RAILROADS AGAIN. 5 Uy EQURMEN MI
65,000 Cars And Many Lo- comotives To Be Needed
 By Carriers
Ky WALTER B. BROWN Leased Wire To AEe-HcrnId.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Reports as to conditions in the steel industry dwell upon two features, the contl- ruity of the buying, even though it. is not made up of large individual orders, and the fact that the rali- roads are again in the market for new equipment.
 It IS estimated that fully 65,000 cars will be needed and large number of locomotives, to say noth- ing of a large supply of steel rails. There has also been an uneXpectedlys good demand for automobiles in the past several weeks. The building program will be heavy for some time. to come. There is rfo reason to view the steel situation with apprehen- sion.
 The oils industry is topsy- -turvy at, present. not because of any falling off in demand so much as because of excessive supply. According to the best expert information obtainable, the California field has now passed the peak of it's production. The trade was beginning to have some hope that conditions would become stabilized once more when a new 15- 900 barrel well was reported from the Powell field, in the Balcones faulted zone in Texas. This narrow strip is about 30 miles long and is a geological freak. Three times in its history. 1t has started producing at a rate that hs demoralized the crude market and twice before has pe- tered out as suddenly as it began. Prices Are Slashed.
 Reserve supplies in all parts of the country have now become burden some and the refining companies are cutting prices of gasoline, two and three cents a gallon to the con- Sumer. In Texts a price war has. forced the price at automobile fill ing stations to anywhere from six to II cents gallon and it is even being given to buyers of automobile acce ssories and supplies,
 If there is one thing the busi- ness communitywishes it could count on it is that the new Congress will not try any stunts. There is no real fear that it will accomplish any thing in the way of radical leg1sla- tlon, because the radical element is not numerous enough. but it can ob- struct legislation, which is why the influential republican leaders do not deem 1t advisable to attempt to carry out the administrators program of tax reduction

ATTEMPT TO DESTROY
 TOWN IS INDICATED.
Robbers Belived To Have Started
 S100,O00 Quitman. Ga. Fire

HUFFMAN, Ga, Oct. 21.-Fire that broke out in three different parts of Quitman at 1:40 o'clock this morning and believed to have been plot to destroy this city, caused more than $10O,O00 loss.
 Fire companies that made a fast run here from Valdosta, 20 miles away, and heroic work on the part of local fire fighters saved the city.
 Robberies that have been reported during the afternoon and night from all parts of the city, appear to con firm the theory here that robbers caused the fires.
 Several attempts were made to open safes in offices and business houses, it was reported.

BUREAU COMPLETES WAR PROFITS AUDIT
Clean-Up Of Smaller Assessments
 To Be Undertaken

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The bureau of internal revenue, which has been making detepmined eff fort to bring its collections and audits Of war profits and income taxes up to date, has succeeded in that task and now is ready to turn it's attention to a cleanup of the smaller and less important assess ments by the federal government.
 A more rigorous enforcement of the less important items, it Is de- clared, will ad many millions of dol lars to the governments income, al- though the amount produced by one of the items may be comparatively small.
 The first step by the bureau in its new program embraces a detailed checkup on the sale of jewelry.

MADAME kOLLANTY ALTIC TRADE CONDITIONS
Soviet Minister To- Norway Finding Work Extremely
 Fascinating

; BERLIN, Oct. 2I-(By, Asso ociated Press.)-Madame Kollanty, soviet minister to Norway, is now in Ser lin to consult with members of the Russian embassy here concerning trade conditions in the Baltic coun- tries.
 T have found that the develop ment of trade relations in Russia and Norway is extremely fascinating work" Madame Kolfanty told the correspondent. "I am much grati- fled at the exportation of Russian grain to Norway. In exchange for thA grain Norway is shipping paper to Russia, especially print paper of which we have great need since the newspapers are reviving rapidly.
 Russia always imported consid- erable paper, and although we have restored the paper mills and our paper industry is in a better condi- tion perhaps than any other, we can not meet the demand.
 "We are also selling Norway some wheat, but our chief export to that country is rye, and we are getting considerable business which the United States formerly had"
 Madame Kollanty is a soviet Rus sias chief feminist leader. When asked as to the condition of women in Norway she replied that inasmuch as women have the ballot and legis- lation for the protection of women and children has been extremely comprehensive, she finds social con- ditions there excellent.
 "The trouble with most of the women in Norway and elsewhere, she continued, lis that they have too many housekeeping responsibilities. Women cannot do woman's and mans work, too, without sighting one or over-taxing her powers"
 Madame Kollanty said her sex had been no handicap to her work in Norway.

