Reduced to Its chief essential, trading on the stock exchange Tuesday tra versed for the most part the reaction ary or retrograde movement of the Inst two months, several special Issue falling to new low records for the year or a longer period. Developments In their direct rela tion to values were mainly unfavorable when not distinctly discouraging. These ranged from additional dividend suspensions or reductions to further cutting of working forces on the rail roads and at steel centers, a forth coming drastic "readjustment" In the motion picture Industry and mora bank failures in the northwest. Local Industrial conditions were un settled by threats of another harbor strike, beginning with the new year nnd rumors affecting the financial status of the more important utilities were again actively circulated. Passing of the dividend on Anacon da Copper after an unbroken record of 1( years, was of a piece with prevail ing conditions In that Industry. The course of other stocks seemed to tore shadow similar action In the near fu ture. Rails were the only shares to manifest a degree of firmness, a few of the more representativa transporta tions, especially coalers, transconti nental and grangers being again re sponsive to better November earnings where substantial net gains were the rule.

Iowa has achieved such remark able results In state park creation and development that the first Na tional Conference on Parks Is to be held here January 10-12. :, Experts from every state will be represented, to discuss park problems and Incidentally to learn how Iowa has been able to do so mucn. Ninety-seven out of every, hundred acres In Iowa are capable of cultiva tion, according to official statistics, leaving only three per cent of park able land. That three per cent how ever, contains Interesting ' outdoor things. The Indian mounds, for in stance, several hundred of which' are scattered over the state, are in a min or way to the United States what the pyramids are to Egypt, relics ot an ancient civilization. About fifty of the mounds are within state parks, while the others will be Included In the parks to be laid out in the future. Some of them have been despoiled of their treasures of pottery, beads and fighting implements, but many remain intact and officials of the Iowa His torical Department hope some day to have an 'adequate collection of the untensils which the first Americans unsed In their every day life. The ice caves of Iowa are another interesting part of its' park system. They owe their existence, probaly, to those prehistoric seas which once cov ered this territory, ofr they are found in limestone regions, where the rock in porous. In the winter these cav ities store up cold air. When sum mer comes and the corn begins to grow under the Impulse of a burning sun, the frigid air escapes slowly, with rime and hoarforst. These caves in truth give Tise. to one of the most interesting botanical phenomenon of this country the survival in Iowa of trees and flowers that have their normal range far to the north. While Iowa swelters, the temperature of the soil on the rocks near the caves remains at 50 to 65 degrees and there frequently grow the balsam fir of the north woods and the aconnlte or monk's of the moun tains.

Poverty and pellagra go hand In hand, the United States Public Health Ser vice concludes after a three year study of the disease in the cotton mills of South Carolina. "As the income fell the disease was found to Increase and to affect more and more other members of the same family," says an announcement by ' service. "As the Income rose, the dis ease decreased and was rarely found in families that enjoyed the highest Incomes, even though this highest was quite low.. "Differences among families with the same Incomes are attributed by the report to differences In the ex penditures for food, intelligence of the housewife, and ownership of cows, gardens, etc. Differences among vil lages which were economically similar are attributed to differences In the availability and condition of food In lo cal markets. "A recent statement by one of the largest life insurance companies In the United States Indicates that the food standards of Southern wage earners must have improved remarkably ot late lor the death rate from pellagara has fallen from 66.7 per 100,000 In 1915 to 2.3 in 1919."
