Murray, of the University of Minnesota, died today from an infection received while operating. SALESMANSHIP ABROAD BOOSTS FOOD EXPORTS 1» NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—American foodstuffs, pushed by American sales manship, have entered every country of the world. A recent survey shows that “buy ers' resistance” and the gastronomic prejudice of home-fed natives have capitulated to a tickled palate. Japan and China smack their lips over steaming corned beef hash and canned sausage. India is growing sturdy on Columbia river salmon and California fruit. And Brazil keeps the American market swamped with de mands for canned asparagus. Tariff Walla Scaled Not even tariff walls, which the European nations erected hastily af ter the armistice, have been greatly effective before the onslaught, ex port records show. Salesmanship is largely respon sible. Salesmen in foreign countries gen erally adopt the same methods used in America, it is pointed out. It pays to advertise—anywhere. And canned milk with a Burmese label appeals ns strongly to the Asiatic fancy as the American label appeals here. Imports Follow Immigrants In most cases. American goods are (Continued on Page Six.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Despite one of the severest reactions in stock ex change history last March, anil in dications of a slowing down in some major lines ol' business in 1927, the general level of stock prices at the dose of the year is well above that i at the end of 1925. Rond prices have risen to the highest levels since 1912. In both tile bond and stock markets, (lie total volume of husi-1 ness in 1928 was slightly below that I of 1925. The major treiH of stock prices has been upward since the earlyj j summer of 1924 although the big "bull” movement, did not get under i way until after the Presidential elec tion that year. At the beginning of 1920 prices were rising and continued thut way. with a few minor inter ruptions, until late in February when a heavy liquidating movement started. culminating in the disastrous March break which reduced quoted value:, [of listed securities several billion dollars in ihe aggregate. Charp Reaction Alternate periods of weakness and strength characterized the late spring markets, with a rather definite up ward tendency apparent again by I early summer. This continued iinlil I Ihe e irlv fall when another sharp reaction 'ook place. In the closing I months of Ihe year prices started to climb again, the industrial aver age touching the highest level ever recorded in the crjast mouth of the year. While it is generally conceded that the trend of business and money rates undoubtedly will determine III" movement of security prices in 1927. predictions of bankers and other competent observers of market co i dilions are more qualified than usual lat this season of the year, indicating widespread uhcertainty. Those com I milted to the cycle theory of husi j ness and market trends naturally I look for a downward readjustment of values while others see Mottling j in fundamental conditions that would warrant a general recession, although admitting that irregularities may de velop in certain lines. Sources of Uneasiness Three principal sources of uneasi ness are: 1), the huge volume of hank funds invested in securities: L'i, tiie rapid growth of installment buying, and lit. the low price of commodities, particularly cotton. In ability of business and commercial channels to absorb the huge iinpor's of gold within the last few years, necessitating the employment of funds derived from its sale in the securities markets, is Relieved to be responsible for the gigantic invest ment of banks in stocks and bon Jr I While methods of financing install ment purchases undoubtedly have been improved and strengthened i:i the last year or two, the extensive [use of this method particularly in the purchase of motor cars, radios and other luxuries, Is regarded as a source of danger in some quarters, land it Is generally conceded that i the real test of the system will not come until the country enters a I period of general depression. The de i dine in commodity prices is feared largely because of its adverse effect on purchasing power, particularly in the agriruliurul regions. Favorable factors in the situation as the year draws to a close are*: Ian abundance of credit at relatively low rates: comparatively low in ventories. resulting largely from so called "hand to mouth” buying and quick and efficient transportation, in creasing industrial efficiency, especi ally through tlie more general use of labor and time saving devices; j absence of any serious labor disputes j and a generally high rate of em I ployment, and gradual economic re habilitation abroad. Steel Shares Fluke On the other side of the ledger are: a slowing down in steel pro duction and building construction, the low price of cotton; increasing foreign competition; the relatively low margin of profit in many indus tries, and the large volume of brok ers’ loans. Steel shares, as a group, failed to make much progress although United States Steel common sold at the highest price on record in reflection of an unusually prosperous peace time year, despite the lower (Continued on Page Two.) “Bud's” Fiancee Comes to Town Lena Wilson (left), Canadian woods girl, came fo NeW York with Mrs. James A.

Rejection of the original "Nickel Plate” nietg**t plan by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the difficulties en countered in the preparation of a revised plan, together with a general wage increase to casters trainmen towurds the end of th year, tended to keep speculative enthusiasm for the rails in check. Railroad equipment stocks soared to record high levels, due to the heavy purchase of new equipment by tile principal carriers and the more general use of new automatic train control and signal devices. Tex tile and packing shares lost ground in reflection of poor Dude condi tions, but they showed signs of mark ed improvement as the year drew In a close. Record-breaking chain store nnd ma-il order sales brought liigliei prices for stocks of those companies. Avusement, chemical and food chares lacked a definite trend.

Jackie start ed the fad for youngsters this season when he first appeared to public gaze in a miniature edition of Dad’s long ’nils. When photos of the youthful, film luminary appeared in the papers tlm nghout the country, parents of young boys were beseigcd with rc quests for “pants like Jackie's” and soon the rage became national. But Jackie, like the other boys, struck n snag after he returned home. Moth er Coogan insisted that he return to his knickers, and Jackie plead for the long trousers. A heart to heart talk with father soon convinced the young star that parents take no heed of film fame or standing and Jackie discarded the long trousers. So, is it any wonder that Jackie Coogan is happy? He wears long trousers in his new picture, “Old Clothes.” Ir, Jackie’s supporting cast there arc Max Davidson, Lillian Elliott, Joan Crawford, Alan Forrest, James Mason and Stanton Heck. '“THE SHEPHERD KING’ COMING TO COLISEUM The story of “The Shepherd King, the William Fox version of the eels-i hrated stage success by Wright I-ori-1 tner and Arnold Reeves, which comes to the Coliseum Wednesday and Thursday, is one of impressive sim plicity endowed with a glamorous romance.

At Hi" time it vvs- soiling for $11. reports be came current that NYw York bankers were making an investigation and sun y of tile property for tile purpo of making a ufsiantia! advance of money to open up (lie mine in a big way. An official report by the Minister ,f Mines for British Columbia, made in 191-. said "Altogether it is a v underfill property and there is every reason to believe it can he de veloped into one of the greatest gold producers of the continent." Other Canadian gold lields were being investigated, i■■reiving much llnamiul attention and getting into the hanking and investment press at tile same time, and the stock naturally soared wilh out waiting for the result of the survey being made by the New York hanking interests. The results of tile survey never have been made public, but it was reported to have been unfavorable. Six months after i’ hail climbed to $109. it was hack to $11 per share and since thin has continued to decline. S' far as is known officially the property is just as good today as il was in July, 1925. It was a gamble then and so far as the investing public knows still remains in that category.

In time the property may or may not go into the big dividend paying class.

