As for Saturday evening we start ed the evenings activities by listen ing to WTIC, Hartford, and the Colt Municipal dance orchestra. It wasn't the first program we heard, but it was the first one We listened to con- sistently. if you get what we mean. Somehow or other, that orchestra doesn't sound as well as it should. There is not the volume which should accompany an organization of it's size, it seems to us. But, no matter, reception was good, as it should be. and we listened to Reaching For the Moon," Bundle of Love-" and Lets Grow Old To- gether." The orchestrations were rather ordinary, but no matter, either.

STOCKS ACTIVE,

NEW YORK, March 30.-Stock
prices were irregular in an active
and excited market in the first two
hours today, as professional traders
hurriedly bought stocks to cover
their shorts, while new weak
spots" were disclosed in other Sec
lions OF the market The result
was g. sharp advance in the specu-
lative leaders like United States
Steel, General Electric and the
motors, while new declines were
inaugurated in Ludlum Steel, Hous-
ton Oil and many of the specialties.
General Electric recovered z
points in the first half hour; Hud-
SON Motors 2, and United States
Steel 1. Allied Chemical ran for
ward nearly 4 points and the
baking stocks made a better show
ing; with oil stocks slowly creeping
into the higher price levels near
the endNof the first hour. Ameri-
can Can also recovered 2 points and
sold at Az following announce
ment that the stock had been
placed on q 50 annual dividend
basis.
Liquidation of. Industrial stocks

for the time being at least and
selling pressure on the market
leaders was considerably relaxed
after the first hour. This was most
apparent in the better grade or

houses reported q considerable
volume OF investment buying.
Atchison, New York Central and
others Of the dividend rails en-
joyed a moderate rally, as also
did the mercantile stocks. under
the lead OF Sears, Roebuck and
Woolworth. Rubber and tire stocks
were on the mend and selling

was not logical to look for any

PROPOSED c. & o. BOND
ISSUE DENIAL EXPLAINED

The recent action OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission in re-
fusing to authorize the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad to issue SIC, 621,-
900 Of first lien and improvement
2O-year mortgage bonds, was due
to the fact that such issuance was
not necessary and appropriate for
the proper performance Of service
as a common carrier" the COM
mission formally announced today.
The road wanted to use $6,671 900
OF the bonds in acquiring the Sandy
Valley and Elkhorn railroad in
West Virginia, and the remainder
for expenditures for additions and
betterments. The fact that the
Chesapeake and Ohio was to form
q part Of the proposed Nickel Plate
merger was cited by the road as
another reason for Complaining adj
ditions and betterments." That
necessity was obviated by the action
of the commission in denying the
Van Sweringen merger proposal.

Within a short time the Treasury

Of Washington.
This is a procedure required by
law and results in the publication
of figures and statistics indicating
the condition of the several insti-
futions upon the date named In

While the ordinary fluctuations

Ing.
Between January 1, 1919, and
January 1, 1926, the savings banks
OF New York State increased their
loans on real estate mortgages 112
per cent. Seven years ago these
banks had 1875 per cent OF their
assets in mortgage loans.
To-day a large part OF them
have reached the legal limit Of 20
per cent Of their assets loaned on
mortgage security.
'In Massachusetts during the
period from 1915 to 1926, the
mutual savings banks increased
their mortgage loans in an amount
equal to two-thirds Of their in
creased deposits during the period.
''In Connecticut the mutual saw
ings banks have 49.5 per cent OF
their funds invested In mortgage
security; in New Jersey 45.S per
cent.
/ This money not only helps
finance large building operations, but
it is being made use of to help the
individual home-owner.
Statistics compiled by the saw.

show that in 1924 the average of
mortgage loans carried by the saw.

In some OF the boroughs Of New

Investigation Of the entire coun.

HIGH TEMPER AND PIsToEs

j q ssT.S &
The greatest menace to society today IS the
combination formed by an uncontroilable temper
and pistol, revolver, anything usually referred
to as at'gat" or 'gun." ws
In paroxysm Of rage a shot is fired; life
is snuffed out; and human ebeing~ becomes a
murderer. The shame and sorrow that the tragedy
brings to hearts innocent Of crime add the more to
the pity of the picture.
high temper is often hereditary and may be
difficult to control under stress of extreme tests
But pistol is at this day and time the most use
less thing made in America. About the only
thing pistol is good for is to get into trouble
There but few instances Of record where a
pistol has been effective as . means of defense.
There are thousands and thousands of men
behind prison bars with the ignominous brand of
Cain upon their brows. who would be free and per-
haps honorable men today had it NOT been for the
ever ready pistol.
Arthur Baker would not now be facing a
lifetime Of hard labor in the state prison if he
hadn't had pistol handy on recent Sunday aft
ternoon He would have been as free today as
hewas up tosthe tiEne Of tbestragedy, if he hadn't
had pistol.
When one man kills another in a fit of rage
he would not have done for all the world had he
taken time too "eool off, before firing the fatal
shot.
Not every one can control his temper in ex-
IRENE tests. but any man, while perfectly at him
self can walk eoolly and deliberately up to the
waterfront and throw his revolver overheard at
the deepest place he knows Of.
