ADVANCE IN CURB
ISSUES CONTINUES
Utilities, Aviation and Other
Groups Share in Strong
Upturn.
BY HARRY III. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 30---Featured by
rapid advances in the utility. aviation
and certain of the high-priced miscel-
laneous issues, the upward movement
went considerably further on the Curb
Exchange today despite the extremely
tight credit situation.
There was urgent short covering and
some indication Of outside participation.
Only relatively few issues displayed a
reactionary trend.
Among the outstanding strong spots
we're Electric Bond e. Share and Amer
lean & Foreign Power warrants in the
utility division: Niles Bement Pond and
Irving Air Chute in the aviation group
and Newmont. Firestone Tire, Bendix
Ford of Canada and Humble.
All the power and light issues were
strong in tone, but most of the excite
ment was furnished by Electric Bond
d Share. 1t came out at first in
15,000-share block. I'D points at 83,
and continued strong later.
The advance was undoubtedly influ
enced by the buoyancy of American &
Foreign Power on the big board, which
was communicated to the warrants. In
order to finance recent property acqui-
sitionS made for American & Foreign
Powers account. it is expected that
Electric Bond will soon undertake new
financing, possibly in the form of issu-
ance of additional common stock TO
present holders.
Heavy trading was again witnessed
in Associated Electric Industries while
Electric Investors, Northeastern Power,
United Light 81 Power A. Utilities Pow
er & Light and Associated Gas g. Elec-
trio joined the movement with greater
enthusiasm.
The oil stocks as group were higher.
but except in Humble, gains were not
particularly impressive. Except for
Ford of Canada B, the automobile group
did nothing important. Ford of Canada
non-voting A stock was listed, while
market was also maintained for the
issue on the produce exchange. After
displaying weakness, the price bounded
Up several points.

NEW YORK, April 30-A few years
ago investment advisers were using the
New Haven Railroad as a classic exam
pie of the dangers of investing all ones
money in one stock. Since then all the
New England roads have suddenly taken
turn for the better and are rapidly
regaining the investment standing they
enjoyed 20 years ago.
New England is the most fully devel-
oped industrial section of the country.
Railroads could not hope to be bene-
fitted by the growth of new business to
the same extent as Western roads could.
They have been forced to effect econ
omies in operations in order to increase
profits.
New Haven.
New York. New Haven e. Hartford
is the dominating New England rail-
road. operating 1900 miles of road in
southern New England, also several
steamship lines running between New
England and Long Island Sound, a
number of traction companies and a
motor bus subsidiary. New Haven con-
trolls New York, ontario & Western,
which runs West to connect with the
anthracite roads. Besides these inter-
ests it has two other subsidiaries, one
of which obtains much of the commu-
tation traffic in Westminster County,
N. Y. while the other travels through
New York City to connect in New Jer-
sey with the roads running West and
South.
New Ravens loss of favor as an in
vestment stock after 1918 was due
partly to improbable expansion into
traction companies. steamship lines and
connecting railroads and partly to ris-
ing operating expenses, while they were
unable to raise rates to meet the rising
costs.
Since 1921, however, New Haven has
been most successful in cutting ex-
penses. In spite of declining total rev.
enues, the net income has increased
from a deficit in 1921 to a profit of SO

BEAUTY CHATS
Essential Cosmetics.

You don't need a great many kinds
of cosmetics for beauty treatments, but
there are certain essential things which
you must have. A great many of them
you can make yourself, saving a great
deal of money. The most important
thing is cleansing cream. You prob
ably know my formula for this: If not,
here it is again. White wax, ounce;
spermaceti, / ounce; white mineral oil,
5 ounces; rose water, ~ ounces; borax,
80 grains; perfumed oil, is drops. You
make this by melting the wakes in the
oil, heating them very slowly until they
are just blended. Meantime you heat
the rose water luke warm and add the
two together, stirring until they begin
to CONCEAL, then pour the mixture of
into jars. If your skin is very dry, or
if you are more than 80 and afraid Of
wrinkles, make up this formula the
same way, substituting high-grade olive
oil or good quality almond oil, since
both are nourishing.
You will also need hair tonic, which
you can make up for yourself. The for
mula is: Precipitated sulphur, 80 grains;
carbon detergent, 80 drops; castor oil,
10 drops; alcohol COS per cent?, 4
ounces; tincture cantharides, drains;
cologne, drains; rose water, to make
8 ounces If your druggist finds the
detergent hard to get, he can substitute

