Railroad and Traction Issues
Take Lead in Trading
Today.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

SPccldt biepdtcn 10 lHe Stdr-
NEW YORK, December 2.-Trac-
tions were the leaders in today's
bond market with the Interborough
Rapid Transit issues the most prom
inent. These issues displayed great
strength. The refunding SIS un-
stamped crossed 20 and the stamped
bonds touched 20 in the first two
hours of trading. At these prices the
unstamped bonds were selling within
less than a point of the high of the
year, while the stamped issue had
equaled the high Of the year. Both
the per cent and the Z per cent
notes made new highs today.
Good Earnings Reports.
Some of this buying may have been
brought about by the favorable Octo-
her earnings statement, which showed
balance after fixed charges more
than twice as high this year as In
1923. Probably, however. the belief
that the local political situation was
improved had more to do with the
days active speculation.
The favorites among the speculative
rails continued their advance. NJ, *.
& 7. adjustments made another new
high at II. ST. Louis San Francisco
incomes crossed IS, also for a new
high record. J. c.. n. adjustments
were firm around 66, and Seaboard
Air Line adjustments around "a. All
these bonds keep pace with the spec
ulatiVe activity in their respective
stocks.
Foreign Group Quiet.
Trading in the foreign group went
on more quietly today. The new
French Is were steady, but the Nord
Railway 6l2s, which were heavy yes
terday, lost more ground today. The
offering is scheduled very shortly of
s1o,ooo,000 French National Mail
Steamship lines rs, due 1949, on a $50
per cent basis. These bonds will have
what amounts to a guarantee by the
French government
Today's new issues included $1,000

due 1850, at par; s1.oO0.O0o Manches-
ter On. H) Traction Light and Power

some moths ago, at the ministry of education in Paris. The minister had brought together the most brilliant as- sembly of scientists that had ever been seen together under one roof. Among them all, sitting in armchair like a queen on her throne, was woman the only woman there. The session had been called. to decide the use that was to be made of the IS million francs that had been subscribed for the labora- tories of France. Were these millions to be used for new buildings, for the development of education, or merely for the improvement of that which already existed? Two undersecretaries of state gave their opinion, and q senator and the president of the board of education expressed opinions. Suddenly Mme
 Curie asked for the floor. The voice of the only woman present rang out clear ly, grave, and modulated. She said ex- actly that which should have been said. Above all, she declared, it was necessary to perfect that which we already had i;

FORMAL OPENING
 BY GAFFORD
New Service Station Is Both Modern And
 Efficient

The formal opening of Gafford Tire company celebrating the final compie- tion of it's new service station on the corner of Twenty-first street and ave nue was quite an event on Auto row yesterday. This firm made a most interesting offer to motor car owners on this occasion, giving away gallon of Polarine Motor oil with every flve gallons of Crown gasoline purchased; All day hundreds of motorists thronged the curb awaiting an opportunity to participate in this generous offer.
 The new service station of Gaftord Tire company is one of the most modern and complete in the south. A drive-in arrangement makes it exceptionally con- venient for car owners to avail them- selves of the splendid tire service rem lered, An up-to-date battery department equipped with what is declared to be the largest constant potential battery charging apparatus in Birmingham, is also maintained. Attractive and com modious sales rooms are provided where batteries for automobiles and radio sets, Brunswick tires and tubes an d all kinds of accessories are sold.
 The Gafford concern is one of the oldest and best known of the city and this substantial evidence of progress is gratifying to it's. officials.

PIERCE LAuDED AT !. ALTO SHOW
New Series 80 Greatly Admired By All Visitors

Running true to form, the remark able new Series so Pierce Arrow proved to be the sensation of the Motor show held during the past week at the auditorium. Thousands of people ad- mired this latest addition to the famous Pierce-Arrow family of finest motor cars. Hundreds of interested people were heard to remark that, in their opinions, this wonderful car was every inch a Pierce-Arrow and quite worthy of the traditional prestige which it in herits with the Pierce name.
 Everyone interested in fine cars marveled at the design and construction of the Series so Pierce. In appearance, the Pierce-Arrow is ultra modern to the last detail; in construction, it is a work of art. Of course, only the finest materials available are used in the Series 80-this has always been an invariable rule with Pierce-Arrow. This careful selection of materials, coupled with the distinctive Pierce-Arrow design and construction, has created a rather impressive atmosphere of refinement about the Series 80. On seeing it, one cannot fail to note the flawless lines, the dignified appointments, and the quiet and tasteful appearance of the car as a whole. The car is correct :; 1t is a truly fine cara leader.
 Literally thousands of people have always wanted the things in car which are typified by the Pierce Arrow. The ownership of the car which is recognized as America's best means a great deal, and Pierce-Arrow is to be congratulated on placing Pierce quality within the reach of the many who have heretofore been unable to pay the price of Pierce-Arrow ownership. And Nc Cornack Brothers Motor company is to be congratulated on their initiative in making it possible for Birmingham motorists buy such q car at home.

It seldom even knows who wrote the play that it is seeing. I don't think that l exaggerate the case when I state that, barring Shakespeare, there are only three dramatic authors in the world whose names alone are sufficiently at tractive to the Broadway public to fill theater for three nights. These three authors are Bernard Shaw, J. NJ. Barrie and George M. Cohan.-Clay- ton Hamilton in Worlds Work.

Though the taste of Broadway be- comes more indefinable from year to year as it expands and grows more and concerning which fairly definite
 conclusions may be reached. In the first place, it is apparent that, while the Broadway public is enormously in- ularly interested in the drama. Of course, the theater is one thing and the drama is another; but the Broadway public seems to make no distinction be- tween the two. The drama is an art of authority; and the theater is a temple of entertainment which is capable of housing many other things besides the drama. In it's search for entertainment

You KNoW IN ADVANCE

Dodge Brothers Motor Car owners know in advance what any service operation will cost.
 But they do not pay in advance for service they may never need.
 That is because Dodge Brothers do not believe in so-called free serv- ice, which simply means that the sell ing price of the car is so inflated that the extra profit is sufficient to cover free" service costs.
 Under the "free" service policy, every owner pays a maintenance fee for the upkeep of every other owners car and he pays this fee in advance. Under Dodge Brothers policy, the owner is not so penalized. He pays fair, predetermined price for service, but he pays only as he needs it-and he pays only for his own
