Recovery In LEGAL Rord.


But the first phase Of that cycle ha.
been fulfilled.
Legal bonds, first mortsa re four per
cent bonds, sold before the war at
from SO to 102.
During the war these bonds. payine
the same interest and backed bv the
same security. dropped to around ~,
causing the savings bank and other
investors capital depression of about
80 per cent.
The turn has come in the market
for legal bonds; they are now quoted
from rs to so. Second.rate bonds. such
as second mortgages, which sold be.
fore the war at around 30, suffered a
drop to SIS. They have now recovered
to ~.
The first phase has had it's definite
beginning; the second phase seems to
be approaching as a reality: and the
third phase, being dependent upon the
other two, cannot materialize until

Opposition Testimony.

Opposition Testimony.
HI, A. Metz, of New York city, dye
manufacturer and importer, continued
his testimony in opposition to the en-
barge when the committee resumed
the hearings.
Metz declared that he favored ample
protection for the dye industry Ito
prevent the scrapping of factories
built during the war when national
necessity demanded the manufacture
of coal car sproducts," but expressed
the belief that this could be accom-
plished without an embargo.
The committee hoped to complete
hearings today on the embargo pro-
vision, after which a number of Gov
eminent experts will testify on the
American valuations plan at the re-
quest of Senator Smoot. of Utah.
At the conclusion of this testimony
the entire committee will go into ex-
ecutive session to determine upon the
fate of the dye embargo and the Amer
lean valuati plan. s

the liquidation from war prices has

recovery in some commodities during
the last few weeks: other commod.
tiles, such as the metals, which have
not all given signs OF such upward
reaction, have not, in other words,
yet touched their low, pre-war levels.
1t is apparent then. that not quite
yet can we say that the second

Pre-War Precedent.

In the old days, before the war. II
was the judgment of men who had
been long in the Street that, after a
long decline in the stock market, the
turn could not be expected until the
slow recovery was beginning to be
apparent in conservative bond issues.
According to that precedent, the
"old line" bonds first displayed their
strength, then business began to pick
up generally, and the stock market
rise would follow in the normal
course of events
In a great number of commodities.

Discussing disarmament, Admiral
Coontz advised against stopping any
of the 1916 building program so far as
big ships were concerned.
Secretary Daniels, in making public
his letter, pointed out that by allied
agreement the United States was obli-
gated to destroy the Osfriesland, and
other former German naval vessels
given this country, as soon as expert
ments under way were concluded. He
could think of no more fitting or use
full method of destroying them, he said,
than by using them in aviation bomb
ing experiments. He intimated that
the old battleship Iowa, already fitted
with radio control apparatus, would
be used for similar purpose.
The Osfriesland was one of the
more modern battleships of the former
kaiser's navy, mounting Pinch guns.
1t is fitted with a very thorough sys-
tenn of bulkheads and water-tight COM

Senate Prefers Blue Air to Blue Laws

Spirited debate preceded the rejec-
tion of the Smoot amendment. Sen
ator Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat.
declared that the measure was adroit-
ly framed so that it would not for
bid senators and representatives smOk-
ing in the capitol, although it would
prevent the president from enjoying
an after-dinner cigar at the White
House. He considered this unfair dis
elimination.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Re-
publican, agreed with him. He called
attention to the fact that the bill
merely tabooed the smoking of tobac-
co and insisted the measure should
be amended to cover "alleged" tobac-
co.
"Some of the odors that arise in the
cloak rooms from the cigars gentle
men are smoking, make ME doubt
whether they can be called tobacco
said Senator Knox.
Senator Smith of Arizona, Democrat,
characterized the measure as "the en-
tering wedge of a most contemplate
and restraining blue law" and charged
that its supporters were nonsmokers.
Senator Smith declared that If this
sort of legislation were to be enacted
the United States would raise gen

@ MOKING by employees Is held re-
- sponsible for several fires that
have recently occurred in government
buildings. In at least one of these
fires valuable archives were destroyed.
Senator Smoot of Utah has been trying
to get in an amendment somewhere
that would prohibit smoking during
business hours.
Nevertheless, the senate has de-
clined to embark on the max
ing of blue laws. BY an overwhelming
majority, it rejected an amendment
by Senator Smoot banning smoking
in the government departments
1t did however, adopt a mild sub
stitute offered by Senator Wadsworth
of New York, leaving it to the discre-
ton of department heads TO forbid
smoking where valuable public records
were endangered.
