Farmers are marketing crops as they are harvesting, and there is a decidedly better feeling in the rural districts in comparison with the Fall of 1920. The feeling is general that the market improvement in business is substantial and sound, the review says, and that the period of depression is gradually pressing into the back- ground and will remain there for a long time. The feeling that further readjust- ments are necessary still continues to show in spots. It is to the effect that business still hampered by price in- equalities and wage scales which have not yet been completely adjusted, can- not continue the present pace and that the winter months will bring a slight reaction/ The report says the iron and steel industry shows improvement, the Ang. output of pig iron showing the first monthly gain in ten months. PARIS BANDITS USE ETHER. Two Try to Rob Financier But Are Arrested. Paris, Sept. 28.—A Paris financier named De Lisle last night was the victim of a daring attempt of two Itallan bandits, who tried to chloro- form him in a taxicab. De Lisle had invited a friend to dine at a smart Montmartre restau- rant to celebrate the latter's nomi- nation to the Legion of Honor. After dinner De Lisle left the friend, who lived close by, and hailed a taxi. As he was getting in two young men stepped up and said they were going in the same direction and asked if he would kindly share the cab. De Lisle acquiesced. Soon he felt a ickly odor over- coming him. He had just sufficient strength left to smash a window, which attracted the driver's atten- tion. Seeing something wrong, the driver pulled up near two policemen, who arrested the bandits. The two men confessed they had intended to rob De Lisle because they saw a well-filled wallet when he was paying the dinner bill. in Cab, PUBLISH HARVARD GRADES.
