BONDS ARE STRONG
AS OFFERINGS DROP.
Market Advances on Decline
in New lSSueS-Trad-
ing Heavier.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 17-Bonds had
strong tone today. The market was
relieved of the pressure of liquidation
arising from income tax financing, of
the forced selling that made it's ap-
pearance last week owing to Stock Mar
ket losses and of a too heavy volume
of new capital offerings.
The dwtngling of new financing was
the most powerful factor in lifting
bond prices back on the recovery track
they have been following most of the
time since the year opened. Today's
offerings amounted to less than $780,
$1,000, and all were of a high-grade
character, calculated to move quickly.
Money rates were unchanged. Volume
was a little heavier than on Monday.
After a firm opening good buying
made its appearance in junior rail-
road, public utility and industrial is
sues. Louisiana & Arkansas SIS, for in
stance, gained 3l2 points to a level 7
points above their recent low. Other
secondary rail obligations to advance
included Rock Island 41as, Erie SIS,
Missouri-Pacific IS, Frisco A As and
4 rs, and Western Maryland As.
Dodge Brothers 6s were off over a
point but there were substantial gains
lean & Foreign Power SIS, Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit 6s Certainteed 51as,
Chile Copper SIS, Goodrich 6s, Goodyear
IS, marlborough Rapid Transit rs,
International Telephone convertible
41as, North American Co. SIS, Postal
Telegraph 5s, Texas Corporation SIS and
other bonds of like character. Inter-
national Match SIS, both the debentures
and the convertibles, were extremely
active but inclined to dip fractionally
from the tops established Monday.
Prime investment securities were
firmer. United States Government
issues were 1872 to 4-32 higher all
around. American Telephone SIS and
512S were in good demand. The high
grade rails, such as Atchison general As,
Baltimore & Ohio first As, Canadian
oational SIS. Canadian Pacific perpetual
is and Pennsylvania AIS, rose by small
fractions to their best prices on the
move. There were gains in Columbia
Gas & Electric SIS. Philadelphia Co. SIS
and Western Union SIS. Youngstown
Sheet g. Tube SIS, Standard Oil of New
Jersey SIS and other prime industrials
were unchanged to a shade higher.
Movements were wider and there were
more exceptions to the general trend in
the foreign department, but gains were
numerous. Argentine IS of all MATURE
ties, which are currently selling above
SO, had fractional advances to new
peaks for the year. Chilean IS, Chile
Mortgage Bank IS and Brazilian 615s
improved. Most other South American
bonds followed suit, though Bolivian
bonds, some of which are in technical
default, were heavy.

BONDS ARE LOWER
IN SMALL MARKET
U. S. Issues Drop to New
Low MARKS on Heavy
Offerings.
BY F. III. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 28.Bonds
were generally lower today in a small
volume of trading.
The opening was steady so far as the
list as a whole was concerned, but
United States Government issues were
offered in large blocks and declined
sharply to new low prices. Tresaury 3s,
one of the most recent Treasury ennis
sions, were quoted at close to a 16 per
cent discount, off nearly point. AS
most of the activity in Governments
was IN the newer issues, it was appar-
ent that these have not been benefited
by very thorough distribution. Other
Treasures and Liberty issues dropped
to new lows, although not so actively
depressed as the IS and 31sS.
Because of the dullneSS of trading, it
was difficult to judge the undertone of
the market. Investors were seeking to
appraise the European decision to hold
an international conference on war
debts Were it not for the uncertainty
surrounding the attitude of the United
States Government in this regard the
news would certainly be hailed as con-
Structive. Many in Wall Street take the
view that nothing will help the foreign
situation short of a substantial reduc-
ton IN war CebJS ana feparaJlOnS, ana
it has become increasingly apparent
that this cannot be effected against the
present opposition in Congress.
While German government 5l2s and
rs. PrusSian 6S, Berlin 6s, German Gen.
tral Bank obligations and other Reich
issues were higher today, the gains were
small. Similarly, British 5 l2s and Cana
dian government and railroad bonds,
which might be expected to reflect
firmer quotations for sterling and the
Canadian dollar were only slightly bet
ter. South American issues, which
would reap the least benefit, as a group,
from debt revision measures, were
heavy. japanese bonds eased.
Bonds we're steady at the opening.
Trading was IN small volume. German
government 512s and Is were fraction
ally higher, but British SIPS were a
shade lower. French issues were un-
changed.
In the domestic list few rails, such
as Erie 5s, Missouri-Pacific SIS and Ale
ghany Corporation SIS, mirrored opening
gains in railroad stocks. InduStrials
also were better. with small increases in
American l. c.. Chemical 5l2s and
Dodge Bros IS. United States Govern
ment bonds were still heavy.

RAILROAD SECURITIES
POSITION is IMPROVED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28.-One Of
the factors that has operated toward a
more favorable sentiment in rails Sc
curities is the apparent growing solici-
tude of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for the railroads in their pres
ent difficulties.
Wall Street believes this has been
evidenced in the commissions recent
suggestion for more balanced compe-
tition, its partially favorable decision in
the application Of the roads for q Is
per cent advance in freight rates, and
lastly, by its stand upholding the Lacka-
wanna's advance in committing rates.

Kindergarten classes for the
poor children in San Francisco,

had mining interests, and at other
points were established by Mrs.
Hearst and operate today as a liv-

Perhaps it is in Parent Teacher
work that Mrs. Hearst is most
widely known. She was the
originator of the plan for closer
cooperation between teachers and
the parents of their pupils.
It was in her washington nome,
February II. 1897, that the first
Parent nt-Teacher congress was held,
and she was member of the
first executive board Of the Or
ganization, which now numbers
hundreds of thousands of mem
bers in every city of the nation.
The new school is designed to
carry out the memorial idea. The
kindergarten room, which is to be
one of the finest in the country,
will contain a memorial to Mrs.
Hearst.
It is the idea of the persons be.

At the age Of .19 Mrs. Hearst

part of their married life, Mrs.
Hearst accompanied her 'hus-

Mrs Hearst began her kinder

her Kindergarten College here in
1897. The school was k2Sun in
building on K Street Northwest
opposite the site of the Franklin
Administration Building, and had
as it's purpose the training of kim

This school was in operation for
nearly 10 years and led to the
Introduction of a kindergarten
course in local public schools.
Mrs. HearSt'S interest in educa-
