Meat and poultry dealers will wel- coie the close of the Lenten season, demands for such supplies always being limited during the six weeks that many buyers refrain “from the use of meat. “The Lenten season makes quite a difference In the out- put of flesh foods,” remarked a deal- er, “but is a boon to marine products and egg dealers.” Egg prices during r|\_e present Lenten season have been higher than /sual during such perlods, according to dealers, and this year they belleve thers will be no decrease in prices after the season closes.

Stock Gains Over BY STUART P. WEST.. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 21.—The past week in the financlal situation was characterized by a further break in stocks and in grain, by the acknowl- edgment of the St. Paul receivership, largest railway insolvency which has occurred In recent years; by a very uneven movement in general trade, and by a lower tendency in money rates. The decline on the Stock Exchange could not have surprised anybody who had proper respect for the teachings of the past. The speculation which g0t under way after the elections was an altogether excessive upward swing. It was getting much too far ahead of legitimate trade conditions on the outside. It was treating the election results as if these meant a sort of, business millennium. It was assuming that individual stocks were worth 10 points or so more overnight. This was the market of late December and early January, and March has been exacting the usual penalty. Entire Galns Wiped Out. What is to be said for the stock market at the low figures reached in the middle of the week? Simply that the fall of 10, 15 and 25 points, while justifying the previous criticism re- sarding overspeculation, had at the same time pretty well satisfied this criticism. In a good part of the list the entire gain since early December had been wiped out. Few deéclines of such extent in a similarly short space of time have ever been recorded. Yet, looking back over the experi- ence of the last three years, this was only another of the violent fluctua- tions which have been frequent dur- ing that period. Since the Spring of 1922 Wall Street history has been made up of a series of uprushes fol- bull markets” rapidly passing into “bear markets” and vice versa, without any com- mensurate varying of business condi- tions on the outside. Industry Is Disappointing. Cabinet officlals _at Washington have been credited with statements assuring the public that the collapse in grain and the break in stocks did not portend a season of depression. These statements would have been unnecessary had not too much atten- tion been paid to the eulogistic com- ments on the trade outlook in high quarters three months ago, and had not the public temporarily lost its head during the weeks' of specula- tive extravagance which followed. To say that the industrial situ- ation Is “sound” is to echo what is being said on every side. Unques- tionably it Is true, because there has been no excessive rise tn commodity EXPRESS BUS LINE WILL START SOON Washington and Baltimore to Have New Service—W. B. & A. May Compete. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, March 21.—Expres busses probably will be running be- tween Baltimore and Washington in the next few weeks. M. Jennings, jr. and Clarence K. Bowle, attorneys, representing in- terests which have asked the publle service commission for a permit to operate the lines, called on the com- mission yesterday and told the com- mission that the company Is ready to buy its busses, and wanted to know if the permit was to be issued. Permit Coming Soon. They were informed that under a recent Supreme Court rullng the commission would have to license them, but that the company cannot do business entirely within the State. Passengers for Washington may be picked up at Laurel or any Maryland point, but the busses cannot bring passengers from Laurel to Baltimore. Bowie says the effect of this will be to build up Washington at the ex- pense of Baltlmore, but that his com- pany cannot be held responsible for that result, as it is brought about by the Supreme Court declsion in the Bush case. The public service com mission will issue the permits im- mediately. W. B. and A. May Compete. Bowle says the new lines will be in operation within 30 days. Six busses will be operated at the start, he sald. The rate of fare to Wash- ington will be 213 cents per mile and the running time two hours, he said. Institution of a similar bus line be- tween Baltimore and Washington is also being considered by the Wash- ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Rall- road, it was declared by J. J. Doyle, vice president and general manager of the railroad. STEEL COMPANY R EXTRA By the Associated Press. MONTREAL, March 21.—The British Emplre Steel Corporation, in its annual report for 1924, made public yester- day, listed total earnings, after deduc- tion of manufacturing, selling and ad- ministration expenses, as $923,774, as compared with $4,444,346 the previous year, and announced that charges for depreciation, sinking fund, bond dis- count and preferred dividends cre- ated a deficit of $2,357,620, completely wiping out the surplus accumulated since organization. EPORTS HARD YEAR FIRST HARD MOLASSES. PHILADELPHIA, March 21 (Spe- cial).—The first cargo of hard molas- ses in baskets to arrive in the United States was brought to this port yes- terday on the Danish steamer Emma Maersk from Java. The cargo con- sisted of 7,500 tons and is consign=d to two local industrial alcohol concerns. —_—— OVER 6,000 FIND WORK. DETROIT, March 21 (Special).—In- dustrial employment the past week increased 6,258, the largest weekly gain since the first of the year. Total employment now is 220,850, which compares with 241,263 the same week a year ago.. Practically all the gain was recorded in the auto- mobile industry. RAPID MONEY TURNOVER. NEW YORK, March 31.—As an in- dication of the rapid turnover of money, the New York Trust Company has made public statistics showing that resources of banks in the Unlted States at the end of 1924, totaling $57,144,000,000, were 11.4 times the vol- ume of money in circulation, which was placed at $4,992,930,843.

