GENEVA, Switzerland, May 18.-The
rapid sequence of events in the last
few days has largely placed the destiny
OF the Disarmament Conference in the
hands of President Roosevelt and Chan
cellor Hitler, in the view of many con-
ference delegates.
The influence Of these two men, II
was said today, constitutes a powerful
factor in directing the course OF the
conference. which awaits concrete inl-
tiatives on their part.
The Roosevelt message to the world
and the Hitler Reichstag address gen.
erally were regarded as clearing the air
and producing a new and more hopeful
atmosphere.
Seek Further Information.
Delegates indicated eagernesS to kno"
how far America was disposed 10 go IN
what Geneva regards as completing
the machinery of peace. Particularly,
they desired to know whether tne
Washington government was olSposeo
to accept in principle such things as:
l. Rigid international control oi
2, Participation in world pact OF
non-resort to force.
3. Helping the League in determining
4 Refraining from helping an ag-
pressor once this determination hao
been effected.
5. Participation in any arms embargo.
6. Abandonment OF the rights OF neu-
trality in the event Of an outbreak OF
war
Geneva recognized that the United
States, like England, uncer its politlcai
system cannot give blanket promises IN
advance. but must adopt an attitude
when a particular world disturbance
arises.
Today's Session Called on.
But the opinion was expressed by
conference delegates that an announced
disposition to boycott breaker OF the
peace would prove salutary in inducing
armed nations to reduce their arms.
This opinion was based on the theory
that such an announcement would les
sen the chances of invasion and OF
wars.
Geneva found hope in Chancellor
Hitler's declaration that Germany was
ready to accept new obligations In
security pact provided that pact was
international in scope.
This was widely interpreted here as
meaning that Germany desires Ameri-
can participation in measures TO out-
law war
Arthur Henderson, president Of the
Disarmament Conference, postponed
today's session to tomorrow to permit
the delegates to study the Roosevelt and
Hitler messages.
Norman H. Davis. American repre-
sentative, is expected to arrive tomor-
row. Count Rudolf Nadolny, the Ger
man delegate, is flying from Berlin.

NEW YORK, January 18-After
opening strong today, Curb Exchange
prices eased around midday, but the
decline was accompanied by a de-
creased volume of trading.
Electric Bond & Share was slightly
off from its best price of the first
hour. Cities Service recovered its carly
loss, as did Standard Oil of Indiana.
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore was
steady, Commonwealth Edison cancelled
its early rise.
The decreased electrical output and
the gain both in oil production and
gasoline stocks, along with crude oil
price reductions, checked the early
strength of public utility and petroleum
securities. On the other hand, the slight
gain in steel operations failed to have
Q constructive effect, because steel prices
have been unofficially lowered, which,
Of course, is preliminary to further

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 18.-There
was some evidence today OF the re-
purchase Of bonds that had been sold
recently, and on this demand prices
for Treasury issues and number OF
the German dollar obligations rallied
On the other hand there was further
profit taking or liquidation in corpora
ton bonds, which sold below the pre-
Yious prices for the movement
The recovery in Treasury loans ran

a. times during the session there were
reactlonary tendencies in this section
of the market.

rcse IL points in the forenoon and
some of the German corporation issues
were up even more, as part of a COW
ering Of commitments put out since
Monday Argentine bonds were again
heavy with the Is off liz points.
High-grade railroad mortgages like
Atchison AIS, Union Pacific as and
Oregon Washington As were fractionally
lower There was a general decline,
ranging from y to a point. IN the
Canadian National Railway loans Rail-
road junior bonds held up moderately
WELL although they were inactive.
In the industrial list there was a
tendency toward shading Of prices
Dodge IS declined a point and we're

Goodyear SIS also lost point. Most of
the issues of the oil companies, both
those of a speculative and investment

An advance of point in North Am

Various Uses for
Bottles and Jugs
Modern Glassware May Be
Turned to Excellent
Account.

Old glass has u rare charm for
many collectors. who delight in the
delicate shapes and colors and slen-
der beauty of Venetian glass, the
wonderful steely blue color of rare
Waterford, and the rather sturdy
patterns of Early American glass,
with its quaint names, such as Rose
in the Snow, which is a favorite de-
sign of the writer's. Even the crud-
ity of the old glass blowers work
has its interesting significance.
One who is not Initiated into the
types and distinguishing features Of
glassware can stin find pleasure in
artistic forms and shapes and good
designs, though they may be far from
unusual. Also such a person may be
oe a practical turn of mind and ike
TO put pieces TO good use. Some
utilitarian purposes are suggested
which may help lessen expenditures
for household accessories without
robbing them Of ornament.
Well-chosen bottles can be trans
formed into candlesticks just as
large bottles are often used for cleo
tric lamp bases. The bottles put TO
the lamp base use were once used as
regular bottles TO contain liquids
The candlesticks may be selected be-
cause antique but commercial bot
ties are today also made in grace
full shapes and of clear glass They
DO not have TO wait for the passage
Of time to date them as antique be-
fore they are considered worthy TO
be candlesticks or lamp bases.
Among my purchases during the
past winter were oil, vinegar, syrup,
etc. Each came in such an attractive
bottle that TO throw it away seemed
to be insulting its graceful dignity.
And so / slowed them on the closet
shelf or on window sill, where they
lent decoration. while ! was con-
sidering their best uses.
Perhaps ii may be suggestive TO
note their present uses. One pair Of
charming pitcher-bottles now serves
as candlesticks on rare old mahog-
any dressing table. They suit well
this period Of furniture. especially
when the Pickering torchlike flames
give illumination on each side Of the
mirror and reflect in waYering
brightness therein. No streams OF
liquid wax are allowed TO remain on
