Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Examiners Would Deny
Michigan Construction.

Examiners Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission today recon-
mended to the commission that the
applications of the Detroit Connect
ing Railroad and the Detroit Grand
Belt Railroad for permission to
construct certain, lines Of railroad
In Michigan be denied.
The Detroit Connecting Railroad
sought permission to construct 86.7
miles from Delray, a Detroit sub
urb. to Marine City, Michigan. Re-
garding this project the examiners
said: 1.-THE financial plan is OBJ.
jectionable and does not commend
the enterprise"
The Detroit Grand Belt Railroad
asked for permission to construct
forty.seven miles Of road from
Wyandotte through Dearborn and
Pontiso to Mt. Clemens. The esti-
mated cost Of this project Is about
$5,OOO,000, without equipment.
Facts Of record are not sufficient
to show the need for the proposed
line, its utility or it's prospective
earning power or that the project
Is promoted by persons whose ex.
perience in such matters would give
much weight to their mere opinion, 1"

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Short

Treasury totaling $700,000,000 Ina-
ture between now and March Is,
and the manner in which they win
be paid or refunded is of unusual
interest to the investment market
today. Secretary Mellon has given
no indication as to how much Treas

meantime the income from Federal
taxes win be substantial.
Doubtless 1t will be necessary to
put out some new issues Of either

specializing as to the volume and
interest rates thereon. Heretofore
the Treasury has not disclosed these
conditions until the eve Of the Of

The census responsible for the

ISOLATION ct q meeting held here
at Columbia University.
She declares that she re-
ceived from fitly-one subjects,
all adult women, who took
notes every time they got
angry. The test lasted a week.
The average for the week was
2.8 fits of anger each. Her
subjects reported that they got
angrier before meals than after
meals, and more Of them got
angry on Friday or Saturday
than on Monday or Tuesday.
The more frequent effects
Of these fits were brought
about by irritability and shame,
while more women got angry
at persons than things.

Bears Active in First Hour,

News Serice.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Renewed
bearish efforts met with indiffer.
ent success in the first two hours
trading on the stock exchange to-
day. Professional operators seeking
TO exploit the latest unsavory de-
Velopments in the oil inquiry, ap-
peared entirely unable to induce a
general selling movement. What
ever weakness was noted was due
TO special causes affecting industrial
stocks.
Copper shares, for instance, were
again heavily sold in further, re-
Iiection of the passing of Anacon-
oa's dividend and in anticipation of
unfaVorable dividend action by
other high cost copper producers
Anaconda dropped below 33, new
low for 1924. Chemical stocks
formed another group which drew
considerable attention because of
It's weakness. Yesterdays half
hearted recovery in Virginia Caro-
lima Chemical preferred was fol-
lowed by fresh break which car
r1ed the stock to a new low in the
company's history. Rumors were
passed around that the company
was facing a reorganization due to
It's inability to pay off it's maturing
bank loans.
A APPOINT decline took place in
Cast Iron Pipe common in response
to the decision of the court of
chancery in NewaYk enjoining the
board Of directors to declare any
dividends on the common until all
accumulated dividends due on the
preferred have been paid. Cast Iron
Plpe preferred naturally was fav-
orably affected by the decision,
running up 4 points. Leather and
rubber stocks were under belated
liquidation resulting from the poor
earning results for 1923.
Bears had the upper hand in
the balance of the list in the first
half hour or SO. but their offerings
old not dislodge any long stock.
Consequently they gave up their
campaign at the beginning of the
second hour, and rally ensued
which brought leading stocks back
70 their previous closing level
Motors, in particular, displayed firm
ness, while Fisher Body and Davi-
son Chemical were distinctly strong.
Railroad shares gave generally
good account of themselves. Nor
folk & Western was a bright spot in
the dividend paying group, crossing
ITO. Buying was based on the ex-
pectatIon of an increased extra div
1dend. Wabash preferred deyeloped
strength in the low priced section.

Took Name From Crou

In using the ordinary crowbar few
of us connect that heavy implement
with the crow. Dictionary research
is needed to explain the relation of
the two words. Investigation shows
that crowbar is defined as ga bar
with a strong beak, like that of a
crow" The beak Of a crow is one
of the birds most powerful tools ami
weapons When the first crowbars
were fashioned it was Only natural
that the makers should see the re
semblance of it prying end to the
beak of the bird, and the use of the
name "crowbar" was entirely logical
The bird itself, incidentally, took-its
name from the nature of it's cry, sug-
costing the old Anglo-Saxon word
caravan" In the Anglo-Saxon tongue
"crawan" was equivalent to the Eng
fish verb ito crow"

Brainy Children Come
From Small Families

Do not pity the only child. He has
brothers and sisters, according to con-
clusions reached by Dr. Hornell Hart
as result Of study of 600 families
In typical Iowa city. The results
have been reported to the Iowa child
research station at Iowa City, Iowa.
Children from large families are handi-
capped mentally, morally and socially.
Doctor Hart declares.
In representative sample of chill
dren from practically completed fam
lilies in Davenport, Iowa, the ability of
the children, as determined by mental
tests, was found generally to run high
er the fewer the number of surviving
children. Children with no living
brothers or sisters tend to have men,
tai test Quotients about 10 points high
er than children with IL living broth
ers and sisters, and the average men,
tai test ability decreases fairly stead
lily as the size of the families in
creases:
School progress, that is in excess
of the amount to be expected from
mental test ability, is at a maximum
In families of four or five living chill
dren, and at minimum in families of
ten children or over" Doctor Hart
says. "The difference between the
progress in school of these two groups
is such that the average child in the

of a year through conditions other
than mental test ability associated
with large families.
"The larger the family the greater
the tendency is for the children to
leave school at the earliest possible
age.
"Of families with seven or more
living children, ii per cent are chron-
1cally dependent, as compared with 3
per cent among families with six chill
dren or less.
las far as can be ascertained from
families are less energetic less kind,
less sincere and less honest than chill
dren from small families. This con-
clusion is fairly certain for energy,
but not so decisive for the other char
acteristics.
Contrary to general impression,
children without brothers and sisters
compare very favorably with children
having brothers or sisters Birth or
der, as far as it was studied in this
inquiry, appears to have very little
significance. kansas City Times.
