I'm glad you're enjoying yourself" said
Barbara politely.
oh it's not that" replied Mrs. Evans. That
is, Of course, I am enjoying myself-but it's
seeing you having all this life. At home, you
see, I always had to be fussing at you. The
neighbors did talk, you know, and a girl can
ruin her life just for nothing at all. I always
had to be telling you not to do that, and not
to do this. That's not much fun for a mother.
That's why it's been so grand this time just to
go round with you, here where nobody knows
us, without bothering about anything. And to
know that you have this all the time!'
PARBARA clasped her hands tightly under

She hadn't liked being stupid then! And there
had been times, too-Barbara herself open

STOCKS IRREGULAR

General List Continues S
Heavy, With Oils and

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

special DlSpatcn 10 lne star.
NEW YORK, April 4.-Up to the last
hour today's stock market was heavy
and reactionary affair. Eventually, how
ever, it developed an oversold condi-
ton and toward the end rallied as
shorts took in their contracts.
All through the session there were
individual stocks and groups which
stood out conspicuous for their resist
ance. Sugar stocks were strong from
start to finish.
From time to time there was heavy
buying in the metal shares and there
was never any weakness in General
Motors, U. S. Steel common or a num-
Der of other pivotal industrials.
The selling affected principally the
railway stocks, among which Union
Pacific was the chief sufferer. Eastman
Kodak and j. I. Case were two other
weak spots.
Wheat made a new high on the re-
covery during the day, but did not hold
the gain. closing 1s to 3s lower. Corn
and oats were up at the end. Sugar
was consistently strong.
Whatever view the market took of the
farm relief proposals, there was no hint
that 1t considered them inflationary
The general list was heavy and inclined
to sag all through the morning. Farm
Implement stocks sold off regardless OF
the action of the wheat market. Traders
seemed to have vague concern over
the position of these manufacturers as
farm creditors under the new set-up
]. l. Case was particularly weak.
Selling continued in stocks which had
been under pressure the day before
among them Eastman Kodak and
Standard Oil of New Jersey. The for
mer was offered on the annual report
which showed so heavy falling off o!
earnings on the year, and the latter on
the news reports, indicating no prog
ress in control of production. Eastman
Kodak made a new 1888 low
The rails were heavy without excep-
tion In the forenoon. Union Pacific
dropped 2 to 8 points. Among the
utilities Consolidated Gas sold at ap-
proximately its old low and Common
wealth g. Southern preferred at a new
low. American Can, Allied Chemical
and Air Reduction sagged.
On the other hand the gold mining
stocks were strong and the sugar
shares gave a good account of them
selves under the leadership of Ameri-
can Sugar. helped by the continued
strength in the commodity. For a
time there was buying of the metal
stocks, particularly st. Joseph Lead.

LOS ANGELES, April 4.-Newspa-
per readers today are spending II per
cent more for merchandise than nom
readers, according to a survey just
completed by the journalism depart
ment of the University of Southern
California. Since acceleration of the
circulation of money is the paramount
need Of the hour, this survey reveals
the important part which newspapers
are playing in restoring normal buying.
It bears out convincingly the fact that
advertising today Is what is needed to
get sales results. That the advertisers
of the country are aware of this i'm
portant truth Is indicated by the swift
leap forward which newspaper adver-
tising lineage has taken during the

SPECIAL HOLY YEAR

An anniversary which perhaps few
thought about until the Pope called atten-
ton to it recently is at lend, it being 1900
years since the death of Christ, ACCORD g
to popular belief. AS all scholars are
aware, the exact date of the Masters death
is not known, neither is that of his birth.
In proclaiming a special holy year for
observance by Catholics from / s. 81 Sun
day, April 2, 1888, until April 2, 1884, the
Pope said: eve are not sure whether the
anniversary should fall in 1853 or 1884
The year 1888 is generally associated in
the minds of simple citizens Win 30 A. D.,
when Christ is believed to have d. ;"
1t is quite universally agreed by
scholars, within the church and without,
that our present calendar is in error with
respect to the BEGINNING of the Christian
era. Most authorities believe from ex-
haustive historical researches made con-
corning the matter that Christ was born
three or more years earlier than our
calendar indicates.
The period of his active ministry is
also uncertain, but is thought to have been
about three years, ending in his crucifixion
at the approximate age Of 33. The Gospels
give little definite information with re-
spect to any of these dates, and secular
history is almost silent regarding the life
of Christ.
In any event, the special holy year
will be observed as stated The Pope said
. IL ,sofO
find more certain calculations for fixing
the exact date they will know how TO do
their duty as we do ours now"

JOKE OR PUZZLE

According to Time, the news
magazine, Wall Streeters were telling one
another the following story last week as
a joke. 1t Is really a puz2ler.
A travelling salesman stopping at a
siaall-town hotel approached the cashier
one morning. I'm carrying more money
than like to-" he said importantly. ''Will
YOU take care of this SI00 bill for me?"
The cashier put it in the safe. gave re-
ceipt.
The hotels butcher called to collect
what was due him. Sfo0. The drummer $
money being handy, the cashier paid with
that. The butcher went on down the
street, paid his rent S1oo. The landlord
owed his lawyer 500. The lawyer owed
the doctor. The doctor owed the hotel
500. Before dark the same 500 bill was
back in the hotels safe. In came the drum
ner.
''Thanks,' he said as the clerk handed
over the money, To big-city friend the
drummer said, as they strolled out of the
lobby: Il had that hick all hot and
bothered, keeping that 500 bill for me.
It's stage money! and to impress other
hicks, he used the bill to light cigar.

BABE AND HIS TROUBLES

Pity Babe Ruth! In the midst of his
annual war against weight the rumor
spreads that the great Banbino this year
is to be asked to take cut of $4,000 in
his annual salary for clouting home runs
for the New York Yankees. It is hard
enough for a man of his years weighing
229 pounds to reduce his girth, without che
additional worries of what is going to hap
pen when he and Colonel Jacob Rupert
get together to discuss his contract.
The last conference resulted in a slash
from $50 900 to $4,000 And now there
is talk that Babe win be asked to take $50,
600 for gamboling on the greensward in
Yankee Stadium next summer.
It has been suggested that the other
clubs in the American League should con-
tribute to Babes salary. That is not bad
idea at all, when one considers what Babe
means to baseball. Last year, for in
stance. Babe was i'll OIL one of the trips TO
Chicago and it was estimated that the
White Sex receipts dropped $4,000 as a
result. Later in the season the Boston Red
Sox and Cleveland played to about 5000
spectators in Boston. The next day with
Ruth in the lineup there were eS, 600 cash
customers on hand.
