NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1930. FEW FEATURES IN BOND PRICE LIST Money Dull—Slight Flurry Hits Amusement Issues New York, April 25 (P — Tew features developed in the listed bond trading today. There was a flurry in some of the amusement is- sues, but the standard rails were very quiet and inclined to ease. Money was dull. Shubert Theaters 65 and Pathe Ex- change 78 made new highs on carly gains of one to threc points, re- spectively. Lowe's 63 and General Theaters 6s were steady in the early dealings. Warner Brothers pictures Gs equalled their low. Atchison Convertible 4145 recover- od part of Thursday's slump. Amer- | ican Telephone 4%s, International Telephone 4%s, Baltimore & Ohio % 1-28 and other familiar leaders in the stock featurc division were un- usually quiet. The depressing effect of the cur- fent volume of new issues was again cvident in the trend of the best grade bonds, where small fractional losses prevailed. Foreign obligations were mixed and dull. Liberties and treas- uries displayed firmness. Two emall municipal loans and the $22,000,000 McKesson & Robbins is- sue of 20-year convertible 5 prised the day's new bond financing here.

Y., April 25 (P)—Three hundred girls employed in the Rem- ington-Rand officc building here were driven to the street by firc to- day, most of them making their way down the fire escapes.

Main St, Preliminary | Superstitious Indians Kill German Scientist Mexico City, April 25 P—A weird story of superstition and fear that ended in the strangling to death of Edgar Kuhlman, Ger- man scientist, at Amozac, pear Puebla, a week ago, was publish- ed by the newspaper Ll Univer- cal today. The paper in dispatches from* Pucbla, said that eight persons believed responsible for the sav- age murder of the scientist had been captured and probably will be executed. According to one story the superstitious Indians in some way got the idea that the German scientist had been sent by the government to decapitate their children and to make oil from the children's bodies. This oil, the Indians said, was to be used on a South American flight by a noted aviator. DARJEELING COOL { | Himalayan Mountain Climbers Select Noted Town as Base ‘Washington, D. C., April 25. — Darjeeling, India, is headquarters just now for the ambitious interna- tional attempt to conquer Kinchin- junga, towering peak of thc Hima- layas that is only a scant thousand fect lower than Mt. Everest. Ordi- | narily, it ig pointed out in a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. head- jauarters of the National Geographic | Society, the town is headquarters for officlals and well-to-do residents of Calcutta and eastern Indla who seck |to conquer the sizzling heat of the | Indlan summer. Summer Retreat For Calcuttans “Like Simla, 700 miles farther west, and Srinagar in Kashmir, Dar- jeeling is a godsend Européans who must spend the hot | period in India,” says the bulletin “But it is more than a cool retrea it is a matchless observation post, when the clouds permit, for the mightiest mountain scenery that the world affords. Forty-five miles to the northward, across deep chasms and beyond tier after tier of foothills, , | rises Kinchinjunga, 28,156 feet high, buttressed by half a dozen peaks |from 20,000 to 24,000 fect in alti- | tude. | “Darjeeling stands on a sort of | stage before and above which sweep |the amphitheater slopes of Hima- {layan heights. "Fhc town is perched |on and astride a steep ridge of the Himalayan foothills that rises about 7,000 feet from the Bengal plains, On the side toward the mountains the the ridge drops away from ap- proximately 6,000 feet forming what might, in American terminology, be called ‘the Grand Canyon of the Ranjit; but whose heavily forested slopés and tropically luxuriant floor earns in India the more poetic name of ‘Vale of Ranjit.’ “It is across this Titanic valley and beyond over ranges of foothills lower than that on which Darjeel- ing sits, that one looks to mighty chinjunga. The eye therefore risc of approximately 27,000 range of altitude to be seen in few if any other places in the world, since most of the highest mountains rise from lofty plateaus.

One of the few carriage roads is a driveway that skirts the lower end of the main ridge and| leads below to the suburb Lebong and its barracks for British soldiers. “The villas, bungalows, shops, government buildings, hospitals, churches, schools, barracks and na- tive huts that make up Darjeeling | and its suburb form pendant com- | munities, like giant saddle bags| thrown over the ridge. Diwellin are scattered down the slopes for one tier on a level with the roofs of the next tier below. If one must cover space in Darjeeling he rides on pony back or is carried in a lit- ter by four servants. “The center of Darjeeling is Ob- servatory Hill, a knoll on the crest |of the ridge. Topping the knoll is a Buddhist monument and sur- rounding it is a small forest of staffs from which prayer flags flutter their supplications. From the benches near the monument onc may sit, when mist and clouds do not inter- fere, and take advantage of Dar- jecling’s best view of mighty Kin-| chinjunga and its fellows.
