Paper-Clip Mouse Trap

There is no wiser or shrewder ami
NAL in the world than the rat and the
mouse is almost as clever. These ami
mails soon learn to recognize trap
by sight or odor and will walk around
1t. The traps are now made in cam
outlaged form. The trap for the
mouse that runs through your desk
and chews your papers has spring
that resembles paper clip. An old
tin can with smashed top is another
of these devices. When the mouse un-
dertakes to explore the interior OF
this one he soon finds that the lid
has closed behind him and escape is
impossible.

Many BLACK Fridays"
in Financial Circles

BLACK Friday does not refer to
particular date as often supposed. but
is the name given to several Fridays
on which financial panics have oc-
Cured. Apparently the term was first
applied to the Friday in December,
l745, when the news was received In
London that Charles Edward Stuart.
the Young Pretender, had reached
Derby, only ten days march from the
capital A financial panic resulted
Immediately. BLACK Friday" was
probably suggested by analogy with
Black Monday, an old name for the
Monday following Easter. The term
BLACK Friday" was revived in Eng
land for May II, 1866, when a panic
followed the failure of the London
firm of Overend Quincy & Co. In the
United States the term is applied to
September "a, 1869. when a panic oc-
Cured as the result of Jay G0uld's
efforts to corner the gold market In
New York, and to September 10, 1873,
when a panic followed the failure OF
the banking firm of Jay Cook & Co..

Historic Cathedral Bells

In the fourth story of the north

in 1910, from the tenor of which the
Angelus rings out each evening. Four

among the great rivers of North
America. 1t is formed In southern
Utah by the confluence of the Green
and the Grand rivers. II enters Arr

flows southwark to the Gulf of Cali
fornia. II drains an area Of 3a0.0O9
square miles Only at three points
is ii crossed by railroad
The Spaniards were the first white
men to view the great wonder of na-
ture. Spanish explorers first report
ed seeing II as early as la40 and In
1776 Spanish priest found a cross

Facts About Sponges

Sponges are very irregular in form,
symmetrical ones being rare, and
their color is as variable as their
shape. Deep-sea sponges, like other
animals that live In the dark. are gem
orally light in color; but those that
live in shallow water are very bright,
and the color assumed by the sponge
is generally for purposes of defense.

ST T0.CKS CARRY
To NEW HIGH
LEVELS

NEW YORK, July II QN.SJ.
Stocks were carried to new high
levels on the current phase Of
the recovery drive, in the first
half of today's session. Trading
was on a broaden scale, indicating
the return Of the general outside
public on a more or less limited
scale, with most of the activity
centered on the old line specula-
tive leaders.
U. S. Steel reached 1919 for a
gain Of more than a point. West
inghouse stepped up ia points
to 141A; American Can up 1A
to 124A; and Vanadium up al
most 2 points at 87A.
The widely heralded move In
Radio failed to materialize, but
Radio Keith bounded up to 321a
for an advance Of 2b points on
particularly heavy turnover. Al
lied Chemical, Case Threshing,
Eastman Kodak, and Worthing-
ton Pump also were sharply
higher.
Standard Oil Of New Jersey
featured a more buoyant oil list.
Aggressive activity continued to
bring higher prices to Electric
Power and Light, National Power,
Standard Gas, and American and
Foreign Power.
Rails and motors ruled firm.
CopperS turned irregular.
Cotton showed rallying tenden-
cies after initial weakness, while
wheat held steady.

Bonds Improve

A steady Improvement in the
bond market in the last few
weeks furnishes some cheer.
Cheap money and an improving
bond market are always the fore
runners of business and stock
market advances. Cheap money
is a fact. The improvement to
date in the bond market, how
ever, has been small.
New bond offerings this week
totaled $146,710000, compared to
$93,8l1,OO in the holiday short
ened preceding week and $91,-
$4,000 in the corresponding 1929
week, Banks have been buyers on
a moderate scale. The yields on
bonds are way in excess OF the
current money rates. Individual
investor buying, while better, has
not been much of a factor III
the market, the mainstay OF
which has been institutional pur-
chaSeS.
Highlights of News
The oil industry, just when
everything looked bright, finds
itself engaged in another gaso-
line price war. The battle, how
ever, is confined to the Pacific
Coast, where right in the midst
of the best season for gasoline
motorists are filling their tanks
with 8-cent-a-gallon fuel. This
price includes the Scent State
tax.
investment trusts have been
timidly pushing forward their re-
ports, and for the most part a
big Shrinkage in assets is dis
closed. Brokers' loans for the
fifth consecutive week took a
drop. u. S. Steel Corporations
backlog of orders dipped 9l,163
tons, bringing the untitled ton
mage for the third time in 18
months below 1000 tons. Value
of all stocks listed on the New
York Stock Exchange declined
