Asks Certain u. S.

Massacre in Mexico

New York, Aug. 8.-(P)-Arturo NJ
Elias, consul general of Mexico in
a statement issued today, asked If
it were the desire Of certain Catho-
lies in the United States who are
agitating against the arms embargo
to Mexico ito bring about another
massacre Of Saint Bartholomew s
Eve"
Manuel C. Teller, Mexican ambas-
sador to the United States, who ar
rived in Brooklyn last night on the
Ward Liner Mexico, said that the
present conflict between the Mexican
government and the Roman Catholic
Church lis of no concern to any
other nation"
This is 1dexico's affair and Mex

about agitation for intervention by
erty is far safer in Mexico than it

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL
and STOCK MARKETS

New York, Aug. s.-P)-A big
"bull movement" In the stock market
which carried the average Of 20
leading rails to the highest figure
since 1913 easily outshown all other
developments In this weeks financial
and commodity markets, while the
buying Of stocks undoubtedly receiv-
ed marked impetus from the publ
cation OF the famous Cochran in
terview." 1t also was Influenced by
the unusual mid summer expansion
of business, the publication Of a
series of remarkable industrial earn
ing statements, record-breaking
freight traffic and rail earnings and
continuance of easy credit conditions.
Bond prices showed only slight i'm
provement with new offerings, the
lowest of any week this year, ind1-
eating that the stock market was at
tracing both speculative and invest
ment funds.
Commodity prices were mixed.
Sugar prices pointed upward as re-
finers draw heavily on raw stocks,
due to the heavy demands of the cam
ming season. Wheat prices broke
sharply on the publication of an up
ward revision of Canadian crop es-
Inmates and better weather in GER
tain wheat growing sections. The
cotton market was quiet with prices
drifting lower, pending publication or
the government report next Monday.
The general average of commodity
prices, as shown by Dun's index
number Is now at the lowest level
in over two years.
A sharp rally In French francs
which carried them above the three
cent level for the first time in sew
oral months, reflected the progress
being made by the new Poincare
government in the rehabilitation OF
French finances. Other continental
rates improved in sympathy while
sterling exchange held relatively
firm. =.

i essary object at certain sea-
sons Of the year, but never very
slightly at any time, can be turned
to a useful purpose during the
summer months and at the same
time can be made to add far more
to the appearance of the room than
1t ever can when its grateful
warmth makes up for any lack Of
beauty.
A sheet Of polished plate glass
slipped into wooden brackets
grooved to fit the glass will make
a shelf which can be fastened to
the wall few inches above the ra-
diator top. A decorative cretonne
hung in front from rod fitted into
the same wooden brackets, and at
the sides tackled directly to the
wood, will completely disguise the
radiator until it is needed again
in the fall.
A bowl Of flowers, or growing
plants, and a pair of candlesticks
will complete the radiators sum-
mer Transformation. A cool and
pool-like effect will be given by the
lustrous sheen Of the plate glass.
The glass will prove strong enough
to bear any reasonable weight.
1t will not be marred by spilled
water, and it can easily be kept
clean with a damp cloth.
A mirror, hung on the wall
back of the radiator, will fur
Their brighten up the room and
add greatly to the pleasing eff
feet Of the arrangement as Q
whole.

Commissioners
Find Highways in
Splendid Condition

Commissioners Innes and Murray OF
the State Highway Commission, &C
companied by Chief Engineer Paul D.
Sargent and Bridge Engineer Edwards,
returned to their office at the State
House on Friday after an extended
trip through Hancock. Washington,
Aroostook and Penobscot counties.
Nearly 1000 miles of road were COW
cred during the trip and for the most
part the roads were found to be in
splendid condition. Twenty-Five miles
would cover all of the rough road en-
countered by the commission.
At Calais and at Millinocket hear
ings in response to petitions for the
designation of State highways from
Calais to Houlton and from Malta
wamkeag to Millinocllet were held. At

last year. The weeks figure Is the
lowest since the week ended August
2S, 1925. when offerings totalled So
100000.
Perhaps the most responsive group
during the week were the French
issues which showed considerable
strength as a result of renewed con-
fidence that material Improvement
will result from the financial re-
forms of Premier Poincare.
Although 1t is evident that inves-
tors are looking to better times in
France, besH informed bankers here
describe as premature reports during
the week that a loan to France from
private American interests of from
$10,000,000 to $150.000,000 was in
immediate prospect.
Domestic issues through the week
were without exceptional features.
Among the rails Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul bonds showed steady
life, probably in reflection of a feel
ing that the receivership for that
road is nearing an end and that it
will begin to show return on in
yestments.

Pedierees Worthless

The American visitors for whom it
is said the pedigree peddlers" are
lying in wait, can at any rate claim
that if some Of them are victimized
they are no worse off than thou
sands Of British families who have
not their excuse of innocence, says
1.-THE London Mall
What are pedigrees WORTH
Professor Freeman wrote. Il turn
over a 'peerage,' or any other book
of genealogy, and l find that, when
a pedigree processes to be traced
back to the times of which / know
most in detail. it is almost invariab-
ly false. The historical circum-
stances when introduced are for the
most part not merely fictitious but
exactly that kind of fiction which is,
in the beginning, deliberate, inter-
ested falsehood."
And no less scathing Is the asser-
ton of Mr.. Horace Round. probably
our greatest expert in genealogy:
The immense majority of the pedi-
grees in the landed gentry cannot be
characterized as otherwise than ut
terly worthless. The errors of the
peerage are as nothing to the fables
which we encounter everywhere"
If these statements are true, of
published pedigrees professedly bas-
ed on existing records. what can be
said Of the countless privately
treasured family trees, to the max
ing of which little or no expert
knowledge goes? Four out of five of
them are not worth the paper or
parchment they are written on, al
though they serve to bolster family
pride" In thousands of British homes.
Even in the College of Arms in the
archives of old families are pedi-
grees whose pretentiousness seems
unlimited.
Among them is one of family
which with daring hand traces its
descent through sixty seven genera
tons in the unbroken male line to
"Belinus, the Great King of Britain"
whose arms it pictures in defiance
of the fact that Belinus died long be-
fore heraldry was born. OF fam
lilies who claim descent from Charlie
magne without an iota of truth the
name is legion, and there are num-
Der of Welsh families who without
much trouble work their genealogic-
al way back score or more
centuries.
But even such pedigrees are con-
temptibly short compared with
others which have at their head no
other progenitor than Adam. At
Mostyn Hall there is a vellum roll
twenty-one feet long of pedigrees.
some of which are traced back to
Adam. son of God" without any
conscious sense of the incongruous
There is, too. in the College of Arms
a similar Welsh family tree which
begins boldly with Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden
