SPECULATION HITS
 MARKET ONCE MORE
General Motors Climbs To Still
 Higher Mark

New York, March % 1P-Specula- ton for the advance ran rampant again in today's stock market. Gen erai Motors, with gain of H. points at a new top price of 1a71.. retained the leadership of the bull" movement which broadened out to include the railroad shares. Trading continued at terrific pace, total sales in the first three hours run ming close 10 2.50o.o00 shares.
 There was little in the days news to influence the price movement of securities, The brisk rise in motors apparently was in further reflection 0 fthe optimistic Raskob statement last week, Other automoliyo shares advanced in sympathy, Packard, Rupp, Murray. Briggs. Eaton AXel. Electric Storage Battery and Reyn- olds Spring all moving into new high ground. Buying of Hudson and Hupp was ccompanied by uncon- frmed rumors of stock dividends.
 Heavy accumulation of the rails probably was due in part to commits sion house advices suggesting switching of commitments from the industriais Revived rumors Of a higher dividend this year accom- panied the rise in New York Central which crossed l15 for the first time in its history. Lackawanna. Wabash and Lehigh Valley showed early gains of 3 joints each.
 Some !rregularity developed among the specialties. Sharp gains in American Power & Light, Lambert, Montgomery Ward. Sears Roebuck, International Nickel and National Cash Register were offset by the weakness of L. s. Cast Iron Pipe Victor Talking Machine convertible preferred and Adams Express.
 Spectacular gains also were re- corded by several bank stocks as buying influenced by recent capital changes and talk Of new mergers.

Health Hints
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBElN

Medical Association and Of H.-

In New Foundland the inhabit-
ants live OIL what they can get out
Of the sea. Agriculture is scanty.
and cattle are difficult to house and
feed during the winter.
DIR. w. Il. Ackroyd. analyzing
the diet OF the Observation-Disclosures
finds the people living ON foods
that correspond largely to the sup
ply of ship for long voyage;
namely. ship biscuits. barreled
salt pork and oleomargarine. TO
this may be added white flour.
molasses. small amounts OF ptota-
| toes, cabbages and turnips. Dur
! ing the summer occasionally fresh
fish. eggs and poultry may be
eaten. but the fish. which is the
only plentiful fresh food. is usu-
ally sold.
AS might be expected the New
! foundIanders suffer largely on

Honesty Should
Be Foundation
All Children Must Learn to
Respect 1t.

A child should be taught truth
from his earliest years. Truth OF
word truth of action truth of every.
thing.
In the new era when all the
world seems topsy furry. there
seems to me to be only one hope,
if civilization is to survive. That
is to teach children the facts of
truth as We know them
If child has basic idea OF
truth. in what better hands can We
leave this old earth and her prob
lens"
4 Part Of Courage
The idea of truth cannot be over
emphasized 1t stands head and
shoulders over all other things. 1t
goes hand in hand with courage and
honesty. That is why it is i'm
portant to free a child's mind of
compleNes. AS long as he has a
fear or other such completes there
cannot be perfect truth.
Teaching truth is not easy TO
begin with, it is perilous to destroy
the imaginative period in child.
| p to four or d little over, his little
dream stories may cause parent to
worry.
Parents. however. usually can tell
the difference between a little play
/ make-up story and a deliberate lie.
lie may be a denial of misbe-
Z hayjor or :, In pl,t ,I IN
work harm to somebody else. or
blame put on Il playmate to clear
himself. The first is more common.
| IT is this age that parents should
begin to emphasize truth emphati-
cally. and ever after. Truth and
honesty should be taught together.
and they should be taught we'll.
The chief cause Of lying. we have
| discovered. is self-defense 4 child
does something wrong, or that he
knows you think is wrong. His first
impulse is to lie out of it, II takes
courage to own up to misbehavior.
II he thinks you are unreasona BILE
about the thing he is doing. he will
lie all the quicker because he feels
he has justification.
Guard Against Fear
50 there are two important points
for parent to remember. Never
make your discipline so strict that
a child feels he is justified in break
Ing over. That very justification
makes lie easy. And never make
punishment for misbehavior so in
evitable and so severe that his fear
Of you makes it well night impossi-
bic for him TO tell the truth.
Fear is absolutely ruinous in all
Of it's forms. Moral fear is this
curse of the human race. Our en-
tire conduct is shaped around the
word. Almost everything we DO il
influenced by fear Of one thing OF
another.
And lying by a child liz based On
fear of his parents chiefly. What
) about it"

GREAT COLLECTION OF SHOES

Philadelphia, Aug. 3. Pl-Twenty
years ago young girl travelling
through Europe became interested
in a pair OF unusual shoes. She
bought them. Then. because she
owned one pair, she became inter-
ested in other shoes which she
thoughtcurious. and to crafty her
Whim she collected them.
Today Mrs. William Dawson, Jr.,
of Philadelphia has collection of
shoes which she believes unique in
this country.
Aided by friends who remem-
bered her hobby and adding to her
collection during her own travels.
Mrs. Dawson now has more than
| 100 pairs of peasants shoes of
many nations and curious savage
| footgear besides.
Since few persons have collected
shoes and because native costumes
are rapidly passing. Mrs. Davison's
collection has become far more val
liable than she had expected. Her
''old Shoes as She always con-
sidered them. now are said to be
worthy of presentation to a mu-
scum. That, says Mrs. Dawson.
will probably be their destination.
