former on he stage. If the actors
have mixed a little of the New
Orleans French with the Partisan,
it merely tends to give variety to
production which, from all appear
ances, is intended merely for laugh
ing purposes.
The most interesting development
is in the fact that, while other
writer's have employed linguistic
features as incidents of a plot, Mr..
Wodehouse makes the plot incidental
to several lines of clever conversa-
ton.
The story is from the pens of
Dale van Every and Arthur Freed,

opening scene to the closing incident

been interrupted from time to time

The general mother house of the
Sisters of Mercy now is located about
six miles outside of Baltimore at Mercy
Villa. The national governing body OF
the order is expected to move to the
new location next week, according to
the mother general. They will occupy
the house which formerly was occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston. The mother

a house of studies there shortly to &C
commodate the sisters now studying at
Catholic University.

Lancashire Cotton Industry Strike
Threatens 100000 Men-Work-

MANCHESTER, England, January g.
There seemed possibility today that
the threatening strike in the Lancashire
cotton industry might be averted. Rep
resentatives of weavers and mill owners
were in conference this morning and it
was understood that they were expected
to reach some compromise,
Earlier this week the weavers threat
ened strike affecting 100000 men on
January S. The point at issue is the
owners demand that each weaver take
over approximately double the number
of looms now operated. They offered
substantial wage increase, but the
weavers refused the demand on the
ground that the proposed system would
throw many men out of work.

REDUCTION IN STEEL
OUTPUT IS REPORTED
Specifications From Motor Industry
Recede, Says Weekly Iron
Age Review.
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April IA slight re-
duction in steel output during the past
week is reported today by the trade
magazines.
Specifications from motor car build
ers have receded and the operations of
mills making fiat-rolled products have
been affected adversely, the Iron Age
reports. This setback is not regarded as
signifying anything more than exag-
gerated caution, as April output of motor
vehicles for this country and Canada
promises to total 100000 to $50, 900
units, as compared with an estimated
production of 275, 900 to 500 900 In
March. Further seasonal gains seem
probable in May.
The keynote of the situation is that
automobile makers are taking nothing
for granted, in some cases readjusting
factory operations every seven days. as
reports come in from the retail trade.
Steel estimates the decline in output
at l. per cent, leaving the industry at
approximately SIS per cent Of capacity.
Certainly there is no lack of confidence
among promoters of large projects, the
magazine says in recalling number of
large contracts recently awarded for
a variety of construction.
Presumably moderate and snall-Si7e
consumers would be equally willing to
cover II they had definite requirements.
With purchases of railroad equipment
negligible, the automobile industry as
whole-despite marked activity by Ford
and Chevrolet-findS 1t difficult to at
tain q faster gain, and with farm tn-
plement production extremely slack,
there is no incentive TO cover.

NEW YORK, April .-Notwithstand-
ing early liquidation in stocks and a
confused and uncertain general business
outlook, today's bond market held firm
ly to price levels and in some cases,
due to a large reinvestment inquiry,
made progress.
Bond interest payable today, as COM
piled by Standard Statistics, totaled
1898, 2s0. 1856, compared with $17s, O0O, 900
last month, $4,000, 900 in February

half of today's total consisted Of in

Governments in favor of short-term
paper and Treasury certificates,
The indication by the Treasury that
more short-term financing would be
done on April is was another reason
for the holding of funds. AS a conSe-
quence, money rates were easier. with
90-day time money quoted as low as
II per cent in the outside market,
though the official rate continued at
ia to 2 per cent.
The trend of the reinvestment de-
mand was plainly visible in the better
grade of corporate bonds. American

The last named is the recently offered

dicate's firm bid for all offerings at
100. Large blocks of this bond changed
hands at 100
Another notable feature was heavy
buying of Canadian Government issues.
One loan, the SIS of 1881, matured to-
day. but provision had already been
made for its refunding. Other issues
such as the 413s of 1885, SIS of 1852 and
the As of 1860 were pushed UP frac-
tonally to new tops. Similarly, bonds
