The loud cackle that emanated
from Henry Stations hen yard at
Candy Wednesday when this
seven-ounce egg was dropped
into an Easter nest. celebrated
duty well done.
The egg, perfectly formed, had
a circumference, lengthwise, of
nine and a quarter inches. Amid
ships, its circumference was eight
and a half inches.
An American Leghorn did the
trick, Station said proudly eX-
hibiting the egg.

BULLS IN RUSH

100000 Shares Exchanged in

Strong and persistent buying OF
the market favorites in today's
short session forced prices to a
new peak for the movement,

the best levels since last Sep

Speculative enthusiasm. famed
by the new opportunities for

spectacular rise in stock values
this month, was again in evi.

shares which have led the de-
cisive upward move.
100000 Shares Sod
Transactions in the first half.

tuated by a rise of 101a points
in Auburn, a 3-point jump in
Houston Oil and an advance to
the 1881 peak by American Can,
United Gas improvement. Con-
solidated Gas and other favorites.
Going into the second hour the
market met sitter opposition in
the form of weekend and pre-
holiday profit taking and short
selling. Markets after today's
closing do not reopen until Tues
day and many traders are ad.
verse to taking a position" over
a double holiday. Vanadium, Du-

leaders sold slightly under Fri

MARKET GAINS
To CONTINUE,
IS BELIEF
Failure Of Railroad Stocks to
Confirm General Trend
Is Only DiScordant Note
BY The Spectator

The triumphant march Of
the bull ranks continues un-
checked, despite the growing
list Of casualties on the way.
AS the result Of Fridays
fresh crusade against the
shorts, the averages of 90
composite stocks are at l40.6,
a gain of almost 2 points on
the day. The only discordant
note to critical observers is
the failure of the railroad
group to confirm the rising
trend by advancing to new
top for the year. However,
the movement since the turn
Of the year has been so un.
orthodox that an irregularity
here and there has failed to
carry the usual significance.
The Washington times., 1931-02-21

1t is pertinent, though, for the
rank and file of trader to look
askance at a rise which neglects
to carry such widely tipped
stocks as United States Steel,
Case ThreShing, and Warner
Brothers with it. This is clearly
indicative Of distribution. for even
though the net advance in these
issues from their low of the year
might be termed extensive, it is
hardly more so than the upturn
which the market as whole has
experienced in the same period.
In fact, certain sources who
should be in a position TO know
declare that liquidation on a
broad scale has been taking place
by banks and other important in 4
terests, and that the current ad-
vance will burn itself out when
the short interest has finally
been rushed to cover.
Cite Similar Move
One year ago, a move similar
to the present continued until
April TO- Those bullish Gil the
current drive point cut the
abundance of bargains to account
for the buying. A rough glance
over the rank and file If cecog-
niZed market leaders brings out
the following information on
yields available for investors.
United States Steel. paying ST, is
selling to yield about AZ per cent.
General Electric returns a yield
Of 81 per cent, American Can,
including extras, offers a return
of less than 4 per cent, and
Electric Power and Light yields
less than per cent. T. is also
open to question whether the
current dividend rates will be
covered by either United States
Steel. or General Electric in the
course Of the present year.
While the current advance may
continue for time longer, the
prudent investor will stand aside
waiting for the inevitable read
justment.
SGCCl
An interesting slant IN the
near term market possibilities Of
United States Steel is advanced
by certain chart observers. after
noting that for the second time
this month the common stock Of
this premier industrial favorite
was loaning at a premium. The
general belief in speculative quar-.
tiers is that earnings for this
quarter will probably not exceed
81 per share, and have therefore
been selling in the expectation
that lower prices will be wit
messed. But, it is pointed cut,
in 1922 with earnings from jan
uary to June but 35 per cent Of
dividend requirements, Steel COM
mon rose about Is per cent in
market price. Parallel results in
1881 would mean less than $1.25
half-year earnings, but a market
price advance to the IT'S level.
Borden GrOOmed for Rise
Borden is one of the invest
ment faVorites which is being
groomed for higher prices, ac-
cording to conservative market
interests. 1t is brought out that
the company has been steadily
expanding it's outlets, but this
has been accomplished without
bond or preferred stock financ.
ing. While share capitalization
has increased 225 per cent in the
last eight years, plant investment
account gained 296 per cent, and
gross sales 228 per cent. Earn.
ings in 1880 are estimated at
around the previous years show
ing of $3.50 a share, but the
beneficial results of the ex-
pansion program are expected to
find increasing reflection in
profits over the next several
years

MAN HIT BY AUTO
CRITICALLY HURT
Ambulance En- Route to Ap-
other Victim When Acct
dent Occurs.

