chants cooperating to the fullest ex-
tent in such an organization. The
need of merchants bureau was
touched upon, as was the program
and ticket advertising, which he in
timated was undesirable. He spoke
of feature that was being put on
at the present time by the bureau in
Saginaw, a buy-at-home program,
which he believed would achieve
some fine results. In closing, he
urged that all merchants of the city
should feel equally responsible in
home trade and industry building.
l.. p. Thurston, secretary Of the
Merchants Division of the Kalama-
zoo Chamber of Commerce, the last
speaker of the evening, opened his
address with the statement. "The
secret of successful citizenship is to
be found in personal responsibility"
He then said that no chamber of
commerce, merchants bureau, lodge.
or other organization could expect to
succeed in a greater degree than the
degree in which the membership
realizes its personal responsibility
and aids in the success of the ven
ture. He urged a thorough organic
alton and called attention to the fact
that the retail merchants are essen
tial in every community, especially
in view of the fact that they come
into very close contact with the
homes of the community that they
serve.
Service, he said, is the thing that
is being demanded of the individual
and the corporation and that the sue
cess that is TO be met with depends
upon the service that is given. After
pounding home this point he urged
that all retailers of Alma become
members of the Retail Merchants
Bureau here, and do things to keep
the organization alive
He also urged the sanction Of a
committee to investigate advertising.
and TO decide what should be adver-
tised and what should not be adver-
tised. In bringing his address to a
close he said, Faith and confidence
are the essentials Of every under
taking"
Following his address the mer-
chants at the meeting unanimously
voted to form the Retail Merchants
Bureau Of the Alma Chamber of
Commerce. +. G. Mapes of Eichen-
berg d Co. was elected as president
OF the bureau, and this was followed
by the election of ID. ". Robinson as
vice-president and Earl C. Clapp as
treasurer. The secretary of the

London, April 10.
The most remarkable feature OF last
week, with its whiriing industrial crisis
In this country. was the strength of the
stock market in the face of the menace
or general strike. Business was quiet.
but prices We're marked up.to meet the
situation and closed very firm. There
was no attempt al any time to STAMPEDE
prices. and although when the market
closed Friday serious extension of
the trouble with the miners TO their
partners in the Triple Alliance-th, rail-
road men and the transport workers.
seemed inevitable, the market SILL
preserved its sang froid, maintaining
forward tendency.
The truth was that Capel Court, white
always yearning for Industrial peace.
was hopeful that the labor Disagree
ments were a prelude to clear cut In
dustrial settlement, based on economic
realities. which would give the future
trade OF the country better opportun-
ties.
Despite the definite involvement OF the
rails showed wonderful strength. Pro-
fessional support no doubt accounted
for most of the buying, but the fart re-
mains that prices shaped wonderfully
we'll under the most depressing condi-
tons. Grand Trunks were again agt-
tated, owing to the action by the Cana Z
dian Government In Withholding the
money required for the April I interest
on the 6 per cent. secured notes and
In connection with the Mountain
section the ''Prairie section and the
Lake Superior" bonds OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific.
The week showed only small dealing
In oils. At times there was some sell
Ing BY nervous holders. but professional
traders mainly determined the course of
prices.
Anything calculated to make railroad
transportation costlier or less reliable
such as the present stoppage OF coal
production in the British Isles-ob-
viously quickens interest in motor trac-
ton, and the dependence of motor trac-
ton on rubber tires favors rubber en-
terpriscs, all Of which was reflected in
market prices last week
One factor helping the industrial sit
uation was that Lancashire and other
important manufacturing centres re-
ported having ample stocks OF coal on
hand to carry them over the miners
dispute, and this helped business gen.
orally to withstand the strain.
But for the acute stage OF the coal
crisis the Bank OF England rate prob
ably would have come down on Thurs
day. Indeed, this reduction In the Bank
rate may be regarded as only post
poned. and when 1t comes II may be
looked on as an 'all clear" signal to
the financial world.

sIump Minus Big selling.

These are gloomy facts. but il should
be noted in connection with the slump
OF two Of the country's leading indus
tries that the more recent stages have
rot been accompa MED by heavy selling
Of securities. Nor has the Impoverished
situation Of tho railroads promoted grca;
liquidation Of railway stocks and bonds.
True. prices have lost ground In the
last six weeks. but the volume OF busi-
ness recorded on the markets has been
relatively small.
The argument that LIQUIDATION OF last
autumn discounted conditions now cur
rent hardly answers tho question, be-
cause the securities sold In the break Of
last November and during later months
went into tho hands Of buyers who are
willing TO hold them now. Otherwise
there would have been further heavy
sales and extenFlve price declines In the
last few weeks.
AS II is. tho stock market activities OF
March and thus far in April Indicate
that professional specuators have been
instrumental In the main In getting
etocks down. Increasing numbers OF
share owners reported by both indus
trial and railroad companies disclose the
faith OF investors that business and
transportation conditions will gradually
right themselves later on. But no one
may predict that steel or copper or the
railroads or any other commodity or de-
rartnent Of the business structure IL
ready SET 70 record anything more tnan
the initial stlrrings OF recovery.

Douglas will take her maiden name OF
Ella MAR Bennett. She married
Douglas In New York in 1920.
The career of Douglas, as detailed
in court here, sounds more like high
ly-colored modern novel Of adventure
than a chapter from real life. Al
though he is only thirty-three years
old. he served as major in the Brazil
ian army several years ago, and dis
covered the River Doubt. Accord
ing to Mrs. Douglas, he fought anu
suppressed revolutionary uprising In
Brazil. He explored the jungle en-
pire which had been granted him and
found it contained vast growths OF rub
Der trees and hardwood OF rare and
costly varieties.
