Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, February 7.-An unprece- dented crash in foreign exchange call loans running as high as 9 per cent, and stiffer rates for the more necessary forms of financial accommodation, were the central features of this weeks tur- bulent and reactionary stock market.
 The collapse of international credit quotations brought export conditions to A standstill for time and excited the gravest misgivings respecting the for eign trade movement. This was height ened by rumors of embargoes on various exports from this country, especially cotton.
 Selling of stocks represented a mixture of enforced liquidation and bearish pres sure. the former probably predominant ing. Banks withdrew funds to meet gov ernment payment and other usual sources of supply were closed to spec ulative accounts.
 Extreme reactions for the week ranged from 10 to 45 points in wide variety of stocks, especially oils, motors, equip ments and shippings, Many low-priced specialties were sacrificed at gross re- sessions of to 25 points.
 Favorable developments were ignored. or ohscured by pessimism, which marked the course of foreign exchange. Reports that leading steel mills have sufficient orders to run at full capacity for home consumption into the second and third quarters of the year. elicited little in- terest.
 Reactions in some of the important commodity prices, such as cotton, pro- visions and cereals, were in keeping with the stock market.

CHANGE IN NAME
 BIG DITCH URGED
Bolivian Delegate to Finan- cial Congress Would
 Honor Roosevelt
sv Associated Press

New York. February "A change in the name of the Panama canal to the Roosevelt canal, in honor of former President Roosevelt. was suggested by Jose Tejada president of the chamber of deputies of Bolivia, and delegate to the American financial confer ence, at luncheon of the Nationa! Republican Club here today.
 "Conol Roosevelt brought -Pan-Am- ericanfsm out of the camp of idealism to the reality that we now contemplate with so much pleasure,'' Senor Tejada said. That magnificent achievement the construction of the Panama canal is one of the most useful on this cont- nent and of the century in which he lived and we live. IL stands in all it's majestic grandeur, fully completed, working perfectly"
 "South America and the world at large owe Roosevelt a debt that only never fading gratitude can pay Senor Tejeda addada added. There is only one way that you can satisfy the peo- ole of South America, and that Is by official act of your government, to change it's name to the Roosevelt canal
 Acceptance of the Monroe Doctrine as to the founda tion of a new era of Pan -Americanism was urged by Mir Tejada.
 'If all our countries would accept and express the theory of the Monroe Doctrine" he asserted, "it would be not only a warning of America. to all Europe and Asia, but it would bring, as a consequence. mutual and recip- rocal help of American nations against any external attempt to disturb the neaCe"

distress is particularly acute, We pro pose to sell, in America, orders upon these warehouses in the form of food drafts, which caY be transmitted to friends or relatives in Europe. We propose to harge the buyer of the fod draft the factory cost of the fod plus a reason able margin to cover cost of transporta- tioE and insurance. Profits, if any ac- crue, will be turned over to the European Children's funds"
 The plan is outlined by MT. Hoover as , follows:
 The American relief administration will carry stocks of staple foods in Hamburg, Warsaw, Vienna, Prague and Budapest. Operations limited to the following. staples: Flour, bacon, beans, corned beef, lard vegetable oils and condensed or evaporated milk.
 Banks throughout the United States have been requested to receive payments for such commodities and to issue for such payment food drafts on behalf of the American food administration. These
 drafts must be sent by the buyers to rel atives or friends abroad, where they will
 be exchanged for the quantity of food l designated thereon when presented by 1 the person to whom sent, or his properly | constituted repr esentative. Should the 1 administration not be able for any reason l to deliver food against the draft it will | pe TelurHSu, through the Dank, ana the amount paid for it refunded the buyer,
 less the costs involved. The president of the American Bankers Association has
 approved this plan.
 After filling the order the American
 agents of the relief administration will advise the office in New York, which in turn will advise the selling bank and
 the latter will inform it's customer of the completion of the transaction.
 Orders must be presented within ninety l days after date on the draft, or 1t is
 automatically cancelled and the money 7, refunded.
 Announcing that though this is a benev- l olent relief the administration states it's ! intention to operate on business basis, and that buyers of these drafts fay, if they desi-', deduct the amount of the ex-
 change, Lot exceeding 25 cents, for each draft. If, however, the bank wishes to donate it's services and remits without deducting the exchange fee this with
 other surplus funds which may accrue will become immediatel available to the
 American relief administration European childrens fund.
 MT. Hoover states in his circular letter to the bankers of the United States in ] which he asks their cooperation in thi.

