Bankers Tighten Up.
A few weeks ago private bankers
refused to buy regular State war
rants designed to yield 3 per cent
or less, the until-recently prevailing
rate. Their apathy was attributed
by anti-ham-and-eggs sources to
the pension warrant threat"
State employees were left with the
prospect of payless pay days. Ham
and eggs leaders suggested the State
offer warrants in small denomina-
tions to the public. Banking syndi-
Gates finally took several blocks
at rates yielding about per cent
The San Francisco Stock Ex-
change, one of the country's largest
outside of New York, threatened to
move to Reno because of the 3 per
cent gross income tax clause
Some economists asserted this tax
on top of the 3 per cent sales tax
and other imposts would ruin many
businesses operating on narrow
margins.

President Takes Action To
Halt Rising Prices On Sugar

some spectators and other
holders have apparently taken
| advantage of this situation to ad-
vance prices rapidly and capture
Windfall profits
"A great number of complaints
have been made within the past
few days that the quota restric-
tions on sugar marketing are
making it difficult and costly for
housewives and industrial users
to get enough sugar to supply do
nestle needs"
The enactment of the sugar
quota law was brought about by
the fact that in normal times,
America, with Cuba, Puerto Rico
Hawaii, and the Philippines, pro-
duces far more sugar than do
mestic consumption demands.
In his statement, Mr.. Roose-
welt reminded sugar producers
that the quotas may be re-instat-
ed if such a step should become
necessary for the welfare of the
producers.
Secretary Wallace discussed
rising food prices with President
Roosevelt Monday but told report
ers he had nothing to say about
them now.

Complaints that sugar was toe
costly and too scarce prompted
President Roosevelt Monday to
add, with one stroke of his pen,
some 100000 tons of the commo-
dity to the potential supply avail
able to the American consumer.
This action, expected to check
the recent rise in price, was TAX
en- by signing proclamation
which temporarily discarded the
present legal limitation upon the
quantity of sugar which may be
sold upon the domestic market
this year.
In a statement, Mr.. Roosevelt
said his action was necessitated
by the increased world demand
due to the European war. by un-
usually heavy purchases by con-
sumers and by apparent specu-
lative activity.

Tomorrow" meditated Barry,
making his swift silent way
through bit of forestland where
he crossed tiny upland valley
toward his new hideout, "I'll go
see my folks. I've got to tell them
about Robert"
AS he passed through a small
open glade a shot rang out and
a bullet cleft the air, close to his
ear, and with it came an eXultant
shout:
Got you, Laredo! Got you, you
dog!"
Barry leaped as deer leaps,
clear of the opening among the
trees and into a patch of brush,
and leaping fell and rolled and
brought up crouching, his own
! gun in hand, in shadowy July.
A second shot and a third whiz-
zed over his head.
Hold it, or I'll burn you down!
I'm not Laredo. You've got the
wrong man"
There was a silence out of
which finally a puzzled voice,
sounding disgruntled, mittered:

She clutched him, and whisper

"Then come with me-"
She seemed for a moment,
while their hands were locked so
tightly together, to be of mind
to go with him. But, NO." she
said. 'Tll be all right. Anyhow,

The evening appointed for the
meeting with Lucy found him at
Lookout Point, high on the
mountain side above the Judges
fine house, hidden in a bruShy
thicket from which he could
watch the steep zigzag trail.
Dark came and there was no
sign of Lucy. He waited an hour,
then withdrew higher up into the
mountains. He came back each
sunset time; on his third coming
he saw something which had
been here all the time, waiting
for him, passing unnoticed.

