MANUFACTURING IMPROVES.
And Retail Trade Is Better This Fall

Boston. Oct. 3l.--Msnufacturing
activity in New England is better than
at any time since last November and
retail trade has been very much bet
ter this fall than IL was year ago,
saws the monthly review Of the federal
reserve bank Of Boston made public
last night.

conditions in the textile industry are
distinctly encouraging, and in view OF
the fact that this industry is the larg-
est in New England and is peculiar

general outlook for the immediate sfu-

The metal trades also are improving,
the review continues, and there is al
ready a scarcity of skilled workmen
for the metal trades in several New
England eenters.
sThe volume Of contracts awarded
for new construction in New England
this fall, while considerably less than
the record amounts placed in the late
spring and early summer, is still large
enough to indicate that building ac-
tivity probably will not decline as
much this winter as usual"
Referring 10 retail trade the review
says:

Divorce Can Be Had for Asking in
Fiurne

Fiume counts a population Of 90"
600; $4,000 Of them received DEGREES
of divorce in the years 1920 and 1921,
saws the Philadelphia Record. Divorce
seems TO be the most hourishing Of 10
cal industries, and il is making the
city famous.
The reason is that the severance OF
the marital bond is easy there, and
people desiring freedom flock to Fiume
from neighboring states, where di-
vorces are not granted. Anyone can
get a divorce in Fiume who has lived
IN the city long enough to acquire the
rights of citizenship.
Complications, however, occasionally
arise. The case Is still remembered
of an Italian woman who acquired the
citizenship OF Fiume and divorced her
husband, who remained an Italian sub
iect. shortly after her divorce, she
re- married and returned to Italy,
where she was promptly imprisoned
for bigamy, the Italian law consider
ing her divorce null and void, her hus-
band being an Italian, and, as such,
not entitled to divorce.
