people wanted the embargo re-
pealed and the Zenieth was
reached at G2 per cert for the
administration bill shortly after
the Presidents speech. However,
the day that the House passed
the bill and congress adjourned
the Gallup Poll reported a drop
to Sc per cent faXoring the en-
barge recall. Various other polls
failed to record the same way
as the Gallup Poll. In Illinois, a
newspaper poll showed 20 to l
against the administration bill.
ar indianapolis newspaper poll
ran 3-tO-1 against repeal and a
Valparaiso, Ind, newspaper pol
showed about the same results.
in West Virginia, poll conduct
ed by the Wheeling Intelligencer
showed 4-to-1 opposig repeal Of
the embargo and the AP report
ed that mail to West Virginia
representatives in Washington
was 81 per cent against repeal.
Of the West Virginia delegation
in Washington, only two voted
to keep the arms embargo, Sen.
Holt, Democrat, and Congress-
man Schiller, Republican. The
latest poll issued by the Ameri-

The Low Down from Hickory
Grove

With the war crowdirg even
divorces and murders out of
the news, it is not so hard to
savvy why we don't pay too
much attention to Uncle Samuel
when he borrows another 10 or
IL million just to pay the IN
terest on other money which he
borrowed before.
Borrowing money to pay IN
terest on other borrowed money,
brother, that is borrowir'.
How Uncle Samuel manages
to kee p out of the calaboose,
while the SEC puts other pers-
ons in, for too high financing, it
is kinda mystifying.
- But the most of us, l reckon,
we are kinda like the young
duck when he graduated there
at the Champaign and Urbana
university. On the day he gradu-
ated, the Professor said to him:
young teller, you are now
finishing here asd there is just
one thing you do not know
you don't know yet, that you
don't know anything"
l guess maybe one of the
things the Professor had in
mind, it musta been politics.
Yours with the low down,

the American people would lead
us into war orce it broke out a
broad (and many made exactly

best efidence available, the mar

A late Fortune poll is of ex-

the poll, only II per cent of the
people believed we should enter
the war or the side Of the allies.

Open Season OF Fire.

Americans like Their comfort.
AS soon as cold weather sets Ill
heating plants are started 1ull
blast in millions OF homes and
business establishments. Where
systems are not checked over
there is a very real possibility
of destructive fire. Statistics
how great Increase in fire
loss as the cold season advances.
Heating equipment should be
inspected for defective, rusted
or broken parts. 1t should be
thoroughly cleaned, along with
the chimney. If necessary, call III
heating expert to put the
system in proper working order.
1t is a good idea also to look for
hot parts in the heater that may
be charring burnable materials
nearby. Unless there is suffi-
cient clearance for safety, the
infammable material should be
protected by asbestos and sheet
metal separated by air space.
Everyone should know that
his stove and heater is safe and
that the small repairs put off to
some convenient time are done
now. Inspectio of flues and CHM
neys is an AFT almost extinct,
and a practice that every man
should apply to his home. The
half hour it takes to inspect the
J average chimney-make sure it
has no holes in it Except at top
md bottom) may save you the
expense of refurnishing a new
home-a job that takes years
if it does not save your life or
those of your family.
Fires that are so big the flames
90 half way up the chimney are
Doth a waste of fuel and real
menace. The outdoors is too big
for a CRATE fire to warm up.
If there is a small hole in a flue
fix it with cement before sparks
find it, as they usually do some
cold night around 2 a. M.
Home electric work as a rule
is best done by an electrician.
The amateur electrician has
caused more fires than you think.

To pile up more evidence in

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Stock
market prices crumbled today as
fresh fears over foreign develop
ments gave Wall street case Of the
shivers.
Virtually all departments were
subjected to heavy selling in the first
hour, large blocks of the leaders
changing hands at losses of l TO 3
points. Several recessions of or so
were in evidence at the start. At the
approach of the fourth hour, few
signs of recovery were to be seen.
Touching off fears of untoward
happenings in Europe was the i'm
minent Spanish war crisis, with
Frances insurgent forces almost in
Barcelona. In addition, cloudiness
of the German financial picture, fol-
lowing the ousting of DR.. Schacft,
head of the Reichsbank, was thought
to have chilled speculative senti.
ment.
Overseas Securities Fall.
Offerings of American stocks from
London and Amsterdam were said to
have been considerably larger than
usual, and overseas securities mar
kets gave ground readily.
Among shares conspicuous on the
downside were U. S. Steel, Bethle-
hem. General Motors, Chrysler.
Westinghouse. Dupcnt, Johns-Man-
vile, U. S. Gypsum, Anaconda, U. S.
Rubber, Douglas Aircraft, Montgom-
cry Ward, American Telephone,
Santa Fe, New York Central. Con-
solidated Edison and J. I. Case.
Off fractions to a point or so in
the Curb were Electric Bond g.
Share, American Gas, Grumman
Aircraft and Newmont Mining.
While business prospects provided
no particular stimulation for the
markets, a bright spot could be de-
tected here and there on the hor-
lion.
Auto Sales Improve.
Noted were estimates that the first
10 days of January showed an aver
age improvement in automotive sales
of about 80 per cent over the same
1888 period. The showdown from
December was believed to have
been much less than seasonal.
Petroleum shares did relatively
well as the export demand for gaso-
line was reported to have picked up
briskly. December's gain of to
10 per cent in shipments over the
| 1887 month was expected to bs
widened further in January.
