MARKET GAINS
AFTER EARLY
LOSSES
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 QN.SD.
Industrial stocks were depressed
in the first hour today by an
other wave of short selling and
profit-taking similar to that which
blocked the bull move in the
final period yesterday.
The reaction was brought to a
close as soon as the nervous
shorts started bidding for stocks
with which to cover up their
lines, and prices Of the industrial
leaders were lacked up sharply.
U. S. Steel, which broke below
100 at the start, rallied to 184H

Professionals in Control
The market was largely in con-
troll of the professionals, with a
tapering demand from outside
sources.
Not so much was heard about
the rumored Split-up Of U. S.
Steel stock, but bulls in the stock
pointed to its mounting earnings
for proof that another stock
dividend is inevitable, sooner or
later.
Uncertainty in the copper
metals markets was reflected in
the smaller buying demand for
Anaconda, Kennecott, and other
red-metal favoriteS. General
Electric was again under fire and
sold off to 240, down II points
since the split-up announcement
was made.
The market settled down to
routine in the second hour, with
prices again showing downward
tendency. ContraSted with yes

Can't Assign Credit for
Invention of Compass


The origin Of the mariners COM
pass is obscure. By some students
the instrument was said to have been
introduced into Europe from the East.
Others say it was a Western inven.
tion. It was certainly known to Euro
pean navigators as early as the
Twelfth century. Guyot de Provins,
whose satirical "bible" is supposed to
have been completed in 1905, de-
scribed "a contrivance' Of sailors
which never deceived them.
'They have an ugly brown stone
which attracts iron," he wrote. "They
mark the exact quarter to which the
needle points, which they have
rubbed on this stone, and afterward
stuck into straw. They merely put
1t in water, in which the straw causes
it to swim; then the point turns d.
rectly toward the NORTH star, with
such certainty that it will never fail"
Guyot wrote about the compass as
If it were new thing, but other writ
ings reveal that the English in the
Twelfth century had already mounted
the needle on a pivot and so done
away with the straw and water

No Prize offered for
"Mare's Nest" Discovery

"Mare's Nest" is a phrase which we
occasionally hear and which we un-
derstand to refer to almost any sort
of discovery which upon its face
and at first sight seems to be of con-
siderable Importance, but which SUBJ
sequently is ascertained to be hoax.
BY inference, therefore. mares
nest" has acquired the meaning of
something that does not exist.
Just how the expression originated
Is not clearly established. However,
it is automatically conceded that it
was first employed over 300 years ago
by John Fletcher and that he himself
probably adapted it from an earlier
phrase, "horse's nest" which, In the
then vernacular. referred to any story
worn threadbare by constant repeti-
ton. This latter is said to have been
first used by Stanyhurst at the end
of the Sixteenth century.
The line, Hes come upon a mares
nest and is laughing at the eggs" is
frequently heard in ireland to express
derision at somebody who thinks he
has discovered something startling
when it is in fact something known
to all.-Kansas City Times.

TRAPPING SILAGE NOT NEG
ESSARY

The idea in regard to, the necessity
of tramping silage when filling the
silo is charging. During the last
war, when it was difficult to secure
labor, some of the farmers in the
West did not tramp their silage. 1t
was found that this untramped silage
kept just as well, and was as readily
eaten by livestock as the untramped
sileage was in former years. This
discovery is very important, as it
helps to reduce the cost of producing
silage and does away with the use
of one or two men at a time when
they are often difficult to secure
Where labor is available, it is
advisable to keep one man in the
silo to distribute the silage and keep
it packed around the edge. However
if the silage is very dry. or the silo
is filled in one day and there is no
opportunity for refilling, the silage
should be well tramped.
