MARKET STAGES
+ THIRD DAYS
ADVANCE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 G.N.SO.
The stock market staged its third
successive advance today on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's dollar control
plan in the face Of heavy profit
taking.
The fresh rise, which ran to 6
points in the farm implement
stocks, was accompanied by a
further uprush in commodities.
Dollar Holds Own
The R. F. C: made its first gold
purchase today under the Admin
istration'S commodity price-raising
program. The price paid was
S31.36 an ounce, 81 cents above
the world gold price.
Despite this indication Of a
further depreciation in the dol
lar, the American currency was
stronger after yesterdays crash,
rising to 66.84 cents in terms OF
gold currencies from 66.27 cents at
the opening.
Stocks opened strong and then
ran into heavy profit-taking.
Fresh buying was attracted on
the sell-off and new rise got
underway at the end of the
first hour under the leadership
of the agricultural implement
stocks.
SteelS Defy News
Strength in the Steels came in
the face of further drop in
the industry's operations and
was based on the hope that
large rail orders would be re-
leased by the cut in prices a few
days ago.
N. Y. Central set the pace for
the rails, aided by rise in its
traffic last week. Atlantic Re-
filming was the strong spot in the
oils. Motors improved after
early sluggiShneSS,

STEEL RATE DIP
IS MORE THAN
8 POINTS

NEW YORK, Oct. IS GN.S0,
Following the completion of ship.
ments against third quarter con.
tracts, steel buying has reverted
to a hand-to-mouth basis, with
the result that another sharp
drop in production has been re-
corded. the weekly Iron Age Re-
view says today.
The national average for the
week, as reported by the Ameri.
can Iron and Steel Institute, is
31.8 per cent, a drop of more
than eight points from the Iron
Age estimate of a week ago.
Only One Area Up
The Chicago rate is off eight
points to 81 per cent of capacity:
Pittsburgh, four points to 80 per
cent; the Valleys, seven points to
As per cent; Cleveland, five points
to 80 per cent; Buffalo, 13 points
to % per cent; and the Ohio
River district, Is points to 35 per
cent.
The Wheeling district rate,
owing to resumption of opera
tions at Weirton. has risen from
so to SIS per cent.
Curtailment in the automobile
industry has been so sharp that
the months total will be nearer
10000 than 145,000 units, as
originally estimated. No volume
buying of steel by the automotive
trade is looked for until late in
the year.
The point is made that consum
ers generally have built up theH
stocks, and in some cases have
enough material, at the present
rate of operations, to last them
through the fourth quarter.
Tin Plate Bright Spot
Tin plate remains the only
really bright spot in the industry,
In fact tin mill output has been
increased to practical capacity
following the resumption Of ac-
tivity at the Weirton plant.
Although the undiminished flow
of tin plate specifications repre-
sents some stocking by consumers,
the bulk of current shipments 10
going directly into consumption.
Prices of finished steel. as re-
flected in the Iron Age Compos-
ite, are unchanged at 2036c a
pound, although next week they
will reflect the rail reduction,
which is effective October 30. An
advance in bars is reported to be
Under consideration.
The Iron Age pig iron compoS-
ite is unchanged at $1661 a gross
ton, but the scrap composite, re-
flecting declines at Chicago and
Philadelphia, has dropped from
$1O.54 to $1O.25 a gross ton.

Surrounded By Big Fortune in Emeralds,
Virginian Lives Here in Want
Col. Robert B. Miller
Unable to Market
Precious Stones

