sbecial Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, February Under
Abe stimulating influence of yester-
days general recovery, the upward
movement was resumed on the Stock
Exchange today. That the recent sell
ing had gone a long way toward
strengthening the technical position,
and that a good deal of the current
recovery was due to the covering in
of short contracts, was evident by the
fact that after the demand had been
supplied the volume of business fell
off appreciably.
Further proof of the strengthened
position of the market was found i'll
the publication OF brokers' loans,
which for the third successive week
showed a substantial decline. So far
as the industrial situation was con-
cerned there was little in the outside
news which could have accounted for
any decided change in sentiment. 1t
was generally conceded that a good
sized short interest had been built up
and the market was thought to be en-
titled to further recovery from the
current level.
Merger Rails Features.
Low-priced merger rails continued
the feature of the railway group, with
Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred

prospect of definite action on the long
expected dividend at Wednesday,
meeting of directors. Pittsburgh and
West Virginia, in which the floating
supply is said to have been consider
ably reduced, had another of it's char
acteristic upturns and at one stage
was up almost 5 points. Denial by
the president of Standard Oil of New
Jersey that leading Standard Gil in
terests We're considering a reduction
at this time in Midcontinent crude
prices brought about some covering
at the outset. After this had been
completed, however, no attempt was
made to renew operations for the rise.
Houston Oil Again Strong.
Houston Oil again stood out
strongly, but the demand in this in
stance appeared TO be for special rea-
sons. Recent extension of pipe lines
by the company has resulted in in
creased runs and according to pres
ent estimates, earnings are at the
rate of $14 a share annually.
Announcement of plans for reor-
SANITATION of the Pullman Company
was followed by some selling, but
offerings were not pronounced. Cen
eral Motors again stood out strongly,
while others of the group moved for
ward moderately. This was true of
Hudson above Sc, Mack Trucks
above IS and Nash Motors, which
was carried across 66 again.
Colorado Fuel and Iron stood out
strongly among the Independent
steels, the buying based on expecta-
lions of early dividends. United
States Steel common continued to
move over a narrow range, but was
receiving good support at 157.

Politics Makes Strange
BedfelIOz0S

is there, where big money is, that
the bootlegger can sell his high
priced booze. In the city he reaps
his harvest of gold, builds up his
crime rings and makes his influence
dangerous. There he is fast buying
himself into political power and
hopes soon to be able to run the
country to suit himself.
Kansas had State prohibition for
many years before the nation went
dry. This innovation of hers was a
distinct success. But because Kansas
wants to be dry is no reason why
New York should be forced to do as
Kansas does.
No, this prohibition problem is a
much graVer thing than we give it
credit for being. In spite of the fact
that great sentiment is growing up
against it. allowing the people to
vote upon it, would but entrench it
the more firmly.
For this is one thing about which
the virtuous and the bad would agree
at the polls. Notwithstanding the
divergence of their reasons, the
w. c. r. L. worker and the boot
logger would mark their ballots just
the same.

NUDE SHADE
OF HOSIERY
PASSING OUT,
More Subtle Flesh Tones in
Stockings Are Taking
Place.
BY Mary Il. Farmer

Indianapolis hosiery dealers and
saleswomen and messages from Paris
and New York are all agreed that
the nude shade Of hosiery is going
the way Of all eXtremes-to the dis
card, and subtler flesh tones are taxi
ing the place. 1t does not mean
that the light shades are going, but
that the new stockings are giving
the impression of nudity without be.
ing too pronounced. In each color
and variation of grey and beige there
is an undertone Of rose. The filmy
stocking now most in demand re-
veals the flesh and rose blending
adds to that illusion.
The brilliant pink and nude are
very passe. they say, and the shades
of grey and ivory are extremely be-
coming. There is a grain shade with
a tint of the rose blending which is
most pleasing with a number OF the
shades for spring dresses. The
darker grey, gunmetal and black are
very good where patent and satin
slippers are worn.

