When the last local freight tar Tiff No. 16-A was issued 1t marked the first time dogs had made the index Up to then the poocnes travelled as excess baggage, put now it is big time for them. Il they only knew, the chances are they would take a chunk out or somebody's heel, only higher up toward the neck.
 The Glory Hole, two and a hal1 miles north of Mckinley Park, ana first given that name in The Gateway three years ago, and which has been adopted by all the railroad men, has been made an asset by the railroad, where all tourist trains stop and the tourists get out, crane their necKs to see the bottom and throw Tn rocks and giggle. The Glory Hole caused the railroad to shift It's tracks a number of time, and when no longer able to shift any more, a detour had to be shoyeled out through the hill, It has been a big expense to the railroad and, is said to have cost more than 8 half doezn right-of-way men their jobs. The Glory Hole got it's start in 1924, at the time of the big fire, which is believed to have been started by 3 railroad bull setting fire to two cabins be- longing to some bootleggers, and five miles south of there.

 The large Geological Survey party that worked in the Park the past summer have disbanded. They had A bucking cayuses, of which seven were given to the railroad, four to Malcolm Elliott and three to Edmunds, for saddle critters.
 At the recent fair at Fairbanks, Mckinley Park stole a march upon the Panama and Matanuska valleys by grabbing off first prize on wild hay. Also got two first prizes on silver foxes.

 Alaskans have been handed new game to while away, an idle hour. Blanks with an affidavit attached have been sent in to a lot around here who had mostly savings accounts in Outside banks that recently went belly-up. The depositors have only their pass books, many of which have not been posted for several years, so that interest has not been credit ed, but are required to make an iron-clad affidavit what the face value of their deposit is, just as if the bank didn't know thing about bookkeeping. One Park em- ployee played safe by sinking his dough in three Outside banks, and will be lucky if his dividends balance the cost of his affidavlts. Nearly all have lost from a half a day to day and a half work, travelling expenses, etc., to prove their accounts. An old sock would not require so much red tape.

Trade Revival on Restoration
of Confidence.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9Th e
greatest period Of prosperity the United
States has ever enjoyed" was predicted
Yesterday by Samuel M. Vauclain.
chairman of the board of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, in addressing the
annual convention of the American
Railway Magazine Editors Association
Supposed politicians. and they are
not even good politicians" said Vauc-
lain, who are ranting up and down
the length Of the country with their
violent attacks. denouncing public utili-
ties. denouncing all interests, including
railroads and other industries In which
people have their money invested, have
helped to bring about lack Of conf
dence.
THE only way the world can be re-
adjusted today is to regain the same
confidence in the future that Washing
ton and his handful Of loyal troops must
have shown at Valley Forge while wait
ing for Spring to come.
Our present stress has been brought
about entirely by lack of confidence, the
lack of confidence of citizens in each
other and Of industries in each other
and also by these supposed politicians !"
Vauclain paid tribute to w. w.
Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, as a railroad executive and
said that Atterbury "has been immeas-
ureably maligned by the Governor of
this State, maligned to the very limit
where a man could stand 1t with COM
posture.

Week End Realizing Sales Cut
Further Into Recent

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Further profit
taking came into the stock market to-
day and reduced the net gains that had
been made between the low prices Of
Tuesday and the top level Of the recov-
cry on Friday.
United States Steel common. which
had had q rally of 11h points during
the week, was of points from its best.
Atchison was down 7 points after raj
lying % points, Union Pacific had a
loss Of 5 points after a 23-point gain,
American Telephone 81 Telegraph
erased about one third of its rise OF II
points, and New York Central points
OF a 12-point maximum gain. These
changes were entirely within reason,
inasmuch as the weeks rally had been
one Of the sharpest of the year.
Prices steadied up somewhat when
the early selling had been completed,
but the market was intensely dull, and
its thinness In certain sections was
natural phase of this week end specu-
lative lethargy.

payments centered the attention OF

BEAR MARKETS OFTEN
DISAPPEAR RAPIDLY

The American Institute Of Finance,
Boston, says:
I'VE have reached o stage where
consideration should be given to the
normal turn from a bear to bull
market and the historical characters
tics of the early phases Of bull markets
THE general attitude Is that there
will be plenty Of opportunity to buy
after it is apparent that both the
stock market and the business trend
have definitely turned upward.
"A consideration Of past bull mar
kets, however, does not indicate that
this will be SO.
"A chart of the movements in IL
bull markets, beginning with that of
1879, shows that on the average 25
per cent of the entire bull market is
covered in the first three to four
months following the end Of the bear
market.
This evidence covering q period of
So years indicates that it is not pos
sible to await complete evidence of a
definite up trend in business and buy
securities close to their low levels Of
the bear market"

Sees General Improvement.