A million dollars in emeralds
and not one cent for cigarettes!
Is that a predicament or is that
a predicament?
Ask Col. Robert Baker Miller,
mining expert, friend Of governors
and Congressman, the great and
near-great, who has been trying
for year to dispose of a fortune
in emeralds and aquamarines.
Brooding over his frozen wealth
in a dingy K Street rooming
house, in room whose bed is sep
arated from the kitchen stove
only by a flimsy, soot-crusted cur
tain, the Colonel ekes out a pre-
carious existence while vainly
striving to realize money on his
gems. He has them in his pock-
cts, in a brief case, in ancient
tobacco sacks; in fact, all over
the house.
Buyers Scarce
He has been from Boston to
Hollywood, from Chicago to New
Orleans, trying to dispose of his
fortune, but no one, these days,
is interested in emeralds, he says,
even at depression prices.
Tall, big-boned, with iron-grey
hair scraggling over a massive
forehead, a robust frame that
hurls the lie at his "a years, he
presents the perfect picture of
the rugged Virginian whose life
has been spent in the open.
He wears a tropical suit
somewhat the worse for wear, 1t
must be confessed - starched
shirt front from which scintillate
two huge ruby studs, white
shoes and socks and the conven.
tionaI "shoe-string" tie. He
cackles heartily and swears pro.
fusely. His friendly slaps on the
back when he makes his sly digs
at life shake ones shoes as
much as the massive watch
chain sprawled over his cream
colored vest.
Born in Berkeley county, W.
Va, in the days when it was
part of the Old Dominion State,
the Colonel became interested in
mining at an early age, and in
his twenties was sent to Giles
county, Va, to look after some
mineral property.
Operates Mines
While there he saw rich de.
posits of magnetic iron ore, man
ganese, barium. strontium, zinc,
marble and onyx. During the
World War he made a fortune
out of manganese, and the In
terror Department prevailed upon
him to extend operations. He
bought 4,500 acres in Virginia and
settled down to mining with a
vengeance. On one trip into
Buckingham county he found evi-
dence of beryl, from which emer.
aids and aquamarines are de-
rived, and traced it from Pennsyl.
vania to the South Carolina line.
The Colonel got his title from
Governor Stuart, of Virginia,
He has been consulting engineer
for the United States Steel Cor
poration, consulting engineer for
the Standard Oil Company and
chief engineer for the V. and K.
road, an airline project from Nor
folk to Cairo, ILL.,, that was only
partly realized.
Hints at Romance
He has 300 carats of emeralds
and 5000 of aquamarines sawed
up" He's got 24,160 carats in the
rough. And with the market
value of emeralds $500 a carat,
and that for aquamarines 500
according to the Colonel-figure
out his fortune for yourself.
The Colonel is cagey about the

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.SJ,
Is the aged Tammany Tiger
about to have his teeth pulled
for good?
Is the first city of the land, a
model of organized corruption,
its treasury plundered, it's citizens
overtaxed for many electoral gen.
erations, about to give birth to a
new political deal?
Are the aroused forces of a
fresh outlook on social conditions
about to boil over in the defeat
and disintegration Of Tammany
Hall?
With the battle humming all
over the ring, these questions will
be answered next election day
and perhaps before.
LaGuardia Heads 1t
A strong fusion ticket is already
shooting away at Tammany. It
is headed by Maj. F. H. LaGuar-
dia, aggressive Republican ex-
Congressman, for mayor.
The remainder of the coalition
ticket is cleverly composed Of
names intended to wean large
blocs of Irish, Italian and Jewish
votes away from the rival Wig
wan camp.
But the major influences threat
ening the continued existence of
Tammany are as follows:
l. The taxation problem: The
city is on the verge of bank
ruptcy. The unemployed must
be fed and clothed. Money
must be raised without losing
votes. What to do?
No Patronage?
2. The Seabury investigation,
with it's revelations of civic
corruption and high finances"
in top places, eliminating in
the resignation of Mayor James
j. Walker.
3. Patronage (the bread of
politics.: There is small pros
pect of Federal patronage for
Tammany due to the lack of
sympathy of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration with the wigwam.
There is scarcely more hope
for State patronage because
of the similar lukewarm atti-
tude of Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man, Roosevelt protege.
4. Racketeering: United
States Attorney George z.
Medalie, Republican, testified
before the senatorial sub
committee on racketeering
that he could name four dis
trict leaders allied to gang
Sters. Medalie will go before
a grand jury today to make
good on the matter.
S. Internal fights in the
heretofore smooth-running
Tammany Democratic machine.
6. The political weakness of
Mayor j. P. O'Brien as Tam
many candidate to succeed him
self.

