prices resumed their upward move

a much slower pace with the ebbing
of public and professional interest in
the markets activities. Transactions
ran at the rate of less than 100000
shares an hour, the smallest in sew

Growing confidence in the ability
of the new Poincare government to
whether the financial storm in
France, coupled with the steady i'm
provement in the European ex-
changes, eliminated one of the chief
causes of recent uneasiness on the
part of the financial community. At
the same time, domestic conditions
continued to improve, both from the
standpoint Of earnings and industrial
operations,
Revival of buying activity in the
railroad shares followed the signs of
progress in completing consolidation
plans and the publication of addi-

FILIAL PIETY IN KOREA

THERE is still one place at
4 least where filial devotion
is part of the boys training.
This is the little peninsula OF
Korea. or Chosen, as it is called
there. The devotion Of the
Korean boy TO his father is most
striking. His affection is always
very great. and, what is even
finer and more to be admired, 1t
is always sincere.
His conduct toward his father
is guided by great number of
rules. He must never leave his
fathers side for very long, no
matter what the provocation. II
the father is i'll his son must give
up every moment of his time to
his care; II he is in prison his
son must take up his abode near
at hand and visit him constant
ly; If he is exiled his son must
share that exile. If his son meets
him in the street or even in the
privacy of his house he must bow
to the ground before him. Ii he
writes to him he must employ
the humblest and most respect
full terms in the language.
