1t was a w; rm afternoon in June,

Ben Allen sat cogitatin- on the
grass-covercd banks of I swift flow

his pent-up desires. Down there the

that she escaped from the reforma-

CITY, Ben began ID ponder the mat
ter. He became dissatisfied with
himself for letting a colortd girl
spurn his attention. He thought of
the trouble and inconvenience that
he had PLACED himself to just to be
disappointed. The thought nearly
drove him mad.
They were speeding along in ST

Anne's thoughts were centered
around her narrow escape from the
clutches u this l~ascivious beast.
Presently the cleaning headlights

The driver checked the speed Of his
car. There vas a road at the end
of the bridge which followed the
stream. he turned down that
road a few yards and stopped.

monisho Anne.
Yeah" growled Ben. and right
in that creek you go if you do not
do as l say. You lave made a
monkey out of me long enough"
Ben had become adamant and
heartless. He lost his temper; he
reverted to the savage. He drew
a revolver. Anne began to realize
how grave the situation was becom-
ing. She began to think of some
way out OF the dilemma: some way

Can't you see, nd, what you

Ben listened %intently. He thought
of his wealth: his social position or

the latter required a little more

MARKET ACTION
STIMULATING
OPTIMISM
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR


NEW YORK, June IA GN.SJ.
Wall Street today leaned to the
constructive side, as the markets
action yesterday stimulated
optimism.
A sharp sell-off had been gen.
orally expected, due to profit
taking and the bonus vote, but
neither brought any material
pressure. This would seem to
confirm the belief that the big
liquidation has been completed,
which would be an encouraging
development.
The change in the attitude
was reflected shortly before the
close when word went around not
to be short of the market.
Some are going so far as to
predict an uptrend lasting a
month or more; but just one
week would look very good right
now.

SMALL BUYERS
j ARE WARNED
KEEP OUT
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director Of New York University Bu-
reau of Business Research

Dy LEWIS DANEA
Director Of New York University Bu-
reau of Business Research
My advice to the small in
vestor is:
Do not be drawn into buying
stocks now.
There may be another moderate
mark-up or jiggle. I understand
that several pools" are planning
operations las soon as Congress
adjourns."
Have Tasted Blood
Some operators have tasted
blood in the recent drives CT
Shorts-may be emboldened to
make further efforts. At least,
they will try to support the
market while working off any
stocks they have accumulated.
But Congress has not ad-
journed, nor do we know what it
may do before it quits, The
short interest is being greatly re-
duced, thus weakening the tech
nical position.
We should amember that the
recent run-up was based entirely
on technical conditions, largely in
q few stocks.
No Place to Risk Savings
Thus there is no basis whatever
for putting hard-earned money
for savings into stocks. To do so
now. or on. any nearby rallies,
would be pure gambling, and
should not be undertaken except
by those who want to gamble and
can afford that luxury.
So keep cool. Note that last
week the composite stock market
averages closed from / to 3 points
lower than a week ago; industrials
lost about 2 points on the week,
rails point, utilities 3 points.
Bonds were about 81 lower at
the end of the week. It cannot
yet be said that the downward
trend has been reversed.
Above all, however, is the fact
that fundamental conditions are
not right for any sustained recOv-
cry. Commodity prices are as
weak as ever. Steel production and
car lOadingS are off. Earnings are
still declining and dividends being
cut or omitted. Second quarter
reports lie ahead.
On top of these facts we find
UnfaVOrable conditions elsewhere.
