A Hopeful Outlook For the Fall Trade So many business predictions go wrong that everyone ; liatoa tn mnlro thorn nnv mnrp Yet the desire. to Dlan for ? the future and to try to estimate that future is so strong 4hafTt always overcomes the reluctance born ot past aisap- fintments.' 4 The fact that almost every surveyor of the business . scene today looks ahead to higher business levels in the fall tempts even the pessimistic to be hopeful. Here are some of - the indications on which the observers agree pretty unanimously unani-mously : The income of farmers, despite the drop in cotton prices, is mmpctpri to annrnach 1929 levels, and in Durchasine power itrmay even exceed 1929, because farmers will be able to get .-mm . 1 1 It J.

S. prices came nearer the world level and tnus enaDiea me United States to regain some of the world cotton trade which has been gradually slipping away from us. Steel operations continue to hold up at high levels at a season when they usually decline. Despite lower purchases by the auto industry, other buying holds it up in good style. Automobile output itself "holds up in a manner that has sur-i. sur-i. prised, many in the trade, the slight decline being less than fi is usual at this time of year. Operations in this industry, despite shut-downs, are close to a record for the end of a '.' "model year." Sales of six leading mail ordej-htrtrses will come close to a billion dollars this year, not onlyyan increase of 21 per cent over last year, but far greater than those of 1929. This is another of the national enterprises which is actually breaking break-ing through 1929 highs, the objective that must be attained if anything approximating the 1929 kind of prosperity is to be reached. V v J T -I The outlook for better farm purchasing power as a itimulus to increased fall business is aided by factors like fhis: Farm mortgage debt is far lower than during the 1929 ira, and pays a far lower rate of interest. Farmers' taxes ire still perhaps 30 per cent lower than they were eight years ago. This better status of the farmer has been revealing reveal-ing itself in a firmer status of farm values than has been seen since 1932. Thus, in the fall season when business activity tends to - slump off somewhat, there is every reason to expect this year that'brrsiness'wrfl hoM trp- splendidly or even gain somewhat. All of which augurs well for the future, and gives hope that super-X929 production levels lie ahead that will make some dent in the unemployment problem. For in making mak-ing a big dent in that problem lies the solution for all the others. A new silencer makes a rifle shot absolutely inaudible, a boon to people who are tired of hearing war reports from Europe. Germany has a method of recording sounds made by growing plants. Maybe it could be adapted to ferreting out budding rumors. SIDE GLANCES ... By George Clark Q-11 COWL 137 8V Wt ttRVtCt. IMC T M. KEG. U. a W- Qv !Pardon meI'm looking for. my wife."

Bright Moments IN GREAT LIVES Infuriated Leader Maddened By CIO PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21 (UJ? A. t. Simonds, president of the strike-bound Abrasive company, com-pany, said today that he would tear the plant down brick by brick and spend the rest of his life fishing, before he e-av in to the Committee for Industrial organization. Simonds arrived from FitcTv burg, Mass., last night after 28 sit-aown strikers were arrested and charged with forcible entrv. The strikers had climbed a high picket fence and occupied the plant, after a union-company truce expired. Simonds is head of the com pany's parent organization. Sim onds Saw and Steel company at .tfiicnDurg. "They can smash the machin ery if they want to," Simonds said. "If I were the sole owner Td smash it myself."

By simply stepping on the handle, you lift the wheels off the ground, slip the sharpener across . the cross-bar. cross-bar. While one hand presses the abrasive against the wheel, the other is used to turn the cutters. cut-ters.

