BETTER TREND PREDICTED FOR FALL BUSINESS Feeling of Confidence Is Noted in Securities Market. Hu Pm ted Preei NEW YORK, Aug. 23—Slowly reviving confidence In industrial and commerce circles, despite continued dullness in many lines, was the principal development in American business conditions during the past week, according to reports received from various federal reserve centers. With the summer season terminating in a few weeks, leading economists predict livelier business after the Labor day holiday, and some even cherish hope of a return to normal before the Christmas season. Slow Recovery Moat of them stress the belief, however, that such a recovery will be a slow process in view of the substantial character of the present depression. One encouraging aspect of the drought has been the halt of price declines in agricultural products. Both wheat and com futures have met steady buying, while the present low price of cotton futures has attracted support for that staple. Along with steadiness in commodity prices, a noticeable feeling of confidence has pervaded the stock market, and the situation recembles that of January when the early spring rally in the stock market got under way. Changes Are Few Possibilities of a continuation of the 1 per cent reduction in income taxes this year is regarded as a highly constructive development In as much as it would indicate much better business conditions than are believed to exist. There was little change in industrial operations this week, according to various authorities. The steel industry continued to hold its own at slightly more than half capacity and above theJow point touched in early July. 9 BIKE BUSINESS GROWS Manufacture of Motorcycles Falls Off Almost 10 Per Cent. Hu United Prext WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The bicycle industry is showing signs of new life, despite the general idea that motorization has forced slower and more laborious methods of transportation into the background. A census bureau report showed that while the manufacture of motorcycles fell’ off 9.3 per cent and their value 5.7 per cent in 1929, as compared with 1927, the output, of bicycles increased 20.5 per cent in number and 6.6 per cent in value for the sama period.

All You Have to Do to Be Beautiful Is— Bv rufffrf Frnt CHICAGO. Aug. 23. - The latest beauty “tips” gathered at the American Association of Cosmetttians and Hair Artists, are: Remember eyes and mouth are the two most important features of your appearance. More care should be devoted to them than any others. Shadow (not shade) the eyelids. Place the shadowing on well, then cover with powder so that the coloring barely is visible. Careful use of lipstick can make small mouths look larger and thick lips look thin. Be sure your lipstick matches your gown. In selecting powder, get a shade that matches your normal skin. Take some part of the body unexposed to determine this shade. Unless of very dark complexion, use that shade always Dark powder for gypsy types. Whan wearing light clothes, use lighter shade of rouge. Medium eolor for dark gowns. Brighter hue of rouge for evening. Dry faces wrinkle much faster than oily ones.

Al Smith Building Rearing Way High Above Gotham Skyscrapers

Mammoth Structure to Be 102 Stories in Clouds; Dirigible Goal. BY DONN SUTTON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Aug. '.—The black Rkeleton of anew mammoth of stone and steel, one-fifth higher than anything else ever built by man. is being reared on the Manhattan skyline. Alfred E Smith's Empire State building, with its 102 stories, its sixty-two passenger and freight elevators and its subterranean "business district,” has begun its rise to a height of nearly a quarter of a mile above fashionable Fifth avenue. Crowned by a glass-incased mooring mast, supported by the largest steel columns ever molded, and erected upon New’ York's solid rock, this s'lper-skyscraper will be opened next spring to 20,000 to 50,000 prospective tenants, to cruising dirigibles, and to clamoring sightseers. Five Floors a Week Meanwhile, approximately a floor a day, five floors a week, are being magically added to the gigantic structure by an army of 4,000 to 5,000 workers. And from the windows of an office near the site, former Governor Smith—president of Empire State, Inc.—watches progress on the $55,000,000 building through a pair of powerful binoculars. The Empire State Building will be, literally, a city in the clouds, according to the plans of its owners and builders. It will be a metropolis within a metropolis, wuth stores and arcades in the first basement that would make it unnecessary for a tennant to leave the building in a life-time so far as actual living want* are concerned. More than 375,000 kilowatts of electricity will be consumed by Empire State every minute after it is completed and occupied. This is more than sufficient power to light all the houses and run the factories in a city the size of Bridgeport, Conn. There will be more than 350,000 23-watt lamps in the building—the largest aggregation of electric lights under one roof.

