On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley's ‘Believe It or Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: Planes Cross the Continental Divide Twice in One Direction— On the trahs-continental air route, between Cheyenne, Wyo., and Salt Lake City, planes follow the line of the railroad over southern Wyoming. A large area in that mountainous country is called the Great Divide Basin, so-cailed because of the division of the American Continental Divide, from a point near Rawlins to the slopes just east of Rock Springs-Mail-passenger planes, in crossing this basin, actually cross the divide twice within thirty minutes, flying in straight east or west directionA Radiator Does Not Radiate Heat—The air in a room is warmed by convection, or the rubbing contacts produced by the air currents when the air passes over the heated surface of your steam ‘’radiator.” Convection thus is distinguished from radiation (direct), or the process of heating solid objects by the direct rays of radiant heat.

STOCK MARKET REACTION DUE AFTER UPTURN Artificial Nature of Rise May Bring Drop on Friday, 13th. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. Feb. 12.—A1l financial markets were closed today because of Lincoln’s birthday holiday, but trading will be resumed Friday, the thirteenth, when “the street’’ looks for a reaction. Wall Street is superstitious. In fact, the Stock Exchange building has no thirteenth floor for that reason. Back to more fundamental facts, the list is entitled to a reaction on purely technical grounds, according to conservative observers, who say the rise of the last few days has been purely artificial. Numerous pools have accumulated stocks at the low prices prevailing since midDecember and are taking this brief period of strength to unload their holdings. Bonus Viewed as Menace When the selling is finished the market for the particular stock will be allowed to shift for itself and, without pool support, may drop several points. Under cover of strength in Wednesday’s market heavy distribution was said to be under way in a number of issues. Evidence of this was seen in the fact that the twenty most active issues accounted for 20 per cent of the 4,700,000 share turnover. One stock had a volume equal to more than 50 per cent of all its shares outstanding. The bonus situation still is considered a menace to a rise in the market, Ogden L. Mills, undersecretary of the treasury, told bankers Wednesday that several important bonus developments were to come out within forty-eight hours, and gave the impression a bonus bill would be passed. Inflation Is Predicted Mills’ argument against a large bonus payment calling for a huge bond issue was that it would cause temporary inflation, followed by prolongation of the business depression. Mills said the government could not float a bond issue of even a billion dollars without disrupting the whole bond market. In addition to the bonus problem, the market still is faced with a delicate silver situation; the steel industry presents a spotty demand; corporation reports are not measuring up to expectations, and car loadings continue to reflect sharp curtailment everywhere. Proponents of a bull market at this time hold that the market has discounted these factors apd is now looking forward to a rapid recovery. Expect Veto by Hoover The bonus, they say, will be vetoed by the President and will not be passed over his veto. Prospects of congress avoiding an extra session are seen as working for the market. One observer said the market would rise immediately 10 points if congress adjourned with all appropriation bills passed and would not meet again until next December. The reason given for the fears of congress in action is that its activities bring much uncertainty with which the market can not cope. The credit situation is such that stocks can be carried for what dividends they pay. Incidentally, the present upswing has the same general appearance as that rise which marked the end of the last depression. Marriage Licenses Henry L.

GANG REVENGE SEEN Betrayal Fear Blamed for Slaying of Potter. By United Press ¶ CLEVELAND, Feb. 12.—Inflamed suspicions of the underworld that its interests were being betrayed were offered by Detective Inspector Cornelius W. Cody today as the motive behind the slaying of William E. Potter, former Republican leader. ¶ The theory that Potter was aligned with two underworld elements, one of which suspected the politician of “double crossing,’’ upset the original belief that he was killed to prevent a possible exposition of city land frauds. DROP VAGRANCY CHARGE AGAINST GANG LEADER “Bugs” Moran Given Police Guard to Attend Hearings. By United Press ¶ CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—A vagrancy charge against George (Bugs) Moran, gunman and one-time leader of gangsters on the north side, was dismissed Wednesday at the request of the prosecution. ¶ The best known living gangster enemy of Scarface A1 Capone asked for and received a guard of two policeman to attend hearing of the case. He nervously watched the crowd during the brief session, as if anticipating some attack. Bank Director Elected ¶ Norman Metzger, son of the late Albert E. Metzger, was elected to the board of directors of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company Wednesday. Metzger also is secretary and general manager of the Indiana Terminal Warehouse Company.
