and large attendance is expected

All five members of the state
highway commission will be guests
of the Ell Centre chamber at this
luncheon, including Earl Lee Kelly,
chairman, Harry A. Hopkins, Tim
othy a. Reardon, Philip A. Stanton,
Frank A. Tetley and John w. Howe,
secretary. Other guests of the
chamber will be Col. Walter E.
Garrison. state director of public
works; c. II. Purcell, chief engi-
neer of the highway commission
and e. @. Sullivan and S. V. Cor
telyou, division highway engineers
Of the southern counties of Cali

I'VE urge a large attendance at

Der of Commerce highway commit
tee. This is a splendid opportun-
ity to meet with the California

how signally this county has been
favored, and that we have approx

Business activity in Southern
California was characteristically
slack in January. The leading in
dustrieS in the Los Angeles area
reported, for the most part, either
the same or slightly curtailed pro-
duction schedules in contrast with
those of December. To consider
able extent the changes noted were
of approximately seasonal proper
tions. The latest comprehensive
data available indicate that the
downward trend of industrial en-
ployment in this county reported in
recent months has not as yet been
reversed. Some improvement in the
outlook for the basic industries may
be detected in the nature Of in
quiries now being received. Recess
sions in retail and wholesale trade
were more notable than those OBJ
served in industrial operations with
the exception of building undertak-
ings, which declined to compara-
lively low levels in Los Angeles
Mercantile sales volumes and con-
struction work were both affected
adversely by unfavorable weather
during the month.

adian government, farm loan issues
and undertakings of domestic states,
municipalities and cities. Approx
mately 60 per cent of all corpor-
ate flotationS during the year was
in behalf of public utility organ
izations. Sharp declines from pre-
vious years were noted through
out 1881 in the capital funds OBJ
tanned through the marketing of
securities originated by foreign gov
ernments and investment trusts,
trading and holding companies. AS
to this latter classification, it is
interesting to observe that invest
ment trusts, for the most part, have
revised their methods of financing.
Instead of offering substantial
issues for public subscription, as
was done prior to 1880. the current
practice is to sell through distrib-
uting groups or syndicates partici-
pating equities in blocks of secur-
tiles purchased in behalf of pros
pective or actual unit holders.
Government Finance
Financing undertaken by the
United States Treasury in January
1882, consisted of three separate
issues of treasury bills totaling
$500, 900 and two issues of cer-
tificates of Indebtedness in the ag-
gregate amount of $350000,O00. The
specific obligations are described
as follows:
Treasury bills, month, 3.25 per
cent, Sl00,000,000.
Treasury bills, 5 months, 2.875
pr cent, $50,000,000.
Treasury bills, 3 months, 2.48 per
cent, $50,0O0,000.
Certificates, 6 months, 1925 per
cent, $350,000,000.
Certificates, l year, 3.75, $3.50 ,O0O.-
000
All of the flotations were heavily
oVersubScribed The certificates
were announced on January 26 and
are dated February /, 1882. The
amount of each series allotted was
determined by the proportion of
the total subscriptions received for
each of the issues. OF the proceeds
derived from the sale of certificates,
S60000,000 will be applied to the
payment of maturing treasury bills
and $290,000,000 will be advanced
by the government to the capital of
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration.
The trend of bond and stock
prices on the leading exchanges
OF this country was slightly upward
IN January. The renewal rate on
call loans in the New York market
was 2la per cent during most of
the month. Rediscount rates on
all classes of paper were reduced by
the federal reserve banks of Rich
mond and Dallas, effective on jan
uary 25 and %, respectively. Re
auctions in the bill buying rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York were made during the month.

short time every mile of state high
way within this county will be

According to the chamber of
commerce the states investment in
highways in Imperial county is ap-
proXimately 100000. State monies
have been expended in this county
on state highways at the rate of
81 100000 per year for each of the
last four or five years. The fine
roads are the envy of many other
counties and they have done much,
state chamber staff members, to
bring prosperity to Imperial Valley
and to provide facilities for the
movement of many farm products.
Manager Hays asks that reserva-
tions be made by telephone at
chamber headquarters on Friday
morning in order that ample places
may be provided. Chairman Kelley

CRIME MUSEUM
SHOWS ANCIENT
DEATH CAGE

ROME, Feb. 4. U.P)-A museum
of historical crime has been inaug-
urated here in the prisons built
in 1866 by Pope Innocent x.
Among the exhibits are relics
of famous crimes committed in
Rome and district during the last
century In addition, there is a
room where instruments of medi-
eval torture and execution are
shown.
Here are shown a scaffold that
was used publicly in ancient
times, and five guillotines. A
headsman's huge rusty sword is
hung on the wall, and beside it is
the basket into which the heads
| fell.
One engaging instrument of med
ieval justice which is exhibited is
the so-called cage of death. This
is an iron cage roughly modelled
| after the human form, but made
only of curved hoops, wherein con-
demned persons were placed. The
custom in the Middle Ages was to
hang the prisoner in the cage
which allowed free access to the
weather, from the corner of some
public building, until he died. This
sometimes took several days.
The cage of death" now being
exhibited was found in a ditch
near the castle of Milazzo, in Sicily
