~ sented by Major Maaee

hickory pole to which it was attached

Market Ahead Of
TURN IN BUSINESS
Striking Change in General Sit
uation Compared With Memo
rial Day a Year Ago

Wall Street undoubtedly wNl take
the Memorial Day holiday with much
better grace than It did a year ago.
While the principal stock exchanges and
community markets are closed today.
the rapid multiplication of events and
happenings recently will afford plenty
Of food for thought during the sus.
pension Of business. A picture Of strik-
ing contrast il presented when com.
parison is made OF market conditions
today and those Of a year ago. When
Wall Street shut IN Its shutters a
year ngo. there was not to be detected
the first slimmering Of the. change that
was coming in business and credit con-
recognized the liquidation had not yet
been completed, and while the financial
community was getting its house IN
order, there was still nothing IN sight
to which any reliable basis could be
made In looking for any permanent
change.
The business and financial world
today has turned its back on the com
mercial disasters Of 1921. and every
body is doing their level best, trying
to forget the past. The most crafty
ing side Of the reconstruction which
has been accomplished is that the i'm.
provement IN all lines has been con-
Quoted on sane and orderly OASIS.
The recovery has been slow, but the
upbuilding has been sound without the
slightest strain on credit.
Long before this improvement was
registered. in facts and figures ana
while It was to large extent OF
theoretical stage. the stock market
started to discount and prices Of the
active issues are from 10 to 80 points
above the low level Of year ago: In
fact. the price barometer has been
climbing with little interruption Tor
nearly nine months. and the current
average level Of prices OF both the
railroad and industrial shares are higher
than they have been in over two years.
This naturally has raised the .ques-
ton whether or not the rapid advance
in stock market values Is not out
stripping the recupcration OF business
and industry. the answer to which mas
repeatedly been fresh outburst OF spec.
ulativc activity and any one CT three
ma jor groups. the rails. industriols ana
coppers. making new high ground. Inc
elevation Of these respective groups
naturally encountered quite a good deal
OF profit taking. but these offerings,
thus far. have been easily absorbed In.
dicating the buying demand is more
insistent than the desire 70 sell. There
ia considerable diversity of opinion as
to whether the distribution period has
been reached. Many competent author
tiles express the unqualified opinion
that we are in the midst of the greatest
bull market Wall Street has ever
known. 1t is not TO be expected the
market should continue to move with
the same degree Of animation or unison,
as there are many stocks that have not
vet shared in the forward swing and
must catch up with the rest of the mar
ket and some of these stocks may have
greater advances than the issues in the
leadership for some time.

seen it whirl past 1.chigh avenue Il few
seconds earlier. 1t was going, he esti-
mated. from fifty to sixty miles an hour.
Steering Gear Fails
Apparently the steering gear failed
to work at the critical moment when
the driver should have swung his car
TO the left TO follow the curve of the
street. Instead of swerving. the heavy
car shot straight ahead and crashed
with terrific force into trolley pole.
The machine struck obliQuely. the right
lamp and mudguard crashing into the
pole, little to the side of the radiator.
Mr. Madden described the scene
wildly.
Il was just getting up he said,
when ! heard the crash. so appalling
I cannot describe it. l knew it must
be collision Of some kind. ! ran to
the window and saw terrible sight.
The machine was up-ended. and be-

were in the street. One Of them lay in
the car tracks, at least thirty feet
away. He did not move. The other lay
on the sidewalk, near board fence.
I thought they both were dead at first.
but the man on the sidewalk rose up by
a terrible effort. He got up on his
hands and then fell down again. He
made second attempt to rise before

lay still.
Dragged Body From Tracks
"A Manayunk car was coming. so
ran out and dragged the one body from
the tracks. Then ! told the motorman
to 60 as fast as he could TO the fre-
house. He threw on all his speed. and
it didn't take long to take the word 10
the tiremen. They telephoned for the
police and ambulance.

bucket of water and dashed 1t on the

engines came. 1t was terrible TO stand
there and see the two men being burned
and not be able to do anything for
them.
The fremen quickly got the one
man out who was behind the steer
ing wheel He was not badly dis
figured. but he was dead. The flames
from the gas tank were shooting up as
high as the trolley pole, and blazing all
about the other body The tremen pu,
ropes on the back of the machine anl
dragged the wreckage away from The
trolley pole SO they could gcr NJ th'
other body They sent the two bodies
to the hospital but it was too late.
