STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN UPWARD TREND
Market Again Moves For
ward, Despite Heavy
Volume of Selling.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSH,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The stock
market pursued an erratic course today
as opposing speculative interests con-
tinued to struggle for control of the
price movement, but the main tendency
appeared to be upward. Fifty, or more,
issues moved into new high ground for
the year on gains ranging from l to 8
points, while scattering Of others sold
down to points on profit taking and
bear selling. While the volume Of trad
ing was not as large as that of yester-
day, the ticker again ran far behind the
market, the delay at the end OF the
third hour being more than 80 minutes.
Good Business News.
Two constructive business develop
mentS helped to maintain bullish en-
thusiasm. They were the report that ex-
port sales of copper yesterday were the
largest of any single day since last
September and the Iron Age Reviews
report of a small upturn in steel pro-
duction, the first since the middle of
February.
Call money renewed at 31s per cent
and was in fairly plentiful supply at
that figure. The time money market
was dull and somewhat firmer, pre-
sumably in reflection of the two in
creases In bankers acceptances yester-
day. officials of the New York Federal
Reserve intimated that they are COM
mitted to an easy money policy as a
stimulus to business, but the rise in
bankers acceptanceS leads to the belief
that no further reduction in the redis-
count rate is contemplated at this time.
Several commission houses adhere TO
the theory that the recent rise in many
issues has been too rapid, and urge a
tightening of speculative commitments
and scale buying of seasoned dividend
paying induStrialS. Extensive switching
from recent leaders to issues believed
to be behind the market accounts for
much Of the recent irregularity.
Changes Recorded.
Vanadium Steel, which has been the
spectacular individual performer ali
week, again moved over a wide range
today. The stock, which dropped from
a record high of 1241s to ia in the
last hour of trading yesterday, ran up
to 122 today and then fell back to 116
before fresh support was forthcoming
Public utilities were again in the
forefront of today'S advance. Electric
Power & Light was the spectacular
feature, crossing SO to a new high for
gain of more than 10 points. Western
Union, which has been weak on ruInors
OF new financing, jumped 8 points
Brooklyn Union Gas and American
Power & Light 3as to new top at u.s.
One block of $4,000 shares of Gen.
eral Electric changed hands at 30, fol-
lowed by further advance into new
high ground Among the many other
issues to eclipse their previous 1880
high prices were United Aircraft, Ma
tional Air Transport, Billiard Co., Inter-
national Harvester, Johns Manville,
Commercial Solvents, Mathieson Alkali,
Condo Mast, Air Reduction, Columbia
Gas and Superior Steel.

WHY NOT USE SILVER?

Evidences that the declining gold production is commenc- ing to weigh heavily on the minds of the financiers and economists continue to multi ply and it is evident that the world is facing condition which threatens the financial stability of many nations.
 Commenting on the situation at the recent annual meeting of of the American Smelling and Refining Company, H. Brown ell, vice president of the comp any, said he saw little that was encouraging in silver except that with practically all the world going on a gold basis or striving to do so, there may not be enough gold to permit this. He pointed out that half of the worlds gold now comes from the Rand mines, and that dist rict has reached its apex and in the next few years it's output will be declining. Unless im- portant new gold fields are discovered prices of commodi- ties must go down greatly, the buying of gold increase tre- mendously or else the world
 ist find another medium of exchange besides gold or de vi e much more efficient methods of using gold as a medium.
 All of which seems to uphold the once d2rided contention of the late w. J. Bryan that mon- etary stability could not be as- sured without the employment of silver on a proper ratio with gold. To which may be added the present view of such finan- cial commentators as do not fear to speak their minds that the denomination of silver by the great financial interests was one of the greatest injuries ies ever inflicted on mankind, as we'll as one of the greatest examples of financial knavery in history.

 Business men decry tardiness in those whom they employ, for that means not simply the waste of time that should be spent in work, but the failure to ba present when Opportun- ity, coming without warning, knocks peremptorily and, be- ing unanswered, summarily de- parts. Returning belated, one may listen eagerly for a repe- tition of that summons to rise, confront Destiny face to face, out it does not come. The great chance appeared unher- aided and found us wanting and went away, leaving no ad- dress with which we may com- municate.
 Opportunities come like sue cessful burglars, when we least expect them. And when we fail to see them. they promptly go where there are others with
 trimmed lamps. These others promptly seized what might have been our own, and all our boast of what we might have lone had our luck" been diff ferent are unavailing. What is luck? Most of the time it means to be in the right place at the right moment. The one who is there is the winner over one who is elsewhere. And he who is there must usually be present not simply in the phys cal sense; he must attend with all his faculties. As Shakes peare reminded us, it is of no lse to have our eyes open if "their sense is shut" A senti- nel must be at his post but he is futile if he sleeps.
 Thus to recognize and i'm prove the opportunity one must be broad awake to it with the keen edge of the senses whet- ted. The worker who brings only part of his mind to his task is not worth the whole of the pay he draws. He will miss chances not merely for him. self-those that quickly seized may promote his own fortune but for the concern that when it secured his services supposed

