 New Haven, Conn.,, Oct 2S-It looks like a lucky year for the Big Green of Dartmouth, despite the fact that it lost to Harvard. For the first time in it's 15 encounters with the Yale Bulldog, stretched over AS years, Dartmouth looks like a sure winner over a Yale team.
 Head Coach Jack Cannell has had to build an entirely new back field, and, despite green material. has welded together an outfit that barely lost to John Harvard. 10-7, and outplayed the Crimson all the way.

TRADING ON CURB
IS WITHOUT TREND
Market Drifts After Lower
0pening-Leaders Lack
Support.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27-The
Curb Exchange, after opening trrsgu-
larly lower, drifted aimlessly today in
one Of the most sluggish short sessions
thus far this year.
The usual market leader. Electric
Bond & Share, was an inactive, rela-
lively, as the rest Of the list. Cities
Service eased. Standard Oil of Indiana
was a shade lower, as was Creole Petro-
leum
The new Niagara Hudson Power Cor
poration common stock of SIS par
value, representing a consolidation Of
present shares for one of the new
shares, was admitted to trading privi-
leges on the curb today.
Associated Gas g. Electric issues
continued their downward course from
the opening gong Pressure was les
sened against Utilities Power & Light
shares in the first hour, but increased
offerings carried United Light & Power
A into new low gruond. Middle West
Utilities eased.
Detailed announcements about the
new Ford models had no market effect
on the various Ford issues. Stutz
Motors reacted.
New York Shipbuilding responded TO
its 1891 earnings Of $l,205, ,l59, which
contrasted with 81 ,527 in 1880, $403,-
436 in 1929 and $612,216 in 1928. Last
years profits, wartime excepted, were
the highest in the company's 30-year
history. No action was taken on COM
mon dividends, however, because Of the
uncertain of future policies with re-
gard to the American merchant marine
service.
New England Telephone made its
first tape appearance of the week at
10724, off "a, which follows q break Of
612 points last week. Recently the
company curtailed working schedules.
Its 1881 net operating income was
more than $1.000,000 below that Of
1890.
Prospects of betterment in the steel
and iron industry were mirrored in q
2-point rise of Pittsburgh e. Lake Erie.
Pennroad was little changed and duller
than usual American Laundry Ma
chinery, on a point and at q new low,
rejected earning statements and Q
dividend reduction.

Business Notes

NEW YORK, February 27.-The hol1-
day at the start Of this week tended to
keep some merchandise buyers at home,
but the number here for the week ended
yesterday was believed larger than Tor
the corresponding week last year.
A recent increase in orders for table
glassware is attributed by dealers to
the growing popularity Of crystal stem
ware 1t is said that crystal Is outseH-
ing both wistaria and topaz glassware
in the retail price ranges of $3.50 to
$3.50 a dozen.
Rug dealers report continued de-
cline in demand for merchandise in the
wholesale market. Orders, 1t is said,
are confined to replacement needs and
producers see little prospect OF change
in the trend for several weeks. The
call for "hll-in" merchandise Is well
distributed, but purchases are restricted
to small lots.
The gray goods market Is not dis
playing the activity that characterized
1t earlier in the month, according to
market observers. Buyers are taking
only small lots of goods and recent
weakness in raw cotton has had
somewhat unsettling effect on the
market.

