The musicians, concealed behind a
bower of ferns, stopped playing as
amplifiers were put before the
table of honor, and James Quirk
rose to speak. Mr.. Quirk stressed
the responsibility involved in the Sc
lection, and continued:
II have discovered in three years
of personal research that If the girls
of America had followed the pre-
cepts of gray-bearded economists,
this country would never have
reached its present stage of pros
perity; and if some of these ecOno-
mists were to check up on these
young ladies they would find them
extravagant. l hope these typical
American girls are extravaSant,
happy and lovely beings. They
are the chief cause of one of the
geratest industrial changes Of the
last decade. They forced the most
powerful industrialist in the world
to shut down his factory until he
changed the style Of his car to
suit them"
Introduces Miss Sangster
Mr.. Quirk introduced Miss Mar
garet Sangster, seated at his left
in a summer dress Of black and
white chiffon. Miss Sangster voiced
her pleasure in the Is lovely girls

COX PROMOTED
To DETECTIVE

After 12 years of service during
which he had been commended
numerous times for bravery and
efficiency. Richard !. Cox, of the
Letterman vice squad. today was
promoted to the rank of First pre-
cinct detective.
In making the announcement,
Major Henry G. Pratt. superintend-
ent of police. said Sergeant Cox
would continue on the liquor squad,
Cox was transferred to the police
force in 1917 after 10 years in the
Fire Department. His work in
Southwest Washington caused him
to be dreaded in crime circles and
brought about his assignment on
the vice squad in 1925.
Numerous big raids have been
made by the Letterman squad in
recent years on information fur
nished by Cox.

Pickett Says Drought
Has Earned Nation
II Billions

Deets Pickett, secretary Of the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, declared
last night in an address in the
Methodist Building that prohibi-
ton has been worth 72,O00.0o0,-
600 TO the United States since
1920.
He arrived at this figure, Pick
EFT explained, by deciding that the
American people have been saving
approximately $4,000, 5000 an
nually in the direct liquor cost
and the indirect saving due to
increased efficiency, and the sob
riety which has stimulated mass
production, amount to as much
more.
He estimated that the liquor
traffic has dropped 80 per cent
since the advent of prohibition.

STOCKS ARE LOWER
IN SELLING MOVE
Credit Outlook Induces Heavy
Liquidation-Many Issues
in Reaction.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

Written for the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 18.-Stock prices
were depressed by a steady trickle of
nervous liquidation in a quiet halliday
session on the New York Stock Ex-
change today, as the credit outlook ap-
peared still more cloudy.
With all IL Federal Reserve Banks
now on a per cent rediscount basis,
the San Francisco bank having fallen
into line, Wall Street is inclined to the
belief that one of the last obstacles to
putting the rate up to perhaps 6 per
cent in Eastern centerS has been re-
moved, and 1t is understood that both
the New York and Chicago directors
are prepared to raise their rates as soon
as the Reserve Board in Washington
will permit.
The only obstacle that appears to re-
main is the fact that sterling exchange
has fallen to the theoretical gold import
point, and the reserve officials are be-
lieved to be unwilling to embarrass the
Bank of England by taking action that
would induce a new flow of gold from
London. If the Bank of England, how
ever, again raises its discount rate, this
obstacle will be removed.
With a call money market so sensi-
tive that the rate jumps to IA or Is
per cent on moderate calling of loans,
traders contemplate the next few weeks

with some anxiety, as 1t Is estimated
that the exercising Of rights to add
tional stock financing will require about
81 600, 5000 before early July, ano
,mh of this drain upon the money
market will coincide with the require
ments OF the mid-year settlements.
1t is reported that some lenders are
asking as much as 9l2 per cent for the
shorter maturities in the time money
market. the highest rate in many years.
In contrast to unsettled aspects OF
the credit situation, the rather meager
business and industrial news that came
to hand today continued generally
favorable. The week end reviews stressed
the surprising maintenance Of near
capacity operations in the steel industry.

MOOSE LODGE WILL
HOLD PICNIC SUNDAY

The annual picnic and dance of the
Moose Lodge will be held Sunday at
the Happy Brothers camp grounds.
This IS only short distance from
town and is on the main fork of Rock
creek. The committee state that the
road will be marked so that no one
will have any trouble in finding the
place.
The grounds are the most complete
IN every way and among other build
lngs is a fine dance floor, where
Speedy Alden and his "Sundodgers"
will hold forth. A charge will be made
for dancing, but no admission will be
charged for entrance to the picnic
grounds. Stands and booths will dis
.pense pop, candies and sandwiches and
no one need bother about bringing
lunches if they do not care to go to
the trouble.
The committee in charge made ex-
tensive plans for a good time ad as
the affair is open not only to Moose
but to the entire public, it is expected
that large crowd will be in atten-
dance. Invitations have been broad
cast and many people will attend from
points as far away as Billings.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Moose
are helping the men out and it is
promised that everybody attending
will enjoy themselves.
