BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Feb. "a GN.S)
As was expected, the reports of
last weeks sky,rocketing market
brought a flood of buying orders
to Wall Street today. and brokers
struggled in the first hour to keep
abreast of their market.
Even the new ticker system
found it impossible to keep pace
with the demand of the traders,
and for the first time since in
stallatiOn the stOck.tape printers
fell behind eight minutes in the
first half. f.hour.
Stock sales in that period
totalled approximately 100000
shares, the heaviest load for an
opener in six months.
Old Leaders Set Pace
The old leaders jumped again
into the center of the stage. Au-
burn Auto reached new high at
215, up 4H. international Nickel,
a newcomer, moved up 10 points
to 4412. Allied Chemical topped
180 for a 5-point rise.
U. S. Steel pushed beyond $50,
up about 2 points and Westing-
house was up nearly 4 points.
Stocks of the communications
companies, International Tele.
phone, American Telephone and
Western Union, advanced ! to 8
points.
Radio, An old favorite of the
last bull market, danced on the
tape in a new 3-point rise to
2512. up 9 points from the low
of last week.
The Public Utilities resumed
the advance where they left off
on Saturday. American and
Foreign Power and other fav-
orites carried their new gains l
to 3 points farther before run
ming into any great volume of
profit taking.
American Can reached a new
high on the move above 20. Cop
pers were strong in the second
hour, Anaconda racing along to
a new high at 42 and Kennecott
well above 30.
Bears Take Beating
The bears were given another
severe beating in the high'priced
specialties in which the short in
terest was cleverly trapped. J. I.
Case moved up points to above
129, and new highs of the move
were recorded for air reduction,
Texas Gulf Sulphur, and Ameri,
can Tobacco.
The grain and cotton markets
were firm, with cotton up a dol
lar a bale in active trading.
Rates on call money stiffened to
~ in the outside market, but no
change was made in the official
call rate.

FiUe-and-Ten Shops
ThriUe in Germany

Although one-price stores, mod
eled on the American 5-and-10-
cent stores, have been operating
in Germany only four years, they
have demonstrated that this
form of merchandising is well
suited to the country. In 1880
four leading firms operating such
one-price chains maintained 242
stores, with an annual turnover
of approximately $55, 10000.
During the first half of 1880 the
turnover of these stores was IS
per cent greater than in the
corresponding period of 1929, and
during the third quarter 8 per
cent above the previous years
figures.

At some future time, when

always done in the past.
Wall Street will sit back and

NEA Service Writer

CoRNMEAL pone is quite differ
~ ent from cornmeal mullins or
cornmeal bread. 1t is true that
any corn bread recipe can be baked
in muffin pans or a muffin rule
can be baked in a sheet. Corn pone
was made without eggs or leaven-
ing and is the same mixture as
the lash bread" and hoe cake. ;"
"Pone" is the irregular oval shape
the cakes took when they We're
shaped by the palm of the hand.
Corn pone is a crisp. thin cake.
They were originally baked in the
ashes of the fireplace.
Johnny Cake" was a northern
concoction and the mixture was
usually baked in the oven.
The middle crate of the oven
will be found the most satisfac-
tory place to bake corn products.
The texture of corn bread mixture
is naturally dry and crumbly and
uniform heat at top and bottom
prevents hard crust from FORM
ing at the top or bottom wherever
the most intense heat may be. A
tender crisp crust will form on
top of mullins or bread but the
bottom and edges remain rather
moist but crumbly

about 1000 inquiries for specific facts
come into the chamber by mail each
month, from all over the United
States. and frequently from foreign
countries which require individual
answers.
The secretary told OF the publicity
secured by the organization in the
past eight months, the value Of
which if computed at regular ad-
vertising rates. would run into many
thousands of dollars monthly.
There was displayed a huge board
showing some of the kinds of mag
azine publicity which the chamber
is able TO obtain regularly. Whole
pages In the rotogravure sections Of
the coast Sunday papers. railway
and motor coach folders whose cir
culation is 10000 copies. trade pa
pers. travel magazines. all contain
ing photographs and stories sup
rlied by the local chamber, were
exhibited TO the KiwanianS.
The present campaign. initiated by
the chamber of commerce to in
crease the use Of Imperial Valleys
dairy products, was explained.
The speaker concluded with plea
to Kiwan.ans end citizens for a
greater manifestation Of civic con-
sciousness ard pride ana interest in
the welfare of FL Centre.

gaging musicians and in other ways
carrying on the work OF the organi-
zation.

sponsors, are permitted to reserve
as many seats as they wish for each
concert and all remaining seats are
thrown open 10 the public. Those
