Average Stock Prices

Average price of twenty industrial Mocks for Wednesday, was 154.63, off .65. Averag’d price of twenty rails for Wednesday. was 109.53. off .30. lit/ United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Disappointment in speculative circles over the failure of the United States Steel Corporation directors to increase the 50 cents extra quarterly payment on the common stock was reflected in the heavy selling of that stock which opened at 132% to 132%, off 1% to iy 8 , from the previous close. This heaviness in the markets’ leading stock was not transmitted to the general list, however,' where a fairly, steady tone prevailed with early price changes about equally divided between advances and recessions. General Motors advanced % * to f 19%, and Du Pont at 223% was up 1%, while United States Rubber lost K>o to 83%, and Pacific Oil % to 76. " No progress on the downside was accomplished by the bear crowd in the late morning and resistance to selling displayed by the main body of wtocks encouraged the resumption of constructive activities in special issues around noon. , Pittsburgh and West Virginia stood out in the rail list running up 3% points to 117%, jumping a point between sales on some transactions. In speculative circles this action wks attributed to the contest for control between Loree and the Van Sweringen interests.

In the Sugar Market

By Thomson & McKinnon NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Sugar futures will .be watehetl today with Darticular interest in the light of what occurred this week in the market for Cuban raws and for refined sugar. Their response to yesterday’s advance in the spot market to the 2 15-32 level and to advancing quotations for refined must have been disappointing to those who were attempting to place a bullish construction on recent per-., lormanees without due regard for the statistical position of the industry. Cutjan producing interests have been credited with a pood deal of hedge selling, mid refiners have been impressed by the reluetanee of \ sugar futures to take their cue from developments in the cost and freight market.

Then McDermott 1 * 1 shrugged his shoulders slightly, and lit a fresh cigaret. is back in town,” he said. “Blew in a couple of weeks ago from Cape Town, with a monkey. a little black boy servant, and a magnificent black diamond from the Kimberley at Tiffany’s. “They say her wardrobe is African. too, with dazzling white linen and a leopard skin coat and whatnot. Always the good showman, Lydia ’’’ Barbara was lisfening intently. “I myself saw a dramatic incident in a restaurant the dsy after she got back. She was dining there with some male hanger-on of exotic aspect. Shouldn’t wonder if he was a sheik in Americanized costume, in-ought back from her travels. “Anyhow, the lady was having a nice time with him. looking over the edge of her wine glass at him with those tawny eyes of hers and lolling back in her new AfricaVr furs. “I watched the poor devil with a mingled sense of envy and pity. Between the moments of dizzy bliss there were moments when he looked the most wretched man aiive. “At last they arose to go. And to my astonishment, I saw that young architect you used to know approaching Lydia from across the room. She did not see him until he was directly in front of her, balding out his hand. And then with a toss of her head, she gave him tlje most beautiful cut you ever saw, and swept out of the, room, with the African oddity following her. "Young Reynolds' stepped back, staring blankly after her. And there were titters on all sides from diners who had seen the incident. It was th<* most perfect example I ever saw of the guilty part ytaking spite out on the innocent victim of his own wrongdoing. Lydia simply couldn t bear the sight of the man, because she had once, injured him.- But evidently' the architect doesn’t know that she had anything to do with the Vale Acres expose.” * •‘Doesn’t know?” gasped Barbara. “No. and it's a crime, too. She's getting all the credit for freeing him in the trial. And he was probably about to thank her for her testimony when she delivered the cut and stalked away. Some da* . when I get a good chitfice, I'm going to tell that young man Where ' e got the tip on Vale Acres. •<l’m not a crusader for justice, or anything like that, but something within me cries for Lydia to get hers." McDermott looked at Barbara and she dropped her eyes. ■•‘He used to be a good friend of mine,” she said, “and lie always gave me the credit for the expose. “All the more reason lor mq to set him right,”, declared McDermott. "But tell me about Fancy. It aee-ns we misjudged that whippersnan-er husband of hers, after all.”

SHE first home editions of the telegraph were out when Barbara emerged from McDermott’s office. She took one and strolled back to the Claypool with it under her arm. In the lobby she sat down to look at it A two-column picture of herself confronted her from the iirsl page. If the picture in the morgue had not looked like a success, this one did. The headline said, "Former Indianapolis girl wins in Gotham.” The story began, •“Indianapolis is as good a town as New York,” says Miss Barbara Hawley, former reporter for the Telegraph, who is visiting in town todaj. Miss Hawley comes directly from New York City, where she has scored a signal success in magazine work. “ ‘l’d as soon work for the Indianapolis Telegraph as for any paper in Manhattan,’ declares Miss llawley." "Oh, my heavens," said Barbara under her breath, and laid the sheet down suddenly. She went up to her room and stood looking in the mirror Ms some minutes. Her clothes were different from Indianapolis clothes. There was more swagger in her bearing. But there were lines about Iter eyes which had not been there when she left six months ago. Slie left her key at the desk downstairs, a few minutes later, and turned back to the telephone operator suddenly. “Have ther# been any calls for me this morning?" "No. there haven’t. Miss Hawley. Barbara turned away. She caught the two-thirty motor bus for her old home. When she started down the street toward her mother’s home, there was not a human being in Sight. The houses on either Side were grayer, more hopeless than she remembered them. She went on down the street. The big brick house qn the corner was much the same in appearance as It had always been. But was a broken windowlight upstairs and the grass had not been cut. ' In front of the bungalow farther down, in which Wilma Collins had lived, a gray and tattered washing flapped on a line across the lawn. And on the top step, which was cracked and paintless, there sat. Instead cf Wilma’s spirited Boston terrier, a grimy poodle, staring at the world with bleared red eyes behind a fringe of hair. Barbara w-alked more slowly. Her own old home was Just ahead. She did not look at It as she walked, but kept her eyes or. the sidewalk. At last she turned in at the walk

