INDUSTRIALS ON DECLINE
France and Germany Ex-
peCted to RatifY Dawes
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, April 14-All eyes
were centered at the start of the week
on the cabinet meetings to be held
in Paris and Berlin. Confidence pre-
vailed in Wall Street that both France
and Germany would Immediately
ratify the Dawes report. but stock
prices continued under influence Of
heavy selling which broke out again
Saturday. Further sharp declines in
the leading industrials resulted in
heavy margin calls over the week
end and offerings from this source
caused general recessions in the early
dealings. Baldwin sold at 1921 and
other speculative leaders were cor
lrespOndingly heavy.

CHRISTIAN STEPS OUT OF CONTEST
Asks Coolidge to Withdraw His
 Nomination

Washington, Feb. 20.-Senatc op- Christian, secretary to President Harding, as member of the federal trade commission, led to withdrawal by President Coolidge today of Mir Christians nomination at tho request of the nominee.
 It is probable that he will be ap- pointed to some other office. Opposition 10 him was expressed by number of labor leaders and recent ly the senate interstate commerce committee was told by Huston Thompson. chairman of the trade commission that Mir. Christian called 1923 and inquired as 10 the reasons for proceedings by the commission against the Famous Players Lasky moving picture corporation. Prediction has been made generally as result, that the nomination would fail of confirmation.
 Mir. Thompson declared he regard cd Mir. Christians course in regard to the picture corporation as unusual and said it appeared that someone" was using the office of the secretary to prevent action. The committee immediately invited Mir. Christian to appear before if today. but he re- quested q postponement and last night asked Mir. Coolidge 10 withdraw his name.
 Senator LaFollette, republican, Wis consin, one of those opposing con firmation, said today that With drawal of the nomination would close the incident unless Mir. Christian later were named to some other post requiring senate approval, Such step is regarded as unlikely,

Well at this time the waves were flashing over the hydroplane ten and fifteen feet in height, and the ship was drift ing off the course laid ont for us. Things looked dark and rescue seem cd uncertain. We drifted and man aged to stick to the craft for over nine hours, and when almost exhaust ed we were rescued by passing sub which chanced to run out of its usual course. We were only saved by our unusual reserve power and sheer will power kept us alive.

 Many of our periodicals write that the average life of an athlete is short ened because of the intense training. That is not so. f'igures show that the fellow who takes good care of him self and exercises faithfully. even If he does play football and other hard games. will outliyc and outstrip the man who does not exercise. 1t is only the fellow who dissipates after train ing who falls by thc waysidc.
 There is also great cry by the newspapers of inc day that too much football Is played in our colleges. I say not enough Is played. Football harms no one whom played clean. Ii offers healthy sport for millions oi people every fall. This is proved by the stadiums nov being built every year at tho cost or millions of dollars. Football Is ever growing in popular ity and developing as the great na- tional pnstime.

Why Gay Colors Are Always
 Popular
By FLORENCE CLARK

NEE Indian wears his blanket in
 all kinds of weat- CT. If you were
 to ask him why he does not feel the heat he would tell you, as he wrap ped it more closely about his shoulders, Keep out cold, keep out hot" The girls seem to feel the same way about their sweaters, for in spite of the many uncomfortably warm days we have had. sweaters lave been worn consistently.
 But if the truth must be told, the real reason of the popularity of sweaters is that their designs are de cidedly decorative. Contrasting lines and figures are ranged on the surface in endless combinations. Colors may be used more daringly than in any other sphere of dress. There is little duplication,G even in ready-made sweaters, and the .ome made ones are concrete evidence of the knitters' ingenuity and good taste. If you knit you may fashion something that you will be certain is without duplication. The sweater is the garment that gives color to afl sports gatherings. 1t makes the splashes that stand out among the white frocks and coats. Sports fabrics have ruIfHtrongiy to white this summer. But for sweaters, the impressionist pie lures of sports gathering would be lack ing in that warm colorfulness that makes them 50 attractives
 AidssUse Of Sweaters
 Another reason for the continued pop ularity of the sweater is that skirts by their variety and charm have conspired to extend the usefulness of the slip-on and sweater blouse. A particularly pret- ty skirt catches the eager eye of a wo- man. Perhaps she buys, an unusual over blouse to wear with it and, naturally, a sweater suggests itself and, as if by magic, she has achieved another costume. The whole outfit is becorNing and prac- teal and another devotee pf the sweater has been won.. ..

The intense shades, such as fuch- sia, have added depth and brilIiance when the material is a Injurious variety of fluffy stuff, the we'll known angora. You can develop subtle kolor alliances betweens your hair or etes and your sweater because of the finances offered by these lovely wools, If fou have blue- violet eyes there is . shade of yarn that brings out the strange bluisK shade so eleveriy that when looking at you one is conscious of none of the other fea- lures of your face. ,l
 Then there is a4cinnamon brown shade that has splendid possibilities, for the girl whose hair has a reddish tinge to it. A sweater of duh tone may quite easily fade the desirable gold glint into insignificance, but n bright tone catches it up and makes it effectively apparent where 1t had not been even noticeable.