Murdoch Mcdonald, SO years old, of
1913 G street southeast, who was hit
yesterday afternoon by the fire rescue
squads ambulance en- route to pick up
a man reported near drowning in East
ern branch, was reported in a critical
condition at Casualty Hospital last
night. The victim of the river accident
also was in a serious condition at the
hospital.
Mcdonald was bowled over at New
Jersey avenue and H street. The am
bulance which hit him was stopped and
attendants placed the wounded man in
side and took him to the hospital, while
the rescue squad car continued on the
emergency run.
At Benning Bridge firemen picked up
Ernest Barnes. 80 years old, surveyor
for the United States Engineer Depart
ment, who had fallen into the river
from a motor boat. They returned him
to the hospital, where his condition was
described as serious from exposure and
shock.
Although he could swim, Barnes was
unable to make his way back to the
boat in the icy water and was on the
verge of Inconsistencies when his cries
for help were heard by Arthur Jones of
676 Fourth street northeast and Robert
Newman of 1907 Water street southwest.
They rowed out from the shore and
pulled the exhausted man into their
boat.
Barnes, who lives at 1852 Avon place,
was doing work in connection with the
reclamation of Anacostia flats. His res
cuers were employed nearby, JONES as a
Seawal inspector of the Engineer De-
partment and Newman as a driver for a
gravel company.

CITIZENS ASK CONGRESS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL FUND
Conference of Associations Urges
Favorable Report on 100000
Appropriation.

At a recent meeting of the North
east Suburban Citizens Associations
Conference held in Brookland, reso-
luton was adopted urging the Senate
Appropriations Committee to give ia
vorable consideration to the $4,000
item in the pending District bill to be
used to begin construction of junior
high school at Eighteenth and Quincy
streets northeast.
The associations represented in the
conference, including the Burroughs,
Dahlgren Terrace, Michigan Park and
Brookland Citizens Associations. re-
gard the erection of this school build
ing as the outstanding school need
of that locality, the resolution stated.
In making appropriations for ele-
mentary schools, the resolution urged
that the entire community bounded by
Bladensburg road on the south. the
metropolitan branch of the B. g. o.
Railroad on the west and north and by
the District line on the east should
be considered as a whole rather than
the needs of a small section thereof.
The most pressing need at present of
additional elementary school facilities
is north of Rhode Island avenue, the
resolution stressed.

TENANTS ORDERED
FROM NEWP.O.S SITE
Occupants Notified to VaCate
Buildings by March | to
Permit Razing.

Notice has been served on a small
group of occupants of property on the
site for the new Post Office Depart
ment to vacate by March /.
This is the first step of the Govern
ment in ordering persons to vacate the
big area bounded by Twelfth and
thirteenth, B street and Pennsylvania
avenue, of which the Post Office De-
partment will occupy the northern two
thirds.
The Treasury now is acquiring,
through the process of condemnation,
the entire site, parcel by parcel, and as
title passes into the hands of the Gov
eminent 80 days notice to vacate Is
being served, in order to get the prop
erty emptied so the old structures can
be torn down.
In the first group to be served with
notices there were only about half
dozen tenants, or former property own
tiers. it was said at the Treasury.
It is the plan to have the whole area
empty by April l. Test drillings al
ready have been made around the site
to determine the character OF, the sub
soil. Drawings for the new building
are virtually complete, so that as soon
as the area is vacant it can be razed
and excavated. The District Commits
sioners already have served notice on
the Mount Vernon, Alexandria & WASH
ington Railway to give up its right OF
way and tracks through this area. Pub
lie utilities also have been served with
notices that the streets are to be
closed and eXcavated, so they must re-
route their lines and mains.

