wound in his brothers neck that HI
was acting in self-defense and die
not know he did it. He is said to still

ing complacent land of refuge for the Communist who has no country and the royal prince who has no home. Driven out from other cOun- tries of Europe these wanderers seem to head for Portugal on the western edge of Europe, and cause trouble for the Lisbon police. There is no |other state to which they can be pass led along, and vessels dropping anch- or in the Tagus do not seem to want them as passengers.
 Some of the Communists travel like princes, and there is here today no prince in particular who looks like a shabby suspect. Hotel porters are sometimes at a loss whether to ad dress new guest as your high ness" or simply "comrade.'
 The followers of Communism, un- der the influence of the warm Por- tuguese weather, often assume the mild and satisfied air of people who are taking the rest cure. As for the prince, a relative of the King ot Spain who recently was driven out of France, this man stalks about moodily and bemoans his banishment from the pleasures of Montmartre.

Kentucky Derby Winner
 Will Annex Big Purse

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 9.-A record number of nominations for the fifty first renewal of the Kentucky Derby lis expected by turf writers who, taking into account the large number of eligibles wintering at the Louis vile tracks, and elsewhere, predict dict the 152 nominations of last year will be exceeded when the entries close this month.
 The race for three-year-olds at a mile and a quarter, will be run at Churchill Downs, Saturday, May 16, the seventh day of the spring meet.
 The purse with $50,0O0 added by the Kentucky Jockey Club, may be the largest in the history of the half cen tury old classic. Last year 19 of the 152 nominees accepted the issue, mak- ing the purse $52,775 for the winner, Black Gold. The year previous when Zev, the Rancocas Stables colt won, 20 started, giving the race net value of $53,600. The starting fee, $500, is added to the $50,0OO purse.

 There will be 20 students in each country. The course will consist of 25 lessons, and at it's conclusion the young men will exchange letters with each other in Esperanto on business subjects:

Seldom does a brokers customer, it is said have more than 15 separate stock issues in his strongbox, and he can readily memorize their changed degisnations anew. The hardest hit will be the brokers themselves, and the reporters on the floor of the ex. change who pluck sales on the wing from the brokers milling around the score of trading posts, but to them it is all in the game.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Plans of the New York Stock Exchange, announced for February 2, to abbreviate symbols on 100 important stocks, are expected to speed up the stock ticket almost 20 per cent.
 The ticket would then print an av- craze of 55 transactions every 50 sec onds upon the tape reeling from the familiar clicking glass hive into the basket, a quickening in pace almost 50 per cent of that of two years ago. The change has been made necessary by the recent record breaking bull market of two million share days, dur ing which the ticket at time has fallen as much as 15 to 42 minutes behind the actual trading.
 Concurrently the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Stock Ex change agent for major distribution oi stock quotations, is at work upon ad ditional wire extension of the terri tory it serves direct.
