PROFIT TAKING IS NOTED AT CLOSE

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-(By Asso- eaated Press.)-Constructive forces , were at work in today's active stock maskst prices in all sections of the , ltst rising steadily until just before { the close when the top quotatons :. in many instances were shaded by . wave of profit taking. Brokers re- vorted that buying was influenced by the growing speculative belief < that tax reduction bill would be
 passed by Congress this year. Tho demand for high grade dividend pay ing issues was construed as an in dication of q good reinvestment de- : mand.
 : Many stocks, including American Can. United States Cast Iron Pipe and Congoleum sold higher than } they had ever sold before, while number of others reached their highest prices in years. American Can touched 1o9as and then eased to ' 1oSh, where it was up 11s on the E day. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe touched 3ox and closed l point below that for . net gain of 3a and Congoleum crossed 67 and then slid back to 54A, where 1t was up 2A above Satur- days final figures.
 t Considerable interest centered in United States Steel common on the announcement that the annual sub scription offer to employees would be made at par. Last year the stock was offered at 1o7 a share and 41,950 employees subscribed to 100.730 shares. Today the stock touched 100h, the highest price since last {. May, and closed at par for net gain of E.. Strength of Steel com mon brought fresh buying into the independent issues, Republic closing more than point higher.
 Marked strength also developed fn number of the railroad shares de- spite the decision of the United States supreme court upholdYng the | constitutionality of the recapture Southern railway crossed 42, the highest quotation since 1906, ac-- emulation of this issue being based to some extent on speculation expec- tation of the inauguration of divi- dend this spring. Favorable dividend action also was reported to have in- fluenced the buying of St. Louis Southwestern common, which reached its highest level since 1920. Other | strong spots in the railroad group l were "Nickle Plate" Canadian Pa cific and Colorado and Southern.
 Nash Motors sold more than points above Saturdays close, ap- p2rentIy Tn antlclpatloH or tne eAlrd dividend of s1.50 announced after the market closed.
 There were a few heavy spots. | Marland dropped more than points on the withdrawal of the proposed sale of treasury stock. Pan Ameri- can issues also were heavy. General Electric dropped more than ? points on profit taking and Corn Products and Tobacco Products yielded to l
 
 Money rates were easier. Call l funds opened at "A and dropped to Az. Time money and commercial | paper were off "A to 4 basis.
 Foreign exchange rates held | strong. Sterling held fairly steady around s4.291a and French francs around 4.90. Reports of French gov ernment control measures are said to have influenced short covering of commitments abroad.

FIRST IDEA OF "TELEGRAPHY"
Greeks and Romans Conceived Idea Of
Communication by Method Of
Understood Signs.

In olden days the Greeks and Ro-
mans practiced telegraphy with the
help of pots filled with straw and
twigs saturated In oil, which, being
placed in rows expressed certain let
tiers according to the order In which
they were lighted.
A German general named Aeneas,
who lived In Aristotle's time, invented
q novel system of telegraphy.
Two earthen vessels were Allied with
water. Each was provided with top
that would discharge an equal quantity
Of water In a given time, 80 that the
whole or any part of the contents
would take exactly the same time to
escape from either vessel.
On the surface Of each floated q
piece Of cork, supporting an upright
marked of into divisions, each OF
which had certain sentence inscribed
upon 1t.
This system of communication was
Intended for use In the army. One yes
sci was placed at each station. and
when anyone wanted to send mes
sage he lighted torch. Soon the man
In charge at the other station did the
same, to show that he was all atten-
ton.
The sender then extinguished his
torch, and each party Immediately
opened the cock of his vessel. When
the sender reuEhted his torch. the
cock was closed.
The receiver then read the sentence
on the division of the upright that was
level with the mouth Of the vessel, and
II everything had been executed with
promptness 1t conveyed the necessary
information.

,Twa. Said, but Not Meant.