He was asked:

His reply was immediate:

Helpful Hints for
Housewives

For Storing Mittens and Socks
If you, have a coffee can
with a tight fitting top it will
serve very well for storing
small woolen clothing such as
socks and mittens during the
summer. It will keep the moths
out.
Keep Baby From Falling
Sandpaper baby's new shoes
on the soles and he will not
slip and fall so much.
A sweetmeat for the chill
dren, inexpensive and nourish-
ing, can be made from dates
rolled in fine desiccated cocoa
nut after blanched peanuts or
almonds have been inserted in
place of the stones.
If your curtain hooks have
become rusty, leave them to
soak in cloudy ammonia for
half an hour, after which they
will look like new.
Remove the burnt jelly or
jam to a clean pot, add a. cut
up potato and continue boiling
as before. The taste of the DO
tato will not be noticed and
neither will the burnt jelly.
To Keep From Burning Fingers
Place a cork on the metal
rings Of your kettle, and no
matter how hot the kettle be-
comes you will not burn your
fingers.
Spaghetti Water for Starching
Save the water that you
pour off fro:.l spaghetti. Keep
it in a corked bottle and use
it for Starching linens, etc.
To Keep Dust Off Food.
Dust will be prevented from
Cetting on the food, while free
air circulation will be per-
mitted, if you insert piece
of cheesecloth in an embroidery
hoop and place it over a dish
set outside to cool. The hoop
prevents the cloth from touch
ing the contents and from be-
ing blown away.

The Beauty
Box

To make the fashion grade
these days, the coiffure must
have professional guidance. The
time is past when a gell can wad
up pigtail shreds, rely on crimp-
ing pins. The hair must be cut,
feather-edged, maybe thinned,
if the head is to be shapely,
the wave stay smooth and
glossy. It's gratifying to top
off the spring outfit with the
elegant and flattering hair
dress; sets a woman up, Zipps
the spirits, makes pleasing that
familiar reflection in the look
ing glass. Coiffures must be Of
rather simple character, yet be
sufficiently decorative to meet
the demands of the mob.
This is the season for dry
skins. Sometimes a change Of
soap will retard the shuffling
off of skin scales, or a lighter
powder may help bring along
the reform. Don't fail to use
a creamy cosmetic twice a day,
just before going to bed and
as a cleansing medium for the
removal Of makup before
making a new face" for the
dinner table.

There is a realm called chill

Where long ago I wandered
In undisturbed delight.
There every voice was gentle
And every word was true;
And all the world before me
Unfolded, strange and new:
Each dweller there was kindly,
No thought of fear or i'll,
And time, who now goes flying,
In that glad place was still.

I enter there no more,

Far lovelier than Of yore.

Although women have en-
joyed more freedom during the
past decade than ever before in
the history Of the world, in
consequence of which they
have become less repressed and
mysterious, the fact remains
that they continue to puzzle
mere man about as much as
before.
CuriouSly enough, studies
aimed to solve the riddle Of the
female sex are almost invari-
ably written by men. Is this
because women understand each
other even less than men un-
derstand women?
Undoubtedly the marked in
dividuality of women has a lot
to do with these difficulties. In
other words, no two women are
alike. In fact, all women differ
markedly, and one never can
predict with any degree Of ex-
actitude how the female of the
species will react to any given
situation.
With men the problem is
much simpler. Moulded more or
less to a standard pattern,
thinking about alike on major
subjects, being as a rule de-
cidedly collectivistic rather than
individualistic, and seldom If
ever letting their emotions get
the better of them-well, it
usually is no difficult matter to
foretell how a man is going to
behave when confronted with a
certain set of circumstances.
Women are also more pro-
greSSive than men. Indeed,
they are so willing to change,
especially when it comes to CIV
ing up their names, families,
habits and the concepts of life
which have been educated into
them, that it should astoniSh
no one to find a woman an en-
tirelv different character and
personality from what she was
even a year or six months pre-
viouSly.
That their distinct emotional
ism, so definitely q motivating
factor in the female sex, is
something every woman holds
too much store by, goes without
saying. Although a woman
may feel best when she can
express her emotions, too many

why he has never asked me

and he never asks a girl out
if he can't give her a good
time, to his way of thinking.
But it's enough for me to
be near him. Just to go for a
ride would be Heaven, and
would only cost a few cents.

can I make him see this and
