-...1.NDANT LANG
TAKES SPEEDER TRAIL
ON PACIFIC HIGHWAY
Overtakes Buick Car Travelling
FOrty-Five Miles an Hour and
Orders Driver to Report

Major )uis Lang, commandant Of
the state highway patrol, was cruis-
ing along the highway east of Olym-
pia last evening when a Buick car
sped past him, going at rate which
the major calculated to be somewhat
higher than the law authorizes.
Taking up the trail of the speed
ing auto the major kept short dis
tance behind for a time and found
the Buick travelling As miles an hour.
Overhauling the car Major Lang
signalled the driver to stop.
The driver proved to be Mike
Furen, and Major Lang ordered him
to report to the chief Of police here
today. Up to noon Mike had not put
in his appearance. He told Major
Lang that he was soldier at Camp
Lewis, though dressed In civilian
clothes, and that he was searching
for deserters.
If Mike appears at police head
quarters he will be relieved of $25
bail for his appearance in court to
answer to the charge of speeding.
II he doesn't appear he may face
much more serious charge, either in
with his assertion that he
is a soldier he can not prove the
truth of this, or II he Is soldier he
may have trouble for being in CIVILIAN
clothes. Then there is the trouble
that accrues upon failure to answer
the summons of the state highway
patrol.
Mike was arrested in Olympia in
June charged with speeding and run-
ming with the cutout open, but put
up a plausible story Of sickness in his
family and the police let him go
without fine.

BASIC BUSINESS
CONDITIONS SHOW
MARKED IMPROVEMENT
Declare DiagnOticians of Economic
Ailments From All Parts of

BY HAROLD d. JACOBS

Copyright 1921 by United Press)
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Basic
business conditions are improving.
This opinion was reuected in tele-
graphic statements to the United
Press today by commercial organiza-
ns-diagposticians of economic
ailments-in all parts of the country.
The general feeling appeared to be
that the industrial revival will be
we'll under way by fall, although
some were inclined toward the be-
lief that material progress will not
be made in that direction before
spring.
"A better tone is appearing in the
business world" declared William F.
Morgan, president of the Merchants
Association of New York.
although few industries have yet
benefited by an increased volume of
business there are indications that
the country is beginning slowly to
pull out of a serious business and in
dustrial depression.
"The crop outlook, with one or two
exceptions, is good. Many of the
railroads. are reporting increased
earnings"
That the "t,de has turned In New
England" was the statement OF Mel
vile E. Lining, secretary of the bu-
reau of commerce and industrial
affairs, Boston Chamber of Com
merce.
Other statements were: A
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
Business in this section looks better
today than in many months. In prac-
tically every line conditions justify a
more optimistic feeling for the fall"
John B. Reynolds. secretary Of the
Indianapolis Chamber Of Commerce:
II believe conditions will begin to
improve in the fall. However, 1t may
be year before business Is wholly
on a normal basis again. Some fac
tories are increasing their forces
even now"
w. L. Ware. trade commissioner,
Chicago Association Of Commerce:
Fundamentally business changes In
Chicago point toward improvement
in practically all lines. Recovery is
noticeable in dry goods, millinery.
women's and mems clothing, shoes
and building materials. The feeling
is gaining strength each day that we
have reached the bottom of the period
of depression and may now reason
ably expect bushes to be very much
better in the fall.''
e. @. Quamme, president OF the
st. Paul Federal Reserve bank:
Generally speaking we have q fair
crop in the Northwest which, II sold
at once will make conditions better.
Portland, Ore, Chamber Of Com
merce: Merchants are stocking
their shelves for good winter in the
belief that the heavy crops will re-
suit in plenty OF money. The future
outlook is bright"
