SHANGHAI. Sept. 20- Bandit chieftains in some of the interior provinces have hit upon "a new racket"
 As one means of providing them selves with steady source of reye- nue at minimized risk they have taken to robbing the tombs of their ancestors and selling the loot to curio dealers.
 In the eyes of the Chinese masses this form of theft makes the per petrators as low as certain classes of their countrymen who worship insects and reptiles. And the bug worshippers" are considered very low class. indeed Still, the ban dits manage to survive such criti- cism, even though some of it comes

FRANCE HOLDS HEAD HIGH DESPITE DECLINE
 OF TRADE ELSEWHERE
By JOHN EVANS
GA. P. Staff Writer)

th. T. Stdll VIltciJ
 PARIS, Sept. 20.-France is proud that she has no unemployment al- though her business suffers from the world wide depression.
 Paul Reyhaud. minister of fi- nance told the American Club that France is better off than her neigh bors. He estimated French reduc- tion in trade as ten per cent.
 Premier Andre Tardieu, in an- ether address, admitted he was an incorrigible optimist and said he had reason for being so.
 Shake off the load of dead ideas that burden the living" he urged. Beware of the epidemic of grum- bling that seems to be attacking in dividuals, classes and peoples. Be faithful to the joy of work well done, expressed in France in a song of centuries
 Just how France is travelling with reasonable comfort over the slough of despond is explained by econom- ists as situation of many factors.
 Fall Order Books
 Unemployment rarely has both cred the French, they say, because her system of work is based on the full order book Men aren't laid off often because a business firm seldom takes on men for a rush period, but keeps the old staff busy all the time, advance orders carry ing over any slack months. As en- ployment is constant, buying keeps up fairly well.
 The war reduced Frances man. power by million and a half. To replace this loss great numbers of immigrant laborers were admitted under temporary Ministry of labor licenses. Now when unemployment threatens, the ministry merely stops labor immigration.
 Depression, nevertheless, is rec ognized as affecting France to an increasing degree. One indication is the automobile industry. The largest plant here in April showed drop of percent in output from last year and in May this reduction became 25 per cent. Some other makers did slightly better including Ford, who is reported to have im- proved slightly on last years pro- duction of 1000 cars a month.
 American Cars Suffer
 Other American cars have suf- fered badly this summer, which is attributed to the disposition of the average Frenchman to buy lower priced cars. Luxury types, both French and American, sell as usual, the rich still being rich and want ing to spend their money.
 Other lines are more difficult to check, but trade papers and econ omists generally agree trade is slackening in France although the prices are keeping up.
 This maintenance of prices, in deed is one cause of disaffection, which finds expression in the strikes particularly in the textile region against the new social insurance system. This insurance requires contributions of per cent each from employer and employee. with additions by the government as ne- cessary. As many as 100000 men were on strike at one time, demand ing pay increases to balance the

 The romance that always turks in the Istanbul bazaars recently made a dramatic appearance in two Russian wardrobes.

While attempting to work the metal, he discovered that the bars were of platinum, and made 5000.
