ECONOMIC HlGHLlGHTS

Under present business cODQl
tions, no news is apt to be good
news. While business is show
ing no particular Improvement,
the decline has apparently been
interrupted and q measure of
stability reached. 1t is hoped
that political moves during the
next few months will have q
helpful effect on business in the
future.
Last summer the country un
derwent q time of financial liqui-
dation With strengthening of our
financial structure. This was
followed by a similar period of
commodity liquidation, which
seems now coming to an end.
The next step will doubtless be
farther commercial liquidation
amp readjustment to put many
of our industries on q basis to
show earnings in normal times.
Since 1929 there has been q
decide in foreign markets for
American agricultural products
but last year the decline showed
tendency to s!acken. 1t is be
lieved that once the problems of
disturbed monetary systems and
trade barriers are partially set
tied. the trend will be reversed
and larger quantities of our farm
products will reach foreign lands
Domestic demand for products
is naturally awaiting industrial
recovery. Even q slight change
for the better in business gener
ally, should cause marked i'm
provement in farm markets.
Potential bank credit is the
equivalent of the money existing
in the country. At the moment.
this credit supply is unusually
large. Member banks of the
Federal Reserve have 100000,
600 Of excess reserves, and it is
stated that these banks could
expand their credits by $4,000, 4
600, 600 without borrowing from
the Federal Treasury. Interest
rates on money are at unprece
dented low levels.

UTICA, N. Y, Aug. 10 GN.S0 l..
Fifty-two milk strikers and their
sympathizers were taken into Gus
tody by State troopers today in
an outbreak at Deruyter, about 40
miles southwest of here, where
nonstrikers were delivering milk
to plant.
Several hundred strikers had as
sembled near the plant where
four trucks, loaded with milk,
came up the highway. The trucks
were halted and an attempt made
to dump the milk.
Battle Breaks Out
State troopers were summoned.
They waded into the crowd and
q hand-to-hand battle ensued. A
number of farmers and troopers
were bruised in the fight but none
seriously injured.
State troopers, Sheriffs, dep
utieS, and special police were busy
making arrests over the far flung
front in the milk war"
Six men arrested on charges
resulting from the Battle of
Oriskany" last Saturday, when
Capt. Stephen McGrath of the
State police and other were in
jured, were arraigned in Utica
today.
Other Arrests Made
Other arrests were reported in
various other localities. Four
farmers were taken into custody
near New Berlin, charged with
dumping and wrecking the milk
truck of Robert Cutler, Of Colum-

MED|C'S POISON
DEATH HOLDS
PRETTY AIDE

GREENWOOD, Miss, Aug. 10
SO.-An attractive 33-year-old
woman, the first to be graduated
from the University of Virginia as
a woman doctor, sat alone in jail
here today charged with the
poison murder of DR.. j. Preston
kennedy, prominent Greenwood
physician and her former asso-
ciate.
She is DR.. Sara Ruth Dean, a
specialist in children'S diseases
and, until a few months ago, a
physician in DR.. Kennedy's clinic
here.
While she remained calm and
noncommittal in her cell, declin-
ing to discuss the charge against
her, tongues were busy in recall
ing the stories Of her association
with DR.. Kennedy that were circu-
lated when DR.. Kennedy was d1,
v.-ced by his wife last March.
District Attorney Arthur Jor-
dan said today that Kennedy
was planning to remarry his
former wife. Jordan ordered Dr.
Deans arrest when he was in
formed of a deathbed statement
by Kennedy accusing the woman
of giving him the poison in a
drink of whisky.
Several months ago DR.. Dean
severed her connections with the
Kennedy clinic and went to New
York to do special duty.
Last Thursday DR.. Kennedy
went to the home of DR.. Dean,
he said in his deathbed state
ment, adding:
"While there she gave me a
glass Of whisky. I drank it.
"AS soon as I drank it, 1 knew
there was something wrong with
it because of the metallic taste.
I left shortly after and tried to
rid myself of the whisky.
II didn't tell anyone Of it at
the time and dOctOred myself
with the aid Of my own medical
knowledge. Then when / realized
I could not cure myself / called

