Stock Studies

The Vanadium Corporation is q
large producer of many of our rarer
metals. 1t controls the largest
known supply of vanadium, which
is so largely used as an alloy to
give greater tensile strength to
steel
The company also owns deposits
of chromium, silicon, titanium and
manganese. These products have
important use as alloys, largely in
steel production. In addition, the
company has been developing the
production of chemical products de-
rived from its ore deposits. Ore de-
posts are located in many sections
of this country and parts of South
America. Principal refining plants
are located near Pittsburgh and at
Niagara Falls.

FERA PROGRAM
TAKES FAMILIES
OFF DOLE ROLL
Rural Rehabilitation Plan
Now Carried Into 27
States.
BY ROBERT s. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1o.-The
rural rehabilitation program of the
federal emergency relief adminis-
tration holds promise of developing
into one of the major contributions
to national recovery.
Already carried into twensy-seven
states, the rural program has re-
moved more than 10000 farm FAM
lilies from direct relief rolls and,
with S50,000,000 available in federal
funds, will double that number
within six months. FERA officials
declare.
A new venture in relief methods,
rural rehabilitation has been care
fully explained to state relief adj
ministrators throughout the coun-
try. Conferences have been held at
strategic points. The plan so far
has been more highly developed in
the south. where large appropr;a-
tons have been made to Alabama.
Georgia, Louisiana. Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee.

Alabama Sets Example

Alabama in particular has shown
marked progress in rehabilitating
its destitute farm families. More
than 5000 families were trans
planted" from positions of destitu-
ton to small acreages where they
were given opportunity to earn their
own living. Almost all of them
have demonstrated their fitness for
future ownership.
A total of $629,000 has been al
lotted to Alabama for its farm pro-
gram, representing an average in
veStment of Sill in each family as
sisted. More than so per cent Of
this indebtedness has been liquidated
by work relief. The value of crops
produced this year has been esti-
mated at $1,000,000.
r. K. Greene, Alabama rural re-
lief director, declares that at least
rs per cent of the families rehabili-
tated have sufficient foodstuffs,
canned and stored, to supply their
wants this winter.

Long Time Payments

Most of the 10000 families have
been placed on farms which are
leased until the end of next year,
with the understanding that they
will be given the privilege of buy
ing on longtime payments.
The FERA reports that approxi-
mately 5000 families have been re-
habilitated in Arkansas and Missis-
sippi, 1000 in Kansas, 1900 in
Maine, 1,100 each in Michigan and
Ohio.
Many typical cases are on record.
An Alabama tenant farmer, with
family of three, was financially
stranded, unable to obtain credit or
farming equipment to earn living.
The relief administration loaned
him S12123 to purchase two steers,
seed, fertilizer, feed and some farm
equipment. He was moved to
small farm. In eight months he
had paid back the loan in full with
labor on public projects and at the
same time had produced crops VAL
ued at 1921. The family is definitely
of relief for the coming year.
Families Off Relief
Another case is that of the JAS
per county Missouri farmer who,
with his family of ten, was evicted
from his farm home. The FERA
found forty-acre tract at rental
of So an acre. There was no house
on the land, so a three-room cottage
was purchased for SIS and moved to
the rehabilitated farm. In all this
man borrowed sos. He is paying it
back with chickens, eggs and canned
vegetables and is producing enough
food in addition to support his
family.
In Ohio a family, on direct relief
more than a year, was moved to a
small poultry farm. Only s134 was
necessary to place the buildings in
repair and supply a flock of chick
ems. The FERA purchased feed for
S34, making the loan S163. In six
months the family paid back S134
and was elf-sustaining. Hundreds
Of similar cases are shown in FERA
fileS@
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief
administrator, believes the program
one Of the best so far developed.

