Three Stenoss Write to Handsome

inrcc StenogS write to handsome
Dear CynthIa--we arc three constant
readers OF your column, aud therefore
kindly ask that you publish this where
Handsome can sSC IL. Thank YOU.
Dear Handsome--Wc are three beau.
ttful modern girls who have read your
letter and can, or think we can. give you
the advice which you seek, along with
our opinion.
We do not believe your parents
brought you up to be as conccited as
you arc and surely did not mean TO make
you as handsome as you cain to be,
but TO bo a full.hedged man and not to
bo standing in front of the mirror all
the time adniring yourself. Tp until
now we always thought that the word
"conccit" applied to girls only, but,
believe US, they have nothing on you.
Since your mother has stopped telling
YOU goodnight stories and you have
put on your first pair of long trousers,
which evidently have helped to make
you handsome, YOU Should be placed IN
store window for show. 1t seems
also that you love yourseff moro than
all your relatives. We would love 10
meet you at one Of your so-Called parties
just to satisfy our curlotiIy, aS We have
never seen q fellow as beautiful AS we
pictured you TO be after having read
your letter. All you need is high hat

YOU do not need beautiful cars, as your
looks alone will attract the girls. il
10 certainly a shame you weren't born
girl with such looks as YOURS We
wouldn't be surprised IL you had told
us that you wear rubber gloves while
working (but you really should not DO
such thing with your looks) for fear
YOU may soil your pretty bands, and II
Is pity that you can't take the par,
of the handsome hero IN some movie
dim. Our advice Is that you apply for
such a position, and thus have the oppor.
tunity to let the world scc the most
handsome fellow In the United States.
II you have as much az you have looks,
you must be the catch OF the season
go our advice is, Handsome, try TO keep
your good looks by going to he'd early,
rising early and do not use cosmetics,
as they are harmful. AS such beautiful

Let mo tell Bachelor" too. that girls

OILS ARE STRONG
ONCURB MARKET

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, May (CurbD.-There
was considerable irregularity on the
curb exchange today. While the de-
lay in the expected advance in crude
oil prices caused profit taking in
some issues. others rose into new
high ground. Imperial Oil of Canada
was one of the outstanding features,
advancing to a new high mark. Mer-
ritt Oil and Salt Creek also made new
tops for the present movement and
there was active buying in some of
these issues by commission houses.
The Wyoming oils, including Salt
Producers were well held.
Mexico Oil Higher.
Profit taking by traders was in evil
dence in some of the, Standard oils at
times and price movements in this
group were irregular.
Mexico Oil rose sharply following
the announcement of the receipt of
advices from Mexico that the Free
port No. well of the Sinclair, on
the San Miguel Hacienda, had come
in good for 10000 barrels. -
This well is 400 yards west of the
Mexico company's holdings. Mexican
Seaboard started slightly lower but
rallied later. A new group, directed
by a prominent operator. is active in
this stock.
Motors FirmeS.
Renewed interest was taken in some
of the motor issues. Cleveland was
the leader advancing several points
on buying by a prominent stock ex-
change house, which is known to be
affiliated with the management of the
company. 1t was said that the demand
followed adWces of excellent earnings
and large orders. Durant issues and
Hudson Motors were fractionally
higher. Short covering was in evidence
in Radio common by floor traders, and
that stock was slightly higher. Dubil
ier Radio held steady. Phillip Nor
ris was firmer and Todd Shipyards
moved up under small buying orders.
Bonds were quite active and steady.
Chief interest was again displayed in
Interborough IS. which were in good
demand.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Comparatively
few changes occurred in the price
movement of bonds on the stock ex-
change today. II the slight harden
ing of the call money rate had any
effect at all, it only served in part to
steady the general list. Interest in
foreign external loans centered in the
British and French issues. The for
mer were strong, with special demand
for the loans of 1922 and 1929. which
responded to the rise of sterling ex-
change to it's highest in three years.
French Republic 1i2s and IS were
under Thursdays low figures. French
municipais. however, held fairly
steady. Liberty bonds stood still.
Traction Issues Firm.
Greater New. York traction issues
remained active and strong. Brook

Their rise of or more points was
due to the favorable report of Brook

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 5.-Contrary
though various individual move
ments of business lines in this sec-'

ness conditions are being constantly
bettered. Retail business is COM
paratively dull, collections are fair
and wholesale business Is moderate.
Yet in retail trade some lines are
flourishing while others are quiet. 1t
is good in some districts and slack in
others. Wholesalers report similar
indications, but the signs of steady
and healthy improvement in all basic
industries are plainly evident. and a
great volume of capital is seeking in
VeStmept.
The demand for investments is the
most significant factor in the situ-
alton at present. In past months big
capital has been in the market. but
now the trend is evident among those
of smaller means. The country banks
are taking commercial paper as fast
as it is offered. indicating the strong
position of those institutions