Success and the Breaks"

A& NNAAWaukcC JOuTuaDF
Always 1t has been bad advice to tell a boy to
trust to luck, instead Of work, and always it will be. None
the less Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, strikes a responsive note when, ask
ed Tor the great secret Of success, he answers: Bah!
It's the breakSl" For it has grown increasingly weari-

success to nothing but the fact that as boys they worked,

ways told the truth and give the other fellow a square
deal.
In an age of debunking, nothing is sacred. but here is
one thing that ought to be debunked. Mr.. Carlton says:
There are a dozen men in Our plants who could fill my
job as well as I do. But they probably won't have the
opportunity. They won't get the breaks that give them
the chance to show what they can do" That is iconoclas-
tic, 1t would be terrible If a politician said 1t: but it is
an industrial leader who says 1t, and it has a ring of
honesty.
Shall we then give up our time-tested philosophy that
says to youth, BE honest. work hard, try to make your
employers interests your own?" Not a bit of it. Mr..
Carlton doesn't suggest that those dozen men, any one
Of whom could fill his shoes, prepared himself without
hard work and faithfulness. But If some Of our great
captains OF success, solicited for the formula, are moved
by a sense Of humor not to say to the small boy or the
school teacher that they made 500, 100000 solely working
overtime and saving pennies out of day wages, their
sound advice may be listened to. And what Mr.. Carl

Today Is the
Anniversary of
GoUNoD's BIRTH

On June II, 1918, Charles Gounod,
French composer Of sacred and dra-
matte music, was born in Paris the
son of an eminent painter and en-
graver.
It was from his mother, an accom-
plished musician, that young Gounod
received his taste for music. At the
age of 18 he entered the Paris con-
servatory, where he won in his first
year the second Prix de Rome. Three
years later he won the Grand Prix de
Rome. His first appointment was as
an organist in Paris, but it was not
until he produced his opera Sappho
in 1851 that he attracted attention.
After experimenting the instruc-
ton Of singing to the communal
schools Of Paris and directing the
choral society connected with them,
Gounod wrote his noted opera, Faust,
his greatest success and one Of the
most enduringly popular operas Of the
modern stage. His next greatest sue
cess was the opera Romeo and Juliet.
Gounod wrote many beautiful
songs, including the widely known

A Floating Power House

Some months ago a severe drouth in the state Of Wash
ington reduced the supply of hydro-electric power and
threatened the electricity supply of the city of Tacoma.
BY special arrangement with the Navy department. the
big airplane carrier Lexington was locked at Tacoma
and her turbines were used to generate electricity for
the city until the crisis had passed.
Now it becomes apparent that private capital has read
a lesson in the episode. According to the Industrial Bull
letin issued by Arthur D. Little, Inc, the, New England
Public Service company, which supplies power to sea-
board Maine and New Hampshire, has spent 81, ooo. 600 in
Transforming the old cargo ship Tacoma into a floating
power house of 10000 kilowatts capacity.
This ship will be used up and down the coast. When
ever there is a shortage of power in any coast city, the
Tacoma will come in, cut in on the cityls high tension
system and begin grinding out electricity. The operating
companys power supply thus becomes highly flexible
and private industry has learned another lesson from
the federal government.

That is why Chicago is interesting. Her surprising

So, whatever they do there, they never do it by

Motorists and Freight Trains

A New Jersey motorist named Ludwig Lanther was
driving along a highway the other day when he came to
a grade crossing, blocked by a lengthy freight train
which had stopped there and apparently had no inten-
ton of moving on again. Mr.. Lanther stood it for quite
a while. Then he got out and uncoupled two of the cars.
Presently the train started up, slowly. Because it had
been uncoupled an opening appeared, and Mr.. Lanther
sped through it and went on his way.
Now the gentleman is being held on charges Of violat-
ing a state law relating to freight trains; but he pro-
tests that what he did was justified, and he'll probably
get the sympathy of a great many motorists. Any driver
who has had to fret and fume by a grade crossing while
some deliberate freight train camped in front of him
will feel a glow of fellow telling for this Jerseyite who
took matters into his own hands.
