Low MONEY RATES
|. HELPFUL TO BONDS
Investment Bankers Have
Noted Better Demand for
Sh0rt-Term Notes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 20.-Leading
investment bankers are studying closely
the present easy" money market be-
cause of the effect it may logically have
upon prices of high-grade bonds.
Normally, easy money provides
healthful tonic for bond prices. For
this reason bankers are keeping close
watch ON the Nations money reservoir
which in recent months has been
filling up rather rapidly. Last week,
interest rates in New York were re-
, duced, because of the mounting abun-
dance of idle funds, to the lowest levels
since 1908. The call loan rate eased
off to l per cent, equaling the low
point established in 1908.
Already. they pointed out, an extraor-
dinary live demand has sprung up for
Short-term and middle-term Govern
ment securities. This was reflected in
the announcement last week that the
latest United States Treasury offering
had been oversubscribed 18 times
A beneficial effect has also been seen
in recent weeks in the prices of listed
Government bonds. Some gilt edge
corporate bonds have also gone higher.

noted the following recent develop
ments:

NEW PEAK IN GOLD
PRODUCTION SEEN
Various Mining Centers Have
Been Increasing Output
This Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new peak in world gold production
is indicated for 1882 in reports from i'm
portant centers that have been made
public.
The previous high mark was estab-
lished in 1915, when calculations by the
Commerce Department placed the out
put at 22,738,009 fine ounces. In 1917
it had slumped to 20,346, 900 ounces
Then production remained low until
1880, when it approximated 100000
ounces, while last year it was in the
neighborhood of 2l,000,000 ounces.
Increase Is General.
The gold output is showing an in
crease in various important centers,
such as Canada, South Africa, Australia,
the United States and in Russia. More

currency than before, which has result

to much coin that had been boarded.

first nine months of 1882.
Russia has served notice that by 1887
she intends to be the leading gold pro-
ducer of the world. This forecast Is not
taken seriously in well informed circles
in this country. but reliable reports

Attorney Darrow To Make Greatest Plea
 Of Career To-day
His Final Chance to Save Lieut. Massie and His COnl= panions From Being Found Guilty in Honolulu Murder Case

three hours daily. One postpone ment was granted when his health failed. Then after yesterdays bril- liant round of cross examination, Darrow asked the court that he be granted the privilege of having doctor sit beside him as he made the four hour summation.
 He emphasized he did not want to select his own physician-fear- ing his action might be construed as an effort to influence the jury and the prosecution appointed Dr Robert Faus, city-county physician as the aide. Faus was {. prosecution alienist in the present trial and was cross examined by Darrow. Barry s. Ulrich. assistant prose- cutor and millionaire amateur ac- tor, was to open the argument to- day. He may speak two hours. Next was George $. Leisure of New York, assistant defense aide. Then will come Darrow's address. Prosecutor John c. Kelley, who marshalled the case against the Americans, will close the argu- ments in half an hour. IlG SSltlldlCu iCIS III OI 0PSCSA- es and Judge Charles s. Davis fin- al instructions would send the case to the jury late tomorrow.
 Evidence ended in the third week of trial yesterday and both sides rested with the stirring events of last January only partly revealed.
 The trial closed in stormy argu- ment. Darrow matched words with Dr Joseph Cation of Stanford Uni versity. third and last of the pro- secution experts, who attempted to refute defense claims Massie was insane.
 Dr Cation supported Dr Faus and Dr Paul Bowers.
 Dr Cation was asked if he had been a prosecution alienist in the Phoenix. Ariz, murder trial of Win nie Ruth Judd.
 That is irrelevant" Darrow ob- jected and was sustained.
 He interposed again when Kelley asked Dr Cation if he had exam ined Lieutenant Massie, the prose- cutor apparently wanted to empha- size again that Darrow had refus- ed all territorial experts permission to interview the accused officer. The mental expert aroused Dar- rows anger when he referred to Kahahawai and other attack de- | fendants as alleged" Do you mean to infer you don't believe Mrs Massie was assaulted?'' the aged counsel demanded. The question was ruled out. Cation, telling of the attack trial said that "the populace was against | Massie."
 "This doctor comes from. Cali | fornia," Darrow said. "He knows no more about how the populace here felt than if he had been in Austra- lia. He is attempting to lecture the | jury"