NOTABLE INCREASE IN BUYING ORDERS
Increased Demand Is PraCtl- calIy Evened Up By Sell
 ing Orders

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-There was notable increase both in inquiries and in &C., bonds during the past week. Net changes in most instances, however, were not large, traders reporting that selling orders practically evened up the increased demand
 New bond offerings, $99,064.000, the highest for any one week since that ending June 15, excepting, of coUse; the week in which the S2O0,OOO,0OO United States treasury financing was placed. In addition there was an off, fering of $15,0G0, ,000 Nickel Plate rail- road preferred stock, the first Issue of this sort offered the public in many months.
 Time Money Is Plentiful.
 Time money was quoted at 5@5M per cent. with an increasing amount coming into the market at the lower rate. The present rate is the lowest since June and compares with 512 c 5M per cent a month ago.
 Bankers expressed great satisfac tion with the manner in which new bonds were being absorbed. The largest issues of the past week were S47 ,000, ,000 federal land bank bonds, S22 100000 Illinois soldiers bonus and highway bonds, and S10,000,0 ,0O0 Republic of Finland external bonds. Announcement was made that the Swedish Match company, through it's American company, the International company, would soon offer an issue of $15,000,000 debenture bonds, the proceeds to be used to extend the | company's operations in Mexico, Can ada and South America.

 Continued selling of United States | government bonds, said to be by | banking institutions, failed to unset tie the market for those issues last week, as large orders were in for their purchase. The, result was a firm tone throughoutSth week, with practically all of them pointing up- ward at the close. There was some pressure against the French bonds, but recessions were | negligible. On the other hand, the Mexican issues were pushed down ward on renewal of reports that the Mexican debt agreement may suffer further delay International bank CTS, however. continued to express confidence in the agreement.

DEADLIEST GAME
Thirteen Golfers Drop Dead On
 British Courses.

LONDON Oct. 21.-Golf has be- come England's deadliest game. Thirteen golfers have dropped dead while playing on British courses this year.
 one leading specialist has declared that 30 years is the danger age for golfers, as after that the arteries be- come rigid and it IS dangerous to swing a club. Others have disagreed and say the deaths show merely that a man of middle age or over needs periodical overhauling to test his fitness to play.

LISTEN IN NIGHTLY ON U. s. RADIO PROGRAMS
British Amateur Experimenters Dont's Mind Staying Up Late

LONDON, Oct. 21.-British amateur radio experimenters are listening nightly to American broadcasting programs.
 Within the last few months re- ceiving sets have been developed so that eXperimenters can turn on the Wanamaker of Annapolis program whenever they want to sit up late enough. It is midnight here when 1t is D. m. in New York.
 Great Britain has been far behind the United States in broNdcasting. There was a mushroom growth at the beginning. and 100000 licenses were issued for receiving sets. Diff ficulty arose regarding the issue of licenses. and people began making their own sets.
 Now there are perhaps 5o0,000 listeners-in altogether. licensed and culty has been settled there will be more.
 The ordinary listener-in is not able to pick up America, as his set is not made for long distance work. But many experimenters with home made sets do 1t without difficulty Some of them do it with one-valve sets.
 With the new simultaneous broad casting, experiments are to be made soon in transmitting speeches and concerts by land and submarine tele- phone from the continent to London, where they will be amplified and sent on by land lines for broadcast ing at provincial stations. Radio ex- perts believe 1t will not be long be- fore an American program can be sent across the Atlantic, amplified here, and broadcasted similarly.

 OPPELN BANKRUPT
 |. Oppeln, the Upper Silesian mining center that figured prominently In the riots growing out of the trans- fer of part of Silesia to Poland, has declared itself bankrupt in a formal communication to the district authorities.
 Swinemunde not long ago found itself in the same condition but that town was assisted by the central government in re-establishing it's finances on a workable basis.
 Oppeln is city of 30,0O0 inhabi- tantsA It was formerly the seat of the Upper Silesian dukes of the Piasten Dynasty. and was part of the independent Kingdom of Saxony. It played an important part in both the seven years war and the 3O-years war and has a famous castle that is now used as an official building.
 Oppeln and Swinemunde have gone through the same experiences as most German cities in trying to increase taxes to meet the decline of the mark, but they stand alone in that they have admitted bankruptcy: There is little doubt, however. that this is also the conditions of scores of other municipalitiesl which arc struggling to keep out of the hands of the receiver.
 Appeals have appeared in the newspapers asking former residents of German cities to lend them fnan cial assistance, and Philanthropisls Us who desire to take a town or city for a ward have a wide choice