j. s. STANDS FIRST
IN LIFE INSURANCE
Statistics Show 10 Per Cent
of Business Transacted
in This Country.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The United States carries about 70
per cent of the international total of
life insurance.
Policies in force throughout the
world we're calculated by the Commerce
Department to have aggregated ap-
proximately STAT ,OOo, 900, 900 at the close
of 1929, while incomplete data for 1880
indicated substantial increase IN the
world total during that year.
The amount held in the United States
at the close of 1929 amounted to $103,-
146, ,00O,O 900 on the basis of the depart
ments computation, but this amount
has been increased to $109 500, ,000, 600
at the close of 1881, the Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents reports. This
sum does not include Government war
risk insurance.
The English speaking countries OF
the world are responsible for about IS
per cent of the international total. Sta
tisticS for 1929, latest year available,
shows the United Kingdom was in sec
ond place with a total of $11, ,705, ,000, 900,
followed by Canada with total OF
$6, ,6o9, ,0o0,0 900. Japan held relatively
high standing with a total Of s3,973,-
100000, followed by Germany with a
total of $3,723, 100000.
Other major totals included in the
summary we're Australia with more
than $2,300,000 000; Sweden. $1,260-
100000; France, including government
insurance, s1,118,0oO 900; Netherlands,
O56,O0O,0O0; and Italy with $1,03s,-
G00,O00 which includes government in
surance as we'll as private policies
Uruguay, in 1929, had the lowest total
in force, $180O0,000, which also in
cluded government insurance.
A noteworthy feature Of the report
was a gradual increase in insurance
outstanding in all countries. In no
case did any country fail to report a
gain In any year since 1925 when the
record was first kept.

RECENT ADVANCES
General List Irregular, but
High-Grade Corporation Is
sues Are Firm.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Bond
trading was of small proportions today
and prices were irregular: There was
no marked tendency for bonds to lose
any part of the gains of the week, ex-
cept in a few isolated cases.
United States Government bonds had
a firm tone, most of the II active is
sues selling z to "a point above Fri
days closing levels. High-grade cor
poration bonds also were firm. There
were small gains in such seasoned de-
scriptionS as American Telephone IS,
Consolidated Gas SIS, New York Tele-
phone 4l2S, Atchison general As, Nor
folk d Western As. Chesapeake & Ohio
consolidated SIS, Standard Oil of New
Jersey 5s, General Motors Acceptance
6S and American Smelling & Refin-
ing SIS.
A feature of the day was the contin-
ued weakness in Utilities Power & Light
5s and 512s and in Middle West Untili-
tleS notes, which are traded on the Curb
Exchange. Utilities Power & Light
bonds dropped to new lows, 2 to 8
points under Fridays lows, making
total losses in two days of 8 to 10
points. The company's representatives
mere were at loss to explain the weak
ness, but traders ascribed it to the call
ing OF bank loans made against these
bonds as collateral. Middle West Utili-
ties notes, which mature in June to the
amount Of S10,000,O00, dropped from
6Ti2 to under so. Recently the COM
pany made it known that the cash to
meet the notes was on hand. The
bankers here declared that forced
liquidation was the cause of today's
weakness.
In general, however, the corporation
list was steady. Small losses in Nickel
Plate IS, Pere Marquette 41bs, Dodge
Brothers IS and Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit IS were Offset by advances in
Youngstown Sheet & Tube IS, Inter-
national Match 5s, Armour of Delaware
5i2s, Frisco prior lien A 4s and Cana
dian Northern 615s.
In the foreign department little in
tereSt was displayed on either side of
the market. There was only nominal
trading in japanese Government bonds
and others directly affected by events
changed, though Japanese 612s were of
with yen quotations
Great Britain SIPS were firm around
their high. Most other Europeans were
unchanged. Dutch bonds were firm to
narrowly higher on the announcement
that the Stock Exchange had been no.
tined that interest on the 50-year 6
per cent sinking fund bonds of the
Netherlands will be paid March /.
The municipal market was some
what firmer, rejecting the quick resale
OF the S5,000,000 of per cent bonds
purchased by a syndicate from the City
OF Newark on Friday The bonds were
reoffered at 534 per cent.

BIG SHOW ABOUT TO OPEN.

