Midday Under Leadership
of Utilities.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSU.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE stock
market shook of an early period of ir-
regularity today and moved upward
under the leadership of the public util-
tiles and a select group of steel, amuse-
ment, rubber and business appliance
shares and specialties. Gains of l to 6
points were distributed over a fairly
broad list by early afternoon but trad
ing was only moderately heavy in vol
ume.
Business news was mixed. Reports OF
a sharp increase in crude oil production
last week were accompanied by a reduc-
ton of / cent a gallon in the tank
wagon price of gasoline in New York
and New England by the Standard OIL
Co. of New York. Iron Age reported
that steel demand. after rebounding
sharply in January, Is not only holding
its own but in the aggregate has shown
further slight gain" The average
operations for the country at large
are now at 10 per cent of capacity, COM
pared with nearly n per cent q week
ago.
Call money renewed at 4 per cent
and was in liberal supply at that figure,
with indications that the rate would be
maintained.
Fox Film broke points at the open-
ing on reports of a hitch in the nego-
tiations for a Republication plan to
avert receivership proceedings, sched-
uled for hearing late this afternoon,
but had made up its loss by early after
noon. Union Pacific broke 9JS points
to 226 on selling presumably influenced
by a downward revision Of earlier earn
ings estimates.
Goodyear Rubber. in which the Eaton
interests of Cleveland recently acquired
a large interest, ran up points to a
new 1880 high at 80; Goodrich adj
yanced points and United States
Rubber 2.
United States Steel common crossed
1874 for gain OF nearly 3 points. but
again met heavy profit taking at that
level and had dif1culty in maintaining
Its gain. Gulf States extended its gain
to points and Vanadium sold points
higher.
Extreme gains of to points were
registered by Standard Gas 81 Electric,
American Water Works, American Pow
er IL Light, Colorado Fuel, WestinR-
house Electric, American Wooden pre-
ferred, International Business Machines.
Underwood Elliott Fisher and Auburn
Auto. Vulcan DEFINING issues also

think I associate potatoes In that de-
plorable state with squash The most
memorable Thanksgiving, so called, din
ner was ruined for me because our host
insisted on serving a huge mound of
squash right along with the turkey.
Squash all over the plate, no matter
where you tried to spear bit of meat
or stuffin'. And so, ever since. my life
has been embittered, for I can't think
of Thanksgiving in terms of turkey: It
spells just squash to me.
For the dumb there is no moral I'm
this. For the intelligent there should
be good lesson in child training. For
the latter class there is nothing more
to say. For the former we had better
state the precepts:
/. Never discuss food likes or dis
likes at table or in the child's pres
ence. Provide proper food in reason
able variety and as attractivelY pre-
pared and served as possible. Then let
all hands take it or leave it.
2. Never urge child to take any food
which he does not like, on the false
ground that it will be good for him"
No item of diet justifies that policy
3. If your offerings fail to appeal to
your child's appetite, that's reflection
on your intelligence, skill and tactful-
ness. Just observe and resolve to do
better-but do not scold or harass the
child about it.

By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 4, 1S24.-Mayor Samuel N
Smallwood's death has put the whole
City of Washington in mourning. The
Mayor Of the National Capital 6ied five
days ago and has recently been placed
in his last resting place, while most Of
the shops of Pennsylvania avenue were
closed out OF respect to the deceased
official of the city.
Now that two days have passed since
the funeral OF the Mayor the citizens of
washington have had time to appraiSe
his merits and his work for the city.
In announcing his death the Daily
National Intelligencer says:
He had been indisposed for several
weeks, but his disorder did not assume
threatening aspect until a few days
before 1t terminated his useful lite. The
deceased was universally esteemed as a
private citizen and justly respected as
a public one; the best bonds of proof
OF which were his repeatedly receiving
from the hands of his fellow citizens
the highest honor and most important
trust within their gift. This city in his
death loses the services of a most eff
Gent chief magistrate-to his family
the loss is irreparable"
After giving notice of the funeral
ONNNNSA - wiz odAAlC 1lCWoHdRSI S1yo
las mark of respect to the merits of
this citizen, the shops on the Avenue
were closed at o'clock yesterday for
the remainder of the day.
The body of Mayor Smallwood has
been placed in the Congressional Gene
terry, where suitable monument to his
memory will be erected.
Samual Nichols Smallwood was a
descendants of Col. James Smallwood
an immigrant to the colony of Mary
land. His wife, too-Mrs. Martha Ann
Smallwood-was a Marylander. The
deceased Mayor came to the City of
Washington in 1894. six years before
the transfer of the Federal Government
here from Philadelphia. He had super
mtendence of the laborers on the Capitol
and later became a merchant and
wharf1nger, with his wharf on the East
ern Branch between Third and Fourth
streets. He dealt chiefly in lumber.
Mr.. Smallwood was elected Mayor
of the Federal City first June 6, 1920
Among the important acts of his ad-
ministration have been local tax reform,
an act for the preservation of the
navigation of the harbor, establishment
Of the Washington Asylum and the
prescribing of conditions under which
free colored persons may reside in this
city,

Bedspreads can be Of linen or silk ap-
pliqifed on net. Or they can be of strips
of knitting or crochet used alternately
with narrow widths of linen in white or
natural linen tones. Entire spreads can
be made of crochet or knitting, but these
take double the time to fashion. All of
these styles of quilts and spreads can be
beautiful, and they would be expensive
to buy, for handwork is costly.
Wall hangings can be made of en-
broidered linen in Jacobean style. AS
the designs are large and can be worked
chiefly in outline, these take a short
time to make. Wool yarns are used for
the embroidery. CroSs-stitch pictures
and hangings can be made from pat
terms that have appeared in this depart
ment. A smart design for small sill
houette in cross-stitch to be worked
through canvas or linen can be had by
inclosing 5 cents in stamps with a re-
quest sent in an envelope directed to
Lydia LIE Baron Walker, care of this
paper. The size of the design depends
upon the size of the canvas through
which 1t is worked. When completed,
