| SAYS INDUSTRIAL
| PROGRESS Is REAL
Head of N. Y. Reserve Bank
Declares Steel Output Is
Best Thermometer.

A steady and marked Improvement
In the industrial situation Is indicated
by the bigger sales In practically all
wholesale and retail lines, in reports
received by the Federal Reserve Bank
OF New York. said Benjamin H. Strong,
governor of that bank. in an address
delivered yesterday before the mem
bers OF the United Waist League at a
luncheon In the Hotel McAlpin.
The Improvement, Mr.. Strong de-
clared. gives every indication of being
based on solid foundation He cited
ngures from the confidential reports
made by manufacturers and retailers In
various lines to the Reserve Bank. All
these reports showed steady increases
in sales. n. ..
Some advances were slight. but, in
view OF the price reductions of recent
months, Mr.. Strong pointed out. a
slight increase in money sales indi-
|. Gated a substantial increase In volume
OF business.
Mr. Strong continued: Some lines
have been in danger of going too fast.
SO that there have been occasional set
backs, but for the most part real prog
ress is being made.
Conditions in the steel industry
offer the best thermometer and the
production of steel is double over what
1t was year ago.
II can speak quite definitely Of the
evidence that both the wholesale and
retail trades in most lines are in n
healthy condition. Twenty Of the
largest manufacturers of clothing in
New York and in Rochester have sub
mitted confidential monthly sales and
shipments reports. These reports on
women's garments show a. 10 per cent.
increase over May, 1921. April of this
year was IL per cent lower than 1921.
but the figures for the two months COM
pare with the same period last year, and
since prices are lower 1t means that
more merchandise has been sold.
"At hardly any period in the history

T LLOYD GEORGE seems honestly
IL determined both to preserve the
peace of Europe and to satisfy the
trade demands of the British, which
latter are thus expressed by Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead: "England's
desperate economic condition, her de-
pendence upon world trade as the,only
means Of sustaining her life blood,
make imperative the resumption of po-
litical and commercial relations with
soviet Russia-whatever the charac-
ter of the government the Russians
choose to adopt" In his eagerness for
these results, and perhaps cOerced by
political conditions at home, the pre-
mier lays on France the blame for the
threatened failure OF the conference (;
and he is volubly supported in that by
the English financial expert" John
Maynard Keyes, who, according to the
Paris press, is in the pay of a group of
Berlin bankers. At this distance one
is rather inclined to accept the view
of the New York Tribune, which says:
"The. F~rancophobes and the Teuto-
philes are the real factor threatening
disruption at Genoa"
Berlin dispatches say diplomatic re-
lations between Germany and Russia
will be resumed at m e. Prof. A.
Bernhard Wiedenfeld will be the Ger
man ambassador in Moscow and Leo
mid Krassin the Russian ambassador in
Berlin.

Of the action Of the New York atate
Motion Picture Commission in refdeing
10 grant license for the exhibition If
the film "Fate,% based on the case of
Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon, acquitted of
the murder of Jacob Hamon, wealthy
Oklahoma politician.
Mr. Weathers. formerly q banker in
oSianoma, was acquainted with Mr.
and Mrs. Hamon. He said he spent
S!2o,0O0 to produce the picture upon
which the New York State commission
has placed ban and that he intended
1t as moral lesson. Mrs. Hamon, said
the producer, joined the church after
her acquittal and announced that she
would devote her life to preventing
other young women from being en-
shared IN the same pitfalls"
Mr. Weathers said that Mr.. German,
who directed the picture, married Mrs.
Hamon and they are now living hap
PLY together. When he brought the
film here last October and exhibited
it to the censors, said Mr.. Weathers,
he offered to eliminate the "marriage
of convenience scene" and also cut out
the scene showing the rejoicing in the
courtroom over the acquittal of the
defendant. Nothing remained in the
iilm. the producer argued, (Which
could offend tho most captious moral
critic"
The commission rejected the picture,
Mr.. Weathers said, on the ground that
it tends to corrupt morals and incite
to crime" He expressed the opinion,
however. that Fate" was rejected be-
cause he was arrested on September
last in San Francisco on the ground
that the showing of the picture there
violated the motion picture ordinance
In support of his petition for re-
view of the action Of the New York

Boxer and Woof Woof Awake
By Thornton W. Burgess
The feel Of spring is IN the ai''
And joy aWakens eve,yWhere.
old Mother Nature.

Mother Bear and the half grown
cubs, Boxer and Woof Woof, had
spent very comfortable winter in
their den under q great windfall deep
in the Green Forest They had known
nothing about the great ice storm
They had known nothing of the cold
end the snow. You see, they had been
asleep. They had slept all those
weeks without once waking up. Sleep
ing all three together that way they
had been warmer and even more com
Portable than if each had been sleep
ing alone. Boxer and Woof Woof
didn't know it, but this WAS the last
winter that they would sleep together.
Shortly after Old Mother Nature
started the sap to running up the
maple trees she mnst have whispered
in the ears of Mother Bear and the
cubs that spring vas coming. Any
way, they awoke early one morning.
Mother Bear awoke first. For long
time she lay there trying to make up
her mind whether or not to get up
and 20 and see what the weather was
like outside. She was little stiff
from her long sleep, and SO she slow
ly stretched first one leg and then
another to get the stiffness out of
them. This awoke the cubs and they
did likewise. Finally Mother Bear
decided to look outside.
Now the cubs had no intention Of
being left behind. They promptly
scrambled to their feet and followed
her out There was still some snow
in the Green Forest, but there were
places which we're bare. Down along
the Laughing Brook the brown and
green hoods of the skunk cabbage
we're already showing. All about
were signs of spring.
Now, you would suppose that
those Bears would have thought of
their stomachs the very first thing.
Not q thing had they had to eat
since they went TO sleep at the be-
ginning OF the winter. But they
didn't think of their stomachs. No,
sir, they didn't think Of their ston1-
schg at all The truth ia they were
not hungry They bad taken pains
to get fat IN the fall when tbc beech
nuts and acorns were plentiful, and
now they we're iust about as fat as
when they had gone 10 sleep. The lean
time would come later.

By Executors of Bent Estate
Fortune iii Securities Reveals Astuteness of
Woman Financer in $5OO,OOO Steel Deal in
Panic of 1907; Total More Than $3, 500, 900

800; 1900 shares of Union Pacific
stock, valued at s14d,550: S16O,o0o
in Liberty bonds, Northern Pacific
bonds valued at $4,000, $44,500 worth
of thirty-year god bonds of the New
York Central system and various other
steel and railroad securities, valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
These securities were turned over to
the custody Of the temporary admins
traitors, Mrs. Bent's husband and the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, who
will offer her will for probate next
week.
1t was explained yesterday that, al
though will made by Mrs Bent in
1878. the only one she left, cannot dis
pose of her estate because the bene-
fciares named in that are dead, it will
be offered for probate to permit the
Surrogate to decide that the will has
no status now and that the estate can
be apportioned to her husband, half
brother and half-sisters as if there had
been no will. Mrs. Bent's first hus-
band, Albert Wykotf, died many years
ago.
Three years ago, while at Miami, Fla,
Mrs. Bent is reported to have told
friends that she had made a codicil to
her will, but she never revealed any
of the beneiiciaries under that codicil.
nor has any codicil or new will been
