Market Is Irregular Despite
Buying Support-street
Watches Congress
Nv International News Service

NEW YORK, Dec. THE open
ing Of the new Congress shared al
most equally with the stock market
In general interest in the financial
1district today. The market was ir-
regular In the early trading, with
heavy offerings OF the industrial
speculative leaders, while the motor
and oil stocks showed evidence Of
good buying support. A 7-point ad-
vance in Chrysler motor simulta-
neously with drop Of 81 points
IN American can in the first half
hour OF trading illustrated the I'M
even trend Of the market. Trading
was heavy in this period and specu-
lative interest extended to most of
the principal groups Of stocks.
VII Streets interest in the pres
ent session Of Congress is unusually
keen because Of the constructive
legislation expected in relation to
tax reduction, railroad amalgama/
ton. and general Industrial and busi-
ness cooperation. Irrespective Of
political affiliations, Congressional
leaders are pledged to such a pro-
gram and have the voting strength
90 carry 1t through. For this rea-
son the speculative district looks for
continuation OF high-rate industrial
@&A4 O4SA1AG8S 0CIAN4kJR 5C4IGlNACA WCAA
into 1926.
Continuation OF profit taking and
switching" in the Industrial, rail-
road. oil and utility stocks produced
an irregular market in which some
stocks reached the highest price
levels of the year while others
dropped back q point or more.
Pennsylvania and New Haven led
the railroad stocks, the. former at
s. and the latter at 44h, the high
. est prices since 1917. American
CWaterworks pushed up TO a new
high above 20; Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit led q spirited movement in
the traction stocks while Consoli-
dated Gas and Columbia Gas were
active and strong. A new forward
movement in Atlantic Coast Line
brought that stock to q record high
price Of 241 u, representing a gain
Of nearly 100 points from the low
OF the year.
Call money opened at 5 per cent,
the tightening OF the money market
being reflected in the weekly state
ment OF the New York clearing
house banks, showing surplus re-
serves at less than $4,000, 900
against 100000 a few weeks
ago.

ORDER ISSUED FOR ARMY
TO WEAR ROLL COLLAR

Is exclusively predicted in the
Army and Navy Department OF The
Washington Times in July, the
Secretary Of War has officially
authorized the rolled or lapel collar
uniform for enlisted men and
officers of the army.
The many officers of the Third
Corps Area who were on duty at
Camp Meade, upon the prediction
Of The Washington Times that the
new uniform would be adopted be-
fore 1926, had refrained from buy
ing new uniforms Of the old style.
Several months ago plans were
drawn UP by the paper fer can
wasting the reserve and national
guard officers to learn the con-
sensus Of opinion regarding the
new proposed uniform.

 So MT. Tinkie and Mr. Grabby jumped to their feet, even though they were still pulling very hard and started out to catch their breaths; and, of course. the faster they ran. the more breath they lost, until they had to sit down and rest again. And by that time they were far away from Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.
 The Raggedys finished eating their pies; seven apiece, and then hopped upon their scooters and went lickity split away through the woods. And as they went, they laughed and giggled at the way they had fooled Mir. Tinkie and Mir. Grabby.
 Indeed! They are very silly" Raggedy Andy said, Cause anyone knows the way 10 catch their breath, is to sit down and let their breath come back 10 them"

 Madge Talks to "Steye."
 l found myself shaking as I put the receiver to my ear, and the fact that the intonations of the voice which came over the wire were faintly reminiscent of Dicky's own did not tend to steady my nerves.
 "Is this Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Rich ard Graham" the unmistakable voice of Steve" asked.
 "Yes. Who is this, please" l countered, entering upon the dia- logue which I had outlined 10 him when I had come to my mother-in- laws aid in the woods behind the Durkee house.

 He was so plausible that for a second l almost lost sight of the fact that he was improvising his story as he went along for the bene- 1t of possible station loaters. fol- lowing my explicit instructions. Then I brought myself to attention and answered him according to the formula already agreed upon.
 That will not be necessary" I said, investing my voice with a friendly courtesy which I was far from feeling. T have an errand in Bridgehampton, anyway, and l can talk to you there. If you will walk down the platform toward the west and continue on to the western end of the culvert, down by the road running under 1t. I can pick you up there without taking me out of my way"

 Existence of flies IS absolutely de- pendent upon filth. Flies cannot breed or live about a house that is clean.

When went back Into the H. brary, Ruth, Jack said:
 Who was your caller?"
 "A man from Roth and Chap man." l answered,
 ''I thought they had finished" !" Jack remarked.
 They have, but 1t seems that having read in the paper about the burglary, they sent a man up to find If the brocade In here had been injured in any way, He was coming in to see. but hearing you two, he said he would call again. Mics of them to send him up, wasn't it?"
 Very" said Bill Laidlaw dryly, as he went to the phone in the hall,
 He called up Roth and Chap mans studio and asked if they had sent man 10 see If our walls had been defaced in any way. He found out, Ruth. that they knew nothing about It, they had sent no one, and for that matter they knew that if anything had been hurt, l would call them immediately.
 Just as Bill was going 10 hang up the receiver, evidently the man at the other end said Wait a min ute."
 The commissioner told us after wards that Mir. Roth, with whom he was talking. had told him that that morning a man had come in saying that he was a friend of Jacks and that he had seen the brocade panels in the library and he was anxious 10 see if they had any more of the material, as he would like 1t in his library. He had insisted upon buying a small sample that his wife. who was an invalid, might see it.
 Something's gone wrong" Bill said as he hung up the receiver. That caller you just had was sent here on some mission, either to find
