CURB ISSUES GAIN | INACTIVE MARKET Filene Common and Noranda Mines Show Upward Tendency. BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 26.—Trading on the Curb Exchange, following the two-day suspension of activity, was resumed with a pronounced upward | movement in the issues selected for leadership. Filene common was one of the sensa- tional performers, opening 13 points higher at 95 and later going to its highest since the issue was offcered for public subscription. At 105 it was up 23 points on the day. The subscription prics was $38. Noranda Mines was another outstand- ingly strong favorite, opening on a block of 12,000 shares at 69, a new high, 7 points above Friday's final. Prairie Pipe Line featured the oil group. At 259 the price was up 12 points and at a new peak. It carried with it Prairie Oil and Gas, which also went to its best. Humble was another leader, advancing more than 4 points. Stocks of companies affilinted with the rapidly expanding aeroplane in- dusiry continued in demand under leadership of Niles-Bement-Pond. Around 160 the price was up 14 points. Canadian Marconi opened on a block of 34,000 shares at 16. The pre- vious final was 13%. Current demand for all Marconi issues reflected the recent action of the British government in assigning wireless and telegraph companies to private ownership under government supervision.

Corn aleo displayed relative strength, opening !z off to a If!'.u'z up, and later holding near to the initial range. Oats were easy. Pro- visions tended upward. In connection today with unexpected price advances at Liverpool and talk of importers there contracting ahead for wheat, advices at hand told of bull- ish crop estimates from Australia and of further sales of Australian wheat to India.

VIRGINIA FARMERS SEEK BETTER PRICES Co-operation Among Potato Grow- ers Urged as Aid in Marketing. By the Associated Press, RICHMOND, Va., November 26.— Co-operation among farmers on the Eastern Shore of Virginia as a means of solving the problem of low prices for potatoes is strongly recommended in a preliminary report made by the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics in co-operation with the Vir- ginia Agricultural Experiment Station and the University of Maryland. Work is now being done by potato growers of Virginia, Maryland, Norta Carolina and South Carolina toward or- ganizing the farmers and bringing about better prices. An intrastate steering committee is being formed, together with four subcommittees in each State. The subcommittees will study market information and acreage stabilization, speculative credit stabilization, sub- stitute crops and enterprises, and wider market co-ordination and better mar- ket practices. g In the report of conditions on_the Eastern Shore, T. B. Manny of the Fed- eral Bureau of Agricultural Economics says, “Better returns to the farmers might be obtained if substantially all of the early and second early crop moving to the principal consuming markets of the United States could be included under one marketing arrangement. It is almest, equally true, however, accord- ing to the opinions of these farmer leaders, that any one section that pro- duces as heavily as Eastern Shore might secure most of the advantages of or- ganized marketing and yet be able to face competition from other sections. At least it ought to stop some of the harmful resuts of competition betweea selling agencies within the section. “However large or small the section that the farmers, practically 100 per cent of them, throughout the region included in any plan of organized mar- erating and controlling the system. The key to the situation is in the hands of farmers themselves. RADIO POPULARIZES . ANTHEM SINGING Handel, Native of Germany, Is Regarded as Foremost Musical Writer. ‘With the broadcasting of a great number of sacred hymns, anthem musio ‘become more popular than ever be- fore. The anthem originally conveyed the idea of responsive singing, choir answering choir or choir to priest, but this application of the word, for a very long time considered as a necessary from the modern Anglicized interpre- tation. After undergoing several changes in its Anglo-Saxon and early English forms, traceable in Chaucer and subse- quently used by Shakespeare, Milton and others, the word has at length ac- quired a meaning equally distinctive and widely accepted. Eince the an- them now signifies a musical composi- tion sung as an_integral part of the public worship, when represented by its finest examples, it may be regarded @s the culminative point of the daily ritual music of the modern church. Musicians of note the world over developed form it is characteristically an English composition and is perhaps the highest and most individual point which has been attained by English ‘composers. Although the recognition of the an- them as a stated part of the divine service dates from early in Elizabeth's reign (1585-1603) when, in accordance with the Queen’s injunction, jon for the use of such songs in churches was granted, it was not until the mid- dle of the eighteenth century that its popularity became nation wide. Foremost among all writers of this type of music is Handel, who produced the 12 anthems so widely known the was born in Halle, Germany. At the age of 31 he left his native land to adopt Fngland as his home and only as a visitor did he see his fatherland again. In 1717, he accented a position as musical director for Duke James of Chandos at Cannons near London. and while in the duke’s service Handel wrote practically all of his anthems. ‘These . compesitions were not on the plan of the original rule of the anthem, for all the resources known to the musical art of that time were em- ployed. including chorus and solo sing- ing with rich instrumental accompani- ment, the text being taken from the Bible. This tvpe of music was not then known in either Italy or Ger- many, but was peculiar to England. Crude Oil Production.

