of businesses producing consump- ton goods, such as shoes and tex tiles has continued, and in many plants full production, or near 1t, is the order of the day. The rela- tive quiet of the heavier industries, such as iron and steel, is likewise noteworthy on the other side of the account. It is interesting to observe that, fin former periods of depression, recovery of the con- sumption industries almost invari- ably preceded and introduced quickened activity in the basic lines of manufacture. Apparently matters are shaping themselves entirely in accordance with, prece- dent and indications thus point to steady normal growth in the au- tumn toward renewed state of activity all along the line.
 The present prospects of the market point to continued quiet pending the closing of thesummer holiday season. Favorable results at London will be likely to give an impetus to buying, and postpone ment of constructive measures will tend to prolong present con- ditions. Revival may be expected in good volume when autumn &C., tivity begins to show itself in bus- mess, and it's extent will be largely determined by practical conclu- sions in connection with railroad rates, the farm question, and other domestic issues. Meantime, in- vestors are showing tendency to accumulation in quiet way, many persons realizing what has been so often insisted upon in these ad- vices,-that good securities may now be purchased with less risk than for a good while past-par- ticularly for the 'Iong pull"

 Of this number. IA were mar ried, 28 were widowed, and one was divorced. Single men num- bered 133, a little less than half the total. Only one was separated from his wife.
 But there is a brighter picture outside the death house, where even the little metal clasps that bind magazines are removed from their reading matter lest they cheat the law.
 Here, in the main prison, fully ing the opportunity to repair the which they entered prison.
 More than 800 of them attended the prison school, getting the rudi- mentary elements of an education reading, writing, arithmetic during PA schools days last year. And 52 determined characters, fired with ambition, applied for and obtained permission to take advanced correspondence school courses.
 The average prisoner cares 1it- tie about fiction, and least of all about blood-and-thunder novels, mystery stories. or detective tales, according to parsons, Instead, he asks for books on engineering, shop practice, technical work, and information that will help him to learn 8 trade. For many of them, this "stretch" provides the first opportunity they have ever had to do anything but provide them selves a hazardous, insecure and poor living through crime. Given regularity of work, their food and clothing, and a few hours a day in which time hangs heavy, and their natural recourse is to books.
 In general, with the prison sad ly overcrowded, with a lack of laundry facilities and sanitation equipment, and with the state pro- viding food for 2,200--and a popu- lation of nearly 2,600-Sing Sing officials are worried.
 "If crime continues to increase and judges continue to sentence in proportion to the crime" they say, i've will be faced with a crisis'.
 A "crisis' may be riot, though the word is seldom mentioned in official circles. ~

HOlstein Heifer
 Dead But May Save Owners Life

Bridgeport, Conn, July 25-(UP) Bessie. HOlstein heifer, has sac rlficed her life for her owner, charged with murder.
 Bessie's owner, James Cuseo, claimed he shot and killed James Restaino, after Restaino had fired first at him and missed. Since the heifer was found to have been wounded, authorities believed this was the first bullet fired and but chcred the animal.
 If the bullet is definitely iden- tified as from Restainos gun, charges of first degree murder against Cueso may be dropped, au- thorities indicated.

Midsummer Dullness
 Is Affecting Market
Foreign Situation Added to That Means Low Prices
 Quiet Trading Expected

Wall Street, New York, July 25 -Midsummer dullness and the ab- sence of many usually active trad- CTS would, in any case, make the present month a period of com parative inactivity. When to this natural quiet is added the foreign with it's many incalcula- ble elements. and the indisposition of traders, which grows out of their lack of information on what is transpiring abroad, to commit the fact that the mar ket has at times been lower in vol- ume of transactions than at any date for five years past is ex- plained. There has been no mate-' rial change in the business outlook and such as there has been is largely overshadowed by the ur- gent events that are taking place in foreign capitals. Still, even in spite of seasonal inactivity, prog ress is to be decidedly noted. The improvement in the development

WHITE RUSSIANS TEACH REFUCES
 POLICE WORK

Paris. (UP)-A school to train Russian refuges in police work has been started in Paris. Although the White Russians, busted from their country by the Soviets, may never have anything to police, a number of their leaders are de- termined that they shall be pre- pared to assume control of their country if the occasion arises.
 The school, which already num- bers about 300 men, will grant diplomas after the manner of the detective schools that advertise in magazines of the United States. The school is sponsored by an or- ganization with the considerable name of "The Direction General of the Association of Former Functionaries of the Urban and Rural Communities of the Russian Empire and Abroad" The name, when pronounced in Russian, would cause any criminal to halt and throw up his hands.
 To Aid White Russians
 The actual purpose of the or- ganization is to create, within the laws of any country, an organiza- tion capable of looking after the interests of White Russians in connection with the activities of the secret police of the Soviets. Such events as the Kidnapping and probable murder of General Koutepoff, a White Russian leader, has made his political adherents apprehensive for the safety of other leaders.
 The founders of the school have made 1t plain, however. that the school is not to engage in any offensive or illegal activities in strange countries.
 The greater number of students in the school are either former officers in the Russian imperial or Russian lawyers.
 Two Types Preferred
 Preference has been given to both classes in view of their pre- stunned previous training and abil- ity. Colonel Mikhail Felkichine, former underprefect of Odessa and head of the police of Riga, is in charge of the school.
 Police organization, as demon- strated in France, will be the model of instruction in the school, however. Instruction will be given in the latest police methods of the Surete Generale, the French Scot land Yard. In addition, there will be classes in routine police work which will include handling of crowds, breaking up of street fights, disarming of criminals and general gymnastic work.
