REACT|ONARY TONE
Brokers Notice Lower Nets
Resulting From Higher
Operating Costs.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 23-Reac-
tionary sentiment prevailed in Wall
Street today. Rails and a number of
leading industriaS and specialties met
sizable offerings.
The pound sterling gave up more
than q cent against the dollar in the
exchange market, but gold monies
improved mildly.
Corporate news was none too en-
couraging. Sentiment appeared to
have been adversely affected by the
report of National Biscuit Of 1884,
net equal to ST. a share, compared
with S211 in the previous year, and
IN profits to cents share against
s1.20 in 1888
Those who have had constructive
view toward some of the rails were
discouraged, some Wall Street circ,eS
reported. by recent remarks of Chair
man Jesse Jones of the ReconStruc-
ton Finance Corp. He implied much
less lenient attitude on the part of the
Government agency toward loans to
financially embarrassed carriers,
where these roads appeared to be IN
need of financial reorganization.
Some brokerage circles particularly
noted the fact that both National
Biscuit and Dominion Stores revealed
sharp declines in net despite the fact
that gross business secured during
the year held fairly steady.
The question apparently troubling
many spectators and investors was
the extent to which corporation
profits might be suffering from rising
wage and material costs which more
than offset stationary or moderately
increasing amount of business done.
Many leaders were off major frac-
tions to 1i2 points or so. Santa Fe
was a weak feature at AIS, of 214.
Others / to around 2 points lower
each included U. S. Steel common at
331a and the preferred at 83l4, Wool
worth at 54l2, Allied Chemical at
1885,, International Harvester at 36as,

Without Debate

The House. Monday sitting the town council of the
District passed eleven bills affecting the National Capital All
of them important and two of them providing for odage
pensions and unemployment compensation rreachng
import
Yet with all these bills introducing policies and in
vovng millions of dollars of the District taxpayers money
THERE WAS NOT SINGLE WORD OF DEBATE ON ANY
OF THE MEASURES
The bills called up, given cursory reading and passed
without any record vote No explanation of any of the bills
was asked for or given.
This fact may be tribute to the ability of Representative
Mary Nortons Committee the District may that
the carefully drawn and consentousy
pared that dispute their wisdom their perfecon
could be raised.
We trying to deract from the efforts of the
mee but it would that in the House would
know something about at least Of nearly dozen
measures that were passed
Maybe the members think just isn't worth while to bother
about the National Capital and its affairs Maybe they think
that the trainers of the Constitution did not consider the mat
ter important when they placed upon Congress the duty of
exercising exclusive legislative authority the seat of Gov
eminent.
Some Representatives devote great deal of their time to
the Districts affairs time which their constituents be-
eve should be devoted them For the attention which these
members give the Capital local residents properly grateful
Yet it is unquestionabe that where bills of the Importance
those passed Monday concerned District residents
would feel much comfortable greater general interest
were shown.

Once Overs
Easily Acquired Weaknesses


Do you ever try to discipline
yourself?
Or do you follow your inclina-
lions, no matter how self-detri'
mental they may be?
You know that some of your
habits are causing your family
and friends considerable con"
Germ, but you won't deprive
yourself to the extent Of discon-
tinuing them.
You like to do what you wish,
say what you please and in
general conduct yourself with
out regard for anyone else.
If you were told that your
habits are gaining a foothold in
your life and that you are in
danger of being unable to over
come them, you would scott at
such an idea.
Try to deny yourself the
things you like best.
Then you will realize how
much you are aQQ1CCeQ 10 Cne4r
use.
You may say to yourself that
if you really desired to drop
those habits you could, but it
wouldn't work out that way.
That is merely an excuse that
you are making to delude your
self.
You know the truth is that
you have not the strength of
character to subject yourself to
the discipline self-control re-
quires.
Are you not often alarmed by
the evidence of weakness you
manifest?

Just when Howard Scott the slightly shopworn apostle Of

fifteen twenty years behind the times.
The average American think will agree with Mr.. Ket-
terng, who says:

happy, shouldn't she? But she
isn't. Ever since she was a
little girl Meta has felt "out of
it,
She is shy and awkward and
plain. These things can be
remedied and Meta has tried to
remedy them in a feeble, hope
less sort of way. But she has
never succeeded-She has never
been able to conquer the dis
couragement which lies at the
core of her spirit.
She is terribly unhappy. She
can't work up any excitement
about anything-either about
herself or about life. And she
thinks she might as we'll kill
herself and be done with it all.
LIFE OVERWHELMS
Many other young people are
feeling like that. This swift,
colorful period in history is
proving too much for them.
They can't somehow swing into
line.
BUT IF YOU CAN GIVE
THEM SOMETHING WHICH
MAKES THEM SEEM IMPOR-
TANT TO THEMSELVES,
THEN RHYTHM IS
CHANGED,
After Meta had her cry I told
her of something which a man
said 1000 years ago. If ever a
man had reason to have an in
feriority complex, Epictetus did.
for he was a crippled slave.
Yet, despite his shackles, he
turned life into a great adven-
ture, and left his powerful mark
on human history.
At first he wasn't of the least
Importance to anyone. He was
of so little Importance that his
master broke his leg as punish.

of Sweden in 1910.
Thus the enemy of a king be-

On the Riviera they know
Gustav as Mr.. c., a likeable gen.