Monday morning the "big show"-the quadrien- nial National Convention of the Democratic Party will open at Chicago before an audience composed of the entire nation. It is the show" of 1882 largely because the acts of it's rival and the cast particularly the stellar actors were known long be- fore the actual scenes transpired on the public stage In the latter TO surprises sprung and there was no unforeseen climax to stir the magma tions of the spectators. It not problem play" but one that was laid down with precision and acted upon with mathematical accuracy.
 None of this is true about the Democratic as- semby When it opens Monday, there are several questions containing sufficient political significance to and maintain public as well as party interest until the end comes.
 Ex-Gov Alfred E. Smith, formidable figure and ttular party leader since 1928, has openly an- nounced the self-mposed task of stopping" Gov Franklin D Roosevelt short of the Presidential nom nation He has demonstrated his qualities of lead ership and ability a fighter on too many occasions to be taken lightly. Will he succeed in blocking the path of the man who fought for him on many occasions and presented him to the coun try the Happy Warrior?
 Leaders of the Roosevelt forces declare he will fail They are supremely confident they have the strength necessary to control the organization of the convention and bring about the nomination of the New York Governor. Their first move-to make Senator T. J. Walsh permanent chairman in opposi ton to Jouett Shouse-seems to lack political sagac ity. Many of those who supporting Gov. Roose- welt for the Presidential nomination will support MT Shouse rather than Senator Walsh The former as National Executive Committeeman has been the driving force of the Democratic organizations high ly successful campaigning during the past three years. Much of the partys in Congressional and other elections held since he took charge was due to his untiring efforts Many of Roosevelt's warmest friends and packers believe he ought to have the place. Can the New Workers leaders beat him and maintain their hold their present following? That is another question which is creat- ing interest in the Democratic conclave.
 Prohibition is, of course, the big question nvolv- ing the platform. Will the Democrats follow the example set by the Republicans in the same stadium less than two weeks ago and stradde on the issue with facing both ways plank? Or will it face the issue squarely and give the people of the United States an opportunity to express their honest con- victons on this issue which overshadows all others? This is about the only doubtful matter connected

SYNOPSIS: Once more on the kidnapers trail, Jerry Cal hcun intends to wipe out his former failure to run them down. H remembers angrily how, when Nancy Wentworth was captured, shot put him cut of commission until after she had disappeared, and that his efforts to fellow the gangs hydrcplane when the ransom money was collected, failed due to his poor airplane. Now he has powerful new plane, and with Emory Battles and a de- tective, Stevens, is on the look out fer the hydroplane. A new system in ransom, the demand ing of beard money, makes it impossible to prophecy the gangs intentions. Five men have been captured, as we'll as Nancy-Lucci, a gangster, and four mealthy men, Hamilton, Mallory, Williams and Martin. Far away from their friends, the captives wait, well guard ed in some tropical place, that they cannot recognize. They are breaking under the sus- pense and heat.

with the platform which usual, will assail the works of the opposition party and seek to link it indissolubly with the great depression.
 What the cast will be no one knows for certain. AS to the Presidency word has been uttered. Until the stellar role is filled probably there will be none If Smith does stop Roosevelt, can he muster enough strength to obtain the nomination for him. self? Most observers say not If he cannot who will land the prize? Many have been mentioned almost as frequently as either Roosevelt Smith,
 including Newton D. Baker, Owen D. Young, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, Speaker John Nance Garner, backed by w R. Hearst and w. G. McAdoo Senator James Reed Missouri firebrand who broke with Woodrow Wilson the League of Nations Gov. Harry Byrd of Virginia whose Prohibition plank re- gently received wide commendation, Gov. William (Alfalfa Bib Murray Sage of Tishmingo, Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker, Gov. George White of Ohio a one-time Klondike miner. Noted figures most of them, known throughout the country, which will be selected Democratic standard bearer if Roosevelt and Smith fail?
 These are the reasons why the Democratic Con- vention is the big show. Upon their settlement amcably, or in such that the party can make a strong drive unitedy, depends the party's chances for success next November Its present hopes brighter than at any time since 1916 Their realization depends in very large measure upon what takes place in Chicago next week