Then I blinked round stupidity. 1t
was broad daylight. Some where In
the neighborhood q church clock
was Ginning the hour, and through
| the big window blue sky peeped In
between the opposite chimney pots.
| On the back of the chair beside me
hung my coat and wiistcoat.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat.
Once again the knocker of the front
door was piled vigorously, and rubbing
my eyes, took hasty glance at my
o'clock. I had evidently been sleeping
like log ever since lay down the
previous evening, and that must be
Bob Hicks outside, hammering vainly
for admission.
Leaving my weapon where 1t was
and hosting myself from the couch,
set of in the direction of the hall.
At the third step encountered the
BOBBY trap. In my hurry I had
forgotten all about the cursed thing.
and tripping over it suddenly In mid
career, came down full length on
the floor with a crash that shook the
studio.
"Confound it," I said furiously.
The door of my bed room was
flung open. and a slim vision In
white. with bare arms and tousled
hair, darted out onto the landing.
whats happened? What's the
matter?"
I sat up nursing my left elbow.
Nothing important" I replied.
"Ive only fallen over bit of string
which I put down last night to catch
the enemy"
"Oh! I-hope you aren't hurt!"
She upshed back .eb -llious lock
which had tumbled forward across
her eyes. II was fast asleep-I thought
| for q moment"
Bang-bang-bang-went the knock
er-this time more insistently than
ever.
who's that?" she demanded.
A little painfully scrambled to my
feet. I'm just going to see. ! think
it's propably friend of mine from
the local pub who promised to call
around this morning and fetch the
milk for me. I've sort of suspicion
that we've both oversight ourselves"
There was faint ripple of laughter.
1T does look rather like that, doesn't
/ it?" She leaned forward over the ban
nisters. You'll be very careful?"
Very" I assured her.
I continued my interrupted Jour-
ney to the hall and, stopping down
peered through the letter box. A
ragged coat sleeve with a bit Of fan.

unlocked the door and, with q
friendly grin which revealed solitary
and somewhat discolored tooth, Mr..
Hicks raised grimy forefinger to the
level Of his cap.
"Ope ! amt too early. You did
say o'clock-didn't yer?"
Quite correct" I assured him.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, but
being tried for murder makes one
pretty sleepy" I dived into my trous-
ers pocket and produced half crown
Here you are. Bob" I added. II want

as he did so. Funny 'ow tastes diff

ROORY TRAP.

n II OILY walked slowly to the top
| IN of the stairs and then, turn
| v ing round, glanced back over
i the banisters. Good night,
she said, you'll let me get
up and cook the breakfast, won't
you?"
Il shall insist on it," answered.
With a little laugh she stepped
inside. and the next moment the door
closed.
For several seconds I stood where
! I was surveying the empty studio.
There were three possible means by
which an entrance might be effected
the door. the skylight and the large
north window. In each case, however,
the feat would involve considerable
amount of noise-certainly enough
to wake me up in ample time to well
come the intruder.
With this advantage and with q
loaded revolver in my possession. I
was not disposed to be unduly
alarmed, but all the same it struck me
that by the adoption of two extra little
precautions could in few minutes
still further strengthen my position.
Pushing the sofa along to the far
corner. wheeled it round so that
it presented its back to the door.
Though PROBABLY not bullet-proof, 1t
would. 1 felt in the regrettable event
of there being any midnight hostili-
ties at least provide me with serv-
iceable screen.
I heaped up the end nearest the
window with as many cushions as
could collect. and then, crossing to
my desk and pulling open the bottom
drawer, I unearthed ball Of stout
string.
With the aid of this I proceeded to
construct my BOBBY trap. 1t was a
simple affair-just a tightly drawn
line, six inches from the ground,
stretching right across the whole
length of the studio. One end I
secured to the foot of the desk, while
the other I made fast to the leg of a
heavy chair
Even with the light on 1t was
practically invisible, and not little
pleased at my own ingenuity, I sat
down on the foot of the sofa and
| lighted a final cigarette.
There was no denying that it had
been a crowded and successful day
! What was that?
With a suddent start I jumped
/ up into sitting position, and thrust
| ing my hand under the cushions,
grabbed hold of my revolver.

CAPITOL STATUE MOVING
JOB NEARLY FINISHED
Work Awaits Word From Califor-
MIA on Figure to Remain
in Hall.

The work of moving nearly half of
the statues from Statuary Hall to
other parts of the Capitol will soon be
finished. Completion of the task
awaits only decision as to which one
of the two California statues is to be
given a new location, and officials at
the Capitol are waiting to consult
members of Congress from that State.
Congress authorized the relocation
of some of the statues to relieve the
strain on the floor resulting from the
crowding of 68 statues in the hall. The
rule followed was to relocate one
statue from each State that had two
in Statuary Hall. Thirty-one statues
already have been placed in other por-
tions of the building.
The two statues from California, one
of which will be relocated, are OF
Thomas Starr King, clergyman, lee
turer and statesman, and Junipero
Sierra, Franciscan missionary in the
early days of the State.
