ART OF BUILDING
 DRY STONE WALLS
Good Specimen of Work Can Be Seen in Wash-
 ingtOn Park BUILT THIS WINTER

Anybody who thinks that the building of dry stone walls such as were quiet common in this country in the good old days when more looked to tilling the soil for a liv- ing and hustling in rolling mill, should take Q peep at the wall con- structed the past few weeks in Washington park and then decide whether they ever saw any better workmanship on the line of effort, either here or in the old world.
 A man who can do that kind of work should command good wages, but 1t is doubtful if he gets any more than very small wage. The American farmer used to do a good deal of that kind of work, but he thought 1t did not pay and used wire instead. Finally he got tired of stone and wire bounds, dropped farming and decided to try his luck in the city. However, the art is not lost as anybody can see by q look at the wall built in Washing ton park.

New York, Jan Il (UP)-Stock traders concluded today general wage slash was only a question of with heavy purchases of railroad stocks.
 Rising prices for the rails quick ly bolstered the rest of the mar ket and leading stocks advanced in spirited fashion throughout the afternoon. Early losses on several unfavorable weekend develop ments were quickly erased and substantial gains substituted.
 Advices from Cleveland and Chi cago, where railroad union leaders were mapping their program for the wage meeting with railroad executive later in the week at Chi cago. indicated that employees may accept wage cut in certain con- sessions are granted by railroad leaders.
 These reports were quickly trans- lated into buying orders for. rail- road stocks and bonds, factor that served to restore confidence lost during the initial setback. Leaders like New York Central, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Ches- apenke & ohio recovered early loses and advanced 10 gains of as high as 3 points.
 Because the railroad stocks so frequently have indicated the trend of prices in the past two yearsr fur their strength in the rails was powerful bull factor and inducted widespread short covering and new investment buying in leaders in the industrial and utility section.
 Steel common recovered from It's curly low of 401a to above the 43- level, a fractional gain over the previous closing level. Telephone snapped back nearly 4 points from it's low and Radio-Kelth .Orpheum ockholders were cheered by the first advance in the stock since the capitulation plan was announced. At 6%, it's afternoon high. the stock showed an appreciation of more than 120 per cent over it's recent low of 2%.
