 Chattanooga. The committec was aided very much in this work by Carl Hinton of Denver, Col, adjutant and chief of staff of the Sons of Confed crate Veterans. Mir. Hinton offered his services to the committee a month ago without charge to aid In every possible way in the reunion work His influence among the Sons of Vet erans throughout the entire south has had much to do with the fine sup port the committee is receiving from that organization. In fact. the serv- lees that MT. Hinton has rendered the commit ee have been invaIabule.
 The reunion committee expects q large crowd at the reunion. There ie intense interest in the meeting all over the south, as instanced by d large demand for Identification cer- cueates from the many command CTS, adJutants and all other classes of people authorized to enjoy the low rate of cent a mile. But few peo- pie believe that the reunion attend ance wlli be under 50.000 to 60,ooo. Chattanooga Is prepared to accom-. modate an attendance of that size

Madame had had no inten- tons of taking the French girl with her. until she discovered that gem erous Mir.

 MEASURE PASSES
Association Against Prohibit ton Amendment Threatens Trouble In Case the Bill
 Is Enacted
By HUGH W. ROBERTS WaAhin1to ton Bureau, The AKe-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington. October 17.-(Special) The troubles of MT. Yolstead and the proponents of the anti beer" bill will be far from ended when that measure is enacted into law, according 10 Capt. William H. Stayton, founder and cX- ecutive vice president of the National Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, who, in a statement to- day, said that if the bill passes the Senate and Is signed by President Harding, his society will imne- diately bring suit to test its consti- tutionality, and will carry increase to the supreme court if it becomes necessary.
 This litigation" Captain StaYton announced will be in charge of a committee of prominent lawyers. doc- tors and laymen who are members of the association. After the law has been declared unconstitutional. the association will go into the districts of the senators and congressman who voted for 1t and will point out to their constituents that they were duly warned of the unconstttutionality of the bill, and that, in spite of warn ing, and under the lash of the Anti saloon league, they sacrificed the constitution of the United States and voted improperly
 Captain Stayton announced that lis association is forming state and local branches throughout the United States with offices conveniently To- cated in large cities, and that in ad- dition 1t k conducting huge mail campaign from it's principal office at Washington. Every one of our of fices is humming with activity" ho stated We have already absorbed tho memberships of several of the smaller liberal societies that have been formed In various parts of the coun- try during the past few years. and are this fall launching nation-w wide campaign, which we hope will crys- tallize and make potent the wide spread and rapidly increasing senti- ment against prohibition"
 According to Captain Stayton, the present membership of 250,O00 only marks the beginning of the work tf the association He expects that over a million voters will be enrolled by the end of the year, and said the necessary machinery is now being prepared to organize this voting strength into an active machine for combating Anti saloon league candi- dates and influence.

ALL IN READINESS FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS REUNION
Cots and Blankets Secured In Case Chattanooga Homes Unable to Take Care
 of Veterans

Chattanooga, October 17.-t tSpecial) The Confederate reunion committee has about completed all of its ar arrangements to entertain the veterans and their friends when they arrive here for their thirty-first an nual meeting. october 25 to 27 inclu- sive. Cots and blankets have been secured to be used If the homes of Cha tanooga prove inadequate 10 house all of the veterans. These cots will be placed in steam-heated build ings for the most part to guard against a possible low temperature or cold wave; but the weather rec ords show that good weather usually prevails in this territory the last Of October and the first of November, so but little fear is entertained on that score. The forecast now is for clear, frosty mornings all three days of the reunion, but warm days for tho time of year.
 Programme Completed
 The reunion programme has been completed and given to the printers No material change has been made In the original draft which has been explained already in this correspond ence. One feature of the programme  at least Is far better than was at first anticipated, and this Is music. The music committee. of which Mrs. John Lamar Meek Is chairman, has succeeded in oranizing a reunion choral class of 800 voices to supply the vocal music for the reunion oc- casion. This large class will be sup plemented by the well-known Con federate choir of Virginia. The re- union committee has definitely ar ranged for the Virginia choir to be al the reunion. No former reunion ever had such vocal music as will be heard in Chattanooga.
 All necessary mounts have been se- cured for the various parades from the army post at Fort Oglethorpe' and all of the horses are well trained for parade occasions. Each of the vari-' ous parades will be among the best seen at former reunions, and will prove a. delightful feature of the event.

Tho bears, seekers after lower quo
tations, who in fiction. are always de-
scribed as wicked, ignored the Christ
mas spirit last week and chopped
away mcrcilcssly at the price structure
of securities. The reaction, measured
in actual price changes, however, was
significantly slight, especially in view
of the fact that the market has climbed
upward since midOctobcr and, with the
exception of temporary setback, the
trend has been toward higher levels
since late in August, when the low
levels of the year were attained. Weeks
ago those who take a mechanistic, in
ternal view of the stock market value
were predicting reaction, but the
natural recession was prevented by the
development of highly constructive in
ternational news and intimations at
Washington and at London, which we're
powerful enough to cause further
gains, moderate yet consistent in Sc
curities, but more spectacular in ster-
ling and the Continental exchanges
Hence this week, when the outpouring
of favorable material in the matter of
international politics was temporarily
halted, buying impulses became weaker
and professional spectators perceived
an opportunity to profit by short sales
Their operations caused moderate price
recessions, but no substantial liquida
ton. By Friday afternoon the pro-
fessionals began to buy back securities
to obviate being short over the koli-
days.
Christmas is spiritual day, when
mere money matters are subordinated.
Employees in Stock Exchange houses,
which have suffered financially from
the decreased public interest in specu-
lation this year, received fewer bon
uses this year than last or in 1919
Bond houses and banks were more
LIBERAL. Ordinarily the investment busY
mess is more leisurely than the ways
of the stock market broker, but in the
last six months the bond houses have
been so unprecedentedly busy that
their emloyees, strained by steady
stream Of new issues, are especially
grateful for an extra days holiday. In
this paradoxical year, the rewards in
the matter of bonuses and other evil
dences Of good business go to those
involved in the safe and sane trade of
vending Investments. Those engaged
in the more spectacular trade Of direct
ing the machinery of speculation, who
are motivated by the hope of extraordi-
nary profits, arc, on the other hand,
completing comparatively unprofit-
able year.
Movement Of rates on money for
speculative purposes last week was con-
trary to the trend for the long run as
generally viewed in the financial dis
trict. The quotation stiffened up as funds
we're drawn from New York in connec-
ton with requirements arising from
year-end adjustments, and the firmer
rate was not regarded as significant for
that reason. The effect of the tempo
