DEBATE RELICS

!. AREDESTR0YED
Permanent Records OF Days
Gone by Discarded by U. s.
Printing Office.

Permanent records Of the debates
In the Senate and House in the stir
ring days before the civil war
$4,000 plates used In printing the
old Congressional Globe-have been
destroyed at the government print
ing office to make way for more
recent records.
Twelve Of the plates containing
statements TO the House and Senate
by Henry Clay, stephen "A. Douglas
and others have been saved and will
be placed on exhibition In the mu.
scum of the printing office.
The Congressional Globe was
printed by invidual shops from 1888
10 1876. It was published first
weekly, but later became q daily.
The contract for the work was held
by several men and there was con-
slant pickering over the Job until
the Government began to publish the
record.
In those days a stenographic re-
port of the proceedings In the two
Houses Of Congress was not made
as at present. but the Congressional
reporters wrote down a. much as
they could in long hand and filled
in with what they construed the
member to say. .-
One Of the plates showed some
remarks on the slavery question by
Senator Lyman Trumbull, Of Illinois.
He suggested that the negroes be
sent to another part Of the world.
where they could establish their
own country, declaring both races
could not get along peacefully II the
negro was freed from slavery. He
predicted the time would come when
such q country would be organized.

lished Fessenden's speech on the
question OF communication between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Great Britain must be prevented
from obtaining control Of this i'm.

Fessenden said.
Proofs OF the plates show that In
1853 public land for use Of actual

Division of the American Railway AS
ISOLATION. Of the 521,746 cars idle on
the later date 353,239 were surplus
freight cars in good repair, while the
remaining 168,507 were in need of re-
pairs in excess of the normal number
unfit for service.
The total number of surplus freight
cars was decrease of 1929, com
pared with the total on April 30. Sur
plus coal cars amounted to 226,276, a
decrease Of 1901. Of the 2,274,24O

believe the radio field will be as large
as az the other important industries. and for
this reason would like to ACQUIRE shares
o. going company now, salt them away
and some day reap hsrvest-E J. B.
Answer-Many companies, some new
and some old, have undo rtaken the
manufacture of radio apparatus of one
KIND or another. Undoubtedly with
the use of the wireless expanding
rapidly there is a possibility of over
production and the obsolescence of
parts now widely used. That is the
hazard manufacturers must face. The
Dnplller condenser and Radio Com
pahy was formed recently to take over
the Dublller Condenser Company, the
Federal Mica Company and the Cam
bridge manufacturing Company, all
controlled by William Dubilier, in
ventor of the radio condenser which
bears his name. The comnanv viii
manufacture those condensers and
later undertake the manufacture of all
kinds of accessories used in the oper-
alton of wireless stations, it is said.
The company will have 100000 of 8
per cent preferred stock of 500 par
value and 10000 shares Of no par value
common stock. Until record of earn
ings under the new arrangement has
been established the common stock
must be regarded as speculative.
