Chief of Police Oswalt has told
the local representative of the Au-
tomobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA that he is cooperating with
Frank G. Shook of the Division of
Motor Vehicles and with the Cali
fornia Public Safety Conference in
the war upon Illegal lights on motor
vehicles. Chief Oswalt points out
that when lights are required there
must be two headlights; one shead-
light and one spotlight are not suf-
ficicnt. He also emphasizes the ne
ccssity for clearance lights upon
commercial vehicles which have a
body or load in excess of so inches
in width Two such lights must be
displayed on the left side of the
vehicle, one at the front showing
white light, visible 800 feet ahead,
and one at the rear showing a green
or red light visible 500 feet back.
Many accidents happen because
trucks do not carry these clearance
lights and because they do not dis
play red lights at the rear. Chief
Oswalt saws: " | intend to prevent
as many accidents as possible in my
district by requiring trucks to dis
play proper red lights and clearance

FINANCIAL
REVIEW

New York, Feb. 26--LP)---A forward
movement in the industrials, which
carried the average. of 20 leading
issues to the highest level on record,
coincident with u lowering Of money
rates, was the most significant
development in this weeks financial
markets. Railroad shares lost ground
but this was regarded as a natural
development in view Of the recent
rapid advance in those issues.
Expansion Of steel mill operations
and an agreement to curtail crude
oil production in the Seminole field
were two Of the most important trade
developments. Outside the market,
chief interest conferred in the presi-
Dental veto Of the McNary-Haugen
bill and the disquicting developments
in China, neither OF which had much
influence on securities markets.
L. S. Steel common moved up to
IA new record high at lC2as and
held fairly close to that figure, fol
lowing announcement that mill opera
tiOns were above 80 per cent of capa-
city. A further softening of steel
prices in the middle of the week was
followed by stiffening of pig iron
prices in the Cleveland district as
the week closed.
Despite uneasiness created by
sweeping crude cuts and the gasO-
line price reductions which followed,
oil shares displayed firm undcrtone.
Motors also receivd good support in
the face of unconfirmed rumors Of
price cuts and large unemployment
in Detroit and other automobile
centers. Public utility and electrical
shares were helped by the federal
trade commission report in the Cen
ernl Electric case. Baldwin crossed
200 to new record high but sold
five points or SO below that level
on realizing.

BUTTER
MARKET

Chicago. Feb. 26.-LPs-The prin-
cipal butter markets closed last
week in firm position but the week
under review opened irregularly with
the tone easy at Chicago and Phila-
delphia, and firm at New York and
Boston. Trading has lacked the snap
necessary to maintain firm markets
since buyers were restricting pur-
chascs to current requirements.
Medium and lower grades have
been in light supply and closely
cleared on all markets under q fair
demand. Supplies Of the higher scor-
ing butter have not been particularly
burdensome but at times did not find
a ready sale and dealers because
free sellers with the result that
prices worked lower at the close Of
the week and the market ruled nerve
Gus and unsettled.
Receipts the first half of the week
were below those Of last week but
exceeded receipts during the corre-
spending week last year.
