Here and There

National Power and Standard
Gas were the two best-acting
utilities yesterday. This. how
ever, is no reason to buy them.
There was apparently no break
in the pressure on the others.
General Motors continues to
make more friends by its stub
born market action. But DUPONT
has more advantages. Being on
the inside isn't all its cracked"
up to be.

Warner Brothers have the stock
from 60 down, and that they
were confident the dividend
would be paid. international
Nickel looks cheap for a pull. It
should sell well about 80 before
the year is out. American Tele-
phone is reasonably priced from
an investment standpoint. 1t may
go lower, but it's hard to con-
ceive of anyone'S losing any
money in the stock at current
levels. Childs touched it's low for
the year yesterday. If it breaks
through it will be bearish sign,

The steels

The steel stocks didn't act well
yesterday. United States Steel,
Bethlehem and Republic, the three
leaders, were up with the rest
of the market but the net gains
were fractional. These may indi-
cate another disappointing Iron
Age report tomorrow, following
the one last week. The heat has
been blamed for some of the
sloWdown in business the last
two weeks, but reopening Of the
automobile plants did not bring
the anticipated orders and speed
ing up of the steel mills. Some
letdown in tinplate demand is
being laid to the drought but this
is probably exaggerated.
Heavy volume in some Of the
high-grade railroads when the
market cracked Friday was at
first believed to be strong-box
liquidation due to unsatisfactory
earnings. The sharp rally in the
best rails yesterday, however, now
makes Fridays selling look like
a bear raid. The average trader,
gone sour on the carriers, is in
clined to overlook the fact hat
the rail earnings reflect the busi-
ness situation and that they will
improve when industry speeds up.

Why No Treaty Navy?

The Nations eyebrows will be raised
over revelations before the House Naval
Affairs Committee yesterday by Ad-
miral William V. Pratt, Chief Of Naval
Operations He told the committee that
he doubts whether the United States
Navy in 1886 will be even as large as
the London limitation treaty provides
and contemplates that it shall be by
that time.
Why? The American delegation went
to England last Winter to barter, and If
necessary, to battle, for parity with the
British feet. Secretary Stimson and
his colleagues. by dint of patience and
persistence, achieved that objective.
They came home with the right to ex-
pand our naval establishment to the
size of the most powerful Navy afoat,
The right was to be exercised during
the next six years, at the end of which
time the sea powers are to confer again.
Are we to do nothing with the parity
for which we so determinedly con-
tested? Is it to be paper, not steel,
parity? Are we to fill the seas with
blueprint ships instead of vessels
mounting guns and carrying armor?
Was our diplomatic success at London
never intended-to be anything but a
parchment triumph?
The country is entitled to ask these
questions in the light of Admiral Pratt's
startling testimony before Chairman
Britten's committee. Doubtless there is
an answer to them. 1t will be worth
hearing. The average American, sur
veying the disordered state of the world
in both hemispheres, is not likely to
reach the conclusion that this is the
time for the United States to shelve the
advantages it secured in the London
limitation pact.

or art, as of almost everything else,

10 Mr.. Average Citizen, whose favorite
slogan is, II don't know anything about
art, but know what like" and to the
skilled and highly trained artist himself.
The issue never can be settled, but 1t
can be clarified, and one of the means
of attaining this result is by the hold
ing at stated intervals of art exhibits,
along either general or special lines, by
art institutions OF recognized standing,
such as the Corcoran biennial exhibits
of the work of contemporary American
painters in oils.
Such displays inevitably bring forth
praise, blame, argument and even ardent
condemnation, but they invariably bring
about more knowledge, just as do auto
mobile shows and other industrial ex-
hibits. Too often is the underlying pur-
pose of such an event as the current
Corcoran Biennial either misunderstood
or lost sight Of, although on each occa-
sion the institution tries its utmost to
make it plain. In the "Foreword" of the
catalogue thereof, which it is probable
that many spectators, in their eagerneSs
to be either thrilled or shocked, may
not have read, It Is stated that the aim
of the gallery ofacials is to present to
the public an exhibition which "accu-
rately reflects the trend OF contemporary
painting in this country, which Illus

A Fine Woman FLYER.

Miss Ruth Nichols, the American avi-
atrix, has set a fast transcontinental
mark for others of her sex to shoot at
In fact, Capt. Frank Hawks. the worlds
best known speedster of the sky, may
have to look to his laurels. For Miss
Nichols in actual flying time was only
an hour behind Hawks in the twenty
Capt. Hawks record Of twelve hours and
twenty-five minutes is naturally more
impressive because he few the entire
distance In one day. but Miss Nichols,
who, incidentally, chopped more than
eight hours of the previous woman's
record, stepped along" while she was
in the air to hang up the new mark of
thirteen hours and twenty-five minutes.
Miss Nichols flight was one-stop
affair and, although that stop was an
overnight one, 1t detracts none from the
credit due her. She made the distance
from Los Angeles to Wichita in seven
hours and one minute, in the face of
unfavorable weather conditions. Early
yesterday morning she took off from
the Kansas city and made one Of the
fastest flights, man or woman, on rec
ord to New York, setting her Lockheed-
Vega, Wasp-motored ship down at
Roosevelt Field in six hours and twenty
minutes. Her speed from coast-to-
coast was slightly less than two hun
dred miles an hour
Miss Nichols feat proves conclusively
that given a fast plane, adequate in
struments and fair weather conditions,
a good woman flyer will rank well UP
with the best of the male pilots. Women
naturally lack the endurance Of men,
but when it is realized that Miss
Nichols drove her fast ship without a
stop for hops of six and seven hours,
it would appear that she can stand COM
parison even in this respect. Her ac-
complishment should be an inspiration
to others Of her sex.

form, and when they drank denatured
alcohol they became blind or sought
repose in the nearest cemetery. This
Government was therefore accused of
poisoning alcohol, the implication being
that the poisoning was undertaken in
the hope of trapping unlawful drinkers
and Furnishing them by death from
poison. The science of chemistry was
apparently baffled for time in the
task of finding substitute denaturant
causing death. Sometime ago the prac-
tice was adopted of denaturing indus
trial alcohol with "aldehol," which was
described as tasting like burnt crank
case drippings," but which would rot
cause death.
Now science has produced new
marvel, a denaturant that tastes like
a mixture of old eggs and garlic. This,
it is announced, will BE- substituted
for poisonous wood alcohol These who
drink the elixir will not necessarily
face death Whether they will face
the neighbors remains to BE- seen.
1t is just as we'll that the Govern
ment has dropp2d wood alcohol ss a
denaturant. A few tragedies may thus
be prevented. a few lives saved, which
makes it w3rth while. There may be
some thirsty souls who will be willing
to undergo the ordeal of swallowing
a mixture that tastes like old eggs
and garlic If so, let them drink in
peace. They have chosen their own
punishment.
