Dealings again were active and un-
usually diversified. approximating l.

fell far below the record for almost
two years made on the previous day.
Lacking more convincing or obvious
reasons, observers ascribed the DAYS
almost continuous reversal to techni-
cal conditions as represented by an
over-extended position of the very
large bull account.
In other quarters, there was a dis
position to associate the setback with
the growth OF the coal strike, bonus
legislation and latest European devel-
opments. notably the Russo German
treaty. Foundation for the latter be-
lief rested on the unsettled tone of the
foreign exchange market at this CEN

had featured the recent advance.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, August q
Through years of decadence, Jane,
Margaret and Charles Mellon, all
middle aged. occupied the old Mel
Ion home here. once a social CEN

by neighbors. Their chief inter-
est in life apparently was CEN
tered in their pets.
Yesterday smoke issuing from
upper windows summoned firemen
and policemen to the darkened old
house. The fire was trivial, but in
examining the house firemen found
nine dead dogs enshrouded in old
laces and shawls. Eight living
dogs were found. Enthroned on a
couch was white silky-haired
dog which seemed blinded from
long confinement in the dark
The occupants of the residence
had inherited the house and other
property from their parents and
seemed to have converted the place
into a domicile for dogs. After
the fire the MELONS were taken to

of the American Psychological So

til yesterday afternoon.
Every effort was made by DR..
Marston to throw budding off his
tions similar to the following:
isn't it a fact you carried that
gun to get your uncle at the first
opportunity?'
what makes you believe that you
were not justly convicted?"
DR.. budding maintained throughout
the two-and- -one- half-hour grilling
that he killed mis- uncle in self-de-
fense.
Had DR.. budding at any time told
lie. DIR. Marston explained, the in
dicator on the lie-detecting machine
would have jumped from so to 80
points.

The meter is the unit of length in

tries of the world, with the exception
of the British empire and the United

with the rest of the metric system OF
which 1t is part. The meter Is 1881

while the foot is arbitrary. The me-
ter is the ten-millionth part of some

is of degree of longitude. 1t is,
accordingly, based on an invariable
distance and can be checked at any

Time was when sailors would not
think of sailing without charm or
pocketpiece of some kind to ward off
bad luck. Wind beads were a favor
lite and in nearly every port were
Inaidens to sell them. Tattoos were
considered essential for bon voyage,
especially the butterfly on the Shout
der predominated for good luck. A
pig tattooed on the foot was assur-
ance the man would never drown.
Sailors used to say not a man is known
to have drowned If he possessed this
significant charm against fate.
