General Motors, made a sensational
advance al the opening Of the market
gaining 20 points to an absolute high
record OF 409.
The error OF the reserve bank con-
eisted in a failure to correct before
making comparisons the error OF the
previous week when s1s,ooo.0oo of
gold was omitted. AS the incorrect
of $4,000. 900 OF gold a correct
statement would have shown the loss
to be $4,000. 600. The incorrect
statement showed an increase of re-
serves whereas in fact the reserve

New York, March c2.--Light deal
ings and Irregular price movements
characterized the opening of curb
trading today. There was apparently
very little public interest in the mar
ket and the trading was sluggish in
comparison with the buoyant activity
on the stock exchange. With the
continuation OF the seven per cent
rate for money better activity set in.
followed by better prices In a number
of issues.
The mining shares were sluggish
and irregular with small net changes.
Some of the coppers are showing a
tendency toward better prices with
the prospects Of big exports. but as
yet the improvement is not of large

Refugees wen Provided For

Paris, March 22.--More than ZOO
zoe French and Belgian refugees, re-
burning to their former homes in the
Aevastated regions. have successfully
passed through the worst part of the
winter. When they began to return
last autumn, grave misgivings were
seNprAssed as to whether or not they
could survive the bitter winter months.
French government officials and the
american Red Cross co-operated with
the returning refugees, and assistance
IN the way OF money and supplies was
contributed to provide homes for the
SNtnfex. Rudely constructed huts and
sduEonts were replaced by barracks so
none remained homeless or exposed.

Eve see repeated claims that we
are falling behind In the air game.
But America can always be relied

American steel and wire and
other materials lead the world In

hold up our end of the game In spite
of governmental effort abroad.

tNationA, Crop Improvement sssvice.l
Red Durum wheat, known as
d." put out come years ago, has
been found to be dismal failure on
ac~,unt Of lack Of milling quality.
There 10 much Of 1t offered for
sale this year for seed. 1t made a
pretty fair crop and went through
rust fairly well, but there was no
market for It last year except the
government, which took 1t because
It was wheat. The millers did not
want It, the macaroni men did not
want 1t. 30 all that was left for 1t
wns To sell 1t at big discount for
rrinding into chicken feed.

Beware OF It. It IL = positive

both. While It Is called Red Durum,.
It should not be COMPOUNDED with
Kubanka, Arnautka and other anu
Der Durums which. while their mar
ket is limited. are excellent for
macaroni, etc.
There Is no market for so-called
trust proof Durum wheat. Do not
seed it under any circumstances. II
is no good. 1t Is not only worthless
itself, but II 1t becomes mixed with
your other grain 1t will ruin It.

Bryan Victory Said
To Insure Dry Plank

Charles w. Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb
the lighting brother" of Colonel Will
lam ]. Bryan and his chief political
adviser, last night sent the following
telegram to a friend in New York:
'Mr. Bryan elected delegate at-large
and carries a majority of the state
delegation with him. He defeated Ar
thur Mullen, Democratic national COM
mitteeman, for reelection. Mullen is
Senator Hitchcock's manager and the
rcactionary leader of Nebraska. 1t is
remarkable victory for Mr.. Bryan,
for honesty and sobriety, and crush
ing defeat to the opposition. and a fit
ting showing Up of Senator Hitchccck's
preferential Presidential vote. with no
opponent on the ticket except a poor
livery stable man. 1t is very humili-
ating to the Senator's friends every
where. This more than fulfills the
forecast made in The New York Trb-
une three months ago
1t is understood that the victory Of
Colonel Bryan will land him on the
platform committee, with the probabl-
itv that he will be its chairman.
Colonel Bryan said recently in a Trlb-
une interview that the San Francisco
convention would approve a dry plank,
and that the Democratic organization
Of New York, which just at that time
had adopted a wet plank at its state
convention, would at San Francisco re-
verse itself and approve national
platform with dry plank put in there
by men minded like himself.

are Miss Mary M. Woolley. president OF
Mount Holyoke College: Miss Martha

dean Of Smith College; Miss Abby Mar
lott, University of Wisconsin,; Dr.. Au-
rclia Rinchart, Mills College, and Miss
Isabel Bevier, University of Illinois.
The Hoover New Jersey Republican
Club, of Newark, at a meeting yester-
day. decided to make formal protest
against the primary ballots which omit
blank space for writing in a voters
personal choice for President. The
delegates who are unpledged have pub
licly announced they will be guided at
the Chicago convention by these bal
lots, which as now printed have shut
out the Hoover people from all posi-
bility of giving expression to their
choice. The Newark committee will
call meeting of the state committee
for Friday Of next week to align Hoover
sentiment throughout the state
