RUSSIA HELPING
NATIONS BLIND

MOSCOW, Feb. 6.-The Soviet
Government has taken steps to
provide Russia's 100000 blind
with food, work and proper medi-
cal treatment.
The majority of the blind are
found in the various national
autonomous republics constitut-
ing the Soviet Union, where di-
seases of the eye are everson the
increase. The Chuvash republic
had registered in 1927 10000
cases of trachoma against 10000
in 1921. In some remote dis
tricts the disease had stricken
about 70 per cent of the popula-
ton. The result is that about
800 out of every 10000 inhabi-
tants are blind.
The All-Russian Society for
Aid of the Blind is taking care
CT only 5000 cases, 1000 of
whom are employed in workshops
operated by the organization.
The central government had
recently taken steps to help the
blind. One of the first concrete
measures of relief had been a
decree ordering republics to set
aside sums from local budgets
for building workshops and main
tanning those already in exist
ence.
The Government also issued an
appeal to the public for yolun-
tary assistance.

STOCK PRICES GAIN
IN BROAD ADVANCE
U. S. Steel Becomes Market
Leader After Period of
Early Uncertainty.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, February 21.-Urgent
demand for U. S. Steel featured today's
stock market. The opening was mod
erately strong, followed by periods of ir-
regularity during the morning. Then in
the early afternoon came the demon
stration in steel, which turned the mar
ket about emphatically.
Steel had been in demand throughout
the early hours, crossing lit to a new
high on the recovery. 1t was in the
third hour, however, that the huge buy
ing orders were thrown upon the market,
finding it with only scant offerings at
prevailing prices.
Market Works Upward.
The stock was taken in 5,000-share
blocks, rushed through $50 and then
sold above 1872, where it was only a
little more than 10 points under the
extreme high for all time. The ad-
vance was accompanied by reports of
special distribution of some kind,
presumably in the early Spring, and OF
highly favorable earnings.
Bethlehem Steel was carried along
with U. S. Steel to the highest point
the steel stocks brought hurried COW
ering into other parts of the list.
American Steel Foundres, Columbia
Graphophone, National Cash Register
and Canada Dry Ginger Ale among
others responded with quick advances
Another feature of the day was the
upward movement in the local trac-
tions. marlborough Rapid Transit
was the leader, with Manhattan Modi-
fed, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Third
Avenue following along. Monday is
decision day in the United States Su-
preme Court and the market was ap-
parently confident of favorable out
come in the case of the Interborough's
application for a 7-cent fare.
The midmorning irregularity followed
a strong opening. For time evening"
up operations characterized the pro-
ceedings. For the most part, however,
they consisted of short covering prior
to the three-day holiday.
Advance Is General.
The market broadened out in the
late afternoon with many popular in
dustrials being actively bought. Gen.
eral Motors shook of its lethargy, work.
ing higher with the other motor stocks,
Hupp and Chrysler in particular. Gen.
eral Electric gained more than 5 points,
Johns Manville more than 3 and Mont
gomery- Ward almost g. American Can
and Westinghouse Electric were other
strong features.
Copper stocks did better in the later
trading, although they still left the
leadership to the steels. u. S. Rubber
was in demand at the best Of the move
ment, responding to reports OF a large
rubber and tire combination. Cana
dian Pacific was the strongest Of the
rails.

INDUSTRY IN VIRGINIA
MADE GAINS IN 1928

RICHMOND, February 81 Especially
Although the itemized records of Viz
GINA industry for 1923 are not yet
available, the Bureau Of Labor and In
dustry estimates that the industrial
output will show a total value in the
vicinity of 5000 100000. Output in 1927
was S782, BAL.
The reason for the increase is the
many new plants erected in Virginia
during the last two years.
Even larger strides may be expected
in 1929. Upon completion of the new
rayon plants, Virginia will produce
more than one-half of the artificial silk
manufactured in the United States.
Cigarette production for 1928 reached
a new high record of 1880. 900, 900
