M. & M. PLAYERS ADD. TWO
BASKETBALL VICTORIES

Remembering the only football
received, was at the hands of New
Concord, the Big Reds were de-
termined that the only way to even
up athletic accounts would be to
trim them at basketball Friday
night. However, after New Con-
cord recently so completely trounced
the strong Crooksville basketeers,
the Big Reds were not resting at all
easy until the game Friday night
was well under way. The scoring
began with New Concord when
their smooth working machine
ground out a field in very quick or
der. The first quarter was evenly
played 1t ended with M. e NJ lead
ing-11-9 At the middle period,
the locals had five point lead
1913. Soon after play was re-
sumed in the third quarter, M. 6 M.
began to feel easier, since they very
soon piled up safe lead. In this
period they lOoped l5 points to
New Concord's four. In the last
period the Muskingum county lads
made but four points, and M. & M.
seven. During much of the last
period, Coach Marquis sent in
number of his second team. Stew
ard took individual scoring honors
for M. & M, with II points. How
ever, in the game throughout, each
player contributed about equally to
the final result. Joe Sales was
referee. Lineup and summary:

ly enjoyable and profitable program.
A delightful meeting of the club
is anticipated for Feb. 16, when
Mrs. Button will be hostess and will
tell of .her trip abroad last sum-
mer.
AS the meeting Of Monday even-
ing was the first regular meeting OF
the club since the death of Mrs.
George Hoffman,, one of the club
members, the following tribute had
been written, and was read, by an
intimate friend, Mrs. B. d. Rich
ardson:
We would offer tribute to the
memory of our late friend and CO.
worker in the New Era club, Mary
Work Hoffman,, who died at her
home in Malta, Dec. %, 1880. While
Mrs. Hoffman, had not been in
good health for number of years,
and during the last year had made
a valiant fight against complica-
ton of troubles too great to be over
come, the end came so quietly and
Unexpectedly that even yet it is
hard to realize she is gone. Mrs.
Hoffman, had been member of the
New Era club for a number Of
years; had served the club as pres
ident, and was active along all lines
of club work, until, on account of i'll
health, she was compelled to go on
the associate membership list While
the club sponsored the Simpson Ii
brary, she was one of the leaders in
all work for that purpose, intensely
interested in maintaining the library
until it could be taken care of by
other means; and at the time of her
death she was valued member of
the book committee. Upon many
occasions the club members have
enjoyed meeting in her lovely home
where she was always the gracious
hostess, and it is with sincere regret
that the tie of friendship and social
intercourse is broken. AS we look
back over the years of her fighting
disease, we think Of her as a brave
and courageous soul, whose first
thought was for her home and
friends Just when it seemed that
life held the most for her, she is
gone, yet 1--WE cannot say,-we will
not say, that she is gone-she is
just away."-XX.

