The chief topic of conversation last
week among Reserve officers of the Dis
trict of Columbia was the plan to re-
organize the Infantry division. Though
the details of this reorganization have
not been made public, the plans con-
template b divisional strength Of about
10000 cfficers and men. Due to the
fact that there are a large number of
Reserve Infantry officers residing in
washington, a large proportion of which
served with the American Expeditionary
Forces In France and who have had
considerable front-line experience under
actual battle conditions. this plan to
reorgani1e the Infantry division has
been the source of spirited discussion
wherever District of Columbia Reserve
officers gather. Opinion on the pro-
posed reorganization Is about equal,
some reservists holding to the opinion
that the present Infantry divisional
strength IS satisfactory. while some
favor increasing the strength OF the
American Infantry division.
During the war. rs all Reserve officers
who served during that period will
attest. the infantry divisions numbered
about $4,000 men. Coming down to
the rifle company. the strength OF that
unit during the war was raised from
100 men to $50. The consensus OF
opinion among the reservists. however,
is until more Is known of the actual
reorganization plan. that no definite
opinion can hardly be formed as to
whether a large or small division Is
more suited to the needs and require
ments of the national defense plan.
National Guard officers OF washing
ton have also evinced great interest i'll
this plan to reorganize the Infantry
division, and there Is no question but
that the question will be discussed at
considerable length during the local
guard units encampment at Fort
Monroe, Va, where the 250th Coast
Artillery is now in training, and at
Cascade, Md, where the Military Police
Staff Corps and Engineers will undergo
their active duty training from August
IL to 81. In case the reorganization
plan is placed in effect, the tables of
organization for both the National
Guard and Organized Reserves would
have to be rewritten, and there would be a
revision Of the Army regulations, train
ing regulations and revamping OF the
correspondence courses. the formation
of a new general mobilization plan. etc.
Officers Of both these components of
the Army Of the United States are
greatly interested in the plan and are
awaiting the formal War Department
announcement as to whether 1t Is to be
placed in effect.

Stonehenge Has Been Saved.

Stonehenge, the English relic Of pre-
historic days, has been saved from real
estate dealers and purchased for the
public. 1t being generally accepted that
the original structure was of the bronze
age, the purpose of the stones has been
a subject for much theory, and it is
thought that the place was at some re-
mote time used for sun worship. When
complete, the stones formed two circles,
with an opening to the northeast. The
stones are located on Salisbury Plain,
near the city of Salisbury.

Building "Boards" Of Cornstalk.

not wonderful. but some chemists have
discovered method of effecting this
Transformation in the space of IS min

treated with chemical, which reduces
it to pulp in two or three minutes.
Placed in a mold and subjected to
high pressure the operation is COM
pleted in five minutes. On account of
the long fibers the product Is said to be
quite strong and capable of being han

possibilities, but the resulting board"
lacks strength, but 1t is suitable for
some uses.

RECENT STOCK BREAK
HITS BOND HOUSES
Many Firms Had Followed Public
in Purchase of Equity"
Issues.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


WALL STREET, N. Y, June 4.-The
suspension of a Chicago investment
house. announced after the closing Of
the market on Saturday, was regarded
Yesterday in Wall Street as one of the
inevitable effects of the change that has
come in the past two years in the char
acter of securities demanded by the
public.
When the public refused to buy bonds
and would only subscribe to new issues
of common stocks, or to bonds at some
time convertible into stock. various
houses that had been in the bond bust
ness turned their attention to stocks.
Their sales organizations had to be
maintained and their heavy overhead
expenses met. The result of this was
that they began looking around for
what they thought to be attractive
equity" propositions.
1t requires long years of training for
house to acquaint itself with the
merits of stocks. The elements in a
stock issue are quite different from
those in an issue of mortgage bonds.
Consequently, houses that had been
specializing in bonds for years and took
up the stock game have made mistakes,
some of them serious and costly to
themselves and to their clients.
In the recent decline in prices OF
stocks one of the conspicuous features
has been the thinness Of the market for
score or more of new common stocks
brought out under investment house
and bank auspices in the last six
months. Meanwhile, the outlook for the
strictly investment business begins to
look brighter than it has in some
months.

Projects for new railroad extensions
in the United States. most of them
prepared by important truck line sys-
TENS now in regular operation, are
now more numerous and propose a
greater mileage of new routes than has
been under consideration for many
years. A compilation of the applications
for authority to build now pending be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shows that about 800 miles of ex-
tensions, involving a new rail invest
ment of more than $40,000000 is de-
sired by important trunk lines, omit
ting the projects submitted by local
corporations or new promotions. That
the railroad extension PROPOSALS now
advanced denote an existing era OF far
more active construction than recently
experienced Is shown by the fact that
in the entire year 1928 the commits
sion approved but TIT miles of new
railroad construction.
Much of the extension now being I'M
dertaken is in Texas, with a long stretch
in California and Oregon, and it is
possible that, owing to the competitive
characteristics of a portion of it, the
projects may be curtailed a bit by the
commission. That body is instructed by
law to prevent unnecessary duplication
OF railroad facilities. This issue is
raised sharply against a joint Great
Northern Western Pacific building plan
which calls for more than 200 miles
of new construction between Klamath
Falls, Greg, and Paxton, Calf, which
the Southern Pacific is fighting. A
Santa Fe new line, undertaken by its
Orient subsidiary, running $50 miles OF
new rail through Texas is unopposed
however. The Rock Island, seeking to
enter Fort Worth by new direct connec-
tons, proposes to build 1853 miles, the
Frisco, in somewhat the same territory
is undertaking 43 miles of extension
and a subsidiary of the Colorado 6,
Southern. which wishes to extend from
ChildreSS to Pampa, both in Texas, have
the other larger projects pending. The
balance of the mileage is made up OF
shorter bits, to the number of nearly
80, scattered all over the United States
