Dave Turner Travelled nara II late,
and he reached Simon's door just be
fore shutdown of the second day.
Bruce was still a full two hours dis
tant. But Dave did not stay to knock.
1t was chore-time, and he thought he
would find Simon in his barn, super
vising the feeding and care Of the
live stock. He had guessed right, and
the two men had Il moments talk in
the dusky passage behind the stalls.

Simon made no answer ut first. The
saddle pony in the stall Immediately
In front of them, frightened ut Dawes

bling, against his manger. Simon's
red eyes watched him; then he ut
tered q short oath. He took two
strides into the stall and seized the
halter rope in his huge, muscular
hand. Three times he jerked 1t with
a peculiar, quartering pull, "A curbing

horse recoiled, plunging and terrified,
into the opposite corner of the stall.
Simon leaped with SCATTERING power
at the creatures shoulders, his huge
arms encircled its neck, his shoulders
heaved, and he half-threw it to the
floor. Then, as 1t staggered to rise,
his heavy fist failed against its neck.
Again and again he struck, and in the
half-darkneSs of the stable ii was a
dreadful thing to behold. The mans
fury, always quickly aroused, was
upon him; his brawny form moved
with the agility OF a panther. Even
Dave, whose shallow eyes were usually
wont to feast on cruelty, viewed the
scene with some alarm. 1t wasn't that
he was moved by the agony Of the
horse. But he did remember that
horses cost money, and Simon seemed
determined to kill the animal before
his passion was spent.

Good Lord, man, don't you know

FLYWHEEL DISCS
 CUT RESISTANCE
Also Reduce Danger of Fire ana o' Accidents to Factory
 Workers

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Saving ot money, time and fire risk has been accomplished by an invention an nounced by Colonel George Fabyan Chicago inventor. It is device tc kill dust and save power in fac tories.
 Colonel Fabyan's early scientific discoveries include deadening for walls of apartment and office build ings, a unique process for photo graphing and measuring sound, and interesting revelations concerning the Bacon Shakespeare manuscripts.
 His latest invention consists ot two disc, which are attached to the sides of pulley wheels. The inven- tor claims it will reduce the required pulling power from one-sixth to one fifteenth per cent.
 In demonstration of the invention a sensitive tachometer registered 50 ounces and the number of revolu- tions a minute as 1850. With stop watch it took 22 seconds to stop the wheel, without the discs. When the invention was attached the same performance was repeated and the tachometer registered two and one half ounces created by 1,725 revolu- tions per minute and stopped in 12 seconds.
 '"These two discs will do lot for factories where this saving of pow CT would run into large sums each year. I have estimated that the yearly saving on one wheel would be $1," said Colonel Fabyan.
 In addition to the monetary sav- ing, the inventor claims the discs will do away with accidents, since a man can't get his hands caught in the flywheels. Possibility of fire is removed by keeping dust off the wheels, thus lowering fire risks:

down, by say B per cent, #e should have a surplus in hand if the Bbf1ar Law scheme were realized, whHe France would have a net surplus of say 12 milliard gold marks.
 This is not enough to pay for the restoration of the devastated areas. It is generally realized that the British Government was prepared in Paris to make some concessions on the ori- forward as the first stage in a bar gain. But if we are to obtain agree ment Great Britain must be prepared to admit-and I think opinion in this country would certainly accept the view-that the restoration of the dev- astated areas should be a first charge on whatever is receivable on repara- tions account This condition would do more than anything else to make an agreement acceptable in France.
 But how could we be certain that Germany would carry out such all agreement even if accepted as part of a plan which satisfied Frances de- mand for security? For we cannot pretend that any nation would enjoy taxing itself to pay such large sums as would be involved in any settle ment
 Germanys lnducement
 Tho answer is that Germany would have every inducement to honor the agreement for the following reasons:
 1. A default on a settlement which was accepted as reasonable in Amer ica and neutral countries would be very different from default on a schedule of payment that everyone recognizes is quite impracticable, and such a default would shatter German credit
 2. To carry out the agreement would be the only way by which Ger many could prevent renewed currency depreciation. It is true that at some stages of this process certain people may enrich themselves, but large classes suffer acutely, and when the proceeds beyond certain point the temporary stimulus is sue ceeded by paralysis. Even the indus trial leaders of Germany before the present crisis had become fearful of the effects of continued imitation.
 8. There would be the greatest pos sibIe inducement for Germany to re- cover the political liberty of the Rhineland.
 5. Finally, until the indemnity was entirely converted into private debt to individuals the economic sanctions of the treaty would apply, though 1t would be better still to substitute for these the forms of economic pressure which are provided in the covenant of the League of Nations.
 The discussion of plans such as these may seem today entirely aca- demic and Utopian. But the night seems darkest just before dawn, and turn of the wheel may at any moment bring them suddenly into the forefront of practical politics.
