ANOTHER BULGE IN
AMERICAN STORES
Win Mystery Still On Stock
Scars to New High
Record ..

With the mystery" still on, the
American Stores issues continued to
command foremost attention in the local
trading. The trading in the common
was again on q heavy scale. advancing
the price rapidly to q new high record
at 116. Although more than half OF
the gain was later surrendered. the
stock was we'll. sustained. The first
preferred on smaller dealings also
touched a new top at 1904. an over
night gain Of 3k.
All sorts OF theories were advanced
for the remarkable performance OF these
shares. but as yet nothing definite mrs
come to the surface, and those inter.
ested. who have been steadily accumuint-
ing the stock, show not the slightest DIS
position to iTpnrt their knowledge:
The price Of the preferred issues. OF
course, is determined by the quotation
Of the common, into which they are
convertible on basis Of ! 3 shares OF
common for each share OF preferred;
Retirement Of the preferred stocks Will
relieve the company Of substantial sink.
ing fund payments each year. which
necessarily will revert to the interest
Of the common stock. Sinking fund
provision of the preferred issues pro.
vidcd for annual payments OF per
cent dating from July L. 1918.
Since announcement a few weeks ago
that both classes Of preferred shares
have been called for redemption on juno
I. conversion into common stock have
been going on steadily. According to
the compnny's balance sheet at the close
OF 1921, there was outstanding 81, ,42O..
700 firsf preferred stock. This has since
boon reduced by conversion of S2,NOo..
200, while the second preferred has been
cut down from 81 $50. 800 to SI.OS?..
800. These conversions have called for
the issuance Of O316 shares additional
common stock.
=. X. T., despite the extremely good
showing made for the first quarter dis.
closing earnings equal to 8 per cent
on the stock, again failed to make any
further hcadwny. There was narrow
! variation in the quotation between 32A
and 321S, which suggested a resumption
OF the absorption tactics. Union Trnc.
ton, on the other hand. made a new fig
ure for the yenr advancing to ABS.
Philadelphia Traction was also 81
higher at o..
The Philadelphia Electric issues also
remained stationary. but were both well
taken. Pennsylvania Railrond fell back
TO A.. Electric Storage Battery on
limited transactions yielded 2 points to
172. or over Z points under the recent
high price. Dealings in most all the
other local sares continued limited.
| which was to be expected. in view of the
diverting influence Of the broad trading
on tho Big Board.

Washington, April 1.-The grow ing interest which officers Of the Ma tional Education Association declare is being manifested in national problems of education both by teachers and the public, will be the central theme of the annual meeting of the organiza- tion in Boston the first week in July, 1t has been announced.
 With the program grouped around the general subject of education and the Democratic awakening, it was Stated that education would be dis world outlook, with special reference to the far-reachinS results of the arms conference Other themes to be considered include training in citi- zenship, professional training of teachers and the equalization of edu- tricts.
 The American Legion is co-operat- ing with the association in arranging patriotic meetings for July 4.
 Public interest in educational prob lens is finding expression, according to Miss Charl Ormo ond Williams, pres 1dent of the association 'in the great crowds of students that have over flowed the high schools of the land, and is revealed by enrolments that have exceeded the capacities of col 1eges and universities.''
 1t is convincingly evident" she continued. ''in the determination ot present economic stress, the work of public education shall not be crippled for want of finds, and that there shall ultimately be in every class room in the land a competent and we'll trained teacher"

SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Gfandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When 1t fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hun dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture, you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyetns Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses ''WyethIs Sage and Sulphur Compound" now because 1t darkens 80 naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through the hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appl- cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv

precipitated a virtual crisis in his coalition government, following which he went before the House of Com mons for vote of confidence on the subject.
 Another interesting phase of the Genoa deliberations if treaties and political subjects are permitted upon the agenda, concerns the Baltic and Balkan states embracing Poland, Fin land, Esthonia, Latvia, Rumania, Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, all of whom will have delegates at the con- ference.
 Of these nations, Finland, Latvia and Estkonia already have an alliance with Poland, while Jugoslavia, Czecho- slovakia and Rumania, comprising the Little Entente, are on friendly terms With her. Lloyd George, it is understood, is anxious to further strengthen these friendly relations and at the same time minimize the dangers of future wars in the Bal kans by securing at Genoa a treaty of peace with Russia on the one hand and Poland. with her allies and the Little Entente on the other.
 Should such a treaty develop from the conference, 1t would affect the peace of more than 10o,oOO,OOo na- tionals.

.O'Malley Tells Story of Vend'
Newspaper Clipping Con taining Queer Language of the Norsemen Is EX- plained.

Chicago, April 11.-A newspaper clipping in some queer tongue, lay on tant superintendent of mails at the Chicago poStoffice. Attached to It was 1ypewritten English translation.
 What is that" said MT. O'daley "Oh, that's Vend, one of the forty-one languages which our newspapers tranSlatOrS know.
 For the benefit of those who have never heard of a language called Vend, here is it's story, as told by MT. O'Mal- ley:
 Hundreds of years ago, a band of Morse vikings forsOok the sea and trecked overland into what is now Jugo-Slavia. Here they found broad fertile valley, nearly 100 miles across. in the southern part of the present Jugo-Slav Kingdom, and settled down, marrying native women, whose tribal tongue is the Slovenian of the present day.
 From that union of Norwegian and the slav dialect hybrid language grew, and today their descendants in that valley speak Vend, and. in Chicago there is a native newspaper published in that Language.

Like all the translators in the department, where seventeen men were employed following the passage of the espionage act, he was drawn from the regular force of clerk and carriers. At present there are six translators on duty, reading newspa- pers and pamphlets in forty-one languages and dialects. including Els perantO-
 Although the postoffice employs a mum ber of Chinese students as extra clerks and carriers, none of them have proven able to translate the var 1ous Chinese dialects into English, and the specialist in this language is a NOrw egiaIl.

Right Of Strike
 Denied By Order
German Government Elm ployes Forbidden Right to Quit Work-Move En- dorsed by Officials.

Berlin, March 1.-The right to strike is denied employees of the gov ernment in an order issued by the German Minister of Transportation, who characterizes the recent strike of engineers on the government railways as a revolt of officials" A majority of high government officials and mem bers of the Reichstag support this position.
 Labor quarters and particularly Communist circles take issue with the government, admitting that officials are bound ito obedience" to the state, but on the other hand are working men and women who must combat unfavorable wage and living condi- tions with weapons available. The strike is the only effective weapon within reach, they hold.
 Use of emergency workers, like the TechniSche Nothilfe, to keep essential public utilities operating during strikes, heretofore had been tacitly recognized by labor which furnished members to the association, now is generally condemned by more radical labor and receives slight praise from conservative labor clements.
 The Technische Nothilfe was an i'm portant factor in breaking the strike of the railroaders, it Is argued, and therefore has shown itself not 8 good servant of the public but an enemy of organized labor.
