BROKERS URGE CAUTION.
Trend Into March
Now Held Likely.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK. February 1o.-Lead-
ing brokerage houses were not as op-
timistic as they had been the week
preceding concerning the immediate
future action of the general body of
stocks. One leading Broadway firm
took the view that subject to trad
ing rallies. the market indicates
downward trend into the early part of
March" and recommended the reduc-
ton of accounts substantially on raj
lies.
Two other houses, almost equally
as prominent. took a favorable view
toward numerous of the railway
stocks, especially the hard coal carry
ing roads. while another was of the
opinion that an early favorable an
nouncement concerning the Nickel
Plate merger could be looked for.

This, in a word. is giving the child too much adventure in one day. Re- member that each new color, each strange face. and scores of other things which an adult would not even notice. Is a real adventure for the child. While it at first amuses and en- tertains, 1t also takes is toll of ener- gv. An hour at a county fair is per- haps as tiring for the child as all day is for the adults. Most people will readily see the unacceptable logic ot this. But civilization. unto the end of time. will always have it's poo-pooers-- those who in the march of progress form the stragglers falling far behind.
 Like many of these so-called new fangled ideas, this has it's roots deep in the past Many of our grRndmoth- CTS expressed the same thing in a homely expression: "The best place for a child Is home" Today, we throw in a few neat little phrases, perhaps a medical term or two, sometimes n Greek or Latin word. but it all means the same-The best place for a child is home Abundant rest and quiet is essential to his well-being.

BOOK REVIEW
"sho~ Boat, By Edna erher

Mi Edna Ferber. whose "So. Big was one of the booksellers Of two years ago and which was awarded a Pulitzer prize. if we are not mis- taken, has come forward again with another novel of much the same fam fly. Miss Ferber has the shrewdness to write books that will sell. She chooses her backgrounds and her characters with care and she studies them well before she turns to her faithful typewriter and starts to work. The result is invariably story with a popular appeal, readable, inter esting if frequently faulty novel. But she is, through the many virtues of her productions. fully entitled to the large popularity which she enjoys as one of the leading and prolific Ameri- can writers She is probably con tent with her gains and will never tes. fortune with an attempt to rival Mrs. Wharton. Mrs. Deland or even tie faulty but frequently splendid Mrs Athertun.
 show Boat is a story of family in three generations who wander up and down the Mississippi River on a show boat" one of those floating theatres that provided crude but none the less welcome entertainment to the inhabitants of the river bank towns and bayous from St. Lotus to New Orleans Miss Ferber has utilized her gift for characterization and atmosphere to the utmost All through the first two-thirds of the book the. reader easily lives and sees and en- joys the life aboard the floating theatre. He knows the types of actors and he likes old Captain Hawks. even develops a sneaking admiration for his harridan of a wife. Parthenia Ann and learns Co know if not Ike the pathetic daughter. who is possi- blg the heroine of the story. As a matter Of fact the terrible virago, Par theHia, is the heroine. Just as in ''So Big" this ahastly old woman domi-D mates the book from cover tO cover. as did the fine stuff that was embodi- ed in "so Big" mother in the previ- ous novel.
