for a series against the Boston
Braves.
Meanwhile the Giants, trailing
along a bad third in the standing,
pounded out a Z to l victory over Gin
cinnati.
The American League went through
a day Of almost complete inaction as
most of the teams were on the way to
new scenes of activity. The st. Louis
Browns and Chicago White Sox
staged the only battle of the day In
the younger league and it vas not
much in the way Of a scrap after the
first few innings. the Browns coast

THOUGHT URGED
BY FORBES IN
BUSINESS
By B. d. FORBES

o YoU set aside, one evening
- week Tor concentrated
thought on how you may
further develop your businegg7
One man, who started with
nothing and who has built up
successful manufacturing busi.
ness, has found from experience
that this plan pays rich dividends.
He gives these three suggestions
for developing new markets:
/. BY more concentrated thought.
2. Through faith. work AMI

!. Through quality and proper
packaging.
Learned Lesson As Boy
The following lesson on the
value OF thinking sank deep into
his mind when boy and has
been guidepost in his business
career:
There were about dozen Of
US boys who had a fine coast
ing place on a nearby hill, and
heavy. well-constructed bob-sleds.
Every day after school we made
a bee-line for our sliding place.
''One day when we arrived
with the usual enthusiasm and
of the hill had hauled several
loads Of ashes and sprinkled
them over the slide. The scene
that occurred will never be for
gotten.
There was much loud talk
ing, swearing. crying. and all
kinds of threats: but / noticed
that three boys did not join
the huIlabaIoo. They calmly
looked the situation over and
began to do some thinking. One
suggested that there was another
hill close by and that with just
a little effort we could have
another sliding place equally as
good or better. Another suE,
gested that a nearby woodshed
contained some old shingles and
perhaps some shovels that we
could use in scraping off the
ashes.
"One OF the boys took command.
organized the group, every boy
took so much space and began to
scrape the ashes off the slide,
within an hour and half or two
hours we were again enjoying the
sport immensely. Every morn
ing, when you arrive at your
desk. you discover that during
the night someone dumped a load
of ashes on your beautiful slide.
Think at Home

NEW FORK, May 2S lI.N.SJ.--
The wave of selling which carried
all prices downward near the close
of Mondays session appeared to have
spent its force, and many OF the
speculative leaders won back a por-
ton of their lost ground In the early
trading today. Special support was
in evidence in some parts of the list
when blocks of 5000 to 25,OO0
shares OF weII.known stocks were
taken over at no change from the
previous closing prices. As soon as
this 0verhanging stock was re-
moved, prices rallied feebly.
The Reserve Boards victory over
the stock market" was the absorbing
topic in Wall Street. which rAsents
more than anything the failure OF
the banking beads to make clear
their position on money market
matters.
1t will be impossible to find out
until Friday whether the rediscount
rates are to be raised this week,
though the brokers' loans report is
due tomorrow after the close Of the
market.
The pools and professionals came
to the rescue of a few of their
favorites, but the market as a
whole made little progress in the
first hour. u. s. Steel sold up