At the Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals of the M K. Church, Dr Clarence True Wilson, Cor responding Secretary of the Board attempted to answer two questions which are being propounded more and more frequently in the public press. These questions, he declared, are the most popular note being sounded by the "wets" today, and he cited them as follows: Why doesn't the church let politics alone and get back to Jesus Christ? Why doesn't it preach thf> Gospel as Jesus did and his apostles and not depend on a civil gover ment? Answering these queries Dr. Wilson said: We have the impression that if Jesus Christ were literally personally followed in his ideals and methods there would he far more Interference with loose government, nonenforcement of law. hypocrisy of men who take the oath of office to preserve law and order and sympathize with law breakers, especially with bootleggers and their patrons. A few months ago, when the Fosdiek contro versy was stirring up so much excitement in church circles anti Modernism in religion was being argued pro and con, another eminent Methodist churchman, l)r. Warren A. Candler, of Atlanta, Bishop of the Methodist Epicopal Church, South, for 20 years associate editor of the Christian Advocate, organ of that church, made a reply to Dr. Fosdtek's presen tation of tiio case of .Modernism in which he used the following words: Jesus Christ was not a reformer. Our I.ord never attempted to reconstruct so ciety through civil law. Slavery prevailed everywhere in His day. hut He inspired and led no abolition or emancipation move ment Jesus never attempted what is now i Hied “social salvation." With Him the renovation of society would inevitably fol low the regeneration of individuals. The case against Hie variant policy of the Board of Temperance, etc., as enunciated above by Hr. Wilson, his assumption that a "literal” personal fol lowing of Christ's ideals and methods would lead to even more general incursions by the Church into the r aim of civil government than is now indulged in hv it, could not ho more clearly stated than Bishop Candler lias put it His was the doctrine of precept and example, of teaching, the guidance of love, of personal salvation. Never of force through the c,.ntrul of civil government. A Veteran Passes. (Wall Street Journal.) When John A Stewart was horn, in 1 '122. in that comparatively rural section of New York City. Cut ton Street the liner residences were in the neigh borhood of Howling C.reen -Congress was still wor rying itliotit the wisdom of its purchase of Florida, from Spain, four years before, for $5,000.(100. The Louisiana purchase was only nineteen years old. land the 15.000,(too paid for the entire area from Mir Mississippi Valley to the Itoekies looked like a gamble. Stewart was barely twenty when Texas was annexed. There were no western troubles lie-! cause there was no "West." America, for political purposes, stopped at the Alleghanies. John A SU-wart was a personal friend of Lin coln. He was well into the forties when the great I’residi nt died and had an experience of more than twenty years of practical banking at the time of the Halite of (iettysburg. When lie was a baby the Monroe Doctrine was also in its swaddling clothes, for John Quincy Adams had only succeeded Monroe in Hie previous year. It Is a wonderful span of life, and with modern conditions of living centenarians are likely to Increase in number, al though there will not he many of them with such j a record cl’ modest usefulness as Stewart. He worked, in active personal cooperation, a man of assured position and of middle age, with! such legendary figures as Peter Cooper and John1 Jacob Astor. He antedated men like James .1. Hill, Cotlis IV Huntington and the late J. I’. Morgan, and ling survived them. Not much more than a third of his time was taken up in his service as presi dent of the t’nited States Trust Company, and vet there are few institutions, indeed, which show the same president for forty years. He retired, rather! prematurely, in 1921, when he was only 99. Most of us who have been for any length of time in Wall Street remember his modest ways, liisl gracious, unaffected manner, and the real likable-1 ness which assured him the affection of his friends' and the unswerving trust of his business associates.! He was decidedly deaf in his very latest years and hard to talk to, lint lie had Hie eyesight of a healthy middle-aged man who has taken care of j himself. He was not at till a faddist about liis own 'way of living, except that he gave up smoking about St years ago. Still less was lie concerned about other people's tastes, and the world may well wish that there were more like him. John A. Stewart cannot he called a power in finance or even one of the outstanding figures of the nation's business center. He worked all his life with men bigger than himself, even on his own Hoard of Directors. Hut his superb constitution and his temperate habit of life were balanced by a fine wholesome moral outlook and a temperate habit of thought. He served long and faithfully, passing I easily away after tile briefest of illnesses, blessing land blest. There remains no midi link with the past. As a nation we are forty-six years older than John A.' i Stewart, and therefore still too young to learn from Hie past, which seems a pity. Well-Intentioned Husybodies. (Seward Gateway.) The most remarkable feature in eoiineetioli with agitations by various societies for the conservation! of this and that in Alaska, is Dial these well intentioned husybodies prefer to do their work at long range instead of directing it on the ground. Now comes the Audo.bon Society with its per iodical agitation against killing Alaskan eagles, sel ling up in defense of the birds that they do not prey upon small game. It might lie interesting to the Easterners to know that the ravages of the eagles in some parts I of Alaska have almost depleted il of ptarmigan, rab 1 bits and grouse. The havoc they raise with fox is a tremendous annual loss to the fox farmer. I The best way tto cure these societies of the habit j of interfering in affairs that are purely Alaskan j is to set them down on salt pork and beans for a season. They would begin to eat tiie eagles along i with the remnants of ptarmigan and rabbits left bv the "glorious bird of prey.” General Andrews hopes to put the price of liquor j i at a point beyond the pocketbooks of the thirsty. I',ut experience has shown that with the thirsty thirst is beyond all question of price.— (Buffalo Cour ier and Express.) The Governors of North and South Carolina met and dined together in Greensboro the other day, 1 nothing being said, we suppose, and we doubt that any winking was done.— (Houston Post-Dispatch.) It is generally admitted that Governor Miriam Ferguson, of Texas, is not an orator, but never was there a statesman who registered a better jail de livery than hers.— (Boston Transcript.)

