Seasonal Buying Drops

The seasonable lesssning in whole
sale purchases is indicated in this
weeks report of merchandising ac-
tivities by the Credit Clearing House.
For the country as a whole. buying
from manufacturers and whole salers
declined l.3 per cent compared to last
week, was FL per cent under last year
at this time and 6.2 per cent under
1919.
Indebtedness showed an increase OF
LIZ per cent over the previous week,
was Il per cent less than less year
and 90 per cent heavier than two years
age. Payment activity increased IL
per cent over last week, but was 81
per cent less than last year and 1928
per cent under that of two years ago.
"A notable fact" says the report, 'is
the marked change in the wheat grow
ing Northern agricultural section. from
a condition that was not favorable to
one that is in some ways very favor
able. Vigorous buying by the public
has begun and already it is possible
for merchants to reducs their indeht-
edness."

Advance Shoe Prices
ASs 0EhNC kJIlUCJ' i ICCA
Higher Leather Cost Reflected
in Spring Footwear

Kceent advances I'm tha leather mar
Ret are being reflected in shoe prices
tor spring. A leading manufacturer of
mems high grade shoes has advanced
hls prices as much as so cents q pair
on about twenty-five numbers In his
line that Is now being shown to re-
taiiers. "There was no alternative" he
said, "and although there is some op-
position to these price advances I
could not go ON selling the shoes at
the old price, and put into them the
same materials I have always used.
An advance Of 10 cents foot on pat
snt colt, for instance, means 40 cents
additional cost to me ON q pair of
shoes. In this particular instance I
have absorbed some Of the advance,
making the increased price of pair
of patent colt shoes but 25 cents"
Some shoe manufacturers, particu-
larly those turning out the cheaper
grades, are understood to be using
lower grade. leather and making other
suhstitutions in their shoes to prevent
price advances.

Solar Energy in Plants.

The estimate is made that the
amount Of solar energy stored In
plants each year IL % times $the
amount of energy represented by the
coal consumed In the same period.
About 81 per cent of this plant energy
is taken up by the forests; "a per
cent by cultivated plants; per cent
By grass of the steppes and praires.
and 2 per cent by the plants of desert
lands. The energy received by forests
alone is ii times the energy Of the
coal used But unfortunately the for
tsts that receive this energy are main
Iy in the tropics. In temperate re-
giOns we are depicting the forests
just as We are exhausting the coal
supply: further justifying the proph-
icy that centers Of manufacture. and
therefore presumably Of civilization
itself. will ultimately shift back to-
ward the equator.-Dr. Henry Smith
Williams, In Hearst's Magazine.

travelled up. 1t reached the top, and
rested there, fixed and steady. Framed
in the middle Of 1t, peering over the
edge, was a little hairless, brown face,
holding what looked like tube in its
mouth. Hugh had one glimpse OF
dark. skinny hand putting something
in the tube, and then he switched Off
the torch and ducked, just as another
fly pinged over his head and hit the
wall behind.
One thing. at any rate, was certain:
the other occupant Of the room was
human, and with that realization all
his nerve returned. There would be
time enough later on to find out how
he got there, and what those strange
pinging noises had been caused by.
Just at that moment only one thing
was on the program; and without
sound he crept round the bed toward
the cupboard, to put that one thing In
to effect in his usual direct manner.
Twice did he hear the little whis-
fling hiss from above, but nothing sang
past Ills Hcdu. LNiuChliS tAiC hit'h "e&"
lost him. and was probably still aim
ing at the door, And then. with hands
that barely touched it, he felt the out
lines of the cupboard.
1t was standing an inch or two from
the wall, and he slipped his fingers be-
hind the back on one side. He lis
tened for moment, but no movement
came from above then, half facing the
wall, he put one leg against 1t. There
was one quick, tremendous heave:
crash which sounded deafening: then
silence. And once again he switched
on his torch. -.
Lying on the floor by the window
was one of the smallest men he had
ever seen. He was native of sorts.
and Hugh turned him over with his
foot. He was quite unconscious. and
the bump on his head, where it had
hit the f1oOS, was rapidly swelling to
the size of large orange. In his
hand he still clutched the little tube.
and Hugh gingerly removed it. Placed
In position at one end was long
splinter Of wood, with a sharpened
point: and by the light Of his torch
Hugh saw that it was family dis
colored with some brown stain.
He was still examining it with in
terest. when q thunderOus knock came