On the other hand, it has to be noted that in certain lines of trade the expectations of the Autumn and early Winter are not being fulfilled. Copper Market Weak. The copper metal has dropped back to 14% cents a pound as against 15 cents a short time ago. This does not fit in with the frequent prophe- cles about thp effect of the improved European demand and the reduced surplus in this country upon the cop- per trade. Iron and steel production has been holding up fairly well, but the point here is not so much what are the activities of mills working upon com- paratively low-prictd orders. Rather the question is as to whether the steel companies are go- ing to be able to do business on a more profitable basis than they have been during the last year. Price Tendency Downward. On this subject, of such critical In- terest both for the trade situation and the stock market, the following partial citation may be made from a recent reliable analysis of condi- tions: The price tendency In steel is plain- ly downward. Open hearth billets have yielded $1 per ton. Black sheets are called weaker to the extent of $2 per ton. Shapes and plates are $2 per ton lower in several districts. The prices of 2.20 cents on the major products which were named in Jan- uary for second-quarter have proved to_be a short-lived myth. In other words, as it appears now, the efforts of the steel companies to obtaln more profitable prices for the second three months of the year have falled. Prospective 1925 Wheat Down. The fact that wheat prices represent- ing the 1924 ¢rop went up from around $1.50 a bushel to $2.05, and then lost nearly all the gain, is of no great consequence so long as 5 per cent of the old harvest was out of the farmers’ hands during these fluctuations. But it is a matter of very consideérable consequence that prices representing the prospective 1925 crop should have come down, the way they were at one time during the week, 28 to 37 cents a bushel. This, coming at a time when it was known that the Winter wheat acre- age was up 6.5 per cent over last vear, and when the prospective planting of Spring wheat would be nearly 14 per cent larger, involves the possibility of an important change in the agricultural outlook, and one which certainly does not augur well for high price: EVERYMAN’S INVESTMENTS BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS. What chance has the speculator witn small resources? Progress looks absurdly easy to one who has not tried it. As a matter of fact, this making of money without working for it is extremely difficult. Let me illustrate. By this time | everybody knows that since Novem- ber last there has been a remarkable advance in prices for stocks. It has been what Wall Street calls a “bull market.”” A young man of my ac-| quaintance, well informed, in close touch with Wall Street, with every apparent advantage for successful speculation except adequate capital, dabbled in the market for three months. His business was such that it was easy for him to keep in touch with market fluctuations practically | every hour of the day. He began his operations directly at the beginning of the rise. Like most amateurs, he restricted himself to the buying side. He never sold stock “short.” He began by buying a small order stock and when it went higher he bought more. But then there came a decline in the market and he got frightened and sold the whole lot for about what it cost him. He trled his luck with a| shoe stock, several of the oils, a coal security and a number of railroad shares. He had $400 when he began and at one time his paper profit was 100 per cent—that is to say, he could | have sold out all his holdings for $800. But he didn't. Instead, he waited until one of those so-called “reactions” came along and prices melted away, only temporarily, to be sure, but to him ominously, and he dumped the entire amount overboard, realizing thereon the same $400 he had when he stafted. Now he is out of the market. This story iIs not particularly in- teresting, except in one particular, that it {s true. In my opinion, my young friend is more fortunate than the great majority who have attempt- ed the same experiment. (Copyright, 1625.) STOCKS OFF 20 TO 70 POINTS FROM HIGH MARKS Volatile Specialties Make Sweep- ing Changes During Week’s Trading. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 21.—Stock prices collapsed this week to the lowest aver- age levels of the year under the weight of heavy selling for both accounts, which was stimulated by the St. Paul Railroad recelverghip, the severe break in wheat prices and the inability of operators on the long side to attract a public following on the recent high prices. The reduction was the most drastic that has taken place since the bull movement started on the day after election, standard industrials and ralls selling 5 to 15 points below their high quotations for the year, while recessions of 20 to 70 points were noted in some of the volatile Specialties. - DIVIDENDS.