William Montgomery, for the past SO
years president of the Acacia Mutual
Life Association, has just completed a
study of the lapsation record Of the
country since January, and from the
result feels sure that business in Wash
ington as we'll as all over the country,
Is on the uptrend. For several months
the lapsation record has shown improve
ment while new life insurance has re-
vealed substantial gains. The Acacia
official considers both these indices are
having very vital bearing on the whole
economic situation.
During the month Of May the COM
pany's production was greater than for
any other month SO far this year.
President Montgomery reports. This
fact Is Of interest since the company

Federal Reserve Membership

The decline in the membership Of
the Federal Reserve system shown in
its Official publication, is a normal
result of changes that have been TAX
ing place in the banking structure for
several years, says the American
Bankers Journal.
For the greater part it IS the refiec-
ton of a trend in banking as a whole
and not an indication Of a determine
ton on the part of banks to get along
without the membership privileges.
On March Is there were 1881 active
member banks, 1888 of which were
nationals and 998 State banks. The
loss in membership during March was
38 and the total loss during the first
three months of the calendar year was
168 members.
Suspension Of banks is. of course, q
factor in causing the decline, but there
are others. In March there was net
loss of II members through suspen-
Sions: a loss of through voluntary
Withdrawals and the merger and con-
solicitation movement accounted for the
remainder.

YIELDS COMPARED
! ON LOCAL STOCKS
Dividends Have Held Well
Since Wall Street Drop.
Shook Up Securities.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Yields on securities, although only
one factor in sound investing, are
gripping much more attention than
they did two years ago, making the re-
turns on local issues both timely and
interesting, At present quotations
around Sc, Capital Traction yields Ill
per cent. Norfolk g. Washington
Steamboat Co., selling at $40, yields 7.46
per cent. The yield on Potomas Power
issues is also well up, the per cent
preferred at 113 yielding sat and the
SD per cent preferred. quoted around
ITO. giving return of 4.95 per cent.
Washington Gas Light stock at JIG
yields $40 per cent. Washington Rail
way e. Electric common. which last sold
at 425, gives a return of only LES per
cent. while the preferred stock of the
same corporation, selling around 9814
means yield of sos per cent. While
the yield on railway common seems
rather small, most of the present hold
ers of the stock paid very much less for
it than the price at which 1t Is now
quoted. Consequently the advance IN
the stock gives them a far greater pront
than does the dividend.
Among the insurance stocks listed on
the local Exchange, the highest yield Is
on Washington Consolidated Title Co.
preterred7 per cent. 1t sells at %.
Columbia Title Insurance Co. stock
yields 476 per cent, American Fire In
surance 4.29, Corcoran Fire Insurance
333. Firemen's Insurance Co. 4, Nation
al Union Fire Insurance and Real Es-
tate Title Insurance Co. 6.25 per cent.
Good Yields on Other Stocks.
The Yields on most Of the local bank
stocks are naturally lower than on some
other issues, although many Of them
yield we'll above 5 per cent. The high
est bank stock yield Is now paid by the
National Bank of Washington, while
the most conservative return comes on
National Savings G. Trust Co. stock,
which is selling at $448 share.
Yields vary most in the miscellaneous
stocks on the Exchange. The best yield
is paid by Real Estate Mortgage &
Guaranty fredericksburg at 6l2 and
returning II per cent. Next comes Dis
trict National Securities preferred.
Many others yield well over per
cent. On the other hand. the most
conservative return in the miscellaneous
list is on Emerson's Bromo-Seltzer A,
which pays 6 per cent fiat, at $50 a
share.
During the long decline in Wall
Street, local stocks have held up well.
But some have recorded moderate de-
clineS. which. of course. was to be ex-
pected. AS they have sold off fraction
ally. or a point or so at time. the
yields have made proportionate moves
up the scale. The complete list OF
yields on local issues have made an
almost remarkable record in maintain
ing their dividends since the 1929 Wall
Street tumble.

Here's slimming costume slip
that Paris has designed on the lines
of the new frock.
The interesting cut of the mould
ed bodice extending into a deep
point at the front, proves a par
ticularly slenderizing feature and
gives length. The skirt being cir
cular, falls so gracefully beneath
the frock With similar circular far
ing hemline.
The hem of Ihe slip may be rolled
by hand, which gives it a French
finish or it may be finished profess
sionally with picot-edge. Lace edg-
ing provides a dainty trim which
may also trim the upper edge Of the
bodice.
1t can be made easily in an hour
or possibly two. And the cost will
prove surprisingly small.
Style No. 228 may be had in sizes
IA, IS, 18, 20 years, SO and 3S inches
bust.
Crepe de chine and fiat crepe silk
are popularity used for the excellent
service they give.
Size Is requires 2lz yards IS or
