CURB UNSETTLED,
 MONEY IS SCARCE
Volatile Issues Break Sharply;
 All Gains Are Small

New York, April 10 R-The curb market vas again unsettled today, in sympathy with trends on the "big board" as call money mounted from renewal rate of to 9 per cent, and was scarce at the higher figure. Time money continued tight.
 The volatile issues were inclined were small. The Ford of Canada issues again provided the fireworks, the new E stock, which jumped from 103 10 112. closed at 135 yesterday. dropping to 96 today. and rebound ing to ll2 by midday, The action of the curb board of governors yes- terday in indefinitely deferring de- liveries in this stock, was inter- preted by some holders es a suspen- sion of trading and caused some panicky selling. The old stock ranged from 1l40 10 l125 during the forenoon.
 The action of the governors a mo- tice printed on the ticker explained. does not affect sales of class B other than delaying the time in which deliveries may be made. Trading in this stock was demoralized from the time of it's listing last week when it was confused by many traders with the class A non-voting stock, which is not listed on the curb. The defer ring of deliveries was understood to have been ordered to save shorts from paying exorbitant prices to cover their commitments. Other stocks which sold of sharp ly included Deere & Co.,. dropping point. and the new Wright Aero stock, which lost points Goldman Sachs trading reacted after a dis play of strength. and Fox Theaters A and International Telephone (new) were heavy.
 Utilities were irregular. Electric Bond and Share moved upward at the opening. only to lose more than it's gain. and Electric Investors also turned reactionary. Northwestern Power was heavy.
 Oil stocks generally moved coun- ter 10 the downward trend, despite the announcement of another upturn in crude oil production. Vacuum. Humble and International Petroleum made moderate gains. In the mines Newmont jumped II points, only 10 sell off around midday.

HEFLIN GREEIS TROPICAL
 AND ALL SEEMS FORGIVEN
Alabama Senator's Soa Rack Under Psternal Wing After Snappy
 Fling Along BroadWay.

Washington. April 10 UP)- Thomas Heflin. Jr.. son of Senator Hefain of Alabama, was back under his fathers watchful eye today. ap- parently little the worse for his re- cent adventure Tn distant non- prohi- bition lands.
 He returned from New York last night. chaperoned by J. L. Thorn ton. the senator's secretary. and stepped from the train into . pa ternal embrace which onlookers con- sidered convincing proof that all was forgiven.
 Only one incident marred the tranquility of the scene. It was the elder Hefin's demand for the arrest Of newspaper photographers gather cd to record the homecoming of the prodigal.
 Policemen. arrest these camera men," Hefin shouted as he made his way toward a taxicab. But there were no policemen in sight and the photographers were not molested.
 Young Hefiin's troubles started in New York Monday when he arrived with congressional party from Panama and announced to reporters that he agreed with Alfred E. Smith on the prohibition question-that he was determined. in fact. to call on smith and tell him as much.
 Senator Heflin is political dry and probably the bitterest anti Smith democrat in public life.

CANADIAN PREMIER
 WARNS 0N TARIFF
Mackenzie King Advises House
 Not to Provoke America

Ottawa, Ont. April 10 R-Pre- mier Mackenzie King has warned the house Of commons against a Canadian tariR policy which might provoke the United States.
 The warning was directed espe- cially toward the opposition which has urged . retaliatory tariff wal! against United States products if that government increases tariffs on Canadian goods.
 The premier stressed the need of maintaining an atmosphere of trust and good will to safeguard the suc- cess of negotiations in the working out of international problems.
 ' can conceive of no greater mis- fortune" he said. than that the St. Lawrence waterway project should be mixed up in any way with the tariff question"
 It was the intention of the Cana dian government. he added, in rela- tiona with the United States and Great Britain to go as far as pos sible to advance mutual interests. The trade between the United States and Canada was perhaps the great est between any two countries in the world and any change in the United States tariff was of great interest 10 Canada, he said.
 It would be unwise, he added for the government to take any action at this time which might be con- sidered provocative by the United States and might be used by those interests in that country desirous of . higher tariff.
 Speaking of the amendment to the executive budget proposed by the opposition which would provide for extension Of the British prefer ence that too. the premier said. could be regarded as provocative at the present time.

| troubles and correct them under the
watchful direction of Prof. Cornell They
are as proud as strutting peacocks of
the rehabilitated cars when the tasks
are finished. Their ardor for more
practical test jobs stands at fever heat
after they win home plaudits-and uSu-
ally an extra quota of spending money
for work competently and quickly
performed.
The automotive courses at Central
High School Matched out from the I'M
popularity of previous shop activities in
forge work which passed from the
scholastic program several years ago.
The boys and girls dubbed the forge
shop work as the "horseshoeing
courses" They didn't cotton" to far
riering" Student hostility to "horse-
shoeing'' eventually resulted in this
particular school work lapsing into OBJ
livion.
The former forge shop was idle for
about one year, and then along came
Prof. Cornell with the brilliant sugges-
ton that the vacant shop be converted
into an automotive laboratory. With
out any expense to the school authori-
ties Mr.. Cornell fitted and equipped the
shops. Washington automobile dealers
co-operated with the teacher He
begged, borrowed and confiscated repair
parts, accessories, engines, ignition sys-
TENS, batteries, generators and other
equipment from here, there and else
where. Today the shop is well equipped
with hand and power tools. while
half dozen automobiles and automotive
engines, mounted on skids, are used
for experimental purposes.
The students at this school became
so enthusiastic about the automobile
courses that ultimately the contagion
spread to the faculty. Prof Cornell
was Intercepted so frequently and Wig
orously about How can I repair my
car and where?" by fellow teachers that
he finally originated faculty course
in motor car mechanics. The popular
class met every Saturday morning dur
ing the school year. New and old own
ers of faculty automobiles shook hands
with the myster Of car repair and
adjustment. The school work for
teachers was glorious success. Now
that he offers the community courses
in motor mechanics, Prof Cornell has
discontinued the faculty shop work.
The teachers now go to school with the
parents of high school students, in
order to add to their automobile
knowledge.
The Central High School automotive
shop is equipped with 16 large steel
vises, adequate work benches and some
