Cape Charles. Va; .4O miles of shore between Savannah and Jack sonville: 800 miles east of Daytoua, Fla. and over Nassau.
 Mostly Over Water
 At one time she was going from 40 to 50 nautical miles an hour and in another message she said she ex- pected to be near the Patoka about noon today. with approximately TOO miles to so before reaching the Canal Zone.
 Except for crossing over the Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica, the trip will be all over water. For this reason. the flight is regarded as one of prime importance and 2 great test for the craft.
 Plans for the flight it was said. had been under way ever since the Los Angeles accomplished the feat of landing on the deck of the car- rier Saratoga. At France field. she will have a mast only GO feet high .o moor to. First tested at Lake hurst. the device was sent by ship to the canal zone, It consists also of motor truck on which the tail end may be attached permitting the big ship to swing around near the ground.
 All Prepared All preparations were completed this morning for the reception of the dirigible Los Angeles at France field. Panama, at the end of her 5000 mile flight from I.akehurst, ". J.
 Weather conditions wero described as good" by naval officials and it was added that the dirigible would have trade winds with her across the Caribbean, a very desirable fac tor for speeding up the trip.
 Three hundred soldiers were in- structed in the work of aiding the Los Angeles to anchor at the moor ing mast erected at France field.

STEEL TUMbLES ID ANOTHER LOW MARK
Wall Street Mutet Undergoing
 Secondary Reaction

New York. Feb. 27 R)-The stock market went through | secondary reaction today in which '. s. Steel common and several other popular industrials touched new low levels for the year. Early declines ran from l to points, with the pool specialties bearing the brunt of the selling pressure. Trading was only moderately heavy in volume.
 Speculative disappointment over the slow pickup of spring business and continued uneasiness over the brokers loan and industrial unem- ployment situation were the chief factors behind the selling movement. Call money opened unchanged at l-4 per cent but banks called more than $1o.000.o00 in loans before midday. presumably in anticipation of heavy Month-end requirements. In view of the heavy government financing and the approach of March l5 income tax payments, Wall street looks for disturbed money market during the next fortnight.
 U. s. Steel common dropped to a new low at 13s Is after an ineffec- tual attempt to hold 1t above the low of 13Sk. Montgomery-Ward sold off points to 12S 5-s. as against high of 14s% last month. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe broke points On selling presumably inspired by the stiff foreign competition in the Cast Iron Pipe industry. Greene Cananea Copper dipped nearly 6 points but held above the old low of 112. Air Reduction. Collins & Ak man. Vanadium Steel and Gold Dust all fell { points or more. On the other hand. Adams Express scared 10 points and the Kresge Depart ment Store issues moved into new high ground.
 Except for point reductions in Wabash and Canadian Pacific. the rails offered good resistance to sell ing pressure.
 Considerable liquidation developed in the first half hour. The advance in the railroad shares was quickly halted, Wabash retrcating from all early rise of 66 to 65 and Norfolk and Western. Chesapeake and Ohio, Reading. Canadian Pacific and Southern losing point or so. Pitts burgh and West Virginia and Vest ern Maryland however continued to show strength.
 A few specialties had sharp gains in the early hour, Midland Steel Pro- ducts preferred jumping { points, National Tea 1-2 and Montana Power A. Chicago Pneumatic Tool. which sold as low as l25 last week before 1t jumped six points on Saturday rose three points more to 135. There was 8 long list of losses however running from one to five points. including Greene Cananea Copper.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Inn-Keeper of Bethlehem
BY HELEN CAISFORD

IT WAS a brilliant night, and the
inn keeper tossed restlessly In his
bed. Why couldn't they let HIM sleep?
Now some one was singing-an old
hymn, full of "hallelujahs." He
thought of his other guests and
grOaned. He would hear about this
disturbance in the morning.
"Rebecca," he said to his wife, "get
up and tell those noisy singers that
they must hush or leave Shall l have
all my dodgers awakened? And here,
close the shutters. I never saw so
bright a night"
Quietly she did her husbands bid
ding. He was just falling asleep when
Rebecca returned. Her face shone
with excitement. She spoke as she
entered the door. Husband, wake |!
Come and see! You remember that
carpenter and his wife-in the
manger? Where the Child was born,
you know? Well, people are saying
that the Child is a King-that He Is
to be the Savior of the Jews
Shepherds are here from the hills,
and princes have come from the Far
East"
'Don't be foolish, Rebecca. A King
out In our mangerW
"But, it is truel Angels have sung
Of Him, and there Is great light
shining In heaven. All the talk is
Of omen and prophecy. Hush! They
are singing again.
"YOu are fool to believe them.
Why, the man Is q common carpenter
from Nazareth, no better than you
or l."
''They say he is just now her hus-
band. And the mother Is a cousin Of
Elizabeth, the wife of the priest
Zacharias-"
"He whom the angel struck dumb?"
"The same. And we all know their
ages, and how they were blessed with
q son."
"And they named the child not
Zacharias, but John"
"Yes, and in that hour the father
recovered his voice, and told of q
vision. You see? Then is it not pos
sible that this Child in our manger
may be, in reality, the Son Of God?"
"No, no. They are carried away
by their dreams"
"But you believed when you heard
of ZachariaS."
"ThOse whom l know have brought
me news from the hill country.
must believe what they have seen.
But no such thing would happen here
I'm our very courtyard! 1t is too
ridiculous. You are a dreamer, like
the rest. Come, get to bed. Tomor-
row we must work again."
eff you see them you will believe"
believe such things would happen
here?"
''But there are omens-"
ooh, come to bed. / don't care
about the Child. Do you"