The cashier In q restaurant In Vir
ginia avenue was attempting to re
celve payments from customers anc
pay the driver of a pie wagon stimuli
taneously early one morning. The
driver took advantage Of the situa
ton and started to Josh" her. In a
spirit of jollity she received his re
marks with an appropriate retort.
At length she could stand his re
marks no longer.
"I'll kill somebody In minute. and
that somebody will be a pie man
that's you," she said.
At the same time she turned to a
man who had just paid the amount OF
his meal check.
"was there something else for you,
pleaseT she asked.
The stranger made no reply, but
slipped a card across the glass top
of the cigar case to her. The card
read something like this:
"John Doe, Undertaken" Then he
walked out.
II suppose he thought he had a pros
pect in sight after what I said to the
pie man." tha girl said.-Detroit Free

MoADoo HAS OPPOSITION

One presidential candidacy which
had all smooth sailing short time
ago is now beset with adverse tides
and clustering gales-as Is custom
airy with presidential booms which
sail beautifully so long In advance of
the convention. It is obvious that
the supporters of VIM. G. McAdoo
are deeply alarmed by the candidacy
Of Jas. M. Cox, who so successfully
led his party to defeat four years
ago. OF course the occasion OF this
alarm is not Cox's ability but the
|deep-seated fear that, advocating the
League Of Nations again, Cox will
receive the unqualified endorsement
Of woodrow Wilson whose recent ut
terances clearly indicate that he has
in no wise profited by experience nor
progressed in view. Moreover, the
Ralstron boom in Indiana Is look
ing up and out in Nebraska, Chas. N.
Bryan, brother of the ex-peerless
one, is Manipulating few delegates
for his own boomlet. Nor can the
Underwood boom be ignored by the
McAdoo-ites. Senator Underwood Is
recognized as an able statesman and
an honest man, and one who APP
peals strongly to the entire better
elements of the Democratic party,
despite the fact that he halls from
so far south.

May Be New kIonGke.

Rich deposits Of gold hava been
discovered on the Stab Bay river,
Labrador, Newfoundland, which may
develop into a new Klondike. A party
Of Canadians made q prospecting
cruise on the Labrador and then filed
application at the department Of agri-
culture and mines for ~ square
miles along the banks Of the Stag
Bay river, where, It is said, they have
discovered gold in paying guam tiles
In the sands of the stream. The river
extends about 40 miles inland from
the coast. and Is in the area from
which nugget samples OF gold were
brought some few years ago by M
tives Of the coast. Exploration par
ties from st. Johns later covered the
area inland prospecting over solid
surface, but not along the river.
Their quest produced merely meager
samples Of quarts ore, but not IN such
quantities as to justify extensive "a

MYTHICAL SCANDAL" IN
AMERICAN FALLS CONTRACT

AMERICAN FALLS CONTRACT
| Boise.-In relation to the action
of Congressman Champion in hold
ong up the appropriation for con-
struction work at American Falls
said Guy Flenner, Of the Idaho
Reclamation association. 1.-The sus-
picion is rather unavoidable that,
while the voice Is the voice OF
Champion, the hand may be the hand
of A. P. Davis former head of the
reclamation service, whose dismissal
by Sec'y. Work has aroused person
al antagonism Of Mr.. Davis and his
supporters to practically everything
Secretary Work has done on reclaim
alton, and more especially to the
great American Falls project be-
cause an Idaho man, D. w. Davis
was named as A. P. Davis successor.
The hand of Fred T. Dubois Is also
seen. Mr.. Dubois Is in the employ
of vgroup of Fort Hall Indians and
asks more money than the appraised
price for bottom, wild hay, land need
ed for the reservoir. Any inspection
of that property would lead any I'M
biased mind to conclude that the
appraised price was all the farmers
of the Snake river valley could con-
sistently be called upon to pay for
that property.
About the Contract
Congressman Champion, in his
recent speech undertook to reveal
scandal in connection with the
contract between the government and
the American Falls reservoir dis
trict, the latter signed by r. e.
of Jerome. president of
the district board. He calls at
tention to the fact that the districts
money is not to be put up until the
bottom lands have been acquired.
To Protect Farmers
That provision was insisted on by
the district representatives as a pro-
lection to the farmers who had voted
to put very large sums. Without
these bottom lands the reservoir can
not be built and it was not known
until very late that the secretary had
no authority to dispose Of them with
out congressional action Meantime
under this contract, the farmers are
protected from payment of fixed
bond charges.
A Mythical Scandal,
Congressman Champion, In his
hallucination, sees here a scandal |
and vociferates that Mr.. Shepherd |
could deposit the bond money with |
the government at so interest pend
ng requirement of the bottom lands
process that might require years.
Of course, the bonds have not been
sold, and il Mr.. Shepherd, or the
district, had the cash he or 1t would /.
hardly make such deposit with the
prevailing interets rate in Idaho
20.
Calls 1t Absurd
The whole statement of the con-
FRESHMAN is absurd. Mr. Shepherds
equation protects him. where he
known as against the congress-
nan accusation. 1t is a shame such
implied accusations can be circulat-
d elsewhere from such a source.
This contract is so framed as
o protect the farmers, and in that
aspect is Sc mewhat at variance with
ONE former reclamation contracts.
The hope will be general in Ida
o, and should be throughout the
ntire arid and semi-arid America.
hat real friends Of reclamation in /
ongress will present the facts and
Ight to finish for this necessary
observation of the waste waters of
lie mighty Snake river"

