First Hour Stocks continued to gather strength through the first hour and by XI a m. a spirit of buoyancy characterized 'he list in decided contrast to the action eariier in the week when profit-taking was in progress. It if, estimated that the short interest built up on the week’s reaction reached ex tensive proportions. This is true of Can, Studebaker, and Tobacco Pro ducts. One house is said to be loan ing over 3 0,000 shares of the latter stock. These three issues have been the target of the bears during the past week and were selected by the bears in their efforts to depress prices. Closing Hour Additional impetus was imparted to the upward movement in the general list in the final transactions and clos ing prices were at the day's best levels. Great Northern preferred w*3 featured in the railroad list, reaching anew high on the current recovery at 58%• American Can was the out standing feature of the industrial leaders, selling at 106% against Friday's low of 103%.

MOVEMENTS ON CURB PROVE MEANINGLESS Stutz Stands Out as Leader of List With Gain. Bu United Financial NEW YORK. Jan. s.—Aside from strength in a few industrial issues, the movement of prices In the curb market today was practically meaningless. The oils backed and filled in about the same manner as noted in the previous session. Stutz Motois stood out as the market leader by advancing to a high on the movement at 15, up 3% points from the previous close, the demont rati on here undoubtedly was influenced in part by the opening of the motor show. A few others of the motors were carried along on the bulge, Including Reo, up Li, and Willys first preferred. Durant was up % at 35%. Kresge Department Stores gained 1% points. Prairie Oil and Gas acted erratically, getting to a low of 264, after opening up 6)4 at 269, and then recovering to 265%. There was liquidation in Ohio Oil and the price sagged to 77)4, off 1%. Standard of Nebraska, after opening up 3 at 213. sold off to 205. The independent oils once more pursued their own course and a few scored fractional advances, while the others remained steady.

Wash .Du "g"j EM EMBER when Main St. was I the only paved street in town? 1 Now even country roads are paved. The automobile did that to American ways. Millions of dollars a year is spent for paving material'* and the demand for labor is so great that it is an active competitor with the building trades. Many of the materials used in building also are used in paving, which helps explain their recent rise in price. In the making of paving materials, according to data gathered by the United States Governmeent 37 cents 1 out of each dollar which the maker receives goes to labor while he ;nust pay 35 cents for his own raw ma terfals. Twenty-eight cents is left for profit, overhead and taxes. Thus, a 10 per cent increase in wages would have almost the Same effect on the selling p ice as a 10 per cent increase in materials.

HOSPITAL FULL; i INSANE STAY IN CROWDED LOCK-UP Patients Can Not Get Treatment Until State Institution Makes Released Overcrowded condition at the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane has causeif insane persons to be held in jail here after they are declared insafe, County Clerk Albert H. Losche today told City Judge Delbert O. Wilmetli. Judge. Wilmeth had asked why persons held on vagrancy charges from his court as insane were not released or sent to the Central Hospital or Julietta, county insane hospital. “Dr. Edenharter (late superintendent) tola me just before he died that the capacity of the Central, is 1,300 patients,” said Losche. “He added that more than 1,000 were confined there. Julietta is full and all I.can do after a justice of peace declares a perse n insane is to make out his fcommittment papers and wait until the hospital notifies me it can handle another patient. The justices certainly are doing a rushing business. “Our county jail Is built for 150 people, and today they had 337 in there,” he said. “They are sleeping on the floors. It is ail clean, but terribly overcrowded. All I can see is that local judges, instead of sentencing people to thirty days in Jail, will have to give them thirty-one days, so they can be taken to the State farm.”
