STOCKS CONTINUE ! IN THEIR ADVANCE
Early Gains in Industils From
 8 to 12 Points

New York, Jan. 27 R1The re. covery in stock prices continued with increased vigor today as pools re- stunned operations in a wide assort. ment of industrials and specialties Early gains in many instances ran from to nearly 12 points with more than a score issues lifted to new high levels since 1926. or longer. Trading showed a substantial in- crease in volume.
 New York Federal Reserve bank rediscount rate aliayed. at least for another week. and the increase in brokers loans relatively insignifi- cant. speculators for the advance re- sumed their operations with confi- ;, dence. The money market. how ever. showed a slightly frmer un- , dertone. Call money renewed un- changed at per cent but banks called about $30.000,000 in loans, presumably for out Of town account. Time money and commercial paper 1 were slightly higher.
 Montana Power was again the individual feature. soaring 11h points to 1451s., A. M. Byers, Hud- son Motors. Bon AmL Vanadium Steel. Savage Arms, Houston Oil and a few others all moved up to 2 points. most of them to record high levels.

 Except for the establishment of new high records by illinois Central common and preferred and Texas & Pacific. the rails were quiet and featurcless.

TWO CHILDREN DIE IN INTENSE COLD
Mother, Herself Badly Frozen,
 Tdk of Tragedy

Malone, N. r.. Jan. s7 (UP)- Mrs. Gilbert Dunn told from . hos. pital bed today how she watched two of her children freeze to death while marooned all night in an open sleigh.
 The mother and one surviving daughter. Evelyn. g, were in Alice Hyde hospital with their legs frozen while doctors debated whether am. putation would be necessary to save their lives,
 The other child. Gilbert, i've years old, was only frost bitten and had little realization of the tragedy. He was held all night close to the other four. protected by their bodies. and the lions share of a thin blanket which was all they had to cover the five of them. 4 raging blizzard soon buried them in a huge snow- drift,
 When Gilbert Dunn, father of the family, came upon the sleigh in the open fields yesterday. after a long search. he found 1t buried deep in snow with only the heads of the horses and the upper part of the bodies of the mother and children showing. The horses were alive.
 The elder girls, Ina, II. and Lil- lian. II. were dead. clasped in the arms of their unconscious mother.
 The story the mother told today was one of tragic struggle against the elements. The horses wandered off the road close to q farmhouse and she tried to reach 1t. But with help so close at hand. blindinG curtain of snow descended and she lost sight of it. Fearful of wander ing off entirely. she barely made her way back to the sleigh. They were IT hours in the sleigh.
 When the horses refused to go further. I covered tho poor children with the only blanket we had and started for help. But the drifts were high and my feet were badly frozen. I barely managed to get back to the sleigh.
 ''As night came on, the storm seemed to get worse. and we hud- died together to keep warm. but the only blanket couldn't cover us alt.
 Lillian and Ina begged that the blanket be used to keep Gilbet, jr.. and Evelyn warm while they would snuggle as close as they could to me.
 During the night, I could sec that Lillian and Ina were becoming unconscious. They seemed to know they were dying They put their arms around me and kissed me. They tried to say something but couldn't understand them. I was becoming frozen myself.
 And just about daybreak every thing seemed black and must have passed out too"
