STOCKS DECLINE UPON
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The Message Considered Constructively
Sound Bat It Had Been Discounted.
New York, March 4. —Publication of
President Coolidge’s inaugural message,
which had[ been “discounted” by the re
cent advance in the stock market, which
carried the industrial and railroad av
erages to the highest levels in history,
was followed late today by a sharp re
action in prices, which carried scores of
popular issue? two to fourteen points be
low last night's closing levels.
The which apparently was
precipitated by speculator^,,for the.de
clihe, who threw thousands of shares'lnto
, ia Jhe final 4m.ut.pf tiding
was generally described in Wart Street
brokerage circles as the traditional •‘sell
ing on good news." t It was based on
the speculative fheory that a technical
setback was due after the recent pro
longed advances in many issues.
Commission house comment on the in
agurai message wa's characterized “con
structive.” No adverse criticism was
contained in the evening market letters
of the brokerage houses.
Shortly after 2 o’clock some of the
leading wire houses, which branch offices
in many of the larger cities of the coun
try, are reported to have sent out “flash
es" recommending the sale of practically
ail stocks “at the market.” This brough
about a tremendous volue of selling by
small traders, who were eager to convert
their paper profits into cash. Floor
traders, who are always eager to buy or
sell stocks for a “turn” swelled the vol
ume of offerings.

Favorable Report.
Raleigh, March 4. —Senator Heath, of
Union, won a favorable report on his
proposal to increase the pensions of Con
federate -soldiers when ,the bill, bearing
his name, and others, came, from the
pensions committee of the senate this
afternoon.
The bill would-add a tax qf $2 on ev
ery automobile and truck license and is
figured to raise more than $500,000. It I
is understood that the house commit
! tee on pensions lias also looked with
1 favor on the bill, introduced simultan
eously in the house. However, mem
bers believe that the objections td the
' bill will be too strong to allow its pas
sage.

causes unfriendly comment if he moves

YVITS ARE KEENEST AT AGE
OF 10. SAYS BRITISH SAGE
Prtof. Thomson Finds Brain is At Its
Beat Then For Tackling Problems.
London, March 5.—-Human intelli
gence appeals to reach the maximum
at tho age of sixteen years, according
,to deductions set forth in a book by
Godfrey H. Thomsen, professor at
Armstrong Col'cge. Xewcastle-on-Tyne.
These deductions, it is .explained,
were made after careful research of a
mass of statistics on the subject, anil
indicate that a person may add to his
book learning and his knowledge of the
world as the years go along, but that he
will never have a sharper brain with
which to tackle problems than when
somewhere about the age of sixteen.
Prof. Thompson .asserts: “Os the ma
jority of cases it can be said that an
intelligent man was intelligent as a
child. If he did not show it in school it
was the fault of his teachers. It simply
meant that no lesson was no presenter!
to him Hint he would take an interest
in it.”

Had Been Confirmed as Attorney Gen
eral.
(By tbe Associated Press)
Washington, March 5.—-When the in
auguration flurry had. died doyen IpiUjs.ifr,
was noted that a number of senators sat
back to complacently read the Congres
sional Record and then arose in great
haste and dashed to the telephone.
The cause of their agitation was found
to be au erroneous paragraph in the Con
gressional, Record which declared Chas.
B. Warrant. of Michigan, over whose
nomination as attorney general a hot
fight had been waged, had been con
firmed.
Some senators still somewhat touchy
over their experience yesterday with Vice
President Dawes thought maybe in 'the
last minute confusion something had been
put over on them. They were told the
usually accurate record had made a mis
take which would be corrected in a lat
ter issue.

INCREASED COLLECTION OF
FEDERAL Tffi.ES AT RALEIGH
Dne to the Increased Business of the
Tobacco Companies.
Raleigh, March ®-“r)espite the fact
that the federal incMHe ta* rate has been
cut from four per Ant. to and one
half per cent., the’jfrosK revenue collect
ed in North Caroliajt during the month
of February. 1025,‘Jhows an increase of
approximately tweivf' per cent, over Feb

the revenue said Mr. Gris
som. “In other wards, what we have
lost on the peanuts »e have made up on
the ‘pernanners’.” J
When questioned ;as to why the in
crease in the revenues collected Mr.
Grissom explained that the loss in reve
nue incurred by tbe reduction of the tax
rate had been mor* than met by the
increased business of the tobacco manu
facturing concerns. 1 “There is ho ques

panies are doing a much larger business
than- they did during the corresponding
period of one yegr ggo," he said.

total revenue, in round numbers, of $104,-
5000.000, as compared with $102,500,000
collected during the first pgilit months of
the preceding fiscal year. That means
just one thing—that we are approxi

figures speik for themselves.”

Earthquakes Not Likely to Visit the
East Again-
Washington. March 4. The eastern
parts of the United States and Canada
are in no immediate danger of a second
and more severe earthquake than the
one felt in many cdties on the night of
February 28, is the |bpinion of Father
Francis A. Tondorf. seismologist of
Georgetown university. -In fact they
are likely to go another century before
a similar scare recurs.
tVhen an earth movement of major
' importance occurs in a region that is
geologically old and well settled. Father
Tondorf explained, it acts as a read
justment and relief of strain, and the
accumulation of new stresses to a point
; where another shock is probable is a
very slow process. The qunke of Feb
ruary 28 was such a mapor readjust
, ment; seismographic records indicate
| that its amplitude was greater than
, the earthquake that caused the great
Sat) Frgneisco fire of 1906.

for October during the first few mifiutes
as a result of this pressure, and there
was some southern as well us local sell
ing on runi6rs of a less urgent spot de
mand. Offerings were well enough taken
by covering or trade buying to steady the
market at net declines of 8 to 10 points,

Dogs With Glass Eyes.
London, March s.—Recent examples
of the surgeon’s skill on injured animals
rival in delicacy many of the operations
! performed on human beings. Dogs have
been fitted with sets of false teeth which
remain .In position despite the severe
strain put upon them by canine appei
. tites. Amputation of animals’ limbs is
■ often necessary as a result of serious ac
cidents, and it is possible to substitute
artificial legs made of silver and vulcan
ite oevered with leather. Usually the
little cripples oecominodate themselves
. quickly to the use of their new limbs.
A marvel of the veterinary surgeon's
, art is found in a London society woman’s
j small Japanese spaniel which is still
alive. It lost an eye in an unfortunate
encounter, but was cleverly fitted with a
false glass eye. which cannot now be dis
j tinguished from the sound one.
