of the two hundredth
anniversary of the
So - birthday of George
Washington, the New Century
Club had a Washington's birth
day party with members of the
club taking part. The setting
for the party was typical of the
old times with chairs, tables,
lamps, samplers, and so on,
making perfect background for
the members of George Wash
ingtOn's family who were en-
iOying the party. We, of the
present day look upon the cos
tunes of those days as almost
enhancing, and so those who
took part in the celebration
looked just that, with their pow
dered wigs, their laces and Vo-
luminous skirts of those Olden
days. So much of those other
days come to us, some of it
legendary and some historical,
but the romance always holds.
We salute the Father of Our
Country, andphope that his MEM
ory will always be cherished as
much by future gentrations as
it is by the present one.

On Tuesday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. August Faix were hosts to

Friends of William G. Smith
were shocked to hear of the
painful accident he suffered ON
Saturday evening. In the dark
ness, he mistook the door lead

and fell down into the cellar,
breaking his left arm and dislo-
eating the great toe on the left
foot. Mr.. Smith suffered much
pain the first part of the week,
but at this writing he is little
more comfortable.

UnfavorabIe Trade News Ig-

NEW YORK, September 21.-Accel-
Grating its pace throughout the session,
the Curb Exchange today finished at
virtually the best levels Of the day.
The manner in which stocks ignored
specifically unfavorable news, such as
the lowered electrical output and de-
clining quotations of lead and zinc, was
commented on by traders. The rise
naturally brought about short covering,
which was hastened by reports Of Euro
pean buying for speculative turn.
Electric Bond &, Share, whose action
suggested organized operations, at one
time was up almost points. but II
was the specialties that moved widely
Aluminium Co. Of America common neal
the end was up II points and so was
Great Atlantic &, Pacific Tea. A drop
OF almost IS per cent in earnings, how
ever sent Singer Manufacturing down
more than 8 points and Quebec Power
yielded more than points.
Prospects that monthly cigarette pro.
duction would show the first increase
in 16 months lifted the tobaccos in the
showed Deere e. Co. upward. though the
decline in zinc had little effect on New
Jersey Zinc. Crocker- Wheeler Electrica
for a time was marked up.
The rubbers, such as Fisk, and auto.
mobile accessories, such as Parker Rust

By the Associated Press:
NEW YORK. September 2l-Iron
Age today estimated current steel
production at 16 per cent Of capacity
against 1914 per cent last week.
Disappointment over September's
failure. to measure up to "even mod
crate" expectations, said the review, "is
tempered somewhat by the widespread
confidence, among consumers as we'll as
producers Of steel, that measurable i'm
provement Is merely delayed and will
make itself felt during the fourth
quarter"
This confidence" it continued, "al-
though unsupported by signs of i'm
portant steel tonnage. other than
projects to be financed by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation. finds its
principal basis in the hands OF manu-
featuring consumers, together with the
belief that the countrys minimum re-
quirements cannot much longer be sup
piled by the present meager output"
Wire products have made the best
showing. although tin plate rollings
have expanded and better orders have
appeared in some districts for sheets
and bars. Orders from the automobile
industry have gained slightly.

BY r. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 21-The
bond market forged ahead today IN
heavy trading. with rises of to points
sprinkled through the list.
Every section of the market Joined IN
the advance. Speculative issues gained
to points high-grade corporation
bonds added p to l point and United
States Government long-term issues
rose fractionally to new tops LOT the
year. Foreign Dollar issues reflected tne
resureence of confidence with gains OF
! to points.
Advances in stocks brought swift gains
IN convertible and stock option bonds.
but the real basis Of the movement IN
both domestic and foreign bonds was
the evidence Of improvement in business
conditions here and abroad and tne
gradual thawing out of frozen assets py
the advance in commodities. the conn
modify which attracted most attention
today was wheat.
Railroad issues were the first to ad.
vance. Gains of to points appeared
in Chesapeake Corporation 5s. ROCK

Illinois Central 4s4s, Missouri Pacllc
general Is and IS, New York Central os'
Nickel Plate 41as, Southern Pacific 4i2s

son general As. Norfolk g. Western As
and Union Pacific first As touched new
tops for the year. Less highly regarded
issues of a seasoned investment charac-
ter. such as Great Northern Is and
Pennsylvania general 4i2s, also ad-
vanced.
In industrials the emphasis once more
was laid on bonds of companies directly
concerned in the movement OF COM
modify prices, such as international
Cement IS, Goodyear IS, United States
Rubber 5s, Goodrich IS and the OILS
Junior utility issues were strong. Inter
national Telephone AIS and 5s. bonds
of a company affected by the Wel1are OF
ommodity-producing countries the Worlo
over ran up to points. Substantial
gains occurred in American & Foreign
Power IS, Postal Telegraph IS; western I;
Union 5s, International Hydroelectric
IS and New York City traction securl-
ties. Prime utilities were firm.
l. United States Government long-term
bonds, still rejecting the ease OF coun-
ter money at l per cent, rose one
thirty-second to five-thirty seconds to
new peaks for the year. Liberty Fourth
4i4s sold only IA points under Its
record high. The lower coupon Treas
uries, so lar still under tneT 1SoA IopS'
made steady progress.
Municipal issues were strong. New
York City bonds had further gain of
about a point following the court de-
cision against a mayoralty election this
Fall, thus insuring the continuance OF
the economy measures Instituted by
Mayor Mckee. Other municipals i'm
proved sympathetically.
Small gains were scattered through
out the European list. Japanese and
South American bonds were firm. Cuban
government issues rose 2 to 5 points.
The sudden display Of speculative IN
terest here followed a report that the
cuban government was about to close
a deal with a large oil company grant
ing it 40-year monopoly Of the oil
markets of Cuba in return for payment
in full of the Cuban public debt,
amounting to about S20o,0o0,ooo.