TAMPA, Fla., March 21.—Consump- tlon of cigars, undoubtedly has de- creased throughout the United State: but despite that fact there has no been a time for 18 months when some of the Tampa cigar manufac- turers were not far behind in thelr orders. The industry has grown to tremendous proportions here, with dozens of factories and & pay roll well above $300,000 a week. More clear Havana cigars are made every day in Tampa, according to A. L. Cuesta, jr., active head of Cuesta, Rey & Co, than are shipped out of Havana itself to all the world. So far as the tobacco, the Spanish hand method of manufacture, the work- men and climate which have given Havana cigars their reputation s concerned, Tampa fs Havana moved to the other side of the street. The only difference between the Havana product and that manufac- tured in bonded factories here is that dutles are paild on the tobacco in- stead of the finished cigars. It seems strange to mention climate In con- nection with the manufacture of ci- Bars, yet that factor has much to do With their perfection. Many Brands Put Out. The {ndustry here is not confined by any means to clear Havana, Spanish handmade types of cigars. Many shade-grown cigars are pro- duced. These cousist of Havana fillers wrapped with Connecticut wrappers, or “resagos,” the Havana wrappers unsuitable for the more expensive grade. Still less expensive cigars are made from the Havana scrap of the large factories. These are usually in- tended to retail at 5 cents. Some of the makers of expensive brands utilize their scrap tobacco in this way but can only sell direct to the retafler, since there fs no margin in them for a jobber. The factories, which spe- clalize in the 5-cent grade on a quan- tity production basis distribute through the regular wholesale chan- nels. Factorles Improved. Some factories Lere are being equin- ped for machine production. This move has been vigorously opposed by some of the old makers, but the clearer sighted see in the-introduc- tion of machines a release of hand workmen, which will enable them to obviate many labor troubles which have agitated the industry fin the past. The manufacture of cigar boxes in itself is a huge industry here, Cedar Is practically the only wood used. This formerly came from Cuba, but the larger part of it now is imported from Mexico. BUTTER MARKET WEAK. Closing Prices, However, Small Advances. CHICAGO, March 21.—Lack of con- fidence and quiet trading caused a weak and unsettled condition in the butter market during the week, with dealers making concessions to inter- est buyers. Advgnces in the middle of the week were followed by d clines, but closing prices in all mar- kets were higher than at the begin- ning of the week. In spite of lighter receipts, floor stocks of dealers accumulated. With- drawals from storage were about a million pounds lighter than for the previous week, but about 2,000,000 pounds heavier than for the corre- sponding week last yvear. Arrival of 238,000 pounds of Canadian at New York and 78,000 pounds at Chicago were considered partly responsible for the easier t of the markets. Closing wholesale prices, 82-score butter, and range at the principal markets follow: Chicago, 1 higher, at 481 ; New York, % higher, at 48% Boston, 13 higher, at 4814, and Phila- delphia, % higher, at 49%;. AMERICAN ICE CO. HAS SLIGHT EARNINGS DROP By the Associated Prees. NEW YORK, March 21.—The an- nual report of the ‘American Ice Co. for the fiscal vear énded Decem- ber 31, 1924, which formerly ended October 1, puts net income for the 14 months at $1,751,738 after depreci- ation. interest and Federal taxes This was equal after preferred divi- dends to $11.36 a share on the com- mon stock, against $1,838,267 in the previous 12 months, or 312.51 a share on the common. Sales for 14 months were $17,325,303, against $16,121,366 for the preceding 12 months. Show Programs. Time was when the only ones who thought of the difference in time in the varlous parts of the United States were travelers, who in their journeys from place to place found it neces- sary to set their watches back or forth, depending on whether they were traveling west or east, respec- tively. With the coming of daylight-saving time, With one-half of the world go- ing about their tasks in accordance with the time shown by the sun and the other half by the time shown by the clocks set by man, the sclence of mental arithmetic became as popular as the cross-word puzzle, only more s0. The. process of adding or subtract- ing 1 from any given number is a simple enough matter, but the matter of remembering whether one should subtract or add is still another mat- ter; and so we found many of our most distinguished citizens, account- ants among them, puzzling about the momentous question: “To add or to subtract,” that is the question. This list of puzzled beings has since been augmented by the radio fan, who wants to know at what time—his time—a certain station in another time belt will be transmitting, or to find out at what time—their time— some particular station was transmit- ting a program he heard at a certain time—his time—or something to that effect. If the diagram shown in this ar- ticle is used, the transition, or chang- ing of one time to another, can be made very easily. The diagram shows a clock fac with four concentric circles, repre senting the clock figures of the four time belts in the United States. The inner clrcle represents Pacific time, the next outer circle represen mountain time, the next outer one central time, and the last outer circle | represents Eastern time. All that is necessary what time it is in the other three time belts of the United States is to look at the corresponding clock po- to find out | east of the Mississippi.

