REGISTRAT TION CLOSES SATURDAY

1t will be some time before we have to
mention this registration business again
after this last reminder that Saturday IS
the final day for registration of those
wishing to vote at the general election on
November 4.
Under the law, registration closes one
month before an election.
Citizens who have not registered since
the first of the year, or who have changed
their voting precinct since that time, are
required by law to register before they
may vote at the election.
Newspapers, service clubs, educational
institutions and civic organizations of va
rious kinds unite to encourage registra-
ton. There is much they can do, but in
the final analysis, the actual registra-
ton is up to the voter.
Good citizens will not overlook the duty
of registering. If you have not registered
already, do SO before Saturday night, at
the court house Or at several convenient
places in the city where special registers
have ben provided.

STOCKS IRREGULAR

Exchange Closes With Ad-

Motors Active.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Stocks were
turned over in large volume in todays
short session-the Exchange closing at
1880 o'clock out of respect to former
President Taft-with preponderance
of advances, but with enough declnes
to give the appearance of irregular1ty.
Motor stocks were leaders on the up
side and the merchandising shares were
the group most sensitive to pressure.
Profit-taking went on in pool issues side
by side with operations for the rise In
stocks newly brought to market atten-
ton.
General Motors.
It was General Motors that was
picked for leadership in the automobile
iist-moreover, designed to command
respect for the move. General Motors
had been strong on Monday, especially
in the late trading. 1t opened today on
a block of 10000 shares at 4412, which
was the high of the recovery, and during
the first hour sold only fractionally I'M
der the best of the year.
Packard continued its advance into
new high ground also on heavy trans
actions. Dupont made new high
with General Motors and in stocks as
ISOLATED in one way or another with
the industry there was active specula-
ton for the rise, as in Checker Cab
and Thinker Roller Bearing. Gains in
all of these were increased by the TAX
ing in of short contracts, although
there was no reason to believe the short
interest was seriously alarmed.
Standard Oil of New Jersey sold up a
point or so, stimulating the other oils.
Atlantic Refining went to new 1880

and General Asphalt were strong. But,
as with the motors, there was no news
to account for the more favorable at

result of professional efforts to engage
