Weakness of Rails Also Noted
as Factor to Be Considered
as Market Level Increases
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Marctl 20.-Re-
gardless of the Interpretation
which one may place upon the
action of the market on Thurs.
Gay, the fact that stands out is
the penetration by the Dow-Jones
industrial averages through the
upper limits of the 178-187 trad.
ing range, which has been fol.
loved so diligently for more than
a fortnight. At the high point
of yesterdays advance the index
had reached 1892, although late
profit-taking carried it down to
1876 656, for a net gain of 2.6l
points.
Therefore If technical signs are
to carry any weight at all, on ad-
vance to the next resistance level
in the neighborhood of 1914 in the
averages might logically be ex.
rected to follow.
Utilities Action Puzzles
But, there are several develop.
ments which took place in the
course of the days activity which
do not exactly fit in with this
general scheme of prime import
ance was the further weakness
in the rail group, with such prime
investment issues as AtcniSon,
New York Central and Southern
Pacific reacting quite sharply.
Another factor deserving of at
tention, was the backwardness Of
the utility group, with such re.
cent leaders as Consolidated Gas,
and public service actually show
ing declines.
It will be remembered that in
the struggle for market dom.
nance between bull and bear fac.
ton which ranged around the
lower limits Of the trading range
some days ago, it was the in
spired leadership of the utilities
which successfully STAYED off
the threat of a severe reaction
in the entire list, as suggested by
the persistent decline in the rail
group.
Broker Loans Increase
The question at hand, is there

in the event of continued slug

The unexpected sharp increase
in brokers' loans, amounting to
$94,000,000, points to distribution
in the past week, a danger sig
nal that should not be ignored.
Standard Statistics, after
careful survey of the outlook and
possibilities of the natural gas
industry, issues a word of eau
ton to would-be investors in this

It makes mention of the fact
that over-enthusiaSm as to the

NEW YORK, March 20 Q.N.SJ.
The motor stocks and the special

In a moderate upturn of prices
on the big board.
Wednesdays closing perform

buying orders at the opening, but
when these were exhausted the
market was compelled to shift for

Radio Pushes Ahead
Radio Corporation pushed ahead

In response to reports Of new
amalgamations, consol idations
and ambitious plans for expansion
during the current year.
General Motors forged ahead to

stration in the automobile shares.
Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward
Woolworth and other "store"
stocks led new upward move
In that section Of the market.
The utility stocks were up
against a stonewall of profit-tak-

tened out the spectacular upward

United Corporation was freely Of

Rails Hold Steady
Rails held their position under

Increased appetite

Ovaltine has a high content of ap-
petite producing Vitamin B. But of
greatest importance, Ovaltine con-
tains a remarkable food element
known as "diastase. CA substance
which gives one food the power to
digest the starch content of other
foods in your stomach.) Due to
the way it is processed, Ovaltine
contains a high proportion of dia-
stase 1t ViH digest four to fue times

this digestive power which chiefly
distinguishes Ovaltine from any
other health food in the world, and
is the main reason why Ovaltine
actually stimulates appetite.

The name of this product is Oval
tine. First it is cooked in a vac

will digest when nothing else seems
to agree" And constitutes in it
self a complete food.
You mix it with milk and drink it
as a beverage. And when mixed
with milk it will break down the
curds and make the milk digest
twice as easily. (For milk alone, as
you know, turns to solid curds in
the stomach.)
Children drink twice as much milk,
when it's mixed with Ovaltine, be-
cause they like the taste.
1t also contains a property taken
from eggs, called 'lecithin," which
is a direct nerve food. A few days
use of Ovaltine usually curbs nerv-
business noticeably.

appetite. Child specialists will tell
you that usually when child refuses
to eat, it is because he hasn't fully
digested his previous meal-"pOor
eaters" usually have slow digestion.
Worthwhile Use
Ovaltine today is used in thousands
of hospitals and sanitariums. 1t is
prescribed by over 1000 doctors. 1t
was used as a standard ration by the
Red Cross during the World War, for

