 More Money Needed
 The meaning of all this as to busi- ness is very plain. Reviying trade demands more money for it's Iegiti- mate use. Banks which, during the period of depression had employed their idle funds in the purchase of investment securities. began to liquidate when the needs of their customers for accommodation began to increase. So there Is nothing in the course of the bond market which should not be encouraging rather than dfscouraging to those anxious to see improvement in general com merciai activity. Nor has there been any other development in tho week to moderate the slowly reviving optimism of the average merchant.
 There is one department of the bond market in which neither the money market. nor speculation as to business outlook, Is the governing in- fluence. Foreign government issues are subject to an entirely different kind of control. This is particularly true of the obligations of nations of continental Europe. Now that the excitement over the Near East has died down, for the present at least, the old doubt about separations and budgets remains.
 Reports this week as to the policy of the administration at Washington have been confusing. New loans to European countries are not to be en- couraged unless the proceeds are to l. kn1 fx frtr Ixrn | appears to be the general opinion that foreign governments must set their houses in order before they re- eeive any further aid from the United States. All this is reflected in the market price of outstanding foreign bonds. Nowhere else except in highly speculative domestic is- sues can so high a yield be obtained, as for instance in French dollar securities both government and mu- nicipal That does not include the obligation of Great Britain, which country is just beginning interest payments on its war incurred debt to the United States. British and Canadian bonds sell on their invest ment merits.
 Utilities Strong
 It has been noticeable all this week, as for some time past, that public utilities held their ground better than either rails or industrials. Even over a years time, 1t was the public utilities which scored the greatest advance. Most of this ad- vantage they held. They generally accepted reasons have been two fold first decreasing costs, and second, more liberal attitude on the part of public utility commissions. As to the first, 1t is not at all certain that costs. will continue to decrease. AS to the second, it is dangerous in the extreme to prophecy.
 Probably The most popular utility securities are those founded on the electric light and power business and on the telephone industry. Indefinite expansion seems possible to both these classes of utilities. The outlook for the fractions is not so bright. Op-

Announcement of Secretary of Treasury Was Glad News to Small Investors-RaiI
 Bonds Weak

Special CoFre6DOnuene Of The AR0-Heraid
 Copyright, 1929, by The Age -Herald)
 New York, October 14.-The out standing even tin the bond market of this week was the announcement by the Secretary of tn Treasury of the long expected government refund ing issue. Whatever may have been banking expectations, tho combina- tion of Az per cent coupon rate with long term maturity was not gen. orally anticipated. Certainly hs small investor has every reason for gratitude to the Secretary. And it is evidently the hope of the depart ment that the new issue will be wide ly distributed. Investors of large wealth will continue to look to en- tirely tax exempt securities.
 Coincident with the announcement of the new government issue was re- newed weakess in the high grade railroad investment bonds. This was explained as directly due to the com petition inevitable under the circum- stances. That is, if an obligation of
  25 years gives a return of 4.2S per cent the obligation of a private cor poration, no matter how well secured, ought to give more than 4.6o per cent.
 It must be admitted that the course of quotations bears out this theory. There always remains, however, pos- abilities that the decline in the price of the corporate bond Is due to the same cause that induced the secre- tary to offer so high a rate on his new issue. The primary considera- tion in both cases may have been the money market. It must also be borne in mind that the high point in the bond market was reached long time before anything definite was known about the governments intentions.
 Quotations for such representative bonds as Atchison General As, Chi- cago, burlington and Quincy gener- al As and Union Pacific Land Grant As reached their highest in July. It was about this time also that the weekly statement of the 790 member banks of the federal reserve system Negsn to show for the first time in over 8 year a decline in investment

RED CROSS AIDS IN 521 DISASTERS Hurricanes and Tomatoes Take Greatest Toll of
 Human Life

Washington, October 14.-Seventy- two disasters, in which 674 persons were reported killed and 521 injured. called for relief measures and the expenditure of $1.441,4S6 by the American Red Cross during tho fis- cal year ended June 80, 1922, accord ing to a statement made public to- day based upon the forthcoming an nual report of the Red Cross. These disasters caused damage estimated at more than s30,000,000, and rendered more than 1850 persons homeless or otherwise needing assistance. In one section alone, the Louisiana Missis- sippi isorder. the Red Cross for weeks fed over 35,0OO flood refugees daily
 The greatest toll of life was taken bv hurricane and tornado. while the overflowirg of rivers, the breaking of dams and torrential rain storms drove the greatest number of people from their homes. Fire played an important part in the chain Of dis asters which made instant demands for Red Cross relief workers.
 The years disasters reported, Tor which the estimates of killed and injured are considered low because in only about one-third of the in- stances were dead and injured men toned, included 26 floods, 19 tor nadoes or storms, 15 fires. four cpl denies, two theatre collapses, two shipwrecks Gone an airship). bridge collapse, mine explosion. railway collision and a drouth.
 The geographical distribution or these disasters show the wide- spread character of the emergency relief required of the Red Cross. The detailed list in the annual report specifics the relief measures applied in the numerous localities.

