New York, Nov 9.-(UP)--A
dollar that was battered to the
lowest level In. many years, and
the lowest In history In relation to
some foreign currencies, brought
strength into stocks and commod-
tiles today.
There were attempts at profit
taking in all markets. On tho
share market, tho profit.taking
drive resulted In an irregular APP
pearance ranging between
points loss and points gain
near the close, but most commod-
tiles finished near their highs.
Grains were up, wheat advancing
to more than cents, while cot
ton had gains OF around $i.25 q
bale.
Tho dollar ruled the markets,
opening at 1901 1-2, tho British
pound sterling lcaped during the
day to around $5.14 near the close.
Other foreign currencies were ad-
vancing similarly and In relation
to the franc, the dollar was around
62 cents. This indicated further
ance of the government drive to
improve commodity prices. The
gold price In Washington advanced
to $33.15 to maket he dollar 62.35
cents.
There were bright business out
looks to aid the better feeling In
Wall Street. Several companies ell.
thcr enlarged or reinstated dlvi-
dends. Mall Order House reported
increased sales. Imitation talk
spread. Prospects of early Russian
recognition, growing out of Maxim
Lltvinov's conversations In WASH
ington, grew.
This brought the strength into
tho markets Which even profit TAX
ing could not batter down. At times
ticker quotations were abbreviated.
Blocks of stocks up to 10000
shares came out on the tickcrs.

as that? Poor mumsie! I'll
rush"
Loranda went off.
A Sick Woman
Barry did not come to see
Judith that night, nor did he
telephone until 8 o'clock.
Mrs. Tewson, 1t seemed, was
very sick.
She died at 3 o'clock in the
morning.
"Loranda will inherit plenty
now! TO him that hath shall
be given'," Zella said grimly.
But few days later. 1t
transpired that Loranda had
come into a. great deal less
than was expected. what with
the death duties, and the slump
in stocks, and the fact that
her mother had been steadily
digging into her capital,
Loranda would have no more,
all told, than about $4,000 a
year.
"Why, that wouldn't even
keep her in clothes, poor kld!"
Betty Graves declared.
"she's got the shop, Of
course" Jack Ordway said,
that's making money, isn't
it?"
mo. Zella's rather worried.
The slump on the market and
the business depression have
affected it badly, as everything
elSe."
Zella had reason to be
worried, not only on Loranda's
account, but on her own.
If trade dropped away to
nothing, contract or no con-
tract she would lose her posi-
ton!
The Lovers Meet
In the days following Mrs.
Tewson's unexpected death,
Barry and Judith managed to
meet only twice, at lunch time.
"Oh, Barry, what are we to
do? You can't break things
off when she's in such
trouble"
Barry was thinking: "What
can do? What on earth can
I do?"-for Loranda seemed
wonderfully softened, broken
up by the loss of her mother.
It was as though she feared
Barry out of her sight. She
claimed all his time and atten-
ton.
Judith had spoken no word
to him about Loranda's letters,
or the detective hired by
The Washington times., 1933-03-04

Loranda to follow him that
evening.
That was all bluff, no doubt.
Wretched as she was over the
dilemma she was in, Judith felt
a queer kind of pity for Lo-
randa.
Things would have to drift.
In the meantime, there was no
other way out.
AS for clipping with Barry
both Of them throwing up their
jobs-ruining Barry's splendid
prospects in New York-that
was unthinkable.
During the day, Judith rarely
had a glimpse of him, for her
work was on the other side of
the building.
One evening there was a try
ing scene with Loranda. A
chastened Loranda had i'm
plored Judith to return her
packet Of letters. Loranda had
declared that she would kill her
self If she lost Barry Deane.
she had even attempted to
bribe Judith with q diamond
wrist watch.
Precious Letters
IT wouldn't dream Of accept
ing such o thing! Here are
your precious letters. I've only
been waiting the opportunity
to give them back to you,"
Judith averred.
She tried to thrust Barry out
of her mind and heart.
Loranda loved him. Loranda
had reformed. She had very
influential friends, was close to
the Graves family, and had
$4,000 a year.
What had Judith to offer in
comparison to that, except that
she, too, loved Barry?
Her mind and soul perp1exed,
anxious to do the right thing
lonely too-she turned to Jack
Ordway for companionship.
He took her to gay restau-
rants, to roofs, to theaterS.
One night, after a show. they
went to a new place for supper.
why, we've got this room all
to ourselves!" Judith exclaimed.
"How's this come about?"
II fixed it we would be alone,
because there's something I
want to talk to you about"

These peo-- pIe lived in an advanced communal state of municipal life and their agriculture knew the benefits of ex- perimentation.
 Two large colonies of these peo. ple have been found. One iS located 11 northeast of Amarillo, contains 20 rooms, and is 160 feet long and 50-feet wide. Another contains 3S rooms. Scientists believe these people were distinct from the Pueblo In. dians farther west and that they originated in the Mississippi Valley, or some eastern area. Their disap- pearance may have been due to starvation from drought, which made them again fiomadic, or they may have been driven from their civilization by warning Indians and anaigamated with other Indians of the Southwest.
