Today's session will therefore
determine the amount of strength
that the constructive interests
can muster in order to reach
their objective. Failure to carry
the market unquestionably into
higher territory may not only
result in temporary setback, but
will give the beariSh professionals
an advantage which can be
turned into an at least temporary
downward trend.
Strength Is Genuine
Despite the lack OF business
fundamentals to support an ad-
vance at this time, a study Of
previous periods of depression
brings out that the average
length of past industrial recess
sionS has measured 80 months,
measured from valley to valley.
On this basis it would appear
that the valley of the present
depression might be made in
March, 1881. Stock prices usually
begin to discount better business
conditions at least two months in
advance. Consequently, if the
valley of this cycle lies around
March, this year, the present
underlying strength of the market
is genuine.
Trade Improvement Near
An investment authority Of
standing makes the following per
tinent observation, namely: that
every month that passes with
production around Is per cent
below normal and consumption
much better sustained, brings
definite buSineS S improvement
nearer. This consideration, taken
in conjunction with the market
action of the past six weeks, as
contrasted with constant break
ing out of liquidation in Novem'
Der and December, lends weight
to the belief we are in a slow
but definite upward turning
movement.
Radio Is Growing
After an exhaustive survey of
the radio industry, Standard Sta
tics concludes that, although
Radio and it's ramifications will
probably show further material
growth over a period of the next
several years, there is nothing IN
the near term outlook to inspire
confidence in the common stocks
of the majority of representative
units at this time. At some later
date it believes that Radio Cor
poration will probably constitute
a purchase of decided potential
ties; for the time being, how
ever, commitments are not recon-
mended.
Dupont Discussed
A careful breaking through OF
the earnings statement for 1880
of Dupont, made by prominent
advisory service, reveals that ap-
proximately $2.97 per share was
received from holdings OF Gen
eral Motors, and about 81 cents
a share from other securities. At
the same time only $1.18 a share
resulted from the company's own
operations. General Motors at
it's recent price sold for 12.7
times last years net per snare.

Pressure Of Attacks Will
Determine Future Trend
By THE SPECTATOR

The bull faction finds
itself in a particularly Stra-
tegic position as the new
week opens. Saturdays brisk
advance carried the Stan
dard Statistics index of 80
stocks into new high ground
for the year, although the
Dow-JoneS averages of 80 in
dustrialS are fractionally be-
low their peak level. The
most significant development,
however, was the broadening
out Of activity as prices were
moving up. Computing the
two-hour turnover on the
basis of a full fivehour day.
Saturdays turnover would
have been the heaviest Of
the year, approXlm mating

Members of Board of Directors
to Be Named at Public Meet
ing Monday Evening

In preparation for the annual meet
ing OF the Bismarck Girls Council
April 6 in the Association Of Com
merce rooms, when new members of
the board OF directors are to be elect
ed by delegates from mems and wom-
ems organizations of the city, the
board has released q report, the first
since the group was organized two
years ago.
Originally planned by members of
the school board, Community Chest
officials and Boy Scout workers as a
medium by which girls affairs might
be handled on somewhat the same
basis as the boys activities have been,
the council came into being at a mass
meeting held in the high school two
years ago. During the first year a
girls. club was sponsored at the Wach-
ter school, where dramatics, sewing
and recreational activities were car
ried on at regular Friday evening
meetings. Plans we're laid for organ
ization Of Girl Scout troops and the
first annual girls camp at Chan
Owapi was held, 90 girls attending.
Summer Fairgrounds were conducted
at the Moore and Richholt schools
and the Kiwanis park. under direction
of Miss Lois Howard, who has been
employed by the council on a part
time basis to supervise girls and chill
dren's recreation. Diamond ball for
employed girls was also a part of last
summers schedule.
Beginning last fall, three clubs for
girls between IL and Is were conduct
ed, with weekly meetings at the
Wachter, Richholt and Will schools,
and six Girl Scout troops were Or
ganized with a combined membership
of 181. Enrolment in the clubs has
totaled 100, with an average attend
ance of IS each week. Late in March
the Crescent club for younger en-
ployed girls was organized, with a
membership Of 16. Basketball for
older girls was arranged for during
the winter months, IL girls meeting
twice a week in the Roosevelt school
gymnasium under Miss Towards di-
rection. AS a result. 329 girls in Bis
marck have profited by the councils
organized recreation during the WIN
ter, the report shows.
Future plans call for the organiza-
ton of additional Girl Scout troops as
soon as leaders can be trained, Miss
Amelia Thoorsell and Miss Ida Mae
Born having been sent here during the
year to conduct training classes. 1t
is probable that the three clubs at the
schools will merge into Scout troops
in another year, with the possible or
ganization Of additional clubs, such as
the Crescent, for employed girls.
The school clubs, known as the Pho
neers, Pilots, and Stitch and Chatter
groups, have represented an especially
big undertaking because of the fact
that three speakers on the same sub
ject, as well as recreational workers

feet, eight and one-fourth inches into the air. Both records were made in the United States.
 If wo may believe the report of Adolphus Frederick, German duke who visited East Africa before the World war, African athletes have made jumps which surpass any rec- ord made by athletes in civilized countries.
 The best Jumpers, Frederick de- c1ared, reached the height of eight feet and five inches in running leaps Just before taking "off" each Jumper stepped on q mound foot high. Even if we subtract this foot, the African record is almost nine inches above the record of Osborn. Horses carrying riders have jump cd slightly more than eight feet into the air. Pleas and grasshoppers make still better records, for their size.
