NEW YORK, Dec. %. Starting
from q slightly lower level Of prices
at the opening OF the Market the
industrial and speciality stock Lead
ers made moderate recoverles IN
early trading today from Mondays
closing slump.
Aggressive moves were made by
q number of the oil stocks under the
lead of Atlantic Refining and Pan
American. The motor stocks were
slightly reactionary, and failed IN
this period to recover with the bal.
ance Of the speculative list.
The weekly summary OF brokers'
borrowings showed an increase OF
only $31 900, 900, which was consid-
cred favorable. Money renewal
rates continued at 5h per cent, and
the supply OF funds WAS reported
ample for all requirements.
Only the regular quarterly divi-
dend of so cents a share was de-
clared by American Can directors,
an result OF which that stock was
freely sold in this period.
Sharp reactions occurred In the
second hour in prices Of b number
of the industrial and speciality stocks
which led Mondays early rally.
The list included International
Combustion, Warner Brothers, Con.
tinental Baking and Allied Chemi-
cal. The commission houses re-
ported a good volume Of tax selling
and the professionals were arrayed
quite strongly on the short side Of
the market.
The slump in Atchison carried the
stock down to 18TH. about four
points below the high Of the week.
Selling pressure on New York Cen
trail, Baltimore and Ohio and other
dividend rails resulted In moderate
losses in this section Of the market,
while oil stocks gave up the ground
gained in the first hour.

FIRE HAZARDS DUE
FOR BOARD ACTION
Questions Expected to Be

Prolonged discussion of the 5l pa ge
report of the fire marshal containing
several hundred recommendations for
the elimination of fire hazards in the
schools. made public by the District
Commissioners Wednesday, is prom
ised at the meeting of the Board OF
Education next Wednesday.
Charles r. Carusi, who has already
shown a keen interest in the fire
hazard situation in the local schools
a nd was the author OF board reso-
hition calling for semi.annual instead
of annual inspections by the iire mar
shall, is expected to take promirent
part in the discussion.
It is the conviction of the board
that there are no serious fire hazards
in the schools, but they intend 70

mendations of the fire marshal, which

for several years.
Heads List of Needs.
Correction of fire hazards is the
FIRST item on the list of five purposes
for which the District school repair
fund can be used. It was purposely
placed at the head OF the list in the
knowledge that a real fire hazard in
any school must not be tolerated
Whether fire escapes should be in
stalled in l6 old three e-story buildings,

or whether steel curtains should be
purchased for the Central and Dun

however that the Wednesday board
meeting will go a long way toward
settling il for all time.
Two bills just introduced in Con-
Cress. one by Senator Wesley Jones
of Washington and another by Rep
resentative Louis Cramton OF Michi-
gan, will be taken up at the board
meeting at the request of the District
Commissioners.
Urges Teaching Constitution.
Senator Jones bill would make
compulsory the teaching of the Con
stitution of the United States and the
study of and devotion to American
institutions and ideals in all public
schools and colleges in the District

vides that teachers must pass an eN-
animation on the Constitution before
they are appointed, and pupils must
pass such an examination before they
can be graduated. Failure on the part
of any teacher to teach the Constitu-
ton course would be grounds for dis.
missal under the terms Of the bill.
The bill would be effective after Sep
tember 20 next.
