the steadily ascending bond market to-
ykay and prices again reached new Sish
ground for the present move.
While the utilities and industrials
were In fair demand, the railway list
ran considerably ahead Of these groups.
The speculative carriers especially held
large followings and repeated their
previous point-gaining performances.
Baltimore g. Ohio bonds, recently
rather bucyant. were further stimulated
by announcement from Washington
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion had approved loan Of $3l,625,-

tion Finance Corporation for the pur-
pose Of refunding an approaching ma
turity Of twice that sum.

time. Even admitting there may be
justification for q recovery in securities,
they say it has outrun the progress In
business and that it has not been con-
firmed in any degree by the accepted
trade indexes.
Meanwhile the market itself Is the
best answer to these gloomy forebod-
ings. II it be true that the price move
ment in stocks discount everything that
the market can forsee, all the unfavor-
able aspects Of the situation have been
recognized and dismissed as minor i'm
portance In comparison with the favor
able. Perhaps the unprecedented re-
covery in bonds Is the most impressive
reply, a recovery, which has been going
on without interruption for almost two
months. All financial history teaches
that a movement of that duration and
scope has a solid foundation.
The revival in bonds followed closely
the organization Of the so-called bond
pool and has justified the Judgment
Of its founders Now we have bank
ing plan to assist commodities, not by
direct purchase as was done in the case
Of bonds, but by supplying credit, which
would otherwise be unavailable. If the
same result can be reached in the
commodity markets. that alone will go
far toward insuring economic revival,
inasmuch as it Is the burden Of debt
made unbearable by the decline in
staples, which is the fundamental rea-
son for the long depression.
As far as the market itself goes, it
is almost insolent in its discregarding
Of bad news The most dismal earn
ing statements put out by railroad or
industrial corporations produce no liqui-
dation in the stock affected, speculative
or investment. In fact this week there
have been instances where these poor
statements have been followed by price
advances instead Of declines.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, August 20.-While ex-
pressing some doubt as to the markets
ability to forge ahead in the absence of
positive indications Of a turn in indus
try, brokers letters attached signifi-
canoe to the continued strength Of the
bond market as factor for sustaining
bullish trading sentiment.
Comment follows:
Thomson & McKinnon-However
skeptical one may feel about the ac-
curacy of the stock markets reflection
the action of bonds is both impressive
and convincing.
Frazier Jelke & Co.-The stock mar
ket is giving good account Of itself
and there is progressive improvement In
bond prices-perhaps a better measure
of fundamental investor sentiment than
fluctuations in volatile stocks.
Shields & Co.-The market apparent
ly needs a new stimulus to break out
further on the upside. 1t Is likely to
take its cue from the commodities mar
kClS lOi JLlC oSNCiul oCooAoAko oAA~a
as result be retarded somewhat by the
momentary worry over Canadian wheat
tariff. With the presidential business
conference promising to create addi-
tional bullish sentiment next week,
however, policy of buying on reactions
continues warranted.
jackson Bros, BoeSel g. Cot is
well worth noting that bond prices con-
tinued uniformly strong all through
Yesterdays session No change in the
main trend of the stock market is likely
as long as investment demand asserts
itself so positively in the bond market.
Hornblower g. Weeks-Although the
market during the past week has been
subject to sharp selling movements,
volume of trading on such occasions has
shown a tendency to diminish, with the
general behavior Of the market indi-
eating the presence Of real underlying
strength. Therefore. we would continue
TO have faith in the constructive side
Of the market until the industrial sec
ton of the list has had another oppor-
tunity to better its previous high level.

