HBetter Mental Attitude and
More Encouraging OUT
look" Monthly Business
Review Declares

Advancement to normal business
conditions, though Irregular" is re-
ported as more in evidence in the
month of February than in any other
month of the reconstruction period
thus far, in the Monthly Business
Review issued Wednesday by the
Federal Reserve. bank of Atlanta.
The report is distinctly optimistic,
indicating "a better mental attitude
and a more encouraging outlook"
The sixth district summary shows
a hopeful local situation, while the
index to Wholesale prices for the en-
tire country, compiled by the fed
eral reserve board for international
comparisons, shows that prices in
February increased points, or 20
per cent. Imported goods remained
stationary, at ITO points in January
and February; but domestic goods
increased points, from 40 to LA
over the preceding month.
The sixth district summary pro-
ceeds:
Text of Summary
aEvidence OF i1npr ov einent in the
business of the district during Feb
ruary is shown in comparisons of re-
tail and wholesale trade, and debts
to individual accounts shown In this
issue of the Review. Actual in
creases are shown in sales in some
of the wholesale lines, and the per-
centages of decrease shown in others,
in retail sales, and in debts to indi-
vidual accounts, reflect a more ia
Vorable comparison than has been
the case heretofore.
1.-THE statement of debts to indi-
vidual accounts at fifteen cities of
the district for February showed a
decrease of SO per cent compared
with the same period a year ago;
the comparison for January reflected
a decrease of 1875 per cent, and for
December, a decrease of 1873 per
cent. Sales by department stores
the condition of retail
trade during February were 1915 per
cent below figures for February a
year ago, but this percentage shows
the most favorable comparison for
several months, and price levels are
considerably lower than was the case
in February, 1921.
Lumber. manufacturers are en-
couraged over the increase in the
volume of inquiries being received,
although buying has shown only
moderate improvement. Building
continues active in most of the cit
ias anG towns of the district. Build
Mg trades are well employed, and
public Improvements, some under
way and others in prospect, will fur
nish employment to many workers
now idle.
while cotton manufacturers re-
porting to the Review show a slack
ening in output during February,
the survey conducted by the Unit
ed States department of labor showed
a slight increase in the number of
textile workers employed in Geor
gia on February Is over the num-
Der on payrolls on January Is. In
other states, however, there was a
downward tendency in textile en-
ployment. While production of both
cotton yarn and cotton cloth in this
district was less in February than
during January, figures reported by
rel esentative mills showed substan-
tiaN increase over production, ship
ments and orders on hand for Feb
ruary, 1921.
Production of coal in Tennessee
during February showed material

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

The doctor, from whose son I have
the story, guarded the treasures and
Schlome demanded to be called to
read the first passage from the Bible.
''That honor" said he, reserved
to the most pious and most venerable
among you, is mine by right, since
you have all been wicked and l was
your victim"
Having said this, he put back his
sabre in it's sheath and left his post
of combat. He took up a prayer
cloak, wrapped it about him and
solemnly pronounced the formula of
the benediction which precedes the
reading of the book.
The sacred writings had been
taken from the Tabernacle. Bending
over the holy text, Schlome read with
loud voice the first verse; another
followed and the ceremony took its
course without any other incident to
trouble the piety of the congregation.
When the first stars appeared in the
sky, the Jewish community of Busk,
according to their Creators law,
could peacefully, after the cruel or
deal, break the fast of the Great
Atonement.
The following day the whole coun-
ell came to kneel on the threshold
of Schlome's hut and publicly made
amends. The three hundred and fifty
forins were paid. Leah, who was an
Industrious woman, Immediately
hired two assistants and reopened the
tailor shop. After settling his ac-
counts before he returned to service,
Schlome discovered that he had one
hundred fiorins too much. He made
a gift of this sum to the poor of
all creeds. The synagogue was scan
dalized, but submitted to this supple
mentary penance.
Two years later Schlome was hon
orably discharged from the army, and
on his return to the village resumed
his old business. He made his side
curls grow again and slowly returned
to the wonted life of the Jewish ar
tisan of Galicia. On seeing him pass
through the village, so quiet, gentle
and humble, whoever did not know
his story, would have been surprised
to hear his name was Schlome Sell
ner, which means Schlome, the
Fighter.
He had really fought for his right.
He had come out of the fight vic
tor. I wish you the same courage
and the same luck, my readers.

you are sinful, you are an abomina-
ton in Israel. You have allowed me
to be dragged away from my home
( at night. You have sold me even as
Benjamin was sold by his brothers.
s You have exposed to abject misery
my wife Leah, and my children, who
lived on the produce of my labor.
All this you have done, in order that
you might cowardly save one of your
own. You hoped that bullet would
make an end of me and remove the
proof of your crime. But God has
protected me and here am. I re-
turn as avenger. I declare to you
today, the day of the Great Atone
ment, that you will not perform the
holy ceremony on which depend life
and death of each creature, and that
you will not be pardoned, unless you
offer me full reparation for your
odious crime"
A voice rose: "Let us call the
gendarmesw and the crowd burst into
cries of insulting approval and dashed
out to summon armed force.
But the gendarmes were now the
friends of Schlome Fuss. When they
heard what had happened, they found
the incident rather amusing and de-
clared that they could not enter the
synagogue without formal order.
Who would issue it? There was no
tribunal in Busk.
The outraged worshippers went to
the Christian syndic, who replied that
he had no authority over the syna-
gogue. The police court was fifteen
miles from the village. Even had it
been nearer, a Jew cannot go on
horseback or in a carriage on the day
of the Great Atonement. They had
to renounce their desire to see
Schlome punished at the risk of not
performing the ceremony indispens-
able for that absolution which our
weakness needs.
They returned to the synagogue
and found Schlome, his sabre still
unsheathed, standing guard before
the tabernacle.
The rabbi approached in humble
attitude.
"Schlome," said he with tremulous
voice, "what do you want us to do?"
sYou will go with me tomorrow"
replied he, "and with the whole
council you will on your knees beg
pardon from my wife and my chill
dren."
$50 be it," said the rabbi, resolute-
ly, "we shall do it."
"That is not all. You must pay
me an indemnity. I need the money
to keep my family while I finish my
term Of service. I have still some
years more to serve. have made
