IMPROVED OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS SHOWN Federal Reserve Board’'s Review for May Indicates Bresk in GREATER CREDIT DEMANDS Agricultural Products Especially Considered in Statement. Indications of a break in the busi- ness recession that began with the new year were shown today by the Federa] Reserve Board's review for Jaay. While the activity In some linee can be traced to seasomal in- creases, officials s=ald the tone was healthier and expressed the bellet that the resultfg revival would have more than temporary life. There were Indications also that constructive programs were undeil consideration in some business circles which a few months ago were con- tent 10 mect only the demands upon them and make no future plans. Greater credit demands were evi- dent in the last thirty days, but these were met entirely by local financial institutions and the lowering earn- ing assets of the Federal Reserve Banks were not increased. While the renewed demands for funds showed, in the opinfon of Treasury officials, a spurt in business, they also indicated that commercial banks had pienty money available for loans, with the result that rates were easier.

A good deal of confusion exists in the minds of prospective investors as to “Arst mortgages.” There seems to be a sort of magic about the term firsf mortgage which blinds the eyes of many to other considerations which are Just as important. Now it goes without saying that a first mortgage 18 better than a second mortgage on the same property. It is perfectly possible, howeves. for & second or oven a third morigage on one plece of property to be better than a first mortgage upon some other plece of property. It is even true sometimes that the unsecured obligation of one corporation is better than tho secured obNgation of another. Take, for instance, two of the high- est grade {nvestment bonds listed on the New York Stock Exchunge, The first is United States Steel sinking fund s, Probably no industrial listed issue has a higher rating, and yet it is a second. mortgage on_ the property of the United States Steel Corporation. The first mortgage is also @ 5 per cont fssue, but is un- listed and so closely held that it is rurely dealt In. The other cuse is that of the General Electric deben ture Gs. These are not secured by mortgage ut all. but depend for their fnvestment merit upon the credit of the General Electric Company. And %0 it does not necessarily follow that the fact that a bond is secured by first mortgage puts it in the highest class. What vou must cousider in each case is the equity in the prop- erty over and above ihe amount of the loan and the credit stunding of the ‘borrower.

From the Manchester Guardlan, A report comes from England that |Dr. Milligan, the medical officer of heaith for Reading, who has made a | comparison between the helghts and welghts of Reading children and American children in the last three years, finds the latter considerably heavier and taller. The average twelv ar-old boy in the English town is 54% inches tall and weighs seventy-three pounds, &5 agalnst an average American helght of 66% inches and a welght of seventy-nine pounds. We will not insist on placing much importance on figu taken from only one English town, nor will we find them particu- larly flattering consjdering the fact that England has to lear far greater post-war privations than America. For the last ten vears children have had & better chance to develop physi- cally in America than in &ny of the European countries. They should grow better in England. Superior height, however, is nothing new to America.’ It is a well known fact that descendants of English and Luropean tmmigrants to that country of about the third generation are apt to be considerably taller than their ancestors. It Is not a mere fancy that has made the traditional Uncle Sam a tall tellow. o Man of 78 Missing Again.

NEW YORK, June 2.—~"No progres- sive big baker In the United States wants to Increase the price of a loaf of bread.” That is the oplnon of Willlam B. Ward, who since his ac- Cession to the presidency of the Ward Baking Company. is the biggest baker In America. He declared in addition that he was confident that he spoke not only for his own company, which controls nineteen plants in thirteen large cities, but for the industry in ighted baker,” he sald, increase the price, because he would far rather increase the vol- ume of his business.

They had shut off the largest ofl well in America three days before. There were not enough pipe lines to handle the flow. It had filled & 1,000-barrel tank in twenty minutes. Then, to prove that its performance was no flush production freak, had filled three more tanks in exactly one hour.

BURNS HOLES IN STEEL Says He Can Send Fire Undimin- ished for Twenty Miles. By Consolidated Pre: SAN FRANCISCO, June -Uncle Sam has little cause to worry about which European nation gets the secret of the alleged “diabolical ray” sald to have been evolved by a British inventor. Uncle Sam has the makings of a death-dealing ray all his own in the invention of a humble California mechanic who, in seeking to harness the sun's ray for In- dustrial purpose, has developed a means of focusing those rays so as to produce u heat two and & half times as intente as anything sclence has yet been able to generate. Moreover, this youthful scientist, Marcel Moreau, Jr. of Burlingame, Cullf., has succeeded In demonstra- tions befors newspaper men, in directing his ray so as to set afire u dead tree at a distance of several hundred yards, and has burned holes through & half-inch steel plate at a simllar distance. Could Go Twenty Miles here is no doubt,” he told his audience, “but that the same in- tensive heat can be sent any desired distance, o0 long as it can travel in & straight line. At twenty miles it would retain the same power to melt or ignite any substances. Spectal focusing devices would have to be built, howover. as their length de- termines the distance the rays may be ‘sent. “I presume it could be made into a terrible weapon of war—something that would wipe out whole armies by simply playing the ray back and 1 h upon them. But 1 am more in- 1 sted in developing it for other purposes. Moreau's invention, if all he claims for it is true, thus has much power as has been claimed for the European “diabolical ray." except that Moreau's is dependent on the shining of the sun, while the Lu- ropean ray is an alectrical affair, ca- pable of being operated in all| weather. Experiments of Anclen The father of all diabolical ravs, Archimedes, the famous Greek scholar. furnished young Moreau with his inspiration Several years ago Moreau read of Archimedes and his polished metal mirrorg, with which he set afire me o'-war which were about 0 att the ancient city of | Syracuse. Archimedes was credited with huving accomplished the de- struction of the fleet at a distance of sixteen miles. Pursuing his studies, Moreau read how the French scientist Buffon in the eighteenth century had demon- strated that Archimedes' alleged | feat was not impossible by igniting | bLiocks of wood with a sun machine ut_a distance of n mile. Thinking solely of its commercial possibilitics, Moreau set about a se- ries of experiments designed to util- ize the sunlight. Several weeks ago, after thousands of experiments. he found what he was looking for— means of producing the most intense heat ever ge No instrument vet has Leen to measwre \l'llh‘ exactitude its Intensity, but {t Is eSti- | mated he produced 15000 degrees Fahrenheit. The greatest heat ev hefore produced was approximately 6.000 degrees, obtuined in an clectric arc furnace Demonntrates Sun Machine, Moreau demonstrated the terrific heat produced by his sun machine be- fore newspaper men. First he turned the ray on a dlamond and melted it) almost in the twinkling of an eye.| Then he turned the ray on a chunk of steel and rgndered the metal molten in one-fifth of a second.
