RAIL PROBLEMS
FACE SCRUTINY
Of CONGRESS

Far reaching proposals for re.
habilitation Of American railroads,
including coordination Of rail,
air and bus transportation, are
being considered by the Coolidge
Smith railroad commission, 1t
was learned today.
Representatives Of the body
headed by former President Cool
idge, including Bernard M. Bar
uch, have discussed the railroad
problem with members Of Con.
gress,
Whole Problem To Be Aired
The whole railroad situation
may be aired in hearings before
Senate and House committees on
Interstate Commerce during the
coming session in preparation for
future legislation.
Senator CouzenS (R0 Of Mich
igan, chairman Of the Senate
committee, said he was impressed
with the similarity Of ideas Of
members of the Coolidge.Smith
commission and many Congress
sional students Of the transports
ton question. The commission,
he said, is studying intensely the
coordination plan.
An attempt to coordinate all
Major transportation sySte m s
would, it is admitted, entail a re-
organization of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. c o m
missioner Porter of that body has
already suggested a director be
named to handle administration
and that the commission itself
be a legislative and judicial body.
Capital Reduction Needed
Members of the Coolidge Smith
Commission, according to Couz-
ems, believe that the capital
structure Of railroads must be
reduced if a return is to be
earned.
This could be accomplished in
part, according to Couzens, by
separating all parts of the rail-
road business not actually used
in transportation and by elinina-
ton of duplicate services.
Under the Esch-C Cummir1S Act,
railroads were permitted to con-
solidate ticket offices and other
forms of their business. Little
has been accomplished along this
line.
The railroad question will be
presented to the House by Repre-
sentative Rayburn CD of Texas,
chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee.

COLD
IN NTHEFIRST
STAGE
and You Nip II in
the Bud!

A cold ordinarily progresses
through three stages: The Dry
Stage, the first "a hours; the
Watery Secretion Stage, / to 3
days: the Mucous Secretion Stage.
Relief in the first stage is far
easier than in the later stages.
In fact, it is taking chances to
let cold run beyond "a hours.
AS soon as you catch a cold the
wise thing to do is to take Groves
Laxative Brorno Quinine. This ia.
nous tablet stops a cold quickly
because it does the four things
necessary. It opens the bowels.
It kills the cold germs and fever
in the system. It relieves the
headache and grippy feeling. It
tones the entire system and forti-
fies against further attack. That
is the treatment a cold requires!
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
is effective, but harmless. Con-
tains no narcotics and produces
no bad after-effects. For years
it has been the reliance of thou
sands in all cases of colds and
grippe. Every drug store in Amer.
ica sells Groves Laxative Bromo
Quinine. Handy, pocket-size, Gel
lophane-wrapped. Get it today.
Resent a substitute.

COPPER PRODUCERS
WILL HOLD PARLEY
Conference Planned to Dis
cuss Prices With ReIa-
tion to Tariffs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2s.-Another
conference Of world copper producers
to discuss sterilization will be held here
Immediately after the presidential elec-
ton. it was reported in Wall Street.
Representatives Of the Union Miniere
du Haut Katanga, Belgian controlled
copper property in South Africa, will, it
is understood, arrive in New York early
in November, but it has not been def
nitely decided whether the representa-
tives of the Roam Antelope and Rho
kama Corporation. both foreign pro-
ducers, will arrive at the same time.
Conferences are not likely to start, 1t
was said in copper circles today. until
the British Parliament has acted on
the proposed tariff on copper, giving
preferential treatment to the empires
copper output. However, it Is probable
that conference with representatives
of Katanga, Roam Antelope, Rhokana,
Rio Tinto and the principal Canadian
producers will be under way in New
York by the middle Of November Pre-
liminary discussions between individual
producers will in all probability precede
the general parley.
Copper interests here say they have
no doubt that producers in Africa are
In favor Of concerted plan for meeting
the present situation with a minimum
Of delay. 1t is recognized in all quar-
tiers that, irrespective of the effect of
tariffs on world copper markets, the
main problem remains of arriving at
some acceptable method of keeping pro-
duction from increasing unduly with
improvement in copper consumption
under more favorable business condi-
tionS.

Grain Market
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, October 2s.-Unusual
steadiness characterized grain values
early today. A reason given was that
Liverpool wheat quotations showed fair
strength, and that cables reported
scarcity Of nearby deliveries OF wheat
in Great Britain.
Opening at "a of to Il up, Chicago
wheat futures held near afterward to
the initial limits. Corn started at a
shade decline to 4 advance and sub
sequently varied but little.
Sagging tendencies which developed
later in Chicago wheat values were ac-
counted for as due more to dearth of
purchase orders than to an increase of
selling pressure. The market appeared
to be largely a drifting one. Some COM
ment was heard that a decline today
to below As cents for December wheat
contracts here brought the price down
to within 2 cents Of what wheat sold for
344 years ago In England, but that the
was in 1887 and 1888, when wheat in
England changed hands at 9 cents a
bushel
'Bearish traders in wheat put consid-
cradle stress on Argentine advices to-
day that wet weather continued. This
was construed as favorable to crop
progress, though some mention has
been made Of likelihood that continued
dampness would lead to rust danger.
Curtailment of wheat receipts in Can
ada continued, today's arrivals but 634
cars, compared with 1,403 the corre-
spending day last year. Corn and oats
receded with wheat
Provisions reflected downturns of hog
values.