OUR YESTERDAYS ARE GONE

me unKlnd remarks we made Of
those we know only by sight are
recorded in some ones memory. L
only we had said the good things
how much better it would be fol
US at the judgment, as we'll as fol
those who are to take pattern Of
our lives. How glorious it is tc
know that God is judge, for if man
were to judge US. we would stand a
poor chance to be rewarded for the
few good things we have done. OH
if only the unkind thoughts had
never been spoken. If we could keep
in memory this good and true poem.
Don't be in too much of hurry,
To credit what other folks say,
1t takes but slight little furry,
To GLOW fallen leaves far away,
The tongue is an unruly member,
Full OF deadly and poisonous bane,
It's babbles sears worse than an
ember,
BY hundreds your number it's
slain.
Chorus:
Don't be in too much of a hurry,
To credit the news Of the day,
For a deal of life's fret and it's
worry,
Is perfaced by two words,
"They say.
Would we harp On the sins which
wore certain,
Lurk down In our own hearts I'M
seen,
Bring them forth to the world
without curtain
Not trying the slightest to screen.
Or give ourselves just the same
measure,
OF charity which we've bestowed,
Wouldn't tattling be less of a
pleasure.
And living be less Of load?
Chorus:
I would take, my dear friends,
how much longer,
II we would speak well, and not
Ill,
While the soul would grow nobier
and stronger,
It's Makers design to fulfil.
Or, what if your neighbor has
fallen,
A trifle from what he once was,
Consider it isn't your calling,
To go about picking up flaws. !
Chorus:
Don't take the defensive by saying,
I've told only just what is true,
TITS a game at which more might
be playing.
If the truth were all told about
you.
We've plenty at home for in
spection,
A deal more than some will adj
nit;
Our own lives have not been per-
lection,
How far they have come short of
1t.
Chorus:
We but journey this way once
forever, f,
What's done once is done for aye; 5
Then why not, with earnest en- s
deavor,
Leave a record Of beauty I pray. !,
With no word of i'll will toward :
brother, {
No action we'd like to dis-own;
For IL we cannot love one another, I
Why not silently let them alone? !

CHAPTER Xiv
Mary Is Afraid

II never thought of such a thing"
said Mary. 81 told you before that
cannot bear staying with strange
people"
Did you feel like that when you
came here?"
"No, Of course mott At least"
She tried to take back the eager,
emphatic denial. but realized that it
was too late. You were different"
she added helplessly. you and Miss
Varney."
Thank you," said David softly.
Mary bit her lip. She had tried so
hard not to remember that this was
the last time she would ever drive
like this with David; she had tried to
forget that this was the last chapter
of her stolen happiness, but some
ting in his voice, in his manner,
brought 1t home to her with suffocat-
ing force
She loved him. She loved his
voice, his laugh, his grave eyes; she
loved everything about him; and yet
yet she had wilfully deceived him.
wilfully lied to him.
If she only dared to tell him! In
aching imagination she could see
herself turning to him, her herself
speaking the sobbing confession; hut
in reality she sat there, her hands
