Harvard Committee Makes Report After Thorough
 Investigation.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2. = The Harvard Committee on Economic Research, appointed by Harvard Uni versfty to make special studies oe economic conditions, has just an nounced that the United States may expect check in the upward move ment of prices and of business ac- tivity, which has been in progress since last April, and perhaps a drop in prices. At the present time, how ever, the conmmittee states, and on
 the basis of the November and De-
 cember figures, it would be prema-
 ture to conclude that a vident re- cession in commodity prices is pro5- able.
 Professor Warren M. Persons, edi- tor of the Statistical Service publish
 ed by the committee, says that the statistics collected by the committee indicate that the farmers will con-
 tinue to prosper in 1920 and that the
 prosperity of this industry will con-
 tribute to that of all others during
 the coming year.
 The beginning of the new year, he
 declares, finds American manufactur- ing industries in a sound and pros- porous condition.
 "The tightness of the money mar ket and the announced policy, al- ready inaugurated, of the Federal Board of increasing discount rates have caused many observers to have grave. misgivings- for the financial outlook for 1920" he says. Instead of causing alarm, the action of the Federal Reserve Board should in fact
 be regarded a favorable omen. High interest rates are the main re-
 dances for protecting bank reserves
 d f7nXy 1ln1J I oc-fa hut provided they are applied in time Control of interest rates is the safe and effective way of dealing with such a situation we now face, and it is to be hoped that nothing-not even the needs of the United States Treasury - will divert the Reserve Board from pursuing the only sane and conservative course.
 'The outlook for 1920 is for a continuance of 8 large demand for credit that will not be supplied ex- cept at increasing rates. High rates for bank loans will eventually tend to check the upward movement Of commodity prices as they have all ready checked the upward trend of security prices and the volume of speculation on the New York State Exchange
 On the belief of some business men i that the whole economic situation now is abnormal the committee says: Abnormal it certainly is in many re- l spects. Prices are very high; there has been great expansion of bank credit; eXtravagant expenditure, both public and private, is found on every hand and our abnormally large ex- port trade is likely to suffer curtail- ment. X K X A year ago many ob-
 servers expected a violent drop il prices and crisis in 1919. Today i there seems to be less reason for ex pecting such developments in 1920.'

COL. MURPHY IS
 FIRST SUBSCRIBER
 TO IRISH LOAN

Col. T. J. Murphy had the honor of making the first $25O subscription to the Irish Republic loan drive yester- day and his certificate will be auto graphed by President DeValera. The total of $6,000 was subscribed at the mass meeting in Poli's theatre. The subscriptions ranging from $10 to S25O.
 It is believed that Bridgeport's s quota of $1OO,O00 will be in before the end of the week.
 Ex-Mayor Denis Mulvihiu presided and in an eloquent speech introduced pr. Jonathan c. Day, a Presbyterian minister of New York as the prin- cipa1 speaker.
 Dr. Day said:
 ''I am speaking from this plat form,' said Dr. Day, mot as a Cath o1ic, but as a Protestant; I am speaking not as a Knight of Co1um- bus but as a Mason. I speak to you as the pastor of a Presbyterian church and tell my Protestant friends that long before the Protes- tant Reformation, long before Luther and Calvin, the people of Ireland were fighting for their freedom.
 'T deny that. Protestant countries have a monopoly of democracy. France is a Catholic country and Italy is a Catholic country. Germany is a Protestant country, and Germany gave us the greatest exemplification of tyr amy No it is not in Protestant countries alone that liberty thrfves. an a Protestant and will remain one until the day of my death, and l say if the Irish as Catholics believe in liberty, then give us more Catholics"

UNIVERSITY OF DENOMINATIONS
 ANOTHER COURSE
Co-operates With National Safety Council In New
 Medicinal Study.