‘LIVE’ CASTS MADE BY CITY INVENTOR

/ insert—Richard F. Wehlerman and his plaster-of-paris double. Right—Tlie inventor of live casts, the mysterious black box that holds the invention, and some of the moulds he’s made.

Revolutionizes Art of Modeling With New Composition. BY ARCH STEINEL Posterity may know and see that President Whooziss had a wart behind his ear. They may see the moles that grace the cheeks of the famous and infamous. This, because Richard F. Wehlerman of 744 Wallace street has revolutionized the art of modeling with a composition that makes casts so life-like they seem ready to lift their fingers with a warning “-s-sh,” or open their mouths to smile. •'How-do-you-do?” A black box, with a padlock, carries the secret of Wehlerman's invention. Out of this black box he forecasts the possibility of reducing the cost of store models, which at the same time making them from actual life, to about one-third or one-half the present price. “The composition I've invented can be placed on a live model without endangering health and casts made from the model will reflect every feature and every characteristic.” Wehlerman explained. He showed a profile head of himself and one of his hands molded with the composition. A mole on the chin, veins in the head and face, thinning hair, were as distinct in the plaster-of-paris cast of the mould as in real life. But. although Wehlerman worked on his invention twenty years before he perfected it two years ago, he admits but one “snag” in perfecting it. “My wife helped with it, but I did have to move my workshop out of the kitchen and into the basement if there was to be any food for me. She won,” he said. Casts made by Wehlerman wi> be exhibited in the fine arts display at the Indiana state fair. An exhibit in 1929 won him third prize. He plans to patent the process for making the modeling composition.

‘Take It, Helen!’ Grab That $20,000 Bequest—Bobby Jones’ Advice.

Bu United Press NEW YORK.. Aug. 23.—Helen Wills Moody ought to take the $20,000, Bobby Jones believes. The world's greatest golfer was replying to a question as to whether Mrs. Moody, the world's greatest woman tennis player, should accept the $20,000 bequest left her in the will of Senator Phelan of California. . “Why shouldn't she?” he asked. “I wish someone would leave me the same amount and see how quick I would take it!” “What about that $50,000 house you refused to accept from Atlanta friends a few years ago?” “That was different. I think it is absolutely asinine for any one even to question Helen’s procedure in this instance. An heir to an estate or part of an estate has all the right in the world to accept an inheritance.” Bobby then was induced to talk of his future golf plans: “I don't want to say whether I will quit golf after the amateur or not. It would be embarrassing for me to commit myself to leaving the game and then want to come back again.”

In floor space, the Empire State is exceeded only by the Chicago Merchandise Mart. The mooring mast, which will enable dirigibles to bring passengers into the heart of New York, may become the American terminus of the Goodyear-Zeppelin company’s projected trans-Atlantic service. Passengers will descend through the mooring tower into the building proper and be carried to the ground by express elevators. The mast will be inclosed in glass and shiny steel, and at night colored lights will gleam behind the glass and there will be a red airplane beacon.

INCOME TAX SLASH IS LIKELY TO STAY Treasury Chief Optimistic About Keeping 1 Per Cent Scale. BU United prets WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The 1 per cent reduction granted individual income taxpayers last year may be maintained in 1931, Ogden Mills, undersecretary of the treasury, said today after a conference with President Hoover. Mills* optimism was a direct reversal of the observations of high treasury officials Thursday that, with receipts falling off, it appeared the 1930 reductions would have to be eliminated.

Last of Noted Mountain Feud Veterans Dies Survivor of Many Battles Fails to Meet End With ‘Boots On.’ Bu United Pre.ee BALTIMORE. Md-, Aug. 23. William Anderson (Cap) Hatfield, 67, of Logan, W. Va. last of the “Hatfield-McCoy feudists,” died at Johns Hopkins hospital today. The cause of his death defied the diagnosis of specialists in this and other cities. Hatfield arrived at the hospital Tuesday, and Wednesday he lapsed into a coma from which he did not rouse. Hatfield was 17 when, in 1880, the famous Hatfleld-McCoy feud on the West Virginia-Kentucky border flared Into life after a lawsuit between the families over the sale of a few pigs. He, with cousins, brothers, uncles and other relations, were called into battle against the Kentucky McCoys. and the long fight waxed stronger every day as reports of deaths of members of both families, slain from alder thickets in the mountains, filtered back to civilization. The Governors of both states were drawn into the controversy, and refused to extradite members of the opposing clans. The feud ended when the McCoys moved back to their home state, the Hatfield family claiming the victory. Found Dead in Bed John Hannon, 73, of 1130 Bates street, was found dead in his bed early Friday night. Dr. P. B. Reed of city hosiptal said heart disease caused death.

