STOCKS co HIGHER
IN LIGHT TURNOVER
Traders Take Buying Side
as Market ReSiStS Un-
favorable News.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 22.-Persuaded
not by anything in the news, but by the
action of the market itself, that the
line of least resistance was upward,
professional spectators, who now domi-
nate trading on the Stock Exchange,
took the buying side today. The re-
suit was moderate advances in leading
stocks and special strength in those
issues which had been sold for short
account earlier in the month.
While sentiment was mixed and in
clined to extreme conservatism, it was
pointed out in brokers' Offices before
the opening, and was stressed after the
early display of strength, that the mar
ket had exhibited an impressive indif-
ference to bad news, which seemed to
show that it had been sold out.
Rails Continue Strong.
For example. the reaction in United
States Steel in the last hour of We'd
nesday's sessions, following publication
Of an estimate that earnings for the
fourth quarter would be only 80 to 40
cents a share. brought no additional
selling into that stock this morning.
On the contrary, most of the time it
was point or so higher.
Every one knows what the December
railway earnings statements will show.
So far they have been uniformly UNI
favorable in their comparison with the
same month of 1929 and there is no
reason to expect anything different
from those still to come. Yet the buyers
in the railway shares today as on We'd
nesday, outnumbered the sellers. 1t all
went to confirm the belief that the
market was in position to ignore the
poor reports with which it will be con-
fronted for three months or more.
Rails Lead in Early Trading.
Following a hesitant opening, in
which prices were practically I'M
changed from the preceding close the
market developed a considerable show
of strength. The rails assumed the
leadership, as they had done on
Wednesday.
Chesapeake & Ohio was particularly

TEAR GAS IN SMYRNA BANK
Continued From Page One

Tins Of a bandits gun if the bandit
was not quickly overcome. The
gas which is discharged automati-
cally from the containers, or
guns, placed over each window
and directed toward the place
where a gangster would naturally
stand in holding up a clerk, will
render a bandit helpless in an in
creditably short time, in fact in
two-fifths of a second. There is
no permanent injury and anyone
affected will be absolutely free
from the affects in about fifteen
minutes. The directors of the
Fruit Growers have had this sys-
tenn installed because of the tre
mendous increase in daylight hold
ups in banks recently and because
in too many cases the customers
and employees have been the vic
Tins of violence on the part of the
hold-up men. The Fruit Growers
with most of the other banks have
protected their cash and securities
by insurance but were not satisfied
in that the customers and employ
ees were not properly protected
from the bandits guns and arms.
In the installation of the Federal
Tear Gas system they feel they
have solved the problem to large
extent because while the gas is
harmless it floods the lobby with
a gas and Jog combination which
completely blinds the bandits and
prevents them from doing any vio-
lence whatever. It has been used
for several years in the larger
banks, hotels and department
stores but only recently has the
cost been reduced that the smaller
banks can avail themselves of this
protective device. The directors of
the Fruit Growers in their desire
to make their institution a really
safe banking home for the COM
munity contracted for its installa-
ton as soon as they found it
could be secured at a reasonable
cost. The representative of the
company made the statement to
the directors that in the thousands
Of institutions in which their sys-
tenn had been installed there were
very few where an attempt at
hold-up had been made this was
due to the fact that the under
world knew so well the affects of
Federal Tear Gas they passed up
those equipped with this system.
The directors feel that the banking
public will have an added sense of
security in their bank and that
their best interest have been serv-
ed by the installation of this pro
tective system.
