"AIice Through The
Looking Glass"

In Alice through the Looking
Glass" when one of the characters
ran forward with all his might, he
found himself further back than
where he started. The harder he
tried to go ahead, the further be-
hind he went.
The Federal Power commission
has developed a theory of book
keeping: and this theory is i'm
posed upon all companies engaged
in Interstate natural gas business.
The theory specifies that the more
valuable d property becomes, the
less it is worth. In other words, it
is theory of vanishing values.
According to the FPCs new eco
nomic theory. reserves to cover de-
preciation of the value of an en-
tire natural gas industrial plant
including we'll. property and equip
ment, must be set up out of profits.
Each year the value of the holdings
must be deprecated by the amount
of the reserves. Accordingly. the
longer the company remains In
business. and the more successful
ly it functions-and ordinarily
would be considered to be increas-
ing its actual and goodwill value
the less ii is worth. In the course
of a few years. the entire plant is
written OF in theory it has nC
value-and gas rates then are bas
ed by the FPC on a mo value
figure. By this curious reasoning
property with tremendous ecOnom
ic worth has become. according tt
FPC. an economic ghost.
In the history of this nation, NJ

strangely. Never before has sucl
a theory of vanishing values
been conceived Actually, it ha
been conjured upon the weir,

Saving The World Is
Very Costly

The war has been over. over
there. for long period of time.
But this international responsible
ity assumed by Uncle Sam is cost
ing this nation of ours about 10
billion dollars a year for military
expenses. Every incOmetaXpayer
in the United States is paying too
big share of taxes for saving a
world that doesn't seem to want
to be saved. Unless matters move
better before long there will be a
break with Russian-which seems
to indicate that the United Nations
will suffer from the same pains as
/ the League of Nations after World

BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-Dr. Milo
Hellman, rs, professor of dentistry
at Columbia University and since
1917 research associate in physical
anthropology at the Museum OF
Natural History, died yesterday.
He was best known for his re-
search on prehistoric man and apes.
His work eliminated in 1888 in an
expedition with DR.. William K. Greg
ory, paleontologist of the American
Museum of Natural History, to the
African Transvaal.
They returned with data on an
ancient skull combining ape and
human characteristics to an extent
never before observed.
DR.. Hellman was an authority on
the teeth of humans and animals.
and in the early 1920's collaborated
with DIR. Gregory in the study Of
the Dryopitheous, huge forest ape
in India several million years ago.
The ape was held by some theorists
to be the common ancestor, or a
close relative of the ancestor, OF
man and the other primates.

Strove for Legible
Attractive Letters
BY fhe Assoeiotsd Prsss

MARLBORO, N. ". May l2.--
Frederic w. Cloudy, 81, who designed
much of the type used IN American
publications, died yesterday Of heart
disease.
A great part Of the printing in this
and other countries Is done with
some of the 100 type faces he de-
signed. He strove for simple, legible
and attractive letters instead of the
fancier styles Of the 10Th century.
Born in Bloomington, Ill, and
reared in South Dakota, Mr.. Goudy
learned bookkeeping In his fathers
Office. Unsuccessful in that work,
he made his first break into the pub
fishing field, which had become his
hobby, with the Camelot Press In
Chicago in 1895. It failed.
In 1908 Mr.. Goudy again entered
the publishing business, establishing
the Village Press in Park Ridge, III.
He moved 1t first to bingham,
Mass, and then to New York. It
burned in 1908. He reestablished it
and II 1894 moved it to Marlboro.
There fire again struck his plant
disastl ously on January 26, 1889
The foundry and print shop, housed
in an ancient water mill, burned
and in its ruins were lost rs orig
inal designs and matrices of LOT type
faces.
Mr.. Goudy called these the "soul
of his foundry"
In addition the fire destroyed the
press on which the great English
printer. William Morris, printed and
the Kelmscott edition of Chaucer.
At first detected, Mr.. Goudy, then
nearly IA, remarked after the fire.
Its not really all gone In smoke.
The effect of my work, its influence
