 He took a forward step and 1a1d his hand on Jasper's chest Before he culd push Jasper away from him Jasper laid his right palm on Kirby's face, put his foot back of Kirby right heel and sent Kirby spinning against the fence.
 Kirby grunted- Jasper moved away swiftly.

BUSINESS IN NEW ENGLAND
 BETTER THAN 4 YEAR AGO

Boston. Oct. 3o.--Manufacturing sc- tivity in New England is better than al any time since lsst November and re- tail trade has been very much better this fan than 1t was a year ago. says the monthly review of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. made public tonight
 Taken all in all" the review says. conditions in the textile industry arc distinctly encouraging and in view Of the fact that this industry is the larE- est in New England and is peculiarly sensitive to changes in general business conditions. 1t tends to make the general outlook good for the immediate future in New England"
 Tho metal trades also arc improving, the review continues, and there Is all ready scarcity of skilled workmen for the metal trades in several New England centers.
 "The volume of contracts awarded for new, construction in New England this fall while considerably less than the rec ord amounts placed in the late spring and early summer. is still large enough to indicate that building activity prob ably will not decline as much this win ter as usual"
 Referring to retail trade the review says
 ''Merchants report that better rrsde of merchandise is being bought now than last fall. The public has apparently be- come encouraged by the prospect for general business improvement and is spnding it's money more freely" | As to the transportation situation. the review says, that the car shortage "msy tend to keep manufacturing from ex- banding faster and farther than funda- mental conditions warrant"

 Achievement in the Field of International Relations in the Past Twenty Months.

Boston, Mas, oct S0.-A foreign poll icy of helpfulness and good understand ing without entanglements which would letter American independence, was out lined by Secretary; Hughes of the state department in an address in symphony hall tonight reviewing the record of the Harding administration in the field of in- ternatienal relations.
 By the lead it took in the arms con- ference, the secretary said, and by it's eff forts toward harmony among the nations of the western hemisphere the American government during the past twenty months has set ar ecord of accomplish ment far beyond what was expected Of it when the new administration came fn- to power.
 So far as Europe Is concerned. Mir. Hughes declared, President Harding and his advisers always have been ready to lend helping hand where 1t would do the most good, but are not willing to frit- ter away the Influence of the United States by intervention il. controversies that are rooted in age-old national rival ries.
 "The chief trouble at this time in Flu. rope,' he continued lis that the great powers have not been able to agree as to questions which, being distinctly Europe an questions. directly concern them, and their want of agreement is due to differ ent conceptions of essential national poll icy. For us, international cooperation does not mean that we should embroil ourselves in controversies not involving our own interests

 The defendant, who Is acting as his own counsel. drew from Pride the stata- ment that the accountant knew "very little" about Ponzis business
 Pride, under direct examination, said that in his report to the federal attor- neysshe estimated Ponzi's liabilities at S7.oOoO. .00o. This he said. was based on the face value of the notes. It was diffi- cult to estimate, he declared how much money had been taken in because many investors, after realizing the "5o per cent. ture of Ponzi's scheme, reinyested their notes.

LULU IN THE ELECTION
 CAMPAIGN IN BRITAIN

London. Oct. 30.-(By the A. P.)-- There has been a slight luil in -big gum election oratory today The new prime minister. Mir. Bonar Law, moved into his official residence II, Downing, street and will hold his first cabinet meeting tomorrow. He is stili experiencing difi- culty in completing his ministry.
 MT. Lloyd, George and Lord Birken- head in their recent speeches tGias- gow made great play with tho mediocre political capacity and attainments Of the statesmen the prime minister had gather cd around him as compared with tilose who remained loyal to Lloyd George. and these personal attacks on the new ad- ministration have caused considerable angry feeling on the part Of the prime minister's lieutenants, the more especially as in their election campaign they are feeling their inferiority in oratory in com parison with their opponents.
 Moreover. Stanley Baldwn, who is MT. Bonar Laws chief lieutenant. is generally thought to have been somewhat tactless from an electioneering standpoint when he declared there would be no immediate reduction in taxation. Altogether. in the general estimation of the press. MT. Bon ar Laws stock seems to be in a falling market, while the Lloyd George stock, the ntwspaptrs assert, Is rising.