BRIDE TO CONFER
ON PEPCO DECREE
Preliminary Talk With EIec-
trio Executive on Rate-Mak-
ing Begins Tomorrow.

A preliminary conference between S.
r. Bowen, vice president and counsel
Of the Potomac Electric Power Co., and
Corporation Counsel William w. Bride
relative to the proposed change in the
system of adjusting electric rates in
Washington will be held tomorrow
morning, according to present arrange
mentS.
Mr.. Bowen and Mr.. Bride will confer
informally with regard to the compro-
mise the Public Utilities Commission is
seeking to effect with the corporation
over its Announced intention of going
to court to secure a modification OF the
consent decree Of equity court which
governs electric rates here.
If tomorTow'S conference and the
later formal consultations, which will
be attended by Peoples Counsel Rich
mond G. Keech, are successful, they
are expected to result in the establish
ment of some type OF sliding ar
rangement for adjusting the electric
rates of the year providing for reduc-
ton of rates when the company's profits
increase. Such system is now in ef-
feet but the present system has re-
suited in excessive earnings for the
power company, according to finding
of fact by the commission in the recent
power company case.
The commission has ready petition
asking the court to change the terms
of the present decree so as to make
possible greater rate reductions during
the company's prosperous years than
are possible under the operation Of the
present decree. This petition is being
held in allegiance while an effort will be
made by the commission and Mr.. Bride
to get the company to agree to such
revision without the necessity OF going
to court.

La Guardia Blocks Other Dis
trict Legislation Until
Measure Is Removed.
CENTERED UPON
HIGH RATE OF INTEREST
New Yorker Declares "Sharks"
Would Point Out Favorable
Action as U. S. Attitude.

The so-called small loan bill" for
the District of Columbia was withdrawn
from the House program yesterday az
ternoon after a determined f1libuster
against the measure, led by Representa-
tive Fiorello H. La Guardia of New
York, had threatened to wreck the
chances of all other District legislation.
The small loan bill was withdrawn
by Representative Frederick N Zihl-
man of Maryland, chairman of the
House District Committee, when it be-
came apparent that there would be no
opportunity, unless this were done, to
bring up for consideration number
of other important District bills.
Representative La Guardia based his
f1libuster against the bill on the as
sumption that it would legalize a SO
per cent rate Of interest "in this time
OF need, of stress and restitution
Couldn't Stop La Guardia.
The New Yorker started his fiIibuster
when the so-called billboard bill' was
brought up, although the loan shark"
or small loans bill then was five or six
items down the program. Representa-
tives Simmons of Nebraska, Frear of
Wisconsin, Blanton of Texas, and a
half dozen other members sought to
disSuade La Guardia from making his
and meritorious measures on the Dis
trict program had been acted upon.
He refused.
Mr.. La Guardia admitted that mo
doubt there is a shameful condition in
regard to loan sharks in the District
of Columbia, but you can't stop it by
legaliZing So per cent rate of interest
for destitute people"
Representative Bowman, Republican.
of West Virginia, who has sponsored
the measure, in behalf of former Rep
reSentative Gilbert, Democrat, of Ken
lucky, who has been an agent of the
Russell Sage Foundation in pressing
this legislation, said more than IS
States in the Union have passed the
small loan law and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is behind the measure
here.
Business Is Cold -BIOOded.
Representative La Guardia declared
the loan shark interests are endeavor-
ing to get this measure through in the
National Capital so they can go before
the Legislatures of % States and point
to 1t as the Federal Governments atti-
tude. La Guardia said that the small
loan companies will not loan a man
out of a Job whose family is starving
and who is without indorsers or col
lateral. He stressed that the loan COM
panies would assume no risk, that they
are in hard. cold-blooded business.
Representative Zihlman, in announc-
ing his withdrawal, said that he did SO
because he is very anxious to attempt
to pass other legislation which the
Commissioners have advised is extreme
ly important.
