STOCKS UNMED * BT TOWN FOSS Advance in Sterling Reflects British Indifference to Occupation of Germany. SPECIALTIES ARE STRONG Threats of Drastic Rail Legislation Holds Back Trading in Leading issues. By WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Jan. 10. —News that the French and Belgian forces were entering the Ruhr was received with equanimity by the stock market today. Sterling’s advance of a half cent in the early dealings recorded British indifference to proceedings on the continent. So there was no occasion for alarm in America markets and stocks devoted their attention to their own internal position and technical status of the whole market. Some selling in the first fifteen min•es represented continuance or region in the progress at the previous close but the main body of stocks was steady at around Tuesday’s final prices. Strength was shown by a few specialties of the type of May Department Stores, which reached anew high at 70*6. First hour developments on the exchange were uninteresting. Professional operators offered Asphalt down to anew low at 43 s *, off 3 points from Tuesday’s high, banking on uncertainty regarding the preferred dividend to bring out stock for covering purposes. But inside houses in Philadelphia issued assurances that payment woujd be authorized and selling was checked before 11 a. m. Many conservative commission houses continue to advise purchases of rails, but it is hard to get a following. due largely to threat of drastic railroad legislation at IV ashington. There are many bankers who hold to the opinion that by the time new Congressmen are seated there will bo mere talk of constructive than destructive railroad legislation.

Reports from Minneapolis indicated \*iy heavy stocks, and farmers were reported to have grain stored in every available space.

m IF FUEL ■ CLOSES SCHOOLS Situation in Philadelphia Regarded as Serious. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Jan. 10.— Two elementary schools did not reopen after the Christmas holidays because of lack of fuel. “The situation is worse than at any previous period,” said Frederick B. Semple, in charge of coal supplies. “Unless we get fuel w'ithin two days, fifty or more schools will be forced to close, and every school in the city will be shut dow’n in a month if more coal isn’t brought into town.” The two schools which failed to open are the Taylor No. 2, Erie Ave. and Randolph St., and the T. J. Powers, Frankfort Ave. and Somerset St. Mr. Sernpie forwarded to the coal concerns a list of eighteen schools which are nearing the end ot their supplies, and as many more schools reported later in the day that their fuel wars aijout used up.

IMPOSED South Carolina Starts War on Disease of Rabies. COLUMBIA, S. C„ Jan. 10.—Compulsory inoculation once a year of all dogs in South Carolina, as a step toward eradication of rabies, was approved by the State board of health here. Announcement was made that a bill covering this requirement would bo prepared for introduction at the r< xt meeting of the General Assembly. Decision of the board was taken following a report by H. H. Smith, director of the State laboratory. “The rabies situation In South Carolina never improves,” said Smith. “It is growing worse. The number of rabies animals and the number ot human beings bitten are increasing every year.” Smith said killing of dogs known to be suffering from the malady, and the muzzling and quarantining of other dogs were preventive measures that have failed to check the spread of the disease.

HYMEN RULED I M TOTEACHINE New Jersey Teacher Reinstated After Dismissal. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 10.—Marriage is not an act unbecoming a woman teacher and does not justify her dismissal, State Commissioner of Education John Enright has ruled. He ordeied the reinstatement of Mrs. Clara Planer Nommensen as a teacher in the Hoboken schools. She will be paid back salary from Feb. 1, 1921. Mrs. Nommensen married in June, 1920, and went abroad. She requested leave of absence until Dec. 31 of that year, or Jan. 31, 1921. When she returned in December, 1920, she was Informed that her marriage had automatically terminated her employment by the Hoboken school board. “The teachers’ tenure law very definitely prohibits the dismissal of any teacher under tenure except for Inefficiency, conduct unbecoming a teacher or other just causes," said Commissioner Enright.
