HEALTH CHECK
FOR CONGRESS

In anticipation of a turbulent
session of Congress, which proba-
bly, will extend far into next sum.
mer, DR.. George w. Calver. Navy
physician. assigned to the Capitol
building to treat ailing legislators,
is warning. returning members
that they should build up their
health between now and the date
Tor the opening of the December
session.
DR.. Calver, it was learned. is ad-
viSing members they should be
examined by himself or their
home physicians before beginning
the grind.
Since the next House will be so
closely divided that one or two
votes may shape its organization
and many important pieces of
legislation, the health of members
now is of more Importance to the
country, if not to themselves,
than it has been for years. Spe.
cial significance, therefore. is at.
tached to the check-up by DR.
Calver on the health of his off
ctal patients.

STOCKS DEPRESSED

Gains Of Previous Session
Lost as Market Trend
Is Reversed.

pletely reversing itself, the stock market
today was as weak as on Monday 1t
was strong. All the gains made in the
previous session at the expense Of the
short interest were Cancelled and new
lows for the bear market registered
among both rails and industrials.
No adequate explanation was offered
for the abrupt change Of trend. There
have been other markets which have
turned about a. suddenly as this one,
but always with an assignable reason
in the way OF unexpected news There
was nothing Of that kind today. The
nearest approach to 1t was the con-
tinued decline in sterling, but that
seemed inadequate.
Rally Held Technical.
In the absence Of any change in the
outside situation. market students we're
forced to the conclusion that Mondays
rally had been due exclusively to the
repurchasing Of contracts for the de-
cline on the mistaken idea that some
new restrictions on short selling were
contemplated by the exchange authori-
ties. Nothing of that nature having de-
veloped overnight, this source of sup
port dried up and when stocks were Of.
fered today for either account they
found nearby bids lacking
The market was weak all through the
first hour and most Of the second, with
something Of . recovery appearing
around midday. During the early SELL
ing United States Steel, under $50 .
share, made new low mark. Westing-
house Electric, American Can, East
man Kodak and United Fruit did the
same. In the railway group there were
new lows for Atchison, Atlantic Coast
Line, Union Pacific and Northern Pa
ciflc, among others. Western Union
had this unenviable distinction in the
utility list.
Opening Prices Lower.
Stocks were under active pressure at
the opening, canceling d siSable frac-
ton Of Mondays advances.

Publix slumped abruptly to new low

amusement issues also were heavy.
General Motors opened at ASA on
5000 shares, of nearly a point on the

Nash and Chrysler we're heavy. Utili-
ties, such as American Telephone, Co

ny LOUIS =. VAN NORMAN.

While there seems to be no reason
to expect q considerable increase in the
number Of American factories abroad
before there is turn in business for
the better, the measures taken by the
British government against dumping"
may possibly induce further immigra-
ton Of American branch factories. The
United Kingdom and Canada are the
foreign countries in which American
branch plants are found In greatest
numbers.
Referring to the exceptional situation
in Canada at the present time, the an
nuAI report Of the Secretary Of Com
merce, released today, declares that the
establishment Of these branch plants, in
spite Of unfavorAble economic condi-
tiOnS In the Dominion, serves to con-
f1rm the conclusion of this department,
in the report to the Senate Gin January
last), that the tariff policies Of foreign
countries constitute the most important
single factor In the expansion Of our
industries beyond the boundaries OF the
country"
Canadian Tariff Increases.
The upward revisions Of the Cana
dian tariff by the Conservative govern
ment in September, 1890. and June,
1881, Secretary Lamont observes, were
ofYicially stated to be for the purpose
Of encouraging the industrial develop
ment Of the country.
The success Of the protectionist tariff
policy, AS evidenced by the establish
ment Of new American branch plants,
has been repeatedly stressed by the
leaders Of the government during the
tariR debates" says Mr.. Lamont.
A further contributing factor toward
the establishment Of American branch
factories In the Dominion is to be found
in the intensive campaign in favor Of
Canadian products carried on by the
government In connection with the up
ward revision Of the tariff" According
to . statement by Premier Bennett on
June /, 1881, o. new foreign branch
plants, including "a American, have
been established in Canada since Au-
gust, 1890. No information is available
as to the amount Of investment in
volved.
It must not be forgotten that Cana
dian products enjoy preferential treat
ment throughout large part Of the
British Empire. and this, of course,
would enable American branch plants
in the Dominion to escape high tariff
rates. United States branch factories
In Canada now number more than 600,
and the latest Information is that there
are about ITO In Great Britain.
Secretary LAmonts report to the Sen
ate summed up the movement toward
establishing branch factories abroad
before the war, and expressed the view
that "in branching out abroad American
industries are merely following the ira
ditions Of the important industries In
the industrially developed countries Of
Europe"

STATE HOUSE COMMISSION
Governor Appoints Same Members
Who Investigated Need of Building

Governor G. Douglass Buck Fri
day announced the appointment Of
a commission to have charge of the
acquiring of land and the erection
of a new State House, costing a to-
tai Of S75O,GO0. The members Of
the commission will be Mrs. Mabel
L. Ridgely and Judge w. w. Har-
rington, both of Dover; Col. Harry
L. Cannon, Of Bridgeville, and H.
Rodney Sharp, of Wilmington.
They had served on the commits
sion which had investigated the
need of a new State building and
made their report TO the past ses-
sion of the Legislature. Provisions
for the appointment Of a State
Building Commission and the ex-
penditure of S750,O00 in the erec-
tion of a new structure, were con-
tained under a bill offered by Sen
ator George McIntire and passed
by the recent session of the Cen
eral Assembly. Senator McIntire's
original bill carried an appropria-
ton of 81, 100000, but this was
changed to S75O,OOO prior to final
passage. The measure provides
for the acquiring of certain land in
Dover and the erection of a new
State building to house the General
Assembly, committee rooms, the
governors offices and the offices of
the Secretary of State. This is
part of a building program con-
templated in Dover. 1t is under
stood that efforts will be made in
future sessions of the Legislature
for further building improvements
for the State. 1t is likely that the
newly appointed State House Com
mission will meet in the near fu-
ture to take steps toward starting
work on the structure.