IIEROD THE GREAT Herod 1, otherwise known as Herod the Great, son of Antipater, was professedly an adherent of the religion of Judah, though by birth an Idumean,iby descent an Edom- ite or one of the posterity of Esau, all whom the Jews hated; and of all Edomites ,not one was more bitterly detested than was Herod the king. He was tyrannical and merciless, sparing neither friend nor foe who come under suspicion of being a possible hindrance to his ambitious designs. He had his wife and several of his sons, as well as others of his blood kindred, cruelly murdered; and he put to death nearly all of the great national na-tional council, the Sanhedrin. His reign was one of revolting cruelty and unbridled oppression. Only when in danger of inciting a national na-tional revolt or in fear of incurring the displeasure of his imperial f master, the Roman emperor, did he stay his hand in any undertak ing. In the Life of Christ, by Can non Farrar, we read: "It must have ' been very shortly after the murder of the innocents that Herod died. Only five days before his death he had made a frantic attempt at suicide, and had order ed the execution of -his eldest son Antipater, His death-bed, which once more reminds us of Henry VIII, Was accompanied toy circumstances circum-stances of peculiar horror; and it has been asserted that he died of aloathsome disease, which is hard ly mentioned in history, except in che case of men who have been rendered infamous by an atrocity of persecuting zeal. On his bed of intolerable anguish, in that splendid and luxurious palace which he built for himself, under the palms of Jericho, swollen with disease and scorched by thirst, ulcerated ul-cerated externally and glowing inwardly with a 'soft slow fire, surrounded by plotting sons and plundering slaves, detesting all and detested by all, longing foi death as a release from his tortures tor-tures yet dreading it as the beginning be-ginning of worse terrors, stung by remorse yet still unslaked with murder, a horror to all around him yet in his guilty conscience a worse terror to himself, devoured oy the premature corruption of an anticipated grave, eaten by worms as though visibly smitten, by the anger of God's wrath after 70 years of successful villainy, the wretched old man whom men call-3d call-3d Great, lay in savage frenzy awaiting his last hour. As he Knew tnat none would shed one ear .for him, he determined that chey should shed many for them-lelves them-lelves and issued an order that, under pain of death, the DrinciDal families of the kingdom and the snieis or the tribes should come to Jericho. They came, and then, shutting them in the hippodrome, he secretly commanded his sister Salome that at the moment of ais death they should all be massacred. mass-acred. And so, choking as it were with blood, devising massacres in In its very delirium the soul ol Herod passed forth into the night." The great Bismarck, chancellor chancel-lor of Germany, did not believe that the standing of any man should be affected by his faith. One day in the relch President Ludwig von Gerlach took Bis marck to task. "You do not believe, be-lieve, then, that it is wrong to say 'Do your duty as a citizen; citi-zen; I do not inquire as to your faith!" Gerlach asked. "Certainly "Certain-ly not," replied Bismarck. "Then," said Gerlach, "you certainly fa vor the emancipation of the Jews. "Not at aU,H said Bismarck; "I do not need to inquire as to the faith of a Jew; I can see that." "In Tune With the MbdT By X HEPOKTEK Since childhood I have allowed myself to put up with .aft obsession obses-sion that moonlight kept ' me awake. . X suppose, thatback. in the early years before memory beS gan -consciously to jelL I heard someone else say that the moon had kept him awake the night before- . Whatever its origin, and, whether wheth-er romantic or not, the notion has persisted for more' than half a .lifetime until this summer. In all those years I have spent quite a little time pulling- down window shades and plugging up various cracks' and chinks in sleeping rooms here and there all over the United States, so the light of the beautful moon could not get in. I chose, when possible, a sleeping sleep-ing room on the ndrth aide of a house, on the theory that the moon, which ordinariliy rides a sort of a southern circuit, wouldn't have as straight a shot at my windows. Sometimes when the moon was full and I was aware of it, even tho every shade was tightly drawn and every crack of light barred out, I would lie awake and believe be-lieve that the moon had some strange power to wreck my sleep. The mopn has not been my foe, but friend. I have enjoyed him, or her to the full. My sleepless notion has not been that the moon has plagued me but rather that there was some uncanny affinity of moonlight that took my slumber away. This summer my moonlight superstition has been knocked in the head for all time. The family moved to a new domicile, and I was assigned (helped select) a room with three large windows on its southern exposure and one on its west. The first night in the new home we were all tired from the move (I can hear ironical laughter when this is read at home: Me tired from the move!), and a full moon was shining outside. When I went to my bedroom and started as usual to let down ail the shades, there weren't ariy I ' No other bunk was easily avail- A able, so J decided tbUe down In that moonlight filled : room. ! andf rest, not sleep, until, morning.

