Problem Is to Get Enough Help.

ceased and prices have come down
before consumption was really eur
tailed.
Wall street spectators have tried
to alarm the public into thinking
that the reaction which has occurred
is the forerunner of a much more
important trade decline. But in out
side speculative circles the judgment
Is precisely the reverse. There 1t is
felt that In cutting down now the
danger of another period Of depres-
sion like that Of three years ago has
been ayertcd.
Huge OutpOur of View Issues.
One factor which has unquestion
ably told against the stock market OF
the last six weeks. as IL had told
against the bond market before. is
the huge outpour Of new issues. EN-
isting corporations. and newly form
ed companies as we'll found in the
the first quarter of the year that
they could do their money raising
through the sale OF stock instead Of
through the more serious obligation
Of mortgage bonds. These new no
tations coming out one or more n
day, and followed by the rapid mul-
tiplication of new and untried is
sues on the stock exchange list, hay {
tended to create supply great.r
than tho demand.
MS IL IOt Il C0nUlllOn, Ol cCCTStf
which Will prevent tho eventual re
assertions of true values. But II car.
for the time. obscure the question o.
values and make these so-Called tech
nical conditions the supreme influence
that counts most.
Labor Is Farmers Main Problem.
Cotton acreage has increased con
siderablE over what IL was yea
ago at this time The May report Of
the government winter wheat fore
shadowed a crop somewhat above tht
average. Consequently both the cot
| ton trade and the grain trade have
| had 10 change their calculations re
garding future supplies and this has
told heavily on prices, along with
| curtailed mill demand in the case o.
cotton, and smaller export demand in
the case Of wheat.
The chief problem for the farmel
! however, is still labor. Many more
| workers will be needed in the harves'
fields, from the middle Of June until
| the middle OF October. Are the farm
ers going to attempt TO bid against EN- :
! ployers in the building trades and tn.
steel industry" II SO. what will happeI.

! will they have later on TO say to the
peole at Washington and elsewhere who
| think il is good politics TO stand by the

CHICAGO, May 12.-An unexpected
shortage of stocks CARED this w6sks
butter markets through 10 a firm
close. a condition in contrast with
the closing Of last week. Despite
the strength. the markets appeared
nervous Dealers showed a fear OF
being caught with A surplus. while
buyers only slightly relaxed IN the
policy of buying solely for current
needs. Tho caution Of both dealers
and buyers was attributed 10 the
nearness of the usual increase in pro
duction. almost invariably followed
by a break in prices.
Danish and Canadian butter con
tinued to arrive. Negotiations were
reported under way for imports Of
Argentine, Holland and New Zealand
butter. while small lots Of Irish stock
were said to have been bought at at
tractive prices.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 12.-The best
opinion at the close Of this week
still is that the recent decline in
stock exchange prices has been much
moro an internal readjustment than
an Interpretation OF conditions out
side. Little of a really unfavorable
character has happened in the busi-
ness world during the last month
and a half,
Much has been made in the stock
market OF the last few days about
the holding up Of big enterprises in
the building construction field. New
buildings have been the most prolific
source of orders for the steel COM
panies, and the steel shares have been
pressed for sale on the contention
that however busy the mills may be
now, new orders are bound to fall
off even more sharply than they have
already.
POstpOnement Called Advantageous.
The other side of the picture is
that the postponement OF building
projects is. a distinctly good thing
because this is the industry ir which
the competition for Ia Dor has been
carried to the greatest extreme and
in which the peril was greatest that
mounting costs would lead to mount
ing prices with eventual violent re-
action.
Had other lines Of business been
like the building trade as it was as
late as a fortnight ago the position
would have resembled that of 1926
at the elimination of the great post
war imitation.
If the deferring of large construc-
tion undertakings has the effect OF
bringing back wages TO a reasonable
| level and discouraging exorbitant de.
mands for higher pay in other direc-
tionS IT will be good for the genera
situation, even il it does temporarily
affect the business OF the steel com.
panies and the producers Of other
| building material.
Expansion Warning Needed.
The feverish way the business
movement was going two months age
aroused widespread uneasiness. which
found expression in many warnings
from high places as to what would
happen IL the country continued &c

YOUR BABY AMI MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Diet of School Children

After the child has passed out of
the stage of infancy less attention
is paid to his diet. One takes 1t
more or less for granted that if he
eats what the grown-ups do he is
being well nourished. 1t would be
much more sensible to plan the
meals with the needs of the children
in view, and then let the grownups
choose their diet from that. Both
the grownups and the children
would benefit.
Never let the children get into the
habit of going to school without
breakfast. Make them get up fifteen
minutes earlier If necessary but in
sist on them eating. Not to eat
breakfast is a habit that once begun
is hard to break. The children in
sist that they are mot hungry, and
it makes them sick" etc. Insist on
some food and then judiciously add
more until they are eating a normal
amount. For growing children In
cold weather there should be a hot
cooked cereal, as cream of wheat,
oatmeal, barley, cracked wheat
something of that sort; toast, bacon
and either a glass of hot milk OF
| cocoa. If they will take a dish OF
| stewed fruit so much the better.

COMFORT OF PILLOWS

There is much comfort in pillows; much, much more than
most Of us get out of them.
There are few of us [ am sure who ever think OF using
more than one pillow. We have our own pillow and have it
just right of course, either very flat and small or large and
hard whichever we prefer. What more do we want, you ask.
When you have been usually tired, your back rather achey
and your legs extremely weary, have you ever tried tucklng
a pillow under the knees 1t will do more to take the ache not
of your back and rest your legs than anything else you might
try. If you have ever been a patient in a hospital you well
remember how good it felt when the nurse tucked a pillow
under your knees. Why not try the same thing at home when
Won are unusually weary. We miss so many little comforts
just because We don't think.
Then there is the baby pillow. Do you keep one always
ON your bed? If you don't you are missing another comfort.
There is nothing like it to tuck in behind the shoulder or just
at the small of the back. 1t fills us and fits into that weary
little crevice so well.
Yes, pillows and plenty of them are good ~bedfellows.
Get the habit of using them and see for yourself what COM
fort they will give you.