STOCKS IN RALLY
AS MARKET CLOSES
Late Gains Follow Day of Un.
certain Price Movements.
Trading Small.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 28.-Prices
rallied in the stock market today most
ly because Of repurchases by profess
sional traders who had put out commit
ments for the decline.
Finding that no liquidation was forth
coming despite all the unfavorable news,
the professionals retired their contracts
and quotations advanced. The best
prices wer made in the last half hour.
The only encouraging thing in the
commodity markets was the strength in
silver, which may have had some ef-
feet on stocks. Silver was up 43 to
81 points. Rubber advanced but sugar
was weak. Sterling exchange came back
a point in relatively quiet trading.
A feature in the bond market was
a sharp advance in the Baltimore &
Ohio issue maturing next year. 1t led
to reports Of a more favorable offer to
holders. In general the railway specu-
lative bonds were strong.
Presumably the buying held the list
steady during the early trading was
largely short covering. There was MOTH
ing in the news to encourage commit
ments for the advance in stocks. The
Bethlehem Steel report was about what
had been expected and in any case !,
added nothing to what was ALREADY
known about the steel industry. There
was no rally in commodities to encour-
age speculation in stocks. so that abou,
all that was left to account for the
show of firmness was the retirement o'
contracts for the decline.
In a market entirely in the control Of
the professionals and with the news un-
favorable, it IS easy to bring about al
oyersold condition. Once that is rectl-
fed, trading relapses into the old nut
That seemed to be the status OF affair:
today and it is likely to continue until
after election.
There were a few places where quie'
accumulation was apparently going on
One was in Kennecott Copper. another
in American Can-although that might
also have been partly short covering
another in Canadian Pacific and anoth-
er in Texas Co. In none OF these cases
was there any important change In the
price. but the support was there, ready
tc take stock If and when offered.

An hour later when I arrived in my room
near the race track kennels 1 saw small
package on my dresser. Immediately thinking
of the good luck that was supposed to happen
to me, I eagerly opened it and saw inside
fine new gold watch costing at least so cash
dollars There was note also.
The note said, Dear Eddie, old boy, have

THE elderly gentleman seemed somewhat
puzzled He said We'll he looks like a
good dog, anyway. l believe he would make
a nice companion for my little boy Clarence,
aged g. Tell you what III do-1u give you
SIS for him. That's good generous offer"
laughed forgivingly and said 1T may sur
prise you, sir, to hear that no more than
week ago the owner of this dog was offered
cash sum of $500 for him"
The gentleman said That is outrageous
No dog in the world is worth $500. Well,
am staying at the Roney Plaza on the beach,
and if ever you change your mind let me

At this point girl sitting alone on nearby
park bench spoke up. She said, Some per
sons cannot appreciate the unusual in dog.
May 1 ask sir if that fine looking animal is
truly Lightning Flash, the famous racing grey
hound about which the papers have printed
so much these past few months?'
I admitted modestly it was none other, for I
could see right away the girl was no nominal
girl and knew real dog flesh when she it.
Also she was pretty and had nice figure. 1

not much of a hand with the ladies'
"A /E naturally got into a conversation, and
w told her the history OF Lightning Flash,
and when this was done, two hours later We
went to a cold drink stand and had a drink.
She then informed me her name was Lillian
Smith, and that she was the personal maid
Of Miss Fiji Marcelle, a famous actress of the
films, who then sojourning in the city.
During the drink 1 politely said, 1T must
be very interesting to work for movie queen,
Miss Smith
She said: "If you don't mind, please call me
Lillian. And I'll call you Eddie"
She blushed, and I may say at this point If
there is any girl am partial to it is the girl
who bushes.

work for a movie queen. Miss Marcelle, luck

success-a success. I may mention, that Is

This naturally made me curious, and po-

{ HE said We'll, Miss Marcelle sincerely be-

all powerful. She has a perfume for every
mood known to mankind.
"She even has good luck perfume and
when she uses this she says some good luck Is
bound to happen to her-and 1t always does

perfume on her neglige and the very next
hour special delivery letter arrived that con-
tanned check for overdue alimony from her
third husband.
But do not let me talk forever on this bore
some subject Please tell me what Is the best
time in which Lightning Flash has made the
three-quarters hurdle?"
I told her this. as she plainly was a true
dog-racing fan, and also took the opportunity
to add some of his other marvellous achieve

walked to her hotel, and there I made date

what was the trouble.

Our Dentists

Seattle has three Negro dentists.
For city with as small Negro pop
ulation as Seattle this is splendid
quota of people who address their
attentions to the expert care of a
particular portion of the human body
and therefore are, of a necessity,
restricted in practice. A survey, re-
Gently, shows that each of these
specialists is doing well.
While none of the three specialists
is dependent entirely on Negro pat
ronage each reports an increase in
the number of Negro patrons.
This latter fact is a tribute to the
growing intelligence of the race. 1t
mean that Negroes in the rank and
file have learned to have confidence
in the training and ability of the
Negro dentist.
