Looking to Rails.
The railroad situation Is expected in
the near future to furnish a stimulant
to the general securities market. Hope
is running high that the employees will
agree to accept a 10 per cent reduction
in wages, which, 1t is calculated. would
mean saving of approximately $780,
COO 900 yearly for the common car
rierS.
Reduced wages on the railroads would
create an increased demand for railroad
securities. which Is expected to spread
to other departments Of the stock list.
The first beneficial effect Is expected
to find reflection in the market for
railroad bonds, many of which are sell
ing at abnormally low prices.
The Street is hopeful with regard to
the new year, but in the absence Of
any definite signs of betterment in the
commercial picture and the continuance
of necessitous selling that is the most
that can be said-just now.

REGARDLESS Of lower total deposits the
Washington banks are in an unusually

of liQuidity, they are in the strongest

this solid basis being due to the high

BUYING Of STOCKS
STILL At LOW EBB
Bond Market Action Contains
Ray of Hope in Present
Situation.
By CHARLES w, STORM,

Editor, the News Service of Wall Street.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 4-The sharp
decline in the general stock market ana
the eSta abliShment of some new low
record prices on Saturday, the frst
business day Of the new year, dlssi-
pated much of the hopefulness which
began to be expressed with the going
out OF the old year.
1t had been hoped that the cessation
of liquidation for tax purposes and
window dressing would result IN
reduced volume of selling and mark the
beginning of a period of stabilization.
The rapidity, however, with which the
industrial list declined during the short
session demonstrated more clearly than
ever the absence of buyers for stocks
at a time when there Is still some
necessitous liquidation to be done.
Notwithstanding the depressing action
of the general market, one source Of
hopefulness remained unchanged, and
that was the bond market. The de-
mand for United States Government
bonds is showing a gratifying expan-
sion and at one time Saturday a. scar
city of offerings was reported on the
floor of the exchange.
January usually witnesses a good
market and continuance of improved
bond prices would be a constructive in
f1uence on the prices of stocks were it
not for the fact that the selling of
stocks is of a necessitous nature.
1t was logical to expect that the end
Of the year would mark diminution,
of the liquidation, but the continuance
of bank closings and the selling Of their
security holdings remain sources of sup
ply more than sufficient for the meagre
demand for shares.
Credit Corporation.
Announcements of bank closings are
again becoming daily occurrence. At
the moment they are taking place in
States in which the tobacco industry Is
largely intrenched. The closing Of these
banks has been a source Of liquidation,
especially with regard to the tobacco
shares, and accounts to some degree for
the continued selling of these shares,
which were feature of the weakness
Saturday.
Bank closings, however, are now re-
garded with much less apprehension.
These closings have led to some criti-
ciSm with regard to the activities of
the National Credit Corporation. which
was formed to help banking institutions
In need of funds.
1t can be stated on good authority,
however, that the National Credit Cor
poration is functioning and is doing a
tremendous amount of good The very
nature Of its activities necesSitates ret
icence, and for that reason the general
public is not cognizant of the good
that is being done. Banking institu-
tions needing funds and deSirous of
making loans that are considered good
are being afforded relief whenever their
New York correspondents for one rea-
son or another do not make the loans.

right position and repeat the exercise
10 times. Exhale on the forward bend
and inhale when arms and trunk are
raised erect
Setting-up exercises are intended to
bring all the principal muscles into
play every day. 1t is the general set
ting-up exercises that should be taken
day after day indefinitely in order to
keep the whole muscular, organic and
nervous system fit. If an especial set
of muscles needs development, the
movement in which they are involved
should be repeated several times slowly.
To reduce flabby muscles and build up
Suppleness instead, repeat the exercises
with more speed and vim, but avoid
violent exercise. The home woman
and the sedentary worker often loses
her figure so gradually that she does
not realize it. 1t is far better to keep
ones figure fit by a little moderate
exercise every day than to launch all
at once on drastic fgure-s -slimming
treatment or a drastic reducing cam
paign when the flesh has become bur-
denSome in any particular place or
the whole figure is too heavy.
For those who have the opportunity
a walk after breakfast, or even short
stroll through the garden or fields, Is
ideal, and even town dWellerS can man
age short walk, If only part of the way
to business, which will fill their lungs
with the fresh air of the early morning.
During this short interval an effort
should be made TO keep the mind In
quiescent state. Later in the day, when
one Is sustained by nourishment, is
quite soon enough to start solving the
problems of the day. To start worrying
too early Is to invite indigestion and
nervous haste, with the result that one
ends the day in fatigued condition.