Arrangements have been made with the American Bankers Association whereby they will cooperate with the American food administration in providing for the relief of the starving millions in Europe and make it easy for relatives in this country to send contributions to their kin across the Atlantic.
 Through these arrangements Chairman Herbert Hoover of the American food relief administration, states that food drafts may be purchased at the pan7>s in this country and transmitted thlou7n the hanks to the food administration ana used by the payees in Europe to buy rooo at any of the administratieAs store houses in the countries where rellet Is heinp extended to the suffering people,

Shedding Light on Niagra Falls

1t your train is late and you do not
reach Niagara Falls until after dark you
need not wait until the morning for first
glimpse of natures wonder Science has
solved the problem of making the Falls avail
able for the sightseer at any hour. Scores of
powerful flooding lights now cast their beams
into the swirling spraA and transform the
Falls into an illuminar j spectacle.
The Falls, in spite of all their attrac-
tions during the day, had until recently been,
so far as sightseeing is concerned, rather
dead place, after darkness fell. They were
only dimly visible, and the visitor had to con-
tent himself with vague outlines and the roar
of the rushing waters.
Now, however, the Falls have taken on
new beauty Thousands are seeing the
great waterfall under the light of the great
projectors, which penetrate the darkness and,
except for occasional clouds of spray, throw
the Falls into relief. The largest battery of
lights, 81 in number, is placed on the roof
Of the Ontario Power Companys generating
station. This spot presents an unobstructed
view of all parts of the Falls, except for the
screening, action of the spray, is out of the
way of the public and is close to the source
of power. Under some conditions of wind
and spray, however, the crest of the Falls be-
comes screened by the spray from this posi-
ton and it was evident that bank of pro-
iectors located above the level of the road
way could illuminate this crest and add to
the effect. Consequently group of 10 mar
row angle projectors was installed at the
corner of the observation gallery on top of
Table Rock house. Both these positions are
on the Canadian side.
For the Lighting, 1000 watt lamps are
used. Special water-proofing was necessary
because of the exposed condition of the lights,
and because of the presence of the spray.
Heavy flexible conduits prevent an accumu-
lation of ice and sleet from putting a strain
on the wires.
The conditions existing at the Falls are
different to any usually encountered in Hood
lighting and the distances from projectors
to surface are very much greater, ranging
from 600 to 1900 feet. Many experiments
were made and many mathematical problems
had to be worked out before the size, number
and location of the lights was determined.
The official opening of the food lighting
was a feature of the visit of the Prince of
Wales, who himself pressed the button which
started the illumination. Everett.

Have Ample Authority.

Washington, Feb. 22.-State and
district prohibition authorities have
ample authority under the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act to deal
with the "rebellion against prohibi-
ton" in Iron County, Mich, Depart
ment Of Justice and internal revenue
bureau officials said tonight in dis
cussing the first open Haunting of
the "dry" law to be reported to the
! two government agencies jointly en-
trusted with enforcement of the
statute.
Agents Of prohibition directors Of
flee in Michigan, however, will be
given full cooperation of the Wash
ington authorities, it was said al
though beyond advice and instructions
as to procedure officials were not
able to say tonight just what steps
would be taken here.
Attorney General Palmer was alb
sent fro mthe Capital and reports of
the "revolt" had not reached William
l.. Frierson, acting Attorney General.
1t was pointed out at the Department
of Justice that the request of Major
d. L. Dalrymple, prohibition director
for the Central States, that the At
torney General issue warrants to the
arrest of the Iron County authorities
accused of defying the prohibition law
could not be granted inasmuch as
the judicial and not the prosecuting
branch of the government must swear
out warrants. The Attorney General
might recommend to the United States
district attorney at Grand Rapids that
prompt application for warrants be
made to the nearest United States
commissioner.
Officials predicted that the "rebcl-
lion" would be short lived, saying
that enforcement of the prohibition
laws were entered into with the de-
termination to act swiftly and en-
phatically in case Of any open at
tempt to defy the statutes.
