FOREIGN BONDS
TAKE SPURT

NEW YORK, June 80 GN'S0.
Strength in the foreign govern
.nent issues, particularly the Ger
mans, featured the early bond
trading today.
Despite the lack of definite
news from the Lausanne confer
ence the strength in the German
bonds continued to reflect the
rumors of a favorable announce
ment on reparations the next
few days. The German Inter
national 512s jumped 15s peints
to 81 while the Dawes rs scored
a similar gain at 81.
The bonds OF the United King
dom were strong and higher on
the cut in the British bank rate
today to the lowest levels in IS
years.
One of the most encouraging
features of the bond trading was
the rally staged by the second
grade and speculative issues. st.
Louis-San Francisco consolidated
Az rose to 1112. a gain of 2A
from their record low.
Both Treasury and Liberty
issues were down from 1872 to ~
point, indicating traders were
taking profits and investors were
switching into the higher yield

PRICE CHANGES
SLIM ON CURB

NEW YORK, June 30 G.N.s).
The curb market continued to
display a sulky disposition in the
course of another SpiritleSS ses-
sion today, and price changes of
more or less irregular character
were predominant.
Electric bond and share was a
particularly disappointing issue
among the utilities, sagging to a
new low on the movement at 53s,
for a loss of 3s.
Oils were irregular, with Gulf
once more coming into the lime
light with a gain of IA points to
81. Standard of Indiana dipped
"a to 18.
Investment trusts and special
ties lowered around listlesSly
without much change in prices.
The bond division was featured
by flare-up in Cuban Telephone
71aS which scared 10 points to
rs. In the utility group, Elec-
trio Power and Light IS stood
out with a gain of 1A points
to 1874.

MARKET TILTED
BY NERVOUS
SHORTS
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR


NEW YORK, June 80 G.N.S0
The shorts got little nervous
yesterday and helped put the
market up.
Rumors that constructive de-
velccments were really occurring
underneath the gloom emanating
from Lausanne was one factor,
combined with revival Of reports
that Congress would wind UP its
work and go home by Saturday.
Rally Needs Help
Opinion is fairly widespread
that the market is in a position
for and is entitled to a good
rally. But it's going to need
news to keep going.
The midyear window dress
ing" may be factor in putting
stocks up a little more today to
help out trusts and institutions.
Wall Street perked UP conSid.
erably yesterday when reports
from the floor told Of conSid-
erable activity on the buying side
of brokers usually identified with
the Morgan interests. such as
Richard Whitney and Allen Lind
ley.
Held to Be Significant
This seemed the more signifi-
cant in view of the report that
all the bad news from Lausanne.
forecasting complete failure Of
the conference, was only surface
talk and that good news might
be expected in 48 hours.
The buying was concentrated
on Consolidated Gas, American
Can, General Electric and U. S.
Steel preferred, with a little
American Telephone and Du
Pont.

REVENUE OFF
IN MAY

Net telephone operating reve-
nueS of the Chesapeake and Pc.
toinac Telephone Co. for May
were $60,6o1 less than for the
same month last year, according
to the report on file today with
the Public Utilities Commission.
This drop is greater than in
April, when net revenues were
approximately $4,000 less than
in April, 1881. Revenues for the
first five months of the year also
were lower than in the 1881
period.
Gross Also Lower
May operating revenues were
$BO5 300, and expenses were
$597 ,926, making the net $2O8,O64.
Operating and gross income were
both about 80 per cent less than

This was about 10 per cent below
the $15l,595 balance in May last
year.
washington was served by
1872 .3O6 telephones at the close OF
business on May 81 this year, as
compared with 172,474 at the same
time last year. although there
was a loss in the month OF IL.
The company handled 2O,568'OOO
calls in the month, as compared
with l9,935, 900 in May last year
Reviewing the report, John A;
Remon, general manager, pointed
out particularly the decline IN
the annual rate of net earnings
in relation to average plant IN
service for the firse five months
this year to 6.21 per cent, as
compared with 7.31 per cent dur
ing the same period Of 1881.
Reasons for Decline
Mr.. Remon attributes this de-
cline in part to the fact that in
creased demands have increased
the total plant in service to $32,-
169 ,OO4 from $3O,5O3,924 in May
last year, and further to reduc-
tions and adjustments in tele-
phone charges he estimates at
$101 900 for this year.

