"A SMILES THE THING

News Item Now when you go to buy chair, In New York town, most any
 where, You'll find it pure, without X stain, g The thing is wrapped in
 cellophane. No dust gets on the davenport, Or any furniture, that sort. And germs, why they are far away, Since eellophane has come to
 stay. You ask to see parlor rug, And then for dad shaving
 mug, It comes to you, sans dust or stain, Three cheers again for
 eellophane, And if a lamp you fain would see, Or something new. in tapestry, Through eellophane you take
 peek,
 It's shipped in eellophane next
 week. You'll soon kiss gals through
 eellophane.
 It's sanitary, that's quite plain. You'll hug her eellophanie waist. With eellophanie corset laced, In eellophane, your love will glide She'll be your eellophanic bride And when baby boy you gain, The kid will come in eellophanc.

ceived the highest commendation

Itinerant Truck
Activities Told
To State Board

That the activities of itinerant
truckers to and from Imperial VAL
ley, if permitted to continue, will
spell doom to legitimate businesses
engaged here in the marketing of
farm produce, was the opinion ex-
pressed today by George Jones of
the Girard company, Brawley, be-
fore meeting of the state railroad
commission.
The commission today was en-
gagged in a general hearing on the
activities of trucks hauling produce
into and out of Imperial Valley
The hearing continued this after
noon.
Jones, one of the witnesses
called this morning, told the COM
miSsioners he did not believe that
the consumer derives any benefit
from the activities of truckers who
haul produce to Los Angeles and
sell for what they can get.
Instead, the witness declared, it
is his opinion the middleman takes
the profit, while both the trucker
and the consumer lose. Other
witnesses expressed opinions along
the same general lines.

Operations on the stock exchange
today were almost entirely profess
sional. Trading was at about the
same rates as in the preceding ses-
sion when only 100000 shares were
turned over and prices moved mar
roWly around previous closing levels.
Early in the day. moderate selling
carried the list down fractions to
more than point, but resistance of
U. S. Steel to pressure brought in
covering and the market turned up
in most sections.
Conditions on the bond market
were not as good as those on the
stock market. Railroad securities,
notably the Texas 8y Pacific issues
were hammered down. Amusements
were under pressure all day, losing
one to five points. u. S govern
ment loans turned weak, treasury
issues recording wide losses.
Commodity markets moved mar
roWly. Wheat gained slightly while
corn. held almost unchanged and
oats eased fractionally. Cotton fu-
lures gained slightly.
United States Steel featured the
stock market, rising to 20 from an
early low of 277s. Steel executives
at the American Iron and Steel In
stitute meeting were hopeful of the
future. Charles M. SchWab, chair
man of Bethlehem Steel corpora
ton. said five leading steel conf
panies in the first quarter were
$25, 100000 short of meeting interest
and other charges, but he was still
optimistic.
Omit Dividend
Directors of Crucible Steel omit
ted the dividend on the preferred
stock and the issue firmed up when
the bad news was out. Information
al Harvester rose fractionally or
declaration of the regular quarterly
dividend. Atlantic Coast Line made
new low on ommission OF the
dividend.
For a time the Coast Line omis-
sion brought the rails down, but
they rallied to above the previous
close in the majority of instances.
Utilities also were depressed for
time with several equaling or
making new lows. American Tele-
phone recovered from an early low
of 90A to 95A and held large
part of the gain.
