OFFICIAL FLY CATCHER
 IS AID TO SANITATION yH F

,. RIVERSIDE, Cal, March 27-River- side has an official fly-catcher. His title appears on the payroll as "sani- tary inspector" but he is in reality the town fy-catcher, and he is busy every year from early spring to late autumn.
 = However, the official fly catcher docs not operate with a swatter, as his sole tool of the trade. He has a
 large number of big fly-traps, owned by the city, which he places about the streets, bated with sweet liquids, cleans and keeps in repair. Last year, he says, he caught billion flies, but he admits that this figure is estimated and not count.
 The city fy-catcher also aids other sanitary inspectors in preventing the accumulation of garbage, or other fly attractions and in fact devotes him self exclusively to the pursuit and ex- termination of the little pests.

CALIFORNIA; YIELD OF
 QUICKSILVER IS HEAVY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-Ac- cording to the state mining bureau California yields approximately 70 per cent of the quicksilver output of the United States; and since 1850 has pro- duced total of 2,137,72S fiasks (to the end of 191O, valued at 1,992,- 56O.
 A bulletin recently issued says:
 "The quicksilver industry. though relatively speaking, not as large nor as extensive as some other branches of the mineral business, is, neverthe- less, very vital one in peace times as we'll as in war. In normal peace times 50 per cent of our quicksilver consumption goes into illuminate for blasting caps for quarrying and min ing, as we'll as ammunition. In addi- tion, considerable amount goes into the manufacture of drugs. Some also is used in gold and silver mining. We should not permit ourselves to become dependent on foreign sources for this very necessary metal. Without a suf- ficiently high protective import duty, the United States is at the present time in danger of having its domestic quicksilver industry throttled by for eign competition, particularly from Mexico and Spain. The recovery Of quicksilver requires capital for equip ment and time for development, and is not business which can be picked up and put on a producing basis at moments notice."

DUAL ENFORCEMENT OF
 DRY LAW IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, Feb. 27 (by maiD-ln a partial report on the liquor ques- tion, the territorial grand jury de- clared it's opposition to dual enforce mcnt of the prohibition laws by fed eral and territorial officials. The re- port says federal authorities should take entire charge and that they "can easily handle the situation as soon as the departments at Washington are able to give proper consideration to the situation in the territory.
 Investigation has convinced the grand jury that under dual control, as at present, each set of officials relies largely on the other to enforce the phohibitiOn laws.

RAILROADS TO '.
 BE BIG ISSUEDy :. NEW CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Ad- journment of congress without legis- lation providing solution of the rail- road problem leaves this question as one of the principal heritages of the next congress. Advocates of various plans already have begun to promote propaganda for their respective the ories, and are prepared to urge con- gross to take up consideration early in the next session.
 At that time testimony taken be- fore the senate interstate commerce committee of the recent congress will be available. The new group of legis- lators will be confronted with recom- mendations of seven groups of inter- ests. These are: The railroad ad- ministration, railroad executives, rail- way labor, railroad security owners, interstate commerce commission, ship pers and state commissions.
 The railroad administrations in- dorsement of a flve-year extension of federal management was opposed by all other interests except that the labor groups opposition was qualified. All interests except the railroad ad- ministration and railway labor advo- cated return to private management as soon as congress had enacted legisla- tion permitting a larger measure of unified operation and of stricter gov ernment control. The labor forces proposed government ownership with private management.
 The varied views may be summar- ized as follows:
 Railroad Administration-For five year extension of government control, with alternative of early return of the roads to private management. For mer Director General McAdoo regard ed the five years as period to test all theories; his successor, Walker D. Hines, regarded it as an interim course rather than a test, to give con- gress time to work out permanent, solution Mr. McAdoo presented no permanent solution; MT. Hines pro- posed eventual private management, with mergers of the numerous roads into six or more regional companies, with more uniform financial strength, the government represented on the boards of directors, profits to s4be. shared with the government, and per haps with the employees, and the roads assured adequate return on invest ments.
 Interstate Commerce Commission For private operation, with privilege of pooling equipment and facilities, CO operating in operating plans, mergers within limits, government regulation of securities issues, clarification of the twilight zone between state and fed eral authority, complete mergers in time of war or emergency, regulation of construction and development, and coordination of inland waterways with rail lines. All this would be, un- der the regulation of a government agency, presumably the interstate commerce commission.
 Railroad Executives-For creation of a secretary of transportation to su-

The most noteworthy feature of
the money market was the increas-
ing ease in rates and the continued
contraction of credits. The New
York Clearing House banks re-
vealed falling off during the week
of $44,000,OO0 in demand deposits
and S31, 100000 in loans. The
New York Federal Reserve Banks
showed still another fall in out
standing Federal Reserve notes,
the volume of which has been
steadily diminishing with the slow
ing up in trade. The total reported
was $773,000,000 contraction
for the week of S8,o0O,000.

