A Reasonable Law.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

= . .
 9 In its final form the stock market regulation bill is sound in its essential provisions. While holding out the promise of an effective curb on security trading abuses. it does not contain the
 original sections which tended to penalze the honest
 business Vesting regulatory power in special commission to be appointed by the President, the
 bill gives ample power to require financial reports from corporations having listed securities, and like wise provides stringent methods of thwarting the manipulation of stocks. The margin requirements
 are very flexible and will be adequate only if en-
 forced wisely and firmly by the commission Perhaps the most encouraging feature of the
 law is the rider attached at the last moment in the
 Senate which revses the securities law of last year. This provision eliminates the excessively severe penalties imposed on officers of corporations for
 losses suffered by investors in the stock of their poratons It is desirable that every incentive should
 be offered induce borrowers of industrial capital to deal honestly with investors. But the securities law in its original form went much farther than this and exposed the careful business man to liability for losses beyond his control.
 Since there is nothing in the stock market bill
 to handicap legitimate business enterprise and since
 the revision of the securities law encourages the flow of investment funds into industry, there is
 every to believe that the net effect of the
 new legislation will be to stimulate ecoonmic activity Probably the regulation of security trading will
 prevent the return of joyous bull market This should not be regarded damper business
 but a wholesome measure of restraint. We want lasting recovery based true values not a specu- lative recovery engendered by reckless gambling Any recovery, of course. is in part speculative Only the willingness of investors to put money
 into business enterprise, and the parallel willing ness of enterprisers to borrow and take risks will
 provide the volume of business needed. The reason able character of the stock exchange regulation
 measure and sensible revision of the securities act hold promise of reviving that flow of investment
 funds.

The CCC.
Seward Gateway

The CCC went into operation so quietly that many have almost forgotten it's existence yet it is the greatest movement of from place to place that has taken place within a generation the activities of the World War not excepted.
 Few realize the worth of the eco to Alaska last summer or what this force will accomplish this season.
 Since strict army discipline not applicable there were problems to be worked out in the way |of preserving order but by system of rewards and by getting rid of chronic trouble makers things soon were running smoothly
 Here, in the Chugach National Forest, a great deal has been done. The woods have been thinned out so that selected and hardy trees may have chance to grow. Firebreaks have been constructed and sweeping confagrations in the woods will be easier to control
 Roads have been built, enabling perfect policing lof the public domain, as well providing ingress and egress to isolated regions of this district To some extent, soil erosion has been checked Some tree-planting has been accomplished
 Those who think that the only good accom- plished by the CCC to provide employment and keep the idle out of mischief are mistaken The security of the natural resources has been promoted and those will increase accord ing to value.

 Lafferty handed it over. with a chuckle. Big clue?" he chaffed.

Detective Lafferty sent me out to trace that disguise. This is MT. Pagliotti, who has a theat- rica supply house on Twelfth Street. He can identify the beard and the man who bought it" Harris handed over a tissue wrapped package. inside of which were the beard and goatee as well as Jackson's photographs of the dead man.
 Harper turned to the plump Ital- ian. "Can you identify these as hay ing come from your stock?"
 "Yes, sir. We make everything in our own workrooms and I'd know our goods anywhere. The finest workmanship, sir" Pagliotti spoke with very little accent. his bearing confident, his black eyes agleam with intelligent curiosity.
 Harper held up one of the pic lures. "Is this the man who made | the purchaser"
 "Yes, sir. I remember him dis tinctly."

INDUSTRY AND SCIENCE.

The bringing by President Roosevelt Of men of science the service of the Government has been derisively and critically hailed in some quarters ana most of the attacks on his Administration are specifically directed at the socalled brain trlsters Yet business learned years ago that the surest road to success lay in following the guidance of science Only few days ago there was held in the Chicago Fair Forum meeting called by Alfred F. Sloan. Jr' head of General Motors, of some 300 business lead CTS and scientists a meeting in which neither de- featism nor the doctrine of limitation in an age oi plenty had place The sessions radiated hope for the future Scientific progress, he said, has only begun; civilization is still young; initiative is not dying; higher standards of living are the sure promise of technologcal progress
 Among the possible achievements of the future are airplanes with automatic piloting and landing control from the ground, stream-lined electrified trains running at POO miles hour synthetic resins replacing woods and metals, cheap power through high voltage and direct electric transmission and the complete disappearance of drudgery from the home
 Perhaps more heartening than these reasonable predictions of continued progress the manifest awareness of the inevitability of change and the need of adjusting our methods in an evolving socai order. Nothing here about hanging onto the ola merely because it is old, of rejecting the new because it is new. With that in mind, M H. Ayesworth urged a revitalizing of the schools and the reorganization of universities and research nst tutes to keep tab the social and economic effects At present social research workers speak too late They wait until the old social arrangements are upset, and then come along as wrecking crew to clean up after the catastrophe" To make the proper adjustments in time would prevent the worst features of recurrent ups and downs of business
 Science no longer stands aloof from the practical world It is the handmaiden of business It ought to be equally the servant of the public. That is why optimism is altogether reasonable. "The best is yet to be, the last of life for which the first was made" Every invention opens the way to still more inventions for, as the base of knowledge widens and deepens. evergreater structure can be built upon it. The need of social improvement is so great that there will be than enough to keep us busy in the years to come

