CHAINED ID TREE, DIES 0UTIN WOODS
Body of H. Il, McHanry, Yale
 Grad, Found by Hunters

Philadelphia, Oct, 2i,--The body of Henry Handy McHenry, member of wel-known Ardmore family, strangely missing since August 1, was found chained 10 a tree in the thickest part of Green Mountain, seven miles from Wiliamsport, yes- terday.
 A heavy iron chain, fifteen feet long, had been wrapped around the tree and then locked by a loop around McHenry's neck.
 McHenry had sufficient lceway to walk and crawl in a small circle around the tree in his queer prison. The ground in the circle was beaten with the mans footsteps,
 McHenry, from all appearances Gead for two months, had appar- cntly succumbed to starvation. A graduate of Yale and former teacher at West Chester Normal school. he disappeared while visit ing friends in this city.
 Shellshocked in War
 When serving with the naval re- serves in the World War he was shell-shocked and had lspt been in good health since. He lived with his parents, MT. and Mrs. E. H. Me- Henry, at 129 Argyle road, Ardmorc.
 Hunters, in finding their way through the thick 2 woods, came across the body. McHenry was dressed in a light summer suit, brown shoes, silk hose and cap.
 State troopers, city and county of- ficers of Williamsport and Lycoming county, immediately started a joint investigation to solve Lycoming county's most mystifying homicide in years.
 McHenry was identified by cards and correspondence in his coat pock- cts. Among the documents were

ing the disturbance and confusion created by the abadonment of the Pittsburgh plus system, so called, the net cash results, during the last quarter have been somewhat less in proportion than would be indicated by the decrease in tonnage alone.
 This undoubtedly wilt be shown by the accounts of the steel eorpor' alton when they are made up; and unfortunately it Is more pronounced as to some of the independent man. ufacturers, AS to the corporation, 1t is believed the profits for the last quarter were substantial notwith- standing the adverse influences ad- verted to-"
 Reviewing the Pittsburgh plus case, which led to the abandonment of this price basing practice. Mir, Gary cautioned the manufacturers against appealing to the courts for remedy before they had given the matter patient and paInstaktng thought.
 In outlining the history of the Pittsburgh plus plan, he stated that in the early days because of the proximity of ore and fuel supplies, iron and steel manufacturing and consuming enterprises sprang up in the central coast states, with Phila- delphia as the center. Later steel manufacturing operations were cen tered in Pittsburgh, which became the base.
 Had 1t not been for the Pittsburgh plus plan, no steel mills would have been erected in Chicago, MT. Gary explained, becaues the return on the capital investment would not have justified it. A change in production methods later enabled Chicago to compete with Pittsburgh, bringing the cost of production to about the same level in each city, and leading to objections that middle western communities were discriminated against because they were forced to pay freight rates from Pittsburgh on steel shipped from Chicago.
 Actually, he asserted, competition among Chicago manufacturers has been so great on account of their ex- banding capacity, that they have paid little or no attention whatever to the question of freight rates from Pittsburgh to western points.
 MT. Gary expressed the belief that the entire iron and steel industry, within a reasonable time, would vol untarily be operating on a basis con- formally to the opinion dendered by the federal trade commission in abolishing the Pittsburgh plus method,
 If We arc patient and reason- able" he said, i've shall find, though perhaps with some additional work and cost, the industry, taken as 8 whole and including both producers and consumers, will not suffer ma- terially by reason of the elimination of the Pittsburgh plus system

BUSINESS DEPENDS
 ON ELECTlON..GAR
U.S' Steel Corp. Head Discusses
 Effect Of Voting

