RESTRAINT MOOD
 APPEARS IN CURB
Renewal of Short Selling Also
 Makes Its Appearance

New York, Sept. LP)-The curb market was in a hesitant mood to- day. Opening irregularly lower, prices recovered as efforts were made to swing the list back into the Monday advance that had been checked by profit-taking, but the gains were small and traders seem- ed disposed to realize quickly. There was also a renewal of short selling.
 United Gas was active and buoy ant, leading the utilities with a rise of about a point. Changes in the other power light and natural gas shares varied fractionally on both sides of the Monday close. Duke Power broke several points In the early trading, only to regain most of the loss. American Super power, Bond SS Share, United Light "A" and other prominent stocks held steady.
 Oils maintained their activity but failed to develop much of a trend. Cosden was under pressure, making another new low. TeXon was sup ported for point gain.
 Industrial leaders were quiet, and the more volatile specialties displayed little or no animation. Ford Motor of Canada American Cyanamid, Niles Bement Pond and Mead Johnson turned over in small blocks.
 The new Diamond Match shares, both common and preferred, which are being traded on a when issued basis, remained around yesterdays levels.
 United States & Overseas met a little proft-taking. Other investment trusts eased slightly, apparently re- necting disappointment over the general markets failure to show much strength.
 Money was firm and call loans again renewed at per cent, on this market.

WAR, AUTOMOBILES
 CAUSE OF INSANITY
French Official, Alarmed by h.
 crease, Studies Situation

Paris, Sept g JP) - Hectic Parisian life and bitter memories of the World War are driving so many French people into insane asylums that the French Govern ment has suddenly found itself with more crazy people on it's hands than it can accommodate.
 Steadily since the war there has been a continual increase in the number of persons admitted 10 mental hospitals. There are S7 in sane asylums in France and they are taxed to capacity. The govern ment is considering the rapid con- struction of emergency hospitals to take care of this years increase.
 The total number of demented patients for the region of Paris is now around 23,OO0, while public health officials note an alarming in cl ease in the number of new pa tients this year. The six leading hospitals in and around Paris are crowded to the doors and to take care of new and pressing cases some of the older patients are moved fo provincial institutions for confinement.
 The assistants of N. Desire Fer ", Minister of Public Health, have been studying the reasons for the alarming increase in the number O. demented patients every year. Their studies lead them to believe the greater majority of mental de- rangement is caused from too fast and hectic a life, or from worries and fears growing out of the war. Several doctors believe that modern Paris traffic is partially re- sronsible for the mental condition o' some Of the asylum inmates. Harassed throughout life by wildly flashing taxis, the day eventually arrives, declare these doctors that something snaps in their brains.
 Every, day in France 10 persons are killed in automobile accidents figure which has led Premier Andre Tardieu to issue strict or ders that driving permits must be taken away from persons. unfit to conduct an automobile. Statistics show that only 1926 persons were killed by automobiles throughout France in 1924, while last year the total was 3,717.

UNOFFICIAL POET AMUSES COMMONS Makes Parliament Laugh When
 It Gets 0Yerheated

London, Sept. - The British house of commons, discussing some phase of the London naval treaty, was sitting all night, enduring sultry heat and bad air, suffering from rag ged tempers and tangled nerves. Suddenly the air was cleared because James Sexton handed it a laugh.
 He got up, with his solemn Irish face, and recited some satirical vers- es he had just composed at the ex- pense of one of the leaders of the house. It was Jimmy" in his best form. It was Jimmy" unofficial poet laureate of the commons, doing what nobody else can do. For he is "Tatters M. P.." whimsical jester in verse, expected by friends and foes alike to relieve the tension when passions ri.e to the boiling point.
 A Selt-Made Man
 There is nobody like him in the American congress. He is one of those queer, successful figures that seem to be thrown up only by the British labor movement. He is a graduate of the University of Hard Knocks which is another way of saying that this man. who has writ ten verse, novels and plays, is self educated.
 He was born in Newcastle "A years ago of Irish parents. The child lived in slum home, which was one of the headquarters of the Fenians, and often saw illegal firearms being slowed away under the planking of the bedroom. At the mature age of nine he quit-school and went to work in a glass factory in St. Helen's, earning the magnificent sum of S7 cents per day.
 The rest of his story is as fascin- ating as a novel. In fact, he is now writing it for a great firm of Eng fish publishers. Parts of it he told to the NEA correspondents
 At 13 I got fed up working in a glass factory. I wanted something betteH l started off on the tramp, looking for job. In those days the laws were very hard on the poor and unemployed. They are much bet ter now. But at 13 I learned that in England that:

 Bristol, Sept. g - A birth cer- tificate filed at the office of City Clerk Thomas B. Steele this morn ing says that Raymond Matthew Przygossky, son of MT. and Mrs. Vincent Matthew Przygossky of 1S Edgewood street, was born on September S1. 1880.
 Which goes to show the cal- endar makers that they have made grave mistake. Accord ing to the physician who signed the certificate there must be 31 days in this autumnal month = or else the child was born in a leap year of 31-day September.
 Local date statisticians will probably attempt to dope out the puzzle in the hopes of finding out whether or not the length of the month has been increased a day. If born on that day, MT. Przy- gossky will undoubtedly never grow old.
