SURVEYS AID TO
STOCK RECOVERY
Active Building and Large
Bank CIearingS Factors
in Improvement,
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK. April 26.-The weekly
mercantile reviews called attention to
activity In the building trades, large
bank clearings and reduced stocks of
goods in practically all lines. AIlusion
was also made of the improved pro-
spects of the reparatiOns settlement.
These surveys gave some impetus to
the recovery in the stock market, and
further substantial gains were scored
by industrial leaders in the early
trading Relative buoyancy was dis
played by stocks such as Steel. Bald
win. Can. General Electric and Stude-
baker. while Cast Iron Pipe scored a
sensational advance TO 80 against the
low Of SIS in the previous session.
First Hour
The active stocks maintained
strong tone through the first hour and
new highs on the recovery were re
ported by industrial leaders. Steel at
1O1. Can at 1929. Studebaker S6k,
General Electric 214l5 and Baldwin
at 1131k. Short covering had a great
deal to do with the continued rise but
considerable buying can be traced to
some large operators and traders.

are still bearish. and it is claimed big
professionals have not switched their
position. Something like fifty stocks
are still loaning fiat.
Second Hour
No further progress Of the rally was
scored by the principal stocks in the
early part of the second hour. but
the general list maintained a conf
dent tone. Operations for the rise
went ahead in various specialties.
Associated Dry Goods sold al 942s,
up approximately 3 points from the
low Of a week ago. Wall Street is
looking forward to some constructive
developments over the next few weeks
It seems certain that in the event Of
a big German loan, bankers will be
in favor of a strong stock market.
Closing Hour
Stocks closed the week with an out
burst of strength which carried the
Industrial leaders to new high ground
on the current recovery. It was evi-
dent that the undoing Of an over
crowded situation on the short side
was still the principal impulse behind
the rally. But back of this force was
the realization that the drastic decline.

ASSISTANT DRIVERS

With so many people learning the
gentle art of driving experience ed
pilots are reporting considerable an
noyance from those who voluntarily
serve in the capacity of assistants
These folks are not the people who
used to sit on the back seat and offer
suggestions that were never taken
seriously. They are people who
know just enough about driving to
think they know a whole lot more
than the party at the wheel. They
are the people who grab the wheel
when they think the pilot isn't work
ing fast enough. They are the people
who imagine they are assisting by
pulling up the emergency brake
when. as matter OF fact. the safest
way out of the predicament may be
through the quickest possible accel-

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS.
One Of the easiest things to do
with a car Is 70 get into more trouble
than you're try'n' TO get out of. I
s'pos. 1t sounds IKE downright az
mess but there are times when {
can serve an owner best by suggest
in that he leave well enough alone.
This is often the case with water
leaks. There's car standin over
there in the corner now Just because
the owner insisted on havin' that
nut on the fan bracket frightened
Just very little water was leakin'
out and it wasn't much of hard
ship for him to add a little more
water &c the radiator each day. but
1t wasn't quite shipshape enough
for him. I told him that II I tight
ened the nut the leak might stop.
then again that 1t might be a lot
worse. Cpshot Of 1t was he got a
wrench and tried to tighten. it him
self only to start a regular stream
OF water leakin' out
Sometimes a little water leak will
stop Of its own accord. If you give it
half a chance. When you get a part
that never has to be removed
wouldn't even hesitate soldering it
bit. Ordinarily repairers don't like
to do things like that. but what's
the difference II it produces results.
Car owners are up tree over the
valve grindin' business. They are
told. on one hand. that unless they
have carbon cleaned out every five
thousand miles or so the valve seats
may have to be reamed out in order
to re-seat the valves properly. On
the other hand they're told that If
the engines runnin' all right they'd
better leave 1t alone.
What a lot Of mechanics fail to
tell the car owner Is that if he let's
we'll enough alone he's got to give
the car little more than the usual
amount of care to make up for it.
In the case Of valves he ought to
put little kerosene in the ~cylin-
ders once in a while. avoid using
the choker as much as possible. and
help the motor with the best of >oil
and gas. You can't burn both ends
