WARMING HIM UP!
By Ruth Frances Heller


 Sometimes a child needs "Warm- ing up.' Suppose you have asked him to go on an errand to the drug store. He makes all kinds of excuses, says that he "docsn't want to go on an eTand to the drug store" Per haps he is timid, doesn't like CT rands, doesn't like drug stores. Or perhaps he is lame, unable to walk.
 The way to overcome this re- tiCence on the child's part is by warming him up," putting him in a mellow mood, SO that he will want to go running errands Let us say that you have sent him ont the door and that he is crying. When he gets to the curb he notices a Chrysler roadster which you have placed there when he wasn't watching He may still fret and pout a little, but urge him gently to get in and take him for a drive This is what l call warming child up"
 Sometimes, in warming child it IS a good plan 10 allow him to invite d little friend 10 go along on the drive, On the way continue to warm" the child by stopping at a candy store and buying him and his friend frosted chocolate two pounds of molasscs taffN three dozen lady fingers, half pound of assort- cd chocolates, three candy bars. a head of lettuce, two cakes of Ivory soap, and some Dutch Cleanser. Stop also at drug store and get what you want yourself. Thus the child will gradually get the idea that when you ask him to go on an erraud to the drug store you moan business.
 Little by little his original re- ticcnce will disappear. The next day vary it by having d Cadillac roadster in front of the door instead of a thrysler and take him this time on longer ride. In this subtle way you make plain the necessity for obedience. Discipling child should never he struggle; it is d matter, as l expressed fl, of warming him up" At night, if the little fellow halks at going to bed, try surprising him by pulling inc roadster out from under his pillow.

ern railroad would, if it were allow ed to proceed, be calamity for both China and Russia with nothing amenable to settlement
 which cannot be amicably settled
 through meditation. Fortunately the
 Japanese government, convinced of
 the futility of a struggle for mas
 tery in this northern province of
 China, has taken steps to offer it's
 good offices as a species of umpire. This offer will be accepted by both
 would-be belligerents if they are wise.
 The charges on both sides tend to befuddle the public elsewhere. The Chinese definitely allege that the Russians have been using officials and employees of the railroad to propagandize the territory in favor of Communistic doctrines, and that an agreement made in 1924 has been violated. The Russians as definitely declare that there are only a com paratively few railroad agents and employees along the entire line and that their efforts have been directed mainly to prevent smuggling. white slavery, opium transportation and 'wickedness generally.
 It may be that the Russians have furthered communistic principles and also prevented the other infrac- tions of morality they mention. In this case one must choose whether the communistic propaganda that several hundred Russians might spread is worse than the opium smuggling, white slavery and vice generally that they as railroad oper- ators might be in a position 10 pre- vent. Past history has shown that the Russians are eager propagan- dists and that certain Chinese are adopts at the other things charged. It is barely possible that thorough going meditation by the Japanese cnu1d Ora 5icote hotb
 The Chinese. obviously, have much more confidence in their mil- tary powers than ever before. Twelve years of almost constant fighting probably has made their armies more adept than ever has been the case in Chinese history. And Manchuria is closer to Nan king than to Moscow. Yet if the Chinese Nationalists are wise they will not foolishly invite a war with a nation such as the Soviets, which possesses large manpower and mili- tary resources. And when one finds that the quarrel is over railroad and province and among two coun- tries which already have much ter ritory, the folly of the threat be- comes an absurdity.

Most songs over the radio give us a great pain because they sound as if the accompanist or the orchestra is half a block removed from the singer. Sometimes, in cynical mood, we wonder why the broadcasters go to the trouble of furnishing accom- paniment if it is to be something that cant be distinguished from static; or why composers go 10 the trouble of writing accompaniments to their vocal broadcasting tunes.

STOCK PRICES GAIN
IN HEAVY TRADING

Yesterday.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May L. Although
there were many irregularities of price
movements. today's stock market in
dicated clearly that the buying power
that sent it ahead so vigorously earlier
in the week had not been exhausted.
Among the features in the last hour
we're Columbia Gas, up 3 points to 4
points, responding to intimations of an
offer Of rights to subscribe to additional
stock; Marmon Motors, Willys-Over-
land and Texas & Pacific, which was
the only one of the rail shares to be
at all prominent. The last named
gained 10 points on very moderate
turnover.
The market was active in the fore
noon, more so than in a week, but
volume fell off in the second half of
the day. Money, renewing at II per
cent, dropped to 10 per cent for new
loans in the afternoon.
The opening was mostly higher, with
one or two spectacular features. One
of them was provided by Murray Body
and the other by United Aircraft, which
has now come to take the place of
Radio as a fast mover" The opening
sale of Murray Corporation was $4,000

the preceding close at record high.
United Aircraft started in at lab and
then scared to 1862. point and two
points between sales in wild fashion.
1t is episodes like these that stir the
trading imagination and make the
market reminiscent of the days pre-
ceding the Federal Reserve warning"
Volume in the first hour was 726.900,
against 524,70O shares yesterday. The
tape fell II minutes behind before noon.
Other popular industrials included
Air Reduction at record high for the
present shares Union Carbide and
Carbon. also at new peak price;
United States Industrial Alcohol. which
was going along with Air Reduction
Warner Bros. Pictures and A. M. Byers.
Radio came to the front somewhat
later. but was very strong when 1t
finally became active. showing gain of
over points at 100 and bringing a
demand for Radio-Keith-O rpheum.

MARKET SHOWS GAIN
IN MONTH OF APRIL
Stock List Advances in Face Of
High Money and Other
Handicaps.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpdtCu W 4He 0tHTs
NEW YORK, May LIN some re-
spects the April stock market has been
the most significant of the past six
months. 1t has faced all kinds of oppo-
sition and has gone up in spite Of it.
Yesterday 1t was buoyant, although the
renewal rate for money was IA per cent
compared with the Is per cent max
imum renewal rate in March. Its &C
ton at the closing of the month was
typical of what has been taking place
recently.
The stock Exchange figures showed
a depreciation in market values last
month Of approximately $2,100,0 600, 600.
This would have been much larger, but
for the rally of large proportions that
occurred during the four days following
the March 26 break. When the April
changes are set down they will indicate
that fully rs per cent of last months
shrinkage in market values has been
recovered.
The average price of industrial stocks
today was over is points higher than
at the end of March. That OF rails was
about 4 points up.
Scores of stocks this month have sold
even higher than at the earlier peaks
of the market IN January and in March.
One issue conspicuous lately doubled It's
market price during April.
In March the railroads showed a
heavy depreciation in their share value.
This month nearly all of the active
members of the group have advanced.
The two leaders were New Haven, which
rose over Is points, and Pennsylvania,
about 10 points. The public utilities
were also lower in March During April
nearly all of them have enjoyed strong
markets, with American Telegraph g.
Telephone conspicuous leader. An
other weak list last month was COM
posed of the iron and steel stocks. In
contrast is the new high April record
for Bethlehem Steel and a gain of 10
points in U. S. Steel, including that
made yesterday.