Byrd Scoffs at All Dangers

Tlm ExehMCe Club brine* Richard E. Bird te Indianapolis at lta rnrat Monday. In connection with his visit, the (oUowtnc article, the last Installment of a series of three. Is especially Interesttn*. It shows the connection between the Byrd family and the Harrison family, so famous In Yirrinla and Indiana. The writer by marriace in related to the Harrison family. The flrst installment Thursday told of the Harrison family's history la Virrinfa and the arrival of the first of the Byrds. William, from Enrlaad. Hr soAn me to a position of leadership In the colony, rriday'* story rare the complete history nf the Byrd family. The eariy i*yras ana Harrisons were co-founders of William and Mary college, where nine generations of Benjamin Harrisons were on the board of visitors. In death the Byrds and Harrisons were not divided, for the father of the signer and his wife, Anne Carter, sleep in the old Byrd family burial ground at Westover. One must needs notice that the sons of these families intermarried with those of equally high standing and honorable birth, thus refining influences, prestige and virtues increased in geometrical progression in the descendants. The old adage, “birds of a feather,” is applicable to these families distinguished by birth and circumstances. Inwrought into the character of Admiral Byrd are the sturdiest traits of pioneer ancestors, but he brought to the family added virtue and honor. He passed all barriers, surmounted all handicaps, even though the latter were frozen mountain peaks at the bottom of the earth. The deeds of this immortal Virginian proe, as President Hoover said, “the worth, power and glory of qualities latent in our people.”

We pass the legion of citation of honor and medals conferred upon young Byrd, even the special medal designed by the National Geographical Society and the latest one to be given by Indianapolis. Our attention is arrested by the silver bowl presented, In prayer and praise, by the Admiral’s native city, Winchester. On one side of this bowl is engraved the seal of the municipality, while on the other is the coat of arms of the Byrd family. n n u WE may understand the qualifications of membership in F. F. V. by learning about the Byrd coat of arms. Such an emblem was conferred by a sovereign for some achievement or service to one's country and king. The Byrd shield is of silver and pearls, signifying the character of Byrd as being of pearl-like purity. The red cross indicates service to the church and also self-sacrifice. The four heraldic birds, martlets, without feet, show that the recipient of the arms was so swift to execute that he had no need of feet. The red color of the martlet denotes zeal, energy and victory. The crescent or half moon on the canton is symbolic of changing fortune. , . Colonel William Byrd's book plate is the quartered coat of arms, enlarged by the escutcheons of those who married into the family. The mantling has been tom by enemies. Bulls’ heads signify perseverance. The helmet is surmounted by the dove of peace. The heraldic motto, “Nulla pallescere culpa,” being interpreted, means, “To turn pale at no crime or wrong (unredressed). Family loyalty and service to one’s country is the tradition of the First Families of Virginia, the Old Dominion and Mother of Presidents. nun THE parade has passed. The shouting and tumult have died. The statue has again become fixed ir: metallic immobility. The sun’s rays shining at a certain angle leave, in shadow, the graven letters reminding us that Indiana's Benjamin Harrison was a distinguished lawyer, a volunteer soldier, a member of the United States senate, and the twenty-third President of his country, but brightly illumined are the first, words, “A citizen faithful to every obligation.” CITY EDITOR SUES Chicago Herald-Examiner Faces Tribune Attack, Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Declaration in a suit seeking $250,000 damages from the Chicago Herald and Examiner has been filed in circuit court by Robert M. Lee, city editor of the Chicago Tribune. Lee's complaint was based on a, story published by the Herald and Examiner, suggesting he stated, that testimony of Lee, as employer of Alfred J.
