The inside history OF the peculiar
market action OF General Motors stock
yesterday. when It nrst established
new high at 400 and then registered a
sheer drop OF l6 points to 363 Is re-
ported to be a hurried calling OF the
Securities Committee Of the Stock Ex-
change !ate session and the equally
hurried printing OF notice on the tape
that ten shares OF the General Motors
temporary certificates would constitute
delivery for a share OF It's old com
mon stock. In the language OF Wall

Stock Exchange "smelled corner and

Old Time New Year Calls

IN the late sixties. says G. H. Putnam
 in Memories of a Publisher" New
 York had not yet outgrown certain of its old fashioned or so called provin- cial habits. One of the customs was that of making New Years calls, a practice that had been inherited from the Dutch founders of the city. Long before the beginning of the twentieth century the growth of the metropolis had made impossible this pleasant and convenient habit of coming into touch Cat least once year) with circle of family friends, but in 1866 the ladies still stayed at home on New Years day, and old men and youngsters did what they could ill the hours between Il in the morning and midnight to check off with calls of from five to fifteen min utes their own visiting list with that of their wives. their sisters or their mothers.
 In my own diary for Jan. l, 1866, find the entry, "AInde thirty-five calls" I remember on that day coming back in the middle of the afternoon for word with my mother and finding old Mir. Bryant in her parlor. Ii was sleet- ing violently outside. and the luxurious young men of the day were going about in coupes. It was. the practice, ill order to save expense for two or three men to join in the expense of a carriage for the day. Mir. Bryant. however, had trudged through the sleet and ill re- sponse to some words from my mother of appreciation of his effort in coming out in such weather replied cheerily: "Why, rather like fresh tempera- ture, Mrs. Putnam. It is only the young men who are chilly and lazy"
 Fifteen or eighteen years later New Years calls in society had become . tradition of the past

saw the tun in his part and made the audience see it too. The sec ond scene was in the home of the poor family. Margaret Northrop was the mother of six children, sup porting the family out of her me1g- CT earnings. There were the baby and the two small boys, David Davis and Raymond Wheeler who did want their marbles and balls. The older boys parts were taken by James Wheeler and John Grant. Murl Davis, a girl of 10 was mothers assistant, and Ralph Davis took the part of Santa Claus. The parts were all difficult and we'll taken.
 After the program, the Christ mas presents and prizes were dis tributed. The rector received a small, old ivory cross, a gift from the Guild.

Gov. Thos. Riggs, Jr., a few days ago cabled to Dr. s. c. Shur- ick, acting assistant surgeon, that he was sending the Bureau of Fisheries boat, the Murre, to Wrangell to be at his service. For some reason, probably rough weather, this plan was changed. A second message from the gov ernor stated that the Bureau of Fisheries boat, Auklet, had been instructed to report to the acting assistant surgeon at Wrangell. Dr. Shurick states that he ex- poets to make a trip to Shakan the latter part of the week.

Christmas at St. Philips

The Christmas services, both midnight and morning, were we'll attended.
 The popular feature of the day was the Bible school Christmas tree celebration, on Christmas even- ing at the Gymnasium. The first play was Santa Claus, Junior. Dorothy Johnson was the hostess at party, and being mad at Fred Moore" invited Santa Claus, Jun for instead. Kendall Northrop was her practical, matter-of-tact, com mon sense brother. James Waters was the boy, Doubling Thomas" Gertrude CarlStrom and Wilfred Gartley wanted to know where the dolls and skates come from. Mar iorie Johnson and Erma Grant were the sarcastic guests, and they all centered around Santa Claus, Jun for, James Wheeler, who answered their questions in sharp, shrewd way.
 In this play there were several delightful recitations. The little people reciters were Annie Osborn and Gerald McGlynn. There was a dialogue by Warren Gartley and Gertrude Goodrich. A splendid duet by the Misses ohnson was sung with Miss Erma Grant at the piano. Gertrude Osborn gave the Turkeys Lament" and Helen Hodges, though only eight years old, recited with the composhre and force of an accomplished elecution- ist. The play closed by chorus from the whole company.
 Alter the play came recitations by Esther Johnson and Martha Ukas. Three others were, Nellie Rowley. who represented the To- quacious old maid shopper; Lloyd Tucker, who gave The Small Boys Confesslon;" Joel Wing who most feelingly gave John Kendrick Bangs Santa Clause Assistant. l"
 The final play was s'Mrs. Santa Claus Militant. Mrs. Santa Clauses part was well taken by Helen Fletcher. She surprises the old negro servant, Noah, in a rich mans house. Noah's part was taken by Robert Edmunson, who

Christmas at BayvieW
By Envoy Collins N ative Salvationist

The following is brief ac- count of our Christmas activities: :: Johnnie Nickerson. Army Post Sergeant Major, was appointed to collect money for Christmas candy and apples. He raised $1l5 in one day. Our program was given on Christmas night, and the candy and apples were given out together with the large number of gifts on the tree. It took a large force of men over two hours to distribute everything that was brought in. A collection was taken at the entertainment for the small number of poor in our village. We have only four peo. pie in need, and for them we raised $71. 15, the entire amount of which will be distributed to them by the Army officers.
 The program which was excel lent, was given by the children of the town, assisted by the Town Band and the choir of the Pres byterian Church.
 During the program a number of speeches were made by the older men in which they took oc- casion to refer to the progress that has been made during the past 20 years. Prior to that time most of our people lived in old Tuxecan. There were no side- walks; many people were with out shoes. Fifty people lived in one house no better than a smoke house. But through the influence of the Gospel brought to us by the Salvation Army and the Church they turned away from the old customs that led to pow erty.
 Now, in our village, we are liv- ing in modern houses. This fali and winter there are 13 new houses being built, besides plans for a cottage hospital which we hope to see under way soon after the first of the year. Everything is changed through the teaching
