STOCKS HOLD FIRM
IN PROFIT TAKING
Market Absorbs Considerable
Realizing After Recent
Advance in Prices.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-The real
significance to be attached to today's
week end stock market was the manner
In which it absorbed the realizing con-
sequent upon the rapid advence of
Thursday and Friday.
At the opening the list was irregular,
with the rails strong and the indus
trials and utilities a shade lower, but
as the session went on prices slowly
advanced until most of the leaders
were selling at least fractionally above
the best of the recovery.
Character of Market.
There were few wide price movements
either way at any time. The market
seemed to be consolidating its gains,
and, taking into account the natural
inclination Of professional traders to
even up accounts over Sunday, its action
was distinctly encouraging. At one
time or another United States Steel,
American Telephone & Telegraph,
American Can and Allied Chemical sold
above Fridays high Moreover, the
market was more active when prices
we're advancing than when they were
selling off
The rails were consistently support
ed This was regarded as good sign.
The market for the carrier shares took
its cue from that for the correspond
ing bonds and was influenced by in
creasing confidence that satisfactory
adjustment Of the wage situation would
be reached. With regard to the in
dustrials, the reaSsuring thing was the
character Of the stocks selected for
leadership
Not much attention was paid to re-
ports that Germany would formally
announce q decision 10 pay no more
reparatfons whatever. The Street re-
manned of the opinion that the next
important move from the other side
would be constructive.
There was not much news affecting
individual stocks. Local fractions were
fare, but speculative interest in these
securities was largely confined to the
bonds. Timken Roller Bearing was
strong and one or two of the amuse-
ment shares were bid up. On the
other hand the tobacco stocks yielded
somewhat and oils were inclined to
drag.
Motor Shares Steady.
Auburn sold off in the last half hour,
but that was to have been expected
after Fridays 10-point advance. In
general the low prices were made
toward the end, when even some Of the
rails came down as well as the utilities
and industrials. Motor stocks were
steady in anticipation of good results
from the annual automobile show open
ing today.

Short Selling.

NEW YORK, January (speciaD -
1t Is the opinion of an important capt.
talist, who in years gone by was q
prominent figure in Wall Street, that
the public's appetite for short selling of
stocks has become very keen and that
they will buck the market in every
period of advance and eventually face
heavy losses in their bear position, as
they did in following stocks In the bull

psychological hurdles, he is ready for the real physical examination
 This is conducted in dark room twenty feet long and eight feet wide. The all-important eyes are tested first. Each is examined fol visual acuity with illuminated let. ter charts, then comes the test fol color blindness. If he cannot tel red from green, he is rejected i'm. mediately. Next is the eyeball bal. ance test. Balance of the eye * controlled by six very delicate mus cles that act like rubber bands, one pulling and the opposite one stretch ing when the eye is moved.
 This balance may change greatly in a short time, according to the strain placed on the eyes. Extreme fatigue. for instance, may cause the eyes to be pulled so that one looks out. of the outer corners. In such case, there is a blind spot directly in front. After a long and tiring drive, the motorist is likely to de- velop this fault unconsciously. He will have wide field of vision, but may not see something direct ly in front of him, which explains his T didn't see it" assertion after an accident.

worth putting down for the sake of the record the two best spurts we had the thrill of seeing all this season.
 They were Gene Sarazens out going nine, in g on his last round in the National Open at Fresh Meadow and Francis Ouimet's first nine in an even 30 against George Voigt in the first round of Na- tional Amateur championship match play.
 Both were superlative perform ances, under pressure, with the hottest kind of rivalry to contend with. Here's Sarazen's card with par:
 Par out--444 354 443--35 Sarazen out-453 253 442-32
 And here's how Ouimet blasted Voigt out of the picture:
 Par out-444 354 443-35
 Ouimet out-343 PA 343-3a
 Sarazen finished his fun round ln 66, four shots under par.
 Ouimet, for 3 holes, was six under par with total of A Blows. He needed par on the last five holes at Five Farms for a 64. which would have set an alI-timc scoring record for any American cnamplonshlp, open or amateur.

COWS IN SHADE PRODUCE BETTER
 GRADE OF MILK

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 12.-A giant umbrella" has been devis- ed by J. E. Foster, veteran dairy man near here, to make his COWS give richer milk.
 Foster said exhaustive tests showed COWS sheltered from excess sive sun heat gave milk witf greater butter fat content. So he originated big shed-like contriv- ance mounted on four strong up- right tinbers. which is dragged about his pasture as the suns changes in position require, to fur nish shade to his animals through out the day.
 Foster first began to think about the matter when he noticed that COWS milked at night gave per cent less butter fat than those mixed in the morning after hours free from the suns rays.

