No Bear Leader.

One Of the most constructive fac
tors in the market IL that those with
bearish proclivities are without q
leader. There has been some short
interest built up in the market, but
the selling has been noticeable for It's
lack Of punch" which 30 disttn-
guishes the operations of those VINO
in the mast led the raiding cohorts
The waldorf crowd" are understood
TO have passed out a big line OF stock
during the past fortnight, However,
they have made little Roadway. and
where making a few points in one
issue have lost more in others. The
pools In such issues as Sears-Roebuck,
Studebaker and Corn Products wait
until they get fairly substantial
short account in their pets and then
run them up. All that the bears have
to hope for is some bad news. or they
will be left without real leadership
until the constructive program OF
financial and economic leaders Ii
carried out.

RATE REDUCTION OPPOSED
BY RAILROAD PRESIDENT

Premature reductions in the reve-
nues of the railroads would be ruin.
Gus" to general business conditions,
w. L. Mapother, president of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, told
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today during its freight rates investi.
cation.
Existing wage scales are to high.
Mapther asserted, telling the com.
mission that rates cannot be reduced
without a very material reduction in
operating costs" He mentioned
wages as the chief item in the costs.

Tho Motor Stocks.

The popular pastime yesterday was
booming the motor stocks. Everybody
was dong 1t. When everyone assumes
the same opinion It is time for caution.
II m hoped and believed that the motor
industry will do better this year. In
stead of one company like Studebaker
enjoying substantial profits, II Ii like
Iy that some others will experience n
better demand for output. Chandler Is
one Of these. However, It would p~
folly to become overenthused by the
T possibility of a big boom in the auto.
mobile industry. While II has expert
enced only a small part Of its ultimate
growth, the automobile industry, In the
Immediate future, still faces some un.
certainty which will influence stocks
from time to time. Good motor stocks
win ultimately reflect better business
conditions, but that il no reason Tor
indiscriminate optimism and buying OF
stocks now.

Despite the lower basic fare In the

excess Of the corresponding periods
during the previous year.
This fact, the figures show, Is doubt.
Iessly the result of decreased operat'
ing expenses during the past year.
One of the largest items Of railway
operating expense, salaries PAID 70

trainmen, shows that the company IN
the last six months saved ABOUT

Operating Expenses Cut.
In the period under review the not
income amounted to about $4,000 In
comparison with about 900 during
the corresponding period OF the pre-,
ceding year, while the traffic showed
a discrepancy Of about SOC. 900 passen'
gers in favor Of the 1920 period.
Further reductions in the operating
expenses of the company, resulting III
larger monthly returns, may be ex'
pected in the next six months. One
Of the items expected to be reduced Is
the salaries of the motormen, conduc'
tors and trainmen. Officials OF the
company predict that lower wage
will be agreed upon when the cues
ton comes up with the unions about
April 1. 1t is explained that the ten
dency In wages is downward. as well
as in prices generally, and the EN-,
ployes may be presented with cut Of
at least 10 per cent. This will mean
a saving of about 100000 to the com
pany in the year.

Rig People Hold OFF.

There has been ample indication
that the big people are holding Off
from the market. There are mary
ideas as to their reasons. Inquiry
brings out that they are waiting on
developments from Washington. While
some feel that they are waiting until
after the railroad conference next
week, the fact IL that they do not
want to go further with operations
until the international situation be-
comes less critical. The refunding OF
the foreign debt was the main factor
influencing operations. Now the
French difficulty has added to the
uncertainty. Small traders generally

DaWsen Urges More Democracy In College Athletics Or Says the

More democracy in college ath- lctics or abandonment of intercol- iegiate sports was urged by Dr. John c. Dawson. president of Howard col lege in an address yesterday before the Rotary club. Athletics as now constituted, with football as the chief sport, excludes the general student body from active participation. he said.
 Dr. Dawson declared that athletics are now autocratic and constituted for the flow with the result that no physical advantages result to the general mass of students. we must mako athletics democratic as we have made the curriculum demo- cratic" he said
 Whom regulations are made for the government of sports, Dr. Dawson pointed out that they are usually evaded. He spoke of the rule adopted by the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic association that a student gan not play in intercollegiate games un- til his second year of college This rule, he said. was to get rid of ringers" and prevent hiring of ath- letes to enter school especially to play football.
 This rule is now being disregarded by most colleges. according to the Howard president by the adoption of regular Intercollegiate schedules for freshmen teams. The result is

double expense and double trouble" he added.
 Dr. Dawson referred to an incident at Princeton where the student body rose in protest because the dean dis missed two football players who had not compiled with the scholastic re- quirements. This only shows, he argued. that when a college presi- dent or dean tries to regulate ath- letics the cry goes out that he is against athletics.
 Games must be played for all, the speaker declared, and not for the few who are already athletes As Characterization of athletics seems impossible with intercollegiate con tests prevailing, Dr. Dawson declared that he saw no remedy except the abolition of costly football games between colleges.
 Previous to Dr. Dawson's talk, Miss Madeleine Jacobs sang a solo and re- sponded twice to encores.
