"HERE is something in the air
on Memorial day that grips the
heart. With Jumps in our
threats, we see the time-scarred
Civil war veterans ride by, and
wonder how many will be left in
the ranks for another year. With
our tears, we water the flowers
on the graves of our soldier dead on
Memorial day. We think of those
who fell in the fray of all wars and
are infinitely sad.
But, while we muse, a band
sweeps down the street to stirring
martial air. The glorious stars and
stripes float before our eyes. Our
pulses quicken and we thrill through
and through with patriotism. For
the moment, we forget the sorrow
and futility of war and the pitiful
mounds in which our soldier boys
are sleeping.
Truly, our emotions are at war
on Memorial day. Then, as at no
other time, we realize that our in
tellect is mere atom afloat on a
sea of feeling. Intelligence tells us
that war never settled anything.
Emotion tells us that when the band
plays and the flag floats by, we can
do no less than join in the parade
and be the first to step forth for our
country when we are challenged.
While we stand beside the heroes
graves and reflect, we should make
a solemn resolve that, inaSmuch as
we are able, we shall see that
"these dead shall not have died in
vain" The lad in blue or olive
drab would have fallen joyfully if
he could have gone with the assur-
ance that he was giving up his life
that those at home would have their
future safety assured, and that
boys to be born after him would be
spared the horror he had known on
the battlefield.
They, dying, threw the torch to
us. This Memorial day, let us re-
solve anew to hold it high and work
for abiding peace in all nations.

Public Nuisance.

One of the worst of motoring nuis-
ances Is the abuse of automobile
horns. Too many motorists make a
practice of sitting in their cars at
the curb, repeatedly blowing the horn
to let friend in an adjoining house
or apartment know that they are
there waiting. This is an unmitigated
nuisance, disturbing to every one

NEW YORK, January 25-A sharp
drop in the value of memberships in
the New York Stock Exchange was
indicated today when arrangements
were made fol a transfer at Sl05.O00,
drop Of $4,000. or 21.7 per cent,
from the last previous transaction.
The lowest price for memberships
in 1867 Was established December
!. when a sale was mad. at $4,000.
The high was sl74,000 last Feb

Brokers said regulations shortly to
be issued by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, further restrict
ing activities of floor traders and spe-
cialists, had made memberships less
attractive to those divisions of the
Exchange.
The regulations, some brokers ex-
pected, will separate the functions Of
brokers and dealers and restrict the
work of specialists to sales and pur-
chases which must be shown to have
been for the good of the market. This,
many traders think, viii cut down
the number OF transactions, with a
consequent decline in commissions.

Quarterly Payments.

BY tie Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 25-E. l. du
Pont de Nemours g. Co. announced
today its decision to discontinue reg
ular quarterly dividends" and to in
stitute in their place individual
quarterlies.
In the new dividend terminology, di-
rectors will declare quarterly in
terim" disbursements in the first three
periods and a "year-end" payment in
the fourth quarter, the company
stated.
The change, it was said, was de-
cided upon to relieve directors from
feeling somewhat constrained to
maintain the uniform dividend rate"
at times when the company's financial
position or the current economic con-
ditions warrant a change in the rate.
The effect of the Federal undistrib-
uted profits tax was also given as
reason for making the change in the
method Of declaring dividends.
