^ fivit Speak, See, Hear No Evi!,
L;'r.. . an Old Japanese Proverb
The ttireo wise monkeys aymbottze
an old Japanese proverh, "Speak no
)i\ i see no evit, hear no evi]." In
„ ^tfr^ Jnpanese tho proverb reads, "Iwaaru,
'^'bvinj.^m[zarn, klkaxaru," which UteraHy
''f Rn^. moans "non-speaking, non-seetng, non-
''iavif, hearing." Therefore, notesawrtter In
-!«n< ""^'M'Bln'MnnapoHsNewa, tt often Is satd
""fAlt that the names of the monkeys are
^ thjs Iwazaru, who speaks no evil; Mlxarn,
[ who sees no eylt, and Kikazaru, who
hears no evit. Each word In the prov-
erb ends with "zaru." By adding "zaru"
to a verb In Japanese It becomes a
negative adjective. The Japanese wort]
or monkey Is "saru," which phoneti-
cally becomes "zaru" when It Is pre-
ceded by a modifier. Hence, the three
monkeys became associated with the
proverb merely as a pun.
Sometimes they are called the "Llt-
tle Apes of Nlkko" because they ap-
pear In mural decorations la the an-
cient tombs In Nlkko, Japan. Accord-
ing to some Japanese writers the three
apes symbolize the fact that the Jap-
anese talks too much, the Chinese sees
too much, and the Indian hears too
!H[ji..much.

Galapagos Plateau Long

Existence of the so-called Galapagos
plateau, submerged beneath the sur-
face of the ocean hut forming a great
shelf extending from Costa Rica south-
ward beyond the famed Cocos Island
and Including the Galapagos archipel-
ago has long been known, says a writ-
er In the Los Angeles Times.
Naval hydrographic oHIcers describe
It as an Irregular continental shelf ex-
tending some 000 mlies out to sea. Two
hundred mlies off Costa Rica lies Hiva-
deneyra shonl which Is less than ten
feet below the surface of the water at
mean tide. A littio more elevation
would have made Islands of the shoals.
Around the Galapagos and Cocos Is-
land are well-defined curves of pla-
teaus at 1,000 fathoms, and Including
both these plateaus Is a much broader
submerged plateau definitely outlined
at 1,800 fathoms. The outer edge of the
Galapagos plateau Is shown on hydro-
graphic charts ata2,000-fathom curve.

Two CoHege Graduates Are
fndicted for the Setting of
Fraudulent Stock.
New York.—Wallace (1. Ga'land,
Yale graduate ai d young financial
genius, and his partner in business
operations, Arnold C. Mason, honor
graduate of Yale's Sheflleld scientific
school, were named defendants in the
largest mai! fraud Indictment ever
voted by a fedora) grand jury.
The indichnent names 32 Individuals,
Including one woman and 20 corpora-
tions, the majority of which were or-
ganized hy Garland and Mason, and
contains -12 counts of mall fraud and
one of conspiracy spread over 77 pages
of a typed copy of the bilt.
It charges that between the years
Mill and 1931 the defendants sold
34,500,000 In stock to tlie public which
was and Is worthless, and that repre-
sentations made In these sales violated
the federal mall fraud statute.
In Business Eight Years.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney .lames Murtagh In the Indict-
ment, Garland and Mason began their
operations In 1927.
Garland finished Yale in 1923 win-
ning high praise from Trof. Irving
Fisher for hfs unorthodox and Inter-
esting financial ideas. Mason, the son
of an oflicer of the Liggett & Myers
Tobacco company, finished Yale with
honorslnl927.
Garlttnd at tlmt time possessed a
patent on an automatic signal device
ifeveloped by his father, which would
fegulate traflic at road Intersections.
He and Mason organized the Auto-
matic Signal corttoration to promote
the patent which was at that time val-
ued on the books at $7,300.
Garlanil later organized the Auto-
matic Signal Acceptance corporation.
The value of the patent then was
boosted on the books to $1,000,000.
Garhm) later organized several sub-
sidiaries. always raising the book value
of his patent.
Holding Firm Forme#.
Finally, Garland organized the Pub-
He Service Holding corporation, the
stock of alltlie subsidiaries was turned
over to the holding corporation and
an Intensive campaign to sell Its stock
was begun in 1931.
ISy this time the value of the patent
Is nlleged to have been raised to $33,-
090,000 on the books, and salesmen for
the stock, according to tlte charges,
represented that it was controlled by
the New Jersey Public Service com-
pany.
A flood of complaints to the Post
Office department caused an Investiga-
tion last summer which ended in the
arrest of Garland, Mason, and others.
In all 15 persons have been held In
bail on tnaiifrattd complaints by the
United States commissioner and all of
the Garland' corporations have been
bantted by the state attorney general.
