BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. IA distinctly
stronger tone in the railroad division
featured the early dealings on the
stock market today. Atchison
scared 31s points to 1876, and other
issues of the group followed 81A
points advance scored by Canadian
Pacific, Wednesday.
Canadian Pacific today sold at
206, which allowing for the dividend
taken off today of $3.50, indicates
net advance of III points.
Curtiss Aero Spurts
Curtiss Aero spurted nearly 2
points to 5315, a new record high.
Radio Corporation was active at
1O1, up IL, and a new record high.
United States Steel opened at 146,
off Y, and then dropped back to
14515. General Motors opened Il
higher at 1904, and then fell back
to 1885. Montgomery Ward de-
clined a point to ITO.
Selling at Noon
Further heavy selling took place
in various sections of the industrial
list around noon due to heavy with
drawals by banks wishing to
strengthen their weekend bal
ances. This caused the bank rate
to stiffen to Az per cent.
Professionals attacked the list on
the higher call rate. However, the
drive in the industrial department
was prevented from gaining head
way by diversion of activity into the
rails. Atchison advanced 315 to 1876.

/ With the possible exception OF
4 Utah, there isn't state in the Union
the name of which has not been abb
ibreviated; and some Of them have
been docked apparently without
Thyme or reason" Even Iowa. one
of the three states with the shortest
names, is commonly written with its
@'ow'' left out. In the shrinkage pro-
cess there appears to have been no
regular rule, though in many cases
the first syllable is used and in some
the first and last letters.
Miss, Mass, Conn, Mont. and
Tenn. are instances of first sylla-
BILE plan, while Ga, Ia, Me-, Vt, Pa.
and Va. are first and last letter alb
breviations. Ohio couldn't very well
adopt the two "o's'' with which it
begins and ends. and so one big 90"
is used. Missouri is one of the de-
partures. 1t cannot be Miss. because
of Mississippi, but having missed be-
coming Miss. it did not follow the
apparent alternative. Instead. that
is, of taking for its abbreviated
name Mi, its first and last letters,
bit pried one out of the middle and
became Mo
And so the abbreviation of the
names of the states furnishes some
interesting conjectures, and one
wonders why, away back in the days
when the abbreviation process was
more popular than it is now, it seem
ed so necessary to commit assault
