 MARCH OF AMERICANS ON QUEBEC

EUSTIS, Me, March 27.-The trail which Benedict Arnold and colonial soldiers trod 135 years ago en route to attack Quebec may again be traversed by troops next simmer.

 The trail will in part follow the course of the long trek of the Revo- lutionary forces a md will pass through some of the most beauti- ful scenic parts of Maine.

FAMOUS ANS-ATLANTIC TAKEOFF
 TO BECOME $1 ,5OO, ,OOO AIRDROME

cons and other equipment for night flying, are included in the pro- ject.

The country, an unbroken wild erness when Arnold and his little army of HOO men struggled through it, still retains it's rugged pictures queness.
 Arnold and his troops made up of companies from New England, Kentucky and Virginia, clad in non- descript uniforms, dragged th e I supplies and provisions up the Ken nebec river on bateuax made of logs. At Caratunk plantation they swung west across Three Ponds to Dead River. They fought their way up this stream, losing several of their crude boats in a storm.
 At Flagstaff 300 men under Col onel Enos turned back but Arnold and the remainder continued. The siege of Quebec was unsuccessful and was withdrawn after the troops suffered severe reverses. Arnold's later disgrace and his flight to England had no part in this gallant affair.

Austria Making Slow
 But Steady Progress

VIENNA, March 27-According to official figures just published the value of Austrias excess im- ports in 1928 amounted to $147,- 100000, imports being S464,400,0OO and exports S317OO000O.
 Unfavorable as these figures may appear at first sight, Austria's ex- ports nevertheless show an im- provement of per cent. while the total trade turnover is 8 per cent larger than the total deficit S8,500,- 900 smaller when. compared with that of 1927.
 Moreover, Austria's unfavorable trade balance is wiped out by her invisible exports. her transit trade and her large income from invest ment abroad. Thus altogether the country manifests slow but steady progress.

STOCK MARKET HIT BY
 CREDIT CRISIS, WORSE
 IN 9 YEARS, LOAN RATE

NEW YORK, March 27.-The worst credits crisis in nine years in which the official call loan rate jumped from Is to 20 per cent and as high as 25 per cent, demanded by the outside market, yesterday brought one of the most turbulent sessions in the history of the New York Stock Exchange.
 Prices crashed from $5 to $35 a share and then rebounded in a spectacular fashion with a record breaking turnover of 8,246, TAO shares.
 The credit stringency was the in- direct result of the Federal Reserve Boards policy of seeking coopera- ton of member banks in curtailing the volume of credit on speculative collateral.
 Heavy Withdrawals
 His resulted in heavy withdraw als of lan.ia from New York City by out of to,, n banks and disincli- nations of New York City bankers to meet the deficiency caused the sharp rise and threw a scare into many small investors who dumped their stock.
 At the close the ticker was two hours and fourteen minutes behind, the longest delay on record.

sPAINT UP TOWN COLLEGE HEAD
 -----~ zf5FESES PARENTS AiTy5Df DAUGHTERS

NORTON, Mass, March 26- Home and community would be bet ter off says Dr. J. Edgar Park. president of Wheaton college, if parents went on night parties with their daughters and painted the town red" now and then.
 If you do not have trouble with girls of high school age" Dr. Park suggests, take them to a psychia- trist for examination
 There seems to be something wrong, the educator remarks, with girls who are 100 per cent perfect in all things.
 In addition to the foregoing sug- gestions to aid parents to get along better with their daughters, Dr. Park says:
 "As soon as you get 'het up about your children you are lost. The relationships between parents and children should always be a battle of wits. Don't get peeved. Mothers must take their responsi- bilities in an intellectual way.
 Young people. are going to the limit in tasting every drink once. But I think they are right in doing so. They are enjoying their youth and if you do not enjoy your youth you do not enjoy your old age. The young people of today are hard but clean. We are slushy jelly of sentimentality compared to them."
 Dr. Park says he would rather have young folks clean and hard than slushy and repressed. Girls take more chances today, he says, and are better off in doing so. Par ents, he suggests, must realize that this is a different world from the one they roamed about in.
 Terminate morality survived the long skirt and will survive the short skirt he asserts. Love making is no longer public scan- dal. It is a public art"
