
increase Of Detroit bank clearings for
the week to $1oO.s27.0 900. as against
$79.316.000 for the previous week. Fig
ures for the corresponding week a year
ago were $134. 1000. 900. This increase is
the more marked as commodity prices
have decreased in greater ratio than
the drop In clearings.
Another indication Of increased ac-
tivity was furnished by the warning O.
the Michigan farm bureau to farmers
to get their grain shipments under way
at once to avoid freight car shortage.
More than twice as much grain has been
moved out Of Michigan SO far this year
as for a similar period a year ago.
Employment here has taken a jump
upward in this city. which has brought
the total employed In the major indus
tries to within 1000 Of the high point in
1921. There are now lit. .420 men en-
ployed by seventy-nin plants here. De-
troit industries are operating on about
70 per cent basis. Bank deposits at
$414 100000 have reached a high point
for 1921. and are 100000 above the
low mark touched in April. Loans have
decreased to $19, ,0OO. 900 from the high
Of $65. .0OO.0 in April.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. LOUIS, August 26.-Prevailing
tendencies in this territory are
marked by striking improvements in
agriculture and continued dullness in
manufacture. The preponderant opin-
ion of business leaders is that there
will be material and progressive
improvement accompanied by contrac-
tion of credit in farming districts
continuing for the next four months
and that the banks and farmers will
be clear of debt by the first of the
year. Manufacturing. however, they
feel. will show little recovery for
some time.
Banks have returned to the policy
oosSYed prior to the war and have
notified farmers that funds would not
be available to carry products past
the marketing season. AS result
crops are moving to market and being
converted into cash or negotiable
credits. Special credit arrangements,
such as those of, the War Finance
Corporation. are enabling farmers to
export their products, and they see
their way out of debt in five months
at most
Farmers have become purchasers
again. although with caution, and
benefits are being felt by rural mer-
chants and city jobbers.
Many factories are planning to
operate this autumn. but chiefly for
the purpose of offering employment
and retaining working forces.

ATLANTA, Ca, August 26.-Im-
provement in conditions in the south
east have become so marked within
the last month that business leaders
are convinced the fall season will wit
ness return Of nearly normal condi-

made. Representatives of the Gala

port the Galloway mills gradually are
