Military Value Is Cited.
Military facts are more simply por-
tentouS. In a war between the United
States and any European or Asiatic
power the polar air route must come to
play conspicuous part. We can block
ade the seas. Sea travel is slow and
must move to and fro over more or less
| definite lines. But could we in the
same way cut myriad possible routes
across the Arctic waste, an area three
| times the size Of continent? Scarcely.
I Contrary to rumor,' the climate DOGGY
! is not going to prove any sort OF per-
manent impeachment to Arctic aviation.
| OF course, the flying months will be
from March to September, though April
and May will be those freest from fog
and low temperatures at the same time.
| The inhuman cold and darkness of the
winter months will probably prevent
! their. use in flying. for centuries.
J One thing is sure: The day is not
| far distant when tourist parties will
( visit the North Pole just as excursioniSts
| are now run from the Battery to the
Statue of Liberty. The round trip from
New York to the center of the Polar Sea
/ will cost somewhere around $500. 1t
| will take less than 48 hours. Those
| aboard the airship viii travel in warmth
and luxury. They will be carried close
to the surface Of the polar pack. From,
padded ratings they viii look down
upon the cruel ice ridges, the treacher-
GUS leads and the deep snow over which
suffering explorers plodded long ago. .
Just as today we gaze at the deserts
of our West from Pullman windows and
comfortably survey the battle-ground Of
Yankee pioneers against early dangers
and hardships, so shall we soon in thu
Far North try to picture the romance
and tragedy Of the past as we happily
J skim the polar pack.

CURB IRREGULAR;
 CONTROL CHANGES
Confusing Gains and Losses Give
 MaXed Market Trend

New York. Dec. 10 (Pp-Price movements on the curb market were indecisire and highly confusing to- day as opposing forces struggled for control.
 The heavy selling pressure appar- ent late yesterday again appeared at the opening, only to give way momentarily during the morning before another bull drive in the utilities. By early afternoon. how ever, the bull forces weakened under increasing liquidation, and prices once more began to yield.
 Money Primer
 A trmer tendency in the money market, and feeling in some quar- ters that the recovery of the past week had been unjustifably rapid and had weakened the markets technical position, were depressing factors.
 As illustrative of the cratic price movement, Aluminium Co. dropped nearly IS points to 29o. and quickly rallied at 315. American & Foreign Power Warrants sagged ? points during the first half hour, quickly converted their loss into a gain of nearly f points, and again turned downward.
 1t was notable. however. that the volume of trading slackened on de- Clines. and bear drives were unable to dislodge any important volume of stock. Nevertheless, considerable selling appeared on bulgcs, indicat- ing that much stock, perhaps bought for support purposes a few weeks ago, is still overhanging the market. American Gas &; Electric and | Hydro Electric Securities were strong spots in the utilities, selling up about , points during the morn 1 ing, but these gains were not main tained, Electric Bond and Share sold up a couple Of points, then re- acted. American Superpower sell ing ez-dividend, was under fairly steady pressure, and Associated Gas A remained sluggish.
 Oils Sell on
 In the oils, Gulf encountered con- siderable profit taking on yestcr- days rise, and sold off some ! points. Humble and Cities Service sagged moderately, while Standard of Indiana held steady, helped by renewed reports that it will soon be transferred to the "big board' 10 keep company with other leading | Standard Oil shares
 Newmont dropped several points. and the Noranda was under consid- erable pressure, retlecting further uncertainty over the copper price level. Industrials were largely quiet end moved in narrow ranges. Ma tional Biscuit new, Deere and Fox Theaters A eased.
 investment trusts were soft, sucl. issues as Goldman Sachs, Blue Ridge, Shenandoah, Trans America, Lehman Corp, -Continenta, Corp, Jagged a point or so.

IOWA DIGGING OUT
 OF MUD HIGHWAYS
Huge Paving Program Destined
 to End Many SlurS

Des Moines, Dec. 10. (UP)-Iowa, for years known among her neigh bors as the mud-road state," IS completing the paving of 650 miles of state and national highways, and will have approximately 2,5OO miles of hard surfaced roads.
 Next season, under five-year paving program designed to place Iowa ahead of other state with regard to pavement, Iowa will pave approximately 700 miles of high ways, which will mean that nearly fifty per cent of her 6.S00 miles of primary roads will be harI- surfaced
 Handicapped by lack of money following the collapse of the land boom which followed the war, Iowa was slow to get into the move ment for concrete highways, but this year, heartoned by a state wide bond issue of $lO0,0O0, 900 ap- proved by q special session of the legislature, 79 of the 99 counties III the state voted county bond issues aggregatng more than the $100,- 100000 that paving might be start cd immediately.
 Constitutionaiy Attacked
 A decision by the state supreme court, during the 1929 biennial session of the legislature, that the issue was unconstitutional, had lit tIe effect on either counties or legislators, for the counties con- t;nued to vote bonds and legislators passed the Unconstitutional bond issue bill as q constitutional amend ment The amendment still must be approved by the 1881 legislature and then by popular vote, but it's proponents are confident the ap proval will be forthcoming, and in the meantime paving is progressing under county issues.
 At the close of the 1929 paving season, according to Fred +. White, chief highway engineer, 2.270 Of lowa's G,S00 miles of state high ways will be paved, while 600 miles will be graded that paving may start as soon as practicable in the spring. In addition $500 miles will be graveled, leaving less than 600 miles of primary highways unsur- faced.
 Iowa this year led all other states in paving, according to White. Cost of the paving. according 10 highway commission estimates, will be $200,000.O0O, while q larger amount will be set aside for that purpose next year. This year q similar amount was spent in inn proving secondary roads which. m Iowa, are highways supervised by counties and townships.

FLUCTUATE
 ON STOCK MARKET
Frequent Shifts in Sentiment
 Noticed During Day

New York, Dec. l 0 LP}-Thc stock market alternately blew hot and cold today in reflection of frequent shifts of speculative sentiment. The market opened irregularly lower, ral- lied briskly before the end Of the first hour, under the leadership Of L. $. Steel common, and then bob bed up and down in the afternoon with gains outnumbering losses. Trading showed marked falling off in volume.
 [. $. Steel common, which ran up sharply yesterday on unconfrmed rumors of an early stock split up and then plunged downward on the announcement that no directors meeting is likely before the regular meeting on the last Tuesday of Jan uary, advanced 41s points to lS4l but had difficulty in maintaining the gain. The monthly tonnage re- port showed an increase Of nearly 5000 tons in unified orders last month, the third successive increase. but this was accounted for largely by the sharp curtailment in opera tions rather than from increased business.
 Railroad shares were in good de- mand. the omission Of the Norfolk and Southern dividend being offset by an increase from S7 to $S in the annual rate on Nirginian railway. Pittsburgh and West Virginia was marked up five points. Union Pacific 1-2, New York Central 1-4 and Baltimore and Ohio. New York, New Haven and Hartford and "Katy'' common advanced to nearly f points. Activity and strength Of St. Paul preferred was based on uncon- tirned reports of dividend inaugura- ton on that issue early next year.
 Public utilities also presented sev- eral points of strength with Ameri- can Telephone, International Tele- phone. Western Union, and Ameri- can Ga Foreign Power in brisk de- m2nd. Detroit Edison was one Of the few soft spots in that group.
