 New York. Oct. l9 The re- covery in stock prices. which start cd yesterday. was checked this aft ernoon by a renewal of bear sell ing. directly chiefly against a num- Der of supposedly valuable special ties. Quiet strength characterized the morning session with buying influenced by lowering Of the re- newal rate on call money and the sharp drop in brokers loans last week. But many of the early gains had been wiped out before the end of the third hour. Trading showed marked decrease In volume.
 Such constructive developments as an increase in the American Radiator dividend. publication of an optimistic survey of business conditions by the Atlantic States Shippers advisory board and an- other series of favorable earnings statements apparently were dis charged. Pools endeavored to re- vive interest in a few issues in which special developments. are believed 10 be pending, but they failed to attract an outside follow ing.
 New low prices for the year, or longer, were registered by Sinclair Oil, International Cement, South ern Dairies B, Electric Refrigera- ton and Real Silk Hosiery. Rails, motors, steels and chemicals play cd a prominent part in the early upswing. but the rallies seemed to invite large offerings Of stock.
 Despite the calling of about st5,- o0o,ooO in loans and the with drawal of more than ss,00o,00o in government deposits from New York banks money was in plenti- full supply, being quoted as low as per cent in the outside market.

NAVY RECRUITS FOR
 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Tradesnen to Be Given Rating
 Of Petty Officers

According to the latest figures published in the United States Naval
 Institute, the |. s. Navy lacks exact ly 5S4 officers and 14,22o men of the
 5-5-5 ratio of naval strength. Other nations signatory to this agreement are filled to their allowed strength.
 This fact is not due to lack of man power available but it due to the ap-
 propriations for pay-navy which necessarily limit the existing strength
 of the service to S2, men.
 However this enables the naval re- cruiting service to insist on the high est type of American manhood for
 the naval service. A man must be an American citizen before he can
 be accepted, and careful and sub- stantiated references must be ob- talhed in every case. Due to the fact that the giant aircraft carriers, tho
 |. s. s. Lexington and the l.. S. S. Saratoga are soon. to commission. it Will become necessary in the near future to conduct a drive for 5000 men to fill their complements, there being 1900 men assigned to each ship. Skilled ratings such as ma chin!sts, boilermakers, coppersmiths. blacksmiths and patternmakers are especially desired and authority has been granted to enlist such qual- fled artificers in petty officers rat- ing immediately.
 In order 10 fill up the flight com- plement of these carriers special class of 152 enlisted men from gen. oral service will be assigned on Jan- uary list to the naval aviation school at Pensacola, Florida, where they will qualify as aval aviation pilots. The two carriers will be marvels of speed. comfort and sea-keeping abil- ity, s71 feet long, S5 knots speed. carrying about 75 planes each, with 125 aviators to each ship, and hav- ing a defense battery of inch guns, they will be the latest military ves- sells afioat. As a type they are en- tirely distinctive and exceptionally NdiudhiS, d SOitipiAdllotl VI dil iONCA and surface speed. mobility with heavy gun power probably forecast ing the ship Of the line of the future.
 According 10 announcement by Navy Recruiting Officer R. r. Dor delman the 5th battalion of the naval reserves, which includes all or ganized naval reservists In the state of Connecticut is credited with the highest percentage of complement, over any battalion in the third naval district which includes New York.

Filter Families" Contest
 Brings New Blood In Kansas

Lawrence. Kan, R)-A new so- cial classification, based not upon blue ancestral blood but upon the red blood of the living, is possi bility of not remote future.
 That was the thought in the mind of Dr. Florence Sherbon, of the University of Kansas faculty, when she launched a new venture six years ago at the Kansas Free Fail at Topeka a "Fitter Families contest.
 "rhe time may come" Doctor Sherbon said, "when the family not possessing eugenic certificate will be looked upon askance by the "ccr- tilied" family
 Thus was born an idea that has since been adopted by six other states and by the National Eugenice Society. In the last six years 523 persons. comprising 126 families have been examined as participants in the "Fitter Families Contest" in the Kansas Free Fair.
 The purpose of the eugenics con tests, Doctor Sherbon pointed out is first to arouse Family pride in be ing weli-born and to spread infor- nation concerning heredity and con duet.
