Edmonds took his text from the words
of Elias who asked Elijah for "a double

The first point brought out was that

This year, however, they have taken

of earnings for the first 81 roads to re-

1884, SAT 600 in September and 1884,

net earnings for the month should total
approximately $7,130,0OO,O 900, which is
the largest amount shown since 1918.
November car loadings meanwhile are
falling off, which augurs we'll for a

One cannot walk into an engraving
establishment and procure distinctive
cards which bear your names at mo-
ment's notice. 1t takes time to sup
ply orders. They are not kept in stock.
SO it is necessary to order them in
advance.
Roberts and Sons can supply the
needs of patrons, but they would again
sound warning to their customers ad-
vising that all such orders be immedi-
ately placed with them.
Engraved cards carry n beautiful
Christmas sentiment as well as happy
New Years greeting. They take the
place of more costly presents and en-

friends at comparatively small outlay
and at a time when the family purse
has so many other demands upon 1t.

STEEL, BUYERS
ENTER MARKET
MORE READILY
General Industrial News
Of The Last Week Is
Encouraging
(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Nov. determination
Df the advance in the stock market, al
though at reduced rate, further ease
in gilt edge bonds, slightly firmer
money and steadiness in commodities
we're the principal characteristics of
the past financial week.
Although there vac tendency in
some quarters to feel that the stock
market might be in a fair way to over
discount the improvement in general
business, the industrial news of the
week was encouraging. The steel indus
try reported considerable increase in
buying activity. Orders recently placed,
for the most part, however, were for
early delivery. This was interpreted
to mean that the better demand for steel
at present reflects desire of consumers
to get under the wire before prices rise,
rather than any marked increase in
actual consumption.
Doubly Significant
From the producers standpoint. the
squirt in buying was doubly significant.
1t meant that in a season when demand
ordinarily fell off and the rate of mill
operations was reduced, isteel companies
were assured of fair volume of work
for the remainder of the year. More
important, perhaps, was the implied
recognition on the part of consumers
that steel prices for the first quarter at
least probably would be higher. The
long decline during the summer and fall
had brought selling prices to a point
which meant Improbable operations
for many companies, as was shown by
the third quarter earnings statements.
This stimulated the producers in their
efforts to get better price and the
greater confidence in business which
followed election has led consumers to
abandon ideas that they might get their
steels cheaper later on Steel mill OPP
erations, meanwhile, have increased from
around 65 per cent of capacity to 20
per cent during the past week.
Rail Situation Improves
The railroad situation was a further
encouraging factor in the business out
look. Confirmation Is now coming to
hand of the predictions that the rail
roads would show unusually good earn
ings for October, during which month
loadings of freight proceeded at rec
ord rate. Although gross revenues were
slightly lower than year ago, the bet
ter condition of the rolling stock and
trackage of the carriers bore fruit in an
increase in net perationg income.
No Car Shortage
Last year the roads still were UMPIRE
pared to handle heavy e traffic in the
most efficient manner. Consequently,
a larger proportion of their gross earn

Finger Prints By Telegraph,
Is Scotland Yard. Invention

LONDON, Nov. 80. - Scotland
Yard, brains of the British police or
ganization, has devised a. means of
telegraphing finger-prints, and in
quiries to and from all parts of the
world are being sent and answered
by cable.
A crook was picked up on sus-
picion in the west-end recently. He
spoke English without accent, and
not having his record, Scotland yard
men were unable to identify him.
q One day he used an American
slang word, and Scotland Yard tele-
graphed his finger prints to. police
headquarters at New York.
prints answer description of man
wanted here for robbery with vio-
lence," came back the answer. The
crook, prominent in New York's
underworld and much sought after
by the American police, was sent
back to the United States.
:, Superintendent Collins of Scotland
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-12-01

Yard invented the system of tele-
graphing the prints, after years of
study. There is a code letter and
number for every characteristic of
a finger print. A mistake is de-
clared to be impossible. Every ridge
and circle on a finger-print is de-
scribed in a message. - H.
Scotland Yard might want to iden-
tify man. They would send a mes
sage to New York, the first letter
indicating the general type of the
finger print; perhaps indexed as a
type. The rest of the message might
read:
ga CO CO Fl F13 G2 H4 30 J12
K3 LIS LILO p. D."
The New York police could tell in
five minutes whether they had on
file the finger prints of the man in
question; and if he were wanted
there he could be sent back on the
next liner.

Flyer Drops }, 400 Feet

 Last night be crawled out on the wing of his airplane, the motor of which had gone dead, jumped and pulled the rip cord of bis parachute, and started down through 3,40O feet of absolute blacKness,
 He landed without scratch. The story of the flight, and the jump, as told by MacReady today, sounded like the most imaginative of fiction.
 One of the strangest features came after he landed. His plane had fallen to the earth with crash and was i'm medately enveloped in flames. Crowds eongregated around it and stood in mortified anxiety, helpless to make a move to extricate the aviator who, they felt sure, was trapped in the flaming wreckage.
 MacReady suddenly walked into their midst. He had landed short distance away, and had seen the plane crash as he glidad through the air.
 MacReady was returning from a night airways flight from Columbus, when the. motor of hls plane, De Hav- Hand, stopped. After he determined his ship was dead" lie said his first thought was to land, if possible, where no lives would be endangered. So he headed for the outskirts of Dayton, finding his position by means of the city lights.
 Shortly the plane reached strange territory, with absolute darkness be- low.
 ''Then prepared to jump" he said.