In all humanity and particularly among wo-

called-is very frequent complaint. Among
the common symptoms, one or more of which
is usually found in this condition, are, lack of
appetite, poor digestion, paleness, nervousness,
skin disorders, weakness, and rundown con-

Hemoglobin plays an important role in body
vitality and enduring strength is the carry

the lungs to all parts of the body-epen to the
skin-and carries off the waste product.

Simple FrockS Fit Many Needs

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-You
IN know what type Of dress we
mean by "the kind of dress you can
wear anywhere" under your coat
for the street: to bridge; to the
movies; for an evening visit; the
soft, easy-to-wear, in-between dress,
which is chameleon for taking on
the character of its surroundings.
Such a dress often becomes your
favorite-like The Alice Blue
Gown of the old song. Only Of
course this year it won't be Alice
blue. Much more likely TO be black,
or wine, or brilliant chanel red.
Whatever it is, you'll find, as
you look back over the fall AND
winter, it will have colored a good
part of your life.
often Is Edwardian
It's quite likely to be Edwardian
in effect, too. Sleeves a bit full at
the top in the quaint 1900 way. Belt
taken in a notch more than last
year. Smoothly nodded hips. The
out~in-out hourglass effect that
makes everybody so charmingly
feminine.
We noticed a lovely Edwardian
dress at bridge the ether evening
warm Burgundy with little
brown fur at the ends of the tied
neckline.
Burgundy and brown q. COM
bination you'll often see in looking
at the portraits of the grand ladies
OF few decades ago. Not quite
far enough back to be holding par
rots on their fingers, but probably
idly toying with fans)
TUNES Are Smart
Some of these soft dresses get
their ide-shouldered effects with
epaulets or capelets. A capelet
tunic, for instance.
Yes, tunic styles are in . q. as
you'll be very glad to hear if you're
particularly tall person and like
to cut your height.
Another dress that seems to go
anywhere suitably is the one-piece
type in two contrasting fabrics. Such
combination as silk crepe for the
skirt and satin for the top.
If you are the type which always
is going to start dieting tomorrow,
you'll like this dress all in one
color.
TwO-ColOr Effects Good
Simmer folks, however, will often
pick it with a dark skirt and a
light top. (Such as you see in the
sketch. This type of dress often
has a wrapped to-the-back effect,
slimming the waist and molding the
hips.
Another type of dress that always
shoulders a lot of responsibility dur
ing the winter time is the bright
colored silk made simply, but with
fine detail.
Such as one we saw in Chanel
red, with narrow inSets of chiffon
drawing lines across the shoulders
to make them look wider.
Hemstitching often trims such
dresses, too a little on a sleeve
puff, around the neck or on soft
rever.

Control Plane Traffic
With New Light Pistol

Washington.-A spotlight" for air
traffic control has been perfected by
the aeronautics branch of the United
States Department of Commerce.
The protector, which resembles an
overfat pistol, works on the same prin-
ciple as ground traffic lights at street
crossings. 1t throws red or green
beam and thus can be used to signal
a pilot whether or not to land. OF
course, other forms of signaling may
be devised.
Col. Clarence NJ. Young, assistant
secretary of commerce in charge of
aeronautics. recently conducted flight
over Washington to test the new pro-
jector. An assistant stood on the
ground holding the light while the
plane flew from 1000 to 5000 feet over
head, and at as great distance as six
miles from the airport. The projec-
tor operator manipulated the trigger
which controls the light, and the beam
shifted from greed to red and red to
green. By means of sights the oper-
ator could spot the plane and direct
the beam at it. The beam was clear
ly observable to the occupants of the
plane.
The departments new device gives
beam of $1,000 candlepower, which
makes it visible day or night at great
distances, and even though the visi-
bility be poor.