Hare You c ''Blind Spot?" Eye Tests RereaI Cause
 Of Many Auto Accidents

Ihere IS the screech of a horn
 the scream of brakes and thf
 grinding of metal on metal. Ar lrate motorist climbs from his cal
 to inspect smashed fender, ther turns belligerently to the drive, ' who hit his car.
 1 Well, what's the idea?" he in.
 quires.
 I'm sorry responds the mar who has caused the damage, ",
 didn't see you"
 | Didn't see!" expostulates tn damaged one, tits clear daylight
 and straight road. You must bt i blind"
 I'm not blind-but I didn't sec
 you reiterates the other with a
 perplexed air.
 l The same statement is heard daily wherever accidents occur, writes H.
 w. Magee in Popular Mechanics Magazine. A driver hits something he later admits was in plain sight, 1 but maintains, T didn't see it." He actually did not see some thing directly in front of him on straight road in broad daylight! The reason = even more startling is that he was partly blind tenn porarily and did not know it be- cause he had developed a blind spot" affecting a particular area of his vision.
 Other drivers scrape the curb, scratch an occasional fender, try to park in a space too small or at tempt to pass another car and duck back into line to avoid a head-on collision. They say they are poor judges of distance, but would never agree that they could not see straight. Yet it is the eye, rather than the judgment, that is at fault Such drivers should take literally the ironic advice to Ego have your eyes examined!"
 If they accept such an invitation, they could not find better place than the health laboratories of one of the big air transport companies. Here eyes are studied with meticul- ous care, for on the eye of trans port pilot may often depend the lives of dozen or more passengers, ship worth $75,0OO and a cargo of valuable mail and express mat ter. The motorist with defective vision may survive, but the pilot with poor eyes is almost certain to meet disaster.
 For this reason, pilots of the United Air Lines must undergo eve tests each month and also submit to a thorough physical examina- tion. The flight surgeon who keeps the pilots fit to fly is pr. Edmund H. Padden.
 Pilots must be basically sound physically, so the applicant answers many questions about the general condition of his health and if he has any chronic or recurrent ail- ment. Finally his domestic life and his economic status are gone into, because pilot cannot keep his mind on his job if he has serious financial or domestic dif- faculties.
 Mental Make-Up
 By. this time the doctor has a very good idea of the applicants mental makeup, his intelligence, personality and general disposition. If he has passed the mental and

 At one time herring were more numerous in the lake than any other fish. Half the catch was herring and the yields ranged from 18,000,OO0 to 39,OOOOOO pounds a year.
 Then the herring almost disap- peared Other fish have had their periods of disappearance too, such as perch, sheephead, caugers and white fish. But they all came back after year or two. Not so with the herring.

SPORT SLzAN'T'S \AAlM CID

The question came up recently as to just how we'll come of the old-time golfers. Walter J. Travis, for example, would fare against the top-totchers of today.
 The Old Man" would be tremendous disadvantage on the side of length. against some of the maulers of present-day golf balls. But his short game probably would make up for a lot of ground lost through the fairways.
 "The answer would be hard to find, however" remarked Archie Reid, of New York, for years a prominent tournament player and q contemporary of Travis. The Old Man adapted his game to con- dttions much different than those existing today. The courses, the equipment and the ball have all changed a great deal.
 On the whole too, the game has improved. You noticed how well chan Egan did in this years amateur championship, qualifying easily 27 years after he last held the national title. He told me his own game was much better, that he was hitting longer bah than ne did in his younger days. The clubs in use today offer a wide range of shots. There is a club for every shot.
 still, we must credit Travis and his great successor, Jerome D. Ira vers for effecting the greatest im- provement in putting in perhaps the games entire history. They were the first to establish the method of striking putts."

GREAT GOPHER BACK TRYING TO
 GET BIG BERTH
Minnesota Steer Jack Manders After AL
 America Position

MINNEAPOLIS, vet. 12.-Light- CT, faster and mtyedly tougher Jack Manders, Minnesota's candi- date for all-American fullback this year, also is right up ct the front in the battle for the title of the hardest man to stop in the Big Ten"
 By lighger it is meant that in- stead of 210 pounds he now weighs only 200.
 By faster, let 1t be known that instead of requiring 11.8 seconds to travel 100 yards in mcleskins he now paces that distance in Il flat-and sometimes less.
 When it comes to toughness, Manders had little room for im- provement. He is seldom hurt, but tacklers find that contact with him is something like grabbing into a wild and unfettered steer.
 He is solid, always in condi- tion, strongly built, big-boned.
 III Oredt Snape
 When he reported flor practice he was weeks ahead of the phys ical condition he has reported in during the last three years.
 He has two years of experience with the regulars packed away among his assets and has learned most of the trick of defense in particular the art not only of knocking down passes by the op- position, but of intercepting them and doing something with the ball after he has it.
 He won the post of all-confer- ence fullback with plenty to spare last year after sensational work against Northwestern, Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin.
 He was the most consistent ground-gainer among the Gophers adding to his plunging talent long, yardage runs made on spurts off, tackle.
 Follows Great Pair
 Now he is after bigger game a place on the All-American squad which has drawn heavily on Goph- e. fullbacks in recent years.