How to Change Time on Broadeast)sition on the other three circles of RADIO LIGHTENED EXPLORERS' TASK Brought Music, News and Ball Scores to Party in Wilds of Western Canada. How radio has revolutionized ex- ploration was demonstrated last eve- ning by Lewis R. Freeman, who told members of the National Geographic Soclety at the Masonic Temple that while In the heart of one of the least frequented portions of the Canadlan Rockies last Summer he and his com- panions kept up with the news of the day, listened to jazz music, heard heated 'American campalgn speeches and followed play by play the excit- ing games of the world series. The radio outfiit was carried by pack horse most of the time, but on one occasion the faithful dog of the party dragged it across a snowfield on a sled. Mr. Freeman showed motion pic- tures of his ‘party fording lce rivers and lakes, climbing peaks and cross- ing glaclers. The pictures included remarkable scenic effects. After working their way over the conti- nental divide to the foot of huge Mount Columbia the expedition re- mained eight days before the clouds lifted sufficiently for photographs to be taken of that little known peak. The cloud barriers closed in again after 30 minutes, but in the brief interval the party was able to take | dozens of views. The trip was made into the region of the great Columbia ice field, which feeds streams flowing into~ three oceans. This is believed to be the ¥ place in the world from which water flows into so many of the major seas. The expedition was caught by the early Canadian Winter. Heavy snows covered the trails which they had traversed, and for 10 days their horses were practically with- out faod. After breaking through | to grass {t was necessary to camp| for some days until the weakened | animals recovered. The base for the expedition was Banff.

If it is 11 o'clock where you are (central) you will find that it is 9 o’clock Pacific time.

Tentative arrangements have been made, it was learned today, to broad- cast the Associated Press speech through the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., which will distribute it through its transcontlnental, wire system to many of the leading co- transmitters of the West and South. No plans for broadcasting the Boston address have been made, but it {s un- derstood that several stations are angling for the privilege. Unlike the President, Gen. Dawes has spoken but seldom to an unseen audience and then only to compara- tively limited ones. A few of his cam- paign speeches in the Middle West were microphoned by local stations and his speech of acceptance of the Vice presidential nomination was picked up by two Chicago broadeast- ers. Gen. Dawes, however, has never been given one of the extensive hook- { | Boernstein's SATURDAY NIGHTER PROGRAM AT WRC Second of Series to Be Given. Waring’s Penusylvanians to Play.

A system of staggered hours for the dance programs of New York broadcasters has been suggested as the solution of the present conflict in the jazz prog Under the plan each station would take its turn during the evening at broadcasting dance music, thereby keeping a con tinual flow of tunes for any listeners desiring to hold radio dances. RS When Pie Tin Comes in Handy. One of the simplest wavs to provide an antenna for a receiving set is tc put a ple tin under the usual desk type of telephone and run a twirc from the tin to the aerial binding post on the set. The ground is con nected up in the usual way—to a water pipe, radlator, ete. Putting the pie tin under the telephone does not in any way interfere with the operation of the telephone, and nc objection should be made by the phone company. A regular outside aerial, of course, is to be preferred. but there are times when a temporar: aerial is desired. ups accorded to other of our national figures. = Now that the listeners know that the understudy of the Chief Executive has not discarded his “hellandmaria manner, it is believed quite likely ths one of the largest listening-in au diences ever assembled will be wait ing around the Joud-speakers and headphones when Gen. Dawes takes the air for the first time as Vic President. Geh. Dawes has indicated that in his talk to the Assoclated Press he will resume his fight for a revision of the Senate rules so as tc prevent a one-man filibuster. The Vice President has no qualms about speaking into the microphone According to those who were with him on his previous broadcasting ap pearances the general took no notice of the metallic eavesdroppers in front of him and shoied no signs of nervou ness in speaking to his far-flung au- dience.
