Reduction from January 1, 1936, to January 1, 1937, was greater in the western than in the eastern Corn Belt States. i A new type g lathe has been developed abroad, which is controlled by a photoelectric cell and is said to be capable of producing objects as shown by a drawing, without the intervention of the human hand. After the machine has been adjusted, the cell scans the drawing and automatically produces the object in the indicated shape and dimensions. Mrs. Vincent Astor Winthiop W.

The interruption is so brief that it is imperceptible to the radio audience. I ,; J I 1936.

He looked around cautiously Ed then took Gerald behind a rock. "Go straight ahead," he said, "until you come to another stream. Follow that stream for one hour and you will see a cave high on the bank. The cave has many old stones before the door. Go in there and you will be safe. It is the Cave of the Moon and the Zapotec are afraid to enter it. If you reach the cave safely you can walk right through the mountain to the next valley. There the Zapotec cannot go." Gerald says he feared that the Indian boy was leading him into a trap. But he looked honest and Gerald decided to take the chance.

Sunset in the tropics he knew was like the falling of curtain in a play. Darkness followed it almost immediately. With his heart in his mouth he turned suddenly and ran up the slope toward the cave.
