TN the year 1900 much of what is now Swift
zerland was ruled by tyrant named Cess
her, whose cruelties and autocratic acts made
him hated by all those who came under his in
ffuence. Unlike wiser rulers who did All they
could for the welfare of their subjects, Gessler
neglected opportunity to make life dis
agreeable and harsh for the unfortunate people
who lived under his laws
The Swiss people, who have always priced
their liberty finally resisted this cruel Gessler
and under the leadership of that great hero
William Ten, they finally threw on the yoke
that held them down and regained the riea1t to
rule themselves
Perhaps yon have heard the story OF how
william Tell was captured by this Gessler and
how TEN was forced to shoot from the head of
his own son an apple which had been placed
there by the tyrant. Gessler hoped that the
arrow would kin Tells son, hut as you know
the aim was true the apple was pierced in its
center and Tell received his freedom.

LEADERS SOUND
HOPEFUL NOTE .

Business Picking Up as
Leaders Predict Return
to Normal in Short Time

A hopeful note was sounded in
many business quarters this week.
and things began to look brighter
than they have during the entire
period of depression through
which the business Of the nation
has been wading for some time
past. 4
To be sure. business is not up
to par. but conditions are slowly
changing for the better and op-
timistic reports by financial lead
ers all over the country add to
the belief that the worst is past
and that from now on business
will rapidly climb back to its
normal status.
"A long period of ever cheap
ening money" is predicted by F. j.
Lisman, senior member of the
firm of F. j. Lisman and Co. in
the monthly issue OF LiSman'S
Digest. Lisman declares that,
barring another expensive and
destructive war, or some other
unforeseen disturbing factor,
money should remain cheap, with
the resultant stimulation to
trade.
An optimistic note was also
sounded by George B. Everitt,
president Of Montgomery Ward.
this week, in commenting on the
report of his company. Everitt
declared that it is his belief that
business Is due for healthy
period of stimulation. He ex-
pressed the opinion that there Is
plenty of money in the country,
but that people have been afraid
to buy because prices have seemed
too high. This view is also held
by several other leaders in buSi-
ness and financial circles.
Cheap money was also pre-
dicted by arthur j. Morris, presi-
dent of the Industrial Finance
Corp, and founder of the Morris
Plan, in an address yesterday be.
fore the Institute of Public Af-
fairs at the University Of Vir-
ginia. Morris also commented on
installment financing, which he
said had successfully weathered
the period of depression and be
come an integral part Of Amerf
can business and finance.
Several recent deals by large
corporations point to a pickup in
conditions. Among those which
may be mentioned are the pur-
chase by the Chesapeake Corpora
ton of over 100000 shares of
Chesapeake and Ohio stock.

The twenty-five most active
stocks on the New York Stock
Exchange in July registered the
smallest volume Of trading this
year, but showed a 5 per cent
rise in price, according to - new
monthly stock index established
by Standard American Corpora
tion, depositor corporation for
Standard American Trust Shares.
A study Of this index, it was
stated, indicates a technical
situation in the 1market which
warrants a forecast Of rising
stock prices during the next few
months.
This new index, based on the
performance Of the twenty-five
most active stocks Of the month,
also showed that industrial
stocks held market leadership dur
ing the month. There were seven
teen industrials and only eight
public utilities among the twenty
five most active stocks.
The total volume Of trading in
these stocks was reported at
23,160, 900 shares as against 3d.

month Of the year was April,
when on q rising market the

With the daily rate of output at
IS. .146 tons, Is per cent below the

furnace operations a long step
nearer the inevitable bottom"
which will precede the next up
turn in business, the Iron Age
will say tomorrow in its weekly
summary of the iron and steel
trade.

showed a net decline of 16, com
pared with 20 in June. Pro.
duction rate of IA stacks in
service on August at 83, ,64S
tons was lower than the. daily
overage for any months output
since October, 1924.
Although prevailing opinion is
that iron and steel business will
show at least "a seasonal gain
within the next month or two.
the current trend Of steel ingot
production Is slightly downward
with the average for the country
at large at 81 per cent. COM
pared with the 56 per cent rate
that prevailed in the four previ-
Gus weeks.
Cold-rolled strip steel has de-
clined to 2.35c. Pittsburgh and

BINGHAM RECALLS
 FINDS IN ANDES
Recent Dispatches Telling Of
 Treasure Revive Interest

Washington, Sept. 30 P)-Recent dispatches telling of the discovery in an Andes mountain fastness near Alausi, Ecuador, of the fabulous treasure of Atahualpa last of the Inca kings, recalled today to Ma tional Geographic society officials the one great Inca find which was explored to their scientific satisfaC tion.
 It was in 1911 that the inveterate globe -trotter, Hiram Bingham, then a Yale professor but now United States senator, found not great stores of gold and jewels, but made discoveries so amazing that science has since been slow to say anything is impossible in the Andes.
 Inaccessible Peak
 On a narrow ridge made impreg nable to enemy attack by sheer precipices, 2.OOO feet above the Urubamba river. 1000 feet above the sea, in one of the most inac- cessible parts of the Andes, Bing ham came arcoss the ancient Inca capital, Machu Picchu.
 He eXcavated and explored it's 200 edifices of white granite, including palaces, temples, shrines, baths, fountains and hundreds of stairways. When his expedition had finished its work. Bingham left this high-walled cloudland cradle of an ancient civilization somewhat as it looked 2,000 years ago-with the hope that the Peruvian government would keep it cleared of the huge trees that were tearing at it's well-wrought walls and roofs.
 For there Bingham had found the one opportunity 10 study an amaz- ing ancient civilization, free of gaps and punctures made by gold-avid 'adventurers. Altitude had protected Machu Picchu. antedating the gold and jewel age of the triumphant spread of the Incas through Ecua- dor, Peru and Bolivia, from Rizarro and four succeeding centuries of treasure spoilers.
 Scientists stress the great impor- tance of this opportunity as giving the one clear picture of the earliest hemisphere civilization.
 No Records Left
 Where ancient Egypt and Baby lon left decipherable tale, the In cas-, with a religious rule against ideographs, left no written records, nor i1ieroglyphics, few rock carv ings. Only in Machu Picchu, of all the Inca relics, could life of 2,000 years ago be reconstructed accurate ly.
 Of the findings of Atahualpa's treasure scientists here do not say it is impossible. They do say four centuries of treasure seekers have left little in the way of precious metals, and have put much in the way of scientific study The discov- l cry of a treasure-trove that would