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When the baby is about year of
age he begins, quite suddenly, to re-
fuse to nap twice daily. This is always
a blow to the mother who has come to
expect these relief periods and she is
dubious as to her own conduct. She
finds If she forces the baby to go to
sleep in the afternoon that he takes
an hour or so to drop off and he then
sleeps most of the afternoon, waking
at 5 or Whereabouts, cross as two sticks.
BY the time he is thoroughly awak-
ened and good humored it is time to
put him to bed for the night and she
finds him stubbornly averse to this.
He rises up in bed like a Jack-in-the-
box as soon as she has tucked him in
and rattles the bed, bangs on the wall
and runs around until he drops of ex-
haustion an hour or two later. All of
this if he is that kind. of a child; If
not, he not only rattles the bed and
pounds on the wall but he makes the
next hour or two hideous by screaming
loudly and demanding to be let out.
When things have arrived at this
state a change is necessary. The baby's
whole day should be re-arranged to
conform with his development. Meal
with breakfast at 7 or 1880, lunch at
noon and dinner at or $50. This
allows for dropping the morning nap
entirely and dressing baby as soon as
he wakenS and after breakfast letting
him play and run about until IL
O'Clock. At this time he can be I'M
dressed, bathed, and put into his bath
robe; given his lunch and put to bed
directly afterward.
Baby will sleep then for hours at
least and this being the warmest and
sunniest period of the day, he can be
taken outdoors and given his daily
walk or ride in his carriage until 4.
At 4 he may have small cup of milk
and a cracker, a grateful interlude be-
tween his two meals, or If he hasn't had
his orange juice in the morning this Is
an excellent time to give it.
At he may be undressed and put in
his crib or wide bed, with mother
watching, and given his exercises in
the nude Scampering about, waving
his arms, biting his toes, wriggling and
luxuriating in his lack of clothes will
put him in a healthful mood for sleep.
He can be fed at and be in bed by
$50 o'clock.
Baby's bedtime should precede the
family dinner for various reasons. A
tired, cross baby Is poor dinner COM
panion and in the parents efforts to
keep him satisfied, he is fed spoonfuls
diet. His actions will lead father to
grow equally cross and If ably isn't
spanked mother is at least Scolded for
having such bad-tempered child With
baby in bed the meal can be a peaceful,
enjoyable affair, one which any mother
of an active year-old child will appre-
ciate

Strings.


Your heart and your purse hold what
is precious to you. But you can't bal
ance one against the other and say
which is the greater, for money and love
are different. There is no common de-
nominator of them.
Nevertheless, there is competition be-
tween heart and purse. and the two sets
of strings are being pulled in a great
tug of war. It's the spirit of the day
and has become very spirited since
woman entered the revolving door OF
business. IT,.
Before woman was financially indie
pendent, she was bound to look upon a
lover as one who would prove good
provider. Romeo was supposed to talk
certain amount of love, but he was
looked upon as bond salesman, also.
But now that woman is on her own
and can give what the English writer
called the 12-pound look" she doesn't
have to marry the first man who comes
along.
The purse strings which a woman
holds are hitched to heart strings. She
has capital, or something like it in the
form of wage. and isn't necessarily Itch
ing to hear some fellow say With all
my worldly goods thee endow."
"All his worldly goods" may mean a
pay envelope no fatter than hers. And
while he with his courtship is Juggling
away at her heart strings. she can take
pull at her purse strings and realize
her independence.
The fairly good provider has another
guess coming and better argument to
frame for the supreme court of girls
heart.
In the new era woman will have a
chance to consult her own heart more
than her mother did. For the job has
emancipated her heart, and the purse
strings make the heart strings tougher.
Woman's heart valves have always
been there. but they never had the
chance to work the way they do now.
Cupid is driving her chariot with two
sets of strings instead of one. and if
he doesn't land her in the court of love,
he's one poor driver.
