Stock Market Turns Bulish After
 Early Losses of to } Points and
 Helps Chalk Up New Highs Today
Steel Mill Figures Blamed for Opening Decline - Call Money Reduction Helps to Inspire Specu. lation - Case Again a Feature.
-

New York. April Lp)--The stock market turned strong today after an early period of irrcgularity. Early declines of 1 to points in rath- CT long list of issues were cut down or converted into gains, and num- Der of stocks marked up 1 to 10 points in the broad buying move ment which developed in the early afternoon. Trading showed q tend ency to turn dull on the declines and to increase on the rallies.
 Steel Figures Blamed Early selling was inspired largely by the reported falling off in steel mill operations. Bear traders tried to capitalize this development by a series of attacks against the steel shares and specialties, but they fail- ed to dislodge most long stock. l Meanwhile. pool operators brought l forward new leaders and apparently succeeded in attracting an outside | following.
 A reduction from to 5la per cent in the call money rate helped to stimulate bullish operations. The | recent decline in commercial boc- rowings disclosed in the weekly Federal Reserve Bank statement in contrast to the usual seasonal iIl- crease at this time of the year was stressed by some observers as an unfavorable factor. Bradstreet's reported that the total value of building permits in 193 cities in March was s149,7S1,49l, as contrast | cd with s104,c05,106 in February and s361o06,o72 in March of last year.
 Iron Age stated that with ten- denccs mixed and in many instances neutralizing ono another, the iron and steel market lacks definite trend. Operations of the U. s. Steel corporation are reported to have declined from Sl to 77 per cent of capacity and for the country at large from 7S to 76 per cent. One of the other weekly trade journals, how ever, reports an increase in opera tions.
 Case Scars Again
 J. l. Case was again a spectacu- lar feature in today's market. soar ing 10 points to q new high at 800, which contrasts with the years low of 192 If. Eastman Kodak ran up s points and Worthington Pump > General Electric, Public Service ot New Jersey, Beatrice Creamery Shubert Theatcrs, United Carbon and Zenith Radio advanced 4 points or more to new 1930 high prices
 U. s. Steel common, after selling down 1 Is points to 193 3-4, ral lied 10 above 196. Bethlehem Stee and Ludlum also were heavy in thu carly trading. New York traction stocks turned heavy on the an nounccmcnt that Mayor Walker wa opposed to the elimination of tn five cent fare provision in tho tran sit bill. United Air Coast and To: also were targets of selling pres sure ill the early trading. Universa Pipe was marked up to new higl in response to the announcement that 8. group of stock eNchans houses had acquired control iron the Whelan interests.
 Among the many other issues t reach new highs were United Ga Improvement, Corn Products, Skel ly Oil, Penick and Ford, Sparks Wilmington, Raybestos. General Mo tors, Yellow Truck, Loews and Gen eral Gas and Electric "A

tt author chronicles the thirty
eighth murder, he launches into the
analysis of lives of the twelve men

Most murder tales are solved from

we have an entirely different point OF

For thousands of years, the Chi

that "it stands more neglect that any

to thrive in dooryards in which the

jury of twelve good and true citizens
cannot perform their plain and OBJ
vious legal" duty. 1t is an amazingly
real dilemma. The very simplicity
of the climax befudd4es the reader
an6 challenges knowledge of indie
pendent modernistic ideas to fully
understand its immoral significance.
The book provides an excellent in
sight into how verdicts are arrived
at by supposedly good and true"
men. Jurors are human. and are
really less true and good than the
judicial system would have the day
men believe. It can always be relied
upon that the verdicts of iurieS, the
judgments of courts as well as the
conduct of the parties are ali direct
ly affected by the background and
environment of the persons them
selves. Jury service and long. black
judicial robes do not transform men
into saints whose edlcts are lpSo
facto infallibly Just.
The book is startlingly unusual
an its entertainment is bolstered by
&c ID hard life. To read it is to live, to
see, anG to understand, real facts.
The penetrating searching and frank
STYLE of the author alone is worth

By The Booker

q" IRTEEN MEN," by Tiffany Thayer.
Published by Claude Kendall, New York
City. gel PIP. Price $3.50.
BY far the most original book in
the last decade is, at best, an made
ouate description of Tiffany Thayer's
racy and CORY novel. The very first
line of the story begins, This is the
damndest book you ever read" The
rest of the book easily proves this line
to be correct.
Very coolly within the first five or
81 pages, the author moves the
reader breathlessly through 8 or 10
murders as though the reader himself
were a pawn, an inanimate chessman.
The newspapers throughout the ma
ton headline the strange and ap-
parently well planned murders OF a
host of legally innocent people: All
OF the victims are found with bullet
holes in the middle of their fore
heads. Thirty-eight human beings
are killed before the story is well
under way.

produces a fruit that can be made
into excellent CONNECTIONS.
This rounded fruit is prepared by
scoring or puncturing and cooking
it in a syrup. The scoring is done
either with knives or punches. This
is in order to permit the syrup TO
seep in. The fruit can be handled
thus either fresh or dried. The fresh
fruit has milder taste but the peo-
pie of the Orient are not particular,
eating it in either form as convenient.
When dried, the jul jubes keep well.
Uncle Sam says of this fruit, that
the American people will come to
appreciate it when they have been
told about it. "The immediate future
of the ju jube will be useful spare
