COMMUNICATED
For a Court or Small Claims

TUT NUlrt OI StuUu Nl&ln1S Editor Herald:-
 The court of small claims, gentle men and ladies, is an absolutely es- scntial institution in our community at the present time. Why don't we have it here? l suppose it would be prcsuming too much to ask that petty cases. which arc now catapuit- cd into the police courts should also be included in its Jurisdiction, but I have seen this court in action in TraNce. It is prompt. kind. but efficient, and I want you to stress special emphasis on that last word. As you may be very we'll aware, any merchant or manufacturer will, at the beginning Of his fiscal year. set Up a reserve for bad debtA account. This must come out of the profits of his concern.
 He must make a profit or 70 10 tho Town Home. 50 he has to sell a little higher to people who pay their bills promptly in order to keep out of it. It is not a pleasant place to live in.
 Yours truly,

Queen Mary Is Now
 Stricken in Illness

London. Jan. 12 R-Physicians attending King George had another royal patient 10 care for today Queen Mary.
 The queen was reported to be suf- fering from catarrh. in common with thousands Of her subjects. Shc did not take her usual drive yester- day. but her condition was under- stood not to be serious.
 The kings condition remained stationary. but without any indica- tons that anxiety had increased. The royal family expressed satisfac- ton that there had been no retro- Gression.
 The week now ending is tho eighth of the kings illness. and the main trouble had been the continu- ancc of weakness, which is taxing all the skill of the doctors and nurses.
 The cold weather which is prev- alent with bitter and penetrating winds added 10 the handicap. al- though all the resources of science were employed 10 counteract these unfaVorablc conditions.

Isn't It Just Delightful:

The news columns yesterday in- cluded the statement that the report of the charter revision committee had been filed at the office of the city clerk. The news story ended with the assertion: "The common council will be asked to approve these proposed changes. Failure 10 do so, however, will not be a bar 10 any citizen proposing the changes when the cities and boroughs committee of the legisla- ture meets. neither will it be assur- ance of favorable action by the gen. eral assembly,"
 After reading that paragraph our chest expanded with patriotic pride and we were glad to be citizens in this glorious commonwealth of sovereign states, glad to know that TO one ever made a muzzle big enough to silence the sweating tax payer who wanted to say his say.
 Then we were brought to earth by the realization that we were too old to listen to bedtime stories and fairy tales.
 Under the law any citizen inter- ested in a change in the charter has the privilege of going before the cities and boroughs committee of the legislature and speaking his mind. No doubt the gentlemen who comprise the committee will be courteous and make a painful at tempt to appear interested. And why not. when Vox Populi spends Carfare to take him to Hartford so that he, unit in this magnificent republic. honors the committee with his presence? Yes. the committee will hear his every word attentively and then inform him. with every atom of respect for his citizenship, that the matter which he has been discussing will he taken under ad- visement And that is probably the last he will ever hear of it.
 Then again. note the statement that neither will it be assurance of favorable action by the general as sembly" One hundred to one it VIII not. The cIty'S represe nta- tives in the general assembly often have their own little eggs to fry and the sizzling in the pan sometimes drowns out the tumult Of protest iron, the mere voters CT the con- mon council Special interests who don't know where they're going to get their next million are frequently served while the taxpayers arc Revising tho charter usualt, means adding to that document the | things half dozen men approve and keeping out Of ii the things which they disapprove.

Slecp, All. Blessed sleep Try (,ct It Early .''

In these days of sctErying madly about yonr' multitudfnous' business and social activities, with physical o>ertion and mental strainPassauIting you from all sides at every turn un- til nerves and muscles arc on the verge Of being shattered, tho prob- fem of relief-of temporary escape from the overpow eping whirl of mad lv accelerated life is a pressing one. How can one offset the fierce hustle Of work and play? Where can one be free from the pressing ot fever ish affairs? In what way cnn one rcc,lperate from the terrific strain?
 The answer, as all your friends will tell you, is to go to bed carly and get a lot of sleep. And that answer, we assure you, dear readers. is the bunk.
 If you llaNe tried it, you know it. If you haycn't---wcll, it will be somc- thing like this:
 You make an early break for bed tc catch up on your sleep. and you crawl under the covers With bliss ful feeling that you are al last re- ceiying the approval of St. Peter and are entering heaven. But you are due for a rude shock, for a door slams within 30 seconds after your head touches the pillow. The rest of he family is still up. You hear them moving about the other rooms. the preparations for the next morn- ing's breakfast, the running of water for a hot bath, the swishing about as the bath proceeds, and then the prolonged torture of the gurgling water as it is let out of the tub The other members are now coming 10 bed. and cupboard doors arc heard to open and close. while every member of the family has to run some more water for q final drink

You CAN DRIVE your Lincoln at normal speed
the very first day you own it. And back of this
fact is great deal more than the motoring
convenience which it Immediately suggests. For
this is your assurance that the Lincoln is made
with such precision-and with such attention
to every detail of its mechanism-that it is
perfectly functioning motor car from the
moment it leaves the factory.
Because of the way in which this automobile
is built, the Lincoln owner is spared the usual

The distinguished character of this auto.
mobile, its power and beauty, its safety and
comfort. are fully evident on the first day you
drive it-and enduringly so through all the
years of your ownership. For the Lincoln is,
in every sense of the word, as nearly perfect
motor car as it is possible to produce.
Lincoln cars can be bought for little $4,000,
ia. b. Detroit. This price includes full equipment

NATURAL GAS PIPE
CONSTRUCTION GAINS
Virginia and Maryland Activities
Noted in Report of New
Projects.

