!, ANTI-FRANCE MEN
y
MORE OPTIMISTIC
Western Maryland Counted As
SOlidIy Against Him.

In anticipation of early action by
the committee empowered by the Re-
publican Braddock conference to Sc
lect an opponent for Senator Joseph
/. France for the Senatorial nOmina-
ton, several leaders of the anti
France movement spent the holiday
in compiling information on condi-
tions from virtually all the counties
in the State. Their optimism yester-
day verged on assurance that France
will be beaten in the primary.
For one thing, the strength of the
committee personnel as tentatively
prepared by Col. D. John Marley en-
couraged the anti-France forces
greatly. The list will not be an
nounced for several days, probably
on the eve of the date to be set for
its first meeting.
First of the conclusions reached by
the practical men who are tackling
the situation was that Western Mary
land is solid against France. This
view was Endorsed by a leading
Washington county Republican who
spoke on his own information and
without knowledge of the findings Of
the other workers.
"There is not the slightest France
sentiment in Washington said this
leader, "and it will be impossible for
him to generate any"
This condition, it was reported, pre-
vailed likewise in Garrett, Allie
gany, Frederick and Montgomery.
In Southern Maryland, the anti
France workers expressed confidence
of carrying all the counties except
Charles and st. Mary's, and these
are not yet conceded positively to
Senator France.
The strength of the anti-France
element on the Eastern Shore, in
both numbers and prominence of the
leaders, was described yesterday as
Surprising" Col A. w. w. Wood
cock alone was counted in the France
column and confidence was expressed
that William P. Jackson ultimately
would be obliged to abandon his atti-
tude of neutrality and enter the anti
France column. Of course, Woodcock
is known to be one of Jackson's
closest lieutenants but in the present
situation he is reliably reported not
to be his megephone or mouthpiece,
but rather to have tumbled off the
fence before his chief had decided on
which side he will alight.
In Baltimore city, the Second dis
trict is counted against France al
ready, and missionary work will be
started in the other districts as soon
as the party candidate is announced,
AS yet the list of possibilities re-
mains open, and it is large and at
tractive. The committee will study
the eligibles with open mind, and the
man to whom it will promise the
party's support will represent the
unanimous choice of the Republican
voters in every part of the State.
Also it seems evident that the anti
France campaign is not to be handled
by amateurs, but by experienced,
practical leaders, who know how to
call a spade a spade. The women are
to be brought into the fray, and it is
felt they will be of special value in
compelling clean and decent cam
paign and lection.-Baltimore News.

shadowing development in the finan-
ical markets during the last week or
ten days. Intelligent analysis Of the
situation in New York is hampered by
the fact of leadership by London,
which has been convincingly demon
stratcd in this movement. Technical
market considerations, Of which the
most important arc the scarcity of
commercial bills and the. known exist
encc Of heavy short interest, have
been factor materially contributing
to the rise. but they can hardly figure
as its cause. Motivation Of the ad-
vance is believed to have been de-
rived from a single impulse, diversified
as to basis but tending toward spc-
cihc goal. For lack Of a better term,
this may be called recognition of i'm
provcment in the International situa~
ton. Its effectiveness has been drawn
| from world trade statistics, from the
formulation Of conclusions at thc
Washington conference, from progress
toward German rcparations adjustment
from plans for the Genoa meeting,
from adoption of the debt rcfunding
bill, but to an even greater extent from
the new spirit Of hopcfulness which
the cumulative influence of these hap
pcnings has cngendered. Questions of
the soundness of the newly achieved
position of the exchanges concern the
genuine Importance of these factors
The course Of the money markets in
the last week has impressed upon the
minds Of the financial district bet
ter mprchcnsion of the relation OF
the Federal Reserve Bank to the situa-
ton. Incidentally. it may be noted
that the rate currently is above the
rates prevailing in the acceptance and
Treasury certificates markets, which
are now regarded as the real index of
the open market, rather than the rates
on commercial paper or Stock EX-
change loans. This relation is COM
parable to that long maintained in Eng
land and has been urged by many here

The strength Of the European cx-
changes tended to stimulate specula-
tion for the rise in wheat, and prices
rose during the week from 7 to 10 cents
a bushel. May futures were quoted as
high as $1.26h a bushcl on Friday
Cotton prices were IRREGULAR and little
changed, as the domestic goods trade
was none too cheerful about the out
look.
Until the middle Of the week, there
was some irrcgularity and marked
dullness in the dealings in securities
Then the pools began to generate ac
tivty again, and their efforts, facil-
tated by short covering, carried quota
tions higher. After SIX months of
striking advances bond prices were ir-
regular and slightly lower in price ten
dency until toward the close Of the
week, when activity broadcned and
quotations became frmer.
Seymour Cromwell's remarks before
the Association of Stock Exchange Firms
about the need Of reform in brokerage
quarters were worth needing, particu-
larly because he. did not start with the

tenslvo efforts to stamp out the new
type of bucket shop evil he did not
argue that the Stock Exchange was per

termed after it. He called attention to
Stock Exchange practices open to criti-
cism and expressed hope that solu-
tion for them could be found.
In urging periodical examination by
the Stock Exchange authorities Of the
books Of member firms in asking the
banks of the country to be more careful
in giving recommendation to those who
sell securities, and in suggesting that
the exchange consider the dangers of
abuse of the knowledge which special
lists have, Mr.. Cromwell was touching
pivotal matters, closely related to the
securities to find safety in Wall Street.
Regarding the relation of the Stock
Exchange to bucket shops, he said:
"How can the Stock Exchange sue
cessfully repudate the bucket-shop on
the outside when some Stock Exchange
firms accept the accounts OF houses do
ing this dishonest business ? The excuse
that they do not know will not hold
They should know, and ! believe that

proper diligence would know"

Dainty Little White Flower.

