Artificial .sSun'' Makes Hoy

In England, where damp and foggy
weather, common during certain sea-
sons, makes good hay crop rare, a
new device has been patented which
dries hay by means of artificial heat.
The hay is stacked while it is green
and then is dried in 25-ton stacks
This invention is expected to save
many acres of crops that are lost
every year because of rainy weather
at the critical period. Popular Science

NEW HAMPSHIRE QUAKE
 WAS NOT REGISTERED
Neither Harvard Nor Georgetown Instruments Record 1rcmors
 Reported.

Cambridge, Mass. March 10. - Examination of the Harvard seis- mograph today revealed no record of earthquake shocks reported to have been felt in southern New Hampshire last night. The move- ment must have been very slight according to Professor Kirtley F. Mather. of the Harvard depart ment of geology, and was probably due 10 melting of the frost on the rarths surface. Any movement be- low the surface would undoubtedly have registered at Harvard, he said. There could be no connection, the professor between the move ment reported last night and the recent quake that shook New Eng land.
 Reports last night from Goff's Falls, N. II, said that buildings were shaken by a series Of slight earth movements.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Mixed
movements in prices Of oil and
Industrial stocks prevailed in the

in their response to the more favor
able developments in the oil in
dustry, including the evidence of
falling off in crude oil production
in Workman and higher prices for
crude oil and refined petroleum.
Prairie Oil and Gas lost 314 points
to 227; but Prairie Pipe Line was
up 3k at III; Ohio Oil up III at
691s; Humble Oil, Magnolia and
Standard of Indiana were, fraction
ally higher.
Bonds were steady, with Amer
lean Power and Light IS selling
at 94A and Dunlap Is at 104.
