enable that demand for automobiles
should increase under those circum-
stances, but in actual operation, that
isn't necessarily true. The English
buyer may reason that with the dollar
falling steadily, he can make a much
better purchase by waiting until the
dollar depreciates some more, so that
actually the dealer stocked with Ameri-
can-made cars Is unable to unload the
units he has on hand, and as a result
delays buying again from the manu-
facturer in Detroit.
Imports Take Jump.
On the other hand is the American
importer Where the dollar depreciates
from day to day, the money he has for
investment will buy less and less day
after day. This, it appears. would
normally retard buying for the United
States in foreign markets. But that,
likewise, ISM necessarily the case.
The American importer, particularly
those who buy raw materials abroad,
see their money virtually vanish as it
lies in bank. There is no reason for
him to believe that because of that
situation the demand for raw wool,
silk, hides or tin will be any less at
home Consequently, instead of allow
ing his purchases to decrease, he rushes
into the market as quickly as possible
to get the maximum quantity for his
dollar. The longer he waits, the less
he can get, and as a result imports,
instead of falling, gain.
As a matter Of fact, however, sta
tistics on foreign trade since the
United States abandoned the gold
standard last April. have failed to in
dicate definite trend. In two months,
June and August, the American trade
balance has been unfavorable. In April,
May, July and September, and for the
first nine months of the year, the bal
ance has been on the export side. The
same thing is true for the six months
since depreciation began.
In April there was a favorable bal
ance of S16,805, 900. In May this bal

DELAWARE HEARING
bARES LIQUOR RING
Former Constable Tells OF
Alliance With Aide of
State Senator.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November IL
Samuel Scott. former Delaware County
constable, today told the Jury in the
Delaware County liquor conspiracy case
that he never had any direct connection
with State Senator John j. Mcclure in
protecting law violators, but did have
with John F. Bauer, McClure's secre-
tary.
Scott was recently released from iaiI
after serving a term for extortion. Nc
Clure is charged with being the head
Of protection ring in Delaware County.
He is on trial with "a other persons from
the county.
The witness said he made periodic
reports TO Bauer and a number Of ward
leaders as to his activities in giving
protection.
Scott testified that after Samuel e.
Turner became mayor of Chester, the
slot machine racket" was divided into
districts, and the real formation of the
protection ring organization was set up.
Scott also said, "I would talk to Bauer
and tell him about speakeasies running,
and about keeping other speakeasies out,
but was never told to do anything"

U. S. Trade Balance
Result of Monetary Policy
Gold Buying and Dollar Manipulation in
Theory Should Boost Exports and Bring
Decrease in Foreign Goods Consumed.

Time will be required to Judge with
ernment's policy of gold buying and
dollar manipulation upon the coun-
trys foreign trade.
In theory, dollar cheapening should
give the United States a favorable trade
balance, lowering imports and increas-
ing exports. But current trade statis-
tics indicate that this situation is by
no means q reality at present, although
q favorable balance has been shown
through the first nine months of the
year.
Factors not accounted for in usual
economic practice have entered the
situation to the extent that ordinarily
accepted flaws" no longer apply. These
factors, chiefly, are the artificial bar
riers to trade erected even before the
United States abandoned the gold
standard to send the dollar down
abroad.
Foreign Trade Hindered.
Higher tariff rates, import quotas and
systems of exchange control have
limited American trade abroad. Higher
duties have been assessed in amounts
to equal depreciation Of the dollar and
thus keep down the demand for Amer
ican goods at lower prices. Quotas
have had the same effect by limiting
the quantities Of American goods al
lowed to enter a foreign country, and
control buyers and American export
ers has also placed limit on the Amer
ican sales abroad.
The ideal situation, as described by
one economist, would operate to in
crease demand for American goods be-
cause of the foreigners ability to meet
the American price with smaller sum
Of his own currency. For example, an
American automobile, quoted in dol
lars by an English dealer at 5000 f. o. b.
ago for $50 pounds terling, with the
pound quoted then at 81. Now, how
ever, the pound is quoted above IS and

TINE world is filled with won
drous things which scientists
have learned . great deal about
1 but new problems arise and
then 1t Is their duty to 60 to a
great deal Of work to try to find the
answers.
Among the exciting problems Of re-
cent years has been pursuit" Of cosmic
rays.
From somewhere In the universe-no
one yet knows where-rays OF strange
kind are being sent through the air.
We know that they strike as high as
IS miles above the earth. and we
know that they reach the earth's sur
face, but We can say little about their
origin or what they do for man, II
they do anything
In 1925 the famous Prof. Millikan
suggested that cosmic rays were made
far out in space when electrons Joined
together to form atoms. Another SCI
enlist. Sir James Jeans. believed that
the opposite cause might send cosmic
rays speeding far and wide; II atoms
were broken up into electrons far out
in space the result might be to shoot
forth cosmic rays.
Those are interesting ideas and We
may add to them the thought OF q
young French scientist. He suggests
that cosmic rays are electrons shot out
by the sun.
When scientists are in doubt about
q problem they are willing to make
long journeys and patient tests. Nine
teen months ago group Of scientists
set to work on world survey to learn
more about the cosmic rays.
During the survey tests were made

BY this time Unc' Billy, for, Of course,
It really was Unc' Billy. had climbed
out of hole in the trunk Of that tree,
. hole he could just squeeze through
but which was too small for Yowler
the Bobcat to get his head through.
He had climbed out and was sitting
5ust where the moonlight fell full on
him so that Jumper could see him
clearly

tainly do But Unc' Billy Is dead. I
saw him killed. With my own eyes I
saw him shaken to death. So you can't

fool yo' that time. but they aren't

Shells Of lead and copper around the
steel ball were used to keep out rays
which the scientists did not want to
measure. Cosmic rays can cut through
metals which keep out other rays.
It was learned that cosmic rays are
weak along the line of the Equator. but
very strong in the temperate zones. 1t
was also found that the greater the
height at which tests were made the
stronger the cosmic rays.
At some time in the future scientists
may learn much more about these rays
and they may prove to be of greater i'm
portance than X-rays or radium.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE,

But every time, upon the bank,
wait to war with him anew,
He gives a swift and sudden yank
And bites the trembling line In two
While I. despondent. sad and cheated,
Say things that need not be repeated.
But this year shall bafle him.
The evil creature shall no more
Toward deeper. safer waters swim
And leave me cursing on the shore
No more his flnny pals he'll show,
The while he grins in ghoulish glee,
The hooks. which. darting to and fro,
He wrested savagely from me-
When April's murky waters cool him
I'm going to stay at home and fool him
