bv a man who was attracted to his
pleasant personality, and made
cashier of the First National Bank
of Canton, Pa. Before long, the
cashier was president and biggest
stakeholder in the bank and his
benefactor h d advanced many
thousands of DOLLARS to him in
return for-paper. McFadden, in
the courst of his striving for
wealth, no matter how it was got
ten, started a number of business
es. Starting businesses and get
ting people to invest in them was
his speciality, besides posing as
great friend of the people.
We find, for instance, that he
borrowed $8,75O from the First
National Bank of Canton, Pa.
(his own banlz-but the deposit
ors' money!. In return he gave
as security $50 shares of the
Southern States Oil Corporation
the same stock he had been given
as a bribe along with the $4,000!
We thus come to the conclusion
that $50 shares of this stock is
/ worth $8,75O.
When he went bankrupt, how
ever, he listed among his person
81" property $500 shares of the
same company's stock as being
worth exactly 81. And another
500 shares of the same stock hello
by his brokers as being worth ex
actly 81.
, In other words he had borrow
ed, of the peoples money deposit
i ed in his bank, a sum far in ex
cess of the value of the stock HI

Earth Is Not Finished
Like Sculptor's Model

The earth is not finished" in the
sense that sculptor would apply the
word to a statue Of his, asserts writ
er In the New York Times. The forces
that began to shape the earth when 1t
was but liquid ball are still at work,
although they are not as violent now
as they were then. It is as normal for
the earth to shake as 1t is for clouds
to sweep across the sky.
The process of faulting, which means
the redistribution Of the earth's ma
terials in an effort to establish equili-
brium, is not likely to end for many
million years. And when it does the
earth will be finished" in the slang
sense Of the term. 1t will be mere
cinder drifting in space around the sun,
with no heaving oceans, no green trees,
no life. When stability comes man will
be extinct.
To seismologist earthquakes reveal
the internal structure of the earth.
They are somewhat like X-rays that
make the bones stand out on a photo
graph of the chest. The records re-
veal the character Of the waves that
course through the trembling earth
plainly enough. They are highly COM
plex-these earthquake waves. They
move up and down like waves in the
ocean, crosswise like those in flut-
tering flag, back and forth like sound
waves.

Bullet-Proof Gla..

Bullet-proof or shatter-proof glass is
made from two sheets Of plate glass
with transparent plastic material
such ~ pyralin or cellulose between.
The layers are cemented together and
heat and pressure are applied to every
part. The Britannica cyclopedia gives
. description Of this Illuminated glass
and mentions that 1t is retardent but
not proof against rifle and revolver
shots. An article on glass In "Chemis-
try IN Industry" mentions REINFORCED
glass, made BY working wire screening
between two layers of molten glass; or
by fastening several layers of plate
glass together with some plastic or
gummy cement under pressure. This
authority states that one can stand in

Over the mountains towards the