FATE OF THE NEW MINISTER

FATE OF THE NEW MINISTER Francis D. Clark, in the Yale Re-
 view.
 The neighbors go to hear the new minister. not to worship God, not to hear the Bible read and explained, not to join in the prayer and praise. Naturally, if they go for the sermon, they center their thought on the one outstanding person who for an hour Is the man in the pulpit, returning home to discuss and criticise what he says and does. God Is there, but they know 1t not. The Book of tho Ages Is read, but 1t means little to them. A minute portion of the Book Is taken by the minister at least as a point of departure. but even that small section is soon forgotten. The minister's voice, his delivery. his enunciation, his thought or lack of 1t, his dress, even the way he han dies his handkerchief. Is considered and made a subject at the dinner table for approval or criticism.

NEW ENGLAND STILL AHEAD.

Following Roger Babson in his per sonal survey of business conditions | throughout the country, 1t Is found that his predictions concerning New England are still the most optimistic of any made by him thus far, Con corning no part of the country has he said anything as hopeful as: The concern which does not sell more in New England in 1922 than in 1921 had better reorganae its sales force" nor his definite statement that New England was the first to turn the corner; it should be the first to reach the goal of full recovery
 This fact, taken in connection with that other, namely that he has found encouraging signs in every locality visited, and in connection with his general conclusion that there will be decided upward trend of business | this year, makes his encouraging pre- dictions regarding New England all the more deserving of emphasis.
 In Saturdays article in The Her aid he concluded with the statement that business for the week had shown only 12 per cent below normal as compared with 13 per cent for the week before. Following the logical
 line of reasoning, that the New Eng land outlook is brighter than that in any other part of the country, the business index for New England would be within approximately ten per cent of normal, with further en- couraging signs prevalent.

 It is an easy matter to say the obvious things to new citizens and new voters, to become eloquent over the beauty of this country and to for get to mention the weak points Of many of the men who help govern 1t and who help elect the men who govern 1t. The country deserves much eloquence; its beauties are more nu- merous than those of any other land It's politicians are not all bad; it's leaders are more honest probably than leaders in other lands.
 But every effort should be made, eneYetically honestly, to inspire new citizens, new voters, to raise the stan- dards of politics and government.

MATRIMONIAL BANGLES
Many Russian Women Pose as Wives of Travellers as Far as Border-Onc Has to Remain Married,

Odessa, March 20.-Marriage as far as the frontier only is one of the new forms of commerce in Russia. Women. are willing to pay handsomely those foreigners, who by virtue of their passports may pass freely out of Rus sia and also enter Poland, or Ru- mania, German, or other countries, and take with them women passing as their wives. As Russian subjects neither men nor women may easily get permission to leave Russia and if so the other countries will not receive them.
 Subjects of Turkey and other Mos- lem countriescnggaed in this marriage business sometimes take out four wives at a time the number allowed by their marriage laws.
 Sometimes such marriages of the moment end unhapply. The husband of Baku lady of beauty succeeded in getting out, and then planned for his wife to marry for the Journey local official. The official fell in love with the woman and insisted that she re- main as his legal wife as she had in fact became through her own declaration before the local soviet marriage bureau.

OBENCHAIN JURY IS :.

New Trial Order-Report is That Vote Was g to 3 For
 Conviction.

Los Angeles, March 20.-In her cell in the county jail again facing trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, her sweetheart, Mrs. Mad alynne Obenchain, in whose case a jury last night disagreed and was dis charged, today was resignedly waiting for tomorrow when it is expected her second trial will be set.
 The foreman, Frank w. Crockett a retired attorney os Pasadena told the court the division was g to 8 and had final ballot.
 After the court had dismissed them, some of the jurors told the news- papermen the nine including two of the women jurors favored conviction; while the three, including one woman had voted for acquittal.
 They said that as the Hopeless division" came on the question of guilt or innocence they never reached the question of degree of guilt.
 They were out approximately 56 hours of which nearly "A were passed in actual deliberation they said.
 Mrs. Obenchain, with pale drawn face, but otherwise displaying no sign of emotion was in court when the jury reported. She quickly returned to her cell ill the women's depart ment of the jail without giving out an interview, although it was report ed she had become resigned to a disagreement.

A REAL HONOR,

Israel Nair, of this city, has been elected a member of the Yale chap ter of the society Phi Beta Kappa. It is a real honor, denoting unusual ex- cellence in scholarship. It is an hon. or which may be won by anyone pos- sessing the necessary brains and op- portunity to use them, who makes use of them and who does hard, con- scientious work in college where there is chapter of the society
 Excellence in athletics usually brings more notoriety or fame. A long run in a college football game, a home run in college baseball game of importance, or broken rec ord on the track or in the field events or membership in a winning crew makes the person involved an almost national hero. Great success in the real work of college, the work of the mind, too often is overlooked.
 Young MT. Nair has made home run" in the field of learning. The Phi Beta Kappa key he will be en- titled to wear will mark him as one who profited by his opportunities. He is to be congratulated; his success should receive the fitting acknowl- edgment.

