am and met success in thoatriCals.
 Certain songs, which. while they did not last in public favor as long as some others, nevertheless were sufficiently popular to finger q while, were introduced in New Brit ain under circumstances which ul- doubtedly constituted the reason they were not forgotten sooner. "BIondy" was such d song. It had q catchy air and was light enough to be easily committed to memory, still the feature that kept 1t on every ones tongue for months and longer vas Joe BoskoWsli's stunt at the Palace thcatcr, then known as keeney'S.
 Joe was employed at the theatcr and it was his job to perch himself in box, answering the stage sing CT who "fcd' him the lines of the song. Joe had a sweet voice. strong enough to fill the thcater, yet mclodious and pleasing, and at every performance while "Blondy' was featured, the stunt drew large audiences.

 The average cost or the s boats was around $1,150.U0O apiece. but 1hc six new Y boats have been cost ing mp to nearly 7,OQ0,00O spent on the N-4, which was designed for mino laying. Ihe average sub marine takes about Sl75,00O a year 10 keep in commission. although the Y boats represent an annual cost of more than $250.G00.

CURB FLUCTUATES; fOkkER IS STRONG
Other Issues Move IrrtSuarly-
 Trend Slightly Upward

New York, May 1T R-The curb market f1uctuated in an uncertain manner today. A few issues rallied from the low levels reached yester. day, but fears of renewed stringency in the money market prevented traders from following up the ad- vances. Call money renewed at ! per cent, but there was a scant sur plus of funds available at that fg- ure, and it rose to per cent by early afternoon.
 Fokker was an outstanding strong spot. selling up more than { points. Much of the buying was said to come from the Pacific coast and was promoted by unconfirmed rumors that the company may be taken over by powerful automobile inter. ests. Other aviation issues were ir. regular.
 Utilities rallied rather brisk!y for a time. but then turned dull and lost some of their gains.
 Oils pointed upward for | time, Gulf making a gain of about 3 points and Indiana and Humble making small gains.

 Girl, Sought by Police

New Haven, May II UP) = A warrant charging Kidnapping was sworn out today against Mrs. Helen Carr of New York. former Follies girl and wife of Alexander Carr, stage and screen comedian.
 Mrs. Carr's third attempt to kid nap her son. Paul Gugger, jr.. s, has been successful. the woman's divorced husband, Gugger, ST. de- clared today. The wealthy New Ha- ven coal mine executive said he was "getting tired of it" and intended to prosecute his former wife.

 Paul was given into his fathers custody seven years ago when Gug- ger was divorced from his wife in Chicago. Gugger married Mrs. Carr about 10 years ago when she was Helen Chressman. Follies beauty. She has had two husbands since her divorce, Gugger said, marrying and divorcing a musician before being married to Carr.

MORNING IN STOCK MARKET
Continued Rumols Offset Sporad.
 ic Rilhs- Gall Honsy Rises

New York, May 14 R - Erratic price movements characterized to- days stock market which was still under the influence of rumors of adverse credit developments. The market opened irregular. turned heavy when several of the copper, motor and steel shares broke through yesterdays low levels. ral- lied under t he leadership of General Electric around midday and then turned heavy again in response to . stiffening in call money rates.
 Call money renewed at [ per cent but only moderate supply of funds was available and the rate was rais- ed to 8 around the end of the third hour. This was attributed to tn. semi-weekly readjustment of re- serves and the approach of the mid- month settlements. Federal reserve officials hold out little hope of any marked relaxation in money rates this summer. unless there is a mark ed reduction in quoted securities values.
 While most of yesterdays wild rumors bearing on the credit situa- tion proved sroundless. fears were still entertained today that either the Boston or New York Federal Reserve banks would increase the rediscount rate this week. The un- usually heavy financing of the past fortnight is expected to be reflected In a substantial increase in brokers loans on Thursday although this may be modified if the liquidation which has been under way since last Saturday is coAtinued through to- morrow.

