THOSE ECONOMY STORIES FROM WHITE HOUSE,

There has been much discussion. somo of It tincturcd with acerbity. regarding the effects upon business of economical ideas Of President Coolidge. And when the story came rom Washington that President Coolidge would wear last years straw hat the yell of pain that went up from the hat Industry and some other industries was rather pathetic,
 Ever since President Coolidge has been in the White House stories have come from the capital regard ing tho most astonishing plans for personal economy by the first man Of the land. Some Of them perhaps may be oycrdrawn; that the Presi- dent, however, Is not going to spend a great deal of money for personal ralment or adornment is sclf-evi- dent.
 The President should not be re- Eardcd as setting an example for others, If he went 10 the other cx- treme, for instance, the purchase of seven straw hats, one for every day in tho week. and the purchase of dozens Of pairs Of shoes and dozens of suits of clothing, he would not hc regarded as setting an example for the remainder of the country. f. would merely be said that Prcsi- dent receives q very comfortable salary and ought 10 have sufficient money 10 indulge himself in this way. but that such things were not for the average man.
 There are many types of mon in the world; Mir. Coolidge happens 10 . be of type who does not go in for now raimont if some of last years can he held over, Some mon are this way, others will have none oi ! it Mr. CooIilge's personal prefer . rUcrs regarding sartorIal economy i however ought not 10 be broadcast cd thorughout tho country with the l implication that he is setting an cX- ample for others in the realm oi ! economy He isn't; he is not elected to oficr for any such purpose. Ii ho wants to wear last years stra" hat-as some men try 10 do anc many do not--it really Is nobody business.
 Personally, " don't think th' President is going to do anything o tho Eind We haven't seen q stra x
 hat for years that could he wor
 two.cntire seasons without lookin
 like a mushroom. If inc Prosidon
 can wear q straw hat for two sea sons wo would like to know 1h'
 make and got one.

STOCKS
industrial and Railroad Shares
Push Forward Vigorously
in Early Trading
b. Internetional SOW servIee.

NEW YORK, FEB. 90. Specula-
tive activity in the first two hours
today centered in small number
Of industrial and railroad stocks
which were pushed forward vigor'
ously in another impressive bullish
demonstration. The rank and file
and speculative stocks failed to at
tract much attention, trading in
them was limited and prices moved
within narrow limits.
The active stocks included Bald
win, which pushed above 14O Tor
the first time since 1923; Fan amer
lean oils, which gained two points
on reports that the directors, sit
ting in Los Angeles today, would
increase the quarterly dividend:
Rock Island railroad up nearly two
points on run1ors connecting this
road with important transportation
mergers; Savage Arms. up four
points on active trading; American
Can and General Electric sold high
er on small volume of trading and
United States Steel got back To-
124.
The bulls had the advantage in
the money market with the re-
discount rate OF the reserve bank
remaining 8 per cent and call loans
renewing at per cent. Grain
markets opened nearly a cent high
err; cotton was heavy and foreign
exchange irregular, French francs
being unaffected by. the assurance
of French officials that $685.
900 900 American loan to France
was forthcoming.
Trading increased in volume in
the second hour and more progress
was made by stocks in almost every
group in reaching higher price
levels. Baldwin, Rock Island and
Pan American oils continued to lea1
the rally in stock prices, all Of
these stocks reaching new high
ground for the year on the heaviest
volume of trading that has been
seen for some time. Selling of active
oil and Industrial stocks gave the
market an. uneven appearance AMI
price movements were by no means
uniform.
