STOCKS CONTINUE
DOWNWARD TREND
Price Index for go Shares
Dips Point to Lowest
Since November.

Associated Press Financial Writer.

BY JOHN L. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Wall Street
kept on its blue-tinted glasses during
today's short session Of the stock
market, and prices completed a third
week Of almost steady declines.
Selling quickened for a time, and
the turnover for the two-hour ses-
sion was l,1l0,1l0 shares, or more
than the volume for yesterdays five
hour trading, but little buying and
short covering appeared in the last
few minutes, which reduced and In
some cases cancelled the extreme
losses. Wider declines in principal
shares were largely limited to a point
or two.
Standard Statistics Co.'S price in
dex of 80 representative shares re-
ceded a full point to 74.8, which is
the lowest since early November. The
20 rails and 20 utilities held Just above
their lows of January, but the COM
posite index for 90 shares was pulled
under the 1884 lows by the so indus
trials. At 74.8 the index was 6.8
points above the level at which last
years long decline from Midsummer
to mid-October was checked.
There was nothing to account for
the continued selling save the lack Of
any change in the tenor of the bust
ness news, and the natural gloom
which descended upon Wall Street as
the Senate met In expectation Of
passing the stock exchange control
bill.
Published reports that President
Roosevelts requests for supplement
tary appropriations would be kept
strictly within budget estimates was
interpreted in some quarters In Wall
Street as indicating that no fresh
artificial stimuli for business were
planned. While gratifying to sound
money opponents, this left stock mar
ket quarters rather respondent. for
it was pointed out that business was
evidently being given an increasing
opportunity to 60 forward under its
own steam at O time when seasonal
stimulus is lacking.
Some quarters in Wall Street in
sist, however, that recent gloom has
been overdone, that business volumes
are holding close to the Spring peak.
despite the usual tendency toward
contraction at this time, and that
there is no reason to look for any,
thing serious in the way of Sum-
r1ler lull.
Among shares losing / to 2 points
or so were American Can, American
Shipbuilding, American Sugar Refn-
ing, American Beet Sugar, American
Tobacco B, Borg-Warner, Case, Cerro
de Pasco, Deere, Dupont. Goodyear.
Great Western Sugar, Illinois Gen.
trail, Lehigh, Montgomery Ward,
Pennsylvania Railroad. Scott Paper,
United States Industrial Alcohol,

States Steel lost only a minor frac-
ton and American Telephone closed a
fraction higher. Several of the rails
and utilities closed about steady. News
OF the receivership for Follans- Bee
Bros. one of the smaller steel COM
panies, caused a drop in the stock to

In Lexington, KY, James

met a relative of a once-famous
actress, May White.
To him was given an auto
graph which once belonged to
the actress. In it, in blurred
writing of a bygone day ap-
pears these words:
MAY all good angels guard
and bless thee,
"And from thy heart re-
move all care.
Remember you should mere
distrest be
youth and hope, can crush
despair.
"Joy can be found, by all,
who seek it.
"Only be right, the path, we

Find and keep it.

John"
It was signed in Richmond,
February 18, 1860, by:

Clark Griffith, president of
the Washington baseball team,
has had some rather tough
luck with the club this year,
but he has one new fan.
Senator Carter Glass, of Vir-
ginia, is one of the greatest
converts of the season, and is
thoroughly enthused with the
game of the diamond.
On the opening day, Senator
Glass attended the game. It
was the first time he had seen
mines work out since his boy
hood.
The other day Vice Presi-
dent Garner said:
Senator, let's go to the ball
game"
Senator Glass agreed.
They went.
Now, they say, he cares more
for baseball than gold, silver,
Federal Reserve. and all those
trivial things which heretofore
have occupied his time.

It Is very evident that Jackie Fadel,
10 years old, of 713 Quincy street, was
doing his daily good turn when he
made a telephone call to B. Powers Of
1888 Newton street Thursday evening,
stating that he had found an impor-
tant-looking document in front of his
home, with the name, B. Powers, on
1t. When told Of the document, Pow
ers tried in vain to recall whether he
had lost such document. Thinking it
would be wise to investigate, Powers
went to see little Jackie Fadel at his
nome.
The door was answered by Jackie,
who invited Powers in. Jack very ex-
citedly got the document and ex-
planned that the A. Powers on the first
page was not the name, but the B.
Powers on the third page was the
name referred to. Powers looked 1t
over and could not help smiling at
the boy who had tried to be SO help
full.

SKYLINE DRIVE
OPENING DELAYED
Completion of Roads for Summer
Travel Prevented by Cold
Weather.

Because road work was retarded by
the severe cold weather, the famous
Skyline Drive in the proposed Shen-
andoah National Park, Virginia, can
not be opened to travel this Spring,
it was announced yesterday by Arno
B. Cammerer, director of the Ma
tional Park Service.
Opening of the central section OF
this scenic area, he said, Is depend
ent entirely upon the completion OF
hard surfacing of the highway. The
severest weather in decades has made
it impossible for the contractor to
push the work. 1t is believed that
with the utmost expedition the sur
facing of the road cannot be COM
pleted until the middle of August or
lst of September.
Although the Skyline Drive has
been opened from time to time in the
past for brief periods Of public in
spection, it was necessary to keep il
closed last Summer because dust
clouds from the improvised roadway
made it unfit for travel.
Mr.. Cammerer also stated that the
State of Virginia is Just completing
its acquisition of last parcels Of land
to be included in the Shenandoah
Park When all the lands within the
proposed boundaries are turned over
to the United States-and 1t appears
this will take place soon-the park
will become a full-fedged member oi
the great national park system.
