to resist invasion. Then overnight
the danger passed. When the sun

vanished.
This interesting chapter Of the
world war was revealed here by
Carl Olaf RABIES, q member of
the kings guard in his native
Denmark at the time of internal
tional conflict.
Denmark was prepared for
the attempt at invasion and
seizure of her important set

earnestly across his new bar on

Denmark was honeycombed

KINDLY KING
How long he was mapping he
will never know. A light touch on
his arm awakened him. As his
eyes flashed open he was staring
directly into the face of his mon
arch. The presence of the king
always is a signal to cali out the
entire guard.
Contritely apologizing for nap

the smiling assurance:

Extension of Rediscount
Facilities to Insta||ment
Paper Hailed.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 28.-H. l.,
Wynegar. president Of Commercial
Credit Co., late yesterday visualized
sounder instalment financing as q
possible outgrowth Of extension OF
Federal Reserve rediscount facilities
to instalment paper OF approved
quality.
1T is presumed" said Wynegar
that the banks will now require OF
their finance customers that install
ment sales be based definitely on the
general principle that collections will
keep pace with depreciation at all
times.
IF this general formula is enforced,
it will do much to eliminate instalment
sales of certain kinds of merchandise
that in my opinion heretofore have
been improperly financed on the in
stalment basis"
Edwin c. Vogel, chairman Of the
Executive Committee of Commercial
Investment Trust Corp, another in
stalment finance concern, said action
of the Federal Reserve Board con-
stituted "a gratifying recognition Of
the fact that under modern trade and
social conditions instalment credit oc-
cupies sound and necessary place in
