as usual it is added as factor of spe- cial importance.
 Discussing manufacturing activity, the review says:
 'TThe average rate of manufacturing activity in New England during October was higher than at any time since the beginning of the business depression in 1920. Production was at the average rate of nearly 30 per cent. of full time capacity.
 Most of the larger industries of New England participated in the increased activity experienced between September and October and the improvement was ! widespread. The textile industry, how ever, which is perhaps more noteworthy ] than any other because it is the largest in this district, is operating at a higher | rate than it's normal average. Worsted 1 spinning spindles ran at 94 per cent. of | their single shift capacity during Octob- Ter and wide loom at 79 per cent. Pro duction in the cotton textile industry, while not quite as high as per cent of maximum as in the woolen and worsted sections, nevertheless shows an inn provement"
 In another section of the review, it is | stated:
 There was marked increase in ac- tiyity In thescotton industry, not only in 1 New England, but in the country as q l whole during. the month of October. The activity of the New England mills av- I craze close to eighty per cent. of capaci- ty during November, and a few were
 running overtime in certain depart l.ments.
 Conditions in the paper industry are relatively good-prices were firm during the past month. Paper production dur ing September was 274 per cent larger than in the same month last year. Man ufacturers stocks are lower than last
 year, while shipments are larger. There was little change in the activity
 of the metal trades industry between September and October and in fact
 dealers reported during November tha their sales had fallen off. The meta 2 trades, however, are nevertheless operat ing at higher rate than they did il li the fall of 1921, or in fact at any tim,

New York, Dec .1.-Establishment of an American National Theatre, long the dream of lovers of the dream, has been undertaken by the Producing Managers association with the cooperation of an initial committee of seventeen educat- DTS, publicsts. dramatists and actors, Augustus Thomas announced tonight. Universities specializing in dramatic courses have been asked to join the movement.
 MT. Thomas, who is executive chair man of the Producing Managers associ- ation, stated that articles of incorpora- tion are being prepared with the aim of , holding up the national theatre as "a lofty standard before all other thea trical enterprises
 Other ambitions he said were ito stim- ulate the study of the drama of the present and of the past in our <universi- ties, our colleges and our schools, and to organizt throughout the United States subsidiary groups to further these aims and purposes.
 To encourage the production of the best plays, interpreted by the best ac- tors is another of the incorporators' pur- poses.
 The seventeen men outside of the as- sociation who have consented to be incor- porators, are George Pierce, banker David Belasco, Nicholas Murray Butler
 Samuel Harden Church. Owen Davis,

 Washington, Dec. 1.-President Hard ing was not entirely satisfied with the shipping as it was passed by the house, 1t was declared at the White House ro- day. but at this time will not make known his objections, as to do so, it is felt, would only confuse the issues which are to be met when the measure is taken up in the senate.
 The executive, it was declared, had never recommended anything to congress in which he had more sincere interest and he felt it to be inconceivable that congress would fail to give "the needed aid" to the American merchant marine when there was such an economic loss | involved in the destruction. of the great fleet built up during the war a> The executive was said to feel that there would be mo hard sledding fol the bill, except the rules of the uppel house" and that 1t would be enacted in !! to law.

Review of Business in New Mexico
Manufacturing Production at Average Rate of Nearly 90 Per Cent. of Full Time Ca pacity.

. Boston, Dec. 1.-Although there is con- siderable difference of opinion as to the significance of many current changes. there has seemed to be at least temper seasonal slowing down in the rate of inn provement in business during the past few weeks, it is stated in the monthly review of industrial and financial condi- tions in New England made public to- day by the Federal Reserve bank. of Boston.
 As factors pointing to this conclusion, Chairman Frederick H. Curtiss mentions a recent upward trend in money rates, the motivating causes for which he says are in doubt the fact that the movement : of wholesale commodity prices during November was not as strongly upward as during October and the further fact that except in Boston stores department stores sales in New England cities in October were less than in the same
 month in 1920 and 1921. In none of the group of reporting stores was the gain between September and October as large
