KERN RESIGNS AS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
Asks to Be Relieved as Head of Sub
committee on Excise and
Liquor Legislation.

Senator Kern, of Indiana, has asked
to be relieved as chairman of the sub
committee on excise and liquor legisla-
ton OF the District committee. The re-
quest. made Of Chairman John Walter
Smith. of the full committee, yesterday,
is based upon the actions Of Senator
kern's duties as caucus chairman.
The question Of hearings on proposed
prohibition measures probably will be
taken up as soon as Senator Smith has
designated a successor for Senator
Kern! The United German Societies of
the District will ask for public hearings.
and, 1t is understood, similar requests
will be made from other sources.
The only other Democratic members
of the subcommittee on excise and IL
quor legislation are Senators Martin. of
Virginia and Salisbury, of Delaware.
Senator Martin. as chairman of the APP
Committee. probably will not
be available, and II is questionable II
Senator Salisbury would look with IA
vor on a proposal that he assume the
chair.

ATTACK FOLLOWS
Steel Dividend
Concentrated Drive on Entire
List Comes After Direc-
tors Announcement.
TT LOSES SIX POINTS
Rails Hold Strong in Forenoon and
Coppers Are Neglected-General
Prices Low at Close.

New York. Jan. so-The sharp decline
IN the stock market today reflected a
cleaning out of the week speculative ac-
counts, which professionals have for
more than a week been trying to dis
lodge. Commission houses were sellers
on balance. The improved technical po-
sition of the market inspired quite few
to post bulletins after the close, advis-
ing customers to purchase rails and cop
pers on any further depreciation in quo
tations. The selling continued up to the
close, final prices being around the
lowest.
There was an absence Of definite trend,
some Issues showing slight gains, while
others were a trifie under the previous
close. Professionals offered shares
wherever they believed there was a tech
nicsF weakness. The rails held relatively
strong during the forenoon and the cop
pers were neglected. 1t was not unc
announcement Of the Bethlehem Steel
dividend OF 30 per cent that concen-
trated drivea was made on the whole list
This attack brought out considerable
long stock from the commission houses
ana resulted in declines Of from one to
two points in the standard issues. Steel
was prominent, and accompanying Its
weakness runors were circulated that the
directors would not resume dividends at
their meeting next week.
Early in the last hour the list steadied
for a short time and steel recovered
about 1-2 a point from the low, but an
other weakening spell occurred shortly
before the close.
When the Wall street news tickers
printed announcement of the 30 per cent
dividend declared by the Bethlehem Steel
directors, SPECTATORS crowded to the
tickers to see its influence on the stock.
Immediately after the announcement the
stock sold at AS and 465 against yester-
days close Of As. Subsequently it re-
covered to 4T9. where 1t closed with net
loss of points. To those spectators
who have entertained illusions relative to
the market value of the war stocks the
dividend declaration was a disappoint-
ment. but to those having in mind the
conservative attitude of Charles NJ.
Schwah relative to disbursements to
shareholders. the initiation of dividends
was construed as bullish.

of atmosphere, for the influence exert
ed is due in great part to the atmos-
pherc of the Sunday school. He must be
shepherd Of youth and remember that
there are so many demands upon the
time Of pastor that there is a tempta-
tion to shirk time that should be de-
voted to the youths of the Sunday
school and church. He needs to be an
understanding friend of the children
The pastor class and the follow up
work in the winning of recruits to the
ministrE and to missionary service are
other important factors in the rela-
ton of the pastor to the Sunday
school.
Speaking on The Superintendent s
Place in Sunday School Evangelism,
c. S. Andrews Of Barre said that. like
the pastor, the superintendent must be
2 man of atmosphere. His individual
work with relation TO each teacher and
each pupil has much to do with the
ultimate results gained by the Sunday
school Of which he is the head.
John X. Greenwood Of Chester,
speaking on the same subject, said that
the pastor and superintendent must
lock arms and that the combined in
spiration of the two leaders is required
to make a Sunday school an effective
organization
The survey of the Sunday school
progress in the state was conducted by
the departmental superintendent of
the association, each speaking briefly.
