Search for Lost Link
The search for Darwin's missing
link will be carried out in many
parts of the world. In England and
Scotland, excavations Of fossilized
remains will be made while other
scientists will concentrate upon the
same subject in France, Germany
and along the Mediterranean coast

similar search along the northwest

HEAVY SELLING
F OLLOWS STOCK
MARKET BREAK
(By the Associated Press)

Total stock sales, $4,000 shares.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-03-06

NEW YORK, March 5 (P.-The re-
action in stock prices, which had been
underway two days, was extended to-
day when heavy selling again took
place for both accounts
Apart from second cut in crude oil
prices, there was nothing in the days
news to explain the selling, which ap-
peared to be further correction of an
obviously top-heavy speculative posi-
tion built up in the recent rapid adj
vance. Total sales fell just short of
95O,OOO Bear selling was conducted
on the theory that practically all of
the good news which the upward
movement was discounting was out of
the way, and that some new and i'm
portant constructive development was
necessary before, sufficient .bullish en-
thusiasm could be created to resume
the general upward swing.
Most observers agree that trend of
: business is the key to the future move
ment of security prices, so that close
tattention is beingsp paid to the so-called
business barometersi'' The excuse that
yesterdays selling was based on the
fear of an extra session of congress
proved groundless when seemingly of
ficial assurance that no such action
was contemplated by President Cool
idge passed unnoticed as market fac
tor.
Today's selling converged largely on
the motors, motor accessories and spe-
cialties in which prospects for 1927
earnings are not as favorable as they
were last year. Timken Roller Bear
ing broke over 5 points to 83%, but
recovered half it's loss on selling at

velopment of complications regarding
the company's roller bearing apparatus

Truck, Stewart Warner and White de-
clined a point or so.

can Smelling and international Com
bustion all sold down a point or so. On
small dealings, recessions of points
or more were recorded by Adams Ex-
press, American Republics, American
Type Foundry, Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburgh, Chicago & Northwestern,

Houston Oil scared over 10 points to
1879, closing within a point of the
top; Reynolds Tobacco B. jumped near
ly 6 points to 110 and then backed
down to 107% and Atlantic Refining,
Kelly Springfield, common; S. H. Kress
and National Surety advanced points
or more. Considerable arbitrating was
reported between Remington Type7I
writer stock and certificates of deposit
for the same security in the Reming-
ton-Rand, Inc, merger, when half
point spread developed between the
two floor traders sold certificates of
deposit and bought the stock. Because
of the large volume of stock deposited
under the plan, a broadening market
is expected for the certificates.

nation of flying weather over the ocean"
 A low ceiling is one of the most dangerous conditions confronting a pilot in land or ocean flying. Lieut. Davis finds. Ceiling is the aviator's term. generally speaking for the maximum height which prevailing atmospheric conditions will permit his plane to attain the maximum altitude of clear flying air. Heavy clouds and foi close down to cause low ceiling
 My personal opinion is that several of the missing flyers in the nn's fight were lost trying U climb out of fog" he says. "Ths Woolaroc flew at 6,000 feet ovei fog most of the way, in perfect flying weather, with the exception of a few squalls.
 Flying in fog, pilot may easi ly lose all sense of balance anf direction. The natural inclination is to climb out of it. and before one realizes it the plane may DC lifted too sharply and go into 8 spin. It takes nearly a thousand feet to recover and if a flyer J. close to the sea, he has no chance
 "The pilot and the navigator ars entirely dependent upon instru ments. If the lights go out on ths instrument board, they are in dangerous predicament."
 The radio beacon, he believes is one of the most important recent developments. Extremel. accurate, the beacon indicates f true course never exceeding 2 miles in width. If the plane veer, to the right or left, the radio mes sage changes it's form and ths flyer is warned of the wron direction in which he is travelling

snaent from the floor had subsided, John P. Frey, secretary of the } metal trades department of the federation, laid before the dele gates the basic wage policy of the organization.
 Depends on Prcduction
 Centering his talk. almost, who'll ly around the stepping up of pro duction through use of machinery, ssMr. Frey struck the keynote of --the wage policy of the federation in these words:
 Workers wages must keep pace with their increasing powe- CTS of production.
 as He declared the United States ,, was the most prosperous country ,iips the world, both as to gold in vaults and commodity production, but wages, he said, had not kept pace with the workers powers to produce. The question, he said, was whether wages are adequate fDfs the economic protection Of the cauntry at large. He extended the hand of cooperation to the farmers of the country. .----~ Situation Has Reversed
 At the close of the Civil War, he said, Topper cent of the work ing people were agriculturists, feed ing themselves and the remaining 4 90. per cent; now that percentage has reversed itself until only 30 per cent are agriculturists. feed ing themselves and the ramaining 70 per cent. Farmers are trying through legislation to help their conditions, he said, but eff they don't attempt to solve their prob lems like we are doing laws and politics will not help them"
 Discussing the coal industry, he said workers of America were cited with the lower wage of old country miners. But, he said that if production were taken into con Alteration Americas miners were making more than their foreign brethren.
