NEW YORK. March 4-Bankers

vative and constructive. but the
stock market failed to display any
enthusiasm as had been predicted It
would the last week. Price changes
were irregular following the usual
day OF dullness.
Professional bears continued TO
attack the specialties in the hope
Of inducing fresh liquidation. This
contingent attempted to unsettle
the railroad list by circulating
rumors of probable cuts to come In
the dividends of certain transporta-
tion companies. but the railroad de-
partment held firm. most issues
closing with fractional gains. One
rumor was that the payments to
Union Pacific shareholders would be
cut. owing to smaller earnings be-
ing reported. This story. however,
was characterized as ridiculous by
persons close to the company.
Sterling Quiet.
The disappointment entertained
by the street in connection with the
Difference of action of the Atlantic,

Money lenders state that funds con-

Pressure was renewed in General

low prices for this year and within
small fraction of the low figure

from inside purchases on the de-
cline on Thursday. One house close
to the management continued to
advise the purchase of the issue.
Uncertainty as to the action likely
to be taken next Thursday, when
the directors meet to consider the
dividend, had created plenty of op-
portunity for speculation in the
shares.
The Street watched with interest
the fluctuations in American Loco

view of the showings made by both
companies in their annual reports.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
PLANS FOR DANCE

The Alumni Association of the To-
cal high school are about to break
one of the customs, which for years
and years has fingered on in prece-
dence. that of holding the dance
for the senior class directly after
the graduation exercises. The pres
ent president of the association, Ez-
ra Karkus, has proposed that the
dance be held on the night preced-
ing graduation instead of on the
night of graduation and many have
expressed their option that the
change is most advisable. How
ever, the change has not been def
nitely decided upon but will be dis
cussed and determined within the
next two weeks.
There are many reasons for having
the dance precede graduation, first
to avoid the confusion of chairs and
people, if it is held in the auditor
ium; secondly, because the dance
must be over before / o'clock and
usually things are just about begin
ming by that time; in the next place
it is the one evening Of the year
on which the alumni entertain the
seniors and all formality, which
should play a little part in the men,
DRY of such an occasion for the
graduates, is taken away. There
r many other of less i'm
portance and if all things work out
as hoped by the president, the
change will be made in this year of
1921 and the dance will be held on
the night before graduation.

Aim to Improve Mail Service

In order to have a more speedy
mail service between this city and
New Brunswick, the Chamber Of
Commerce., through Secretary John
F. Bergen, is making an effort to
have the post Office department ar
range a delivery system between
these two offices, the mail to be car
ried back and forth by trolley or
automobiles.
At the present time a letter mailed
in this city for New Brunswick to-
day. will not reach that city until
sometime tomorrow, the eason for
this being that the mail is first taken
to New York sorted and then sent to
New Brunswick. In some instances.
if the train upon which the mail
is placed has a mail car and mai
clerk. the mail is sorted between this
city and Railway and transferred at
that point for New Brunswick, but
the majority of the mail is carried
direct to New York City.
II is pointed out by the Chamber
of Commerce that at present time
this city and Fords has a mail SER
vice of the kind desired with New
Brunswick, that is, the mail is taken
from Perth Amboy to Fords by troll
ley. BY taking mail direct from this
city to New Brunswick by trolley
it is also possible to have direct mail
service with Metuchen and other
points between the two cities.

boy City Hospital was inaugurated
yesterday. AS this was the first time
in the history of the local institution
that such a day has been observed

All parts of the building were
open for inspection yesterday, visi-
tors being taken on a tour of explor-
alton by members of the superin-

commodate fifteen patients. the west
ward has ten beds for women pa
tients and the north ward twenty
beds for men. The east ward has
been transformed into two semi
private halls, each capable of holding
two beds. A large porch has also
been built as an addition to the east
ward which is screened in for sum-
mer use and can be enclosed with
glass during the winter. This Is
heated and made especially for
pneumonia patients.

private hall on the second floor,
many of which are sufficiently large
to accommodate two patients. The

floor. On the top floor Is the well
equipped operating room, ether room
and doctors dressing room. A new
operating table has been installed in
the operating room and a new steril-
