CURB ISSUES MOVE
IN NARROW RANGE
Only Fractional Changes Are
Noted in Dull Short
Session.

NEW YORK, September 20.-Alter-
nately declining and rallying, today's
Curb Market session was notable for its
dullness.
Electric Bond g. Share sold on a
small fraction at the outset, then re-
gained its early loss and crossed above
its previous final level, backing and
filling thereafter. Cities Service moved
within a small fraction with dealings
on a much reduced scale.
American g. Foreign Power opened
lower, but was exceedingly dull. The
company will make public an earning
report and balance sheet Monday. This
may be the reason bears were less
inclined to sell that issue today.
Ford Motor of France recorded some
of the widest moves in the motor divi-
sion as a following has been built up
in that issue as a result of the plan to
establish factories in France. Ford
Motors, Ltd, the parent concern, again
felt the effects of a rumored Soviet
tractor cancellation. Aviation securi-
ties Jagged, as did pipe line shares.
Natural Gas shares were active.
United Gas new and MisSouri-KansaS
Pipe led the list in point Of turnover,
but some of the lower-priced issues
scored the best gains, including Du-
quesne Gas and American Natural Gas.
Canadian Marconi was the outstand-
ing issue in the radios, as 1t met sew
eral successive selling waves. Eisler,
which hit new low following omission
of its dividend, rallied somewhat. Min
ing shares were listless, with Newmont
showing some strength.
Petroleum shares sold lower Stand

By F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 20.-There
was further heavy selling Of German
bonds on the investment market today,
though the declines we're held within
narrower limits than was the case Fri
day.
In this liquidation New York was ap-
parently taking London IS the guide,
as local rlimors Of German political
troubles were mostly exploded over
night. But the fact that London seems
to fear trouble and that Paris has
shown definite perturbation over the
antics of the Hitlerites has caused
many cautious investors to sell their
German dollar bonds.
At the opening the German govern
ment 5I2s were a shade higher, but
later trading forced the price down to
a small net decline. The German rep
aration Is made a new low with
small decline. Cologne 612s fiuctuated
as much as points and we're over a
point below Fridays close in late trad
ing.
United Steel Works A SIS had the
widest drop, over points. Karstadt 6s,
which were weak on Friday, made
partial recovery
Other foreign dollar bonds had
strong tone, except Australian SIS, which
were again off fractionally, South
Americans were quiet, with price move
ments mostly upward.
Domestic bonds were dull and except
for the high-grade group were inclined
to sag slightly. Investment favorites
like Atchison general As, Baltimore g.
Ohio first Is, New York Central As,
Frisco A As, Chicago, Burlington 81
Quincy As, Standard Oil Of New Jersey
SIS and Duquesne Light As made frac-
tional gains. Convertibles were slightly
higher Second-grade rails were virtu-
ally unchanged, but there was moder-
ate selling Of industrials.

NEW YORK, September 20.-Whle
retailers have been gratifed by the in
crease in sales thus far this month, a
great deal of earnest attention is being
given the outlook for October and No

only temporary and that once early
needs are satisfied some letdown In
purchasing may develop that will react
for the time being on retailers and
manufacturers. Even should this de-
velop, however, the feeling Is that such
a situation would be followed by active
holiday buying.

Common Artistic Error
in Depicting New Moon

Artists accustomed to inserting n
new moon in a picture in the most
artistic position often transgress the
laws of nature, as the horns of the
crescent moon must always point in n
definite direction, depending primarily
on the latitude of the observer.
Iii the north temperate zone the new
moon as seen just after sunset always
points upward and to the left. In this
latitude the sun circles to the south
and, as ii approaches tie western hor-
izon descend> obliquey from left to
right. The new moon. following the
sun, takes approximately the same
course, and since the horns always
point away from the sun, they turn
upward and to the left.
In the southern part of the earth
the reverse is true, While in the trop
les the horns point almost directly up.

as ii rises in the morning is the re-
verse of that of the new moon as

Washington and Lincoln, more monuments and
markers have been erected to his memory than
any other President. Fascinating as is the story
OF Jacksons career, story which is familiar to
most Americans, equally interesting is the story
OF some of these memorials Outstanding among
them is the famous rocking horse" statue in La

that this memorial to man whose life was tur-

the first equestrian statue in the United States is
the work of Clark Mills, a New Yorker born in

worked in plaster and cement mill While doing