Sweet alyssum is an easily grown,
dainty little white flower, recommend
ed to be used literally for borders.
edgings, baskets, pots, rockwork, and
for cutting. For borders the seed
should be sown thickly, so as to form

August and thin the seedlings to stand
about four inches apart, but for spring
bloom for borders the seeds should be
sown in the open early In the spring,

In some localities. Where the plant will
not endure the winter, however, early
spring planting under cover. either In
a cold frame a spent hotbed, or In

it has achieved a shape that is entirely
consistent with the figure that wears
it. The coat has that surplice, fichu
line with rolling collar carrying out
the outline, and 1t ends In bunch
of draping over one hip where the
fastening is marked by a brilliant
green jade buckle. The fringing at
the lower ends Of the drapery is OF
the same shade Of taupe from which
the dress Is made.
The lining of this coat dress Is, per-
haps, its most interesting feature. 1t
is composed of a striped silk in colors
of gold and green, with many vary
ing shades of these tones woven into
the pattern. The design takes a naive
turn when the lining suddenly appears
from its hiding place and proceeds
to constitute the lower sections of
the sleeves In lieu of large and spread
ing cuffs.

Up to December 81, $212,077, 246 had

To match that amount the states APP

If placed end to end the roads to be
paid for by this money would encircle
the earth at the equator and extend as
far as from New York to San Fran
cisco on the second lap. The total
mileage of roads under construction
and completed, the departments rec
ords show, was approximately 27OOO
miles. OF this milage 1855 miles was
In projects entirely completed. The
balance of 17,445 miles was In projects
which were still under construction
but reported SO per cent complete Dc
tober 81. In those projects there was
the equivalent Of 1900 miles Of com
pleted roads, so that the completed
road to date was more than 21,OOO
miles, or nearly enough to enclrcle
the globe.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no active part In the
road construction of the country. To-
day about one-half of all roads under
construction are being aided financial
ly by the federal government, and the
construction is subject to inspection
and approval Of federal engineers.

Ready for Wear at Any Time.

Women who have succumbed to the
coat dress are stating positively that
they like it better for street wear than
any other sort of costume. They say
it means so much to have one garment
do the whole trick They like the idea
of having only to adjust one set of
hooks and eyes, one set of one collar
and one snap at the waistline before
their dressing operations are complete.
You know there is a great deal in that,
especially If you happen to be busy
all day long and when the elimination
of labor In your dressing becomes
something to be striven for.
A dress of this sort, once it has
been completed by a designer who
knows his business, is ready for wear
at any moment and with the minimum
amount of toll 1t can be snapped into
place with no trouble about collars
and cuffs or waists and skirts or any
of those nuisances to which women
have become so accustomed that
sometimes they fail to see how pos
sible 1t is to do without them.
A French dress made in this coat
dress manner had the interesting de-
sign of a simple chemise dress. OF
course it had tremendous sleeves to
make it look more like the thing it
was, but other than that 1t has every
resemblance to the little frock which
has held its popularity through SO
many changes and chances.
Its sleeves were embroidered over
their entire surfaces with bright Rus
sian colors and there was belt, quite
wide and straight, posed down low
over the hips, which held the coat In
that form known as a Russian blouse
There was a high standing collar, loose
around the throat, and this carried
out the same colored embroiderings
closing at the side where the whole
coat opened in a straight line reach
ing from shoulder to hem.
Still another coat dress was made Of
one of those soft English tweeds WOW
en- in stripes of dull blue and a warm
tan. The stripes reversed their natural
way Of life and ran around and around
instead Of up and down. This frock
while it was lined with soft satin In
an old blue tone, had no other vestigs
of trimming anywhere about 1t. The
stripes were allowed to do their dec
orative work unmolested, and they sue
ceeded in doing it in an entirely salts
factory manner.

Coat Dress Is ;.
to Be in Lead

which gives that "snappy" little air so
necessary to the smartest dressing of
the season.
Into many of the coat dresses the
general tendency for draping has been
carried with great deal of success,
And this idea is perfectly illustrated
by another coat dress made Of taupe-
colored wool velours, In the lightest
of its weights. OF course this ma
terial Grapes better than any other
WOODEN fabric, and 1t is no wonder
that the designer has chosen it to
carry out this model. Much in the
manner of the draped afternoon and
evening frocks, this coat dress has
been wrapped around the figure until
