RAILS TAKE LEAD
ON STOCK MARKET
Brokers' Loans News Falls
Flat and Bears Have
Best of Trading.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. February 24.-Railroad
shares assumed the leadership In tOday's
stock market. There was a period OF
hesitation at the start and heavy SELL
ing in the industrials but when this
had been absorbed the market turned
dull and then suddenly buying orders
in the rails made their appearance IN
volume and all that part of the list
moved forward briskly.
As market influence the decrease In
brokers loans of some $9l 100000 an
nounced after the close on the day be.
fore. although larger than expected, fell
fiat. The first effect was to produce
further LIQUIDATION, principally In the
volatile specialties.
Rails Favor Unexplained.
For the fresh favor accorded to the
rails there was no universally accepted
explanation. The last weekly state
ment of car loadings had made an un-
favorable comparison with the same
ary earnings statements were available
for study. and these showed mixed re-
suits. Wabash, for instance, which was
one of the leaders today. had reported
an increase in net over 1927. but gross
was down, and even the net was lower
than in January. 1926. Wabash. cross
ing go. was up 5 points from the pre-
ceding close and very active. Kansas
City Southern and st. LOUIS Southwest
ern followed along, and so did Missouri
Kansas Texas This led to the suppo-
sition that some new development in
the Loree merger plans was pending
The strength, however. was not con-
fined to stocks of any one system or
combination Even the shares Of tn.
Southern roads which had been under
such severe pressure Thursday, rallied.
while New York Central. Union Pacific.
Reading and Delaware & Hudson we're
all IN active demand. The last named
was up 3 points, at 1863. Texas & Paci-
fic jumped a point between sales. Rock
Francisco.
Industrials Are Irregular.
The market for the industrial lead
ers continued irregular. United States
Steel was under pressure below 140.
General Motors started in higher. but
failed TO hold the gain. There were
rapid fluctuations in such stocks as
Greene Cananea. Vanadium. Interna-
tional Nickel, Freeport Texas and VIC
sor Talking Machine. For while all
these stocks were in supply. but when
the rails turned so strong there was a
moderate recovery in the lndustrials.
Montana Power was still the feature
Of the utility group. II pushed ahead
into new high ground on the movement,
as 1t touched 1854 Apparently the spec
tacular rise earlier in the week had
not weakened the technical position.
The market turned very dull in the
afternoon. Railroad shares eased Oft
from their carly forenoon high, while
the industrials fluctuated idly without
discernible trend. General Motors
ranged fractionally higher. Steel vas
heavy and short covering in certain
issues was balanced by liquidation in
others. Wright Aeronautical was one
OF the weak stocks Hudson Motors
came down from the days high. but
Nash was Arm

FOURTH BOOK sfhe OLD TESTAMENT

The Book of Numbers is the fourth of
the books of the Pentateuch. In it's pres
ent form it is the result of compilation
of earlier writings.
The book was given it's title because of
it's accounting of the numbering of the
children of Israel. It tells of the wander
ings of the people from the second to
the fortieth year; of the survey of Canaan
and the refusal to enter the land; of the
march back to the wilderness and various
rebellions. The more important events of
the fortieth year of wandering are given
in detail These include the death of
Aaron and the conquest of the land of the
Amorites and of Bashan, the slaughter
of the Midianites and the settlement east
of the Jordan.
In the book, in addition to the historical
sections, are legal codes and poetic frag-
ments.

Republican Women Strive to Gust
Democratic Sisters From Spotlight
School of Politics Re-
vived; Mrs. Curtis Now
Forming Hoover for
President" Committee

At last a stirring of activ-
ity among the Republican
women Of Washington! For
long months whenever there
has been anything doing
among our petticoated poll
ticians, it has been engi-
neered by the women of that
lively organization, the Wo-
mans National Democratic
Club. But now the Repub-
lican women are forming
Hoover for President Com
mittee" under the leadership
of Mrs. James F. Curtis and
are establishing headquar-
tiers at the Willard.
Mrs. Curtis in Command
With the energetic and en-
thusiastic Mrs. Jimmie" Curtis
in command, the new group is
sure to be heard from. She has
a flair for organization, and has
had lot Of political experience,
working with the Women's Re-
publican Club in New York and
for the Republican national COM
mittee.
Varied Activities
Just about this time last year
Mrs. Curtis was announcing her
candidacy for the post of Dis
trict Commissioner. She didn't
get the. job and really hadn't
expected that she would. But
a woman, Miss Mabel T. Board
man, once had held it and she
thought it was time that it
should go to q woman again.
Since that time Mrs. Curtis has
put on the most successful char.
ity ball ever given in Washing
ton. And she has established
shop, Chez Curtis, which is
a successful business venture
and in the management of which
she is assisted by Mrs. Morris
Crumpacker, widow of Repre-
sentative Crumpacker.
She staged an exhibition and
sale Of pretty things from Chez
Curtis at Aiken, s. c., where
she has a house, and found time
to play around there for a few
weeks. And now she has gone
to Boston to see her brother
William Merriam who is Ill,
and to visit a sister, Mrs. J.. 7.
Wheelwright. She expects to go
back to Aiken later in the spring
after she has seen the Hoover
women's committee well launched.
School Of Politics
Then, under the leadership Of
Mrs. Virginia White Speel, pres
ident OF the League Of Republican
Women of the District of Column
bia, the league will open its third
school of politics at the willard
on Monday, its sessions beginning
at 10 o'clock.
The course will last week, the
purpose Of the school being to bet
ter inform women of the policies
of the Republican party, the prob
lens of the Government and the
issues of today. 1t viii serve as a
training center for women from
all over the country, who desire
to prepare for participation in the
coming presidential campaign.
Mrs. Frank w. Mondell, chair
man of the program committee,
has been working like a Trojan
and has mapped out compre-
hensive course covering all
phases of Republican govern
mental policies. Both men and
women prominent in the Repub-
ican party will speak during the
week. There will be three ses-
sions a day. at 10 a. m, 2:15 p. m.
and $50 p. m. Registration may
be made at the headquarters Of
the league, 823 Fifteenth st.

Cutting a Pencil
With a Dollar Bill

A VERY clever trick for the
"A amateur magician il the feat
Of cutting a lead pencil in two
with a dollar bill. For this hit Of
magic the conjurer borows n new
lead pencil and a dollar bill.
He requests some one in his
audience 10 grasp the pencil ~
each end and hold it firmly in beth
hands. Then the magician rivea
the pencil several sharp blows VIII
the folded dollar bill and the Enec-
tators are surprised to a Ira
pencil cut In halves. The seerat
of the trick is this:
A. the conjurer strikes the naneiI
with the dollar bill he secretIv
places his finger along the Bill No
that with the next blow. which IN
given with greater force. the
pencil is cut" To the nudierre
II appears that the pencil IA actual
ly cut by the folded dollar bin.
Much practice, Of course. IN tha
part Of the magician il neceEaarv
