New York. Oct. 25.-(P-Reassur-
ing statements issued by five Of the
leading bankers Of the country from
the office Of J. p. Morgan and COM
pany checked the worst stock market
debacle In the history of Wall Street
yesterday.
While prices were plunging under

hurled into the maelstrom OF selling.

Morgan firm. speaking for the group
said. their consensus was the foun-
dations Of the market were sound: !:
the market smash had been caused
by technical. rather than fundamen-
tai considerations; and that many
sound stocks were selling too low.
Backed by Purchases
The statement. backed by substan-
tial buying orders for key stocks,
stemmed the tide. but 1t was not
until 708 p. M, four hours. eight
minutes and 20 seconds. after the
close of the market, when the ticker
printed the last quotation, that the
strength Of the. rally. was known.
The day broke all records for
breadth and volume Of trade. A total
Of 1850, $50 shares. representing 974
separate issues, figured in the days
transactions. The previous record
was 6.240.740 shares. established last
March 26.

same group Of bankers assembled
again in the Morgan offices. In ad-
dition to the vast wealth Of the house
of Morgan. they represented e6,O0O,-

They said they had learned that nc
member firms were In difficulty.
There is little for bankers to say, =
their spokesman said. las far as we
have learned margins have been we'll

They saw little ground for 4 pro-
longed state Of uneasiness.
The collapse Of the stock exchange
carried the curb exchange along with
It, 6,337 400 shares changing hands

Modern Farmers Count
Chicks Before Hntched'
Scientific Feeding and Use
of Ultraviolet Light
Cuts Down 'Duds.'

By Times Special
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-"Don't
count your chickens before they are
Matched" is about to pass into the
limbo of forgotten axio1ns.
Hundreds of the poultry farmers
who cater to the most populous
area in the United States-from
Philadelphia to New York-are not
only counting their chickens before
they are Matched, but they are rare
ly missing the count by even a frac-
ton. When they put a dozen eggs
under a hen they can count on a
dozen healthy chicks emerging-and
nc buds.
The explanation, made by D. G.
Kennard, poultry expert of The
Farm Journal, is that modern
science is putting a kick into the
embryo chick by the same measures
it uses to increase the health of the
modern child-Sunlight baths and
cod-liver oil. The difference is that
the hen gets the sunlight and oil
before she lays the eggs that pro-
duce the chicks.
They haven't gone so far as to
coddle the hens under artificial sun
light lamps yet, but many of the
poultry farms in this and other cold
climate areas are assuring that the
birds get as much sunlight as posi-
BILE during the cold, dark months by,
installing the new and specially
proceSsed glass which permits the
ultraviolet rays of the sun to enter
the hen houses and hatcheries.
This measure, along with an addi-
ton of / per cent of cod-liver oil to
the chicken feed, gives the hen the
necessary vitamin ID" which is
essential if she is to be a prolific
and fertile layer, Kennard explains.
1t also increases the vigor of the
embryo chick and improves the
texture of the egg shell, both of
which factors increase greatly the
proportion of eggs Matched.