Some one has suggested Calvin Coolidge for the Presidency of Amherst College, his Alma Mater. Is Amherst in need of an era of economy? (lies Moines Register.) The forecasts indicate that anybody who thinks that the Congressmen won't have plenty to occupy j their attention this winter is mistaken.—(Indianapolis News.)

COAST LEADS EAST BY ONE GRID VICTORY Western Elevens Have Won Four Games, Eastern Teams Three. l’ASADENA. Cal.. Dee. 2s. Whoa Stanford's Cardinal Wave bucks the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Paso della Rose Bowl on New V ear s Day, the encounter will mark the tenth post season football i lassie staged here by representative college elevens from widely-separated parts of the country Each of tli" games has been held as a pari of the annual Tournament of Roses program on New Year's Day. Of the nine games already played, Pacific Coast teams have won four, teams from the eastern half of the nation have won three, and two games resulted ill fie scores. The first of the inter-sectional tilts was held in 191G, Washington State trouncing Brown, 11 to 0. The following year, Oregon won from Pennsylvania, 14 to 0. In tills and 1!)19, the college elevens took a war-time lay-off. while teams from the Army, Nary and Marine Corps training camps fought it out for tho benefit of the Tournament of Roses crowds. Harvard came west in 1920 to win from Oregon, 7 to (i. and in 1921 Ohio State journeyed most of the way across the continent to take a 28 to 0 walloping from California. California and Washington and Jef ferson fought lo a scoreless tie in 1922. The following year. Soul horn California dedicated Hie Rose Bowl by thrashing Penn Slate, II lo 2. Washington and the Navy battled lo a tie, 11-14, in 1924. Two years ago, the four horsemen of Notre Dunn galloped over Stanford, 27 to 10, and last year the Alabama Crimson Till washed Washington high and dry. 20 to 19. Tlie Pasadena Rose Bowl, where in the New Year's Day games are playod, is said to have the most pic turesque surroundings of any foot ball stadium in the land, it is situat ed in what is known as the Arroyo Seco, a great, flat-bottomed ravine,! the sides of which are dotted with rose gardens and tile-roofed villas. To the north, towering mountain peaks, ridges of the Sierra Madre range, march along the skyline. The bowl seats 53,000 persons. Parking areas surrounding ii provide accommodations for 30,000 automo- j biles. On the afternoon of New Year’s Day, 300 traffic cops keep things I moving on the roads leading to the, bowl, while 400 others roam the street of Pasadena, helping the pos- I sessors of football tickets to detach themselves from some three-quarters j of a million fellow citizens who have come to Pasadena solely to see a floral pageant and, having seen it, I are satisfied to clog traffic for n while. The Alabama-Stanford clash will mark the third successive New Year’s Day on which unbeaten teams have struggled in the Rose Bowl. In point of local interest, it probably sur passes any previous game played here. Pop Warner's Stanford teams cat always be counted on to pro vide a hatch of thrills, and Southern California fans still tingle when they recall the frenzied moments provided last year by the Alabama outfit. Stanford and Alabama are two of the three undefeated and untied i trams of first rank in the country. 1 Most of the so-called experts are j agreed that the winner of the New I Year’s Day clash will have a better1 claim to the mythical championship I of the nation than any other team in the country.
