FOR sunday y'School Class
ro-ths Editor OF H-emcrIs Pope; ..a.. o..
Dear madam--I pm, o young girl
seventeen years old aud vice president
OF my Sunday school class. We dance
at eur class meetings, but 1t is against
our faith. Our girls are "pepless. In
other words they have no spirit TO be
come friends with QUO another. We
give parties and not half of the girls
show up. .N..
Now what really am driving at is
this: Our class owes debt to a fund,
We pledged it, aud It is up to w to
pay r.: Gould you kindly suggest some
odd kind Of an eutertainmentc THE
girls arc all older than ]. Dancing
must be barred at this entertainment,
Also what can be done TO make our
class "peppy" aud full OF life.
.. r. \. 7.
You might have costume party. Let
the girls draw for partners and then
let each poir Of partners plan n tablcau
in which they rau both take part, and
make their own costumes. The tablcauN
might be- taken from well known pic
lures, or magazine covers or scenes from
plays or books, hut some general theme
should be chosen ond kept TO by all tbe
'''I tnN lIllNS Oh I0t
aud the costumes be kept secret unit
the evening OF the performance. and le
the titles BE- snnounccd Just before the
tableauX are shown. You can charg'
admission TO the show. aud have refresh
ments like punch or lemonade ant
cakes, aud charge small sum fo
those.
The plaunius for the tablesux shoult
make the girls tdke an interest in on
another. and they will have to shov
pen in getting up the ideas. t.
stimulate their interest YOU might ofte
a .prize for tho participants in th
tablcau which gets the greatest amour
OF applause.
When you give these parties, do yo'
ask the girls TO bring their own friends
Perhaps they do not feel that they know
thn girls iu tho class we'll enough &
enjoy themselves with them. but II the

Increasing Seriousness of Strained Credit Situation Response
bic for Weeks Recurring Liquidation in AH Securities

New York. Feb 2S.-The narrow
and irregular price movement in to.
days stock market carried no signi-
ficanCe whatever, other than to empha-
size the ultra professional caliber of
the current speculation.
Gains outnumbered losses at the
opening, but the undertone indicated
further diversions of speculative sent,.
ment. This was shown by the now.
ment of the railroad stocks. some Of
which supplemented recent advances.
while others were subjected to realiz-
ing sales of bear pressure.
The more noticeable feature attend
ing the operations of the short session
was the apparent switching of specuIa-
tive interest from the industrial to the
rail division. The former showed a
greater degree of resistance. although
apart from Rock Island the movement
Of the group as whole was without

there was more or less pressure. or

prepared to take advantage of all open

narrow bounds, but steels and equip
ments inclined moderately downward
The week $ market was one OF many
disappointments. Instead of being thor
oughly liQuidated, as some observers
seemed 10 think. the market was found
as vulnerable as ever. What was even
more discouraging was the realization
of the hard. cold facts that the money
market situation, instead of having
passed the crisis as supposed. was still

While it had been generally appre

credit situation. yet the prompt passage
Of tho railroad bill by both houses of

provement in market values, particu
larly applying to the railroad shares.
More especially. in view Of tho wide

DRLBBLING LIQUIDATION IN :
SPOTS IN LOCAL MARKET
Iwtaed Dealings Reflection OF High Walls Of Restrain
Placed Upon Al Speculation

The week closed with quiet and
uninteresting local market. There was
evidence Of continued dribbling liaui-
dation at the outset in some few of the
local stocks which had been under mod :
erate pressure in the preceding sessions,
put these offerings were absorbed read :
ny without any further price recess
. In the general market trading was of
Lamlhar halt holiday character and per :
haps more curtailed by reason Of tbo
general disposition evinced TO defer new
commitments in view of the possibilitv
OF important developments over Sun !.
day. This applied to the signing of the
rallroad bill by the President, Supreme
court decisions on Monday and the new
nght that may be thrown on the credit
situation in the bank statements to
ness today. ''''
- Trading in the Insurance Co. ~

tive. In the initial dealings the price
was depressed to 79s. or within Il of
the low level. A much better demand.
however, developed which brought a
rally to .. The stock was u lower
- VI .hSi nOuerdte SelIlng appeared in
United Gas Improvement and Philadel :.
phia Traction, with both closing at the
low prices of the year at 511b and go,
respectively. American Stores common
and preferred were strong at small frac
tional gains.
Pennsylvania Railroad and American
Stores preferred were the stronger
spots, the former being taken at 42%
while the latter was a higher at 90.
1t was altogether an uneventful weel,
in the local market apart from the
fresh liquidating movement which de :
veloped in United Gas Improvement %.
stock yesterday. The greatly curtailed
market operations, however, wore open
reflections of the restraints placed upon
all forms of speculation by the stringent
money market conditions. The money
market pinch is being felt as much in
local market and business circles as at
the other centres of the financial world.
The purse strings of the loaning institu :
tions are steadily being tightened and
accommodations, in SO far as leans,
being more and more restricted.