anfi passed through the gate. It swung creakily upon one hinge. She went up the stepe and rang the -doorbell. It failed to sound in the depths of the house and she knocked witl her knuckles upon the door. t . Nobody answered. Barbara's eyes wandered to the living room window*, but** the blinds were closely drawn. The porch was bare of furniture', but a ihop leaned against the post by the steps. Lumbering footsteps within the house announced the approach of someone. * Barbara braced herself and moistened her dry lips. The door swung open slowly, and -a woman appeared. With her right arm akimbo, she glared at Barbara. Her hair streaked about her face and her mouth w;as insolent. "Well,” she drawled, “out with it. What do you want? I’m not buying any books today.” % Barbara answered boldly. “I’m not selling books. I came to ask you to rent me a room for a few days. I’m told that some of the houses here have ropms to let.” The woman looked at Barbara suspiciously. “Why’d you pick house?” she snapped. “Just took a fancy to it as I passed,” lied Barbara. “I think I’d like that room upstairs with the bay window.” The woman shook the hkir out of her eyes and considered a moment. “Oh, all right.” she saicl. "It happens to be empty. But I get eight dollars a week for it single.” She wis surveying Barbara’s clothes. “All right. I care to see it now*. May I take possession this evening, when I’ve checked out at the hotel and brought my baggage?" “I suppose so,” replied the woman. ungraciously. . Barbara hurried down the, steps and out the gate. In the street she wfilked still faster. As she called for her key at the hotel desk, the clerk consulted a card in her mailbox. “There was a call for you. Miss Hawley,” he said. “But the party wouldn’t leave a name.” Barbara leaned forward. “Was it a man or woman?" she asked. "Couldn’t say. New girl at the switchboard an hour ago, so she wouldn’t know anything*- about it, either." Barbzara took the key and went to the elevator. (To Be Continued) WHAT’S PUFF FOR? TAMPA, Fla. —When Washington Alraham Fuller was searched at the police station here, the Negro was found to be carrying a powder puff, a woman’s vanitly case, five knives, a jair of lead knucks, two rings, two tie-pins, a hatpin, a pair of dice, automatic pistol cartridges and a razor.

I steam engine was in the water-rais-ing engine of Thomas Savery in 1698. In this the steam acted directly on the water to be raised. The flretjise of the piston wai by Papin in 1705 in a modification of Savery's engine. In the same year Newcomen made a piston engine which more nearly approached our modern form, lt was. as its name implied, an atmospheric engine. The piston, working in a cylinder, was connected by a chain with one end of an overhead beam. Steam admitted from the boiler to the cylinder allowed the piston to be * raised by a heavy counterpoise hung from the other end of the beam. Then the valve was shut and the steam In the cylinder condensed by a Jet of cold water. This left a vacuum In the cylinder and the piston was down by the pressure of the atmosphere, and the work clon e .by lifting a pump-rod which was fastened to the other end of the beam. The common story is - that a lazy, ingenious boy named Humphrey Potter, who had been set to turn the valve, mado the engine close and open its own vmlyes by means of cords, and thus invented the first automatic valve gear. For Pumping Water Newcomen’s engines were used solely for pumping water from the English coal mines. The modern steam engine is due to James Vatt, an instrument-maker for the l;pi- \ verslty of Glasgow. Watt's gmu J advances were; (1) condensing the steam in a separate vessel called , the condenser, thus keeping the cyl- , inder hot; (2) adding an air pump to , help the condensed steam; (3) jacket- , ing the cylinder to prevent cooling , off by conduction and radiation; (J) , making the engine double acting, that is, forcing the piston back not by the atmosphere but by the steam admitted at the oher end of the cylinder; and (5) using the steam expansively, in other words stopping tahe admission of steam when the piston had made only a part of its stroke and allowing the rest of the stroke to be performed by the expansion of the steam already h/tho| cylinder. He also made many* Inventions of important details, as the throttle valve for regulating the ad mission of steam, th- centrifugal i gtw’ernor, the indicator for Ing the actions of the cylinder, and. In conjunction with Murdoch, the slide valve for controlling the admission and release of steam. He; also patented the use of two or more . successive cylinders on one engine, or the modern compound engine, plan, which Is used In large engines where economy es fuel Is Important.: Watt’s inventive career extended over a half century.