Memorial To DIR. Gillette Hay,,en

-sa1haosAol ~ III. onIcttt EfdyuGM
Several Columbus residents and
dentists are planning to attend the
dedication of a memorial to the
late DR.. Gillette Hayden, outstanding
woman dentist of Columbus. Tues
day in Chicago. The memorial Is in
the form of a dental department of
the Sarah Hackett Memorial Home
there. The home itself is a me-
mortal to woman physician of Chi
cago, and is for widowed and for
saken married women who have
been left with children to support.
No provision had been made at the
home for dental needs of the chill
dren, so the idea was conceived by
DR.. Dora Hendrickson to establish
the dental department as a me-
mortal to DR.. Hayden. The depart
ment will be financed largely by
women dentists, and at present DR.
Hendrickson will do most of the
work. Among those from Columbus
who will attend the dedication will
be Mrs. James NJ. Rector, DR.. Hay
den's sister, and DR.. and Mrs Ho-
mer C. Brown.-Ohio state Journal.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LIGHT TRADING
List HardenS Somewhat
After Early Period of
Liquidation.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, January l2.-with
speculative interest at low ebb, stocks
moved irregularly in the opening ses-
sion OF the week.
Opening prices were slightly lower
but, no liquidation appearing. the list
hardened. Although trading was with
out special feature, that very fact had
Significance. -Advices of brokerage
houses over the week end were on the
side OF caution. 1t was pointed out
that the market had enjoyed a sub
stantial recovery and that presumably
the technical position was impaired. It
was stressed that there were many I'M
favorable four-quarter statements to APP
pear and that 1t was uncertain how
the market would take them.
Political situation.
The political situation in Washington
was declared to be another reason for
taking a neutral position on the market.
Probably all OF the considerations
worked to keep buyers out, but the
point is there was no selling pressure
either. The price movement, such as
it was, indicated that stocks were in
strong hands.
The increase in the untitled tonnage
Of the United States Steel Corporation,
announced after the close Saturday,
was larger than had been expected.
Steel, however, opened fractionally
lower, and throughout the morning
fiuctuated within a range of a point.
The remarks of Albert H. Wiggin, head
Of the Chase National Bank, with his
highly conservative view toward the
market, were interpreted variously in
the Street, but at least they had no
unfavorabie effect on the market.
AS far as the more important stocks
went, General Motors was noticeably
steady, within o fraction of its best on

State figures (same stores)
Fifth District Also Shines.

In addition to the above report from
the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
the Federal Reserve Board also made
and intensely interesting report today on
trade in all IL districts.
AS noted by the Richmond bank, the
fifth district as a whole made an I'M
usually good showing in December and
throughout the year, when compared
with the other IL trade areas. The
Reserve Boards report follows:
Department store sales showed an
increase of so per cent from November
to December, when allowance Is made
for the number of trading days, accord
ing to preliminary figures reported to
the Federal Reserve Board. This in
crease is somewhat less than the eSti-
mated seasonal increase for that period
and the boards index of department
store sales, which is adjusted for num-
Der Of trading days and for seasonal
variation, declined by 2 per cent for
the month.
As compared with last year, the ag-
gregate value of sales in December
according to the preliminary figures,
was per cent smaller, and when allow
ance is made for the fact that there
was one more trading day this year than
last, the decrease from last year is
about IL per cent. For the year 1880
as whole department store sales were
per cent smaller than in 1929.

Western Union, which sold off on the

the calendar year the corresponding
figures were $3.50, 0oo, 377, against $780,
579,S02.
One Of the few soft spots was West
inghouse Electric. The Street has been
specializing as to the outlook for the
dividend, but inasmuch as the directors
are not scheduled to meet for action on
the disbursement until late in March,
anxiety on that point seems premature.

STORE SALES HOLD
WELL IN DISTRICT
Reserve Bank Report Reveals
Good Record for Local
Institutions.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond announced today that depart
ment store sales in Washington in
December were only 3 per cent lower
than in December, 1929, and for the
entire year, 1880, were but Is per cent
behind the sales reported in 1929. This
report gives washington the best
mercantile standing in 1880 of any city
in the fifth Federal Reserve district.
The report adds:
Department store sales in the fifth
Federal Reserve district in December,
1880, averaged 4.49 per cent less than
sales in December, 1929, measured in
dollars. OF 70 stores, located in 40
cities and towns in the fifth district,
only IA stores reported higher figures
for last month, while Sc stores sold
less than in December, 1929.
Cumulative sales during the year
1880 averaged 3.6 per cent less than
sales during the year 1929, most of the
decline occurring during the second half
year. The Richmond district made
better showing than most other reserve
districts in both December, 1880, and
in the entire year, the Kansas City
district being the only one which
showed a smaller decrease in December
sales and the New York district show
ing the only smaller decrease for the
entire year 1880.
The average decrease in sales for the
entire United States in December. 1890,
was 8 per cent, and total sales in 1880
also averaged 8 per cent less than
total sales in 1929.
