TWO WOMEN ENROL IN TRAFFIC COURSE
Rose Carlson and Anna Timbrel
 Register at Y. M. (. X.

Two New Britain young women are ambitious to become factory traffic managers. according to re- ports from the '. M. c. A. where the opening session of the course in traffic management was held last evening.
 Of the 27 persons who are taking the course and who were present last evening. eight new ones signed up as students. Of these eight, two are young women, who hope to qualify in the near future as full fiedged traffic managers. They are Misses Rose Carlson of the traffic department Of the American Hard ware Corporation and Anna Tim brell of the traffic department of the same corporation.
 According to J. F. Atwater, who is director of the course and who is chief traffic manager for the above corporation, there is no reason why women cannot become as efficient and satisfactory in directing factory traffic problems as men. The young women enrolled for the course upon the advice of Mir. Atwater.
 Others who signed up for the course were Henry Groman of the Stanley Rule and Level plant; L. F. Mangan, Jr, of Tull Brothers: w. J. Richie of the Stanley Works; Charles Fletcher of the Royal Type writer company: Alger Schiffman of the Parker X Buckley Co.,, and Will liam Hickie of the Corbin Screw cor poration,

STOCK MARKET IS
 VERY LAZY TODAY
No Indication Of Definite Trend
 Is DisCernible

New York, March CP - The stock market continued today to drift in rather ainless fashion. with no indication Of a definite trend Pools again marked up a few favor ties to points at the same time that bear traders were digging out new weak spots. Commission houses continued to advise caution In the making of new commitments, which was reflected in the relatively small volume of trading
 The action of the market this week appears to indicate that op- posing speculative forces had reach- cd stalemate. with the future trend probably dependent upon some out side forCe. Weekly mercantile re- views reported luther irregularity in business. but with progress being made in most lines. although the volume continues slightly below the corresponding level last year.
 Call money again renewed at f l-2 per cent with plenty of funds available at that figure. Large indus trial corporations who have no need of surplus cash. are reported to be heavy lenders in the call market. thereby competing with banks and other large financial institutions
 General Motors pointed upward today on predictions of record breaking first quarter earnings, but |. s. Steel common dipped to a new low level for the year, presumably on selling inspired by the disap- pointing pickup in spring business Collins X Aikman was the new target today Of bear traders. who have succeeded in uncovering a new weak spot each day this week. R. H. Macy. which jumped 23 points soon after the opening, lost IS points of the gain by early afternoon.
 Declines Of points or more in International Business Machines. Mullins Body Transue & Williams. Montgomery Ward. American Radi- ator and American Republics were offset by similar gains in Brooklyn Edison. American Bosch Magneto, helly-Springtield per cent pre- terred and Universal Leaf Tobacco. Reactlonary price tendencies de- veloped at the opening Of today's stock market. Selling probably was inspired by the small decrease in brokers loans last week. Declines of a point or more were recorded by C S. Steel common, Allied Chemical International Nickel and Radio.
 Fresh weakness cropped out in General Railway Signal and Nation- al Distillers. which were weak car Her Ill the week. Good buying sup port quickly made it's appearance for many other industrials when poor operations were resumed in a num- Der Of specialties. R. H. Macy jumped a3 points to new ord high at 5l5. as compared with the years low of 225. and Abra ham X Straus quickly moved up 6 points American Encuastic Tling, which was strong yesterday, moved up 6 points more before the end of the first hour hour National Lead pre- ferred A and Union Carbide made up the dividends of S-4 and 1 1-o respectively. which came off the stock today. Predictions Of an ear ly advance in rolled steel prices brought some buying support into the steel group. Early trading ap- peared to be largely professional in character, and generally restricted 10 stocks in which special develop- ments are believed to be pending. Foreign Exchanges opened slightly easier, with Sterling cables down 10 S4S1 2-4

TEAPOT DOME FUND
 TRACING IS VAGUE
Senate ProberS Still in Quandary
 as to Where It Went

Washington, Mar. 2 {Pt-While some additional progress has been made, the senate Teapot Dome com ,nittee still was in quandary today IS to the final resting place Of the major portion of the S3,oSo,ooo in profits from an overnight oil deal consummated in this country by the Continental Trading Company Of Canada.
 Testimony yesterday by Will H.. Hays. former postmaster general that Harry r. Sinclair, had given him s260,000 in liberty bonds, but got back s100,oo0 for use by the re- publicans national committee in 1923 after the oil operator had leas- ed Teapot Dome led the investigating committee to believe it had at least partially traced more than two mll- lion dollars of the profits. X reca- pitulation of it's efforts 10 date fol- lows:
 That soo3, ,096 of the bonds went from Sinclair to Albert z. Fall aft CT the lease was signed, although only &196,n of this amount has been traced directly to the account of the Canadian corporation.
 A belief by the committee that the S26O, 900 turned over 10 Hays by Sinclair to help eXtingulsh the re- publican national committee deticit from the 1920 presidential cam
 ,iaJ, directly S1lDrf- vised as chairman of the party'S national committee. represented part of Sinclair's profits from the Continental transaction.
 That sSoo.0oO of the bonds went to James F. ONeil. former pros!- dent of the Prairie Oil and Gas company Testimony has been that this amount was delivered by O'Neils son to W. s. Fitzpatrick, chairman of the board of the Prairie company, on May 20, 1925, at the direction of the father. who travelled from Paris to Montreal 10 make restitution of his share in the profits. Chairman Nye of the con- mittee, however. has termed these returned bonds as replacements since their serial numbers did not check with Continental securities.
 Hays testimony yesterday was Sinclair handed him the S260000 in liberty bonds in 1923 after the Continental had gone out of busi ness, but he knew nothing of the Canadian company at that time.
 Remembering that the former cabinet officer had testified in 1924 that Sinclair had contributed money toward the republican deficit, Sena- tors Walsh, democrat. Montana, and Rratton, democrat, New Mexico, questioned Hays closely on the point.
 Hays explained that since he has further amounts and planned at the time to return all of the money 10 Sinclair, he did not volunteer infor- nation beyond that about the S15, 900 donation.
 Of the total, s1oO,000 was re- turned to Sinclair as not needed. Hays said, adding that Sinclair had not contributed during the 1920 campaign because of the national committees decision to keep in- dividual contributions below S1.on0. He declared he knew Of no one who had given as much as Sinclair toward wiping out the party deficit.
