Poincaire Wants Genoa Con-

Attitude German Matters

der all circumstances should be put
into force.
The French premier, it is explained,
considered it necessary to let the
Genoa conference know exactly the
attitude Of France before the confer

delegation found itself unable to ap
prove The sentiments expressed by
Premier Poincare in his declarations
yesterday at Bar-Ee-ouc were reflect

councils of the departments.
The monarchists are worked up to
the highest pitch and have placarded
the dead walls OF Paris with posters
demanding a march on Berlin. Off

depreciate the idea that he will take
any drastic precipiate action. They
forecase an earnest effort to find some
means of putting pressure upon Ger
many without employing the army.

IMPROVEMENTS CHANGE
ADAMS BUILDING TO
"WHITE WAY BLOCK"

The business building known as
the Adams block has recently under

up as one of the prettiest as well as
the best lighted blocks in the city.
The old awning over the sidewalk
has been torn down and with it the
unsightly posts that supported it. The
new awning is mostly of steel and
is supported from poles at each end
only.
A pretty balcony has been added
to the front.
The back of the building has under
gone a similar improvement, a new
awning and balcony having been put
thereto.
While this work was going on com
prehensiva program of repairs and
minor improvements was carried out,
while extensive painting operations
have added to the newness and at
tractiveness of the building.
This block is lighted by the white
way lights used throughout the bust
ness section, but now has, in addi-
ton, a chain of small lights entirely
along the front awning, which has
led the occupants of the building to
call it the White Way block"
The firms occupying the building
are the Grocerteria, which has a gen.
erous space, including two of the
store rooms, the Owens Dry Goods
store, Henley's Drug store, Dwyer's
bakery and Theo Apostolou's fruit

The building is owned by Robert

ON WALL STREET

New York, April 25.-Reactionary
tendencies dominated the early deal
ings in today's stock market; declines
out-numbering gains for the first time
in several weeks. Among the few ex-
ceptions were United States Steel and
Studebaker, both scoring fractional
advances. New Haven, leader of the
preceding session, opened unchanged
but soon lost half point. Oils as a
group were moderately lower with
rials and equipments. Columbia Gas
made the one noteworthy gain, rising
l S-S points. Automobile specialities,
notably the rubber tire division added
to yesterdays gains. Federal Mining
and Smelling preferred also displayed
pronounced strength. Foreign ex-
changes were irregular. German marks

We once asked Larry Lajoie, one
of the greatest Of all batsmen, why
II was that he swungs on so many
oalls that were not over the plate.
Il like to make up my mind in
advance that l am going to hit the
next one" he said. ''in place Of wait
Ing until the bail IL under way. and
then take hurried swing. And
any ball in reach Is about as easy
to hit as any other ball"
1t was for Lajoie. who must have
borrowed his eyes from an eagle.
Dempsey the Decisive.
There is no lack Of decision about
Dempsey. When he decides to let
one ny there is no holding back
against the thought that a missed
punch might lead him into trouble.
He knew that Fulton and willard
had dangerous lefts. He knew that
WIZARDS uppercut might dislocate
the neck OF a rhinoceros. But he
did very little hddling against either.
At the hrst opening he walked in
and socked both giants with every
thing he had.
Carpenter IL another decisive
battier who lets his brain travel on
through with the punch. where the
aftermath can take care OF itself.
Thfs helps to explain no small
part of Tilden's power. His change
OF pace soon breaks down an op-
ponent's mental poise. leaving but
Little opportunity to get set. In the
| same way Tflden's decision Is much
better adjusted than It was a few
years ago. He knows now what
| stroke he wants to use, where be-
fore he frequently was stiil unde-
cided with the racquet under way.
IT is for this reason that a young
tennis player can have too many
strokes and a golfer can Gerry en-
tirely too many clubs in his bag.
About eight golfers. out of ten are
still wondering at the top of the
swing whether they have picked the
right club or have guessed the right
distance to the green.
This Is one reason why modern
football is harder on the nerves.
Under the old game every one was
set for the drive or rush. Now the
line and backs are constantly guess
ing whether there will be q run
ming play, a forward pass or kick
Fne great value OF the triple threat
Is breaking un any decision on the
part OF the defense. When Mahan
or Gimp fell back too many things
could happen for the defensive to
meet with any sat idea OF blocking
