NEW YORK, April 20.-Spectacular

Transactions were on a broad scale.
They represented on the one hand
Iioufdation of U. S. Government loans
and high grade railroad and PUBLIC

purchases of Junior rails that had been
approaching default. as well as pubic
utility debentureS and mortgage issues

Another phase Of the market was the

several South American countries

CURB STOCKS RISE
TO NEW HIGH MARK

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 2o.-Forty o.
more active shares on the Curb Ex-
change today climbed to new heights
for the year as trading continued broad
and brisk.
Electric Bond & Share at times was
up more than q point. Standard OH
of Indiana advanced more than twice
that amount. Cities Service was up
only fractionally. Niagara Hudson Power
rose about half point.
Belated ofncial recognition Of the TACT
that the United States went on the
gold standard-which technically took
place March sand expectation OF some
sort OF imitation caused stocks - well
as commodities TO advance.
Metal shares were the first OF the
commodity securities to soar. A long
list of metals, including Aluminium Co.
of American common. Aluminium, Ltd;
New Jersey Zinc, United Verde Exten-
sion, Shattuck- Dem. Newmont Mining,
Hollinger Consolidated Gold, Pioneer
Gold and Wright Hargreaves, climbed
to new high levels for the year.
Humble OIL. Standard OIL Of Indiana.
Standard Of Kentucky. Imperial OIL.
Ltd, and international Petroleum were
among the Standard Oils that sprinted
into new high territory. Gulf Oil was
the outstanding strong issue In the
miscellaneous oil division.
Taking their cue from grain price
trends, such companies as are directly
dependent on that industry moved for
ward In impressive fashion. Deere &
Co. led the procession. with Novadel
Agene and Quaker Oats Immediately
after it.
Next came the various mail order and
farm store stocks, like Montgomery
Ward A, Butler Brothers and National
Bellas Hess, all Of which reached new
1888 tops. The dairying industry re-
ported a strengthening In its products,
which helped Carnation Co. Some OF
the food distributor such as Great At

Naturally, some Of the food shares re-
acted. Horn g. HardArt, restaurant
chain, sold OF after its initial bulge.

For love is worth all it costs,
Anything it costs
Tears, prayers, shame, suffer-

Loneliness, heartaches-a grave.
Love is worth anything.
Life is worth anything.
I'm proud because I've learned
it;
Proud because I've risked it
And no matter what the learn
ing cost
I hope there'n be more to buy,
more to pay,
More living, more loving
Forever, more!
And if there isn't any more?
If this is all there is?
Then still I'll be proud;
Still glad I'm born!
And if, in that last moment
Before the long darkness,
I shall see Death stand wait

Earned money
And lost it;
Made a name
And muffed it;
Dreamed great visions;
Two-timed 'em all
YET GONE ON BEING PROUD!
Why?
Listen!
Listen and learn for me;
For this goes for you
AS we'll as for me.
Why'm proud?
I'm proud because I have life;
Because, out of all the things
I might have been,
I was born a human

Once in a million times

Even though I'm a liar;
And once in a million times

I'm proud I could dream,
Even though I wallowed;
Proud I could pray,
Even while I blaSphemed;
Proud that something in me
Was always taller,
Always finer,
Always whittier
Than my outward acts.
Most of all, I'm proud
Because I've loved;
Because I dared to demand

Dared to risk everything I had
In the service of love;
Dared to go on loving

Another Peril

The new Norris Amend
ment does more than reduce
the probability of a time
killing filibuster to a mini

planation of the provision
that, while the newly elected
Congress goes in on January
l after the election in Novem-
ber, the newly elected Presi-
dent does not 60 in until Jan
uary 20.
Under the law, in the event,
not probable but always pos
sible, that no candidate for
the Presidency receives a ma
jority of the electoral votes
the decision is thrown into
the House of Representatives.
The House which decided un-
DER the old system was not
that just elected, and thus re-

pie, but the old House, which
may have been repudiated in

ONCE OVERS
Giving Gifts


There cannot be much joy
in giving or in receiving if COM
plant is heard constantly
about the amount of money ex-
pended to procure seasonable
presents.
Zoo often the heads Of fam
lilies do a lot of grumbling
when bills come in at the end
of the month for gifts that
were purchased, even by the
one who makes the complaint.
Don't make gifts if it hurts
you to pay for them.
The greatest value is lost to
the recipient and the donor is
robbed of the pleasure he
might gain from gift-giving.
Giving expensive presents to
the family and afterward re-
minding them of the cost and
how foolish it was to make
such expenditures creates dis
pleasure.
Perhaps in the spirit of a holi-
day time you are tempted to
go beyond your means in max
ing purchases.
If so, that is your affair and
it is nothing for which you can
blame others, is it?
Be a good sport when you
overstep your financial ability
in remembering your family at
holidays and birthdays.
Do a little thinking before
you spend, and don't complain
afterward.

The Ohio Plan


Several women in an Ohio
town who entertain extensively
have organized what they call
a Dinner Protective Associa-
tion."
Its most important rule is
that meals shall be served at
the appointed time irrespective
of how many invited guests are
late.
It's a good plan and one that
should spread over the entire
country.
Even with kitchen improve
ments a dinner is never half so
good as it might be if it has
to stand a half hour or longer
before serving.
Those who are invited out
should feel comp limented
enough to be on time.
In fairness to a hostess, q
guest should do his or her part
to make a dinner party sue
cess, just as the entertainer
hopes it will be.
The first requisite of a guest
is to arrive at the time speci-
fled.
Many people are noted for
the fact that they never are on
time.
To be always late is not a de-
sirable distinction.

poor management more than
anything else and not q credita-

Illustration of
The Lame Ducks

We recently had an illus
tration, two years ago, of
how it worked. A member
from Tennessee had taken
his position with the Ad-
ministration in favor of it's
Muscle Shoals policy. That
issue was made against him
in the primaries, and the
President interested him
self openly in this mans
behalf in a purely party
contest for the nomination.
Even with this support this
man barely received the
nomination. The issue per-
sisted in the election, and
this gentleman was defeated
at the polls.
Then he returned to Wash
ington, a lame duck, for the
short session.
Another effort was made
to put the Administration
The Washington times., 1933-01-27

, measure through, but mem
bers were loath to assume a
leadership for it. This lame
duck, repudiated by the peo-
pie, on this very issue, as
sumed the leadership. He had
nothing to lose by defiance or
the public will.
An Incubator of
Filibusters
These efforts to pass un-
popular legislation inimical
to the public interest in lame
duck Congresses have been
responsible for many fill
busters. A filibuster is never
an edifying spectacle in a
legislative a SIS m bly,. It's
avowed purpose is to stop the
wheels of legislation, to put
an end to public business.
But it is easy to imagine cir
cumstances under which it
can be justified-in a lame
duck Congress. After the
people have distinctly spoken
against any policy any effort
to push it through with the
votes of men who have been
repudiated upon it, in the
short session after their de-
feat, can legitimately be met
with a filibuster.
That has been the explana-
tion Of more than one. For
a lame duck Congress is an
incubator of filibusters. One
way to end them is to put an
end to the stupid policy of
permitting repudiated men,
bers to legislate after their
reputation. That has now
been done.
The Washington times., 1933-01-27

ures-of all the forms of self
expression. That is probably
why the average girl finds it
so hard to CHOOSE among
them.
A man always knows what
he wants, in life-and goes
right after it.
A woman knows she wants
something-if she could only
decide what it IS!
She wants but little-a little
of everything. A little love, a
little freedom, a little home, a
little career; a little excitement
and a little contentment. But,
alas, like sunflowers and shade