NEW YORK, August 20.-At the week
end there is a numerically small but
experienced group in the street to
whom the present stock market Is a
dark and ominous mystery. 1t should
be emphasized that this faction is in
the minority but at the same time its
members have standing which entities
their opinions to respectful hearing.
They have no sympathy with the ad-
vance in stocks and can see no adequate
reason therefor. It Is not that they
hold the childish idea that the rise has
been engineered for political purposes.
They know as we'll as any one else that
any such maneuver, desirable as 1t
might be for achieving political ends,
would be impossible of execution on
that ground alone. Their objections lie
deeper. They have a distrust of all the
artificial" methods employed In Wash
ington-not a distrust Of their imme-
diate effects, but Of the influence on
events over the longer period
Specifically, they feel that the fact
that railroad receiverships can and will
be averted by aid from the RenconStru-
ton Finance Corporation is no excuse
for bidding up railroad stocks in the
absence of any actual improvement in
trafic or earnings Loans made by the
Government must be repaid and that
within a comparatively short term. They
ask, where is the money to come from
to make these repayments?
This railroad situation Is, in their
opinion, typical of many other things
that are happening in the market. If
the present structure is being erected on
an insecure foundation, they say. the
advance in the market will only make
matters worse when the true state OF
affairs Is revealed They offer addi-
tional arguments for adopting an ex-
tremely cautious attitude at the present

KANSAS CITY. Mo, August 90
Just what significance is to be attached
to the strikes" being promoted in the
wheat and corn belts Is causing much
interest.
In Iowa, there seems to be a recru-
descence of the agitation that brought
out the National Guard last Winter in
connection with the immunization of
cattle. Whole neighborhoods havs been
united In an e:ort to prevent any fam
lily either buying mooities or SELL
ing products, seeking to enforce the
order through violence.
In the upper wheat belt there is be-
ing promoted movement to hold
wheat for dollar bushel An earlier
scheme OF the same sort was born and
died out in Southwest Kansas in July
The feeling has been that none Of these
movements has any permanent future
and that after the first flush OF pub
ncity they will collapse,

YOUR TEETH
Their Relation to Your
General Health
BIZ the Educational Committee of the
American Dental Association
A LESSON FROM FOLKLORE

From the worlds folklore the en-
lightened modern world may learn a
lesson in dental hygiene, according to
DIR. Alfred Walker, chairman of the
educational committee of the Ameri-
can Dental Association.
Despite the great strides taken for
ward by modern scientific research
DR.. Walker says, thousands of persons
believe today that you can cure a
toothache by running three times
around church without thinking Of
a fox.
That is just one of hundreds Of
strange cures recommended by folk
lore. If it doesn't work, you can try
what DR.. Walker considers the prize
of them all, which specifies that you
fill your mouth with water and sit or
hot stove until the water boils. This
is guaranteed to eliminate toothachs
entirely.
Carolina Negroes believe in teach.
ing tooth charms to the young. They
put dogs tooth in bag and tie the
bag around baby's neck. This is sup
posed to save the child trouble while
teething and assures healthy teeth
when the child grows up.
German peasants, who recommend
the walk around the church as solu
ton of your teeth troubles, also thinl
that you can cure a toothache by kis
sing donkey. Some Bavarians be-
lieve that camphor wrapped in cottor
and placed in the car will cure baC
teeth, while others offer this prescrip
ton; Open hens egg, remove the
white cuticle surrounding the yolk
wrap it around the little finger of eacl
hand, and leave it there until it dries
Pain will disappear promptly.
Commenting on the folklore find
ings, DR.. Walker says that moderns
with the tools of science at their com
mand, may take a lesson from tht
humble folk who devised the strange
formulas.
"The German peasants who use tht
fox Cure at least indicate that they
are giving some thought to theil
dental health" DIR. Walker says, "ant
that is more than you can say fol
most of us modern Americans.
j "We can well take a page from tn,
folklore of simple people the worl,
over and learn that we should plac,
more Importance on the condition O
our teeth as they affect our genera
health"
Think of your teeth when they d,
not ache, and they will not ache ant
make you think of them. Clean them
give them the proper food and hav
them checked at regular intervals, an,
you will save yourself worry, pair
poor health and dental bills.
