Naughty Impulse That
Was Fooled by ChivaIry

Among the good stories told by Miss
Jane Harrison, the famous lecturer In
classical archaeology at Newman col
lege, Cambridge, England, in her auto
biography, "reminiscences Of Stu
dents Life" is this one:
Miss Harrison was for time q
magistrate, and on one occasion there
appeared before the bench certain
prisoner who, it seems, had used pecu-
liarly foul language. Instead Of re-
peatlng 1t the clerk had had a typed
copy made, which was circulated on
the bench, Miss Harrison says:
"The unknown to me has always
had an irresistible lure, and all my
life have had a curiosity to know
what really bad language consisted Of.
In the stables at home had heard an
occasional 'd-n' from the lips Of a
groom, but that was not very inform
ing.
"Now was the chance of my life.
The paper reached the old gentleman
next me. l had all but stretched out
an eager hand. He bent over me in
fatherly way and said:
"T am sure you will not want to
see this

years of sex subservience had done
their work. summoned my last

Origin of "Size"

"sedere" is a Latin verb from the
same root as our ito sit" and has the
same meaning. With the addition Of
lad" meaning ITO" we have "adsiders"
or "assidere," meaning literally ito sit
to-" From this comes the medieval
law-word "asslsa," which has several
meanings, Of which the most impor-
tant is "a sitting of Judge" preserved
in our "asslze." The French form
'Tassise," meaning, "the asslze," was
probably mistaken for ia size" The
latter word meant first, illegal regula-
tion by Judge sitting In assize," then
the thing regulated particularly weights
nltude, and 50 at last simply "bigness"

Frankfort Long Gre.. ci.u

Since the great trade routes of the
Middle ages, Frankfort-on-the-Mai
has played one Of the most important
perts In the commercial activities Of
all Europe, and for many years was
the undlsputed mistress of the interna-
uonal money market. However, her
simplicity and quiet charm have not
been affected by her eminent position
In international affairs. She reflects
her ancient walls and towers In the
clear waters of the Main with a mod
est dignity becoming a beloved mon

The French revolution was mainly
the result of the oppression Of the
French people, who rose in revolt
against the extravaganza and tyranny
of the kings and mobiles. In addition
they had no adequate representation
in the legislature. The taxes were
heavy and in 1777 there were as many
as 100000 beggars in France
Alarmed by the increasing signs Of
unrest in the country, the king and
son Of the mobiles began to gather
the army near Paris. This so enraged
the people of Paris that they stormed
the bastille an July IA, 1850. This Is
regarded as the beginning Of the rev.
olution.

In Old Celtic Lands

OF all the interesting trips in
France, Brittany should be included,
especially the south coast, with its sea
resorts. This is the land of the "Par-
dons" those semireligious and semi
pagan festivals, when the villagers
don the costumes and play the cere-
monies which go back to the days Of
the dolmen and menhir of their Wild
moorlands. MISUNDERSTANDING
st. Nazaire is the route to follow,
and the great Pardon centers are at

don in Brittany is held on the last Sat
urday and Sunday in August. These

DECLINE IN STOCK
| MARKET EXTENDED
Renewed Pressure on List
Results in Further Price
ReceSSiOns.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-The
week in the stock market closed with
prices still declining. Rails again were
the leaders on the downward move
ment, but number of important in
dustrials, among them American Can
and United States Steel, also went
to new lows.
Trading was in small volume, but
slightly heavier in the second hour,
when pressure was greatest. It was
nothing in the outside news that pro-
duced the fresh liquidation but the
action of the market itself, with no
sign of a rally after SO long decline.
Railroad earning statements for Oc-
tober were distressing enough, but no
one had expected anything different.
1t seemed farfetched to tie the stock
market up to the Manchurian Situa-
ton. About the only thing that prices
were rejecting was the prevailing mood
of disbursement.
Railroad stocks slipped eff easily to
their new lows. New York Central
broke through 90 for the first time III
the history Of the present company,
where it would seem to have discounted
the most unfavofable dividend action
possible. Atchison similarly scld through
80, with Baltimore & Ohio below "a,
Union Pacific around 80, Pennsylvania
around % and Southern Pacific at 81
all of them at the lowest for many
years. There was no real resistance
anywhere in the railway group.
For a brief period early in the ses-
sion industrials held well, but they
gave way when the rails broke. United
States Steel was pushed down a couple
of points to a new low and American
Can accompanied it. Western Union
was the weak spot in the utilities.
Pullman went off with the rails. Radio,
once so great a speculative favorite,
changed hands under So share.
American Telephone g. Telegraph and
General Motors met better support.
Brokers reported a good deal Of switch
ing into General Motors from other
stocks with less promising prospect.
The twelfth consecutive decline in
brokers' loans, taking the total down
$4,000 900 in a week and the lowest
since october 81, 1921, went unnoticed
just as during the imitation era sue
ceSsive increases were ignored. And
yet week by week the market draws
nearer to a cash basis. There was
no margin selling today. There may
have been liquidation of the forced
variety, but 1t was not in stocks car
ried in brokers loans.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November 28-Bro-
kerage houses today saw little prospect
Of a definite change in the character
of the stock market pending a really
constructive development. Weakness Of
bonds has harmed confidence, in the
opinion of many observers.
Hornblower g. Weeks-With the for
eign and rail situations still causing
apprehension and with no signs of any
real improvement in business, we would
defer new commitments except on a
long-term investment basis until such
time as the market by its own action
indicates that the bottom has been
reached.
Hamershlag. Borg e. Co.-Although
technical rallies are probable, we see
little incentive for an upturn OF real
consequence in the stock market until
some important good news develops
Redmond g. Co.-The short interest
undoubtedly has increased substantially
in the past month, but the restrictions
in force against bear trading, coupled
with the seemingly relentless pressure
against many issues, would indicate
that the market also was being called
upon to absorb a fairly large volume OF
real liquidation. some of it probably Of
a HGCHoSlIOuo OllIll IL Id dP-
parent that this liquidation is COM
pleted it is rather futile to predict how
much further the reaction will carry,
but we see little incentive in buying
stocks here unless one is prepared, II
necessary to see some Of them at sub
stantially lower levels.
Edward B. Smith g. Co-Stocks with
long and consistent records as divi-
dend payers have been forced to reduce
or omit dividends, and it appears that
the market will be beset by further
unpalatable news of this kind. A GER
tain justifable apprehension exists
that the nearby convention of Congress
will do little to contribute to the res
toration of confidence and stability now
so sorely needed. These facts, in COM
bination with other worldwide eco
nomic, banking and political uncer-
taintieS, continue to uphold our belief
that for the present, maintenance of
an entirely liquid position is both a
sound and profitable policy.

This years report has aroused I'M
usual interest among local bankers on
account of the business situation in the
more recent past On account Of con-
diti4ns during 1880 it was believed by
many bankers that the 1881 Christmas
clubs might fail to reach the 1880 pro-
portion and advance into new ground.
But the thrift wave which followed
the New York stock market crash is
still going strong. 1t has caused a
boost in savings bank deposits in Wash

has secured a special grip on the Christ
