TRADE MODERATE
IN BOND MARKET
Chesapeake Corp. 5s Active.
Hiqh-Grade Railroad Is
sues Are Strong.
BY CHARLES l.. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Speclal DiSpatch TO Tne star
NEW YORK, May 12.-There was
an absence of the spectacular in TO-
days bond market. Investment
bankers were still discussing the
high price paid yesterday for Sew
York City As and the unusual pre-
MUM to which the Chesapeake Cor
poration convertible SIS had advanced.
Dealings were more Moderate and
fluctuations smaller.
As market factor the city bond
sale has SO far been without infiu-
ence. Municipal bond prices today
were approximately the same as be-
fore. although the whole list has
shown stronger tone recently in an.
ticipation of the new mark to be set
for taX-exempt securities. 1t was
figured out that in the past 20 years
New York City has issued over ST.
000000,000. of which about 40 per
cent represents the financing since
December. 1921.
Chesapeake Corporation 5s Active.
The Chesapeake Corporation %
held most of yesterdays gain and
were small. Undoubtedly the days
advance in Erie issues, which
amounted to half point in the
junior mortgages and about points
in convertible "Ds," was influenced
by success of the Chesapeake offer
ing as we'll as by the steady rise in
Erie shares.
High grade railroad bonds were
strong and at new levels and the So.
called money renewal again was at
4A. The feature today was the ac-
cumulation of 4 per cent refunding
issues of the Northern Pacific. Balti.
@
Cago & Northwestern. Most of these
bonds are selling between a 4.40 and
4.30 basis. The standard per cent
first mortgages were quieter and un-
changed. United States Governments
were slightly higher, especially the
long Treasury issues. AS a result of
the failure of the local transit plan
and the open criticism of the present
price basis of traction securities con-
siderable activity i'm traction bonds
developed at lower levels. The Inter
boro Rapid Transit group dropped 4
to n. Third Avenue incomes about
the same. with heavy offerings of
Observation-Disclosures Transit 6s un.
der par. or over points below the
recent high for these bonds.
Some Utilities i'm Demand.
There was good demand for a
number of the second grade listed pub
lie utilities such as American Water
Works 5s, Northern Ohio Traction
& Light~6s and Utah Traction 5s. The
outside market for bonds of this
type had been very strong lately, espe-
cially for the long term debenturs
6s OF the leading holding companies.
This weeks offerings of new securi-
ties will. with one exception, be the
largest of the year. aggregatinS
around S225, 900 900. Nearly all of this
financing has been in behalf of domes-
tic corporations, whereas in previous
weeks foreign offerings had been Of

Historians Skip Many
Matters of Interest

An American history written in
the old-fashioned way would never
mention the rise of the motion pic
ture diversion. The kind of his
tories TO which we have been ace
customed don't appear TO be in the
least interested in the ordinary life
OF the people, which is as much
history as taking a fort or carry
ing an election, writer in the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat asserts.
Between wars there is almost
olank interregnum and-froln the
history-you would never know
that book had been written, a
picture painted or a machine in
vented. We once knew a school
history of the United States that
did not mention the coming Of The
railroad; but every Indian chief
tain from slassasoit TO Sitting Bull
was personalized.
These strange silences of formal
history leave us TO the historical
novels for our general Information
of the times-the clothing our an
cestors wore, their pastimes, their
religious faiths, their literature,
their customs and their modes of
thought.

Heaven as a Republic

DIR. James Madison, second cous-
in of the President of the United
States of that name, was elected
president of William and Mary col
iege when he was only twenty-eight
years old. 1t was necessary, be
fore he could assume office, to sus-
pend a statute requiring that the
head of the institution be not less
than thirty years old. The young
college president, who was or
daineG in The Episcopal ministry in
1878, was an ardent believer in the
republican form of government. 1t
is said that in his sermons he
never would speak of heaven as a
kingdom. He would always refer
to it as the great republic where
there is no distinction of rank, and
where all men are free and equal. I"

Week of Shakespeare.

THE announcement by the Shake.
speare Association of America that
il will present a season of the plays Of
Shakespeare at the Washington Audi.
torium, commencing Monday, Novem-
her 7, under the management of
George Ford, with Fritz Leiber as
the star. supported by a company
composed of actors of wide-experience,
should interest all lovers Of the
theater.
Fritz Leiber has long been a close
student of Shakespeare, and his bril-
liant rendition of the great Shake
spearean roles has met with ready ac-
ceptance by the reviewers, quick to
recognize genuine merit in those who
have the courage to strive for success
in the highest and most representa-
tive form Of legitimate drama.
Fritz Leiber adheres closely to ira
iition, but renders Shakespeare's char.
acters very human. and as easy TO
understand as those in a play OF the
day; he has simply followed out
Shakespeare's adHice to the players.
What was natural in Shakespeare's
day is not so today, and, as methods
Of acting have changed. it has be.
come necessary to modify the form
of presentation, but without in any
way affecting the value of the play.
The plays to be presented by the
Shakespeare Association Of America
are Hamlet" Macbeth" Romeo
and Juliet" Julius Caesar" 1.-THE
Tanning of the Shrew," Twelfth
Night" "The Merchant Of Venice"
and "Othello."

Always Discovering.

HOWEVER the storymaker and
IL players of the movies may ad-
vance in their art, the mechanical bees
of the movie industry, ever alert, seem
to be continually discovering some
thing new and remarkable.
The latest discovery by these elves,
said to be the most important since
David Wark Griffith discovered the
Closeup" is that incandescent lights.
such as are used for home and store
lighting, can be used in making pic
ture exteriors at night, thus supplant-
ing arc carbons, which have been used
since movies were first made.
The lights are Of the Mole-Richard-
son type perfected by the Paramount
electrical department after months of
search and experiment.
A setting more than a block long.
used for sequence In Emil Jannings'

Solitude for Poise.

MARY ALDEN has given the secret
4'A for acquiring perfect poise. She
ought to know for she has 1t at all
times I'm evidence.
81 learned 1t from well known
lawyer" said Miss Alden, "who told
me that, for an hour every day of
his life. he shuts himself UP alone
and reads poetry.
"It sounds q bit fantastic" Miss
Alden continued, "but I have grown
to believe more and more that soil
tude is the secret Of poise. II you
don't force yourself to be alone for
certain periods to regain your own
tempo, you will be swept along with
the crowd, and find yourself adjust
Ing yourself to the pace Of the mob,
which keeps you In a state Of con-
tinous discord."
