An attempt to upset the commits
tees decision to recommend Ala
media for the fleet base was de-
feated after the subcommittee had
heard several admirals.
The full committee which preyi-
ously had voted 10 locate the gen.
eral base at Alameda, is expected
to adopt the subcommittee report
Monday.
One point in controversy before
the subcommittee was said to be
the future of the Mare Island navy
yard. The navy general board, it
was said, in favoring Alameda said
that location would involve event
ual abandonment Of the Mare Is-
land navy yard.
The committees report, it was
said, would not recommend aban-
donment of Mare Island, but would
propose its retention as a repair
station for vessels of light and
moderately heavy draft.
Representative Padgett. demo-
crat, Tennessee, was said to have
raised objections to the proposed
aviation base at Sand Point, Wash,
on the ground that airplanes could
not enter it from every side. Sena-
tor POindeXter, republican, Wash
ingtOn, was said to have succeeded
in holding in the committees find
ings the choice of Sand Point.

Dan Cupid's second hardest blow
the blow that sent him reeling
dizzily--came when a number of
students at the Mattoon high
school retaliated by forming an
opposing organization to try to
make out of the girls of today 1.-The
kind of girls our mothers We're"
1t was at meeting Of the Chris
tian Endeavor society a week ago
that Mr.. Mckee urged the girls to
sign pledges not to keep company
with boys who used the weed. 3"
Twenty-Five pledges were signed
Immediately and during the past
week the club grew in leaps and
bounds. The Christian Endeavor
society girls now hope to induce
every girl in town to join their
ranks.
"Do you want to stand around
while some boy is smoking a Gig
aret or walk up the street with
him as he bangles the silly thing
in his teeth or do you want to
smell the nasty smoker they
argued. The answer, they say, is
usually mo and a new signer to
the pledge is obtained.
It was then that the boys de-
cided something must be done.
They missed seeing their sweet
hearts and a number of the
male students at the local high
school formed a club. the men,
bers signing pledges as follows.
Il do solemnly affirm that | will
not court a girl who persists in:
Wearing knee-length skirts.
Wearing low cut waists below
the point where mother wore them
when she was a girl.
Wearing silk stockings.
Using paint or rouge.
Attending dances minus her
corset.
pulling out her eyebrows or
wearing her nair in such style so
as to hide her ears"
Mr.. Mckee looks upon the boys
organization as merely bluff
club to frighten the girls out of
their stand against tobacco"
IT would DO q good thing,

county any, for Canuto Alarid
seems slated for the post.
Cleofus Romero has already
thrown up his hands in the scrap
for warden of the penitant.ary.
The selection of Placido Jaramillo,
of Valencia county, is being fore
casted by many shrewd observers
of state affairs. This would be n
decided victory for the Otero
forces. Governor Mechem, how
ever, could easily neutralize the
conflict by a straight efficiency ap-
pointment-the naming of p. j..
Dugan, the present warden, to
succeed himself.
San Miguel county did get the
captaincy of the mounted police,
this plum going to Lorenzo Delga

ernor's recommendation to the leg
islature advised the discontinuance
of the mounted police, and the leg
islature is proceeding With due
diligence on its course of carrying
out his recommendations.

Market Neus

NEW YORK, Feb. 9-The stock mar
lxet today fulfilled in moderate meas
ure its promise of greater strength and
activity, as indicated by the vigorous
rebound late yesterday Aside from re-
taxation of rates for call money no Wis
ible change occurred in the factors
which have held the market in check.
Adoption of the Winslow bill by the
house implying partial compensation
of claims by the railroads against the
government failed to stimulate more
than intermittent inquiry for repre-
sentative transportation shares.
Cumulative signs that the steel in
dustry is near price readJustment
gave impetus to issues of that char
acter.
AS a group, oils again monopolized
the bulk of speculative attention. Pools
were active in General Asphalt, Mex
lean Petroleum and kindred shares.
Highest prices were recorded in the
final hour but the market reversed at
the first indications of profit taking
in such issues as Crucible Steel and
Mexican Petroleum, an easy tone ruling
at the close. Sales, 100000 shares.
All call loans were made at z per
cent, the lowest uniform rate in many
weeks. Foreign exchange was confused,
dealers reporting little business save
in sterling and French francs.
Liberty issues and the bond market
eased variably on very smallest deal
ings, new offerings also reacting. Sales,
par value, $9,125, 900.
CHICAGO, Feb. profit taking on
the part of some of yesterdays buy
ers disclosed lack of support in the
wheat market today and prices IN
derwent a material decline. Bears
meanwhile circulated messages from
the southwest making light OF talk
about crop damage from green bugs.
1t was said to be too early in the sea-
son to take damage reports except at
a heavy discount. Opening prices,
which ranged from q to 2 cents lower,
with March s1.6o1a to s1.60A and May
s1.511s to s152A, were followed by
moderate rallies and then by down
turns lower than before.
Corn gave way with wheat. After
opening "a to II cent down including
May at 81 to CTS cents. the market
reacted a trifle and then sagged again.
Oats were weak as a consequence of
the action of other grain, starting I'M
changed to II cent off, May AZ rs to 44A
and continuing to decline.
Provisions reflected the downward
tendency of cereals and hogs.
