STOCKS SLUMP
ON BIC SALES
BY international News Service


NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Industrial
stocks gravitated to a lower range
of prices at the beginning of trading
today, as the result of a consider
able influx of selling orders over
the weekend.
Liquidation was based chiefly on
the failure of many important d.
visions of American business to
measure up to expectations, and
the realization that cheap money"
cannot sustain a bull market in
definitely.
Heavy short selling Of United
States Steel, Remington Rand. Mack
Trucks and othe rspeculative ia.
vorites, as well as a wide variety
of the independent oils. resulted in
sharp revision of the .upturn in
the last three sessions last week.
United States Steel lost more
than a point in the first period,
while General Motors was down 2,
Dupont down an3d Houston Oil 4.
A few of the pool specialties re-
sponded to the stimulus of aggres-
sive buying, and railroad stocks in
the Nickel Plate group reached a
slightly higher price level.
Dodge Brothers preferred was a
weak spot in the motor group, with
a new 3-point decline to so.
Selling of stock accompanied
rumors of the possible suspension
of the per cent dividend, owing
to the unfavorable earnings record
Of the company.
The stock has declined 25 points
in the current movement and nearly
IS points from the price at which
it was introduced to the market by
Dillon, Read & Co.

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. - Prices in

Two courses lay open to me. 1 could

court, or else l could temporize. The
latter seemed to me wiser. 1 arose and
approached Monsieur Rameau.
Monsieur" I said, speaking as a man
OF the world, which you have so kindly
called me, may l not point out to you
that you are basing a serious charge
upon insufficient evidence? You have
added to your suspicious the unwilling
testimony of this estimable LADY, in
dicated Mademoiselle d'Antin-"but I ask
you what, after all, does she know? Is
1t necessary for me to tell you, a man OF
your age and a Partisan, that youth is
deceitful, that there are many times
when Mademoiselle d'Antin is not with
Mademoiselle Celia?"
"Ahl" said Monsieur Rameau and be
came thoughtful.
mo, Monsieur, jealousy is not a pretty
thing, also it makes a man illogical. And
as you have said, Monsieur, suppose this
thing gets out? No, and nc again. Per-

safe place for them, was Norton, while
sitting on a lounge to the left behind q

one of the three who was calm out
wardly, but her heightened color and the
size Of her eyes showed some sort of In
ner excitement.
She held out her hand and drew me
down on the sofa beside her. In panto-
mime she asked me how many Jumps OF
sugar I took. Monsieur Rameau and
Norton barely noticed my entrance.

Rameau.
Celia handed me a cup of tea and per-
mitted herself to show petulance. III

come at another time" she added sharply
in French. Monsieur Liggett doesn't
want to hear it."
"oh, yes l do" 1 contradicted her.
What is it?"

Norton suddenly took q fist out of a
pocket. II can't stand 1t a minute long

really sick man. He didn't want to see
Celia, he was hiding from her, but none
the less took her out to him.

the third inset-still the wrists have
not broken the club upward. The
club is dragging against the wrists
and hands just slightly. The club
here is about to go over the top and
dip.
In the final view OF the back
swing, where the club is shown at the
top, you see how the club, going over
the top. has dipped and taken up the
slack" in the wrists. This is the point
of the back swing that fools many
players because they lose the club
head between the place where it goes
over the top and the point where Its
upward swing is arrested Take a
little time here, and feel the clubhead
draw up the slack in the wrists.
Because the wrists have been made
to drag and delay their action while
the club was taken back, they will
have the maximum of power in the
forward swing. These wrists will
snap into it" just as the clubhead
gets near the ball.

Office in his day.
Nowadays Madison Square Garden
is reaping the benefit of this condition.
The Garden has clientele for its
boxing shows no matter who fights
there. Naturally sometimes there will
be a falling off in attendance such as
happened at the welterweight carnival
last Tuesday night. This was not be-
cause of the attraction, however, but
many other things contributed to
make it an off-night. In the first
place it was not the Gardens regular
night for boxing. In the next place
the Lenten season was in full swing,
and in the third place the fight fan
of today is exceptionally well educated
as to money values and he will not
patronize a show which he thinks Il
priced too high. Today is indeed the
golden age of boxing.
