TERRORISM RACES
: AROUND BELFAST

BELFAST, May 22.-The. killing
today of w. J. Twadell, a member

summing such proportions that Pre-
mieI' Sir James Craig and his cab

to discuss measures for dealing with
the renewed outbreak OF secular
strife.
AT least half a dozen persons have
met death at the hands of, murder,
ous gangs within the last twenty.
four hours. and dozens have been
wounded.
These outrages have not been con.
fined to the Immediate vicinity OF
Belfast, but owing to the promiscu.

destroyed and several trains hello
up by armed bands.
Pc. Among the latest reports this aft

officer and his wife, struck a tree
that was blocking the road near the
BaIykinlar camp. The woman was
killed and the officer himself later
was found unconscious

these armed raiders have laid trail
of fire from County Down through

attacking police barracks, ambush
ing special constables, BURNING
houses of loya1ists, destroying rail
way lines and cutting wire com
munjcations. A wild weekend OF
outrages was feared in Belfast to-
day.
Within the city of Belfast the

Business Men Should Cheer i p"
Says Babson

'Tall about musicians and actors
being temperamental! They cannot
beat the average business man who
is up today and down tomorrow.
Within a period of sixty days he
will be a pessimist, an optimist, and
back again to a peSSimlSt, when all
the time nature is slowly but sure
ly following it's natural course" said
Roger w. Babson, in his weekly in
tervieW on business conditions.
"a year ago business men were
very pessimistic; then came a tenn
porary upturn in business and fol
lowing the lead of certain federal
officials and prosperity boomers, they
became optimistic. Since, however,
these prosperity forecasts have not
matured, they are again down in the
dumps. How long will it take us
to learn that presidents don't make
business, but rather business makes
presidents. 1t is true that conditions
are dull at the present time partly
on account of the late wet spring,
partly due to the floods of the south,
partly deu to the strikes in New
England and New York state, and
partly due to the strikes in New
in Europe. When. however, business
is looked upon from long range
it, will be seen that it is passing
through only a natural, readjust-
ment, which takes always consider
able time. I stated over two years
ago that no permanent Improvement
could be expected before August,
1922. and I still feel that way. Even
after the corner turns in the summer
or fall Of this year, it will be slow
although a steady climb upward.
"On the other hand, as all indus
tries were not hit at the same time,
they will tend to come back at diff
ferent times. The industry that was
first hit will be the first to como
back. This was the silk industry
and a change for the better is al
ready in evidence, The industry
which was most suppressed during
the war will show the greatest re-
coVery during the next few years
indeed, it is already recovering. l
have in mind the building industry
There is a marked increase in the
demand for all building materials,
notably lumber, although iron and
steel are sharing in the building
boom. The sales of hardware and
paints have increased. If labor does
not become too hungry for increased
wages, this squirt in new building
may develop into a real boom.
another industry which should
quickly show better employment is
the automobile industry, especially
the makers of the more expensive

"Will you advise me as to the
number of the three coils should
use to tune in for concerts on $50
meters? I am using two DL-35 and
one DL-5O."-G. D. H, Cordele, Ga.
Answer. The size OF the coils
depends on the length of the aerial.
Usually, however, the primary coil
should be a DL-25, the secondary
DL-35 and the ticker may be either
35 or so.
"I have three-wire aerial twen-
ty-five feet above the roof of q
building covered with sheet iron.
Will this have any affect on the
aerial? I have the three wires sol
dered to a one-inch metal pipe as
shown in the inclosed diagram.
Please advise me il this is the best
arrangement. IL. D., Rutiedge.
Ga. .'
Answer. The metal roof will not
affect the reception of signals, but
will interfere with transmission if
you have a sending station. The
connection of aerial to iron pipes as
described is not as good as could be
desired, but will work satisfactorily
if the copper wire is soldered care
fully at each connection.

Sr., receiver, and while I hear local
stations distinctly, I shall appre'
ciate you advising me whether l
could hear long distance stations if
1 add a two-step amplifier? What
would then be the approximate re-
ceiving range of this set?"-R. B.
G., Marietta, Ga.
Answer. Yes, a tWo-staSe ampli-
fier would greatly improve the re-
ceiving capacity of your set, enab-
ling you to hear over a radius Of
1 1000 miles under the most favor
able conditions. The receiving ra'
dius of a set depends largely upon
atmospheric conditions.
please tell me if the inclosed
piece of wire is too large for max
ing q loose coupler. What size is
it?''-F. Med, Madison, Ga.
Answer. The sample of wire you
inclosed is size No. IS. 1t is rather
large for the loose coupler, but will
do if you wind it correctly. A
smaller size is preferable.
'Is a telephone lightning arresteE
as safe as a ground switch? Is No

Cotton Market Opinions

Hirsch, Lilienthal & Co.: We doubt if
the decline is carried much farther and
would buy new crop options.
Hayden Stone& Co.: With a continue ton
of fair weather believe it will be diff
cult to sustain the present level of values.
Moss & Ferguson: We would not climb
for cotton; we favor purchases all good
setbacks.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: We expect it to
work higher
S. NJ. Weld & Co.: We continue to be-
1ieve that purchases any material re-
cessons will show profit.
S. b. Chaplin & Co.: Sentiment as a
general rule continues bullish for the long
pull.
Swarthout & CO.. Advise purchases at
present levels and on every 5O-point de-
cline.
Shand, Higson s: Co. (Liverpool): The
cotton market looks in a sound position.
A. J. Buston & Co. Uiverpool): Tie
pressure to sell actual cotton is much less
pronounced and stocks are no longer bur-
densome.
Logan & Bryan: We believe that recess
sions from around current levels present
good buying possibilities.
Thomson & McKinnon: We would be pre-
pared to take advantage of substantial set
backs to resume the purchase of the new
crop months.
j. S. BacheS Co: Until May is finally
liGuidated we have no very decided opinion
on The market.