 This Particular Period

mental health. During this for native period of their lives lives, it is more vital than at any, other time that they should have the requirements necessary for the building of strong and healthy bodies.
 We should strive, more than ever before, to attempt to ensure for each child the essentials which President Hoover sets forth. May Day, 1882, means the focusing of the spirit of the year on the needs of our children in order that:
 "(1) Each child may be shelt- cred in it's own home and share secure family life during 1882; CD each child may have the essen tial food elements in each days diet during 1892; (3) each child may have an edaquate supply of clean, safe milk during 1892; (4 each child may plenty of sunshine, sleep, rest and recreation; (5) each child may be born healthy, of healthy mother, who will love her child and take care of her family"
 In Connecticut, there are about 100000 children of school age and eavry autumn about 30,000 enter school for the first time. Under nourished children may have such lowered. vitality that they cannot larn readily. Without adequate physical and mental training the child may enter school with a handicap which he can never overcome.
 The child health program in this state, through the bureau of Child Hygiene, begins with work with the expectant mother, by in- structions on prenatal care through letters and pamphlets which are available upon application. In this way, the department attempts to help each child start life with its potentialities fully protected. Until school age is reached, the child is protected through the periodical supervision of We'll Child conferences and by the Summer Round-ups at which tots not yet in school are given expert examinations and the defects dis covered are referred to physicians and detists for rect fication. Through the cooperation of other bureaus of the department, boards of education, the Connecticut Con- gress of Parent and Teachers, many other organizations con- cerned with mothers and children and the people of the state in general, nearly all Connecticut children have the opportunity to enter school in close to 100 per cent physical condition.
 Dr Ingraham, state May Day chairman, urges active participa- tion in May Day activities by all persons and organizations in the state and the consideration on child health by all thoughtful per- sons throughout the year. Many organizations have already signi- fled their intention of taking part in the days activities. These in- clude the State Board of Educa- tion, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts. the Campfire Girls, all Parochial schools, the Chambers of Commerce. the Milk Producers association and many other groups interested in welfare work.

"The trial court should exercise extreme caution in setting aside jury's verdicts for errors which oc- cured in the charge and should do so only when error is unmistakable and harmful, Judge Edward J. Finn states in a decision handed down to-day in which he denies the plaintiffs motion to set aside the defendants verdict in the case of Frank Cakes and others against the Waterbury Milldale Tramway Com- pany. Inc.
 The plaintiff sued to recover for injuries his wife received when she slipped from a step of one of the Green Line trolleys at Exchange Place in December of 1880. The case was tried to jury and a yer dict for the defendant was return ed. Plaintiff moved to set the yer dict aside. including among it's grounds, that error was made by the judge in his charge to the jury when he used the term due care" which should have been taken by the plaintiff.

 The 75 year old attorney, whose courtroom cunning was never more marked than in his cross examin- ation of pr Joseph Cation yester- day, is beginning to fell the weight of half century of pleading the causes of the accused. He has asked and been granted the privilege of having a doctor sit beside him as he makes his final summation in the trial of Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, Mrs Granville Fortescue. A. o. Jones and E. J. Lord.
 The quartet are accused of kill inR Joe Kahahawai, native who was one of five men charged with attacking Mrs Thalia Massie, wife of the naval lieutenant and daugh- ter of Mrs Fortescue.
 All attention and courtesy cen- tered to-day on Darrow. the attor- ney whose career has been in de- fense of the accused whether they Do sons of the wealthy or laborers. With a glamorous background of defenses of such noted cases as the McNamara bomb plot in California. the Scopes trial in Tennessee. and the Loeb-Leopold case in Chicago, Darrow had prepared to retire to the quiet of his Chicago life when the call came for him to defend the so-called "ilonor slayers."

Calling attention to the fact that
 May l, set aside annually by presi- dential and gubernatorial pro-
 clamation as Child Health day, this year deserves greater thought and consideration on the part of the state and nation than in any pre- vious year, the state department of health through it's bureau of Child Hygiene today offered the people of Connecticut every means within it's power to assist in the preservation of child health.
 In an article in one departments monthly bulletin, Dr A. Elizabeth Ingraham, director of the bureau of Child Hygiene, states that at no time since Child Health day was first instituted "has it been so | vitally important that the deepest and most thoughtful consideration
 be given to the especial needs of
 our children.
 "The problems which confront us tax our minds and hearts to the utmost. Retrenchment is the mot to on every hand and expenses Of
 all sorts are being reduced to a
 minimum. Because of economic depression countless children are being deprived of adequate food, medical attention, dental service
 and other health essentials. As a result of these deprivation. great
 number of our future citizens are in danger of reaching adulthood as physically defective human beings.
 The welfare of the state and na-
 ton is. in danger.
 Despite this situation, or per- haps rather because of it, Child | Health day and all that it stands | for is more essential than it ever has been before. Our children are our wealth and their welfare is the | welfare of the nation. Rather than curtailing the work now be-
 ing done for them, we should make greater effort to safeguard them and promote their physical and
