Millions
Are Lost
in Stocks
Bear Raid on Steel Causes
Another Terrific Setback;
Sales Exceed Six Millions
for Three-Hour Day.
BY ELMER c. WALTER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The stock
market took another terrific setback
today, prices tumbling down rapidly
when bear raid was started on
United States Steel.
Millions were Clipped from the al
ready impaired market values in the
raid which started after there was
some semblance of recovery coming
back to the market. Trading was
at another tremendous pitch, going
at the rate of more than 100000
shares for the three-hour day.
Sales exclusive of odd lots
amounted to 6,440,500 shares.
Tickers Far Behind
Tickers were running way behind
at the close and traders had great
difficulty attempting to find the ex-
act quotations on the floor.
The setback came to the market
after what had appeared to be a,
rally. Steel had eased down to
within an eighth of a point of its
low and then had gone to 1631a, up
points. Strength came in.
Then came the bear raid and
steel shot down. 1t set a new low
for the year at 1897. The entire
market followed.
From 1531s the premier industrial
see-Sawed back and forth in be-
wildering rapidity. 1t rose to 157.
A minute or two later tickers flashed
156. Then came 1852, 155, 154 in
intervals of a few minutes. A few
minutes before the close 1t was
at 154H.
Support Is Lacking
AS the final gong neared, the
earlier gains from lows were being
squeezed out, and support was lack
ing all around. New lows for the
year we're made in hundreds of
stocks.
Curb prices suffered with stocks
on the big board. Chicago prices
were forced down as much as 20 to
80 points, making up for lost time
in closing Armistice day. Gains in
Chicago broke abruptly and cotton
at New York made new lows for the
season, several positions getting be-
low the 17-cent level.
Much of today's pressure started
from further liquidation of poorly
margined accounts. The largest
accounts in the street were receiving
careful scrutiny and loans were be-
ing reduced as prices sank. Wealthy
traders were heaviest losers in to-
days market.

Television in Colors

During the past year engineers
of the Bell laboratories have added
color to television motion pictures.
A year ago, DR.. Hubert Ives, an
ticipated his recent discovery by
introducing a radio camera that
pictured outdoor scenes for a tele.
vision audience. The secret Of the
new invention, singularly enough
was found in the addition of COM
paratively little new mechanism to
the black and white teleVision
instrument Of a year ago. Light
sources, driving motors, scanning
disks and synchronizing systems
are alike. The same type OF ampH-
fication is employed. The only new
features are the type and arrange
meilt of the photoelectric cells at
the sending end, and. the type and
ARRANGEMENT of the neon and argon
lamps at the receiving end.
How is the miracle wrought?
First, a new kind of photo-electric
cell has been developed, using
sodium instead of potassium. This
cell is sensitive throughout the
entire visible spectrum; and in
stead of stopping in the blue
green region, ~9ntinues all the
way to the deep red. These cells
are t'eyes" designed to see things

set has yellow-green filters;
third set has greenish- blue filters.
"The receiving apparatus" says
DR.. Ives, consists Of one of the
l6-inch television disks used in
our earlier experimental work.
Behind it are the three special
lamps and a lens system which
focuses the light into small
aperture in front OF the disk. The
observer, looking into the aper-
ture, receives, through each hole
Of the disk as it passes by, light
from the three lamps--each con-
trolled by it's appropriate signal

intensities of the three images are

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
.Rv Helen ROWIand-

cloME women have almost as
y hard a time trying to keep a
golf ball out of the rough as they
do trying to keep husband out
of mischief.
A merry greeting and a cheerful
good-by are the two things surest
to hold a mans love, and hardest
for any woman to give.
The hardness with which a
mans love can live through a long
frost OF indifference is exceeded
only by the case and quickness
with which it shrivels up or evap.
crates, the moment the woman
starts a hectic pursuit.
It may be a sign that the ro-
nance has worn off when man
begins to call his wife "Old Girl"
or Mama" but it is also q sign
that his love has "set" and that 1t
won't shrink or fade any more.
It win always be mystery to a
woman why q man will daWdie
around the house all afternoon and
refuse to be budged-and then,
lust at the sound Of the dinner
gong be seized with sudden in
gpiration to clean the car, put up
the porch swing or start the hunt
for his old panama.
Marriage helps a man to save
money by giving him the chance
to stay at home and listen to the
radio with one woman, instead OF
taking a lot of women out to listen
to the jazz orchestras.
Every woman groans inwardly
when her husband makes good
guess on the stock market or the
political situation; because she
knows that it will be weeks before
the glow dies down and he gets
over boasting about his good

A girl may be engaged to a man
for q whole year and not know

shock absorbers, gets an awful
lot of jolts as she goes through
