SHARP DECLINES
IN BUTTER PRICES
Surplus Supplies and Slow Demand
Cause Break During Past
Week.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, December 13.-Surplus
supplies and lack of demand caused
by the relatively high price levels
which had existed for two weeks
caused sharp declines in the principal
butter markets during the week.
Reduction IN storage holdings WAS
nearly 100000 pounds less than the
previous week. but much greater
than the corresponding period last
year, a condition which some oper-
ators considered lent firmness to the
market situation. Larger receipts of
fresh butter were taken as an indi-
cation of a continued increase in
production.
Closing wholesale prices and range,
80 score butter, at the principal mar
kets, follow: Chicago, 21a less at Al;
New York, IL less at 43h; Boston,
2 less at 4S, and Philadelphia. 1 less
at 441h

sumed in this country during No

readily absorbed. however, and the

OILS COME TO FRONT.
Stocks Neglected for Weeks Taken
Up in Days Trading.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW. YORK, December 13.-The
feature in today's market was the
sudden development of interest in the
oils. These stocks had been neglected
for weeks. They had refused to go
UP while the rest of the market was
boiling. The trade news was regard
ed as disappointing and consequently,
short interest had developed at the
same time that the weaker elements
IN the long account had been elimi-
mated.
MARYLAND Oil. Pacific Oil, Pure Oil
and Cosden were the leaders, all up
Ia to 2 points. Other oil shares fell
into line.
Steel shares Quiet.
The steels did little, United States
Steel common holding around 1171a
most of the two hours. Further COW
ering occurred in American Sugar, in
the course of which the stock went
up over 2 points to 51As. Philadel-
phia and Reading. one of the social
ed mystery stocks in which Wall
Street delights, was actively bought.
Another spectacular jump occurred
in West Penn Co. shares. Console
dated Gas made no further response
to Fridays decision in the dollar gas
case.
WorthingtOn Pump Jumps
worthington Pump advanced sharp
W to It's highest for the year. There
was nothing new TO explain Its
strength, and 1t was evident that the
buying movement was being extended
on the basis of the companys In
creased earnings possibilities. The
perfection and greater use of Worth
ington's feed water heating system
have been the chief consideration.
Moreover, strong financial interests
which have sponsored the stock have
shown no disposition to abandon
their very bullish position on Worth
ington stock.

White BApTISTS
IN SOUTH REFUSE
NORTHERN POLICY
Churchmen Call Northern Atti'
tude an Insult to Northern
Tradition.

Atlanta, Ga.-For some time there
has been tendency on the part Of a
great number of southern white
churchmen as well as northern white
churchmeu together in an endeavor
to come to some common understand
ing anent the question of dealing
with the so-called Negro problem. In
an effort to ascertain the attitude Of
southern white Baptists on the mat
ter. it was brought before the con-
vention here last Wednesday by the
executive committee.
The convention voted its determin-
alton to handle the Negro problem in
the South according to the southern
white mans conception of how it
should be handled without conference
or consultation with the Northern
Baptist Convention or any other or
ganization. Many speakers declared
that it was but a piece of imperti-
nence on the part of northern white
churchmen to endeavor to intrude
themselves into the affairs of the
South as respects the Negro I'VE
know the Negro better than anybody
else and also how to handle him best.
We don't need any outside advice or
help in taking care of the situation"
one speaker declared. The conven-
tiOn finally decided moro nOlitaIy
word the refusal to accept the pro-
posal and went on record stating that
lit would complicate a situation al
ready delicate enough"

and 30 cause plaster applied directly

The difference between vine-covered
and nori-covered walls Is in the time
when the sweating process takes
place. The leaves Of such vines have
somewhat the effect of = roof in
keeping much rain from reaching
the wall, and the aerial rootlets have
q tendency to absorb the moisture
than might get under the leaves.
Where the construction is defective
they may at times find crevices be-
tween bricks or stones and thus re-
veal poor workmanship, but rain and
frost will do that as surely as the
vines. On wooden buildings the
problem is somewhat different. Many
vines that climb by twining will
force their way thru any joint that
is not perfect and then by continued
growth force the woodwork apart.
Many other vines do not have this
injurious effect and can be used ap-

BBAUrFYNa THE FARMsrnAD

At this season of the year every
one is planning for spring planting
and with the first warm days o.
spring it is natural that one should
have a desire to clean up the yard
plant new flowers, re-arrange the un-
desirable landscaping and improve
the exterior of the farm home gen.
orally.
Homes are the foundation of ma
ton. With clean, attractive, pure
homes the youth become strong, up
RICH, honorable citizens. Anything
that will make the home better will
tend to improve citizenship.
The essentials of q good hime are
a man and a woman resolved by their
mutual efforts to make this world q
better place In which to live, and q
structure that will protect life and
health from undue exposure to the
elements. If the dwelling Is to be
really a home 1t must be more than
q place at which to eat and sleep. 1t
must be for the mature haven Of
rest from vexations incident to
breadwinning and other serious
duties of life and for the young a re-
treat for the solution of LIES prob
lens. Inspiration to better living
must be there, incentive to strive
diligently for the highest ideals, and
to attain these ends, not only must
the physical needs of the family be
supplied moderately well, but the
home must be attractive.
Is there anything that will make
the home more attractive than beau
