Hopeful Signs
Col. Leonard P. Ayres of the Cleveland Trust Co. com-
plains that our recovery program cannot permanently ef-
fective until some means of reviving the “capital goods”
■J industries is found; and simultaneously comes reports that
at least a few industries already are beginning to feel a
very definite revival.
The steel industry for example looks forward to a
very busy first quarter period in 1934—due in part to
the government’s success in putting over a deal for pur-
] chase of new rails by the railroads.
Other reports state that orders for about 15000
! freight cars are to be replaced. In all of 1932 only 1739
were built; the total for 1933 will be around 2500. Sim-
. ilarly the railway locomotive manufacturers expect that
| between 150 and 200 new locomotives wdll be ordered
* this winter.
Evidently the capital goods revival that Colonel Ayres
* yearns for already is getting under way.
A Fine Bunch of Boys
You get a good insight into one of the most-discussed
* angles of “big time” intercollegiate football in the re-
ports of the recent party at Montclair N. J. where Yale
* football players and alumni gathered for a free-for-all dis-
* cussion of Yale’s current athletic fortunes.
A member of last year’s somewhat unfortunate foot-
; ball team explained that the fun of playing was more im-
'• portant than rolling up a string of victories; and an ardent
l old grad then expressed himself as follows:
“They’re a fine bunch of boys all right but if they
l don’t win football games that breaks down one of the
* strongest ties between us and present-day Yale.”
Right there you have the traditional alumni attitude
* In its baldest form. It is this desire on the part of the
t graduate to revive his sentimental loyalty by a regular
* chain of victories that is largely responsible for the evils
« of “overemphasis” in college football.
V
More Bank Supervision '
Increased government supervision of the nation’s
* banking system seems likely to follow on the heels of the
new deposit insurance plan.
Reports from Washington say that officials of the
I Reconstruction Finance Corporation are considering ways
of assuming a voice in the control of banking institutions
into which millions of RFC funds have been pumped.
The RFC has spent $823000000 buying capital stock
in nearly 5000 banks; it is hardly surprising that such ex-
i tensive stock purchases should be expected to carry a
J voice in management.
Just where this tendency is going to take our bank-
J ing structure however is not entirely clear. Are we in-
sensibly heading in the direction of straight-out govern-
* ment operation of the banking business?
A man who believes in signs almost could be induced
to think so.
Outspoken Justice
Circuit Judge J. V. Gaddy of St. Joseph Mo. in-
dulged in some very sensible plain speaking when he in-
* structed the grand jury to return indictments in the Ivnch-
. ing of Lloyd Warner negro.
“The danger of the mob” he pointed out “lies in the
letting down of individual responsibility. It wasn’t a de-
* sire to administer justice or prevent a recurrence of
Warner’s crime which sent the mob against the jail. It
I was hate the same passion that engenders any murder.
; “When you find the real leaders of that mob. you
will find men of not much higher moral standards than the
man they murdered.”
Here is straight talk and intelligent talk. A little
more of it from persons in authority and we might ha\e
fewer lynchings.

_Lesson Subject |
"Sacrament * is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ Scientist
on Sunday. Jan. 14.
The Golden Text is: “Let us keep
the feast not with old leaven
neither with the leaven of malice
and wickedness; but with the un-
leavened bread of sincerity and
truth" (I Corinthians 5:8).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is th? fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Ye also as
lively stones are built up a spiritual
house an holy priesthood to offer
up spiritual sacrifices acceptable
to God by Jesus Christ" (1 Peter
2:5).
The Lesson Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook. Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: “Our
Eucharist is spiritual communion
with the one Ood. Our bread ’which
cometh down from heaven* is Truth.
Our cup is the cross. Our wine the
lnsplrat'on of Love the draught
our Master drank and commended
to his followers" (page 35).

Letter
Although you may have read
much about a new kind of eye-
glasses that are Invisible and can
be worn under the eyelids you
needn’t fear that your own type of
spectacles soon will become old-
fashioned.
Much can be said for the new
kind of glasses both as to appear-
ance and effectiveness but author-
ises say they never will repmee
ordinary spec.acles because they
coat mere they are more difficult
to manipulate and they are leas
adaptable to ordinary requirements
of glaaaes.
A contact eyeglass actually is
worn under the eyelids with the
rim resting directly on the eye-
ball. The portion of the eyeglass
direct!}’ over that part of the eye
which sees usually la separated
from it by a thin layer of salt so-
lution especially prepared ao that
It will not like water have an ef-
fect on the tissues.
• • •
Ordinary eyeglasses one - half
inch from the eye simply cannot
cure every error of refraction be-
cause In higher errors there is dis-
tortion at the edge of the correct-
. tact eyeglass which -
worn on the eyeball becomes a
definite part of the optical system
of the eye and maintains the s&ma
correction for every position of the
eye.
This is an advantage and n«st
people who wear contact glasses f»
the first time feel that .he general
clearness and brightness of objects
la an improvement.
The contact glass has another
advantage in conditions in which
the cornea r* the eye is distorted
as In the case of canlcal corr
These cases are helped much by
ordinary glasses but ore helped
greatly by contact glasaea.
• • •* /
Borne people feel that the con-
tact glasses are dangerous to wear
but actual trial has proved that
they are safer than ordinary eye
j
—
classes so far as breakage Is con-
cerned.
In seme cases the contact glass-
es have been worn by persons for
many months without any apparent
barm to their eyes.
However even where the con-
tact glass is made to fit the eye-
ball perfectly there Is for a wtule
a good deal of irritation to the eye-
lids. As the glasses are worn for
a longer time this irritation tends
to disappear.
It is much harder to fit contact
glasses to the human eye than to
fit ordinary spectacle* They have
to be tried again and again then
the wearer has to be taught how
to insert them and to remove them
because there is a trick in avoid-
ing air bubble* over that portion
of the eye covered by the salt so-
lution.
Hie contact glasses have to be
removed and inserted several times
daily.
Workers on fie stage men In-
dulging in sports of various sorts
and people with whom the ques
tion of appearance ta paramount
probably will want to wear such
glasses rather than spectacles.

