TRADING IS LIGHT
ON BOND MARKET
Atchison ConvertibIes Strong,
but Most Others Have
Reactionary Tone.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 7.-One Of the
convertible bond issues, Atchison 412s.
was consciously strong today. with
the stock making new high record,
while most of the others showed further
reactions.
The Telephone 41as were off 2 to
points. American International 5l2s
were back to about the level at which
Mondays advance started. General
Public Service SIPS lost liz points,
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron
IS we're down point and Southern
Pacific AIS, Allegheny Corporation IS
and American 1. G. Chemical S l2s were
all heavy. Temporarily the snap seems
to have gone out Of the market for the
two most active foreign convertibleS,
Kreuger g. Toll SIS and Lautara IS.
Trade Volume Drops.
The volume of trading diminished as
the popular speculative issues reacted
and with no increase in the amount Of
transaction in mortgage bonds.
Pathe Is, Pan American Petroleum Is
and Cuba Cane Sugar IS showed losses
ranging from to "a points. Inter-
off point. but Third Avenue As gained
nearly point
There was a recovery of IL points
In New Orleans Public Service SIS, which
have sold this week at new low price;
also slight improvement in Con-
solidated Coal SIS from the lowest level
of the year.
Seaboard Air Line adjustments and
SIS. as we'll as Missouri Pacific As, st.
Paul adjustments and Frisco AIS, were
fractionally better.
French Issues Strong.
The feature of the foreign lis was
the strength of all the French govern
ment and municipal obligations. The
French Is and Department of Seine rs
were each up a point. with more than
usual activity in the various per
cent municipal bonds.
Efforts to arouse some enthusiasm Tor
strictly investment bonds are being
made, but with money rates at their
present high level. both private in
vestors and institutions are unwilling
to come into the market, though prices
appear to have been stabilized. Both
the insurance companies and the saw
ings banks are putting out money on
call and are turning the larger portion
of their surplus funds into real estate
mortgages.

HEBERLEIN ATTAINS
FAME AS ENGINEER
Local Boy Works With Devise
Which Threw st. Louis Lights
on from Airplane

G. E. Heberlein, cousin of G.
E. Heberlein, who lives in the
Horse Heaven district, was one of
the engineers who experimental
and worked with the device, which
attached to an airplane, threw the
switch in st. Louis, which turned
on the city lights there early in
December.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heberlein raised
this young man who is graduate
of the Triple Springs school in
the Horse Heavens and of Wash
ington State college. Since his
from the State Col
lege of Washington, he has been
employed by, the Westinghouse
Electric company of Pittsburgh.
This new devise enables pilot
in an airplane to operate ground
illumination. From the air, a 81
rem is operated by a wind motor,
turned on or off by the pilot. On
the ground an electric Gear" picks
up the sound waves and transmits
them to an apparatus of which
the Knowles grid glow tube is a
part. AS the siren increases in
speed and reaches a certain high
pitched note. the tube operates
and the switch is thrown on caus-
ing the illumination.

Incubators House Two
Wee Babies at Hospital

Two tiny wee incubator babies
are being cared for at the Linn
hospital by Mrs. Harry Linn. One
small creatures Emily Jean Long,
who was born January IA, weighs
only 2 1-2 pounds. The other, baby
Payton from Finley, also girl,
weighs 4 1-2 pounds. Both babies
are being cared for under the di-
rection of DR.. George II. Rue.
The. babies look like big dolls
as they lie in their warm boxes
wrapped. in cotton wool, except
as they stretch and occasionally
wave tiny hand. Their body tenn
perature must be kept at SO de-
grees and a Thermometer in each
box indicates the exact tempera-
ture of the incubator. The babies
are completely covered except for
their faces and their eyes are
shaded from the electric light
globes which are used in the boxes
to maintain an even temperature.
They are fed every two hours
and take one half ounce of nouris-
ment. At first it was necessary
to use medicine dropper, but due
to the ingenuity of Mrs. Linn, a
tiny bottle, such as little girls use
for their dollies, swas purchased
and sterilized and makes a most
satisfactory bottle for the babies.

