Bit Vnited Press NEW YORK, March I.—Expansion of approximately 43,500,000 on brokers’ loans apparently indicating increased public participation in the market failed to check bullish enthusiasm and prices in the initial trading were generally high. Steel -issues were much in evidence with United States Steel up a jtoint at 160% and Bethlehem up % at 51%. Strength shown by the latter stock in the past few days is believed based on dividend possibilities. Bate forenoon found " the stock market list backing and filling with the volume of trading somewhat reduced. The market 'was almost but American Ice crossed ™134 for a gain of more than five points. .New buying in Colorado Fuel and Iron sent the stock to 62. Earnings of this company are running at a high rate, due to large rail shipments, and gossip of the probability of oil discovery on its properties is also being circulated again. In some quarters a $4 dividend rate is expected, but interests said to be well informed regard any payment in the near future as unlikely.

In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) MEW YORK. March I.—Frequent and narrow price fluctuations are now the rule in the futures market. The trade is virtually unchanged from day to day. The most advisable thing to do, in my opinion, is to wait for such recessions as occurred yesterad and buy futures. The position of the industry is favorable and the market is drawing nearer the time when heavier consumption and reduced supplies will carry prices forward again. Man Prefers Death to Being a Father Bn United Press . NYACK, N. Y., March I.—Xgliast at the responsibilities of becoming a father, Police Lieutenant Leroy Waters, South Nyack, left a note ta his wife and then shot himself through the brain. The note, scribbclled in three sections like a string of afterthoughts, read: “I guess I'm better off dead as I do nothing but get into debt. Goodby, Roy. “Am not a fit father for a baby. I do-love you after all, but it is better for me to go. Love and good luck". Roy. “Turn the car back and get my check every two weeks.” ' Waters died Sunday, four hours after the shooting. Waters, 25, and his wife. 27. had leen married six years. The exectech baby is their first. Sleep is largely a matter of climate according to anew theory. In cold regions men need much fatty food and not so much sleep. In the tropics, however, much -sleep and little j fat is the best rule.

(READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)
The bowl-shaped smoke rocked to and fro. The Tinies wondered t here ’twould go. The only tning that they could see was lots of clouds and sky. Most everyone was hungry now, and wished they'd find a way, somehow, to get a tasteful bite to eat. The thought just made them sigh. Said Seouty, "What’s that over there? It’s Jike a black cloud in the air.” And all the others looked to see what Seouty had in view. The object headed right their way and then they all heard Coppy say, "I’ll bet it’s just a flock of ducks, or maybe geese, don't you?” Then, as it came real close to sight, they found that Coppy cure was right. ’Twas quite a flock of white, wild geese. To watch them fly was grand They all kept quacking as they flew ’cause that's what all the wild geese do. Said Seouty, “What they’re doing here I can not understand.” The geese now seemed to forge
settlements. The outlook continues favorable for. easy credit conditions. However, at the close of the market, it was announced that brokerage loans had gained $43,620,000, the largest expansion for any week so far this year. This indicates a wider public participation In the market, and may prove a vulnerable point for the bears in today’s Bession. Income Lower Throughout the day, nevertheless, bullish news predominated. Even railroad reports, which showed a falling "off in net income, were construed as bullish, because for the most part they represented an advance in gross. Several railroad shares reached new highs for the year or for a longer period, best gains being made in this group by Canadian Pacific, closing with a gain of 5 . points; St; Louis, San Francisco, up 3%; Wabash preferred and Rock Island. U was predicted that Frisco directors, meeting Wednesday, would increase the rate of that road's stock from s7\to SB. While most the issues on the market were up from one to three points, considerably larger gains were scored by individual shares. Harvester stocks were in demand through the session with Case Threshing Machine driving to anew high level for the year, and closing with a gain of five points, and International Harvester making anew peak, up 3% for the day. Mack Truck, Worthington Pump, General Asphalt, American Waterworks, Baldwin Locomotive, Atlantic refining and Du Pont were twq to seven points higher. Record Level Texas and Pacific Land Trust again appeared on the tape, ten shares bringing $2,100 each for a gain of SIOO over the last previous sale, and setting anew record level for any stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Polish 8s and Italian issues were the outstanding features in the bond market, these securities appreeating in demand generated by news of the individual oountries making successful overtures for loans here. Domestic bonds were rather quiet, with little change. On the curb market industrials continued buoyatit, while in the commodity group cotton prices touched new highs for the movement and grains sold down fractionally. The principal item in foreign exchange was a further increase in the discount for Canadian currency, which should result In shipment of more gold to this country.

ahead, and Clowny yelled, “I’d surely dread to have them try to flgl/t with us. They’d pick our hands and face.” The Tinies watched until 'tw.is late, and G’oj>py said, “Gee, that was great to see the way those big birds fly and sail along through space.” And then the smoke cloud seemed to stop, and every Tiny felt it drop. They leaned out o’er the sides to see whatever was below. Said Seouty to the rest, at last. “We’re heading for the ground real fast, but where we’re going to finally land is what I'd like to know. “Oh. look,” Wee Coppy yelled aloud, which quite attracted all the crowd. “The earth Is just below us and it surely looks real grand.” They all gazed dmvi and thrilled with cheer. A “Mother Goose Land” sign showed clear. 'Twas worked in little pebbles very plainly on the sand. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.) (The Tinymites meet Jack and Jill in the next story.)
