STOCK AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

AooOClabE0 EAroo GAAlAASAaA WAibCAs
NEW YORK, September 21.-Mild
rallying tendencies appeared in today's
brief stock market session, but there
was still sufficient selling to keep the
list somewhat of balances
Traders appeared to have recovered
partially from their severe war fright
Of yesterday and nibbling at selected
issues was noted. The close was
moderately irregular. Transfers ap-
proximated $4,000 shares.
Despite the rejection by the MusSo-
ini cabinet Of the League Of Nations
peace proposals in the Italo-E Ethiopian
controversy, Wall Street saw hopes of
a compromise and some short covering
was based on this thesis. In addition,
few bargain hunters appeared In the
board rooms with the idea of shaving
profits on at least a temporary tech
nical rebound.
Commodities that were run up on
the prospects of hostilities starting
soon were inclined to back up as ideas
Of a new confagration were revised.
Shares about unchanged to slightly
improved included Montgomery Ward,
General Electric, Westinghouse, West
ern Union, Consolidated Gas, National
Dairy, Electric Auto-Lite, Anaconda,
Kennecott, Union Pacific, N. Y. Cen
tral, Santa Fe and Great Northern.
Among losers of about point each
were Air Reduction, Allied Chemical
and U. S. Smelling. Such stocks as
General Motors, Chrysler, Case, U. S.
Steel and Bethlehem moved a shade
in either direction.
Offerings from abroad were still
factor in the range of securities prices.
but commission houses with foreign
connections said that liquidation from
these sources appeared to have les
sented considerably.
In line with this. it was pointed
out that the situation now, so far
as foreign holdings In the United
States are concerned, is much differ
ent than in 1874. Then most Of the
proceeds Of sales was shipped back
to Europe. Funds derived from recent
transactions, however, were under
stood to have been allowed to re-
main in New York Prom this, opti-
miStic brokers deduced that when, as
and If, a substantial rebound gets
under way, many commitments will be
reinStated.
oMst market commentators were
chary of predicting nearby trends
pending Qualification Of the foreign
outlook, but the majority warned
against disturbing long-pun positions
In equities at this time.
While the principal attention Of
financial circles was centered on Rome
and Geneva, continued improvement
in domestic trade and industry wa
not neglected.

PACIFIC MANEUVER
OF NAVY PRAISED
Command Pleased With
Precision Shown by
Battle Fleet.
By the Associated Press.

ABOARD BATTLESHIP PENN
SYLVANIA, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
May l5.-Remarkable precision and
intricate navigation displayed by the
main battle fleet of the United States
Navy in strategic deployment on It's
recent dash across the Pacific from
California to Hawaii was reported to-
day to be highly gratifying to the
high command.
This first phase Of the sixteenth
annual fleet maneuvers proved a val
liable test Of the operation of a high
seas battle force between far distant
bases, high officers indicated. It also
demonstrated the abilities of the
worlds most powerful submarine di-
vision.
High success was attained both by
the battleships and the undersea
craft, officers said, and the fact that
each division checkmated operations
of the other at some stage of the
westward dash proved the effective
ness of both.
The world-cruising submarines
demonstrated their scouting and
tracking ability, refusing day after
day to be shaken of by the main
fleet, though the latter used some of
its most intricate stratagems in at
tempting to lose the diving craft.
On the other hand, navigators of
the high seas battle feet won their
victories just as decisively, using COM
plicated night deployments to thwart
absolutely the submarine divisions
attempt at a dawn attack.
What was perhaps the most irreg-
ular course toward Hawaii ever fol-
lowed by power craft was laid out and
adhered to by the fleet. AT the end
Of the 2,400 miles, the Pennsylvania,
Admiral Joseph NJ Reeves flagship,
led the fleet into sight of Oahu Island
within the hour which had been
scheduled for its arrival before the
start of the cruise.
The White Fleet" main battle
force of the Navy. was concentrated
here in Pearl Harbor today, ready to
dash to sea at any moment to repel
an advance by the Black Fleet" rep
resenting mythical enemy. from its
unknown concentration point.

In our national cross-road puzzle
there Is little flve-letter word mean
ing disaster" and it is spelled
s-p-e-e-d.
Many traffic authorities claim that
speed was the leading cause of our
toll Of 35,500 traffic deaths and more
than a million injuries during 1884
Others agree that it is, one of two
or three of the most important causes.
The energy Of moving body is in
proportion to the square of the speed.
When speed is increased from 20 to
40 miles per hour the energy is multi
piled not by 2. but by 4. A jump
from 20 to go miles means the
energy is multiplied by 9. Which
means that your automobile will go
that much farther before 1t can be
stopped safely.
OF course, 1t can be stopped much
quicker than that If it happens to
crash into a solid object!
Highway haste stumbles over its
own heels and causes inexcusable
waste of life and property. Speed
may be highly desirable at times, but
safety Is absolutely necessary always.
Just remember that death rides the
running board when you drive too
fast!

since 1t had the trouble with the

Against this gain, however, must

What's What

Dawes Boom Prediction
Not Backed-Bonus
Talks Fumbled.
by PAUL MALLON,

TINE fact that a business figure
like Gen. Dawes, former Re-
publican Vice President, keeps
L on predicting an early business
boom has spurred economists
here to ascertain how much there
Is in what he says.
From what they have been able
to learn, the general Is playing
personal hunch. His facts are sub
stantial, but they leak little IN cer-
tain corners.
For instance. the general likens the
existing situation to 1921. He points
out that q depression then caused an
accumulation Of deferred demand for
durable goods. 1t caused y boom
after the brief depression. The de-
ferred replacements Of industry now
are tremendous A big boom would
certainly result II these frozen mar
kets were suddenly opened.
But there are several reasons why
the best economists hesitate to agree
that the time has yet arrived for
repeating the history Of 1921.
Europe Is Not Buying.
All business factors were favorable
In 1921. Prices were right. The
war waste had depleted most lines.
Europe had to be rebuilt. There was
no widespread unemployment. The
political element was encouraging.
