By the Associated Press PARIS.—Business probably will be a | little below par this year, but the world | as & whole is getting along pretty well, thinks Georges Theunis, former pre- mier of Belgium and president of the International Chamber of Commerce. A world business picture is given by him in his annual report on “Economic Conditions in 1929." The Wall Street crasn reduced pur- chasing power of farmers and miners, and heavy permanent capifal invest- ments during rece ars of expansion are cited as facto: sent mod- erate business re Encouraging Signs Seen.

Due to Weather, Cause of Exo- dus From South France. PARIS (#).—An exodus of small inn- keepers and merchants from the Ri- viera is indicative of a transformation in the vacation resorts of Southern France. Several successive bad seasons on the Riviera, caused by what seems defi- nla indifference of the weather man toward that long-favored region, have ! driven the smaller hotel keepers to other sections. - Ope of the most favored in this change is the Touraine country, through which flows the Loire River. The weather is mild the year around, and_on the Paris-Bordeaux highway small taverns are springing up much as they used to exist from Marseille | to Monte Carlo. i CHICAGO ASH CAN CLUB PROPRIETOR SHOT DOWN Peter Inserio, Saloonkeeper, Tells Police Whoever Fired on Him “Did Good Job.” By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 22.—Peter (Ash Can Pete) Inserio, whose North Elizabeth street saloon used to be callel the “Ash Can Club,” was shot to death last night. Six bullets entered his body, but In- serio, 40 years old, lived long enough to be taken to a hospital. A policeman asked who shot him. “I don‘t know,” he answered, “but they did a good job.” No witness has been found to the shooting. An hour earller Inserio had been sitting in front of the saloon, now called the “Idle Hour Club.” A search of the saloon disclosed a few nickels in the cash register. There was no liquor or beer there. Police believed “Ash Can Pete” may have been slain by enemies of the Moran-Aiello gang with whom, officers said, Inserio had recently formed a connection.” New Hymn Books Issued.