NEW CITIZENS AND VOTERS

There is to be meeting tomorrow evening for the benefit of the newly made citizens. It should be made a meeting for the benefit of the city and community as well. These "recep- tions" are held often with too little thought of their importance. Loyal men and women, Americans, love this land; they believe it is the best land on the face of the earth. They are not blind however; they see faults in the habits of thought that are expected; they see imperfections in the scheme of things political. They see looseness of standards in business countenanced on every hand Some of them want to see change in general sentiment. Some long to see a return of appre- citation of the splendor of strict hon. esty. Most have lost hope of in fuencing people in the direction which leads to these ideals.
 Saturday and Monday, March 25 and 27, many are to be made voters" A large percentage of this number will be women, many will be people voting for the first time. In other words many will be free from the chains of habit of thought pre- valent in politics--a habit of thought not to be praised.
 Thus within d period of ten days there will enter into the active citizen ship of this city large number of persons who will form their manner of political life in the future. They constitute virgin field where new thoughts may be sown. Their habit of thought will be formed from what they see and hear in the future. Whether that habit is good or bad will depend great deal upon what sort of influence comes from others.
 Those who retain their ideals, those who are eager to see return of ap-

UNIVERSAL ATHLETICS,

| It is expected that representatives from over four hundred colleges and schools will meet in the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival to be held the last part of next month. Again is seen the growing tendency, 4n ath- letics, to cut down all traditional sep arating barriers and to bring togeth- CT young men and boys from all parts Of the country. Already has this been done in football, and indications are that the trend toward a more uni versal adoption of the practice will be strengthened.
 This is quite in accordance with the spirit of the times. The efforts that have been made recently espec- tally in each institution to make ath letics more universal in that institu- tion-to induce more students to take part, must eventually bear fruit. Un- til that time comes the full advantage or dInlellCS dHloIlS StuutlltS VIII Hol be known. If college and school ath letics, especially the former, do not develop along these lines quickly, the cry against them which is already so loud, is apt to bring about their aboishment temporarily at least. If, however, the advocates of a more gem cral indulgence in athletics in col leges and schools succeed in bringing the students give considerable time to physical development, the depre- cators of athletics in such institu- tons will be silenced.l Such q great gathering of college and school ath-

ENDORSING SERVICE MEN

The Herald, frankly, is staunch friend of the ex-service man. It be- lieves eX-service men deserve every encouragement, every consideration It believes that many of the men who went into service were among the finest in the country, and it believes that many who went into the service learned by trying experience things that made real men of them. Other things being equal The Herald would always support an ex-service man for political office against one who is not an ex-service man.
 But the Herald believes that any organization which makes the an- nouncement, such as that reported to have been made by an organization which is to meet this evening, that "The various ex-service men who are running for the council and other civic positions will receive the official en- dorsement of the organization" makes mistake, unless the qualifications of each candidate have been studied ir- respective of the fact that such candi- date is an ex-service man. A blanket endorsement of all ex-service men who may run for office is not worth great deal.
 Moreover no organization has the right to assert that it will draw up platform containing the requests of the ex-service men of the city" Or ganizations of men formerly in service are to be approved. The expression of opinion of such organizations, speak ing for themselves is to be approved, The assumption of the right by one organization to speak for all ex-serv- ice mems organizations, or all cx- service men not in that organization, however is improper.

ART STUDY IN SCHOOLS

A movement is under way to secure for the New Britain schools copies of famous works of pictorial art by means of which pupils may become familiar with the beauties of that branch of higher education. To this end a collection of sixty of such copies has been secured for exhibition in the Central Junior High school. These re- productions will be on exhibition until next Monday and those interested in- vite the people of the city to view them.
 There may be no question of the lack in New Britain schools of chances for the pupils to become familiar with this sort of art. There can be no disputing the value of a knowledge of it. The chance being given the parents and others interest ed to enjoy the exhibition and to see just what copies of famous pictures are sought to be procured should not be neglected. The situation is as though it was planned to take up a new study in the schools and the line of text books to be procured were placed on exhibition for the approval of parents and pupils, except for the fact that this sort of study and the means by which it is to be pursued may be better judged that would be possible in the case of a new study of a different character
 Today anything that is not "practi- cal' is deprecated. People are apt to ask what good will knowledge of art do a man or woman in earning his or her bread? Every man and woman is better able to earn that bread to enjoy life as that bread is being earned, to take his or her place among educated people of culture If he or she has some appreciation of the refinements of life, of its beauties Were all the lovely, fine things to be taken from life-the things that in- spire, existence would be a dreary thing indeed. Were the earth to be covered with nothing but weeds; were no flowers to be seen, no green fields, no glorious sunsets, man would be a very different sort of creature than that which he is today. There would be less of kindness, courtesy, consid- eration. All would be hard and cold. Browns, not smiles, would prevail.
 An appreciation of art, study of it brings to the mind of the boy and girl something of the atmosphere the sunlight and flowers bring to the eyes and, through the sight, to the inner consciousness, to the character.
 General interest should be taken in this art exhibit and the movement to make the study of art possible in our schools.
