Issues Narrow.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 26.-Second-
ary railroad and industrial issues re-
corded substantial gains in today's
week end bond market. Prime in
yestments and United States Gov
ernment obligations were narrow and
q trifle irregular.
Lacking any other specific reason
for the strength in lower-priced rail-
road bonds, investment circles were
inclined to credit the advance to an
overflow of investment funds into
semi-Speculative channels, and the
somewhat better outlook for early re-
organizations and capital readjust-
ments of a number of roads now in
financial difficulties.
The various issues of Missouri Pa
cific were especially active, with a
gain of 4 points recorded by the SIS
of 1854 Obligations of other car
riers, up l to 2 or more points, in
cluded Southern Railway 612s at 8412,
Chicago g. Northwestern 4l2s at 24Ss,
Rock Island 4l2S at TIA and Interna-
. tional Great Northern IS at Al.
Among industrials purchased at
gains of l to 2 points were five issues
of Paramount-Publix and Famous
Players Lasky, Warner Brothers 6s,
Bush Terminal IS and New York
Dock SIS. Otis Steel IS were points
. higher at 81. following announcement
that the two interest coupons due in
1884 will be paid next week.
' The Associated Press averages for
20 rails, 10 industrials and 10 utilities
were 06 to is of a point higher.
Government bonds and igh-grade
corporate issues were neglected and
showed only slight changes. Home
Owners Loan 2as made a new high
at $3.50, up 332ds.
Moderate Improvement in Argentine
and German issues featured the for
eign section, which was extremely
quiet.

Du Pont Reveals
Greater Demand
For Fast Colors
Special Dispatch to The Star.

WILMINGTON, Del, January 26.-
Increasing demand for fast colors,
commonly known as wat dyes" in the
trade, is reported by the dyestuffs
division of E. I. du Pont de Nemours
& Co. The company attributes this
increase to the improvement in eco
nomic conditions and a growing de-
sire for fast colors on the part of the
consumer.
Demand for fast dyes suffered in
the depression just as did other COM
modities. There was a steady de-
cline during the latter part of 1929
and the years Immediately following
up to the middle of 1893, the peak be-
ing reached in July of that year, i'm
mediately preceding the going into
effect of the textile code.
The increased demand continued
through 1888 and 1884, the latter
showing substantial gain over the
year previous. The demand has held
up consistently and has carried over
into the present year, with prospects
of the first six months of this year
showing greater demand than for
the same period last year.

Penn Students
Upho|dHdrmdn

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Penn's
student body and alumni today
laid the blame for the teams poor
showing on the gridiron to the
Gates plan rather than to Harvey
Harman, the coach.
It was felt the team had shown
plenty of fight and gameneSS
against Navy but there is a grow
ing feeling Of resentment against
the Gates plan. In the five years
since that plan was started the
Penn football teams have not
had a good season and the
alumni and student body are de-
manding a new football deaf.
I'VE played better against Navy
than we played all year but it
doesn't seem in the cards for us
to win," said Herman today. Our
power seemed to be turned off
when We were in scoring position
and Navy'S was greatest when op-
portunity offered"
Herman denied there was any
trouble brewing in the coaching
ranks. He plans a few changes
in the lineup for Penn state Sat
urday because of injuries.

; Tulsa has lost four games, won
two and tied one this fall but actu-
ally, scouts have reported, it is
as strong as in 1884 when it lost
to but two teams-G. w. and
Texas Christian. And with respect
to material the Oilers are better
fixed than at any time since they
started the feud with the ColonialS
in 1880.
Woke Up
In defeat Tulsa has looked i'm.
pressive this season, excepting
only the opening game when it
bowed to Central State Teachers
of Oklahoma by a go count. In
that tilt the Oilers wouldn't take
their task seriously, and before
they woke up to the fact that they
were in a tough ball game Cen
tral had them down by a field
goal and touchdown.
However, against Southern
Methodist and Texas Christian,
both of whom won by a two-touch-
down margin, Tulsa performed
we'll enough to cause Colonial
scouts to warn "PosSum Jim" Pix
lee that the Golden Hurricane will
blow plenty hard when it strikes
Washington.
Titanic Tack" Dennis, one of
the best fullbacks in the entire
Southwest region, will lead Tulsa
on the field Friday night. This
190-pound triple-threat was Sc
lected as the best fullback in the
State of Oklahoma both in 1888
and 1884.
Local fans saw him give a fine
peri formance here last season when
the Colonials captured their first
game of the series by 100 score.
He does everything we'll on the
gridiron, being as effective on de-
fense as offenSe, and is rugged
enough to withstand rough going
week after week, much the same
as is G. WIS Tuffy Leemans.
The Colonials are keenly mindful
of the proWess of not only Dennis
but every other man on Coacn
Gloomy Gus" Henderson's power,
full squad. They have played
against most of them for two sea-
sons and thus are intimate with
all details of their playing. This
will be the third Tulsa game for
Leemans, Captain Deming, Rath,
jen, Wonder Bruegge, Plotnickl
and Kolker.

against Western Maryland, for
the first time since the seasons
inaugural against La Sale. The
brilliant Herrnie Schmarr, left
end of the team is expected to be
back in the lineup. while Irish
Carroll, sensational sophomore
proved beyond a doubt that he
can weather the gale from the
likes Of the TerrorS by his spec
tacular play against West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan. The Syracuse
sophomore, the only first year la1
to clinch a starting berth on the
c. U. varsity this season, suffered
no i'll effects from his hard work
against the Wesleyan Bobcats,
and the weeks rest which he is
now enjoying will build him into
Adamaitis to Pass
first-class shape by Saturday.
