ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The Riddle Lady was just as glad
to see the Twins as the Fairy Qucen
had been.
Aud the Twins were just as glad
as she was about it. Such dear,
funny place Riddle Town was-with
its question mark chimneys and its
dear, funny people!
In order to sharpen their wits and
make them the smartest people in
Fairyland, once a day the Riddle
Lady asked them riddle. But late
~ it seemed that nobody could guess
a single thing!

Japan Welcomes Autos

TOKYO-Japan's great earthquake
OF last fall has proven a boon to the
automobile industry. Before the
catastrophe, there were few motor
vehicles in the empire. Duties and
taxes made this usage almost pro-
hibitive. Urgent demands for trans
portation, when the relief workers
began their labors of mercy, taught
the government It's folly Now the
automo bile is playing big part in
Japan's reconstruction. Trucks are
admitted free, and pleasure cars for
half the old duties.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. H. The
loves of Harry I. Katz, wealthy mu-
sician and society favorite, were be
ing sifted today as detectives sought
the murderer who shot katZ to
death at the door of his luxurious
apartments early last night.
One of the women with whom the
clubman is believed to be friendly
was found this morning. She was
traced by notes she wrote to him,
discovered in the slain man 8 apart

an actress, who referred to herself in
her daintily penned missives as
"that bad woman ROsita.'
At least one other woman is be-
lieved to have been on intimate terms
with Katz and she was being trac-
ed today"
The clubman was slain, however,
by man, 4 "short heavy set man, -

apartments on South Vermont ave-

He tried to gasp something and

was too swift and before he could
speak, he died.
Within half an hour squad of de

Robbery was not the motive for

WALL STREET is
SWAMPED WITH
MUCH BUSINESS
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Railway
stocks jumped to the fore as heavy
buying continued on the stock ex-
change today. Wabash "A'' went
to a new high on the wave of pros
perity reaching so IA.
Louisville and Nashville reached
103 and Southern Pacific 102.
The rise in Southern Pacific was
attributed in part to reports that
the stock will go on 81 dividend
basis at Thursday S meeting.
Coppers and oils were in demand
and Maryland oil shares reached a
new high on the present upward
movement at 80 IA. KennecGtt
copper also went to Il new high at
1913 1.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Broker-
age houses worked late into the
night and still were swamped with
orders as the stock exchange open
ed for the sixth business day of the
greatest post election business boom
since the war.
The physical machinery of Wall
Street was taxed to its utmost to
handle the flood of orders which
rolled in from all sections of the ma
ton. Turnover of securities aggre-
gated 2,226,220 shares and trading
on the curb exchange WAS proportion
ately great.
A record high for trading in sep
arate issues was established when
526 separate stocks were dealt in,
compared to 5l7 on the previous
high day, December 27, 1928.
The entire nation appeared to
have opened its money bags for an
expression of speculative confidence
in the return of President Coolidge
to.power.
Grain markets showed a healthy
trend, with December wheat up two
cents and may up 27s cents bushel.
Forign exchanges also were car
ried along on the rising tide, sterling
going up "a to high of 4.62 1916,
while francs, lire, and guilders trail
ed along with substantial gains.
Wall Street literally was on a
night shift with clerks sorting and
tabulating orders almost around the
clock.
Business houses expected the bull
market to continue indefinitely as
yesterday gains were made in the
face of heavy profit taking by those
whose started the day after election
and were willing to retire with mod
est profits.
Trading in rails continued n fea
ture of the market, carrier stocks re-
acting with continued favorableness
to the removal of what business con
sidered possibility Of unfavorable
rail legislation.
