Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, March 4-Recovery
tendencies crept into today's stock
market and leading issues tackled on
gains of fractions to a point or so.
The light selling of the previous
session dried up at the start and,
while scattered stocks were unable to
shake off small declines, such ad-
vances as appeared we're fairly we'll
maintained at the close.
Demand was moderate throughout
and transfers for the full proceed
ings were around 300, 900 shares.
Sentiment was a bit more cheer
full, brokers said, as the result of the
quick action of Congress in passing
the excess profits tax amendments
supposed to bring relief to many
hard-pressed corporations Busi-
ness developments, including opti-
mistic earnings figures, were on ths
helpful side.
Conservatism in new commitments
apparently still was the watchword,
however, the murky Balkan war
picture persisting as a speculative
restraint and Washington debatg
on the lease-lend bill growing more
acrimonious. Reports of pending
of ff-the-exchange distributions of big
blocks of shares kept some potential
purchasers in wary mood.

Wholesale Commodity
Index Aqain Lower

Another decline occurred in the
general level of wholesale COM
modify prices last week, according
to the price index compiled by the
National Fertilizer Association, which
eased off to 1904 in the week ended
March 1 from 1905 in the preceding
week. This index was 99.8 month
ago and 900 a year ago, based on
the 1863 average as 100.
The food price average was some
what lower, due principally to de-
clines in the prices of meats. The
farm product price index sagged to
the lowest point recorded this year,
with lower quotations for cattle,
hogs and hay more than offsetting
increases in cotton, grains and live
poultry. The fuel index dropped as
a result of a decline in kerosene.
Tin prices were down causing a
recession in the metal group index.
Declines in lumber prices resulted
in a downturn in the building ma
terial average.
A slight decline was also registered
by the index representing the prices
of miscellaneous commodities.
The textile index rose to the high
est point reached since January
1910, with 7 items included in the
group advancing and only one de-
clining. The only other change was
a fractional rise in the fertilizer ma
terial price index.

u. ). Plans 10 Build
Gas Mask Charcoal
Plant in Ohio
Army Buys Equipment
For Non-Combutunts
In Experiment

Negotiations are under way by the
War Department for construction
and operation of a new Government
owned gas mask charcoal plant at
Fostoria, Ohio, it was announced
yesterday. The plant would be
erected by the National Carbon Co.
at cost of about s1,000,000.
The War Department last January
concluded contracts totaling ap-
proximately s10,0000O0 for the pro-
curement of gas mask charcoal and
other chemicals used in gas defen-
sive appliances. More than half of
that amount was to go toward con-
struction of plants which would be
owned by the Government.
A half dozen of the largest
chemical companies in the country
we're involved in the contracts,
designed to build up production of
gas mask chemicals for the rapidly
expanding Army. Other contracts
are to be let from time to time,
especially since the Army has de-
cided to experiment with new low
cost gas mask for civilians.
Small educational" orders given
yesterday to five firms for the
production of non combatant gas
masks gave the first indications of
the Army's widespread aims. Future
orders of these new type civilian
masks will depend on success
achieved under the experimental
orders.
The proposed plant at Fostoria
will be located on Government
owned site of 16 acres adjacent to
the present establishment of the
National Carbon Co. Negotiations
for construction of the plant will be
completed soon.

Motion 10 Reopen
old Dominion Line
Case Is Studied
Spokesman of Patrons
Says RuiIwuy NeeIeets
Passengers Comfort
B. the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, March 4.-The
Virginia State Corporation Commis-
sion took under advisement yester-
day motion by Mrs. Nellie Fletcher
OF Washington and Leesburg that
the commission rehear the whole
case of whether the Washington g.
Old Dominion Railroad should con-
tinue its passenger service.
The railroads passenger service
has been continued on an expert
mental basis since last fall, by orders
Of the commission, with increased
rates. The combinations have been
for 60-day periods, with the last
order extending the service to
April IL.
Mrs. Fletcher went before the
commission with her husband, w. A.
Fletcher, and said she appeared for
hundreds and hundreds" of patrons
of the line. which operates through
Leesburg, Herndon and Purcellville.
She charges that the railroad ap-
parently did not want to carry pas
sengers and gave little attention to
their comfort at waiting points.
The line through Fairfax and Lou
doun Counties formerly was the
Bluemont branch of the Southern
Railway, and is now operated under
lease from that system. Mrs. Fletcher
suggested that "if these people
aren't ready to furnish passenger
service, then the fair thing to do is
to give it back to the Southern.
The Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad opposes the reopening of
the case. 1t was authorized last
July to discontinue it's passenger
service, but the commission later or
dered it continued for so days at a
time.
George Baggett, the roads general
manager, reported to the commits
sion a net loss of $48, 8,067 from the
start of operations April Is, 1886.
through December 81, 1910. Last
year, however, the net income after
deduction of taxes was S3,524.

.CurtaiIment Of Auto
Output Likely in
50 TO 90 Days
Industry Is Reported
Unable TO Obtain
Steel Supplies
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-The
American Machinst said today the
automobile industry faced forced
curtailment of production within
the next 60 or 80 days because of
inability to get necessary steel
supplies.
Tightness has developed in alloys
used in the steel demanded by the
industry, especially manganese and
chromium, and to some extent
nickel, the publication said.
Assembly lines have not faltered
due to delayed shipments, but steel
in shipment to, or stored in, Gus
toners plants is hardly sufficient
for the present rate of car output.
1t is impossible, the magazine
added, to order steel now for de-
livery earlier than July or August.

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Every year people watch birds
bidding nests. 1t is easy to observe
birds taking dry grass or bits of
string or hair to places where they
are about to set up housekeeping.
Most persons, however, have never
seen fish building nests. When fish
do that, they usually are not where
they can be watched.
Yet some fish do build nests. I
am thinking of such fish as stickle-
b3cks, freSh-Water sunfsh, catfish
atd salmon %
Nov and then a family has the
good fortune to raise sticklebacks
with success in a home aquarium.
Not only have the little fish been
kept alive; they also have built nests
and raised young in full sight Of
those in the household.
SticklebackS live in some ponds,
rivers and fakes of this continent,
also in Asia and Europe Certain
kinds are found in the ocean, and
have been able to keep up their

Names in the News
SPOT YOUR PLANE

CHANG KAI-SHEK, Chinese
eeneraliSsimo was born, 1886, in the
Province of Ningpo. His correct
name is Chang Chung g-cheng. In
1927 he married Miss Mayling Soong,
sister r-in-law of the late Sun Yat-
sen.
According to a Chinese consular
official, the name Chang Kai-shek
has more than one correct pro-
nunciation. depending on the dialect
in which it is spoken. None of the
Chinese pronunCiations can be eX-
aCtly indicated by means OF phonetic
spelling, since they contain sounds
that have no equivalent in English.
The two pronunciations that fol-
low are customary in the United
States. Each has the sanction of
good authority, and, 1 believe, equal
precedence:

race amid many kinds OF large and
hungry fish.
Ocean sticklebacks may grow to
be from to inches long. Those
which live in fresh water seldom
have length of as much as inches.
Often they are less than 2 inches
long.
StickleDacks were given their
name because of the short, sharp
bones which stand up above their
backs. Some of these little fish have
only two or three of such bones, but
other kinds have nine or IS.
Sticklebacks, strangely enough, are
danger to fish larger than them
selves. They eat eggs which they
find floating about, and also gobble
up thousands of tiny, neW-hatched
young of other fish.
The male sticklebacks build the
nests. They bite into water plants
and pull away pieces. These they
carry to spots on the bottom, where
nests are to rest.
Each male builds nest of his own.
