of which British biographers seem
master. Lord Melbourne was
Queen Victoria's first prime min
lister. His reputation where women
were concerned was not too good
and Victoria, of course, was Vic

sible for the happy start to her
reign and he found his heart
stirred again by the girl Queen.

Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, Gen.
MacArthur's intelligence officer,

Neither book will settle the Mac

Another fabulous figure, al

This is a Toynbee year In history.
Against the sombre background
Of milleniums of the rise and de-
cay Of civilizations. Prof. Arnold J.
Toynbee holds out considerable
hope for the brief epoch that Is
important to us.
The author Of "A Study Of His
tory" (Oxford)-a modest title
believes that q society that has
tapped the enormous forces Of
atomic energy win never rest until
it has brought these forces under
control Of single world authority.
And before this. he forsees a parti-
ton Of the wor1d-peacefulIy it is
hoped-between the two nations
which divide the major power Of
the world between them.
The four volumes now published
bring to ten the number in this
great work. Many readers will
wait for a summary volume such
as was issued after the publication
of the first six volumes. But the
publication of the 10 volumes
should confound the cynics who
believe erudition Is not saleable.

Cuts Costs, PayroIIs;
Builds Up Cash

While litigation continues to
hold up the proposed merger Of
Lanston Monotype Machine Co.
into Lanston Industries, Inc, the
operations and financial position
of the former company have inn
proved materially in the first five
months of its fiscal year which
began March l.
Board Chairman Murray Me-
/ Connell today reported that an
nual expenses have been reduced
by more than $500. 900 and the
number of employees reduced
from 625 to 400.
"Our cash has increased from
$139,722 to $428, 1894. and our
accounts payable have been re-
duced from $161,950 to $19,828, !"
he added. Improbable BUSH
ness. including the much-publi-
cized contract with International
Business Machines, on which the
company lost over 100000 last
year, has been terminated"
The company now is operat-
ing on "close to a profitable ba-
SIS" he said. "A thorough over
hauling of the management and
administrative machinery has
been in progress"
His comment on the five
months was contained in the de-
layed 61st annual report of Lam
ston Monotype Machine Co. for
the fiscal year ended Febru-
airy %.
Mr.. Mcconnell said the fiscal
years results were unsatisfactory
although sales reached $4,O0l,-

the previous year. Company ex-
penses rose even more.
Cost Of sales increased by
$845,872, selling expenses rose
$21l, 1853 and administrative and
general expense climbed $751;
