TREND ON CURB
|SDOWNWARD

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 G.N.S0.
The curb market continued to
make spasmodic attempts to
break through the resistance
limits on the upside in another
quiet session today, but the press
of offerings just above previous
closing points proved too great
an obstacle to overcome, and once
more the trend was toward 1r-
regularly lower levels. r'
Utilities were slightly lower on
the average with American Gas
and Electric showing more than
average weakness in easing off to
48b for a loss of 13s points.
Electric Bond and Share, Niagara
Hudson Power, Middle West Utili-
ties and Associated Gas and Elec-
trio A were but fractionally lower.
Oils were conspicuouSly dull,
with the bulk of the dealings in
this section limited to Standard
of Indiana, which eaSed TO 21A
. for a decline of h. Gulf Oil, in
its only sale of the day, recorded
a drop of 11a points at so.
Curb bonds were unable to
show any decided drift in either
direction, although irregularity
was the rule.

York and grappled with the wage
problem again today.
Behind closed doors they were
discussing proposals made by the
Railway Labor Executives ASSo-
citation for a national conference
on various subjects affecting the
railroads, including wages and
working conditions.
Wage Cuts Looming
Wage cuts Of as much as 10
per cent are looming for railroad
employees and the situation may
develop into. an important ma
tional issue between union labor
and the railroads.
The most powerful railway
figures in America are on the
ground, such men as Gen. w. w.
Atterbury, president of the Penn
Sylvania railroad; Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and
Ohio; r. H. Ashton, president of
the American Railway Associa-
tion; J. j. Bernet, president of
the Chesapeake and Ohio; Fair
fax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway, and a host Of
others.
All the railroad presidents SHE'D
from a discussion of the wage
problem. They realize this ques-
ton may develop into an acute
issue with union labor should not
the problem be handled in a fair
and careful manner.
A movement for voluntary wage
cuts is being pushed by four ma
jor systems of the East, the Balti-
more and Ohio, the New York
Central, the Pennsylvania and
the Chesapeake and Ohio, whose
officials are holding discussions
with their employees in an attempt
to have them accept a wage re.
duction of 10 per cent.
Unions To Fight
Before the smoke clears away
there is quite a possibility that
the railroads will find they must
cope with union officials before
any comprehensive wage reduc-
tion is put into effect. The rail
road presidents are understood to
have but slight hope of inducing
union leaders to agree to a wage
cut without a fight.
In the event a national confer
ence between the union leaders
and the railroad officials is de-
cided upon, ito is likely the union
leaders will counteract any sug-
gestions for wage reduction with
a plea for a Six-hour day at eight
hour wages and a five-day week
and other proposals calculated to
maintain the present standard of
living.

Your Health
and Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.


OF course, if malnutrition is
accompanied by any Of the
things we listed as causes
Observation-Disclosures, dental
disease, pyelitis, chronic infec-

Often, however, no special
defect can be found and the
treatment must be along gen.

Treat Fatigue Directly
Fatigue is a prominent Symp-

directly.
Proper health habits must

A full bath more than once

Brush the teeth at least once
a day.
Drink as much milk as pos

Sleep long hours with the
windows open.
Vegetables Are Important
Eat some fresh vegetables
and fruits every day.
Drink at least four glasses
Of water every day.
Play part Of every day out
Of doors.
Correct posture is almost
never attained by children
with malnutrition. This should

cises every day.
Lastly, see that the child is
not burdened beyond its
strength. A friend of mine,
who is a nose and throat
specialist, told me Of such a
child brought to him for tonsil
removal. In questioning the
mother, he found that the
child went to the movies three
nights a week, had besides
regular school studies, a piano
lesson twice a week, a dancing

Advice to the
Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
He Just Says Hello"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l went with a boy I liked
very much for three years, but
he left me flat. The last time
he took me out he said he
would call me up some time
that week, but he never did.
We often meet on the street,
but he just says "hello" and
is as cold as ice. On the ami
versary of the day I met him,
three years ago, I told my girl
friend and she called him on
the phone and told him what
day it was, but he just asked
what he should do about it.
How can I win him back?
BUNNY.
Do you really want to win
anyone back who has treated
you as badly as this young
man? He has left you with
out any explanation, is cold
when you meet him on the
street, and all this after an
acquaintance Of three years.
If you think there could be any
excuse for a misunderstanding,
you might write him a note
and ask for an explanation.
But it looks to me as if the
friendship no longer appeals to
him, and think it would be
more sensible to try and take
an interest in someone else.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man Of "a.
Within the past year, I have
been greatly attracted to
young married woman four
years older than I. She wants
to divorce her husband and
marry me as she is having mar.
ltal troubles. She has two chill
dren and, in view of the fact
that I do not like children, it
causes me to hesitate about
making this match. She sug-
geSts we put the children in a
home and live happily. Do you
think this is right? j. A. V. H.
No, indeed, I do not think
it would be right to put the
children in a home. These
children must be young and
they need a mothers care. If
she doesn't realize that, she
is likely to ignore obligations
she would incur if she marries
you. At twenty-four, it seems
to me wiser to wait than to
marry a woman four years
older who has no very definite
ideas of her obligations as a
mother.

Dear Mrs. BeecKman:
Recently the writer has
heard considerable discussion
and would like to ask your
advice concerning the suit
ability and custom at the
present time Of sending by
mail announcements of the
birth of a child.
There seems to be among
some people an idea that an
event as intimate and per-
sonal as this Is not especially
a matter of a nature to be
broadcast. It is said that
people likely to be interested,
such as relatives and personal
friends, will doubtless be in
formed and familiar with the
fact, and not require special
cards. I would appreciate your
opinion. MRS. D. T.
I confess that I feel the
same about this form Of an
nouncement. Unless the family
is one with many relatives and
friends, who live at great dis
tances, it is true that most
people who are closely con-
cerned with this important
news know it at once. 1t
isn't, I think, so much a queS-
ton that the news is intimate
and personal" as that usually
il is unnecessary since friends
to whom the news is valuable
are already informed.
But what is much worse as
an angle of this problem, I

And then, nine times out Of
