RAILROADS NEED.
ENGINES AND CARS
Revolving Fund Set Aside by
Congress to Be Used for
New Equipment.

Urgent need by railroads OF cars
and locomotives is SO great that prac-
ticaIIy all OF the 100000. 900 revolv-
ing fund set aside by Congress for
loans TO the carriers can be used Tor
that type OF equipment. ...
Governor Harding, OF the Federal
Reserve Board, charged by Congress
with the duty OF passing upon the
security offered for railroad loans,
stated today that no applications for
loans have been passed upon, but that
Indications pointed to the bulk OF the
money being used for addition OF car
and locomotive equipment.
Appointment of Paul NJ Warburg,
T.. 4. Delano, and Bradley w. Palmer
as members OF the railway advisory
loan commission has been announced
by Governor Harding. Secretary OF
the Treasury Houston, In approving
the appointment, said it's personnel
had agreed to serve in that capacity
without salary.
The question of how far the public
convenience will be served in i'm
provements contemplated by loans
made under this fund Is regarded by
the board as one of the utmost In
portance in deciding these loans.
During the guaranty period of six
months. under another section CT the
new act, the Secretary of the Treas
ury already has taken up the ques-
tion of making huge advances OF
Government funds to railroads.

T|GHTENS SQUEEZE
ON STUTZ SHORTS
Allan Ryan StartIes Wall Street
BY Declaration Of 10000
Shares as Stock Dividend.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE contro-
yersy between Allan A. Ryan and the
New York Stock Exchange over the
corner in the stock of the Stutz MO-
tor Car Company took a sensational
turn late yesterday when the di-
rectors of the company declared a
stock dividend of 10000 shares with
out nominal or par value, thereby IN
creasing the capitalization from l2o' =
900 shares to 100000.
This greatly increases the embar-
rassment OF the shorts in the stock.
Instead of having to meet the out
standing contracts in the old stock
and pay the market value of the first
stock dividend, which is payable
Monday, they also must arrange
settlement on the 10000 shares of
new stock, which is issued in four
installments of 10000 shares each
July and October s, 1920, and jan
uary S and April 8, 1921.
By this move Mr.. Ryan has pro-
Ionged the agony of the shorts more
than a year unless they settle mean
time. They must be prepared to meet
each installment rs it falls due at
the market price at that time.
Wall Street was staggered at the
boldness of Mr.. Ryan's move. which
came long after the stock exchange
was closed and at the end of any
thing but perfect day for the be-
wildered shorts in Stutz Motors.
BY some it was argued that II
would put a premium on short selling,
as it would encourage shorts caught
in corner to appeal to the gov
ernors for relief
The same people took the ground
| had
right to sell Ryan's Stutz stock short
for the purpose of impairing its in
yestmcnt value than he had to
squeeze them. They argued the stock
exchange should have allowed the
two groups of spectators to tight 1t
out, as the public was not involved
fluctuations in the stock having beer
so erratic as to drive all the margin

AURORA AS EARTH
WENT THROUGH SUN
Force Of Radioaction Says Pro-
lessor, Hurled Atoms Of Ex-
plosion to This Sphere.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-The
earth was passing through the outer
confines OF the corona or exterior en-
velope of the sun on the night OF
March 22 when the Inhabitants OF the
northern portion OF the United states
witnessed the great aurora in the
skies. says Prof. Monroe B. Snyder,
director OF the Phialdelphia Observe
tory.
The astronomer declared that the
"uniyersal force OF radio action on
the sun hurled the final atoms of an
explosion, namely, electrified hydro
gen and probably helium.. straight 10
earth"
Prof Snyder's observations follow:
sun Ia Responsible.
"rhe recent aurora Is "A fine indi-
cation OF the explosive atomic disinte'
grafton which takes place at the sur
face OF the sun and Is responsible for
It's prominences, spots and corona.
Our discovery OF the magnitude and
precise atomic order OF the explosion
)f the chemical elements In the sun,
and in the stars generally, leads to
conceptions OF the aurora and the ac-
companying magnetic and electric
storms, which are beyond any doubt
as To their validity.
During the hours OF Monday night
last the earth was, In very true
sense. and to the delight OF us all,
passing through the outer confines OF
the solar corona. The same universal
force OF radio action which integrates
the atoms in stupendous localized
Krakatoas or Mont Pelees on the sun,
and produces the hydrogen OF the
coronal streamers, then also hurled
the final atoms OF that explosion
namely, electrified hydrogen and
probably helium straight to the earth.
Electric Current.
"Only within about a month OF the
equinox, vernal or autumnal, is the
earth in an orbital position to be thus
successfully bombarded. The moving
electric hydrogen is. OF course, an
electric current, and is therefore car
red toward the poles OF the earth and
around them by the earth's magnetic
forces. The fascinating colors of the
aurora are due to the changing cleo
trio eXcitation of the hydrogen and
other gases. The theory of Negard,
the Swedish physicist. which has eX-
planned the wonderful curtained au-
roras as due to hydrogen particles. OF
positive electric charge, is now shown
to be unquestionably true, in that 1t
Is but a logical result of the explo-
sive eruption OF the electric hydro
gen from the sun.
"The welI-known delay, or lag In
time. between the solar eruption and
the appearance OF the magnetic storm
and accompanying aurora on the
earth, of about forty-five hours, is
due to the time taken for the hydro
gen atoms to travel from the sun to
the earth. The rate of travel is about
$40 miles per second. or somewhat i'm
excess of the rate of the upward
movement of the gases in some OF the
great solar promincnces.
1.-THE numerous and complex details
of the auroral phenomena are found
thus to receive. for the first time,
reasonable explanation. Additional
confirmation of this explanation is
given by the fact that our discoveries
also prove that all the elemental
atoms, so wonderfully explosive in
the stars, are structural products OF
hydrogen" h