PART III
OF 4TH INSTALLMENT

1t was an hour later when Bar
ry had his second visitor. A slim
white figure bent over him. It
was Lucy in a long nightgown
with something thrown over her
shoulders. Ae he reared up on his
elbow she said, SSH" almost at
his ear.
Incoherent at first, her rushing
words only perplexed him anew.
But he caught. GO! Oh, go
quickly! Get up, and go! You
must-You can, can't you?
You're not hurt too badly, are
your"
He sat on the edge of the bed
and Lucy's face was so close to
his own that, in what dim light
filtered in from the stars, he
could see her eyes in a white
face, and her eyes were big with
fright. Even her voice, whisper
ing as it was, was charged with
terror.
1t came in a wild tumble of
words. There were things which
she wanted to hold back, which
she had not thought that she
could speak of to anyone, and
yet in her frantic state before she
was through he had nearly the
whole stnrv.
First of all, she had known that
the Judge lied this afternoon
when he told Barry that Zachary
Blount had taken Barry'S sister
out of town-for Lucy herself
had seen Zachary and the Judge
together going into store just
before the Judge joined her to
drive home. And she had seen
and overheard what occurred at
the stable.
'He-that man-your cousin, he
is the Laredo Kid" she told Bar
ry fearfully. And then she told
the rest of it, and ended with her
frantic plea: You'll go! Oh, Bar

from the bed, cropping for his hat

Six Languages Will
 Be Used During Mass
Six or More Priests to Chant in Different Tongues at
 Solemn ConceebratiOn at C. U. August 20

Washington, Aug. 19-For the first time anywhere in the United States a solemn concelebration of the mass with at least six and probably nine priests chanting in different lan- guages will be sung on Tuesday August 29, in the shine of the Im- maculate Conception at the Catholic University of America. This cele- bration, which is scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and which consumes the better part of two hours, is part of the celebration of the university's golden jubilee, It falls within the study week of the first Pax Romano Congress to be held in this country, which opens at the university on Sunday August 27.
 Arrangements are now being made at the university for this occasion Preparations are quite extensive, in- asmuch as this mass, while in the main corresponding to the Solemn Mass of the Latin rite, will be sung in the Byzantine, or oriental rites All of the plans have not been com- pleted, but it is possible that some nine languages will be used during the confederation. These would in- clude Greek, Arabic, Russian, Ru- thenian and Slavonic.
 The Liturgy to be used will be that of St. John Chrysostom, in which there are marked differences from the Latin liturgy as customarily fol- lowed in the Catholic churches of this country.
 According to the present plans, the chief celebrant will be the Rt. Rev Monsignor Archimandrite Bernard Ghosn, D. D., of the Melchite rite When Monsignor Ghosn officiated al a concelebration last May in New York, in which three priests includ. ing himself participated, the other two priests were Rev. Giro Pinola s. T. D., of the Italo-Greek rite, anc Rev. Andrew Rogosh, s. T. L., of thu Russian rite, who will assist Mon signor Ghosn at the shrine also.
 Those in charge of the arrange ments also hope to have Rev. JohI Rider. s. J., who is coming iron Esthonia, sing the mass in Slavonic since he is a priest of the Byzantin rite and member of Pax Romano It is expected too, that a Ukraniai priest will participate at the altar and efforts are being made to brin the Ukranian choirs from Baltimor and Philadelphia to sing the re sponses.

A large crowd will gather this afternoon at Lake Quassapaug for the second annual state field day of the odd Fellows and their auxiliary the Rebekahs, the proceeds of which are to go to help the I. O. O. F. home in Groton.
 The program will open at 2:30 p. m. with an address of welcome by Grand Master William J. Barton of Bridgeport.

"In these two counties" he says fare the answers to every question, sociological or economic, which the census can raise.

 The scene shifts from house to house as the ques- tioners-Hooser school masters on vacation house. wives, unemployed clerks farmers college students do their door-bel ringing Purpose of the stunt is to determine whether the planned census questions acceptable they stand or must be revamped before being shot at the nation next year.
 Many of the questions are of a personal nature. And some of the census takers were bit afraid of the results when they began sticking their into their neighbors' business Thanks to pre-cam- paign publicity drive by the U. s.

 MIND" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Romans 11:34,36: "Who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? .. For him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.'
 Bible readings include the follow ing passages from Luke II: 34-36: "The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light: but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not arkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, hav- ing no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of candle doth give thee light"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: When Jesus declares that the light of the body is the eye,' he certainly means that light depends upon Mind, not upon the complex humors, lenses, muscles, the iris and pupil, constituting the wis., ual organism" (page 393:25).