THOSE Europeans who say pity
Il ingly that America is a land
without old traditions should read
Harvey Fergusson's new book, Rio
Grande"
In this book, Ferguson describes
one of the most col0rful and event.
full pageants the history of any ma
ton affords: the long record of
human activity in the Rio Grande
valley of New Mexico, where civili-
zation has clustered about the
painted mountains for unnumbered
centuries.
First there were the Indians
plains Indians, robber bands which
lived by pillage, more civilized folk
who built walled towns hundreds of
years before Columbus came and
who evolved philosophy of life, an
awareness of humanity's kinship
with nature, that still has rich
values.
Then came the Spaniards, hunt
ing cities that never existed, looking
for gold and absent-mindedly
founding an empire, transplanting a
bit of medieval Spain to the heart
of America, cruel, daring, credulous
and proud.
Finally came the Americans. They
came over the mountains first as
traders, then they came as invaders,
and they took this outpost of en-
pire and made it their own. But
the outlines of the old order still
survive, and furnish for the reviving
life of the southwest background
of great color and richness.
Ferguson tells about all of this
with uncommon skill. He makes the
history of the region seem real and
alive, and his portraits of the vivid
personalities of the Rio Grande
valley are unforgettably brilliant.
All in all. Rio Grande" is an ex-
ceptionally good book.

Thousands of Visitors Ask
Every Day, How Does
1t WOrk?'

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-"How does
it work?"
That's the question being asked by
thousands of worlds fair visitors
every day as they look at the giant
Thermometer, 21S feet high, which
tells the temperature in such a
spectacular fashion, that it can be
seen from any part of the exposi-
ton grounds.
The thermometer is built in the
form of triangular tower of ultra
modern design. The base of the
tower is a circular structure, which
houses an oil display and rest room
Above this, starting at a height OF
fifty feet, is the tower itself, with
each of its three sides carrying a
replica of a thermometer, marked
in two-degree intervals from 10 be-
low zero to ITO above zero.
But the glowing red columns
which move up and down with
every variation of temperature at
Century of Progress, are not filled
with mercury, as many seem tt
think. Nor is there a central col
umn of mercury inside the ther.
mometer turning on red lights or
the outside, another popular guess
Such a plan would require severa
hundred pounds of mercury, which
would cost a small fortune.
In reality, the red columns are
composed of neon tubes, the same
kind SO widely used in electric signs
The fifteen-foot circles, represent
ing the bulb on a mercury ther-
mometer, also are built up of neor
tubing.
All told, LISA feet of gaseous tub
ing-nearly one-third of a mile
are used on the thermometer.

5000 VARIETIES
OF METAL NOW
ARE PRODUCED
Alloys Are Made From rs
Basic Substances
in Earth.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Seripps-Howard Science Editor

How important alloys, as mixtures
of two or more metals are called,
have become to modern civilization,
is pointed out by DR.. Fay Jeffries,
noted metallurgist, who calls atten-
ton to the fact that about 5000 of
them are used today
There are more than 5000 vari-
cites of metals industrially," says
DR.. Jeffries, who is consulting met
allurgist of the General Electric
Company and the Aluminium Com
pany and the Aluminium Company
of America.
"Of this great number, only about
twenty-five are pure metals or ele-
mental substances and the other are
mixtures, called alloys.
THE principal elemental metals
in the order of tonnage production
are iron, copper, lead zinc, alumni
mum, tin and nickel.
Steel Most Important.
"Steel, the most important alloy
in the world, is in it's simplest form
malleable alloy OF iron and car
bon. The so-called alloy steels con-
tain one or more elements in i'm
portant amounts in addition to car
bon. Iron and steel are classed as
ferrous metals from the Latin word
'ferrum.' The other metals are, as
a group, called 'nonferrous.'
Brass, the most important non
ferrous alloy, is essentially a mix
ture of copper and zinc, Duralumin,
used in the construction of zeppe-
Inns and other aircraft, contains
about 81 per cent of aluminium"
Scraps Recovered
The annual consumption of metals
in the United States runs into mil
lions of tons.
In addition to large quantities of
scrap metal recovered, the new
metal produced in the United States
in 1920 was about 100000 tons, "
DR.. JeffrieS says.
1.-THE new iron production is large
ly in the form of pig iron, which is
used both in the manufacture of cast
iron and steel. Of the total new
metal production, pig iron was
about SO per cent, and all other
metals only 7 per cent.
1T is an astounding fact that we
now use pig iron at such rate
that the entire United States pro-
duction for the year 1880, 100 years
ago, would be consumed in one and
II half days.
Railroads Create Demand
1.-THE nonferrous metal production
has increased in similar proportion.
In fact, of the seven principal met
ais, two, aluminium and nickel, were
of no industrial importance a CEN
fury ago.
THE history of the rapid expan-
sion in the use of metals is as ro-
mantle in its way as the history of
gold. The demands of the rail-
roads, both for rails and rolling
stock, in the middle of the last CEN
fury, put premium on the inven-
tive ingenuity of the metallurgist.
He responded by the development
of the BeSsemer and open-hearth
processes for making steel of high
quality, in unlimited quantity and at
low COST"
