Mother knew it was best for Sugar
to have something to DO. She seemed
too stunned for action, but she got
up woodenly and crossed to the bath

Mother went over to her bed she re-

in Sugars heart there was nothing

Aided by strength in grains and
O moderate upswing in stocks,
cotton futures today rebounded
In generally active dealings.
At the start the list was I'M
changed to S points higher, with
the steadier tone being attributed
partly to a slight improvement
in Liverpool cables and partly to
predictions of further rains in the
western portion of the Belt. Ini-
tial prices were bettered some
what as the morning wore on.
=. Spot houses were good buyers
Of the July contract. Other prin-
cipal purchasers were the trade,
Liverpool and shorts. Selling was
traced to locals, Wall street and
wire houses. Activity in late fore
noon dealings centered chiefly in
the near months.
Around the noon hour, futures
were up 4 to 9 points, July was
up Z at 11.65, October up 8 at

Further recovery developed in the
grain market today on buying
stimulated chiefly by relative

bullish weather reports. Technical
conditions also were a factor.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, June Is U.N.S).
Trading in the coarse yarn cloths
market today was at the same slow
pace that has prevailed since the
death of the old NRA. Interest in
later deliveries was at a minimum,
and where buyers wanted spots they
dug them out of second hands at
fairly sharp concessions from first
hand lists. These second hand sales
were not speculative movement of
goods, but stood the sellers loss,
since the goods were moved at prices
which had not ruled for some months,
and at which no important contracts
had been bought. In the print cloth
division it was again reported that
.3Sh-inch 6.25-yard 6Ox ASS were sold
in second hands at 81 cents, but first
hands were firm at 515 cents, and
most second hands who had goods
to offer wanted SIS cents for them.

liquor and industrial shares as
well as specialties.
Bonds continued to present a
firm appearance though dealings
were quieter. Little Of conse-
quence developed in foreign ex-
changes.
Johns Manville rose over a
point and American Radiator was
involved in large dealings at ad-
vancing prices as traders turned
attention to the neglected build
ing group.
The hope for legislation to
replace the defunct code was a
factor in bringing some buying
into the liquor group. Schenley
and National Distillers scored
moderate gains.

Garter Wood that the Croker Institute of Cancer Research of Columbia University and the Presby terian Hospital have jointly installed entirely new type of X-ray apparatus which makes it pos sibe to treat several patients at the same time, and at the rarely attained voltage of million, assumes an importance that speaks for itself. The effects are those that can be achieved only with pounds of radium at price that not even the most sef-sacrificng philanthrophy could pay.
 What we have here is valuable by-product Of purely theoretical research into the structure of the atom Just as Faraday never dreamed that, as the result of his discovery of induction, cities would some day be electrically illuminated and that Niagara Falls would milk the and suck dirt cut of a carpet with electric motors. so the men who have been training high-speed infinitesimal bullets at atoms did not dvince that out of their work would way of aleviating the suffering of millions For the speed at which protons, deu- tons and other bullets must be fired at matter

 laboratory that he has succeeded in producing what is apparently the simplest and safest method oi hurling projectiles at million volts-a method which has been applied with great in the physical laboratory and the hospital of the Uni versity of California and which has been adopted by pr. Wood and his associates. The out come is not only high voltage but entirely new type of X-ray tube by which six patients can be treated at the same time at low cost.

ENCOURAGING BUSINESS.

Judging from the writings and opinions of the press observers at Washington, coupled with numer- direct acts and statements by the Adminstra- tion, after two years of steering careful and to considerable degree successful but changing towards the two main objectives Recovery and Re- form at times sailing along with Reform, with the apparent expectations that through Reform, Recov- cry would be picked up enroute and lowed safely into port, the Administration to feel that than Reform is needed to bring home Recovery.
 As consequence during the past few months more and more encouragements have been offered to Business with the hope that through accelerated business the unemployment slack would be taken up and the ultimate goal of Recovery more readily reached.
 Among the definite Administration acts to en- courage business have been: The renewal of the automobile code, the encouragement given Secretary Ropers Business and Advisory Planning Council the letting go of some of the leading brain trusters the tendency on the part of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, under Chairman Jesse Jones to lend to business. for example MT Jones in a recent statement said that the corporation was prepared, on reasonable assurance of repayment, to arrange loans for the development of pulp and paper mills in the South if local interests of the Southern pine belt put up half of the capital, the REC would .go along with them" in financing mill construction
 Considering these and innumerable other admin istrative trends toward helping business so that it in turn may expedite recovery Alaska should feel fortunate in having it's major industries able to finance themselves, to keep solvent and maintain employment.
 With the National Administration now definitely encouraging business to take heart through many ways. it is logical for the Territory of Alaska to encourage it's present industries and through this encouragement to those already in operation in the Territory effective invitation for more industries to come in, will be made From all of which the Territory whole will benefit increase its produc ton from Alaska's vast resources and offer addi- tional employment and opportunities to all those who live in it.

The case of Sam Opach against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company and Dr. H. c. DeVigne, company physician. was dismissed in the District Court today on motion of the plaintiff, who was represented by Frank H. Foster and B. G. Grigsby
 In making his motion, counsel for Opach stated that an investi- gation of the facts had satisfied him that Opach could not recover and he therefore asked that the case be dismissed. This case, which was filed last summer is now disposed of and Dr. H. c. DeVighne entirely exonerated from the charge of malpractice which was alleged in the suit. and the company from responsibility.

Our Book Consumption.
(New York Times.)

Americans not great book readers by com parison with England Last year we published some thing like 5000 titles and old, against very nearly 16000 titles absorbed by the British public To be sure, titles do not accurately cir culaton. Over here a best-seller will do perhaps five times as well in Great Britain. On the other hand, it is probable that the average novel sells better there. With own books it is apt to be feast or famine
 But one thing which the number of book titles does obviously is the range of reader in terest There we find that Great Britain, with something one-third of population, con- sumes twice as many books. This would make British per capita literary curiosity five times as strong as ours Some allowance must be made for the fact that England publishes for Dominions and colonies. and even for the American market. A considerable part of population does not read books in the England language. But when all is said the British retain a big lead.

had come off The leg was prop erly set, the answer says, but the portion of the bone from which the bone covering had been re- moved healed slowly because it did not receive the nourishment SUD- piled by the bone covering. This slow healing was not due in any way to the lack of skill on the part of the physician but entirely to the ugly character of the break, it was stated.
 At the time or the accident Op- ach was paid compensation by the Alaska Juneau to the amount of $2,700, the amount provided for the entire loss of a leg. though, it is said, the leg will in time get well.
 J. A. Hellenthal, who represented Dr. DeVighne and the Alaska Ju- neau, said that the action taken by Opach and his council in dis missing the case reflects much credit upon their sense of fairness.
