STOCK PRICES SOAR;
SALES TOP RECORD

NEW YORK, April IA gigantic
battle on the floor of the stock ex-
change between optimistic specu-
lators who wished to continue the
upward swing of prices, and others
who sought frantically to force
prices down so they could cover
short sales, resulted today in an
avalanche of transactions in which
fifty issues reached new high levels
for the year.
Although every day this week had
seen a greater volume of stocks
change hands than on the previous
day, today's record of 100000
shares topped the list for 1922. The
average of prices rose to the high
est figure since the present bull
market got under way more than
seven months ago, and the bears
finished the day In worse position
than when they started.

PRESIDENT WARNS
CIVIL SERVICE NOT
TO TIE HIS HANDS
White House Desires to
Improve Efficiency of
Departments.

President Harding has served
warning on the Civil Service that
it must not seek to so strongly in
trench itself as to tie his hands.
The Presidents attitude toward
Civil Service, which has caused a
stir both in Congress and through
out the departments here as a re-
suit of recent shake-ups, has been
made clear authoritatively at the
White House. Summed up. it is
this:
l. There is no drive on against
the Civil Service.
2. There is a drive on to improve
the administration of the depart
ments under Civil Service.
,. The President is directly re-
sponsible for the administration
of the government and if the Civil
Service attempts to tie the Execu-
tive's hands, the service itself will
be looked into.
4. While no definite consideration
is being given the suggestion now.
If the irritation continues around
the manner of holding Civil Service
examinations IOG nrSL. SeCOnQ ana
third class postmasters. these
classes may be removed from the
service.
In connection with the propo-
sal which recently has been ad-
vanced in Congressional quarters
to remove the first three classes of
postmasterships from the present
Civil Service to political selective
machinery, the White House re-
action now is that 1t is unlikely
rather than probable"
1t was suggested, however, that
II the President is driven to 1t by
the constant complaints over the
present Civil Service examination
methods, 1t might be found advis-
able to evolve consistent program
of political selection of postmas-
it was suggested, by Representa-
tives and Senators agreeing upon
the best possible men in their dis
tricts. men who could pass any
examination that might be pro-
vided by a special examining board.
There is no doubt that the Presi-
dent is iirked by the strongly en-
trenched Civil Service in some of
the bureaus and it is believed that
this is the reason for his warning
that while he wishes to increase
the efficiency of administration
-under Civil Service" he wants it
known that he will not have his
hands tied by Civil Service.

PRESIDENT TELLS
STORY OF BUTCHER

President Harding gave each OF
two women correspondents who at

Cant have the ladies come in
here without showing them some
special attention." he said with a
smile, and then told the following
story:
1T reminds me of q butcher who
had his shop down in Marion near
the Star office. Every time I went
by the shop my friend would stop
me and hand me a couple of
sausages. Now give me a little

Air Currents BIamed.

LONDON. April I'm a statement
given out by the British air min
istry, 1t is declared that although
low clouds and a light rain were
present at the time of the amazing
collision between a British mail
plane and a French commercial air
plane near Granvilliers. seventy
miles north of Paris, today, the
visibility was good
1t is accordingly believed that the
machines may have been caught in
air currents that carried them into
collision in spite of the pilots ef-
forts.
The British machine was De
Haviland. owned by the air min
istry and lent to the Daimler Air
Line. The French machine was a
Goliath. belonging to the Grandes
Express Aerians.
The De Haviland carried only
mails and light express. The col
lision. according to the air ministry,
occurred at a height OF between 500
to 700 feet.