mouths are put together Imperfect-
ly; they damage clothing only while

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER XLI
DANNISTER abandoned his dis-
covery almost as soon as bo
bad made it Ertm if bo were right
about it ho didn’t seo bow he
could possibly reconcile bis sus-
picions with the (acts. The photo-
graph he decided had nothing to
do with Tracy King’s murder and
all the time he bad spent trying to
And a hidden meaning In It waa
simply wasted. He gave bis atten-
tion to what Juliet Prance was
saying.
"1 don’t blame you for not be-
ttering me." she went on. “bo
cause tome o( the things I told you
weren't true" She was not look-
ing at him now; her eyes were
on the slender to* of her slipper.
“I didn’t go to Tracy King's apart-
ment that night to ask for a fob.
What I told you about losing a
memorandum there — that wasn’t
true either. 1 went there to get
some letter*—"
There we* an Instant’s pan*
aud thee she hurried on. "The let-
ters were some I had to hare! I
asked him to giro them te me
and be refused. But they were
there in th* apartment. 1 know
that" Suddenly the girl raised her
eyes. "The police wouldn t heller*
me." ehe said "but It’s trua Don’t
yen see wnat It mean*? Don’t
you?"
Bannister said. "Pm afraid I
don’t see."
"The letters were there." Juliet
Prance insisted "but th* police
didn’t dnd them. That meant
someone els* wee there after I
left Someone else came to Traey
King's apartment It must hare
been the person who killed him—*
Bannister said slowly "You
mean someone else took the let-
ters?"
The girl nodded. "They must
hare! Otherwise th* police would
har* found them."
"Were they letters." Bean liter
asked "that would be of value to
anyone else?"
The gir» did not meet hla gut
"No." the said. "They warp-per
senai"
"Then you haven’t any idea who
the other person could hare been?"
She shook her heed. "No. 1
haven’t” t
Bannister waited hoping ehe
would go on. He wanted her story
[
to bo plausible wanted to believe
every word she sold. And. tllog
iealiy It was because she did not
defend herself that be said sud
deeiy.
"listen you’re right about tbe
police. They let you com# bore
but they’ve been watching yon all
tbe time. They think — oh. it
doesn't matter wbat they think I I
want you to know 1 believe you.
I've known from tbe very first you
couldn't bavo anything to do with
this murder."
• • •
npHE girl said. "I’ll never forget
that you said that!"
"It was because I was so sure
of it" Bannister went on. "that I
decided to work on tbe case—to
see wbat I could find out Oh. It
hasn’t been much. I’ll admit—"
"I was afraid that was tbs rea-
son." Juliet Interrupted. “That’s
why I asked you to give it up. I’ve
been so afraid something would
happen. And something did hap-
pen! Last night!"
Suddenly Bannister was talking
i as he had wanted to talk for days.
"Tea something happened last
night" be said. "The police can’t
find any connection between Mel-
vina Hollister * death and Tracy
King's But I’m sure it’s there If
we only knew where to look."
Ho told her what he knew of
Molvlna Hollister and her brother
about Melvlna’s quarrel with Tracy
King after her canary's death. He
told about his conversation with
Matthew a few day* later when
Matthew had said "I think Mal-
vina knows something she's keep-
ing to herself. Something that hap-
pened that night"
Bannister said "When I re-
minded him of that yesterday he
didn’t aeem to remember at all.
Just said there couldn’t be any row
son for anyone to harm his sister.
He seemed completely broken
up—"
"What Is the brother like?" tbe
girl asked.
He tried to describe Msttbew
Hollister. He told her wbst be bad
learned about tbe Hollister fortune
and the frugal way tn which the
brother and slater bad lived. Then
be went on to tho photograph ho
had shown hor. told bow be had
found It on tho floor of Tracy
King’s bedroom and sent It away to
•ee if the figures could bo Identi-
fied. He showed her the letter with
which the photograph had been re-
turned.
"At first ” be said. "1 thought
perhaps I ought te tura it over to
the police. But there wasn't any-
