MANY SHARP GAINS
IN CURB MARKET
Saturday Session Finds Popular
Issues Advancing From One
to Eight Points.
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, June 13.-Business on
the curb exchange today assumed ex-
ceedingly large proportions for a half
holiday session and substantial ad-
rances were again registered in the
industrial division. Prominence in
the early dealings was attached to
the overnight upswing in the Con
tinental Baking class A, which opened
at 1878, gain of about 3 points and
then reacted about points with a
subsequent rally
In the last hour vigorous buying
appeared in the more popular issues
and gains extending from / to s
points were made. This movement
was under the leadership of national
power and Lehigh securities. Indus
trials included material spurts in
moving picture and radio securities.
The petroleum shares lacked uni
formity as result of profit taking in
some issues which attracted specula-
tive interest on the sharp upturn, but
renewed buying was also in evidence
and several issues bettered their posi-
t1ons marketwise by about one point.

STALEMAT tt IS
REACHED ON
MOSUL
British Apparently Despair OF
Arbitration and Turks
Stand Firm

GENEVA, Sept. 21.-Little hope
for settlement Of the Mosul cues
ton could be seen today. with the
Turkist delegation insisting that 1t
would not be governed by any less
than a unanimous vote Of the
League council, the British appar-
emily despairing of arbitration.
Colonel. Amery. secretary of the
DominioTIs,. and Great Britain's dele.
gate, nominally was waiting word
from London following today's meet
ing Of the cabinet. but ne expressed
little hope.
Arbitration with participation
of both interested countries is i'm
possible" he told International News
Service. II am awaiting the Cab
inet's decision whether to withdraw
or to seek a compromise.
A member of the Turkish delega-
ton frankly expressed an attitude of
determination which may force the
appeal Of the Mosul dispute to the
world court.
Lord Curzon was badly informed
during the Lausanne negotiations"
he said, IF he thought the Turks
were willing to allow the League
council to decide the Irak question
on any other basis except unani-
mously, iflcluding the Turkish vote.
Since the question deals with the
future of Turkey it is only fair that
we be allowed voice"

Lone Wolf Asher is
Sent to Chicago
For Two Years

James Leroy Asher, known
and feared as "the lone wolf"
of the prohibition force, is
shaking the dust of ungrateful
Washington from his tan OK
foTds today.
Rejected by the local courts
as an adequate cellar sniffer
and even now under investiga-
ton in Peoria, Ill, for his work
out there, Mr.. Asher is going
to Chicago for two years.
Just why he's going to Chi
cago and why his period of
work there is set at two years
are some of the little secrets
which the prohibition unit holds
so close to its heart.
Union Station officials said
they had heard nothing about
big farewell party at the
train, to be staged by leading
Washingtonians. Probably there
won't be any.

CLAIM PRINCE KIDNAPPED
TO FOIL STAYING PLOT

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. I'll
Rumors are afloat that Prince
Ahmed Self Eldin, who disappeared
from a mental institution in Eng
land after having bean confined
there for a quarter of a century
was spirited from England to save
him from assassination.
A plot by Egyptian enTissaries
to kill Prince Ahmed, who is the
brother of King Fuad. was I'M
covered by relatives of the prince
and they therefore decided to kid
nap the prince and take him from
England, according to the runOrs
here.
In political circles it is believed
that the assassination stories are
being circulated as a defense by
those who were responsible for
taking the prince from England
without the consent of the British

1t is officially called Lima now,
which is more as it should be, for
there is nothing royal about the
place. But it is interesting, and
Spanish, and lively, although just
now a bit fatigued from the Gran
Centennial celebration of the battle
of Avacac chu, the historic occasion Of
Peru's winning independence from

The bluets are the very essence or
Spring. There is about their tiny
stature, their innocent sky-blue eyes.
gazing up at one, something that
symbolizes the childhood of the year
Quaker ladies and innocence are other
names for this flower All who know
the demure charm can easily see how
the names arose.
Bluets are notable for being among
the few wildfiowers of eastern United
States that are really blue, without
touch of violet or purple in them
In the center of each blue eye is a
golden pupil where the slender tube
expands. Although the little four
lobed corolla is never more than
half Inch across, the flower is still
conspicuous one, perhaps because it
grows in tufts, with 20 to 80 OF the
delicate little stems together.
Bluets are persistent little bloom
ers. Beginning now, they may keep
up their good work of cheering the
stroller in the upland pastures around
Washington until June. After that,
another species, with lilac -colored
flowers, will take their place. But it
has not the innocent freshness of
the biuet.
SO little do we value the common
blessings that it never occurs TO any
one in this country to cultivate bluets.
But in England, where they are not
wild, they are highly priced, and as
they will not grow in the open there,
people raise them under glass as a
great delicacy and rarity from Amer
lea Just as in this country we prize
the English primrose.

