the adventurous TO the wreck
All passengers of the Merida were
saved, but the cargo and valuables
deposited with the purser went
down with the ship. There is reas-

hulk still holds twenty-five tons of
half-retined gold and silver ore;
bullion in bars worth at least ST.
0O0.Wn; 1000 tons of copper ore
and eighty kegs of American $50
gold pieces.
Another item of the cargo which
some might consider worthy of sal
wage was 1000 kegs of fine Jamaica
rum.
As early as 1916 a syndicate of
New York bankers was formed and
lrunched an effort to recover the
Merida's treasure. but the wreck
was not found and the prospect was
abandoned.

Recalling Founding of
Indiana Abbey in 1853

The death a short time ago of An
thanasius Schmitt. abbot of st. Mein-
rad, recalls the foundation of Indi-
ana's Benedictine abbey. Besought
by bishop de st. Palais, Abbot Henry
w of Einsideln. Switzerland, sent
two monks, Ulrich Chrlsten. a Swiss,
and Bede O'COnnOr, Londoner of
Irish descent, to the diocese of Vim
cennes, which then embraced the
whole of Indiana and third Of Tlli-
nois. On August II, 1853, these two
monks bought Mr.. Dennings farm Of
100 acres for $2,750. This property
lay in romantic region of entranc-
ing forests some five miles south of
Ferdinand in the hilly country that
skirts the Anderson river in Perry
and Spencer counties. 1t was In the
hills the same historic hills that,
since the beginning Of time, have
called man and monk to prayer and
meditation. Il will lift up mine eyes
to the hills whence cometh my help"
sang the psalmist. st. Francis of
Assist was filed with the "desiderium
collium aeternum" when he left the
haunts of men to go to the quiet Of
the hill-hung hermitage of La Verna.

New York.-New York city's cele-

agencies of various kinds, and the
gradual expansion Of rapid transit

Sleepy Motorists

There is much all-night driving on

ly by persons travelling between Bos-

have been a number of serious acci.
dents attributable to the operator of a
vehicle going to sleep at the wheel,
state police have adopted a plan of
halting late-night travellers. The pO-
liceman asks the driver If he is
sleepy and wants to take nap. If
the motorists says he would appreci-

Total Investment Is Now
Almost Two Billions.

New York.-The radio industry,
barely fifteen years old. has now a
total investment of 1.S0O.0O0OO0
and contributes more than $500,0O0,-
600 annually to the national wealth,
according to an analysis OF the in
dustry in Dun's Review. II pays
out S350,000.000 each year for oper-
ating expenses, spends S50,00O.OOO
for entertainers, and provides en-
tertainment and instruction for
nearly 100000 homes scattered
from Maine TO California.
OF the invested capital, S150,0O0.-
600 represents the investment of
radio manufacturers; S25,0O0,O00
the investment In radio broadcast
ing; S1.60O,O00,00O in listeners sets;
and S25,OO0.O00 the investment In
commercial radio stations. II Is the
universal acceptance of the radio
that is its best guarantee Of con-
tinued popularity. To millionaire
and laborer alike, IT brings the vo-
cal and instrumental genius of the
worlds foremost artists, reports of
sporting events, political occur
rences and the news of the world.
Retains Popularity.
The retail sales of radio products
have fallen from the record peak
in the last two years, yet this Is not
an indication of waning popularity
for the instrument, but rather a
sign of intense preparation for
period of great achievement. In
fact, the drop in sales In 1881 70
$500, ,270,OO0. and a decrease of 63
per cent from the SS42.5iS,000 in
1929. which was the record year for
the industry, is regarded as the
natural sequence of the tumbling
prices caused by the hectic activity
during 1928 and 1929 when volume
and volume alone was the aim of
the industry.
The major networks have In
creased revenues over those of last
