Used Bar Wrapped i'm Paper.
Webster dubbed Mrs. Catherine
Galloway to death in the home Of her
daughter. Mrs. Dell c. Bassett of
Hampstead, January 3. He used an
iron bar wrapped In paper.
Webster testified he asked Mrs.
Galloway to refrain from slanderous
talk about him and his mother. and
to cease preventing his wife from ac-
companying him TO Miami. Then
Mrs. Galloway cursed him, and struck
him as he started TO see his baby, he
said.

Webster's wife testified her love for
him had turned to hate.

only things in life that meant any
thing. his wife and his child"

MILLIONS IN TOYS
 READY FOR SANTA
S25O,0O0,0O0 Worth Manuiac-
 tured This Year

Washington, Dec. 10 UP)-Santa Claus has been making toys for American boys and girls faster this year than ever before.
 Hc has made S250,Oo0.OO0 worth for the children Of this country since his visit to the United States homes last year.
 This is the department of com merco report based on retail trade estimates.
 Only one-twcntieth of the toys were made in Santa's foreign work shops, principally Germany, Japan. France, Czechoslovakia and Eng land. The rest were turned out by him in the United States. In fact he finished so many Of them here that he has been able already to send S2,24S,l39 worth to other lands more than he ever has before.
 Wheel goods, including express wagons, scooters, play cars. automo- piles, tri-cycles. velocipedes. car riages and carts, comprise about q fourth of American toy manufac- tUres, when value alone is consider ed. New models and new accessories are as important in toy automobiles as in larger machines. Dolls, doll parts and doll clothing form a fifth of all manufactures.

suit that general average of movements. or comprehensive chart. is impracdcable.
 The publication of financial news has increased with the market. When few other than professional traders were interested. there was little resort to popular appeal fin the financial pages Of the daily press. Except in time Of panic, q three-point fluctuation in prices was considered a sensation. Half point changes were religiously chronicled. The list Of quotations required only a column Of type and the market reviews frequently were limited to the statement: There was no feature in the stock market today"
 Today the large newspapers de- vote several pages to financial news and employ staff Of trained market observers. Half-point and three-point price changes are ig- nored, for 10 10 30 point fluctua- tions have become common. The list of securities has been ex- banded nearly to eight columns. The Associated Press, which once transmitted 10 few interested member newspapers, an abbrevia- ted stock list now places in their financial room within a half hour after the close of the market the complete list of stock, bond and curb quotations.
 Public participation in the mar ket first became extensive in 1917. when the so-called war babies" were in their glory and fortunes were won and lost in an orgy of speculation, but 1t was not until 1919 and thA Liberty Loan drives had drawn attention to the possi- bilities Of dealing in securities that the public actually flocked to the market,

Madison, Wis, Dec. 10. R}-Three millions young hardwood trees will be saved yearly if plans evolved by the first class of active loggers and rangers ever to attend d university course in timberland management are put into practice.
 The course was given by the University Of Wisconsin and in- cluded inspection trips into woods where new logging methods al ready are in operation.
 Studies revealed an urgent need for selective logging and timber conservation, and led to adoption of a resolution asking that the interstate commerce commission require railroads 10 equip cars de- signed for transportation of logs with mechanical devices so as to eliminate the use Of young timber for car stakes In the three states Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michi- gan six million car stakes are used each year in the transporta- tion of logs. This results in the destruction of about 3,00O,0 hardwood trees a year that are the most thrifty and the straightest young growing timber in the for estS.
 The class made it emphatic that ;, supply at such an carly stage not only Is wasteful and uneconomic, but directly opposed 10 sound con- servation practice.

New York. Dec. 10. R-An army Of small investors. which in 1919 be- gan an invasion of the stock mar ket, has wrought many a change and altered many an established trend in the trade in securities.