ALL OFFICERS
REELECTED BY
CITY LIBRARY
Mrs. Hatch, Mrs. Huntington,
Rev. Morton and Mrs. Soth
Chosen Trustees at Annual
Meeting Monday.

The Kennewick school district
would gain $5,112.43 in its annual
apportionment under the proposed
Showalter plan to finance the state
system of public schools. However
the entire county shows loss of
S15,O37.S3 and gain or $7,973.12
or net loss for the county of ST.
064.71, according to report just
received from Olaf Strandwold,
county superintendent of schools.
School district No. % (Hover)
would stand a loss of 81 ,599.03 and
school district No. % (Finley) a
loss of $776.30.
Instead of the present plan of
state and county support by which
twenty dollars is raised for each
census child by the state and ten
dollars by the county, the Sho-
walter plan proposes to add 3 IL
mills to the present state school
levy and one mill to the county
levy with the object of enabling
local school district in lowering
their levies and insuring a more
equitable division of school sup
port throughout the state" Mr..
Strandwold writes.
"Under the present law many
factors enter into the "apportion-
ment" or distribution of the state
and county funds among the school
districts. The Showalter plan aims
to distribute these funds solely on
the basis of actual days of school
attendance with the single excep-
tion of the Barefoot School-boy
Law" which provides that no dis
trict shall be credited with less
than two thousand days attend
ance.
Specifically the plan provides
that the state shall contribute %
cents each day of attendance of
either grade or high school pupil,
and that the county shall contrib
ute 10 cents day for each grade
pupil and Is cents per day for each
senior high school pupil.
"In my comparison of the Sho-
walter plan with the present plan
of raising and appropriating school
money, / have used the current
school year as basis"

SENIOR PLAY
TO BE GIVEN
FEBRUARY L
Richard Purdy's Across the
Street" Chosen for Vehicle
to be Presented at Local
High School
tcobyneht. ". N. W
By Mercedes Sprague

Seniors are busy-busy practic-
ing for the moment dear to every
seniors heart. The class is pre-
senting Richard Purdy's play,
"Across the Street" on Friday,
February L. Books were given to
members, of the cast before the
Christmas holidays that they
might begin their memory work.
Directly after vacation rehearsals
began and are now at high pitch.
Play books are as constant COM
panions in ones hand as last year
bills, while on the street, at school,
and even in their dreams ESQ it is
said) the seniors rehearse. From
snatches of the play we have heard
such as you'll pick me up ?"
"You can't marry the town" and
Crossed wires, l tell you" we
Judge that there will be ample op-
portunity for the display of the
amateur Thespian ability.
The action of "Across the
Street" takes place in the sleepy
little town of Glendale, which is
"dying of Musgravitis." Oberly
Musgrave, the towns leading citi-
zen, Tin his own opinion) has per-
petrated so many frauds on the
people that they have almost given
up hope of ever thwarting his
schemes of graft and corruption.
Into this situation we throw two
young men, who are struggling
with misfit positions in life. Joe
Bagley is owner of the "only store
of its kind in town." and Kenneth
Dodge, the other crossed wire" is
associate editor of the. "Rotten Old
Observer" which has long been
Musgrave's mouthpiece. Coopera-
tion between Bagley and Dodge
spells trouble for Musgrave and
exciting times for Glendale.
The firm, well-knit plot serves
as an excellent support for the hill
arious lines and situations which
are so happily interspersed among
the serious scenes.
The cast of characters are as
follows:
Mildred Martin, Odile Shepard; /;
Oberly Musgrave, Jim Beste; Sta
pleton, Edward Colman, Joe Bag
ley, Walter Knowles; Elvira Bag
ley, Glee Miller; Cal Abbot, Ed
ward Bleichner; Cy Perkins, Ed
ward Neuman; Agnes Ellery, Vio-
let Boyer; Kenneth Dody, George
Shepard; Col. Dodge, Elmer Hupp-
man.
