MORGAN MAXIMS
PUT ON PAPER?
Interesting Volume Gives Bust
ness Rules.

What may have been the rules and
maxims upon which the fortunes Of
the House of Morgan were founded
are contained in 314-page book
written in longhand by James Nor
gan in 1740.
The worn, leather-coyered volume
now is In the possession of Mrs. An
toinette Parsons Mcintyre, of Phila-
delphia, Observation-Disclosures of the
author of the book, who was the
son of one of the three Morgans who
came to this country from Britain In
1886.
Its pages are of legal manuscript
size. The writing Is the fine monas-
tic script of the gifted writer's of
generations ago. Flourishing head
tngs, embellished with pen and ink
designs, divide the book into Sec
tons.
For more than a century the vol
ume has been lying in an attic
closet in the Towanda (Pa.) home
of Mrs. Anne Morgan Parsons, Mrs.
MclntyreS mother.
Rules for every type Of business
transaction, with eight or ten ex-
amples for each, were carefully in
scribed on the pages. The book
opens with examples of simple arith-
metic. Tables for all types of meas
urements are given. More intricate
calculations follow.
On one page is printed the fol-
lowing rule:
"As the sum of the several stocks
is to the total gain or loss, so 10
each mans share in stock to his
share of gain or loss"
par of exchange is the intrinsic
value of foreign money" the Colonial
economist wrote In commenting upon
exchange and currency.
"The course of exchange Is the
value of money agreed to among
merchants" Morgan continued. "The
course of exchange is not always the
same; it rises or falls almost every
day, according as money is plenty or
scarce, or according to the time al
lowed for fragments of the money
on exchange, and the value Is said
to be above or under par"
Near the end of the book, the
author wrote:
"There Is one thing in progression
and in varying the order of things
which is well worth our observation,
and that is the power Of numbers,
which is surprisingly great and be-
yond common belief, and is no ways
conceived by common practitioner,
hardly by very good artist; 1t be-
ing in appearance not so much
against reason as above it.
"The first example in geometrical
progression discovers what a pro-
digious sum of money a horse sold

vented it's completion. A neat entry

her after lighting her cigarette and his

Would-Be Thief
 Damages Window

Somebody who wanted to give somebody else q rather personal Christmas present didn't suc- ceed early this morning. The reason was that a policeman came along just in time to halt tue proceedings but not to catch the wOuld-bc gift-givcr.
 The policeman was PatrOlman DOnlenic VcrrastrO and he found that a thief lad started to cut a hole through the display win dow of a West Main street store. A neat little piece of the plate glass had been removed, but the thief didn't have time to get his hand inside to take Anything.
 The officer looked at the hole, looked at the window, and bIush- cd from neck-line to cars. He bluslled all the way over to head quarters, where he made report of the incident. The desk officer blushed, too, as he wrote it in the daily report book. This morn- ing reporters blushcd when the desk officer whispered about the attempted break.

 WRITES OF JAPAN

Rev Floyd Roberts, who former ly was assistant pastor at the First Congregational church here writes friends in Waterbury that he is planning to come back to the Unit ed States this summer after six years engaged in missionary work in Japan. Rev Mir Roberts with his wife and three children will sail for America in July and visit Water- bury among other cities
 He tells of meeting Augustus Chase, American consul at Muk- den, in Manchuria, during a visit to the new state and had dinner with the Waterbury representative of the American government.
 Rev MT Roberts states these are stirring times in Japan. Some times we feel we live in war times, and there is certainly a feeling of tension in the nation. Everyone expects something to happen with in the next two years. but no one seems to know what that crsis may mean" The letter adds that cer- tain happenings within Japan, such as droughts, typhoons. famine and happenings outside Japan, such as the League of Nations dispute and the naval ratio of Japan with other nations. have served to keep her on guard.

 Mail At Peak To-day
Force of 100 Assistants at Post Office Speed Up Pre-

Working frantically all week end, regular and extra employees at the post office found themselves we'll in control of what appears to be the heaviest Christmas mail that Waterbury has had in the past five years. Extra deliveries were being made in every sec tion of the city to-day. The post office gave special holiday service for the benefit of Water burians.
 Postmaster James T. Kelley eX- presses himself as highly pleased with the way in which his postal force has handled the tremendous bulk of holiday mail. More than 100 extra workers have been em- ployed during the past few days. The fact that a good part of them have been persons with previous post office experience has enabled them to swing right into the routine of handling Christmas mail. The extra workers have been assigned as clerks, as carriers ana as 1aborers.

Strange PhenOmena Gives CCC Boys in West Corn-
 Wall Dinner

Cornwall Bridge, rapidly out
 stripping Winsted as the locale for
 Believe It or Not" tales, reports
 another strange occurrence last week. The story. narrated by Ralph H. White, educational director of
 Camp Cross, West Cornwall CCC unit, follows:
 "A freak bolt of lightning at Barrocks Mountain in northwest ern Connecticut, resulted in one of
 the strangest natural phenomena in recent years, and one of the
 most delightful dinners ever serv-
 ed by the Camp Cross chefs at the CCC camp in West Cornwall. CCC workers from amp ross were inter- rupted in their work last week by a short shower characterized by a single clash of thunder and electri- cal discharge. The forestry detail,
 under Jack Yusko of Greenwich, was startled by the freak occur renee and the crash, which was so
 near that there was every indica- tion something had ben hit. A re- connoitering expedition travelled a few hundred yards into the low
 underbrush where they scented
 burning hair. In a small clearing
 lay the body of plump 200-pound nine-foot deer-the tragic victim , of natures sordid prank. Possibly
 the lightning was attracted by
 mineral deposits of iron near the surface of the mountain.
 'The accident was reported to the county game warden, and per- mission secured to remove the
 fresh carcass. The camp mascot
 parked gleefully as the beautiful
 animal was brought back to camp
 by truck. hoice steaks were pre-
 pared from the dressed meat, but the proud head and broad >antlers

I To-day's mail was the highest individual total of any day since | holiday rush has been underway, but the post office was well-pcepar- ed to handle it, and the mail was being dispatched with great hapid- ity. A last minute avalanche of cards and packages arrived at the main post office building, while the more important sub-stations re- ported the same fact.
 In accordance with Postmaster General Farley's rule, delivery of packages will be done tomorrow by extra workers and by regulars who choose to work on Christmas Day. The only letters to be deliver ed, however, will be ones sent spe- cial delivery.
