Bullish Tendency in Stock
Market Turns Cotton

NEW YORK. March is.-After a
further decline Of about 10 points In
the general contract list In the
early trading this morning frorn
yesterdays closing quotations and
about Is in March due TO some scat
tered liquidation left over from yes
terday. the market turned firm ON
better late Liverpool cables and also
somewhat more optimistic trade re-
ports from Manchester. Another
factor which helped the market
materially was the sympathetic in
fuence OF the renewed sharp ad-
vance in May wheat prices on the
Chicago Board OF Trade and the
continued buliish activity in the
stock market. Manchester cables re-
ported there was a better demand
there again for yarns and cloths
with the situation in India also
somewhat improved. The demand
from China was also said TO be
broadening and there was less sell
ing pressure on the Liverpool MAR
ket for futures than for some time.

Russia's Demoralized Railroads.

TINE chief causes of the terrible famine in Rus
i STA the drouth the Soviet governments
now-abandoned system of requisitions and the
wretched condition of the Russian railways. OF
the three chief causes, it is safe to say that the
condition OF the railways is not the least. There
are parts OF Russia which undoubtedly have sur
plus of grain but that surplus is of little use to the
starving because it cannot be transported to the
points where it is needed How near Russia could
come to feeding itself, in this year when hundreds
OF thousands are dying and dead from starvation,
it all the grain of Russia could be moved freely to
places where it is needed, no one can say authoH-
tatIvely. There are some who think Russia would
need grain at all from outside if her own grain
could be freely distributed where wanted and were
so distributed. However that may be, today it is
quite clear that it is easier transport grain from
America and from Argentina to the yolga Valley
than it is from parts of Russia where SURPRISES are
thought to exist. The tragic condition of Russia
surely furnishes an undeniable proof of the depend
ence OF our modern economic life on transportation.
Imagine America without auto trucks. with
worthless highways, with a third of her railway
mileage abandoned. with 30 per cent Of her loco
motives out of commission, with the amount of
freight carried reduced to about IN per cent of the
normal and pile one of the great drouths of history

Thinks Curved Wall Bad.

To the Editor. The wsshinEtoB HenId:
After seeing the diagram show
ing in part the frame plan of the
knickerbocker Theater in The
Herald OF February 8. a solution OF
the cause of the disaster has pre-
scented itself The curved wall on
the Columbia road side explains the
whole matter. Extreme changes Of
temperature. not so great here as
farther north. might so change the
curvature Of the wall as to release
any beams or other support resting
upon II. IL only one beam. resting
at the point of greatest curvature,
should be released from its bear
ing. the entire roof might collapse.
To illustrate: 4 blacksmith. in
order TO set or reset a tire on a
wheel. subjects it to heat. and the
entire rim is thrown outward. In
other words. the Enclosed circle is
enlarged. when IL is in position
he cools IL. and II the work is
properly done il draws snugly to
the pillar and is considered a good
piece of work.
The wall mentioned is a little diff
ferent. in that II would be eX-
panded' by heat. but would not
again be brought back by cold. And
each successive summers heat
might add TO the dangerous condi-
tion.
On a straight wall no such effect
would be made by heat, unless IL
was to enlarge the entire lineal
measurement at the resting points
of the roof, and so make IL less
secure. The material might have
an effect TO aEgravate this condi-
tion. On this point ! do not feel
certain. but results seem TO shoS
that it did.
Very truly.

The New Police Chief.

TINE reward for thirty-two years of highly
meritorious service has to Daniel Sui
Ivan with his designation by the Commits
sioners as major and superintendent of the Metro
politan police department.
Maj Sullivan is to be congratulated So are
the Commissioners. They have chosen a for
ono Of the two three most important posts in the
municipal government who combines fearlessness,
integrity and keen intelligence.
.-. The chief laughingy declared to press
representatives Immediately after his notification
Yesterday afternoon that he is mot college man,
but copper" The thought arises that the fetish
OF collegiate education is invoked too often, for a
OF Sulivans attanments il the work OF crim-
nal detection and crime prevention surely has reaped
much specialized knowledge could a student
out Tor a degree.
Maj. Sullivan born i'll Ireland-as have
been so many million other good Americans, He
had been in the United States but six years when
he enlisted in the Marine Corps, travelling about
the Garth and emerging a sergeant The love of hard
service put him in bluecoat's uniform. His rise
through the grades from private to lieutenant was
rapid; his elevation from that post to a captaincy
painfully slow, but he grumbed during the
thirteen years elapsing. He came to headquarters
in assistant to the late Maj. Raymond Pull
and has stepped up the last rung to the top OF
the ladder
Supt. Sullivan is assured the loyal support Of
tho officers and under him. He is of that
excellent executive type which combines the ground
work OF the old school with the superstructure of
the idea.
The other promotions announced by the Com
Inis>;Oncrs in conjunction with that OF Sullivan,
detailed in the news columns of today's Herald, are
equally pleasing. They chime with tneir chief in
promising the best possible service to the people
al the District with the limited facilities provided"
There is a hint to Congress in that word "lim-

comic figure in German pictures Why Krenis-
munster should have sort of skyscraper on one
side and pig contemplating broken staff on the
other, do not know. But most of the notes are
representations, often very delicatey engraved, OF
local scenery. Some of Salisbury are like old
woodcuts. Walding is like toy village. Perch
toldsdorf has an engraving of old gabled Ra-
thaus, wreathed jim green vines Offering has an
old moated castle
Laughter is never far from the lips of these

AUGUSTINE Because now that the war has ruined
them, allies ist him. and he their prototype.
oh, dear Augustine, the song runs, everything S
gomez and the lament is sung to the gayest OF jig
ging tunes. So than one of these tokens have
comic verses printed on them, and one suspects the
burgomasaer of St. Roman OF having composed the
following himself .E.. s.u.
Our thoughts are not taxed that is certainly
true,
Yet to think not at all would be better for you,
Still better. forget to remember the day D.
When the commune has promised all tokens to
pay.
"Giezcnheim has three notes which politics
and poetca legends intertwined. The hrst
verse the ten-heller NOTE tells of Charlemasne,
hidden in his hollow hill and guarded by dwarfs,
sending out his ravens to how the world wags.
The second, on the 2o-heller note, tells how they
find the people everywhere suffering dire distress,
starving and having only paper money. The third,
the 3o-heer note cries upon Chariemagne not
to forget his people. but to arise and make them
nation again. One wonders if the poem goes
through all the denominations"
Thus Austria, even in her distress, finds scope
for her imagination and her fancy in thoughts that
childlike in their innocence and beauty.
