PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-In Or
der to lessen the chances of a general
lay-off of civilian employees at the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, officials have adopt
ed "reduction-in-grade" plan.
The system was explained as being
designed to give skilled labor at the
navy yard chance to accept a de-
crease in pay ranging from 20 to 40
per cent in preference to a lay-off.
The plan was described yesterday by
officials as matter of necessity mott
waited by desire to keep the men at
work.
Employment at present, officials ex-
planned, is exceedingly low, although
improvement will be brought about
when the U. S. S. New Mexico arrives
here for modernization April /.
Most of the employees affected have
accepted the reduction in rating rather
than lay of, it was said.

PERMITS DROP
FOR BUILDING

According to building permit
reports received today by the
Bureau of Labor statistics from
342 identical cities. there was a
decrease in the estimated cost Of
total building of 25 per cent in
February, as compared with jan

This decrease, however, is less
than the decrease shown in COM

with January of that year.
In 1880 there was a decrease
Of 4.3 per cent, comparing the
estimated cost of buildings for
which permits were issued in Feb

vious month.
Permits issued in these 342
cities during February had an es-
timated cost of $100,311, 1856. New

NEW YORK, March % G.N.S0.
Stocks were unsettled at the be-

flood of selling orders left over
from Saturday, which carried
prices downward from fraction
to two points or more.
Announcement of the abandon
ment of the policy of the Farm
Board to support wheat prices

the market recovered a good part
Of their early losses.
Business news over the week
end was generally favorable, as
indicating the further progress OF
the recovery in important lines,
including steel, automobile and
textile trades.
The call loan rate moved up
to ~ per cent. Buying demand
from the outside sources was not
very brisk and many highpriced

The first typewriter introduced into
England was by Sir Alfred Yarrow, the
famous shipbuilder, who has just cele-
brated his ninetieth birthday anniver-
sary. He bought the first dozen that
went to England from America 81 years
ago. No one in his firm could use them,
so he had to advertise for a typist, but
as no one In England knew what a
typist was, he had TO advertise for "a
shorthand writer who can play the
piano"i Eventually he found a young
man who quickly mastered the new in-
