Disorderly Decline In Market And Low
 Markers Again Hit
Scores of the Leaders Dropped From to Points
 All Made New Lows for Current Market

bear market or longer.
 Except for a brief period at mid session, when short covering resulted in some steadiness, the entire market worked rapidly low CT as each successive selling wave carried the list into new Low ground. So great was the press of selling that tickers fell several minutes behind trading on one occasion during the morning trad ing. Activity was well in excess of two million shares.
 The decline was a continuation of the selling of last week, aug mented over the Labor day shut down by the unfavorable nature of Labor day speeches made by labor and political leaders, and by the uncertainties existing in the British economic situation. In addition, the street heard further news of an adverse character from business circles generally.
 As a result, it was only natural that pool support was withdrawn. This made the market susceptible to moderate selling pressure, which gradually became more aggressive as the decline progressed. Consid- erable liquidation was uncovered.
 Weakness became pronounced first in the utility division. From there it spread to the industrial and railroad shares, causing breaks of to half a dozen points. Steel common, considered a rallying point for the bull forces, at one time touched a new low since 1921 at 80 3-S, a lossl or nearly points This break gradually caused loss of confidence and lesser important shares were dumped over board without any regard of bid prices.
 Selling in the rails was persist ent. Atchison, despite reports earnings would cover dividend re- quirements, broke 6h points. New York Central lost 5 Is; Lehigh Valley, 4 1-S and Union Pacific A These shares reached new lows for the past decade or longer.

Several years ago there was chef
at one of the New York hotels. who
had an international reputation. The
sauces he mixed were poems. The
special dishes he planned were dreams.
A big new hotel in Chicago persuad-
ed him to go there and he was the
same great success. But he had two
ambitions One was to return to New
York and the other to open place of
his own. Finally, he did both these
things. He had friends among the bet
ter known artists, advertising men,
writer's and publishers. They all
united to give him great send-off
Artists decorated his place and drew
designs for his menu cards and news
paper copy. Advertising men not only
wrote the latter, but actually managed
to have some publicity donated. There
even was an editorial or two concern
ing the chefs new venture. For the
first few days the meals he served
were beyond compare. Then they be-
gan to fall off. AS the food grew worse
customers grew fewer.
"What is the matter?" asked one
of the chefs well-wishers of another.
The latter was a mixture of cynic and
philosopher.

That is a remark l never have for

been with concerns which were will

selves, I wonder whether they realize
that they will have to use their own
butter Some of them start modestly
and build up surely, but others begin
as If they still had the same ole
financial backing. A man who can
make money for others can't always
make money for himself. There are,
of course, always the others. They

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON

Baksheesh
COME years ago, the Angora assem-
~ bly, decreed the abolition of Bak-
sheesh-that time-honored Turkish
institution christened by travelling
business men and others, very elo-
quently and Observation-Disclosures.
AS with our own law-prohibition-
1t was one thing to pass the decree.
It has been quite another to compel
it's observance. Money will talk. And
the practice of baksheesh, centuries
old, will not even get sick without
struggle.
Baksheesh as may be surmised, is
a Turkish word, derived from the
Arabic. Originally it connoted simply
q legitimate and voluntary gift.
Slowly, however, during the passage
of years, this idea Of free, legiti-
mate gift gave way to the sense of
payment regularly exacted for services
rendered or favors rendered, for in
fluence exerted by those in high places
in return for value received, for the
procurement of concessions and the
like.
This is the institution of Baksheesh
in the Near East.

mark at which to shoot.

marx at WHICH W SuOOts
Bob Kelley told me funny football
story the other day. He says that sew
eral years ago it was evident to the
Notre Dame coaches that an opposing
team was gaining through the line be-
cause one of their tackles was punch
drunk. They sent in a substitute and
all gains ceased. Something seemed
a bit out of the ordinary to the other
team and finally it took time out to
check up. One automatically In
clined player idly counted the Notre
Dame men and found they numbered
twelve. They had numbered twelve
for the better part of quarter. The
substitute had come in, but the in.
jured tackle had neglected to go out
and, reinforced, had been doing vail
ant work. It's a good story, and Mr..
Kelley sticks to 1T.
To my personal knowledge, taxicabs
are being driven in New York by
women, and by men who originally
were lawyers, preachers, aviators, car
penters, singers, actors and electri-
clans. 1 even know one former cow
boy who drives cab. / suppose that
among the thousands of drivers almost
every profession and trade is repre-
scented. 1t always has seemed to me
