Plans to Aid Germany
Causes Market Upturn.
BY CLAUslE A. JAEGER,
Anrnriatad Piss Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, June 20.-The stock
market ended its dullest week In recent
years today with violent upswing In
prices.
Impetus for this bullish awakening
was provided by President Hoover's
announcement that he was holding
non-partisan conferences looking to
steps to assist the economic situation
particularly in Germany.
Stock prices surged up from to
more than 10 points. with several OF
the principal issues gaining to more
than points. Trading for time was
the most active seen this month, with
the ticker tape tagging minute or two
behind transactions on the floor Trans
fers for the two-hour session were
about 100000 shares.
The upturn came at time when dis
couragement was again Seeping through
the financial district. Some observers
had insisted that the extreme dizziness
of the stock market must be regarded
as a forerunner of an important up
turn, but as one broker put it. they
seemed to pe crying in the wilderness.
The Washington announcement was
a surprise to Wall Street, and the
vigor of the upturn presumably re-
flected primarily the hasty withdrawal
of bears 1t had been unofhcially re-
ported in Wall Street for some time
that the Washington administration
was giving its serious attention to the
German situation, and that the Federal

determined to keep it in hand. but it

however.
In the rails, Union Pacific and
AtchisOn gained about 10 points. New

more than 5. The days extreme gain
was in Auburn which got up 16, and

The week end business surveys gave
Wall Street some grounds for cheer, in
addition to the Washington news.
Index figures on commodity prices for
the past week generally show continued
stability from the previous week, the
first in about three months. The
mercantile reviews indicated some
falling of of retail trade, after the
better reports of the preceding week,
but said wholesalers had been cheered
by inquiries for Fall merchandise.
Furthermore, estimates Of steel pro-

next week indicated a check to the
recent decline, and slight upturn for
the first time in weeks. contrary to the
normal downward trend at this time.

j. S. WHEAT EXPORT
FACES CRISIS

New York.-"Unless the Russian ex-
pertinent collapses the United States

except in very unusual years or at
ruinously low prices" said Senator
Capper in the New York Times.
Russia can apparently grow wheat
IN enormous quantities, is close to
water transportation, with low labor
costs and this wheat can be dumped
into Western Europe, said Mr.. Capper.
Soviet Russia is the greatest com
petitor of the American wheat farmer
today in the world market. The Rus
sian competition in the world market
differs from Canadian, Australian or
Argentine competition. The Russian
Soviet has been dumping wheat into
Western Europe at whatever price the

Scriptural Rooks

"Ecclesiastes" and "Ecclesiasticus"
are the names of different portions of
the Scriptures. The former Is accept
ed by both Catholics and Protestants
as one of the essential and canonical
books Of the Bible. "Ecclesiasticus,"
or "Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach"
as 1t is also called, is the name of a
portion OF the Catholic Bible. It was
included in the canon fixed by the
Council Of Trent (1545-15aS) and is
classified as one of the deuterocanoni-
cal books. Protestants regard Ecclesi-
asticus as one Of the Apocrapha and
consequently, although they read it for
inspiration and edification, they do not
use 1t to fix points OF doctrine.-Path-

Eighth Wonder Of the World

Milan, the capital OF Lombardy, is
unquestionably the industrial metrop-
oils OF the country and essentially the
sign and symbol Of the new Italy. In
deed, there are few cities In Europe
where the spirit Of the Twentieth GEN.
tury is more firmly enthroned; yet It
still radiates the atmosphere Of & bril-
liant and glowing past and many great
and ancient buildings remain to bear
witness to the golden age Of art. The
marvellous cathedral Of white marble
is the eighth wonder Of the world.
Five centuries Of effort and the genius
Of whole series of gifted architects
have gone into It's making. The great
edifice was begun in 1886 and reached
It's present form due to the generosity
Of Napoleon. The cathedral is a verit-
able architectural encyclopedia, q
product Of all the ages.

PRIVATE AID FAILS;

CAPITALISM ON

PEELED by public opinion to change
into socialized capitalism" said
Congressman Fish, chairman of the
house committee Investigating COM

week and the six-hour day and old
age pensions.
Capitalism must divest itself of
some of its manifestations of greed
and avarice if it is to maintain it's
present status" said Mr.. Fish.
IF communism is on trial, so also
is capitalism" he said. Grave abuses
have crept into our industrial capi-
talism, such as child labor, long hours
particularly in the industrial sections
of the South, huge bonuses to execu-
tives and the throwing out on the in
dustrial scrap heap Of employees at
40 years of age.

bankers for the past 18 months have
been providing large credits to So
Wet Russia and are running our
foreign markets.

