MARKET HAS
new SETBACK
Much Scale Buying in Evil
dence at Opening of
Trading Today

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 Omitted
Press.)-In view OF the fact that the
transactios in the last hour of Tues
days stock exchange session ran at
the rate OF 100000 shares, many
authorities felt today that thisssell-
ing marked the climax OF current
reaction.
Considerable scale buying was in
evidence at the opening today, re-
hecting efforts OF big operators to
find the bottom of the decline.
Steel Common. which was one Of
the few stocks to show a gain on the
day in the previous session. receded
u TO 10ss on the initial transaction
because tho earnings statement for
the third quarter fell short OF COW
ering common dividends.
But the general industrial list was
fractlonally higher and rails &ere
steady.
The general list continued to show
a better tone as the day progressed.
Recoveries approximating a epoint
took place in steel. Studebaker, Bald
win and other speculative leaders.
while several specialties showed
conspicuous strength.
May Department Stores led this
class attaining a new 1922 high at
Isl. against Mondays low of 134h
Wall Street regarded the quar-
terly statement OF U. S. steel as a
disappointment because it failed to
show dividend earnings on common
stock by s1.Sss.6O2.

foreword by Pierre S. dupont, presl-
dent of General Motors Corpora
ton, which says:
Industry is founded upon tho
manufacture and sale Of things that
make this world a better place to
live in. Industry has nothing to sell
save useful service. Prac-
teal application OF knowledge to the
making OF things which are useful in
mans everyday life is industry's
contribution to the advance OF civ
ilization. Civilization Is our inheri-
lance from the ages; ours. in trust
for a while. TO which We must add
some useful knowledge that coming
generations may increase their
horizon.
THE divisions OF General Motors
Corporation have always been pio-
neers in the automotive industry,
themselves to the task Of
reducing the cost and increasing the
utility of individual transportation
for people and goods; also mOtoriz-
ing and electrinying the farm to help
increase the supply of fod. That
briefly, is the contribution of the di-
visions of General Motors TO the

JULES VERNE'S ISLE
ZORDA GRAND TODAY

The Grand theatre will present to
day "Isle Of Zorda" based on the
celebrated Jules Verne novel, Matthias
Sandorf." The Film Review of Atlanta
Ga. says the nine-reel feature is an
absorbing story with brilliant back
ground. It is almost as though we
we're given glimpse into another
world as we follow the characters
from the Adriatic coast to Monte
Carlo and thence to the mysterious
Island Of Zorda. The story is as fas-
cinating, as Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea-" Around the
World in Eighty Days." or any other
imaginative tale from the same pen
''Ihe Isle Of Zorda' is a Continental
production and the scenes are made
exactly where the events are suppos-
ed to have transpired, with the magnl-
ficent gradens and sea view at Monte
Carlo, the quaint fishing villages with
their narrow streets, the harem ano
slave market and the great prison OF
the mountainside with its drawbridge
The beauty of the production is heigh
tened by the artistic photography

REGULAR SLEEP VERY
IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN

Sleep is most important. Children re-
lquire more than grown ups. Do not
weight down your body with heavy
bed covers. Light weight blankets or
wool and cotton comforts Of light
weight are excellent. Cotton flannel
sheets are warm in winter. Outing
flannel gowns are most comfortable.
Feather beds are not sanitary. An
home can have q good cotton mattress
and good stout springs. NeWspa ners
ttWcen springs and mattress are
warm and save wear Of the mattress.
A layer Of some heavy cotton mater
lal should always cover the mattress
before the bottom sheet goes on. Re-
member we spend one third Of our life
in bed; why not be comfortable that
third at any rate.
DO you take time to eat?

In a blossoming crown for the Prod

While the pitiless curses that followed

Were keen as the tempest, and cruel
