New York’s everchanging sky line, with its ornate towers and pinnacles, is to undergo an im portant alteration in the near fu ture, when a new building peak of steel and glass designed to domi nate the entire city will arise In the heart of Madison Square, ac cording to an article in the New York Times. For years lower Manhattan, with the Woolworth Building and the group of skyscrapers in and about the financial district, claimed the distinction of having not only the largest but the tallest structures in the skyline, for it has been overtop ped by the Bank of the Manhattan Building in Wall street and the Chrysler building on East 42nd St. But the height and bulk honors of these buildings are destined to be short-lived, for they are destined to be surpassed in skyward climb by a 100-story office building that the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany will erect for its own use. That company is the owner of ihc two entire blocks fronting on Madi son Square between Madison and Fourth avenues and Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets. On the southerly block is the old home-office building with its 50-story tower, which is connected with the north side of 24th street, to the 16-story Metropolitan Life an nex by a bridge over the street and two tunnels beneath the street level. The annex occupies the former site of the old Parkhurst church. On the northerly block the In surance company now proposes to erect a building which will ultimate TRUSTEE'S SALE, By virtue of the power vested in me as trustee in a certain deed of trust, executed by Johannah Bur chett to secure an indebtedness as described in that certain dsed of trust, dated 23rd day of August, 1926 and recorded in book 140. of deeds, page 161, of the office ol the register for Cleveland county, N.

Deaf May “Hear” Pictures Of Speech Pictures Of Spoken Words Shown And Discussed As New Pos sibility For Deaf. New York.—Pictures of spoken words were shown to the NewJfrrk Electrical society and discussed as a new kind of possibility for en abling the deaf to hear conversa tion. These speech pictures were thrown on a canvass screen. where they literaJly talked, by turning them selves back into speech. The pic tures were the sound track of a movie film, magnified with a stere optican until the row of jagged shadows which represents spoken sounds was as big as a line of icicies Speech Reflected. As this row moved across .lie canvass the alternating lights ar.U shadow penetrated a slit in the cloth and fell upon a mirror. Thence they reflected to a photo electric c°ll and were turned into words. As the speech translation was in stantaneous, the audience could see the shape of the shadows that made the sounds. In reading the shadows, said the demonstrator of the picture, John Bellamy Taylor of the General Electric company, lies a possibility of relief for the deaf. Showed Shape Of Speech. 'For example, when he wished to show the shape of speech, he had to stop the picture, turning it into a silent still. Even so, only the sim plest vowel sounds could be exhib ited. Nevertheless, Mr. Taylor said, it is conceivable that methods can be decised of turning the moving shadows int* a series of stills which the eye can see while speech goes on.

Cancer Mortality Rate Still Rising Morr Deaths Among Men Medical Director Warns Against Quack And “Cures.” New York.—The number of ucatiu from cancer Is still increasing, al though not at such a rapid rale as j in former years, according tc a re port made public by the New York | Life Insurance company on its rec ord of deaths from cancer and uu;i- I ignant tumors during the last tv»en- j ty years. In the first nine months of 1029.' cancers were responsible for about | 10.5 per cent of all deaths among! policy holders, and were ths third ' greatest cause of death for this peii- ; od. The percentage In 1928 war a | fraction less than 10.5 per cent. The figure in 1917 was only 3.3 pu cent. In 1908 it was a fraction over 6.3 per cent. The percentage of men dying of | the disease continues to be flight: j than the percentage of women. It j has been found that no part oi the body is immune. In men the organs most frequently affected are, in or der: stomach, liver, intestines, gen ital organs, kidney, blddder, mouth. throat and skin. In women the fit quency order is stomach, liver, uterus, breast, intestines, kidney, bladder, skin and mouth. Commenting on the report, Dr. Angler B. Hobbs, medical director of the company, said an unintei rupted public education as to tl.a symptoms of cancer and early dr-g nosis and treatment were of vital importance in controlling the dis ease, which is curable in its early stages. He described the early indications of cancer as an obstinate sore cn the surface of the body, particular ly about the mouth, tongue or lips; a mole, wart or similar skin defect which becomes irritated or changes in shape; an abnormal discharge from one of the orifices of tee body, particularly if tinged with blood; any irregular or \ rofuse bleeding; a lumff or swelling of the breast: persistent indigestion with loss of weight. He said it was vital to go to a reputable physician for treatment, and warred against quacks and men posing as physicians of high standing who claimed to have a so called cure, many of which, he as serted, have appeared in the last year.