New York, May II R1The. semi speculative stock privilege bonds listed on the exchange continued on the tobosgan with stocks today. In the middle fthe forenoon weakness of the convertibles was pronounced but efforts to halt the selling met with partial success around mid day.
 The general investment list inclin- ed irregularly lower. more as re- suit of the apathy of buying by in- vestors than from any liquidation such az was under way in the stock feature group. Investors were not disposed to buy the fixed income securities with time money still com manding g per cent and the credit situation showing no signs of easing fundamentally.
 Further weakess also was appar. ent in the Cuban sugar issues and New York fractions. Several firm spots stood out in the foreign list particularly French government loans. United States government ob. legations were irregularly higher.

Father Will Not Appeal
 To Court of Errors

Attorney Thomas r. McDonough, counsel for John Prestach, said to- day that the contemplated appeal to the supreme court of errors will not be taken from the decision of Judge Isaac Wolfe in superior court. Pres tach was ordered to post bond to guarantee support of his infant child, and last week his bondsman surrendered him and he was taken to Hartford county jail.
 The percentage of the child was denied in police court and superior court by Prestach, and dates were offered by his counsel in an effort to satisfy Judge Wolfe that it was impossible for Prestach to have been the father of the child. The child's mother. however. swore in both courts that Prestach was the father. prestach's contention was that he married her out of pity when she acquainted him with her condition.

ATLANTIC FLIGHT
 MADE DECACDE AGO
NC-4 BazM lndber6h's Trail
 But Stopped at Azores

Washington, May IA R-The tenth anniversary of the first trans- atlantic flight, achieved by the NC-4 in May, 1919. will pass into aviation history without any spectacular dem- onstration from an air-minded world to mark it.
 Aviation historians, however, rec ognize it as one of the outstanding triumphs of aeronautics. surpassing 1 in importance many other flights l which received more general public recognition.
 No official observance of the his tory making venture is planned by the navy or by the aviators, now scattered, who made the flight. The hull Of the first successful transatlantic plane rests in remote corner of the Smithsonian institution. | The wings Of the great ship are stored away in an obscure section of the naval aircraft factory at Phila- delphia.
 Attempts to obtain suitable mu- scum building in which the famous, but now almost forgotten plane might spread her wings in full glory, failed years ago.
 The ship. which carried six men in safety from New York to Ply mouth. England, by way of the Azores. on one of the best planned flights in history, awaits better day in which to claim her just reward.
 Her gallant crew and the men who designed and built her continue to work out the problems of naval aviation, except for one or two who have dropped from the ranks.
 Comm. Albert c. Read. command 1 ing officer of the NC-4-the only one of the three planes which com pleted the transatlantic fight-has l been named executive officer of the aircraft carrier Saratoga" the giant floating nest for the navys planes at sea.
 Comm. John H. Towers, who com gator of the NC-3. which was forced cut of the race at the Azores, be- comes assistant chief of the bureau of aeronautics through a recent ap- | pointment.
 Capt. H. c. Richardson. credited with the design of the NC planes huls and pilot of the NC-3, leaves the navy this month to enter civil aviation as all expert designer. His ideas dominated the design of a long llne of navy flying boats which rec ognize no superior.
 Lieut. Walter K. Hinton. who with Lieut.. Elmer F. Stone. piloted the successful NC-4, is head of an avia- ton correspondence school in Wash at the Wilmington, N. C., coast guard station.
 Ensign Herbert C. Rodd, the radio operator who kept in communication with other planes in the trio and with ships at sea during the flight, is in the navy's bureau of engineer ing in Washington. Lieut.. J. G. Breese. the pilot engineer. left the Eayy to become head of Chicago engineering corporation, while his assistant. E. $. Rhoads, chief ma chinist's mate. is stationed at the naval air station in Pensacola. Fla.
 The three NC planes, built not for 8 conscious attempt to be first to span the Atlantic but as an answer to the world war submarine menace. are bigger than any planes now dy- ing in the United States.
 They had wing span of 19S feet, demonstrated their ability to carry Fl men on 6 single fiight-still a record-and carried six men on their historic flight to Europe. No plane since the NC-4 has carried six men on a transatlanti flight.
