INITIATION BIG
ISSUE, SAYS
HANEY
Hesitation Of Investors on
Entering Market Is Laid to
Fear of 0Ver-StimuIation
BY LEWIS HANEY

Director NeD York University
Bureau OF Business Research
The stock market moved un-
certainly last week. 1t first fell
and then recovered a good part
of the loss. But the close was
nearly two points below a week
ago. Domestic bonds lost 50 dur.
ing the week.
The condition of hesitation Is
emphasized by the very low vol
ume of trading, only six million
shares changing hands, compared
with II million in the preceding
week.
Awaiting Developments
The immediate cause of this
uncertainty is readily found in
the number of important develop
ments pending and their incalcu-
liable nature.
These include the English elec.
ton, the conference with France,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's decision on railway rates.
the operations of the bank
credit pool, and Congressional
sentiment concerning taxation
and regulation of utilities, banks,
etc.
If these were the only prob.
lens, however, one might predict
that there would be no sustained
advance in equities, and that
somewhat lower prices would yet
be seen for the leading stocks.
Initiation Big Issue
But there is another great is
sue which is now taking shape.
That is the issue of initiation.
1t is still too soon to predict
that initiation will get us. But the
move is gathering strength and
I think it at least a $3.50 bet
that it will make considerable
progress.
So be on your guard. If fur.
ther progress" of this sort ap-
pears, turn your money into
stocks, sell your best bonds, and
get into the initiation balloon.
Once released, it would take US
up to the rarified atmosphere
of 1929 before the final crash.

Olive Always Symbol
of Richness and Peace

The wood of the olive tree is
strong and durable, though hard to
work, and takes a beautiful finish
when polished. BY divine com
mand the two cherubs above the
ark of the covenant, and other dec
oratiOns Of the first temple were
made by SOlomon's workmen of
olive wood. as were also some of
the pillars. doors and posts.
All was symDolical in that glori-
Gus temple and no doubt the use
of olive wood was not without ref
erence to the prosperity and rich
ness of which the olive was a sym
Dol, as well, of course, as the peace
which it has represented ever since
the days of Noah.
No other Oil than that of the
olive is referred to in the sacred
Scriptures, although it is certain
that the people of the Holy land
were well acquainted with mineral
oil, which is found plentifully in
the lower Jordan valley.

Determined Youth Ran
This "Ghost" to Earth

The natives who inhabit Illoios
Norte, the most northern province
of the island of LuZon, Philippine
islands. live in mortal terror of a
ghost, seen at night in a marsh
which borders the rice fields. This
particular ghost, according to re-
ports, carries a light of some sort.
and travels at great speed. No Fill
ipino will venture near the spot.
An American government teach
er, an athletic young fellow. fail
ing to induce any native to accom-
pany him, went one night alone into
the marsh. After a short time the
light appeared in the form of a ball
of fire which hung low over the
ground and moved away as he fol-
lowed 1t.
This game led the determined
young man farther into the rice
field, and into deeper mud and wa
ter. Finally. after many such at
tempts to solve the mystery, he de-
cided to run it down. After a long
zigzag chase, requiring all the speed
he could attain under such con-
ditions, he caught up with badly
wfnded wild hog, its snout covered
with the phosphorescent mud rooted
up from the marsh.-Kansas City

Famous Scottish Scholar

James Crichton, commonly called
the Admirable Crichton," was the
son Of Robert Crichton, lord advo-
cate of Scotland in the reign of
Mary and James VI, and of Eliza
beth, daughter of Sir James Stew
art of Beath. through whom he
claimed royal descent. He was
born probably at Eliock, in Dunn
friesshire. in 1860, and when ten
years old was sent to st. Saliva
doris college, St. Andrews, where
he took his B. A. in 1914 and his
NJ. A. in 1915. That he displayed
considerable classical knowledge,
was a good linguist, a ready and
versatile writer Of verse, and,
above all, that he possessed an as
tonishing memory. seems certain,
not only from the evidence Of his
own time but from the fact that
even Joseph Scaliger speaks Of his
attainments with the highest praise.
The epithet admirable" (admirabil-
is) for Crichton first occurs in John
Johnston's Heroes Scott" (16O3).

The Dark ages covered the pc
riod from the fall of the western
Roman empire in 475 A. D. to the
revival of learning on the discovery
of the Pandects at Amalfi. Italy. in
1150. The PaDdects are a collec-
tion of laws Systematically ar
ranged from Roman writings on ju-
risprudence, enacted by Justinian
in 533 A. D. Their discovery at
AmaIfi stimulated the study of
Roman and Greek literature. which
led to the period known as the
Classic age. During the Dark ages
masses of barbarians emerged from
northern Europe and overran the
former seats of learning. Civiliza-
ton was on the decline and learn

Legislature. and several of his sugges-
tions concerning economic development
of the Philippines.
Cooperation EndarSered.
The Tribune, Filipirp newspaper
published in English SAID "the Gov
ernor Generals annual message aroused
so much unfavorab'e comment that the
feeling at the Legislature, which up
until late yesterday was one OF CO.
operation with the Chief Executive, was
in peril of radical change"
Gov. Gen. Davis, in his message SAID:
"Despite the fine record made by the
last Legislature, one local custom Is
open to serious criticism, namely, the
eo-called Sine Die session. During the
two years l have been here, 281 bills
were passed on two legislative days.
The result is hasty, ill-conSidered, often
illegal measures. Eighty-elght per cent
of the bills 1 have been reluctantly
compelled to veto were passed during
the Sine Die sessions"
Opposed to Road Plan.
Concerning the public works appro-
priations, the Governor declared, hap,
hazard, piecemeal unco-ordlnated ROAD
building has wasted millions OF pesos
in the past. Efficiency, economy ana
business intelligence unquestionaoly de-
mand change in our system OF ap-
propriating road funds. Pork Is an I'M
sound foundation for roads"
The Governor General also advocated
the repeal of antitrust laws, private
ownership of communications, govern

and scientific agricultural methods as
a means of getting the Philippines
through the depression and on the road
to commercial freedom.
