ADVANCES IN CURB
PRICES CONTINUED
Leaders Again Establish
New High Marks-0il
Shares Are Bid Up.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 30.-The conf
dent tone which characterized opera
tions for the rise during the recent Ses-
sions was not so much in evidence on
the curb exchange today, although the
outstanding features again occurred on
the side of advance. The customary
new high records were established in the
leaders and in some instances gains were
pronounced.
In the oil group Standard of Ken
tucky and Prairie Pipe Line were bid up
to their highest, the latter 10 points
above the previous final at 236. In each
instance expectations that directors
would resort to the capitaliZing of cash
surpluses was the incentive for the
demand.
In the case of Standard Of Kentucky
q so per cent stock dividend was men,
toned. CaFib Syndicate was again
prominent among low prices issued.
Columbia Graphophone resumed its
upward movement and was one of the
features among specialties in point OF
activity Opening on a block of 10000
shares at 657s. it established a new peak,
but failed to hold the improvement
when profit taking developed. Another
noteworthy performer was Rainbow
Luminous, which sold at its highest
since listing at Al, with a turnover on
q large scale. Upward revision Of earn
tngS estimates for 1923. based on the
closing of important contracts, was the
incentive. In this respect the Neve con-
tract to supply its 100 stores in the
metropolitan district with this form of
illumination was said to be an i'm
portant acquisition.
Neve shares themselves were bid
up more than point following the
denial by the president of rumorS of
his intention to resign. He said that
he had added to his holdings of the
stock during the past 80 days. Davega,
Inc, responded to the report that
negotiations had been completed for
the opening of three new stores, which
will give the company chain OF 13
in the New York district.
Public utilities were featured by East
ern Statets Power "B' and Northeast
ern Power. both of which reached new
highs. Mining shares moved irreg-
ulariy, with Noranda of more than
point under profit taking and New
mont again in higher demand at
higher prices.
Other specialties that went to their |
best included st. Regis Paper, five points |
higher at 1902; Realty Associates, more |
than 80 points, at 405: Fairchild Avia- |
don, more than point higher; Hercules |
Powder, up five points, at 800. and Prop |
per Silk Hosiery Mills, almost point |
higher. Ford Motor of Canada, after |
early weakness, rallied sharply for !
gain of 10 points of the day. when 1t |
changed hands at 624. Firestone Tire |
was little affected by the tire price-cut |
announcement, while Checker Cab was |
pressed for sale below the so level.

Inventors Happy Discovery.

Casting about for a n-tarnishing
metal suitable for the manufacture of
cutlery, Elwood Haynes Is years ago
found such an alloy, but this compost
tiou was soon discovered to have quail
ties which made it much more valuable
for an entirely different purpose. When
properly applied to the steel bits used in
drilling oil. wells. "stellite," as it is
called. has been the means of speeding
up the work of boring and in effecting
important economies. The amount of
footage has been more than doubled,
Increased 1876 per cent to be exact, the
drilling rate has been increased by Sc
per cent. and the total working time
/ j suuired cut down by 36 per cent. The
alloy is used as a coating to the usual
steel bit and while it must be careIully
applied 1t is not difficult operation.

NEW YORK, October 30.-The cot

Influenced by the failure of early

Calendar Chaotics.

Prior to the time when Julius Caesar
conquered Egypt. the Egyptians divided
the year into IL months Of 80 days each.
with five extra days for holidays. Caesar
distributed the Ave extra days by adding
one day to alternate months. This he
did because he thought odd numbers
were lucky. In 20 B. c., Augustus Cae-
sar, in his pride, decided to have as
many days in the month of his birth,
which happened to be August, as there
were in the birth month Of Julius Cae-
sar, which happened to be July. The
superstition of the one and the ambition
Of the other thus produced something
of the chaos which we still suffer. In
1882 Pope Gregory dropped 10 days out
of the calendar and in 1852 his plan
was adopted by England and her
colonies.