FOSSIL TREES LIKE PRESENT ONES

Trees which grew in the Miocene epoch of geo. logical time some II 100000 years ago had essen- ially the same composition as the trees of today, say Dr. R. L. Mitchell and George J. Ritter, of the University of Michigan, in report to the American Chemical Society.
 The fossil wood which revealed how little evolu- ton has occurred in the plant kingdom was dis covered 200 feet underground during mining opera tons at Placervie, Calf, embedded in the Miocene god-bearing sands It is of the puzzles of science why trees of such ancient origin turn to coal oil they have in Pennsylvania and others change to stone in the far West
 For practical utilization. the oil and coal trans formation the most to the civilization of the United States. For scientific studies however, the transformation of tree or a plant into several drops of oil ruins any chance of investigating the form structure.
 The remarkable preservation of the California trees is accounted for in part by the complete free dom of their cells from decay fungus. This would be possible if they buried while thoroughly wet
 The changes found in the wood were a slight crushing and pronounced decrease in the soluble materials, cellulose and fbrous substance. In no did the wood become coal-ke or otherwise unrecognizable in it's characteristics Redwood pine and cedar of Lebanon included in the scen- tists' studies.

Lafferty was still smiling. You don't even know that any one dropped it. It might have been there before we came to this room at all."
 Then it would have been noticed and picked up before this" Harper argued. Look at it this way. Assume that Dufresne took the gun and hid it. We know it's still in the house, for no one has gone out even as far as the garage. Whoever took it had to plant it. and quickly, in place where it would be hidden not only from us, but from every one else in the house.
 Where could it be hidden so quickly and so safely? There was no time to prepare special place nor to go out and bury it in the grounds"
 Well, one could open a window and heave it out as far as possible. Or, there may be little sliding panel somewhere in good old melodrama style."
 HARPER nodded. Laugh if you II will but there's always the pos sibliity of a secret cupboard some where. Four yards of twine-how was it used?"
 Well, I've heard of things being hung behind shutters and outside window sills and inside chimneys, but in that case we wouldn't have the string"
 'Yes, and it's Det in the middle. That suggests contact with water or snow."
 We've looked around outside and we've been up in the little cupola There's not a single mark in the snow on the roof"
 Harper was deep in thought. "Pm sure the gun is hidden, not just thrown away to get rid of it. Sup pose you call at the neighborins houses and find out if anything un usual was heard or seen last night In the meantime I'll try to squeeze little information from the ser vants."
 The detective folded the piece ol twine and put it away in his ves pocket. Lafferty set out on hi: quest, Harper going as far as tht front door with him. Then. as h. returned along the hall. he glanced into the drawing-room in passing and was surprised to see Dufresne still wearing his lounging robe, pac

 Harper moved on quietly, smiling to himself as he unlocked the door to the breakfast-room. He had no doubt but that the master of the house had missed the piece of twine and was searching for it.
 It was getting on toward noon and Harper shut the door of the breakfast-room behind him and sat down at his workable to re-arrange his plans in accordance with the vital changes the last few hours had made in the case.
 The case had now been in Har- per's hands for something like four teen hours and he had no need to apologize for the progress made.
 There was not the slightest doubt in his mind that some one still pres ent in this house had planned and executed this whole scheme. The difficulty would arise in linking one of them to the facts so long as the identity of the masquerader re- mained unrevealed. It was impos- sible to assign a motive out of their slender knowledge.
 At least four of the eight persons in the Dufresne household were un- der direct suspicion in Harper's mind. He was muling over these various personalities. as they had revealed themselves to his observa- ton under different phases. when

Russelrs question to their own satisfaction but not to that of their dsputatious opponents Some say the question can't be answered. Here it is:
 There is barber living in a certain village. The barber does not shave anyone outside this particular village. but he slaves every man in the village who does not shave himself and only those who do not shave themselves. Now, the question is, does the barber shave himself?
 If you answer that the barber does shave him. self, then you must be wrong, because those the barber slaves do not shave themselves If, on the other hand you contend that the barber does not shave himself, because he slaves those who do not shave themselves, then you up against the difficult fact that he is himself and of necessity must shave himself
