" holds AmtHnon (By Tie Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 8 Sentiment in the stock market this week favored the long account, partly because of four stock dividends which ranged from 10 to 200 per cent. There was a visible dim inution of activity however, due to pub lic apathy. v The credit situation continued to en gross 'the attention of the financial com munity, interest in that quarter being heightened by the detailed statement of the local federal reserve boardV: review ing conditions of the first four months of , the year. . This suggested that further restrictions are needed to adjust anoma lous economic conditions. Transportation shares improved, not only because of the less ' tense railroad labor situation, but probably to a great er degree from the general belief that the railroads are. almost certain to receive substantial relief in the form of higher freight rates." ' - General industrial conditions were somewhat obscured by the strike of the New England textile workers and signs that price schedules for steel and kin dred finished products for autumn de livery are tending downward. Reports from leading centres of merchandise dis tribution pointed to reduced demand, ac companied by lower quotations for vari ous staples, but' foodstuffs ruled at or near masimum levels. MR.

DON'T KNOCK OFF TWO HOURS FOR DINNER French Duchess Who Visited - Not Consider Eating Serious - United States Says We Do ! ly Enough t Try to Simpli fy the Performance. PARIS, May 7. American food, aa served in restaurants in that country, did not favorably impress the . Duchess of Clermont-Tonnerre, who visited the Unit ed States last autumn, and has written a, book on her trip. Americans do not consider eating seriously enough, she in dicates, and are trying to "simplify the performance." The only American foods that appear to have made an appeal to the duchess was red bananas, California apples ami oranges and "hams from Virginia." ' "One must admit," she says in her book, ' ' that food in America is not good. To a Frenchman, the word 'meal' can not be applied to the bolting down of a club sandwich standing before a luncheon bar. The necessity of eating seems to have become for , Americans a sort ,of monotonous and obligatory aaonyanee arid they are bending all endeavors to ward simplifying the performance. ' ' The duchees says she "is unable to comprehend why an American should re quire less time for Jns wjole luncheon than one of her countrymen seeds to merely scan the wine list." She continues: "American butter is poor, and American cheese cannot be eaten. American chickens are emaciated and! scrawny and one has the feeling it is a cruelty to put a knife in them.

A miniuiuin of $200 a year is necessary for the support of an American family of five. W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist for the railroad brotherhoods, as&rted today before the railroad labor board. Mr. Lauck, who yesterday charged corporate profiteers with being chiefly responsible for present living costs, presented today a demafid on behalf of the 2,500,000 railway employes for the establishment of a mhiimum wage throughout the in dustry. He presented to the board a compilation of budgets on the cost of living based on studies made under his supervision anil by . federal and state agencies. "It is impossible," he 'said, "for a family of five in the United States to maintain itself even in decent poverty under existing conditions for a penny less than 42,500 a year. ' ' His estimate, he said, was supported by government agencies and quoted the estimate made by Professor Boyal 8. Meeker, commissioner of labor statistics, in August, 1919. That estimate was 12,262. The estimate for May, he in sisted should be f Mr. Lauck in his statement declared that "fundamental cause of all economic instability, all industrial unrest, all in terruptions of production and distribu tion has been high prices and profiteer ing by organized capital and middlemen and retailers. Both during and since the war the public has been snd is now virtually at the mercy of insatiable speculators and conscienceless financial ghouls." In concluding the brotherhood spokes man requested that the board curtail its examination of wage data and proceed immediately to the determination of the question of what constitutes a living wage.

E. G. Carson The afternoon session of the A. R. P. Synod on Thursday was perhaps the livest that will be held during the entire meeting.' At this time the amendment introduced by Dr. G. R. White, or Char lotte to the Forward Movement Commit tee's recommendation in regard 'to the distribution of the surplus of more than $250,000 realised from the Finnfnclal Compaign conducted during the year. This amendment was passed on . Thurs day afternoon. The committee that eon- ducted the Forward Movement campaign recommended that all the needs of the church might be canvassed by a ju dicious committee of st least seven and not more than ten, for one year, and at the next meeting of Synod submit a recommendation in reference to the equit able distribution of the surplus funds then in hand and, that thereafter might be realised. Rev. W. C. Kerr, of Covington, Tenn., who voted with the majority on Thurs day, moved a reconsideration on Friday. The motion waa carried and after con siderable discussion, the amendment was voted down, aad the committee ' recom- j raeuuaiion was acccpieu. The Forward Movement Committee had submitted its recommendation as a compromise originally. A good many I contributors felt that all the money realized should go only to the causes mentioned in the action of Synod a year ago, namely BrysOn College, Fayetteville, Tenn.; Woman's College, Due West; Erskine College, Due West; Board of Foreign Missions for Equipment in In dia aid Mexieo; Board of Home Mis sions to place work upon a cash basis; Expenses of campaign. Church Exten sion was not provided for, and Home Mis sions was assigned only $15,000, and that to place the work on a cash basis not for extension snd increase of salaries. The money realized from this campaign, it was understood, is in excess of monies raised by assessments for church benevo lences. While some felt that only the causes mentioned above should receive benefit from the surplus funds, and in the proportion originally designated; tothers felt that some other causes should also be remembered and some to 9 greater ex tent than originally intended. The Forward Movement committee ex plained that the campaign covers a ler iod of five years; that by this time next year perhaps the first $250,000 would not all be collected, and that it would be no al vantage at this time to effect a distri bution of what is not yet in hand; and that a more equitable distribution can be effected after the most careful and representative consideration of all the causes that may be presented. The discussion was somewhat heated, and the Seakers were very much in earn est. When the question finally came to a vote, the Forward Movement commit tee's recommendation carried by a large majority. Rev. J. W. Carson, D. D., of Newberry, S. C, is chairman of that committee, and Rev. W. B. Lindsay, pastor of the First A. K. P. ehurch of Charlotte, is secretary aud treasurer. Other members of the committee are: Bev. J. L. Oates, of York; Hon: J. R. Phillips, of Louisville, Ga. ; Mrs. R. C. Brownlee, of Due West, 8. C. ; Mrs. Zula Broch Sharpe, of Anderson, B.C.; Rev. J. R. Edwards of Fayteetville, Tenn.; and Rev. E. K. Strong of Fayetteville, Ten. , , At 8 o'clock Friday evening Rev. Oliver Johnson, of Winnsboro, S. C, delivered an able and eloquent address on the subject of Psalmody. This address wss followed by a conference on Home Missions. Rev. A. T. Lindsay, presi dent of Li a wood College, presided. Rev. J. L. Boyd, of Brighton, Tenn.. spoke en Evangelism, and Rev. W. W. Orr, D.D., on the general subject of Home Missions, especially as it applies to our own denomination. Dr. Orr is a noted evangelist, in fact one of the best in the country. He spends two months each year holding evangelistic meetings ia different places throughout the country sad his services are greatly in demand along this line ft is always a treat to bear Dr. Orr speak on mjaf subject.