Mother Witnesses
Death of Her Son
In Train Accident

ATHENS, Ga, May 20.-While
their mother looked on, J. c. Fow-
Ter, nine years old, was killed, and
his twelve-year- brother, Arthur,
was critically injured, when they at
tempted to run across the tracks in
front of a Seaboard passenger train
at Fowler's Junction, near here Fri
day night. The latter is in a local
hospital, and has a chance for re-
covery.
The boys had been walking with
their mother, Mrs. Woods Fowler,
and Lola, her small granddaughter.
When they came to the railroad
tracks, the two boys crossed the
side track at the junction, where a
freight train was waiting, and stood
between the sidetrack and the main
line. A moment later they heard
darted across the main track in
front Of it. The train crashed into
them, throwing both backward into
the standing freight train.
The body of the smaller boy
bounced back from the freight cars
and struck the moving passenger
train a second time before it fell in
mangled heap in front of the
screaming mother. Arthur, the old
er boy, was picked up from the Gin
der path q moment later.
When the crews from the freight
and passenger trains reached the
scene, the mother was holding the
mangled body of her dead son in
her arms. They rendered first aid
to the injured child, and rushed him
to q hospital.
+ The passenger train was Seaboard
Nc. 80, which left Athens station at
6:15 for Monroe. 1t was in charge
of Conductor H. T. Williams and
Engineer II. B. Wilson, both of
Whom were absolved of all blame in
connection with the accident. The
freight train was No. Sc.

cars. These makers were the first
to be hit, and these should be the
first to come back. Following bOOmS
in the stock market the makers Of
expensive cars and other semi-luX-
urieS always experience good bust
ness. For the first time in two
years and a half, rubber factories at
Akron are advertising for help. This
same improvement in the employ
ment situation is noticeable also in
certain steel centers, such as Youngs-
town, Ohio, and hardware centers
such as Ansonia, Conn.,, where
wage increase Of is per cent goes
into effect May 16.
Commodity prices are likewise
adjusting themselves naturally.
Those products which were first TO
decline, such as cotton, sugar and
lumber, are showing hardening
tendency, while other products, such
as furs, that were bought by the
masses during the war in great
declines.
At the recent fur auction, Silver
fox fur was 25 per cent lower than
in February, Marten 40 per cent
lower, and other furs are falling
in proportion. Better still, the cost
! of living as a whole is still on the
decline. A man can purchase for 70
cents today what cost him a dol
l lar year ago. Retail sales are hold
ing up very WELL the mail order
houses are showing increases, west
ern shoe manufacturers are busy,
and furniture factories are work
ing on a liberal schedule. Even coal
production is holding up fairly we'll
"AIl of this means that there IS
| no reason why the banker, manu-
| facturer, or merchant should be
pessimist or an optimlst today.
Neither the prosperity boomers nor
the calamity howlers should be fol
lowed. Business has not yet turned
the corner, but it is naturally and
steadily approaching the corner. No
nation could go through the great
industrial development which this
country experienced during the war
without a natural reaction. This
reaction we are passing through
today. We have already reached the
end of the decline in the security
markets. These markets are we'll
on their way upward. Within few
months, concluded Mr.. Babson. 1--WE
should reach the end of the decline
| in general business. Honesty,
service will hasten the day."
as reflected in the index of the
Babson chart shows an improve
ment of per cent during the last
week. General business now stands
at 13 per cent below normal.

! CHICAGO, May 22.-Wheat hesitated dur
! ing the first hour of the session today, but
| after that there was little hesitation about
| the course of prices, the movement being
mainly downward. Locs'E attempted to sup
! port the market early basing their expec-
| tations in higher prices on the prospective
| big decrease in the visible supply but the
| load put on the market Saturday was not
| thoroughly digested and after the first hour
! there was further heavy selling mostly in
| the way of liquidation. May led the de-
cline and disturbed the equanimity of the
! longs in the deferred futures and they were
led to market their wheat. 1t was gen
orally believed that the big longs in May
wheat were firing of carrying their load
and that it was some of their wheat that
rived from Toledo yesterday carrying 80,
600 bushels No. red wheat and this
was unloaded last night. Primary receipts
were nearly 100000 bushels. Cables were
lower, the Increase of 1858, 900 bushels in
supplies on passage being a factor Wealth
err conditions were fayorable for the crop
and beneficial rains fell over eastern Ne
braska. Some complaint of wind damage
in Kansas was forward. Milling and eX-
port demand for wheat is slow.
The wheat market had a good recovery
during teh last half hour as result of an
Oversold pit condition. May wheat closed
at S1.53h and 1A to 212c lower. Late
months were unchanged to &c higher:
July, $1.239s to q; September, $1.19%
to p.
Corn also suffered material losses. The
action of wheat led to much liquida ton
and the buying power not near big
enough to digest the offerings. The crop
situation is improving and planting is max
ing progress. Higher temperatures would
be of considerable benefit in parts. The
movement of corn is of good volume but
the shipping demand is below expectations.
Corn closed 4 TO &c lower; May, 611s !;
July, Ga to CAS-; September, 6G3s.
Oats exhibited much weakness. Selling
by Armour was a factor early and later
there was pressure from discouraged longs
and on stop loss orders. Cash oats basis
was u to &c lower.
Oats closed y to &c lower. May, 3G1s !;
