1.-THE students enroll because they
have a real desire to learn" Merwine
says. "A person I'm the class who does
not apply himself soon finds his sur
roundings uncomfortable and some
what in shame drops out. For those
willing to work, however, there is
the utmost cooperation"
To meet expenses the school charges
tuition of $50 year, but this is as
sessed at the convenience of the stu
dents, some paying in monthly INSTALL
ments and others waiting until gradua-
ton.
Dean Merwine was born in Ohio IN
1861. He worked his way. through
Ohio Northern university at Ada and
later practiced law at Columbus in
partnership with Charles W. Allison,
a first cousin of President Mckinley.

The school had its beginning several

Spider Is Called
q Harmless Fellow

Gainesville. FLAG. B. Merrill, as
sistant entomologist Of the Florida
state plant board. can't understand
why people think spiders are poison
Gus.
Maybe it's because they look that
way.
Anyhow, they're wrong. Merrill
says those familiar with the facts
know the only spider considered dan
gerous is the half-inch long, Jet black
fellow with a reddish mark shaped
like an hour glass on the under side
Of his abdomen. He may have lot
of other tricks, too, If anyone wants
to stop long enough to see. His home
is outdoors, usually under loosely

New York, March 10-OF-The
sensational advance in General
Motors, Radio and other speculative
issues, which has been under way
for about week, was finally checked
in the last hour Of trading by the
enormous volume Of profit-taking

amazing outburst Of strength at the

score issues, includin most of the
pool favorites, to new high ground.
The days sales set q new Saturday

General Motors, after attaining a
new record high at 161, fell back to
1856, or nearly 4 points below last

close and u. S. Steel common, Con-
solidated Gas, American Can, U. S.

trials to within one.fifth Of . point
of the record high level for all time,
established on the first trading day
Of this year, overshadowed all other

ing sessions to 150 3-4 which repre-
sents an appreciation Of more than
$3.50, OOO, 900 in the market value OF

When the advance began the buying

it also developed that the Managers
Securities Co., owned by General
Motors executives, had purchased
zoo, 900 shares Of stock in the open
market for $30,00O,00O in cash, or
about $50 share. This announce
ment was primarily responsible for
the sharp run-up Of more than nine

than four points yesterday to LAG.

products preferred, Montgomery
Ward, Gold Dust, and Vanadium
Steel, which were the targets Of
bear attacks last month, also made
spirited recoveries from their re-
cent low levels.
The further falling off in freight
car traffic was reflected in the
sluggishness Of the railroad shares.
Public Utilities stocks responded to
reports Of expanding earnings. A
revival Of activity and strength in
the oil shares followed the decision
Of the California producers to cur
tail production, and another In
crease in the price of export gaso-
line.
Rubber shares broke to new low
levels for the year in sympathy
with the collapse in Crude Rubber
prices to the lowest level since 1924.
The break in rubber followed the
announcement that the trade in

Of the Stevenson plan, restricting

Chicago, March 10.-R-Active

the corn market resulted largely
from bcarish views expressed by 9
