Seasonal influences of course are larzely responsible for the upward trend, but the improvement is even bet- ter than the usual seasonal increase in many instances. Shoe Industry Better. In the boot and shoe industries a number of factories are being operated at capacity and many workers who have been idle for some time past have been recalled. A further improvement is ex- pected to be registered in this industry during March. Increased actlvity is noted in several branches in the textile industry as well, both in production and employment.

Arkansas Lawmakerl Lives With Bullet In Auricle of Heart Physicians Describe Case as One of Few in His- tory of Mcdicine. By the Assoclated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 20— State Representative W. U. McCabe, who lies in a hospital here with a bul- let lodged in the right auricle of his heart, is one of the few similar cases in medical annals, according to sur- geons. McCabe was wounded March 12 when a bullet fired through the door of his hotel room struck him in the breast. J. G. Lansdale of Atlanta, Ga., i3 now charged with having fired the shot. ‘The very seriousness of the wound probably was the indirect result of keep- ing McCabe alive, physicians pointed out. They explained his heart action was so weak that a blood clot was able to form in the hole made by the bul- let, sealing the wound and preventing his blood from being wasted. Sur- geons said the bullet must remain in the heart, for to remove it would cause death. gllie. . NEW RAPHAEL FOUND Madonna ' Discovered in 'Obscure Gallery at Albenga. ALBENGA, Italy (#).—A Raphael Madonna, it is believed, has been dis- covered here in an obscure gallery con- taining only 10 paintings. Experts have certified its authenticity, and it will probably be taken to the large: gallery at Genoa. ‘The painting shows the “Madonna of Divine Love,” with .the child Jesus l‘mdln{ on her knees and laughing at little St. John the Baptist. Nearby is St. Egmbeth kneeling and near her St. Joseph. ‘The moment the authorities of Genoa heard about the discovery they swooped down on the gallery and practically padlocked it. They forbade the owner to make any disposition of the Raphael or the other paintings.

UABORS FATELP TOLLOYD GORGE Crisis in Liberal Party to De- termine Whether Govern- ment Can Endure. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, March 20.—Duration of the Labor government depends, critics believed, upoxs <olution of the crisis in, the Liberal party, which probably will reach its head at a meeting of the Lib- erals next Tucsday. Unless David Lloyd George, nominal leader, shall procure the loyalty of the bulk of his followers and rely upon their co-operation in divisions, he obviously cannot guarantee that support to the government which it must have if it is to live. It is understood he is using the inter- val until next Tuesday, when he will present to the Liberal party a series of resolutions outlining their relation to the government, in attempting to reach an agreement with the government which will be indorsed by own fol- lowers and Laborites as well. Nol but Lloyd George and his confidants know his plans for solving this difficult problem, but lobbyists credit with a scheme for keeping the government in office at least i8 months. i, BANKER IS INDICTED' Receiving Deposits for Insolvent Institution Charged.