today was made by Milanese at the
beginning of the Fourteenth century,
and built In a church tower Of his ma

the inhabitants. A few years later a
wonder clock made Its appearance at
Padua.
Besides indicating the hours, this

showed the course Of the sun, the rev

phases Of the moon, the months and
the numerous fetes Of the year. In
another hsndred years people were
marveling at production which must
have been the first alarm clock ever

Painters District Council.
The federal government brought
suit against these workers under the
Sherman antitrust act. They refused
to handle kitchen cabinets made out
side Chicago, and the government
claimed this is an interference with
interstate commerce.
The union contends interstate COM

WORKERS WIDOW
Wins in Arizona Court
Against Industrial Com
mission in Compensation
Case.

Phoenix, Ariz. (ILNS)-In COM
prehensive, clear-cut and far-reach-
ing decision, the supreme court OF
Arizona reversed the ruling of the
industrial commission by which that
body denied to Mrs. Helen King,
mother of five children all under seven
years of age, compensation for the
death of her husband, John David
King, who more than a year ago
froze to death in a snowstorm on
Mlngus mountain, near Jerome, while
in the employ of Alabama's Freight
Company, and engaged in an effort
to rescue other employees believed ma
rooned in the mountain storm.
As result of the supreme courts
ruling, Mrs. King will be paid from
the state insurance fund 662s per
cent of her husbands wage rate for
the next Is years, and thereafter 35
per cent of the wage rate for the bal
ance of her life.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton by reason of the prejudiced and
arbitrary fashion in which the COM
mission, which itself was the insur-
ance carrier for the freight company,
investigated the case, conducted the
subsequent hearing, arrived at its
conclusion and later presented its case
to the supreme court as respondent
Appeal was taken to the supreme
court, whose decision goes thoroughly

Timid Wife's Adventure
Just Before the naur

One OF those wives who hate the
newspaper business because her jour-
nalist husband gets home at 3 o'clock
in the morning, was recently given
good reason to kick.
She was scared out Of her home In
Drexel Park.
Of timid nature, she became thor
oughly alarmed early one morning
when she suddenly awakened, heard
= noise In the house, called to her
husband and got no response.
Deciding the long-feared burglar
had arrived at last, she clutched her
two-year-old son under her arm and
fled, clad only In her nightie, across
the roof into the open bedroom win
dow of her neighbours twin house.
She explained the situation to her
neighbors. When they had calmed
her down bit she decided to be real
brave and call her home on the tele-
phone.
strange, gruff voice answered and
she was more certain than ever that
a burglar was In her home. Then she
learned she had got wrong number
and tried again.
Her husband answered this time.
Imagine his surprise to hear the
voice OF his wife whom he had every
reason to believe was safely tucked
away upstairs.
This is Edith" she said. "Is that
you, Carl?"
Yes, and where the heck are you,
and why?" Carl wanted to know.

MOTHERS
Forced to Labor By Low
Wages of Fathers

Washington.-An increase in the
proportion of mothers in Philadelphia
working to help support their fami-
lies was found by the Federal Child
ren's Bureau after a study of 10000
mothers in that city.
In contrast to study made in
Philadelphia at the close of the World
War, when one out of seven mothers
had gone into industry, the latest
study showed that one out of five
mothers were employed. Twenty eight
per cent of the mothers We're the
chief breadwinners of the family.
''The proportion of mothers en-
ployed varied directly with the num-
Der of children of pre-school age" the
report states. "The indications are
that mothers of children who require
constant supervision and mothers of
large families do not go to work ex-
cept as last resort. Then they try
to obtain work at night or at hours
that interfere the least with their
duties as mothers.
Mothers who must earn to keep
the family together, however, will
work even if the children are
neglected 1t is a choice between
adequate supervision and food and
clothing for the children"
Factory work and domestic service
were the principal occupations of the
mothers who were the chief or sole
breadwinners of the family There
are apparently fewer opportunities
now than 10 years ago for gainful
work at home.
About half of the mothers who
were obliged to supplement the hus-
bands wages were cleaners in stores,
office and other buildings. The fact
that this work could be done at night
when the father could stay with the
children appealed to the mothers. But
on the other hand, the low wages paid
made it undesirable for the woman
who had no other means of support
for herself and her family.

only potential market in the Orient"

world wheat market we mean Western

"There are just two things the
wheat farmer can do, harsh as the
doctrine seems. First he can reduce
his wheat production to approximate
the domestic demand Second, he can
look forward to time when, through
judicious planning and a long-term
program of education, the domestic
consumption of wheat can be mate
daily increased. And apparently
that time will be slow in coming.
