NEW YORK, April 21.-"Democrats

Gov. Smith viii not do, and Mr..

This is the opinion of Mekedith
Nicholson. eminent author and an
ardent Democrat, who, in the May
number of Century magazine, makes
an appeal to his party to avert
repetition of the ith-McAdoo dead
lock of 1924 in the 1928 convention,
possibility which he sees as imminent.
AS a veteran political observer In
Indiana. his home State, Mr.. Nichol-
son declares that "in the Middlewest,
at least, the Democratic party
workers, men and women, have no
great interest in either Gov. Smith or
Mr. McAdoo.
what loyal Democrats everywhere
demand is harmony" he says. The
morale of the party must be restored.
To permit either religious question
or a moral question--if prohibition
NAV be called a moral question-to
become the paramount issue is an
alternative that cannot be viewed with
equanimity.
Gov. Smith, by combining both
issues in his own person, would arouse
a bit er hostility never encountered
by other presidential candidate. If
nominated, Mr.. McAdoo, with the en-
sforcement of the Nolstead law the
chief issue in his campaign, would
find himself leading an enfeebled
legion to certain slaughter"

DRAWS NEW TRAFFIC
RULE FOR MERCHANTS
Corporation Counsel Would Give
Business Houses and Public
Equal Advantages.

Preparation of new traffic regula,
ton governing the use of shipping
entrances in front OF bushes establish
ments was started today by Corpora
ton Counsel Francis II. stephens in
accordance with the recent direction
Of the District Commissioners.
While the exact text of the new
regulation has not been written, Mr.
stephens indicated that it would fol-
low closely the suggestion OF the Mer-
chants & Manufacturers Association.
The old regulation was held invalid
in recent opinion of the corpora.
tion counsel, because it gave exclu-
sive privileges to the business houses.
The new regulation will be designed to
give the merchants and the public
Identical privileges, by providing that
shipping entrance reservations shall
be used only for the loading and un-
loading of merchandise and passen-
gers,
Such regulation, Mr.. Stephens ex-
planned, win prevent both merchants
and motorists from using the shipping
entrance spaces for the parking of
vehicles and will be devoid entirely of
the discriminatory features of the ex-
listing regulation.

ket, but major price movements were
on the upside Covering operations,
following a week of declining prices
together with the activity Of pools in
number of specialties, provided most
of the buying power. Outside the
market, chief interest centered in the
early rise of SIS a bale in cotton prices,
nearly all of which was lost later in
the day, and the crossing of parity by
sterling exchange for, the first time
since the summer of 1926.
There was little in the days busi-
ness and financial news to influence
the price movement The increase of
nearly $34,500,OO0 in broker loans last
week was smaller than expected, due
to the heavy conversion of General
Motors stocks and failed to have any
effect on the money market, the 4
per cent renewal rate for call funds
being continued over the week end.
The weekly mercantile reviews en-
phaSize the stimulus to retail trade
given by the cooler weather and the
opening of schools, but otherwise re-
port little change in the general buSi-
ness situation. Directors of the Nash
Motors company made public an eX-
cellent earnings statement and declar-
ed an extra dividend of SO cents, which
was reflected in an advance of more
than points in the stock to a new
high record at 93%. General Motors

The rise in cotton was based on

by unfavorable reports from foreign
crop centers and better undertone

vanced IL to Is points, but sugar prices
were practically unchanged.
Outside of the establishment of
parity by sterling, the principal devel-

Lyons Perfect styIist

Pitcher Ted Lyons of the Chicago
White Sox is, to me, the greatest
stylist in the game.
Not only is Lyons the perfect styllst
but he is as effective a tWlrler as
there is in the majors.
Lyons leaves nothing to be desired
in perfect rhythm, unusual grace and
a world of stuff. He is just about
the last word in the art of pitching.
AS Bobby Jones goes about his golt
in a workmanlike manner that makes
his brilliant performance seem al
most automatic, so perfect are his
precision and style. so does Ted
Lyons go through the pitching mo-
tions.
The career of Ted Lyons i'll base
ball feads like a fiction plot Tor a
baseball thriller. Back in 1923 Ray
Schalk, during the spring training
trip of the Chicago White SoX in
Texas, saw Lyons pitching for Baylor
university. He was impressed, sc'
mulch so that in street clothes. he
donned a catcher's glove and worked
out with Lyons for about ten minutes,
That evening Lyons was signed to a
Chicago contract.