SWITZERLAND now offers TO the
y children of America food concen-
trate developed by special method of
processing which gives it most remark
able powers.
First, it has the power to nourish a
child-at the same time it actually
creates the sensation of hunger.
Second, it usually adds a pound or
more per week to a child's weight,
when given regularly.
Third, it contains elements which
have a definite effect in curbing nerv-
business.
So remarkable are, the results OBJ
tanned, that we believe all mothers
will like to read the story of just how
this creation was developed and how
it accomplishes it's unusual results.
SO years ago, in Switzerland, a young
food chemist developed remarkable
method of processing certain natural
foods. A method of processing which
gives to these foods certain values,
which none of them have when taken
alone or when put together in an ordi-
nary mixture. 1t created world COM
ment at that time, for it solved the
problem of feeding invalids. Its use
has spread all over the world. And

FALSE VOICE is
PERFECTED FOR
CANCER VICTIMS
Artificial Larynx May Be
Applied to Neck for Use
for Speech.
By Science Service

By Science SeTrice
ROCHESTER, MINI, June 12.-
An artificial voice box which works
SO prefectly that it gives the effect
of natural speech to a listener in
an adjoining room has been devised
by DR.. Charles Sheard of the Mayo
Foundation here. The instrument
is used by persons who have lost
their natural voice box, or larynx.
This artificial larynx is said to
give better results and to be more
easily used than any Of the pre-
viously devised ones. It even per-
mits of some meditation Of the
voice.
The instrument is a voice-saving
device for sufferers from cancer of
the throat who have undergone a
life-saving operation.
The operation is radical and often
destroys the vocal apparatus. After
this operation, the patient must
breathe through an opening in the
neck, and is unable to speak.
In the early stages of the dis
ease, when the radical operation
offers a practical certainty of cure,
sufferers have often hesitated be-
cause they dreaded the loss Of their
voices.
Delay has usually allowed the
disease to progress to point where
cure is impossible. With the fear
of future silence removed, suffer-
ers are apt to submit to operation
early, while there is still chance
of cure.
The artificial lary11x is strapped
over the opening in the neck made
during the operation. 1t receives
air which it sets into vibrations
similar to those caused by the vocal
cords. This vibrating column of
air is carried to the mouth by a
small tube and three modified into
human speech by the lips and ton
que.

responding four weeks in 1880.
Considering by four-week pc
RODS since January, 1929, total
deaths from automobile accidents
for 81 cities, regardless of place of
accident, the lowest total (47D
appears for the four-week period
ending February %, 1929, and the
highest $500 for the four-week
period ending November 2, 1929.
For the 52-week period ending
January "a, 1881, and January Is,
1890, the totals for the 81 cities,
were, respectively, 1897 and 1865,
which indicate recent rate OF
25.5 per 100000 population, as
against an earlier rate of $50, or
an increase of per cent in the
rate during the year.
Five cities reported no deaths
from automobile accidents for the
last four weeks, while nine cities
reported no deaths from automo-
bile accidents for the correspond
ing period Of 1929.
For the last four-Week period
reports as to whether deaths oc-
Cured from automobile accidents
within city limits or outside were
received from all of the 81 cities
reporting. In these cities in this
four-week period, the total num-
Der of deaths from automobile &C
cidentS was 736, but only 613 of
these we're due to accidents within
city limits.
Upward Trend Continues.
Here is some pleasant news.
Continuing the upturn which
started in December, January
production of cars and trucks in
the United States and Canada
shows an increase of IA per cent
over December, according to pre-
liminary estimate of 1888 by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce based on shipping re-
ports.
December had shown a similar
increase of IA per cent over No
vember. Prior to that, production
had shown a steady decline for
the 10 previous months.
January production, compared
with the same month of 1880,
shows a decrease of 35 per cent.
The figures indicate a produc-
ton adjustment in step with the
high interest shown by the public
and sales made at the automobile
shows at New York, Chicago, De-
troit and other cities.
Regulations and Controversies.
The adjustment of the regula-
ton requiring parking lights on
all automobiles between shutdown
and Sunup, except where they are
in utter darkness due to improper
street lighting, has met with ap-
probation everywhere. In all prob
ability the manufacturers Of park
ing lights and other accessories
have been gladdened, for the
profit on their sales likely was
wiped out by the costs of their
own battery charging and new
batteries.
A controversy has been under
way for some time by the rail-
roads and the bus owners. It is
all over question of taxes. The

patronage is being taken away
from them by the buses, largely
due to low taxes.
In return the bus owners feel
that their taxes are too high and
that a railroad monopoly is being
carried on. The National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce is
sending out reams of material
supporting their claims and the
railroad officials are doing like
wise
The argument will go on for
some time before some compro-
mise is reached, for compromise
seems the only way out Of the
matter.
