BONDS TIGHTEN
IN NEARLY ALL
SECTIONS
BY MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Feb. II UN.S).
The bond market frightened up
in virtually all sections of the
list in the forepart of the session
today, with a drying up of offer
ings enabling many active obliga-
tions to make some headway.
U. S. Issues Strong
A strong tone was displayed by
the majority of United States
Government issues, with the Lib
erty 1st 4As up 2-32 at 102.24;
Liberty 4th 414s up 4-32 at 1894,
and Treasury As up 232 at 105.-
28. The Treasury IS held un.
changed at 97.14.
Rail liens improved slightly,
with fractional gains recorded by
the Baltimore & Ohio 412s of '33,
Baltimore & Ohio 412s of 80,
New York Central 412s new, Mis-.
souri, Pacific SIS A and Southern
Pacific 412s of '81.
Foreign Liens Firm
Foreign governments also did
better, with the German 5l2s up
"a at SIS, French 712s UP "a at
12424, Belgium Is of '56 up 1s at
104, and United Kingdom 5l2s
unchanged at 1061s.

WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
POPULAR RIDER
TOAGA|N ENTER.
CHASE RACES
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Carroll Kinney Bassett, noted
sculptor-steeplechase rider, who
topped winning riders in Amer
ica's 1892 hunt race meetings with
II victories, II seconds and 6
thirds in so starts, will probably
again enter the lists in 1888.
This years series of hunt race
meetings starts with the fourth
contention for the Carolina cup
at Camden, S. c., on March IS,
the day after the Grand National
Steeplechase at Aintree, England.
Mention of BaSsett's name
brings to mind an Oft told story
of superstition so often prevalent
among persons interested in
horses.
The 27-year-old sculptor-rider is
part owner of the Rams Head
stable, so named by his mother,
after the heavenly ram, leader
of the stars. Last year, the faith
of those who are superStitiouS was
sorely tried because of a curious
circumstance attendant on a race
in which a Rams Head stable
horse was contender.
Aries Also in Race
Bassett sent his horse to the
post only to discover that another
in the race was named Aries,
which is the Latin for the ram
of the heavens.
It was heavenly ram against
heavenly ram, as it were, with the
superstitious on both sides of the
race visibly worried about it all.
However, those on the Bassett
side came off quite victorious,
much to the discomficture of
those on the other side of the
superstition, for the Rams Head
stable entry won. Those opposed
to the Bassett faction in the
leader of the stars superstition
have given over Latin for the
more conventional and somewhat
easier English language ever since
the famous race.
Apropos the naming after Aries
of the Skies of Bassett's Rams
Head stable by his mother, it is
interesting to note that for many
years there has been a famous
spinney in England with a like
name which has gained world
wide renown as center for eX-
celIent th0r0llohhredS
Best 1892 Horse
Bassett, by the way, has fash
ioned bronze of Annapolis,
steeplechasing son of Man O. War,
whom the sculptor-rider classifies
as the best horse he rode in 1892
when Annapolis chose to run"
At the moment he is engaged in
creating panel in bas relief of
Troublemaker, the Berrildon-The
Busybody gelding which Noel
Laing will ride in the Grand Ma
tional at Aintree, and which won
the 1882 Maryland Gold Cup, over
such stars as Benjamin Leslie

Wrestlers who performed in
Washington last night on Joe

pleasure of seeing themselves in
the moving pictures following
the bouts, being the guests at
the Spanish Embassy of Ambas-

was formerly a representative of

Circulation
Highest in
History

Soaring by $149, 100000 last
week, February Is, money in
circulation totalled $5,854,000, 900,
a new all-time high level, ac'
cording to Federal Reserve Board
figures today.
Circulation is now $4,000, 900
above the previous high point
of $5,775,O0O,0OO reached last
July 6, and $245,OOo,OOo higher
than year ago.
HOarding Admitted
Officials admitted frankly that
boarding is on the increase and
expressed hope that the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
and other agencies will meet
the problem in Michigan.
Closing of banks in other Gen.
ters and the fact that solvent
banks are maintaining extraor-
dinarily large supplies Of vault
cash to guard against any emer-
gency also contributed to the
increase in circulation.
Normally at this period there
is an increase in circulation
owing to increasing business, but
that influence hardly can be
said to be operating at this time.
Gold on Wing
Gold continued the outward
movement, the loss for the week
having been $24,O00,000, with
total stocks $4,511, 100000, an in
crease of $142,OO0,OO0 in a year.
Gold stocks have declined $751;
100000 since January Is, when
the present outward flow started,
following a long period of in
crease.

only WOULD deceive her q

more than 80 per cent in
love. just a trifle more emo
tional enthusiasm, even if spu-
rious, would be so much more
convincing. But the average
man is too intent on making
the world safe for bachelors
to give a woman any false
hopes. His design for loving
includes no risk Of wedding

In grandmother's day, there
may have been unSophisticated
maidens, who were betrayed
into or out of marriage. But
no modern girl is sufficiently
naive to be fooled, even if a
man would take the TROUBLE
to fool her.
The old-fashioned villain may
have deceived a woman by pre-
tending to love her when he
didn't. But the only way in
which today's VILLAIN" tries to
fool a woman is by pretending
NOT to love her when he DOES.
A modern girl hasn't known a
man half an hour before she
has him all classified and Cata-
logued. He doesn't even bother
to whiteWaSh himself or to con-
ceal his faults from her. In
deed he seems to enjoy paint
ing himself q little darker than
he really is-a little more cyni-
cal, tickle or abandoned to sin.
So, when a girl walks up the
middle-aisle, today, she knows
exactly what's going to meet
her at the altar. Marriage is
no longer a dangerous gamble
for the woman. It's more apt
to be a delightful surprise.
And when one of these

salary to work about the home,
and still have money to spend
for things she wants.
Perhaps the things she de-
sires most are justifiable, as
better furnishings.
But many husbands are averse
to their wives working outside
the home.
It makes it appear as though
they could not provide a home,
is the husbands idea.
And this attitude causes a lot
Of trouble.
Young folk should have a
thorough understanding of this