Highland Park plant to the body com- pany which makes most of the bodies for its new models. This is an alliance, not an_absorption of the body com- pany. It simply means that the com- pany building bodies for this company was forced to have more space to keep up with demand. The remainder of the Highland Park plant will be devoted to production of replacement parts for old models until the last of the latter are piled on the scrap heap. It must not be overlooked, however, that this concern apparently does not intend to change its models for years to come. Its competitors will change at any time it seems advisable. The Willys organization is not asleep. Dealers are clearing out every old model in anticipation of the arrival of new models. General Motors, having abandoned the four-cylinder fleld, is obviously in- tending to carry the addition of cylin- ders into its other subsidiary companies. Sixes will become straight eights. Eights may develop into twelves. Com- petitors are going to crowd in with front-wheel drives, as one producer has already anhounced. Other firms will adopt front-wheel drive to provide greater speed and increased brake effi- ciency. Hudson, Essex, Chrysler and others will present innovations in some form or other, as will Nash and a half dozen other manufacturers. The accessory manufacturers are preparing for a great season. . COTTON IS STEADY IN INITIAL DEALS | Favorable Reports From Textile Trade Cause Rise in Prices. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 26.—Th Cotton Market opened steady at an advance of 14 to 22 points on trade and commission house buying promoted by relatively steady Liverpool cables and continued favorable reports from the textile trade. January sold up to 20.61 and May to 20.50 on this opening advance which, of course, established new high ground for the movement. . Considerable realizing was encoun- tered at these figures and some Southern selling, but it was absorbed by more or less general buying on reactions of § or 6 points from the best and the market was very steady at the end of the first half hour. Private cables re- ported London and continental buying in Liverpool and said there was a fair cloth inquiry from India and South Ameriea. FEW EARLY STATUES OF BUDDHA FOUND | Artists Deliberately ~ Refrained From Depicting Leader of Religious Group. Since statues of Buddha are so com- monly seen nowadays, it perhaps is not generally known, according to the National Museum, that in the early period of Buddhism no image of this leader appeared. It seems that Buddhist artists deliberately abstained from attempting to model or depict the human form of the divine founder of their religion. His presence was in- dicated by certain signs of his activity, or symbols which referred to the main events or crises of his life. | It was about the beginning of the | Christian era—four or five centuries after Buddha's death—that his effigy was brought into common use and soon became the leading feature of Buddhist decoration. Buddhism arose at the end of the sixth or beginning.of the fifth century B. C. as a schism or reformation of Brahamanism in India. Its founder was Gautama, son of Suddhodanna of the family Gautama, who lived in the ‘Ganges Valiey. Gautama is the family name while Buddha is not a pflzfl or sonal name, but merely a title. Later tradition has woven around the person and career of Buddha a mass of myths and legends. Tor 45 years he went about from place to place in the valley of the Ganges, proclaiming his good tidings and gathering around him a small band of faithful followers. The substance of the teachings of Buddha hes been briefly summarized as follows: 1, existence is inseparable from sor- row; 2, the causes of sorrow are pas- sions and desires; 3, the cessation of sorrow through the extinction of the passion; 4, the way to cessation by fol- lowing the eight-fold path. Buddhism was originally restricted to an order of monks and nuns who lived in monasteries and were vowed to celi- bacy. poverty and obedience. The fol- lowing 10 commandments were given to members of the order: 1, Not to kill or even injure any sentiment being: 2, net to steal; 3, not to commit adultery; 4, not to lie or use any manner of im- proper speech: 5, not to use intexicat- ing drinks; 6, not to take repasts at im- proper times, that is after midday: 7, not to attend dances, plays and public spectacles; 8, not to weer costly rai- ment and garlands or use perfumes; 9, not to use high seats and beds; 10, not to receive goid or silver. Long before Buddha's death, however, it became impracticable for all ais ad- herents to retire from the world and join the order. On these lay-belisvers ouly the first five of the 10 injunctions are obligatory. Among the virtues rec- ommended to the masses are reverence to parents and teachers, care for wife and children, submission to authority, control over self, patience, forbearance, humility and contentment, alms-ziving and respect for the life of all living things. Buddhism is divided inte two great schools, which are themselves sub- divided into many sects and subsects. Service Men Hold Parade. Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November crease of 6z per cent in trainmen and conductors of e o railroads, invelving an annu the carriers affected of about $6,500,000, came in a week when there had been & great deal of public discussion of the nnull:vmblz pod:h‘:; of u;hr; rnuro::: wi 1o r raf lor service. It m d that; there might be an offset to wage Increase from higher rates in the territory where it applies. Prom present ins tions the outlook for this is not especially favor- able. Se raflroad _ executives, d of the Baltimore & Ohio and. President Hanauer of the Boston & 1Maine, have pointed out how the net operating in- come or all of the roads of the country has been whittled down since period of Government control by ins s Tate reflucflmsm‘ and wage 1ncnmam without any satisfactory compensation. ’;’here is a rather hopeless attitude on the part of railroad managers con- cerning the possibility of rate dncreases. 26~The in- ‘wages of . m‘ Sidty- Not much uuumm been re- ceived from the ite Commerce Commission. The hope of the rail- roads Mes in a favorable decision by the commission in the O'Fallon case, which is to be reviewed by the Supreme Court early in January. If this is clear cut, it should establish permanently the question of railroad valuation and create a basis on which better rates might be allowed. Legal precedents for such a decision may be found in various opinions by the Supreme Court and other high oourts Wl questions of the valu- ation and the rate of return on capital have been rendered in favor of public utilities. Whether the Supreme Court will look at the railroad situation in the same light as it has in the arguments covering Consolidated Gas of New York, the Indianapolis Water Co. and the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. re- n. of 1929 will not only bring out this decision, but it will also be within this period that the Inter- state Commerce Commission will decide on the merits of the Great Northern- Northern Pacific merger and the final phase of the Chesapeake & Ohio con- trol of allied es.
