Materials:

ROOFTNG-Before buying ma
terial for a new roof, have a COM
petent architect or builder tell you
if your home can hold the weight.
Such materials as slate-eXcellent
in themselves-are so heavy that
walls must be strong.
PAINT-When purchasing paint
for radiators, remember utility as
well as beauty should be served
To get the most from radiation
the radiators should be coated
with flat paint in a very light
shade. Dark tints help hold heat
within the radiator.

10 Low-YieId Bonds

NEW YORK. September 7.-Heavy
and sustained selling hit the bond
market today and prices tumbled from
as much as l to points in one of the
worst breaks of the year.
Convertible issues and railroad
liens took the heaviest hammering.
Federal loans joined the downslide
with the whole list off from 1872 to
1892 of a point.
Fear of war in Europe shook the
financial community and there was a
total lack of resistance to the deluge
OF offerings. Studebaker IS dropped
nearly points and American Type
Founders convertibles was off around
5 points
st. Paul SIS fell around 2 points
and International Hydroelectric IS.
Great Northern 4s, Southern Railway
As and Illinois Central 4as dropped
more than 2 points. Losses in the
utility and industrial divisions ranged
from fractions to point or more.
Foreign dollar loans sagged with
renewed weakness cropping out in
japanese issues. Declines of frac-
tions to around point were the rule.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September THE
annual report of Associated Gas g.
Electric Corp. issued today shows
that over the last 10 years expansion
of services and acquisition of proper
ties have increased operating revenues
fourfold, from s28,o63,026 to s115.-
810,346.
However, operating expenses and
taxes increased almost five times, and
this, plus a substantial increase In
provision for retirements, retarded the
gain in operating income. This last
item was sl0.913.e55 in 1926 and grew
to s34 4,945,174 in 1896.
Effect of these forces is seen par
ticularly in data for the years 1896
and 1886. In 1880 operating revenues
were s84,219,293 and in 1885 they
were sl15,810,346, yet in both years
operating income was between s34,-
100000 and 35,0o0.o0o.

j. s. BORROWING
PROGRAM CURBED
Treasury Has Enough Money
on Hand, According to
Morgenthau.
By the Associated Press.

Secretary Morgenthau curtailed a
Treasury borrowing program yester-
day, explaining that I'VE have
enough money on hand and there is
no reason for further borrowing"
He also told reporters that holders
of s8l7,000,000 of 81 per cent Fed
eral notes maturing September Is
would be offered a choice Of two ex-
change issues-1A per cent 15-month
notes or 2 per cent five-year notes.
Discussing the Treasurys weekly
sales of s50,oo0,O0o in discount bills,
the Secretary said he had decided to
discontinue these issues.
Sold in anticipation OF fourth
quarter tax receipts December Is,
recent issues have aggregated s450,-
100000. The Treasury originally had
announced the series would total
$500 100000.
I'VE won't need as much money as
we thought" Morgenthau said
With the balances on hand, We
feel perfectly comfortable"
Reports Relief Drop.
The Treasury chief reported that
expenditures for recovery and re-
lief" thus far this fiscal year have
dropped about one-third under last
year. Exclusive of a drop in repay
ments to lending agencies, he said
Federal finances have improved over
last year.
Asked why the deficit this year had
increased over that a year ago, Nor
genthau referred the question to DAN
lei w. Bell acting budget director,
who said: II don't think that is any,
thing to worry about. 1t has been
due to special factors in the first two
months of this year"
Excluding lending agencies, Nor
genthau said, Expenditures this year
are running approximately as esti-
mated"
After September Is. he added. the
Treasury will resurvey its cash needs
and the money markets to determine
whether to begin a new series of dis
count bills. Bills might then be is
sued against March income tax re-
ceipts.
Balance at s1,100, 900 900.
At present the Treasury's cash
working balance totals approximately
81 10000 900. About S500,000 900 in
cash will flow into the balance through
third-quarter income tax collections
September Is. This money, however,
will go to retire s35o,00o.000 of ma
turing bills and to help pay s168, ,00O,-
900 Of interest due on the public
debt
The Treasurys offer to exchange
2 per cent five-year notes for the ma
turing 3l4 per cent issue represented
the highest rate offered on such
paper since 1884.
Morgenthau said that expanding
commercial borrowing had tended to
stiffen money rates and that st is
only natural the Treasury has to pay
more"

islative authority by declaring uncon-
stitutional acts of Congress. In brief
ignoring his own record and words, the
President assails the court from q
wholly different angle from that Of
his first assault.
But, in the latest as in the first, he
ignores the facts. For one, he ignores
the fact that the oldest justice of all
Justice Brandies, who is SOS the
most liberal of the nine and, except in
the NRA case, has voted consistently
to sustain New Deal legislation. For
another, he ignores the fact that out of
the $4,000 laws enacted by Congress
since its creation, only seventy-seven
have been declared unconstitutional by
the court; that many of these were
inconsequential acts; that of seventy
seven invalidated only eleven were by
five-to-four decisions. Eleven in $50
years does not seem a great many
Yet, one would gather from the tone of
the Presidents discourse and that of
his friends that the fve-to-four decis-
ions were the common practice of the
court. Further, many of them make it
appear crime not to have all decisions
unanimous, though the one that was
unanimOus-the NRA-seemed most
iniquitous of any to the President and
is the real reason for the effort to
seize the court now.
There is one ether thing which the
President forgets-or at least does not
state-when he charges the court was
usurping legislative power because it
declares New Deal legislation uncon-
stitutional. This is that he is the first
President ever to urge upon Congress
the passage of laws regardless of any
doubts it might have of their cOnstitu-
tionality. He is the only President to
present sweeping and drastic measures
which no authirity at the time thought
were within the Constitution, trusting
to the court to follow the lead of rub
ber-stamp Congress and pull with
him. His grievance is not the age of its
members and not its tive-to-four de-
cisions. His real grievance is because
he found majority there that stood
firm and could not be pushed over His
grievance is against its dignity and its
independence.

Drive Ordered to
End Hitch Hiking.

Orders to end hitch hiking on state
highways went out to members of the
Highway patrol this week after re-
ports of several accidents had reached
the Highway department. Glitch hik-
ing is dangerous practice" said N. W.
Elsberg, state highway commissioner
I'VE have had considerable trouble with
persons on the highways soliciting rides,
endangering their own lives.
1.-THE new traffic code is very plain
in its ruling against hitch hiking. It
says: No person shall stand in road
way for the purpose of soliciting a ride
from the driver of any private vehicle.
That is plain enough and I have in
structed the patrol to arrest violators.
Violation of the code on hitch hiking
IS a misdemeanor, punishable by fine
of not more than 500, or by imprison-
ment of not more than 80 days.
The patrol has also been instructed
to give special attention to enforcement
of the law on dimming of headlights
Glaring headlights are causing &C.
cidents in Minnesota almost daily, &C.
cording to John P. Arnoldy, chief of the
patrol. The new traffic code makes II
a misdemeanor to fail to dim lights
with the same penalty as for hitch
hiking.
The patrol also urged coution wher
pleasure cars follow trucks too closely
as the trucks have power brakes anc
.fn
accidents have been caused by pleasure
vehicles hitting trucks from the rear
Mr.. Arnoldy said.
