NEW YORK, March 30.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
trading in today's short session OF
the stock market was neglible IN
volume and WIS wholly professional
in character. There was a firm I'M
dertone to the few industrial shares

Traders were agitated by the an
nouncement of Secretary Ely or the
stock exchange that the U. S. attor-
new general has ruled that the stamp
tax imposed by the war revenue act
Of October last on stock transferred
applies to the lending and borrow
ing of certificates Of stock. This APP
parently is a further step IN the at
tempt to put curb on short selling
and undoubtedly will result in dairy
settlements. The effect on business

The Lenten season comes to an
end tonight at midnight with the
dawn of Easter day. which will be
celebrated In Keokuk in the usual
fashion. All of the churches will OBJ
serve the anniversary Of the resur-
rection with appropriate services and
there will be special music in all OF
the churches. Six weeks OF denial
and sacrifice will be ended at mid
night and the Easter festival is one
of special religious significance.
This is frequently dwarfed by the
fact that Easter is the signal for the
donning of new finery and new
dresses and hats will make their ap
pearance tomorrow especially as the
weather man is promising fair and
warmer weather for the occasion.
The annual Easter parade promises
10 have ideal settings, so far as the
weather is concerned, at least.
Easter has become more or less
of a children's holiday, too, by virtue
of the Easter rabbit idea, and the
Easter egg myth is by no means ex.
pIoded especially when one finds
gaily colored and designed eggs In
hidden nests with note from the
Easter bunny.
The Easter season Is a season OF
flowers and the local florists have
been busy with orders. Plants and
cut flowers are in demand, and even
the early spring garden flowers are
coming out in time for Easter bou-
quets.

GERMANY Refuses Safety.

hunted Press Leased Wire Serv1ce-I
WASHINGTON. March 30.-Ger
MANY has refused to grant safe con-
duct to ships carrying grain to Swift
zsrland. the Swiss government has
informed this country. As result,
grain ships for Switzerland VIII be
held I'D until Germany relents.
The United States promised 10000
tons of grain to be shipped to Swift
zerland by way Of Crete, provided
Germany would promise immunity
from submarine attacks.
Germany's refusal to pledge safe
conduct creates a new internadonl
nroh,em for Svitzerland-as well as
for the Teutons and allies.

". L. Duncan. of Dupont Powder
Company. Plans for Industrial
Workers Participating in United
War Drive-Tc Give One Pay
Day Month for Three Months.
w. L. Duncan CT the Dupont Pow
Fer Company yesterday visited the
Virginia ShipbuilGing Corporation, the
Alexandria Iron Works, the Alexan-
.:ria Aircraft Corporation, the Alexan-
ira Fertilizer {: Chemical Company,
The Corby Baking Company, the Ma
.:onal F;uit Products Co., and the
Virginia Feed and Milling Company
ard held conferences with the repre-
sentatives Of other large factories
here in the interest of the United War
Work Fund Campaign. Mr.. Duncan
1as been successful in organizing the
workers ~ the Dupont plants and in
I,vnchbur", Richmond, DanVille, West
Point ana the chipyard at Newport
News.
The Industrial workers Of Virginia
have worked out plans which pro
vide that each man will give one day
per month for three months to help
furnish funds for the, seven organl-
cations now campaigning for, thirty
thousand dollars in this city. The
men in The army and navy have
worked thirty days, twenty-1onr
hours each day, while these pursuing
peaceful employment are cnly ask
ed to give ore days nay per month
fCr three mcnths. Remember that
these men will continue their servi-
ces until the army is denobi!ized.
These plans have appealed to the
working men elsewhere because OF
their fairness aud labor leaders OF
the country have endorsed the CAM
paign and the local committee has
special pledge cards for this work.
A special committee is today active
IL following up the wo,k started by
Mr.. Duncan and it is believed that
n ousands of dollars will be sGh-
scribed by the men and women en-
nlcyed in the factories OF this city.
