KRIsHNA's DANCE IS RECORD
Performance Credited to Indian "God
OF Love" Hardly Seems Likely
to Be Equaed.

The 1923 epidemic Of the marathon
dance in the United States reminds
the deliver into ancient lore Of the
duration of Krishnas dance with the
gopis. Krishna is the Indian Christ,
the Lord Of Love-" the "Seed and
Flower of the Universe" He came to
earth in human form 5000 years ago,
and grew up as COW herder.
All the gopis adored him. The
gopis were milkmaids, and Krishna's 8
dance with the. milkmaids in the forest
Of Brindaban ranks as the greatest
accomplishment in his incarnation.
According to the popular legend
there were 1000 gopis, and each had
her separate Krishna dancing with
her, the god multiplying his person.
ality among them so perfectly that
each milkmaid was conscious only
Of the joyous fact that she herself
had for her partner the Lord Of Love-
One reads that birds and bees and
flowers whirled around the heads Of
the dancers, and that passionate night
forgot to draw its curtain to let day
in. but heightened into cons, making
nonstop dance record for all time.

Amsterdam, March 16.-Claiming
that Dutch youth is being depraveI
by immoral films, Madame Vandrop

Der. declared today when the govern
ment proposal to institute a film con
troll commission was discussed.
I'm my district there is not n single

The government is anxious concern
ing the growing cinema danger as the
number of movies is multiplying rap
idly throughout Holland. In the eff.
fort TO combat the fatal influence of
the picture shows, burgomasters are
authorized TO forbid the exhibition of
any film which they consider contrary
to good morals.
According to the proposed bill films
would have to be submitted TO a CEN

ayers did not agree with the judgment
of the commission, they might appeal
to the home office which was TO have
charge of the special commission for
a new constitution.
The parties of the left in the cham
Der considered the bill an encroach-
ment upon the rights of the burgo-
and voted against it.

SPECIALTIES ARE HIT
HARDEST IN REACTION
ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Issues Advanced Sharply
During Week Prove
Most Sensitive.
BY STUART =. WEST.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New lora, March 16.-From The
outset today the stock market had Il
very different appearance rom what
1t had had Oh other days nj the
week. The note of buoyancy was gone
and while for the first hour or So
half-hearted attempts were made 10
advance a few specialties, the gen
eral list was decidedly heavy. As the
day went on selling pressure increased
and prices began TO come down, in
some instances quite sharply.
The Pan Americans broke badly
on the statement by tn Standard
Oil president that American oil COM
panies operating in Mexico stood TO
lose fully half their original invest
ment owing to the exhaustion of new
oil territory. Marland, Cosden and
Sinclair were supported for a time on
the idea that anything that was I'M
favorable for production in Mexico
was an argument in favor of Ameri-
can oil companies. But later on these
stocks also came down from their ton.
Stocks which have had d particu-
larry sharp rise within the last week
or were naturally the most sensitive
when the mariet started down. Mack
Truck. Studebaker, Kelly-Springfield
and American Can were cases. Ana
conda Copper, with the dividend off
the price, sold down to 80 on large
transactions. Steels readily went
along with the rest.
Chandler Motors. which USUALLY
moves with Studebaker. followed the
latter down and withdrawal of pool
support in Hupp Motors found a poor
market for that stock.
Railway shares, having had compar-
ltively little rise recently. were not
rs much affected as other parts of
The list by the selling movement.

The volume of business is so large and
the stimulus of prosperity so great
that radual advances are easily alb
sorbed.
In fact. the price advances have
stimulated buying to some extent to
prevailing confidence that business
will hold up to the top notch. Mer-
chants are making plans on the belief
that record prosperity will obtain at
least until the end of the summer.
