The relic is magnetic instrument

STEEL MERGER
FINANCING

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Finsnc.
ing in connection with the pro.
posed merger Of Mid.Western
steel companies which will estab-
llSh Republic Steel Company as
the third largest unit in the in.
dustry, will be announced after
the terms of the merger have
been officially disclosed to the
stockholders of the various enter.
priseS, it was reported here to-
day.
The stockholders will in all like.
hhood be informed within a day
or so OF the proposed terms under
which they will be asked to de
post their stocks in approval of
the merger.
Directors Of the four companies.
Republic Iron and Steel Company.
Central Alloy Steel Company.
Donner Steel Company and
Bourne Fuller Company, have al
ready ratified the proposed con-
solidation.
Otis and Company, which has
been allied with various com
panies as their bankers. will prob
ably head the banking syndicate
underwriting the new financing.
The leading spirit in the merger
has been Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland
capitalist and partner in Otis e.
Co. The merger was arranged by
Eaton in the belief that a gigantic
new combination in the trade
would result not alone in substan.
t1al economies, but also aid in sta
blllzing the entire industry.
1t is believed that the ultimate
plans OF Eaton and his associates
contemplate the inclusion of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com
pany, and perhaps the Inland
Steel Company, in both of which
the Eaton interests have stock
holdings.
1t is likely that stockholders of
the four companies involved in the
consolidation will be given the first
opportunity 10 participate in the
new financing and that public fl
nancing will be made only after
such an offering TO stockholders

SUIT IN. STOCK
SALE WON BY
.DOHERTY

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Henry L.
Doherty & Co. won an important
victory here when Justice Wen.
Gel dismissed a suit brought by
augusta Levy, who sued under an
mstalment contract for the pur.
chase of Cities Service stock.
When she made the contract
70 purchase the stock August 20,
1929, the price was SOFA. She de.
1aulted a payment due November
l. and sought to recover on the
basis of the stocks price on Oc-
tober Is, which was 6724.
She relied on this clause in
the contract:
This contract becomes auto
matieally Cancelled If payments
due on the first Of each month
are not made before the first
or the following month; and in
such event, the company will
refund the amount Heretofore
paid, plus or less, the amount
Of the difference between the
contract price and the market
bid price Of the fifteenth Of
the month preceding"
Judge Wendell held that the
default did not become operative
until the month Of grace expired,
which was December l, and held
that since the market bid price
OF the stock on November IS was
28, Doherty & Co, owed nothing
to Mrs. Levy. He wrote:
ITO hold that the default
took place on November l and
that the market bid. price Of
October Is should govern, would
enforce a contract that per.
mitted plaintiff to speculate
upon the rise or fall of the
stock purchased.
This would place the de-
fendant at the disadvantage Of
being charged with the bid price
Of six weeks prior and make
him the victim Of an unfOr-
tunate market fluctuatiOn Of
that longer period"

San Diego, Cal. July 25.-You can't keep a. good. girl down!
 And Ruth Alexander, 25 year old San Diego aviatrix who has been up higher than any other man or woman ever ascended in a light plane, is the proof of that state ment He's is a world record, al- though she fainted as her oxygen supply failed when five miles up and fell two miles before regaining con- sciousness.
 But this new queen of the air isn't satisfied. SAe plans as her next feat a border-to-border nonstop flight across the United States from Agua Caliente, Mexico. to Vancouver. Brit ish Columbia. The course will be flown in two dawn-to- dusk flights. The distance is about 1,40O miles It will be the first round-trip for the course and she will be the first wom- an to fly either way.
 "Grt'-Thats Her
 The plucky5 girl pilots own story is even more interesting than that of her exploits, She spells grit with a capital "G" and determination with capital "D."
 Back in Kansas, doctors sentenced her to slow death from tuberculo- sis They told her she couldn't live. She laughed at them-and came to California. She had grown up ih her fathers machine shop: while other girls were playing with dolls she was tinkering with an old engine.
 Arriving tere, she decided to be- cine an aviatrix Broke and with out friends, she found jobs as beauty shop worker by day and a soda fountain attendant by night. She worked 16 hours a day and earn ed enough money to pay for her fly ing course.
 Luck came her way when Gen. eral and Mrs. NJ. o, Terry, wealthy residents of Coronado, admiring the girls pluck, gave her a plane. It was in this ship that she esta blished the new altitude record by going up 26, 500 feet.

Gramophone Record 'Tous
 Knell Of Parting Day"

Stoke Poges, Eng, July 25 P- A gramophone record now broad casts chimes over the .churchyard where the poet Gray heard the curfew toll the knell of parting day"
 Before the evening service an electrically operated gramophone is placed in the belfry and instead ot the bells of Stoke Poges church the countryside hears the chimes of York Minister, St. Margaret's, Westminster, and Big Ben"
 Later the loud speakers in the belfry are disconnected and the gramophone plays within the church records oS organ music and excellent choirs.
 If this new idea gains support the tiniest churches in the land will be able to hear world-famous choirs and organists at their ser vices.
 The ancient yew tree in the Stoke Poses churchyard under which Gray is said to have sat when lie composed the first draft of his immortal elegy, still stands opposite the church door. The old t,ee has been patched in the mid de with cement. and it's branches are held up with splints and sup ports of wire.
 But it is Hive, and the foliage 's now green.