CHAPTER II TVTO mors shots were fired, but Oflficer Jim Burke caught a glimpse of frozen drama when he entered Potter's store. Mutual surprise, astonishment, seemed to be written on everyone's face. Fred Potter came to life first "Now, now, Jim, it's all right! It's all right!" Fred greeted him. "We just had a little" "The hell it is! I wisht I'd killed him! I'll do it yet!" Paul Colter was almost shouting it He struggled strug-gled to be free from his. father and his sister who held him. "Now, now, gentlemen let's all calm down let's all " Fred Potter and Mr. Blake, Sr., were bustling about in a silly manner, both talking and both saying nothing that aided Officer Burke. Carolee Colter pleaded, with her brother to be quiet The policeman made a quick and unexcited survey of the situation, situa-tion, then addressed his remarks to a rather handsome, well-dressed well-dressed but somewhat bloody young man sitting awkwardly on the floor. 'What about you, brother? You shot? Who's done what here, anyhow?" any-how?" Stuart Blake looked up. He nursed his chin in the palm of his hand. Blood dripped between his fingers. But he gazed at the policeman and grinned. "Listen, officer," said he, "don't ever kid a stranger about hunting for gold. Might touch a sore spot. And especially don't make a pass at his pretty sister." 1 '4WHO you t1 kiddin'?" w Not Stuart Blake's, but a feminine voice, answered the officer. offi-cer. , "He was not kidding!" spat out Carolee. "He was insulting! He got to, mocking, my brother, as if he were a yokel. It's he that ought to be arrested, not Paul." "Paul now, who'll he be?' asked Officer Burke. "Wait wait a minuterU tell the whole, story, Jim!" Fred. Pot-: , ter had collected his wits. "It was what you might call an accident Won't do to have a mess in this store. Everybody's guilty, no body's guilty. Blake, herer called this man 'Si' and acted smart without reason, right enough! Happens the roan is named Silas, and 'Si' Is a sore point , with him. . "Hi brother, Paul, i quicktempered quick-tempered gosh, man, you're a vfool to be shooting like that! and when Silas cut Blake with his ifist Paul jumped up and acci- r Titally . knocked over his. rifle, icnt off? but done no harm.i I r" v5stlfy. tov this accident at -crters, JimJ that to, i Blake Sluart Blake looked up.

Officer Burke has been on that beat as long as Fred has been in that store. They understood each other. "Fred, you're a damned liar, but I believe you! Accidenfc.it is. But what's the girl to do.with this?" "Nothing. She was just" But young Blake interrupted here. "Yes," she had, officer," said Stuart "She saved my. life! That rifle was aimed I mean it was accidentally falling right at me when she jerked it aside!" "Yeah? Thought you told me you was gettin' fresh) with her?"i "I was. But I didn't mean it All I said was, 'You've got one pretty nugget in the family already.' al-ready.' Her brother took it wrong. I'm sorry gentlemen, and 1 apologize, apolo-gize, J butted in on your affairs; I'm good at that but I don't often get shot at for it" flHEN Stuart walked over to Si-r" Si-r" las Colter and offered, to shake hands. Silas only glared, motionless. motion-less. Paul, too, was openly hostile. hos-tile. Hatred shone in his eyes. For the- Colter brothers, young. Blake epitomized all that they had come to despise. Clannish, um-f fined, surly, they distrusted . anybody who . duns , hearer the . other end of the. social scale. , v v -"Well I it's all I can say, now, Stuart wasbbviously embaftassed: This was his . first: experience at baying an apology '- refused.- And he, too,, was out of his accustomed setting. He dropped his hand and stared helplessly at the Colters. Blessed be the peacemakers, and Fred Potter is one of than. In 1 seconds he had separated the two groups, had the Blakes going toward to-ward the. door and the Colters huddled near the stove in silence. Only: Carolee Colter's eyes foL lowed the Blakes.
