NIGHT SCHOOLS IF. EMSLEY OPEN TO. B|G ENROLMENT
Classes Are Expected To Ex- ceed Those Of Previous
 Years
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! EneIaxr Alb nof 1G

A1AciCSt <hAH.t Oths Ao
 That 750 students would enroll at the night schools in Ens1ey was, the estimate given Tuesday following the opening Monday night. At the Ems ley High school Prof. Elmer E. Smith said that 200 had enrolled which was an increase over last year of over 25 per cent. He said that the work of getting the classes straight ened out and other details connected with the opening would require few days but that he expected the en- rollment to exceed $50 or 400.
 The appeal of the school to those who cannot attend classes during the day is said to be strong among the boys and girls of Ensley the result being that the schools here will per haps show quite as large an enroll ment as any point Tn the district.
 It was stated by authorities at the Council school where negroes are be- ing enrolled, that 125 were listed Monday night and the opinion was entertained that the enrolment would exceed 300. Last year the number was considerably below this and the school starts out with greater promise than last season.
 Announcement has been made that the school will teach those accepted SuDJects to the StudentS With special work assigned to classes of 10 or more. The work will be done on Monday, Wednesday and, Friday nights of each week, lasting two hours per evening. By using this time one can obtain an advantageous course of study while the schools are operating. Should a class desire spe- cial studies these will be provided.
 School authorities are much pleased with the first enrollments and at tribute the gratifying results secured to the eagerness of boys and girls to obtain further learning, but who are prevented by various circumstances from attending day schools. To give these an opportunity of bettering their educations is the reason for the establishment of the night courses.

Brown Says Stock Market No Barometer Of General
 Business Conditions
Ky WALTER H. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial GeaSed Wire to The Age-Herald0

NEW YORK Oct 16.-After hold ing out promises of further gains during the morning session, Tues days stock market sagged badly in the afternoon. There was only one explanation-the same that has been given for some time and will continue to be given for some time to come, namely. a contest for position by professional operators seeking tech nical advantage.
 For example, the advance of Mon day afternoon was nothing more nor less than the bears bidding prices up on themselves in an endeavor to cover their short commitments, which, when aecC mplshed, took all the support out of the market that could come from such operations. At the same time there came temptations to take profits on the lond side which could not be resisted. The result of all this is a see-saw market in which the public at large has no particular interest.
 It is traditional for the business community to regard the stock mar ket as a barometer of general indus trial cond, tions, but it has been out of line for some months. Business men are now conceding this. They are contrasting the dark pessimism lfidL mas peTNduGu " all WiAil the actual facts of business stability tarouyho the country. No one con- tends that industry in all the depart men.7 Is running at the high speed of early spring. but there is not the general depression upon which Wall Street has based it's bear propa- ganda,
 Lower Wheat Rates Favored
 The suggestion by President Cool idge that the railroads reduce the rates on export wheat was favorably received. The probability is that the burden Of the decrease in freight rates will fall upon the eastern trunk lines. which have been enjoying pros perity ia recent times rather than upon the northwestern roads. which are severely handicapped by the same conditions that are embarras- sing the northwestern farmers.
 This cannot create foreign markets where none exist but it will give expression to the spirit of o-opera tion which everyone desires in an effort t6 help the farmers. It is of just as much importance to the finan- cia1 interests of the east to bring prosperity to the farmers of the northwest as it is to the interests of their own localities Prosperity for the farmer means increased buying power, increasing industrial activity, increased earnings for industrial stocks, and prosperity for the ceun- try at large.
