LOUIS, May 31. An ordinance placing all public dance halls under licensed control of the city has become effective here. The halls will be regulated by the Department of Welfare. Violations of the ordinance will be minuhania hv o nnp rsT frnm XV o to $500. Passage of the act resulted from investigation of the "crime wave" in St. Louis several months ago by the Board of Alderman. Police officers said much crime was traced to dance halls. The ordinance stipulates that a license fee, ranging from $30 to $150 a year, according to the size of the hall, shall be paid to the city. Persons under 17 years old are

barred from halls after S p. m. unless however, in our grain markets and accompanied by parents or guardians j banking activities. The farmer is exor by an adult with a permit from the j ceedingly conservative in his purparents or guardians. Proprietors of j chase of goods, and buying In the

THE

General Improvement Financial . Status Points to Stabilization

CHICAGO, May 31. The business survey for the month of May, as reflected by the federal reserve bank of Chicago, is as follows: General improvement in the financial situation points to a gradual stabilization of business conditions. Business is going through a process of "backing- and filling" as a result of the effort to liquidate stocks purchased at higher prices, and to replenish at the new market level, lines of merchandise as they are exhausted. One factor stimulating hope in the business mind is the utterance, of W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board, at the foreign trade convention, expressing the belief that 'we are now entering the final stago of the great post-war re-adjustment period," and that "the most of our problems are now behind us, from a banking standpoint." Continuing, Mr. Harding said: "The one great problem which still confronts the banker, and it is a problem which also concerns the producer and the distributor equally, is the question of how to thaw frozen credits, because, of necessity, after the great period of expansion that we have witnessed and the re-adjustment that has followed, many credits which were thought to be liquid, have been frozen." His utterance that "now in the present situation where many institu tions throughout the country find credits, formerly liquid, now in a frozen state, it seems important that something be done to start a movement," is stimulating renewed activity in the effort to break up the frozen credits and thus facilitate the thawing process. Money Rates Ease. Improvement in foreign exchange is encouraging the hope of an increased movement of farm products, as well as manufacturing, to foreign countries, which will contribute to thawing out of many credits in the more strictly agricultural districts. Loans and discounts and invesements other than United States securities owned, reported by individual member banks, in selected cities scattered over the Seventh federal reserve district, show results of the general liquidation in process since the peak in October. Total borrowings on May 11 showed decrease of 33 per cent from the peak in October, and of 16 per cent from April 9. Chicago banks on that date showed decrease in borrowings Of 53 per cent from the peak in October, and of 24 per cent from April 9, while Iowa banks showed decrease in borrowings of 31 per cent from the peak in December, and of 10 per cent from April 9. The Federal reserve bank of Chicago shows a practically steady improvement since April 1 of this year. Total bills on hand show a sharp decrease since that time, while increase in total reserves and decrease in Fed eral reserve notes in actual circulation reflect this change. Total deposits have been fairly steady, except for the decline on April 27. The reserve ratio indicates the generally improved conditions since April 1. On March 18, a change was made in the method of computation of the reserve ratio; from which date, total deposits were used instead of net deposits as previously. Farm Work Delayed. Farm work has been retarded in part of the Seventh Federal reserve district by weather conditions. The unseasonable weather and especially cold spell and frost has done considerable damage to fruit, especially that which blossoms early, although this damage is quite spotted, and consequently it is difficult to make anytning HKe an accurate estimate as to its extent. There has been some aDanaonment or winter wheat acre age, but the crop, according to reports now available, although somewhat uneven in fields, is in good condition, the late frost not being much of a factor because of the hardiness of the plant. While the spring wheat acreage is not as large as last year, there is comparatively little of this class of wheat grown in the Seventh Federal reserve district. Spring wheat is a factor. farm communities is' reported quite limited. In the manufacturing centers trade continues in a surprisingly good volume, in view of the general depression. This is especially noticeable in those cities where industries experienced a sharp slump around the end of the year, but since have picked up in activities, even, though considerably below last year's operations. There is considerable evidence and this Is borne out by the movement of merchandise in the centers that funds accumulated during prosperous years are now being drawn upon and used; savings deposits in many instances show declines. 4 Collections are somewhat mixed.

