Wellesley Hills, May 2T.-In view Of the peculiar way that the stock market has been acting the past few days and the various rumors that are about regarding the great steel mer- gers, the opinion of Roger w. l'ab- son, concerning the same has been sought.
 Bond Market Good
 'So far as the long swing goes. says the statistician, "everything looks well, both for the bond market and for the stock market We are enter ing into a period of low money rates which may extend over some years. If so. the bond market will continue to climb upward for a similar length of time. This does not mean that bonds will advance as much next year as they have advanced this year, nor as much in 1924 as tAey will he in 1928 Moreover. reactions will occur now and then. The general tendency. however, should be for a strong bond market for several years.
 The stock market has not yet reached it's zenith. Those who have
 
 their boxes, should not worry about present market movements, or con- flicting rumors. We have only start ed on great broad movement in the security markets which will take both bonds and stocks to much higher prices. The United States of America has always been a great country; but today it is the center of the worlds production, distribution and financing. If it is two years before we are back again in another period of prosperity it will be two years before the stock market turns on it's great trip down. ward.
 Market Like ocean.
 "The stock market, however, is like the ocean, In addition to the great tidal movements, there are squalls, storms, and periods of calm ness and of roughness. The stock broker watches a certain barometer as does the mariner at sea. This ba- rometer strongly suggests today that there may soon be storm in the stock market It looks rather cloudy and al points there is pressure which Is not natural. The optimistic tone which has been characteristic of the market for many months has tempo rarily gone. The runor-mongers and tipsters are again doing business. Insiders who have been accumulating for some months are known to have distributed their holdings. They are now waiting for a shake down and another chance to get aboarl before the next upward movement.

JUNIORS R0MP OFF
 WITH GLASS H0N0RS
Annual Exercises at High School
 Prove Highly Entertaining

Class Day at the New Britain Higl school dawned clear yesterday ant the young women of the school ap peared decked in the gay colors O their various classes Mid-year sopho mores wore green; sophomores, blue mid-year juniors. orange: juniors purple, and seniors. pink. The younl men wore ties, and in some cases socks of their class colors.
 School closed at 2:3o o'clock in the afternoon and practically the entire student body, as well as the mem bers of the faculty, assembled in the auditorium to witness the exercises provided by the various classes.
 The entertainment started when Robert Christ of the mid-year sopho- more class came before the curtain and read some of his mistakes dur ing the first few weeks at school, as shown by his diary The curtain then went up, disclosing members of the class with toy balloons which they waved while singing several songs.
 In the sketch which the sopho- mores presented, it was found that all the records for their Victrola had been stolen and they entertained with several catchy songs.
 The mid juniors sang songs, led by Benjamin Durham, which proved popular with the audience as a whole.
 Hiding Erickson of the junior class gave an amusing talk on the meaning of several words which are in current use about the school His pleasing manner of talking and his quick replies to the remarks of some young men in the balcony made a decided hit. The songs which were sung by this class were especially good.
 The seniors, sure, as usual, of win ming highest honors. sailed into their sketch with much confidence. They presented several good songs, one to the tune of "Yoo-Hoo" telling of their early experiences in the R. o. T. C., and another to the tune of "The Sheik," telling of the various good qualities possessed by the gradu- the act streamers were thrown into the audience by the young women of the cast.
 After the entertainment everyone went to the gymnasium where the annual Class Day fair was in prog ress. Booths, tastefully decorated, exhibited the wares offered for sale by several clubs and classes. Booths were in charge of the following: Senior class ice cream sophomore class, Jolly pops and wafers; Art ,lub, articles made by them, paper Towers of the different class colors and other appropriate things; Amph- on club, homemade candy; Young Nomen's Athletic association punch. During the afternoon and evening music for dancing was furnished by Bernin's orchestra. It was rather difficult to dance, however due to the ,rowd.
 In the evening the fair was repeat d at o'clock, lasting until II o'clock. The crowd was as large, if lot larger, than that of the afternoon md the booths were practically sold ut at the hour of closing.
 During the course of the afternoon, [. C. Moody announced the winner of he cup which was offered to the class presenting the best performance. The up was presented to the juniors, the president Of the class, George Mur- | ha, accepting it with suitable re- marks, on behalf of his cassmotes.

THE KING OF LIARS

60 FAR as successful impostures are
- concerned, Giuseppe Balsamo, bet
ter known by his adopted title Of
Count Cagliostro" was undOubt-
eddy the most remarkable man the
world has ever produced, for he not
only numbered his victims by the thou
sands but practiced his chosen art of
lying with such consummate clever
ness that ne victimized cardinals and
princes as well as peasants and the
various classes lying between these
categories. He was, in truth, "the
king Of liars" beside whom sucn mod
ern examples Of Cassie Chadwick and
Ponzi were the rankest amateurs.
As a boy, Balsamo gave early EVIL
dence Of his scheming tendencies. and,
after being expelled from school, was
placed in the apothecary shop Of a
Sicilian monastery, where he set about
to master the science Of chemicals
and drugs. for which he appeared to
have a positive genius. 1t was while
in the apothecary's shop that Balsamo
sold to a credulous peasant the secret
Of a mythical treasure cave" which
was supposed to be near by. but. when
the purchaser of the secret went to
examine the cave, lie was set upon by
a devil" (Balsamo himself) and beat
en- nearly to death. For this escapade.
Giuseppe was banished from SICILY

Field BUDS as Toys.

The field bugs. known in America as
June bugs, have resumed their place
as toys for German children. An ex-
traOrdinary flood of the beetles has
sent hundreds Of Berliners into nearby
forests and fields to catch thousands
Of them and sell them to dealers who,
In turn, retail them to fond parents
and children. The bugs sell at ten for
a mark now, whereas before the war
a dozen could be bought for a few
pfennigs. The dealer makes 300 per
cent profit. those engaged in catching
them declare Farmers encourage the
catching of the bugs as playthings for
city children. as they are destructive
to the foliage Of orchards and vine
yards. The unusually large plague Of
field bugs has revived the custom Of
catching them for sale for the first
time since the war. An expert "catch-
err usually brings in about 1000 bugs
q day. They live for about ten days as
playthings.