The two-pocket bag in shoe-bag style
is another good one for busters. Fit
the pockets with flaps which do double
duty in keeping the contents clean and
concealing them. This sort Of bag Is
recommended to go on the inside OF
the broom closet door. Sew rings along
the top edge to fit over hooks screwed
into the door. The bag is then easily
taken down and put up whenever 1t
goes to the laundry.
The laundry-bag style Of duster bag
is another that lends itself well to the
purpose Put center lengthwise slit
in two of three pieces of material all
cut the same size. Basic the pieces
together with the two having the Sits
in them on each side of the plain
piece. Bind all edges. Sew length
of the binding tape to each top and
use this to hang the bag up with.
A set of six cheeSecloth busters,
blanket stitched along all edges using
yarn the color Of binding tape or some
color in the material and any one of
these styles of duSter bags, makes an
attractive and welcome gift for an
engaged girls shower.
Initials for filet or cross stitch by
counted threads can be had for each.
A ship for applique with waves and
moon showing over the horizon to be
worked in outline stitch is cents
These make interesting decorations for
duster bags. Please be sure to inclose

known as the goldbug. He

Canada in order TO get the food his

1t is in early May or June that the
tortoise beetle makes his first appear
ance All Winter long, since the Au-.
gust before, he has slept in sheltered
place under the bark or trash, await
ing the time when the sweet potato will
nut forth her tender leaves. He Is
about one-third of an inch long, with
a coat OF brick red well decorated With
about 20 small round black spots on
the forward part of his back. In shape
he is very convex and the margins OF
his body are not extended. His wings
are strong, his legs steady and his jaws
mighty.
It is June, the favorite month for
Argus beetles to wed. A very attractive
looking damsel comes along and among
the tender sweet potato leaves the mar
riage takes place. Later the young
mother places from Is to 80 eggs in
clusters on one leaf. They are fastened
securely by a slender foot stalk or
pedicle.
In about 10 days curious-looking tor

leaves, seeking seclusion. Whether 1t

black and their bodies light yellow.
When fully grown these youngsters
are about p inch long with an outline
of black-tipped spines. At the very
tips of their bodies are two very long
spines that curl over their backs like
a squirrels tail and greatly add to their

when an old coat is outgrown, and are
used to pull the outgrown garment off.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTRR.

Most houses and apartments are built
on the general supposition that the
more and larger your rooms, the more
and larger should be your closets,
though 1t wouldn't be bad idea to
reverse this and increase the roominess
and number Of closets as you reduce
the number and size Of your rooms.
1t Is fact that you can get along
with very much smaller rooms and still
not feel crowded or hampered II you
have spacious closets, shelves and cup
boards enough to store all articles not
needed to have exposed And a few
feet OF area add enormously to a closet
without giving any appreciable space in
room.
You can get along with a very small
kitchen, a veritable kitchenette, If you
see to it that along the wall space of
that kitchen you have numerous shelves,
closets and cupboards. And you can
get along with very much less equip
ment in the way Of cupboards If the
kitchen Is spacious enough to provide
for full equipment in tables and other
articles of kitchen furnishing.
1t is always good plan to have
enough shelf space and cupboard space
so that you need not have to figure on
having your possessions and supplies
slowed away in close array.

~ AGS with two pockets are the
best kind to use for busters.
One pocket is for the clean and
- the other for the used cloths
which are not yet sufficiently
soiled to go into the laundry, and can
be used again. A busy homemaker does
not have time to wash out duster each
time it is used, yet it should not go
in again with spick and span ones.
The double pocket bags are just the
things, therefore.
Of the many tWo-pocket bags, the
miser-purse style presents itself as ex-
cellent. This may be familiar one
to most of you, but for the beneht
of those unacquainted with 1t, may
say its pockets are not divided on III
any way except by rings which close
each pocket end separately. The bag
is double length of rather narrow strips
of textile and has long length slit
in the center Of one side. This is the
sole opening. The two rather tightly
fitting rings which are slipped on over
the bag, can be pulled back and forth
across the slit to open or close which,
ever side is wanted open or shut. The
strip of bag between the two ends
forms the handle adequately when the
rings are down and the bag is closed.

1t is just possible that you are too
outspoken. If you see something wrong,
you talk about it, and that makes
enemies.
There probably isn't anything lack
ing in you. Many a girl Of l8 is just
as lonely as you. She Is changing from
q child into woman, and she doesn't
quite realize what she wants or needs.
She's usually shy and that makes It
hard for her to make friends. After a
year or two that will pass away and
you will make friends and hold them.
Many a girl who makes friends easily
can't hold them. And often q girl who
has hard time making friends holds
them forever once she finds them.
There Is no mystery about this. Some
people have striking and dramatic quail
tiles OF charm or entertainment on the
surface AS soon as one meets them
one Is either amused or attracted. Such
q girl makes friends instantly. II be-
hind the drama and charm there is
neither kindness nor depth, the friend
ship vaniShes. Only too often the girl
who dramatically shows of when you
first meet her is so busy showing of
that she has nothing TO give, and you
no longer want her friendship. And

some others, for his big feet would en-
able him to travel over softer snow
than most people could. Still, ne was
so uncomfortably hungry that his pa
tience was quite exhausted when at
length on the edge OF the evening he
ventured forth.
Like a drifting gray shadow, he stole
from thicket to thicket and cover 10
cover, hoping to surprise Jumper the
Hare or Thunderer the Grouse, or even
little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. SO
at last he came to the hemlock tree In
which Prickly Porky the Porcupine was
complaining as he stripped a bough OF
its green needles or leaves, It's tender
twigs and even It's bark. He was stuff
ing himself with food that he liked. He
knew nothing of the pains of hunger.
He never had known them. Yet he was
complaining just because he didn't like
the snow.
For moment Yowler stopped to
listen The fretful, complaining voice OF
Prickly Porky f1oated down to him.
