pointed upward in the first two
hours trading on the stock exchange
today. Gains in the majority Of cases
did not extend beyond fractional
limits, but the character Of trading
reflected confidence and lent color
to the belief that constructive inter.
ests were quietly accommodating their
lines in anticipation Of a turn in
business following the fixing of con-
sentative political tickets at the
coming national conventions.
Such Is never conducted in an ag.
gressive way and by means OF big
advances. but is usually accom-
pAshed by absorbing offerings as
they come along, thus preventing a
radical change in prevailing levels.
The speculative sentiment had
grown much more cheerful. 1t was
seen in the absence OF any efforts
to depress prices and more OPP
timistic attitude adopted by lead
ing commission houses. Many of
these, which had Deen bearish for
a long time, advised their clients
to leave the short side Of the mark
ct alone and prepare themselves
for bull campaign Of no mean
proportions. Whether right or
wrong their predictions went far in
q brighter atmosphere in market
circles and giving the list a firm
appearance.
President Coolidge's victory in
the presidential primaries in Cali
fornia and Indiana was most pleas
ing to the rank and file of specula-
tors and was greeted with higher
prices at the opening. Business
was fairly active In the first hour
or so but fell off Immediately in
the second period.
Coppers, feathers, sugars and mo-
tors stood out prominently in the in
dustrial list, buying of the latter be-
ing based on more optimistic sale
reports from different parts of the
country. There was an excellent de-
nland for public utility shares which
was principally in appreciation Of the
tact that the business is not a sea-
sonal one and that with the lower
prices for coal and other production
items unlimited prosperity in this
field is practically assured.
The best sort of buying was re-
ported in the railroad group. Both
the dividend paying and low priced
issues were steadily accumulated.
Northwestern shares were particu-
larry firm. Western Pacific pre-
ferred was strong on rumors Of an
impending stock dividend. Call
money renewed at 81 per cent.

IL Bunny said something was in
teresting it was bound to be.
What kind of a frog is this
One?" I asked.
"Darwin's frog" answered
Bunny, putting on the important
air when he is telling us SOME
thing new.
"Oh." I answered, named
after the great student of ma
ture."

.Scended from monkeys?" Bobby
queried.
"The very same" I answered.

have a frog named after you,"

Bunny. "They do their work
we'll"
What do they do besides hav-

the boy, rather sheepishly. "I'd
BIKE to see that fellow come up
again"
And the fellow did come up
again. We sat there waiting
quietly and sure enough on the
surface of the water suddenly
some bubbles appeared and in a
moment Mr.. Darwin Frog jumped
up on the bank of the pond.
Watch him." whispered Bunny.
Watch him we did. We sat as
still as three mice watching the
TAT little fellow. He didn't ap-
pear to be doing very much be-
side sitting in the sun, but we
were mistaken. He was doing
something very important for the
frog family.
Suddenly he gave a gulp.
"He's choking on something"
Bobby whispered.
