letter from Pat. She has job and is
living with another girl. Gave no
address but promised one soon.
Am writing tonight. Mother"
Joan sat down and cried over
the telegram. the burden Of anx-
iety slipping from her with her
tears. Now she could bear look
ing out of the window at the mil
lions of lights. Pat was safe. Pat
had found work. Clever, efficient.
level-headed little Pat. Oh. II she
could only see her tonight!
It was a long while before Joan
, could think of her own new job.
She had been vaguely troubled at
the idea of singing in a night club
but had pushed aside her scruples.
The melodramatic plan to have
her wear mask changed all that.
She could sing at the "Jigsaw"
and no one would be wiser. Mask
ing seemed silly but 1t would
make the job much easier.
Blake had terminated the in
terview little abruptly. "There'll
be $50 a week for you in It. Per-
haps riore later on if the act goes
over"
Joan smiled. Fifty dollars
week was a fortune! She went
to the window ana looked oft at
the brilliant play of lights against
the velvet background of the sky;
the shining electrical display
dwarfing the stars. They seemed
like shining pin points in black
canopy. That was illusion. Small
things appearing big and vast and
infinite things seeming little and
unreal.
1T seemed cheap to sing in a
night club" she was thinking.
but when I took the job was
thinking Of finding Pat. Now it's
only fair to go through with it.
Besides l won't leave Pat in New
York. When I so home I want to
take her with me-"
Joan went to the small desk in

wrote; Darling Mother, you will

Don't be shocked about 1t. 1t

expect. He looks Just like any

nice as can be. They say he's just
a smart Yankee who's made lot

tertainment. Barney Blake Is his
name. One Of the girls told me
he went to college but didn't
want to practice law and some
how he turned out to be a night
club manager.

CURB. ISSUES DRIFT
TO LOWER LEVELS
Leaders Show Fractional
Losses, but Offerings Con-
tinue in Small Volume.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 28-After open
ing irregularly and somewhat dull,
prices on the Curb Exchange drifted
lower today, but without stimulating
offerings.
Electric Bond g. Share around mid
day was down a half point. American
Gas g. Electric was down about twice
that amount. Cities Service eased but
Standard Oil of Indiana retained its
fractional gain.
The constructive overnight news, such
as expanding retail and wholesale trade.
f1rming prices of many commodities
and stepping up OF industrial produc-
ton schedules, was partially Offset by
the weaker tone Of the American dol
lar abroad and the lower trend of
worldwide commodities in the FORE
noon
The softness of grains, especially
wheat, during this period was reflected
in the movements of Deere g. Co. and
Novadel Agene. National Sugar Re-
flning opened higher as early sugar
dealings showed signs of Steadiness.
Of the meat-packing shares The only
specific news from the latter trade was
the declaration of the regular dividend
by Trunz Pork.
Earnings of 81 cents share for the
first quarter of this year, in contrast
with. 40 cents in the same period of
1882, caused a recession in Niagara
Hudson Power.
In appraising public utility earning
trends, the investor probably will get a
better line on business If he watches
the electrical output figures, which tend
to forecast earnings rather than income
statements, which are past history.
Electrical consumption, and to les
ser extent natural gas use, are highly
sensitive industrial barometers, for
they cover large industrial regions.
Normally at this season both of these
types Of power register declines, 50 the
present improvement is all the more
impressive.

clared today, and in Mayfiower Asso-
ciates were the outstanding moves in

Grain Market
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 28-Material down.
turns of grain values took place early
today. Weakness was attributed largely
to active selling on the part of Eastern
holders.
Opening 14a1 cent lower, wheat
afterWard fell further. Corn started
at 1sa5s off, and continued downgrade
Tumbles of wheat prices carried the
market down to more than cents a
bushel under quotations last Monday
Numerous stop loss orders were forced
into execution. Some trade authorities
said inf1ationary measures appeared to
nave lost effect, and that in view of
crop improvement reports the market
was overbought.
Dearth of new purchasing became
apparent IN wheat, and the market
lacking any adequate support under
went an almost vertical drop as offer
ings found relatively few takers. In
some quarters Senate approval of plans
to lower the gold content In the dol
lar had been counted upon to attract
fresh wave Of public speculative buy
ing, but no such development resulted
in the face Of continued Eastern SELL
ing. On the contrary, influential op-
position shown in the Senate received
more notice among wheat traders than
the outcome of the vote did. Corn and
oats receded with wheat.