New York. Oct. 9i.--Busincss conditions in this country during the next year and during the next four years depend largely upon the result of the election on November 1, E. Il. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation. de- clared in his presidential address to the American Iron and Steel insti- ute today.
 Every well informed business man or woman" Mr. Gary told the steel manufacturers, 'tknows that if the best men are elected they prob ably will be continued and increas- ing prosperity, and that if others less capable and less worthy are se- leeted we may expect depression and disturbances in business, less production, more ideness, less com- fort, more distress-a decided inter- ruption to legitimate progress that will not be easily nor soon over come"
 MT. Gary said he was convinced the public had been right during the last few months in believing the election returns would be satisfac- tory, as shown by the steady and persistent increase in the volume of business With such a result, he added, the country could look for ward through the autumn and suc- ceeding months with hope and con- fdence.
 Our ship of state is toe great, too fine, too solid, substantial and strong" he declared, Ito be pro- nounced unseaworthy on the words of interruptions, unintelligent or in- experienced men, and then turned over to board of underwriters.
 Outlining qualifications which he believed a president of the United States should possess, MT. Gary said "he should be willing to lend his in- fluence and devote his talents to le- gitimate business progress and gen. eral prosperity, and likewise to pre- vent and penalize corruption and wrong. He should endeavor to assist and to protect the poor, the weak and the suffering, and, at the same time should be willing to help the rich, the strong and the happy when 1t is indisputably right to do so"
 Business throughout the United States has shown a persistent, though somewhat irregular growth since last May, with the volume cx- banding each succeeding month, said the steel nagnato.
 The subsidiary companies of the corporation, which possess some thing less than one-half the capacity of all manufacturers in the United States, sold about 2,000 tons per day more Of steel in June than in May; about 5000 more tons per day in July than in June; about 10000 tons per day more in August than in July; about 6,QO0 tons per day more in September than in August, and about 5000 tons per day more in the first seventeen days of October than in the first seventeen days in September. The shipments for the same period, on the average, exceed cd sales because of the accumulated thrilled ordersFon the books which were placed prior to May.
 Partly due to spirited competition in selling and partly to other causes, including increased costs of produc-. ton while various works were in less than full operation, and also includ-

CUTS COST OF HOME LIGHTS
Electric Illumination Expense Is Re.
duced owing to invention Of New
Lamps.

Recent reductions in the prices
charged the public for incandescent
electric lamps have disclosed that an
electrically lighted home can now OBJ
tain a thousand candle hours Of H.
Elimination for pretty close to 10 cents.
It Is also brought out that in the
thirty years from 1890 to 1920, the
cost Of lighting the average home oy
electricity dropped from SO cents per
thousand candle hours to IL cents.
This was due in large measure to
succession of inventions and discOv
cries, the outcome of patient labora-
tory research, each Of which contrib
uted to an increase in the efficiency
OF the Incandescent lamp and thereby
a reduction In the cost of Illumination
obtained
There has not been a year In the
span Of three decades mentioned that
costs did not drop noticeably, except
since 1919. During the last seven
years, the reduction has been but
fraction OF cent each year. Mean
while the quality of light furnished
has increased almost beyond compar-
ison, as those who recall the old-fash-
toned carbon f1lament lamps, In which
bamboo was used at first, will appre-
ciate.
Three different styles of lamps were
popular during this thirty-year period.
The old style of sixteen candlepower
carbon lamp was the most In favor
from 1890 to 1905. In that year tie
Gem lamp was introduced, and the 30
watt type Of that kind of lamp was
the most used. Then the Mazda tung-
stem lamps arrived. These were the
result of DR.. W. D. Coolidge's discov-
cry in the research laboratory Of the
General Electric company, of method
OF drawing tungsten into flexible wire,
SO that 1t could be used for lamp fla
ments in vacuum bulbs. From 1903
to the present time the 40-watt MAJ
da lamp has been the most popular for
general household lighting.
Few persons could afford to illuml,
nate their homes brilliantly today II
electric lights had not been improved
and their initial cost, as well as the
cost Of current consumed, made COM
Daratively low.

his parents named Jay Bruce.
Hornitos boasted 142 inhabitants,