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A statement put out by a Woman's
Christian Temperance Union leader
says that if the prohibition question
were submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie, we would keep the Volstead law.
A perfectly reasonable surlnise.
For surely this woman must know
that, in case such thing ever hap
pened, the most violent element in
the nation would vote with the pur-
est reformer.
Do we suppose for one instant that
the bootlegger would ever voluntar-
lily go back to local option? Would
the heads of these immense crime
rings in our great cities, which are
kept up by millions of dollars made
in illicit liquor traffic, give up their
fount of riches without a protest?
Would the grape grower, who can
now sell his product for ten times
what he once got, be willing to turn
down by his vote this source of
revenue?
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler points
out that the Eighteenth Amendment
should come out of the Constitution,
and that each State should be per-
mitted to regulate the matter to suit
itself. Surely sensible suggestion.
There is no doubt that prohibition
functions differently in the country
and the city. Where the small town
once had from five to ten open
saloons, it is now in q fairly pros
porous condition with men who were
once addicted to drink become re-
spectacle citizens.
On the other hand, the cities have
become very hotbeds of iniquity. 1t

New York'S Best Paid Bust
ness Woman Believes
Place in Home.
BY Virginia Swain
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, March 3.-The high
est-salaried woman in commercial
New York Is a woman who never
wanted to work.
Mrs. Blanche r. Green, whose
earnings as vice president of a cor
set company amounted 20 about
500 900 last year, admits that harsn
necessity and not an inherent zest
for business sent her into the ranks
of wage-earners fifteen years ago.
Doesn't Prate
Mrs. Green is one successful wom-
an who does not prate of women s
right to self-expression," the waste
of women's talents in the home
or the Liberation of women from
the kitchen range"
There was nothing she wanted less
than liberation FROM her kitchen
range when she got it. Born ana
bred in Virginia, where women are
ladies' and husbands are good pro-
viders, she expected to spend her
life in the housewifely arts her
mother taught her.
At IS she married and moved 10
New York State with her husband
Four wears later, when her daughter
was just learning to toddle, the nus
band met with an accident whlch
paralyzed him for life. He is still a
helpless invalid.
And so Mrs. Green took off her
apron and put on the blue serge suit
of business and went at it.
An interlude of farming on
Berkshire acreage proved that agri-
culture, without a man to boss the
lob. was not a success.
Mrs. Green brought her little fam
ily to Poughkeepsie, n. Y, intend
ing to find some way of making
living and eventually sent her daugh'
ter through Vassar College.
Without any business training and
without capital. she established a
corset shop in which women could be
fitted for tailor-made corsets. Mrs.
Green took courses in anatomy, stud
led sculpture and worked with doc
tors until she thought she knew the
ideal human figure, and also the
remedies for the defective figure.
She was then making a hundred
dollars a week in commissions. But
she wanted a wider field. So when
the corset firm that had been max
ing her garments offered her $25
week as a travelling saleswoman, she
took it and trusted Heaven to help
her pay the expenses Of her family.
Those first days 'on the road are
still a horrible memory she says.
IF YOU think a travelling salesman
has a hard life, consider the travel
ing saleswoman, especially of fifteen
years ago.
"She had very few colleagues.
Business men were not cordial to
women drummers. The discomforts
of train and hotel life are harder on
a woman of fastidious taste than on
the average travelling man.
$50 sheltered had my life been
that when I started on the road ]
had never before slept in a Pullman.
During our four years in the Berk-
/ shires 1 had seen a train only
/ twice."
But in spite of discoura gements,
worries about the sick husband and
the little daughter at home. and the
loneliness of travel, Mrs. Green be-
gan to get results. With her work,
the prosperity of the small firm she
represented increased.
A few years ago she was made
vice president of the company, in
authority over nearly 5000 en-
ployes, men and women.
The fifteenth anniversary OF her
entrance into the work brought the
