The celebration closed f with the dances Monday night. Peace Preservation Outstanding Theme The high point in the formal ex ercises of the forenoon was the Armistice day address delivered by General U. G. McAlexander, "Rock of the Marop." whose mes sage, despite his outstanding war record, was concerned chiefly with the problems of preserving peace. "The only unhappy man at this moment eleven years ago was the man in uniform.and he was un happy because he knew the war was not ended," said the general. "He knew that the only peace that could have endured would have been concluded in Berlin." Need of Armaments . Strongly Stressed The speaker expressed little pa tience with orators who are now shouting that there will be no more wars and that armaments are useless. This generation has had enough of wars, but the next generation will not know of war's awfulness and will remember only its glorious victories and glamour. "If you want to stop war, re prepared," he declared. ""If you want to stop war, you can do It inside your own heart." Emotional education In the di rection of a constructive feeling toward humanity Is the thing that will mkke war Impossible, he added. Destructive emotion is the thing that breeds war. Guidance of Emotions Declared Essential "Never mind what your child ren think," he admonished his au dience. That is superficial. Guard their emotions." He added that self pity is the most dangerous of destructive emotions, breeding trim and other evils. "Start with a constructive feel ing yourself, and it may spread to all humanity," he concluded.

Concerted Drive by Bears Is Blamed Prices started to drift down ward from the opening gong but for the first two hours the de cline was orderly and business was relatively light in volume. Many brokers attributed the late break to a concerted "bear drive," but there had been steady liquida tion throughout the day of weak ened marginal accounts. Some in vestment selling also was appar ent as a result of the uneasiness created by the many alarmist ru mors in circulation and the sui cide of James G. Riordan, prom inent New York banker, who is unofficially reported to hare sus tained large losses in the market. Total sales on the New York stock exchange for the three hour session were 3,367,150 shares, more than half of which changed hands in the last hour, which., compares with 2,124,600 shares on Friday.

There will be a different meth od of choosing the enumerators than was employed in 1910 or 1920. All the names of applicants will be sent to Washington. This will include a good many already on hand. Then each week the names of new applicants will be likewise forwarded to the Wash ington headquarters. There they will be listed, and test questions will be forwarded from the office of the director of the census. The answers will be returned to Wash ington and given their ratings there, when the papers will be sent to R. J.