Dollar Makers
BY GEORGE T. EAGER.

Insistent demand for lower prices has
forced many manufacturers to put out
second and third line brands Of goods
to hold their volume.
A Western oil company, forced by
conditions to sell grade gasoline,
hands out a card with each purchase
thanking the customer for his purchase.
1t further explains that the company
Is just as appreciative Of the customers
patronage on this third grade as If he
were buying the best The hope is ex-
pressed that the customer will try one
of the better grades on the next pur-
chase.
The problem created by the Sec
ondary brand is the extent to which it
cuts into the sales of the standard line.
1t Is the experience of many manu-
facturers, however, that where strong
consumer demand exists for the leading
brand, and aggressive advertising Of it
is continued, it does not seriously lose
volume to the secondary brand. In
some cases sales Of the secondary brand
are controlled by allotment on the basis
Of fixed percentage of purchase Of
the leading brand.

NEW COAL AGENCY.
BEGINS OPERATION
Selling Organization Repre-
sents Attempt at Self
Regulation.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,


A new chapter in the history Of
American industry was written this
week with the commencement of oper-
ations by Appalachian Goals. Inc.
The corporation, recently determined
legal by the Supreme Court of the
United States, represents the first at
tempt Of any major industry toward
self-regulation. It has been described
as no more nor less than a selling agent
Tor a large number of coal producers.
Maintaining all the elements Of compe-
titlon, and at the same time reducing
the selling expenses, providing a more
regular running time at the mines and
promising more stabilized employment
and better conditions for labor.
Operations by the corporation began
at Cincinnati headquarters when price
lists on all grades and sizes Of coal were
dispatched to the 1877 companies consti-
tuting its membership, which produces
IS per cent Of the high volatile coal in
the Southern fields. The National Coal
Association here, which was instru-
mental in creating the agency, declared
the price list was substantially in line
with charges made by the biggest COM
panies of today"
The association declared the first
duty OF the organization is to adjust its
affairs SO that men employed at the
mines may have regular schedules of
employment. Benefits to the miners
would not come in the form of wage in
creases at the present time, it was said,
put rather through regulation and sta
bilization of employment.
Reports from other fields indicate
that, substantial progress is being made
In the development Of organizations of
a similar character.
Among the meetings to be held this
week to promote the organization of
agency plans are those in Fairmont. w.
Va, and Pittsburgh. Alabama, Ohio
and Central Pennsylvania operators
also report progress in creating such a
plan. All these territories are beyond
the region embraced by Appalachian

Speculative Rails Bought on
Relief Bill Plans for
Carriers.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 28-The admin
istration's railroad plan, prospects Of
foreign trade treaties and imitation
proposals found various reflections in
the movements of bonds today.
The better-grade of speculative rails
were accumulated today on the theory
that they would benefit most from the
proposed Roosevelt railroad bill, which
in effect sets aside antitrust and In
terstate Commerce Commission laws in
a drive to reduce costs.
In contrast, the gilt-edged carriers
were dull and the lower-gradeS were
neglected when compared with their
activity in recent sessions. During the
forenoon there was a disposition to buy
some of the speculative industrials. but
the high-grade issues in this list were
quiet.
Southern Railway 61as of 1856 and
the As Of the same year flrmed. Atchl-
son general As were eff a small frac-
ton.
Strength of South American descrip-
tionS featured dealings in the foreign
division. All of the Argentine 6 per
cent bonds touched new highs for the
year ny ulluUdy. oIdLl1ldll dllIl
Uruguayan loans showed signs of stiff
ening. In the Far Eastern group
Australian issues turned active and
were up from l to more than 2 points.
During this period German Government
5l2s and Is were up slightly without
aiding other German securities.
These movements mirrored the wide
spread belief that aid given to silver
and world commodities, along with
trade treaties, would materially improve
the finances of the governments
affected. Naturally the buying of these
government loans attracted attention to
industries located in such nations, with
the result that International Telephone
AIS and American & Foreign Power
SIS came into the limelight.
United States Government obliga-
tons, after opening irregularly. narrowed
their movements. There was a dis
position on the part of traders to buy
the Treasury issues selling at dis
count, like the 3lss of 1946-1949, on the
theory that at some later date such
securities would be sought by the
Federal Reserve System and thus be
forced higher