Easily The most important inhu-
ence on the stock market last week
was the removal Of the restrictions
on money. Prior to the first intima-
tlons Of that, on Friday, the market
was dull and unresponsive. Prices
sagged. Pessimism thrived. There
was nothing in the industrial outlook
to encourage a change of attitude.
Optimistic forecasts by leaders in
the steel trade discreetly passed
over the coming three months. "The
Iron Age" announced that mills had
orders on their books for only a
month ahead. Plants are working
at 90 per cent capacity, and it is
predicted from the steel centres that
they will soon fall off to SO per cent.
Steel common fell on Tuesday to
SS&, the lowest price in ten months.
But, no matter how pessimistic
spectators may be on the industrial
and commercial future, prices of
stocks ultimately reach point
where they discount much that the
future holds in store, and, even be-
fore that point is reached. the con-
tinuous selling by real holders Of
securities and the additional selling
by professional traders who borrow
stocks to sell, must bring about a
temporary condition within the mar
ket from which the only relief is a
rise. This was the sole meaning of
the advance on Wednesday and
Thursday.
But on Friday came a real change.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
declared dividends equal to the
amount paid the previous quarter,
IN spite of expectations to the con-
trary. That was a positive factor
outside the market itself. Then
came the limitations during Fri
days market that the restrictions on
money would be removed. Immedi-
ately activity broadened and stocks
advanced. The announcement ap-
peared after the close of the market.
On Saturday was such spectacle
as this. Steel common rose IL
points to 81, then closed at 91ss
Baldwin Locomotive rose from it's
closing price of 7O14 on Friday to
73, and closed again at 70A. Mexi-
can Petroleum, from a Friday clos
ing of 1711a, jumped to 174%, but
fell back to 1852. The general |
trend of the market conformed to
these more violent fluctuations.

be used as "bear argument" Call
money rates are unusually low. The
banks, it is cynically intimated,
cannot make commercial loans
enough because of the slackening
of business generally, therefore they
have large surplus that they would
like to offer to the stock market
Commercial slackness is not a bull
argument. And that is not all The
Stock Exchange authorities told the
money committee that they do not
look for any big speculation. Big
specultion always means a rising
market, never a falling one. A fall
ing market does not call for loans
1t is not speculation, but liquida-
ton.
The trend Of bond prices during
the past week was lower. Liberty
bonds declined, possibly in antici-
patton of an increase in the interest
rate on the next government war
loan. Foreign government bonds
were firm. J. P. Morgan & Co. an
nounced the formation Of a syndi-
cate to pay off all the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland
51a per cent notes maturing Feb
ruary / that remain unconverted
into the twenty year 51s per cent
British government bonds. More
than half of the $144, 100000 of
outstanding notes have already
been converted.

After all, is the decision of the
money committee such a desirable
elimination, and does it auger we'll?
While the restrictions" are re-
moved, so also is the help. The
money pool' is dissolved. The pur
pose Of that pool was to come to the
rescue Of the market on a tenn
porary dearth Of loanable funds;
but the banks have probably decided
that if they cannot have control
over the volume of loans to the
stock market, they do not inteLd to
assume the responsibility Of COM
ing to its rescue il it goes too far.
That removes an element of safety.

The action Of the market was
perhaps disappointing to those who
Joined ecstatically in the shout that
the cid is off the MARKET" but
viewed from another aspect, there
was no real good reason to expect
anything different. But there is an
other aspect. There was no lid on the
market. 1t is probable that not one
house in twenty-five in the last two
months had to refuse an order
from customer because it's loans
we're up to the limit. Ask the aver
age broker whether he has had to
turn down buying orders and he
thinks you are trying to be ironic.

his place in history. It said no.

If it were mere detail in the work of
the day, and without a moments fal-

would surely have been nominated and

out of the open window. Always

morning sunlight falling upon his face
and shoulders. He had observed my
emotion and l think it had touched
him little. There was moment Of
silence. A curious Illusion came to me
then. for it seemed as if l heard the
sound of distant music. Looking
thoughtfully out of the window he
asked:
