MANY ISSUES HEAVY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March Interest in
the Stock Exchange trading today
Centered in Il handful of individual
moves. The general list was extreme
" irregular with fully as many
losses as gains. 1t was the trans
actions in the Wilson & Co. issues, in
Interborough Rapid Transit, in Radio
Corporation and in a few other spe-
cialties which drew attention away
from the main body of stocks. The
usual week end proft-taking kept a
good sized part of the list heavy.
The market for the local traction
shares showed that even with Fri
DAYS decline il had by no means
become adjusted to the unpleasant
impression produced by the statement
of the head Of the transit commits
sion that he would oppose any in
crease from the five-cent fare. There
was a rush to sell Peterborough
Rapid Transit, which carried the
stock down below "a as against 26$4
the previous close. Manhatton guar
antee lost over a point and Third
Avenue went lower Brooklyn Man
hatton Transit was sympathetlcally
affected.

1t looked as if there might have
been a lingering short interest in the
Wilson & Co. stocks the coVering-ln
of which caused such sensational ad-
vances. The preferred sold at 80 as
against 80 Friday morning. and the
common above 13 compared with
Fridays low of Sl4. Later there was
a violent break.

upon another crude oil price increase

Of these stocks did little more than

had another break rejecting the re-
cent disturbances in the market for

Coming sessions of state legisla.
lures will undoubtedly be faced
with agitation for compulsory au.
tomobile liability insurance. The
demand will come mostly from
persons interested in launching
the state into the business of fum
iShing such insurance. 1t will be
the old drive of socialism against
private enterprise.
An opponent of a compulsory
law says: "The pistol and its an.
cestor, the gun, are behind nearly
every crime of violence in this
country. Why should not every
purchaser of deadly weapon be
required to take out compulsory
insurance for $4,000 to cover his
liability against accidental or
criminal use of such weapons9"
The newspapers daily record
deaths and injuries from guns re-
sulting from willful or accidental
discharge. The total list would ri

Doing the Shopping


il human nature were not what
ii is, the Christmas season might
not be one of rush and worry ov-
or what TO buy, and sales forces
in stores would not be rushed to
exhaustion in the two or three
weeks before the event. If people
did their shopping when it could
be done under the least congcsted
conditions, it might extend over
months instead of weeks, and it
would not be less seasonable.
However, none but the excep-
tional person thinks of shopping
until it cannot be put off longer.
Then it becomes an ordeal and is
so strenuous that it tends to rob
the season of the "cheer and good
will" that attach to it sentiment
ally The good viii" might ac-
tually peryade the shoppers were
they not overworked trying to
find what they want and strug-
Cling to. get it. Yet it would not
be Christmas for a lot of people
were it otherwise. They have be-
come so accustomed to waiting
and then making a hurry-up job
of it that they would not feel right
were it done betimes.
Human nature is a peculiar
thing despite the fact that all of
us have it. 1t wouldn't be human
nature if it wasn't odd. If we
did everything in reasonable
and sane way we would not be hui
man beings. We would be super
human and that is too much to
expect. 1t is the pcrogative of
human beings to do as they please
and Of course most Of us please
to delay as long as we can the do
ing of what we cannot avoid.
There may be those who are fore
handed in Christmas shopping
but they are rare and so different
from the mass that they are odd,
too.
BY the way, we must do our
shopping pretty soon.

val the automobile casualties. The
law provides punishment for Grim,
inal use Of a gun and it does the
same for an automobile. But it
provides no insurance recovery
for victim accidently injured by
"a gun. Why should the law be
stretched to protect the victim Of
automobile accidents and leave the
victim of death-dealing guns
helplessi
1t would be Just as easy to re-
.qure the purchaser OF a gun to
take Insurance protecting the pub
lie, as it would to require the pur-
chaser Of an automobile to carry
insurance. In the effort to curb
automobile accidents and gun ac-
cidents, it may be necessary to
tighten the liability laws relating
to the owners Of such articles. This
would automatically increase the
necessity for insurance protection.
But this is no reason for putting
the state into the insurance bust
ness.

Our Ways and Our Fathers Way!

"
We often toll up the hillsides
Forgetting the sweet wales of rest
We plunge into dense, tangled
forests,
When the plain narrow is the best.
We pass the beautiful roses
That bloom near our way every
day;
But we see not the beauty beside
us
With our eyes on the fields far
away.
We wade through deep, foaming
waters
And see not the bridge, plain in
sight;
We stumble and grope in the
darkness
When God bid us walk in the light.
We foolishly turn from Gods sun
light
To watch the shadows we cast;
We fly from them, still looking
backward,
Then weep that follow so fast.
Our ways are not thine, 0 our
Father,
They lead to wild depths Of unrest
And they take us far out of our
journey,
They lead us to regions unblest.
0 help us compassionate Savior
And open our sin-blinded eyes
And show us how full of Thy glory
Are even the grayest Of skies.

Wedding Bells

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Johnsan's
