Week End Profit Taking
Checks Advance in Lead

BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press financial EDITOR.
NEW YORK, April 16.-stocks were
unable TO continue their recovery
through q third session today.
Trading quarters were inclined to
look upon the upturn in the stock
market of the past two sessions as
largely a technical rebound and to
await something in the way of favor
able news before trying to press the
rally further. In the meantime, enough
week end profit taking and selling
came into the market to cause numer-
Gus recessions Of fractions to more
than points from yesterdays close.
Trading Light.
The list pushed up a little at the
start, slid back, then hardened for a
time as coppers had temporary up
turn. but sold off again in the final
dealings, and the closing tone was
heavy. Trading was quiet, however.
The turnover for the short session
approximated half million shares.
Auburn was q soft spot, breaking
nearly points to close at 81, a new
low since traded here, as a further
showing net Of cents a share. The
stock sold as high as 514 in 1929.
American Telephone also encoun-
tered fresh pressure, losing about more
than 2. Coca Cola and Western
Union sagged a couple Of points and
Eastman dropped 4. Issues off q
point or so included United States
Steel. Standards of New Jersey and
California, Allied Chemical, Union
Carbide and Air Reduction.
In the coppers, American Smelling
preferred advanced 2 points, the COM
mon a fraction, and Kennecott, Mag
ma and Cero De Pasco were firm
for time.
The buying Of coppers evidently
reflected reports Of a little better
foreign inquiry for the metal, although
prices were unchanged. The cotton
market was barely steady, futures sag
ging rs to 40 cents a bale.
Trade News.
Trade news at the week end still
failed to provide much Of a sufficiently
tangible nature to influence the market,
although the automobile industry was
being watched closely for signs of ex-
panding operations as a result of the
extensive sales efforts. In the Youngs-
town steel area, which serves the motor
makers to considerable extent, 1t was

 Claimed to Be Worth $3,5OO

birth of George Washington. These stamps were placed on sale on the
 first of January in Washington, D. C., and not until the following day were they sold in other post offices. A great rush of philate!- ists to secure first-day covers, that is, letters bearing the post-mark of Washington on January l, re- suited. One enterprising New York stamp dealer rented a store next to the Washington postoffice to take care of demands for first day covers from his clients in all sections of the country.
 Since 1900 the government has issued over fifty commemorative stamp issues in addition to the regular issues and 1t has been esti- mated that collectors have in- vested close to $100,000,000 in such special stamps, which now are among the most highly prized items in most stamp collections. To many persons stamp collecting is more profitable than are the ef- forts of book-collectors.
 The wide interest in stamp col lecting is evidenced by the fact that last year Y. Souren company of New York, brought out an edi- ton of 5000 copies of a Consoli dated Priced Catalogue of United States postage and departmental stamps. Selling for fifty cents a copy. the entire edition was ex- hausted in two months. A new edition has just been printed and it is developing into best-seller. Unlike older catalogues the Sour en list rates the stamps into four grades from good to superb, point ing out that the value depends upon the condition.

HOSPITAL CHARGES FOR CITY PATIENTS
Comparison of Rates Gives Waterbury Lower Rank
 Than Other Places
AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY

They are looking up the cost of caring for city patients at the New Haven hospital and comparing it with charges in other cities in Connecticut, including Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury. Accord ing to figures secured by The Reg ister the rate for charity patients In that city is $28 week.
 It was revealed that the rate charged for the care of charity pa- tients by Bridgeport hospitals to the city Is $3 a day, or $21 8 week. This, Bridgeport charity depart ment attaches said this morning, includes everything such as oper- ating, laboratory work and x-rays. The same rate is charged for char ity cases by both hospitals in that city.
 Tn Waterbury it was found that the rate charged for patients sent in by the city is $2 a day, or SIP a week. This includes all service a patient may require with the ex- ception Of X-ray pictures. It is sell dom, however, that 1t is necessary for city patient to have x-rays taken and as 0 result in the great majority of cases the regular weekly rate is paid by the city.
 The rate for the disqualification of charity patients by the Hartford hospitals to the city is $17.50. This. however, does not include the so- called extras, such as operations, laboratory work or x-rays.
 In most cases, charity patients ir Hartford are sent to the Muni- cipal hospital. It is only when this institution is crowded and unable to admit any more patients that the city cases are sent to other hospitals The rate charged by the other institutions is the same, how ever, $17.5O, exclusive of extras.

From the apparent interest being taken in the special freemen's meeting to be held Saturday after noon at 2:3O o'clock in the borough court room, the court room which has @ small seating capacity will not be large enough to accommo- date those who will seek admit tance. In fact, only about one fourth of those who have signed the petition requesting that some action be taken to defer using the figures of the re-valuation commit tee would be able to crowd into the court room, and 1t will prob- ably mean that the session will be adjourned to the Gem opera House. Latest reports reveal that about three hundred freemen have signed the petition. The special meeting was called for Saturday by the board of warden and burgesses when Warden Frank T. Green called a special meeting of the bor- ough board to take action on the petition.
 The majority of property own CTS heard discussing the question are of the opinion that adoption of the figures of the re-valuation committee consisting of Harry H. Schofield and Robert D. Beardsley should be laid over until later date or until such time as the in- dustrial conditions change.
 The re-valuation committee made a general increase of approximate ly 33 1-3 per cent on all property in the borough. The kick against the figures is not being registered by the small property owners alone but some of the largest holders or real estate in the borough are reg istering kicks against the increase.

LOSE FAT This Right Way

Modern science has found that excess fat is largely due to scanty gland secretion. Too much food which should supply fuel and energy goes to piled-up fat.
 Since this discovery, doctors the world over are feeding this lacking factor. The results are seen in every circle. Excess fat has been disappearing fast. Millions have gained slender figures, new youth and vigor, in this right way. They have done it without starvation, by combating the cause.
 Marmola prescription tablets present this modern method in form convenient and cheap. They are prepared by medi- cal laboratory, famous the world over. People have used them for A years millions of boxes of them. Now multi tudes of people show and tell the results. Some of your friends are among them.
 If your figure is abnormal, your vigor below par, do what these people have done. Take Marmola tablets-four.a day until conditions are corrected. Don't starve yourself. Don't use methods which are futile. Do the right thing now.
 All druggists supply Marmola. A book in each box gives the formula and explains the amazing results. Go start now. You do yourself vast injustice by remaining over-fat.