Departure From Masculine Styles
BY MARY MARSHALL.

ing In a tailored coat that is nearly
a duDlicate of her brothers, with
straight -heeled shoes, closely cut
hair a1d a simple felt hat--that same
woman may appear in the frilliest
of lace frocks at five that afternoon.
After all the masculine attire with
most women is only a pose.
You may choose between black lace
and the so-called natural shades
which are used by clever dressmak-
ers. Black is often posed over or
child. pink or apricot. The natural
shades are achieved by using the
linen threads in their natural undyed,
unbleached condition. Beige. ecru
and other tones are thus achieved.
Often the lace is dyed to match the
shade of chiffon with which it is
used-various violet tones being
especially liked. The sketch shows
lace dyed pink, which forms yoke
and lounces, while the frock between
is of pleated pink georgette.
The forecast is made that we are
to have a revival of the old-time
lingerie frock, combining fine en-
broidery, hand tucking and various
lace edges, insertions and medallions.
This, of course, involves much hand
work, but fine hand work is one of
the striking characteristics OF the
new clothes.

What TomorrowMeans to You
Aries.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Aries.
The conditions that prevail the latter
part of today will show, tomorrow,
steady and continuous improvement,
until at about noon you will sense
feeling of courage and optimism, which
will put new life into you and give you
that assurance which is so essential to
the successful prosecution of any under
taking you may have in hand. Any
enterprise that is based on good judg-
ment can be launched with every pros
pect of ultimate success, and the signs
counsel forceful activity and tireless
energy. In the evening, the aspects
although not quite so inspiring-are be-
nign, and you will, as a consequence,
view with complacency and satisfaction
the efforts you made earlier in the day.
Normalcy Is a term that can be fifty
applied to the child born tomorrow, both
in a physical and a temperamental
sense. This child, according to the
signs, will be normally healthy, both in
mind and body While 1t may not be
destined to make its mark in the world,
1t will be endowed with many lovable
qualities that will endear it to one and
all. 1t will not be very ambitious, and
will probably not be prepared at any
time to sacrifice its comfort, or that Of
others, for the carrying out of any pro-
gram that might, If put into execution,
bring it either wealth or distinction. If
a girl. 1t will become good wife and
mother; if boy, good husband and
father.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are not very ambitious and not per-
sistent in working to attain your OBJ
ject. You have normal intellect.
Your erudition is more superficial
than fundamental. You are a good
conversationalist, and, possessing a
retentive memory, have acquired a
reputation for alertness of mind and
keenness of perception. You cannot
initiate as well as you can initiate; as
a consequence, you are more fitted to
fill subordinate position than become
a matser or mistress of destiny.
You are impulsively affectionate,
but not so constant as others would
like you to be. Your attachments are
more transitory than permanent You
always crave what is hard to get
Temperamentally, you typify the old
adage that expectation is sweeter
than realization"
Well known persons born on this
date are: Edward A. Sothern, actor;
George Harris, educator; Hamilton
Hamilton, artist; Edwin A. Abbey,
artist; William w. Rockhill, oriental
ist and diplomat, and Agnes Repplier,
author.

My Neighbor Says:

my NelgnOOr says.
Make a quantity of thick boil
ed starch on wash day. pour what
is left over in a glass jar, put it
in the refrigerator, and the next
time you want TO use it dilute
with hot water.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice
added to a quart of water will
make rice very white and keep
the grains separate when boiled.
Colored handkerchiefs require
a little more care in washing than
plain ones. They should first be
soaked for 10 minutes in basin
Of tepid water to which a tea
spoon of turpentine has been add
ed. This will insure their retain
ing their color. and after the
soaking they can be washed in
the usual way.
II threads draw hard and breaks
easily when preparing a piece of
fancy work. little white soap
rubbed on the wrong side of the
linen is helpful. A lather applied
with brush is often convenient
and does not harm the linen.

beat it thoroughly. then brush to
