<D|V|DED ON CURB
Market Turns Irregular as
Year End Factors In
fluence Trading.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3o.-Opening
briskly but irregularly, the curb today
continued that trend as trading pro-
greSSed and volume increased.
A combination of market factors,
such as tax selling, resumption Of Lon.
don trading and specific news develop
mentS had varying degrees of influence
on quotations.
The biggest opening transaction was
10000 shares of Electric Bond & Share
at 1885, up q. The greatest number
OF large lots in the forenoon was regis
warrants, with several lots of more than
5000 warrants, one of $4,000 and one
OF 2l,0O0. This selling represented the
registering Of losses for tax purposes.
Tax selling was apparent also in North
American Aviation, which fell to q
record low price, in Blue Ridge COM
mon, johnson Motor, Gables and
Wireless B, Goldman Sachs and dozens
of other issues which had sold at
much higher levels earlier this year.
A bankruptcy petition nled by three
creditors against StutZ Motor Car Co.
Of America in Indianapolis today sent
the common shares down from 31k to q
low Of is within two hours. Early in
the year Stutz sold at "a. Last De-
cember the company offered its stock
holders the right to subscribe to new
stock at $26 share and even as late
as october the company'S sales were
reported increasing. During the famous
Allan Ryan corner in 1920. StutZ sold
on the New York Stock Exchange Is
high as $724 share. the low that same
year being $40.
United Gas Co. offered to Houston
Gulf Gas minority stockholders the
right TO exchange two Of their shares
for one United Gas common. With
United Gas, which holds more than
81 per cent Of its Subsidiary'S common,
selling at 1885 and Houston Gulf bid
around M, traders saw an opportunity
in the latter and promptly went after it.
Houston Gulf opened up 2h at 9l2 and
soon hit 10A.
A string Of Glen Alden Coal regis
tered jump Of points in that stock.
Fajardo Sugar, which recently reported
. deficit, hit a new low record and q
similar feat was performed by Bick-
ford's. Croker Wheeler came out at
ala, up q, and then. reacted. Deere
q Co. jumped IA points and Tubize
moved within q range of points in the
first few hours.

All branches Of business could benedt

During the 10 or more years of our

while no one was looking.
1t Is time for the Boastful Bows and
the Braggadocia Brothers and the
smart and Fox families to retire to de-
served obScurity.
It is high time to stop taking our
serves seriously and begin to take buSi-
ness seriously.
Advertising actually has q mission.
That mission has to do with people,
It's object Is to inspire people with
CVlnuS1lce-AS preliminary to selling
them something with which they viii
be pleased.
To do this requires a great deal more
than o masters degree In English.
1t implies an understanding of the
human animal, the social fabric, the
business structure Of the Nation and
the world, and--super-ad to all Of
these wizardry of words and q gift

Advertising is the word and the
mouth, the literature and the voice of
business-and business is the one great
public heroism which Is left to most of
US in this workaday world.
1t behooveS business for 1890 to look

Business is only going to be good next
year for those who make 1t good.
Sales will not be poured out Of .
cornucopia into the laps Of the I'M
deserving.
They will be squeezed out Of . tough

Leaning on Washington, D. C.-not
necessarily the Washington of this mo-
ment, but any Washington at any time
is like leaning on q rubber cane.
OF all the great aids given to business
by Government, the greatest in all prob
ability are the tariff and o sound
money system.
But the surest way for any business
to get the greatest good even out of
these twin aids Is to proceed as though
they did not exist-aS though the bust
ness did not derive q dollars worth of
benefit from them-as though its I'LL
innate net profit depended entirely upon
individual initiative and intelligent adj
vertising.
Paternalism or bureaucratic aid Is the
rubber cane of business.
Sane, sensible advertising Is its strong
right arm.
There is nothing vitality wrong with
business, but quite q good deal that is
wrong with its management.
For instance, If the automobile BUSH
ness became top-heavy in recent times,
1t was partly due to the fact that It was
overweighted with swollen heads and
swollen fortunes.
AL of the motor companies had and
have huge markets, but what they
wanted was not huge market but Q
hog market.
Perhaps the worst feature of the re-
cent upset is the fact that 1t gives guilty
arrangements and feeble executives one
more opportunity to enter an alibi.

One of the commoncst causes is to
make a child or baby the absolute
center of family devotion and then
suddenly to expect him, without due
preparation. to share that attention
with another.
When New Baby Comes
Naturally a new baby in the family
is the commonest cause Of Jealousy.
It isn't fair to a child Of three or
four suddenly to spring such . sur
prise on him. and then in the weeks
that follow expect him to bear up
chcerfu;ly under the tragedy Of see
ing his mother devote all her time to
the usurper.

and careful handling.

might have been 4 tragedy can Be
turned into a very happy thing for
him-indeed for both children. For

or sister is going to have none too
easy a time Of It. either.
It Is a fallacy to think that broth
ers and sisters always love each other.
We know enough about children now
to be quite certain that they don't.
Probably resentment over the new
baby is the cosnmonest cause q
trouble In later years-and time doea
