NEW YORK, April 23.-Despite
continued weakness, stocks devel-
oped their first substantial rally in
more than a week today.
After further setbacks, which car
ried many Of the leaders to further
new low ground, the market devel-
oped a temporary overSold condi-
ton and rebounded briskly. Sub
Stantial early losses were Substan-
tiated with similar sized gains.
The recovery was far from i'm
presslve, however, largely represent
ing active short covering and a good
part of the gains were cancelled to-
ward noon. Auburn furnished the
principal feature, soaring more
chan 10 points at one time on q
few transactions. Steel common,
which opened unchanged at 1861,
ran up to 129 and subsequently sold
off to around the 1913 level. Similar
movements occurred in other lead
ers.
Special Issues OFF
At the same time liquidation con-
tinued in special issues. Fox Film A
broke nearly points to the lowest
levels it has sold since William Fox
relinquished control of the company
more than a year ago. Other
amusement shares were weak,
Warner Brothers selling at the
lowest price since listing of the
present class of stock. Paramount
its low of Wednesday.
Principal railroad stocks con-
tinued to display a heavy tone and
many of them touched further new
low levels. Shares of the Allegheny
Corporation, Van Sweringen hold
ing company, sold at the lowest
price in their history at IA, frac-
tionaI decline, while new lows since
1927 or longer were reached by New
York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, |
and Pennsylvania.
Trading Quiets Down
Trading activity, which ran at
the rate of approximately 100000 |
shares for full season during the
first half hour, tapered toward
noon as the market resumed it's
drift to lower levels. At one time the
stock tape was a minute behind |
trading on the floor of the ex-
change.
Early strength in Steel common
was attributed to ticker reports that
5he corporation would maintain the
81 annual dividend rate at the next
This development brought

house Electric, on the other hand,

Nitro Glycerine Is Not an Ex-
plOsive-The explosive substance
which we call nitro-glycerine is
not nitro-glycerine, and is not a
nitro-subStitution compound, as
its name would imply. Instead of
being a substance produced by the
action of nitric acid upon organic
compounds, its reactions are those
of a salt or ester of nitric acid.
and its correct chemical name is
glyceryl trinitrate. True nitro
glycerine is not an explosive, and
is not used as such.

Real Estate Financing

The recent national real estate convention in Baltimore had good deal to say about unsatisfactory financing conditions in their line, compared with others. One of the dele gates. returning to his own city. proposes series of round table meetings of realtors and bankers to thresh out the problem. What he says describes the general situation pretty well:
 Never did the banks buy their money so eheaply. Let us find a way for them to pass that economy on and create proper spirit to help pull the country out of this depression. The stories we hear of banks having large sums frozen in mortgages are greatly exag- gerated.
 Anything which makes for longer term financing. longer time amortization on home loans, will create the most widespread good effect on general business. for the reason that the materials and equipment used in building homes bring business to so many different lines. We learn that. while money for home building has been tight here. our own inves- tors have been buying by the million bonds used to finance homes in other countries. As Americans we should be ashamed of that.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-26
Revised Statutes

People who have had recourse to the public acts of the General Assembly, unless they are trained in the art of reference work, can wan der aimlessly through volume after volume without finding what they seek. However. under new system that Revision Commits sioner Frederick A. Scott of Plymouth is in- augurating this year it will now be possible to consult the general statutes with assurance of finding what you want readily. To glance at the statutes now they slightly resemble hodge -podse of new laws amendments etc.
 The 1930 revision of the statutes will hereafter be followed. The new form is called cumulative supplement Session laws will appear in the same order as do the acts to which they refer in the 1930 revised edition. In the past the chapters to which they referred determined their order. Amend ments to the motor vehicles laws. for instance. will be published eonseeutively provided. of course. they amend consecutive sections of the statutes. The l93l statutes will be num- bered in order. as la. "a. etc.
 The use of letters will permit similar institution in ensuing volumes. For example. in 1933 the laws will be printed lb, 2b. etc. If it is a new law that is consulted the letter N will designate this fact. However, as most of the statutes consulted refer back to other chapters these will be indicated in the column. This will not only aid those who have refer enee to the general statutes. but also Revision Commissioner Scott in future years when another session will have given him countless new acts to be added to the steadily growing volumes While the general public may not appreciate this change lawyers and those who have frequent recourse to the laws of the state certainly will

Book Voyasers

A public library in New England figured out pleasant way to get school children to reading library books in vacation. It has in- stituted journey around the world. to be ae- complished by reading travel and story books about different lands and people. about the sea. about history and geography. The ehil- dren embarking on this literary voyage will choose for themselves the books they read. Librarian guides will merely give them oeeas- ional help and point the way to certain books particularly appealing to certain temperaments and tendencies It isn't at all cut-and-dfied reading course, but an introduction to library treasures
 There isn't much danger in any such pro- gram that children will be entieed away from needed outdoor play. There are times in any vacation when small boys and girls. and older ones. too. like to curl up in swing or under tree and delve into the adventurous realms of books. Mothers are grateful for such periods and for the expert assistance of good Ebrar- ian in making the reading as rich and happy as it ought to be.