some Instances they are reported slow; In others, fair; and the situation as regards collections seems to turn upon the ability of business men to liquidate their inventories. Auto Industry Improves The motor industry apparently is one of the first of the great manufacturing lines to rebound from the extreme depression of December. Detroit reports operations from 60 to 100 percent, a condition which is enabling manufacturers who. bought materials at high prices to work them up into the finished product. In this way they are permitted to liquidate their merchandise without such serious losses as seemed probable a few months ago. Prices of cars have been lowered again in several instances, this being made" possible by the pur chase of raw materials at lower prices. One of the prominent bankers in Detroit estimates that in another 30 to 60 days all high-priced in ventories will have been liquidated. At the same time the cost of labor is slowly coming down and efficiency in creasing in cities like Detroit. One outstanding feature in the mo tor industry, as in other lines of business, is that those who are showing courage in the conduct of their business by forging ahead and manufacturing or using up high-priced materials on hand and replenishing at lower costs are finding a ready market for their products, even though it be at reduced prices; while those who have adopted a more conservative policy of manufacturing are necessarily liquidating their inventories more slowly, and consequently are having difficulty in working out of the condition in which they found themselves at the close of last year. For instance, some of the leading motor companies report production in excess of a year ago; this is in moderate or low-priced cars. A factor from the dealer's standpoint is that there is a more limited market for used cars, due to unemployment, and general depression. Accordingly, the dealer finds his capital tied up in these cars, and is unable to make further sales, involving trade, until he has liquidated such stock. Many of the steel contracts to motor companies contain adjust ment clauses. BERLIN RESIDENTS GO BACK TO LAND, TAKE CAVES AS RESIDENCES (By Associated Press) BERLIN, May 31. The colony of :v;"w-,-.r-"";..:r:" ally that scores of men, women, boys and girls dug caves for themselves in the banks of the Spree just out of Berlin and discarded all modern wearing apparel, has been dispersed by the police. The colony's leader. Dr. Heinrich Goldberg, argued before a magistrate that the experiment was a simple solution of the housing and cost of living problems. The cave-dwellers began by discarding hats and shoes, but soon decided to do away with clothing altogether, and in this fashion disported themselves in the waters of the Spree or tat about their cave doors munching black bread and sausages, apparently oblivious to the crowds of sightseers which began to frequent the vicinity.

Little Progress Being 'Made j ; - on Tax and Tariff Measures

There have been a few thoroughly sound arguments by tltA ... 1 1 .1 . . . nrst class men, but for the most part those who come to tell the senators how they ought to do it are persons also strongly moved by fixed ideas and generally radical ideas. Senator Penrose, the chairman of the committee, became rather irritated the other day by the futility of it. and announced that the hearings would be encYd shortly. The truth is, seventeen senators who have listened for some weeks to this sort of thing have not been much affected by it.

are as confident now as at any time that sooner or later this new form of

taxation will come. They say it will come because the country must have the money, and this is the only way to get it. They have the confidence of inevitability. ' The new tariff bill is not very much farther ahead and, except for special interests affected, has not had much more attention than the tax bill. It probably will be the middle of next month before either bill will have reached even that tentative stage of progress that marks introduction into congress. The reason for the lack of interest, the hesitation, and the slow progress on these domestic matters lies in the uneasy feeling, which increases daily, that these things after all are not primary but secondary, and that nothing we can do about them can be very effective until after something has been accomplished in the way of an affirmative policy looking towards the stabilization of Europe.

MAY APPOINT WOMAN ATTENDANCE OFFICERS INDIANAPOLIS, May 31. Appolnt-

j ment of a woman as school attendance I officer for Indiana, a new position erected by the last legislature, may result from the drive being made by various woman organizations, including the League of Women Voters. -Among the candidates for the place, the men far outnumber the women, there being twelve men seeking the place, while only three women have made application. Selection has been placed by the State Board of Education with a sub-committee of three members, State Superintendent L. N. Hines, E. U. Graff, of Indianapolis, and i Clifford Fundenberg. of Huntington Meetings of the committee are understood to have disclosed apparently a majority sentiment for a woman, but definite decision Has been deferred pending investigation of the candidates, especially their fitness fur the position. Women organizations urging the appointment of one of their number declared that the new law providing for the officer was urged on the legislature by them, and that their support of it apparently was i big factor in its enactment. No dale, however, has been set for definite selection of the officer. Forty-six persons are said to have died in England at more than 120 years of age.
