NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Following the sleeping declirtes in Tuesday’s sessions, heavy selling took place in early dealings today due to liquidation of accounts impaired by the decline. This selling gave the general list a heavy tone and new lows on the move were forced in many active issues. C. & O. lost, 1% to 116%; Hudson, % to 116%; Woolworth, 1% to 198%; General Motors, % to 116%, and United States Steel, % to 132%. Aggressive selling was resumed in the late morning and new lows were forced in practically all the speculative leaders. Steel dipped to 131%, off % from Tuesday's close; Amerigbr. Smelting to 131%, off 1; GenElectric to 333%, off 1%; Baldwin to 123%, off 1%; American Locomotive to 112%, off 1%. Industrial Alcohol at 63% was off 1% and International Combustion at 64% was off 1. But the decline was prevented from getting out of hand by the strong banking Vsupport which made its appearance’ among the leaders on the scale downward. This accumulation > checked rapidity of the decline and Imparted a somewhat steadier tone to the general list. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings today totaled $3,349,000. Debits were $0,605,000. NEW YORK CLEARINGS B v United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Clearing*, $995,000,000; balance*. $118,000,000. STOCK BROKERS ELECT John F. Wild Heads Indianapolis Exchange. John F.

Bv United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 20.—Grain futures dropped fractionally at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Wheat traders went into the pit decidedly bearish In sentiment. Discouraged bulls sold wheat at the outset because Liverpool sagged one pence. Holders less confident of their position also liquidated freely. The reactionary wheat market attracted profit selling in corn. Oats were comparatively steady considering weakness in other grains. Trade was light.

THRESHERS OF INDIANA MEET Increase In Cost Likely for This Year. Six thousand thrashing machines, representing an investment of more than $30,000,000, were in operation last year in Indiana. This was the estimate of the Indiana Brotherhood of Thrashermen, meeting at Tomlinson Hall today. An Increase in the cost of thrashing Is probable this year, lt was said, - although until the county thrashing associations ■ confer with the farm groups, definite information is not available. Late fall rains are blamed for. this. Vinson MarS?cHd, Indianapolis attorney, will address the session tonight. PLANES OFF FOR CUBA Naval Ships Leave Hampton Roads to Join Scouting Fleet. Bv United Prest NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 20.—Twen-ty-five sea planes left Hampton Roads naval base on a flight to Guartanamo Bay, Cuba, today. They will join the scouting fleet at the winter base. The trip will take from ten days to two weeks with stops at Charleston, S. C., Fernandina, Miami and Key West

SCHOOL HELPS

EF you take the lens of t>n ordinary magnifying glass and hold it to the sun so that, the rays of sunlight passing through Jhe lens form a’ tiny bright spot on a piece of wood or paper, the wood or paper will start at once to smoke and smolder, and if the lens is held in position long enough, flames will, burst' forth. In the “burning glass” experiment all the rays of sunlight which pass through the lens are bent and concentrated upon a single the focus. Each ray carries with it, so to speak, a definite quantity of heat, and when all this heat is concentrated in one place, it is enough to start a blaze. But It Is not as “burning glasses” that lenses are chiefly useful. Their power to, bend and focus rays Is used principally In telescopes, microscopes, spectacles, and cameras, to focus the light rays rather than heat rays. Most of these principles of the lens can be demonstrated with an ordinary magnifying glass. Hold it close to some small object, and the object will appear much larger than it Is. Hold it as ajrm'B length and look through It at some distant object and the object will appear upside down and much smaller. Go into a dark corner of a room and let the light from the window shine through the lens upon a piece of paper. By moving the lens backward and forward you will soon be able to cast upon the paper an inverted Image of the brightly-lighted window and the scene outside. Many Kinds of Lenses The magnifying lens Is only oneof many forms. Its two sides are sections of equal spheres, and such a lens, which is always thickest in the middle, is known as a doubleconvex lens. Other lenses may have both sides concave and thus be thickest at, the edges; or one side