The phenomenal growth in natural
gas pipe line construction during 1929
has probably been one of the major
reasons for the crest activity Of leading
American steel companies, as reflected
in the price of their securities, accord
ing to Robert Hall Craig, president OF
Inland Utilities, Inc, which has extern
sive natural and manufactured gas,
water and refrigeration properties in
West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Maryland.
There will be approximately $4,000
miles Of natural gas steel pipe laid for
major projects this year." continued
Mr.. Craig. This will be more than
three times the 5000 miles laid during
1928 and nearly fifth Of all previous
lines laid up to the end of 1928. The
figure Of $4,000 miles is only for major
projects, while the smaller lines Of from
S to SO miles will swell the total several
thousand more. So rapid is the de-
velopment that the lines laid in 1880
will probably exceed those for this year.
Estimating the average diameter OF
pipe laid at 16 inches and the conStruc-
ton coast roughly as 81 900 per inch
mile, a conservative estimate Of eXpend-
iture this year will be approximately
$3.50, 100000. OF this total, at least
S9O,OOO,OO0 Will be spent Tor steer,
enough to bulk as one of the major
items in the production schedules Of
many Of our leading steel companies.
That this production is likely to in
crease is beyond question and should
reflect continued high earnings for the
steel companies. Already thousands
of gas lines are in project, running from
the 500-mile line Turner Valley. Saskat-
chewan, to Winnipeg, to the 1,000-mile
project from Northern Louisiana to Chi
cago."

BANKERS SECONDARY RESERVE
OFTEN USED AS CALL MONEY
Lending of Funds on Good Securities Is
One of Most Profitable Sources
of Income.

There has been more use for cash
than ever before as the national pros
perity has moved on at the new pace,
business heading under full power, re-
curing more money to keep the wheels
going. To furnish the Oil has called for
millions, and under the urge Of the con-
trollers of the currency many mergers
have been brought about. and we now
have banks with over billion dollars
deposits in our two largest cities and
many large banks in all our important
towns.
To keep the surplus working is de-
sirable and the call money market is
the safest and easiest available field.
Naturally the banks resent the action
Of the Reserve Board in criticizing their
loans, and SO far have paid small at
tention thereto, although some bankers,
as stated before, have ceased redis-
counting to loan.
Markets are more irregular, but ac-
tive, however, and traders are quicker
to make turns in a nervous market.
Pay Banks Commissions.
Most corporate officials refuse to take
the chances of approving the securities
offered as collateral for loans, but pay
the " of l per cent commission to the
bank for assurance of safety and guild
perience has made the brokers so care
full that they are rarely asked to make
substitutions.
Bankers in cities outside Of New
York wire orders to lend on call $780,
600 or any amount desired. They get
wire of execution and by the first mail
a letter confirming the wire and list
of the securities held to secure the loan.
This list they paste on dummy note
collateral form, which, when filed,
makes the record Of the trade.
The next day the loan may be called
or renewed.

BROKERS PREPARE
FOR HEAVY TRADE
Various Houses Increase Fa.
ciIlties to Meet Expand
ing Business.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 3I.-Ieading
Wall Street brokerage houses, convinced
That big markets are here to stay and
tnat there are several more years of
prosperity In sight, are planning further
expansion.
TWO houses already have arranged
Tor brokerage service on five of the
largest transatlantic liners and others
nave similar plans under consideration.
The heavy tourist travel to Europe
THIS year has resulted in the opening
OF several branch offices in the water
planned for next year.
Scores Of houses have established
new uptown and out-of-town branches,
and others are seeking quarters in the
rapidly growing business sections of the
large American cities.
Many Stockholders.
Statisticians estimate that more than
1900, 900 Americans, or nearly one in
each family, are now stockholders of
the country's leading industrial, rail-
road and public utility corporations.
This compares with less than 100000
before the war. The number of stock
holders is steadily increasing.
Installation and operation of the new
high-speed tickers by the New York
Stock Exchange, which is expected to
be completed next year, is counted on
to stimulate trading in American
security markets. The New York Curb
Exchange, the Chicago Stock Exchange
and most of the other large security
markets also have planned extensive
expansion projects.
Negotiations now are pending for
the installation of direct ticker SER
vice to Havana. Cuba is attracting
more tourists from the United States
each year.
SeasOnable Offices.
. Seasonable brokerage Offices have
been opened and have proved sue
cessful in most of the leading vaca-
ton spots in America. Wall Streets
large operators, with millions at stake,
demand prompt service on markets,
even when on holiday trips and bro
kerage houses are being hard pressed to
provide the proper facilities.
So many large operators have pur-
chased high-powered motor boats and
yachts in the last two years that Wall
Street believes before long some short
wave service may be provided so that
the boats will be able to keep IN touch
with the stock markets.

LIME AND CLOVER SPUR
TENNESSEEAN'S CROPS
By the Associated Press.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 81
Generous lime treatments of land and
subsequent planting to sweet clover,
says r. Messler, Dickson County, Tenn,
farmer, often will convert non-paying
acreage into the heavy production class.
MeSsier bought a WORKOUT farm in
1924 and with the help Of T. H. Rich
ardson, county agent, set about improv-
ing it.
Lining 10 acres with three tons of
lime per acre and 800 pounds of acid
phosphate he seeded five Of them with
sweet clover. The following crop they
were planted to rye and vetch, and ir
1928 Messier planted them in tobacco
which yielded him a gross of 1904 40
Before this treatment the land would
not produce IL bushels of corn per
acre.
Following the system evolved by ex-
pertinent with his first 10 acres Messier
now has some so acres seeded in clovers
and grasses. His yield in corn last
year was so bushels per acre, and he
has created the outstanding farm Of
his community both in looks and pro-
ductiveneSs.