The National Safety Council an- nounces an utilization with the Uni- versity of Cincinnati for the purpose of carrying out a program that is unique-almost radical-both to the fields of education and accident pre- vention and that opens a new and promising avenue for the service of the council.
 Briefly, this program includes the establishment of an industrial medi- cine division at the University of Gin cinnati where medical students and graduate physicians will be given special training not only in industrial medicine, but in industrial relations, including sanitation and all the fun damentals of safety work as we'll This school, which is already under way, is unusual in many respects, chief among which are the follow ing:
 The student physicians altern- ately spend part of their time in school and part in the field among the industries of Cincinnati, Dayton and other Ohio cities receiving actual experience in the work for which they are being prepared:
 2-The enterprise was conceived by and is being financed by the indus trial leaders of Cincinnati and the vicini f., who have guaranteed a fund of about $40,000 annually for five years.
 3. - In addition to the regular courses special courses will be given in such subjects as (a) the medical industrial and safety problems aris- ing from the coming of women in- dustry, (b) public health and Gel hospital management.
 1.-The facilities of the school in- cIude an industrial research 1abora- tory where physical conditions men acing the health of employees arising in industry will brought up for in vestigation and solution. How can dust be eliminated in a certai1. plant? Is this gas injurious? How can the lighting problem of a pecu- liarly arranged factory be solved 7 These and all similar problems aris. ing among the industries represented among the students and sponsors of the Department of Industrial Medi- | cine will be tackled at the industrial research laboratory.
 This plan being carried out joint ly by the College of Medicine of the University of Cincinnati and the Cin- cinnati Local Council of the National first attempt in America to train doc tors for industrial work, in the opinion of c. w. Price, general man ager of the National Safety Council, promises much for other cities.

THE SCOTTISH RBGAI1A.

There is a reliable rumor that +ha Bolsh evi4d have the crown jewels of Russia, the regalia of Russia---and know where these are secreted. They represent such eras of oppression of humanity, and such crimes that it is not to be wondered at that the infu- riated revo1utionists seized the Jewels that stood for autocracy in it's foot upon the under dog, not the enIight-z ened monarchy that would rule dem ocraticaIly.
 On this date, in 1877, the Scottish re- galia, which had been deposited in 17O7 in hugh oaken chest in the vaults of Edinburgh Castle, was ex-- amined by a deputation of eminent Scotsmen.
 The incident reminds one strikingly of the thrilling chapter in Monte Christo" by Dumas, in which the wronged Edmond Dantes---escanes3 from the dungeons of the Chateau D'If---followed out to the letter. the instructions of his dying ceN-mate, an aged Aibbe, concerning vast treasure concealed, and, alone, Dantes dug into the rock on the desoIate tsianLd of Monte Christo," his pickaxe discov- ering an opening into the cave lead ing into an inner recess where, under the granite floor, Dantes fssvovers the
 
 jewels.
 When the deputation of eminent Scotsmen came to examine into the whereabouts of the famous Scottish regalia worn by Scottish kings for centuries they found no lock, no en- trance on the doors supposed for more than a hundred years to lead to the treasures. The door had to be removed by workmen sworn to se- ar- md EJ 41,- the gentlemen stood gazing into the huge vault. they saw that the floor was covered with six inches of dust.
 In the dim light that came into the vault only through the opened door they saw the ancient chest. .
 But there were no keys to be found to open the huge coffer. It had to be forced open. And within? Within lay the regalia of Scotland, the Scot Sword of State. All exactly as they had been deposited Ill years befores this date. Along with these treasures. was found the Lord Treasurers Rod of Office. We will quote the words concerning this 'Regalia" in a very valuable and interesting book, Walks in Edinburgh by Chambers:
 Taking these articles (the regaIia) in connection with the great historical SNShIS Said 1'eA SoldSSS Ih1I SiAlSC AI1lO the composition of their present value it is impossible to look upon them without emotion of singular interest. For this diadem did Bruce Iberate his country; with this diadem his son nearly ruined his country.

At the morning service yesterday the United church, of which pr. Will liam Horace Day is pastor, received thirty-ffve new members into it's fel- lowship. The Holy Communion was celebrated The beautiful anthem, 70, Savior of the World,'' from the cantata, '"The Triumph of the Cross by Matthews, was rendered by the vested choir, and as a choir hymn, Beneath the Cross of Jesus.'' Dr. Day, the pastor, was assisted through out the service by Rev. Maurice J. Duncklee, his associate pastor in charge of Bethany Branch chapel.
 An impressive feature of the ser vice was the commissioning of the officers of the church, the society and the parish organizations. They were called in a body to the front Of the church. where they stood during the final reading of a Scripture passage and the offering of a prayer by the pastor for them and their work during the year 1920.
