CURB AGGRESSIVE
FOR RISE IN PRICES
No Attempt at Cut-DoWn
Even at Prevailing Higher
Quotations.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.


Special Dispatcn TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 13.-Opera-
tions for the rise were carried on ag.
gressively on the Curb Exchange to-
day. Even at the high prices no at
tempt was made to offer prices down.
One Of the outstanding points OF
strength was Johns-Manville. Since
reorganization of the company earn.
ings have improved substantially and
there was every reason to believe that
the shares would not long remain in
the category of SO dividend payers.
Much of the buying was said to be for
the account Of powerful banking in
terests associated with the company.
Around los the price compared with
the Monday final of 101H.
Pillsbury Mills new was another
strong spot, responding to the highly
favorable report of its subsidiary for
the year ended June 30.
Other strong specialties were Gobel
common and Federated Metals, at new
tops. and Brillo Manufacturing.
The wide fluctuations in Metropol.
itan Five to. Fifty-Cent Stores attract
ed considerable attention. The price
left off Monday at 10, where 1t was up
more than 2 points. 1t opened today
at '241a, then sold at 1914 and subse-
quently rallied to 20. Evidently orders
in the market were limited and left
the stock vulnerable to operations on
both sides.
Empire Gas & Fuel preferred es-
tablished new top on heavy turn
over. Northern Ohio Power came to
the front among the low-priced util-
tiles, and the demand for Electric
Power & Light issues continued un-
abated.
The oils fiuctuated erratically over
narrow range. Because of the con-
fiicting developments In the trade
news, including cut in Pennsylvania
crude oil and decrease in domestic
output, the disposition was to do little
on either side of the oil share market.

best, according to the bureau of home
economics. Strip the peel from the
fruit in even sections, including just
as much of the white part as you can.
Cut the peel into strips about a
fourth or a half inch wide. Weigh
it and allow two quarts of cold water
fer each ten ounces. Parboil the peel
in this amount of water, to make it
tender. Discard the water after each
cooking. Handle the strips very
gently at the last or you will break
them.
The next step in the process con-
sists of boiling the peel in a sirup
until it is practically all absorbed.
If you have ten ounces Of peel, select
a saucepan about eight inches in di-
ameter, and put into it two cupfuls
or fourteen ounces of graduated
sugar, 1 1-3 cupfuls of water, and one
half teaspoonful of salt. Bring this
to a boil, and when the sugar is dis
solved lay the strips parallel to each
other in the saucepan, so they can be
turned easily. Boil them rapidly for
twenty minutes, then reduce the heat.
Toward the end of the cooking the
strips must be carefully turned from
time to time, so that the strip pene-
trates each piece equally. Cook until
the strip is all absorbed, from forty
to sixty minutes or longer. Watch
the pan constantly to prevent scorch-
ing.
Lift the strips out on waxed paper
and cool. Roll in granulated sugar
until there is coating of distinct
crystals, but not a heavy crust. Dry
out for a few hours, then wrap In
waxed paper and store in tightly
covered tin or glass containers. IL
you leave the peel in paper boxes 1t
tends to become hard and crusty in
winter and sticky I'm summer. If prop
erly stored in a moderately cool place
it should keep in good condition two
or three weeks.

1t had been cold that day. and Alice
had come indoors early in the after

She had had some lessons to learn
and the fire in the stove seemed SO
lovely and warm.
When she went to bed that night
she saw all the wonderful paintings
made on her window by the Icicle
artists.
Such beautiful designs and pictures.
She could make out, too, just where
there was q castle.
1t did seem very fine to have a
castle on her very own window!
Not much after this she was in bed
with the big red comfortable tucked
around her shoulders and under her
chin.
She was as warm as could be.
She could hear the cracking noise
the snow and ice made outside.
1t was very still night, but very
cold. Every sound could be heard so
clearly.
The cracking noise seemed to be
louder and louder after little while
and the creaking sounds she had
heard in the hard snow seemed to
come more often.
"Hello, Alice" said a voice. She
lifted the red comfortable down
little, and half sat up in bed.
"Hello," said Alice, politely.

Reported Finding of
Indian Rock Carving

What is described as the largest
specimen of petroglyphs, or Indian
rock carvings, in Canada, has just
been reported to the archaeological
office of the Canadian National mu-
scum at Ottawa. This carving is said
to be go feet long and located near
Yale, British Columbia.
According to the reports, 1t is carved
on a vertical face of reddish rock
sheltered by an overwhelming ledge.
It is about half mile south of the
eastern end of the Alexander bridge
on the Caribou highway and near
the Canadian National railway. A
trout fishing trail from which. it can
probably be seen runs up in its direc-
ton.
Previously, the largest known rock
carving was located on the west side
of seventy-foot canyon about one
mile south of Mackenzie highway, in
the Norway of Canada" near Bella
Coda, British Columbia. If the $50
foot carving is verified efforts will
probably be made to have the region
set aside as a national monument