- THE LENS— It Makes Possible a Great Part of Human Knowledge.

of the lens may be flat and the other side concave or convex. In general the concave lenses, instead of converging-' thfe rays of light to a point, spread them out or diverge them in just the opposite way. For this reason objects seen through a double-orancave lens appear right side up and smaller than they really are. By varying the curvature of surfaces of lenses differences in focal length may be "obtained. that Is, difference in the distance between the optical center of the focus. They may be ground also •ty throw distorted images, as In the case of spectacle lenses which are adjusted to combine properly with the lens of the eyes. If ihe shape of the eye lens is distorted by what is called “astigmatism” the spectacle lens is distorted in the opposite manner and the combination of the opposed distortions produce a normal image on the retina. Refraction law The general optical law which governs the use of lerses is called the law of refraction of light, and It may be summed up as follows: When a ray of light passing through a lighter medium (air) strikes the surface of a denser medium (glass) at an oblique angle, the ray Is bent or refracted toward ice perpendicular to that surface, and when It passes out again from ihe denser glass to the lighter air, It is bent away from the perpendicular to the second surface. The diagrams illustrate this law clearly. Lenses are "combined optical lnstru-' ments for various purposes. For instance, the enlarged Image produced by one magnifying glass may be passed through a second lens and enlarged again, giving us the principle of the microscope. For accurate work, lenses are usually made of tyvo or more layers of different kinds of glass closely cemented together. This Is done to

correct color aberration or the tendency that any special kind of glass may have to separate the light rays koto colors and so form an Imperfect Image, one surrounded with color. Crown glass, for instance, is used with flint glass, and each corrects the aberration of the other. Must Be Perfect The manufacture of high grade lenses is one of the most delicate of all mechanical operations. The curvature of the surfaces must be mechanically perfect, and they must have an extremely high polish to prevent any stray light ray from wandering out of its proper course. The difficulties increase as the lenses grow larger, and the immense glasses used in the big telescopes require months and even years of labor and experiment in their preparation. A tiny air bubble in the glass or the stroke of a workman's gritty Anger over the surface may spoil everything. The surface of a lens Is shaped by grinding the glass in an iron mold. Finer and finer grinding materials such as powerful epiery or carborundum are used in succession, ending up with a red iron peroxide called “rouge,” which gives the lens its high polish.

“Auto death list nears 800 than last year’s toU”—is the headline of a Chicago daily. City ordinances and traffic regulations have not succeeded in reducing the number of accidents. Why? The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes the right state of mind toward driving has not been created. The driver of an automobile must consider human life more important than any business urgency. He must realize that a few minutes of time gained may mean death, and that a life can never be restored. A moment’s carelessness and a little child is crushed beneath the wheels. A recldess risk and an old man is knocked down, never to walk again. The driver of an automobile must feel the weight of his responsibility. He must be willing to take the time and the extra precautions needed to play safe at; any cost. This necessary state of mind cannot be compelled by law. It can be produced only by an appeal to the intelligence and human sympathy of man for man. The Standard Oil Cdmpany (Indiana) believes that this state of mind can be created, to a large extent, among drivers of other vehicles. # 1 The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has inaugurated a system of traffic and safety rules, which all drivers of Company owned trucks <?r cars are required to observe. These regulations apply to every employe of the Company and every driver is asked to pledge hknself to observe them. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) considers its traffic rules of primary importance. It realizes that success depends upon the spirit of service and co-operation in the employes themselves. It knows that a state of mind cannot be compelled by law. It appeals to the loyalty ana sound judgment of its men. They obey its traffic rules because they want to, because they know that they are right. ' This Company has proved by its own experience that the state of mmd which avoids accidents can be created and cultivated among drivers of its trucks and cars. Its attitude, reflected in its rules, has taken the first long step in the direction of creating this state of mmd. This “service of safety” is but one of the many services this Company offers to the'pubHc. which makes its success in industry possible.
