ASSoSidIeo FTeSS
NEW YORK, May 30.-Trading In
stocks was further reduced yesterday,
in advance of the Memorial day re-
cess. What used to be called pre-
holiday" market has been more or
less a daily affair of late, since op-
erations on the big board got down
to an average Of about 500 900 shares.
Both the public and professionals
were giving the market a wide berth.
Despite the dullneSs, with trading
on the Stock Exchange approximating
only 100000 shares in the forenoon,
the atmosphere around brokerage Of
fees seemed to be little more cheer
full. Board rooms we're almost bare of
customers However, several brokers
expressed the opinion Wall Street was
witnessing the extremes of dullness,
although they saw little prospect of
an early pickup in speculation. Last
weeks volume, approximating 5000, 600
shares, the smallest for any week on
record since October. 1924, was alb
normally low, considering the secular
growth of the country in the mean
while and the increased number of
shares listed, brokers argued.
Reviving hopefulness among brokers
was reflected in plans of one large
house to adjust itself to the current
period of inactivity. Most large COM
mission houses, unless they get large
proportion of their business from
sources other than stock trading, find
it difficult to keep out the red on
the present trading volume. Last
week the senior partner of the house
expressed his belief it might be neces-
sary to cut the firms forces drastically.
But after a conference of the part
ners it was decided. instead, to pre-
scribe months vacation without pay
for employees and to keep the force
intact through the Summer in the
hope business would pick up by Au-

Nimbleness Required.

Profitable in-an-out trading for
short turns in a market as narrow
and thin as it has been the last week
has been all but impossible, except
for the most nimble floor traders and
board room veterans. On assumption
that they have been getting a sample
Of markets under Federal control of
speculation. some brokers have been
orienting their views to a new order
OF things marketwise. They have
moved over to the investment view
point and have been urging their Gus
toners to trade for the intermediate
swingS-that Is, price movements
which extend over weeks and months.
Without pools and large-scale manip-
ulation, they believe. the daily ups
and downs Of the market would be
too small to warrant buying and SELL
ing by others than professionals on
the floor OF the exchange or large
operators.
One broker envisaged the possibil-
ity that many brokerage houses, un-
der the new scheme of things in Wall
Street, might take on the character
Of investment counsel. In fact, sew
eral houses already have begun to
build up statistical departments and
are charging investment counsel fees
for services. II the Street generally
swings around to the investment view
point, it was predicted the demand
for customers men and brokerage en-
ployes who have merely big names as
foot ball players, golfers, bridge ex-
perts or a high rating in the social
register. rather than a grounding in
investment fundamentals and security
values, would become scarce.

look out the open window, but will
climb up to see more conveniently.
He will walk up to the vessel or
tub of hot water sitting on the
floor and try to splash in it or
overbalancing will tumble in. He
sees mother turn the gas valve on
the stove and tries it himself with
danger of asphyxiation or serious
burns. These are but a few of
the results of perfectly natural
impulse of curiosity. The remed-
les are simple. Turnrall the hand
les out of sight as we'll as out of
reach. Guard hot stoves from the
touch either intentional or by falls
of very small children. Keep win
dows guarded against the child
falling out when of an age to
climb up. Keep all vessels of hot
water or other things off the floor
or the child out of the room. Keep
gas valves sufficiently tight so that
the child cannot turn them. In
this same manner study the dang
erous avenues into which this i'm
pulse of curiosity may lead the
child and out-guess him before he
acts to his own injury or death.
Putting things in the mouth is
simply another instructive method
of acquiring knowledge. The child
is liable, however, because of its
lack of discrimination to take
something in its mouth that will
either poison it, choke it or injure
it in other ways. Small children
often drink from bottles or glasses
containing dangerous liquids from
kerosene to carbolic acid. Even
open safety pins have been swal-
lowed. They pick things off the
floor from bugs to hairpins and
put them in their mouths. Chok-
ing often results from sharp OBJ
jects like pins, needles, pieces of
broken glass or other things care
lessly left lying around. The only
remedy or safeguard for this kind
of accidents to children lies in
keeping such things out of their
reach. Especially is this true in
case of children under four years
of age. Here again good house
keeping tells. Careful mothers
seldom have trouble of this kind.
There is a disposition upon the
part of most children to climb.
This may pass quickly or become
a habit and continue even into
adolescence. Many falls, some of

STATE SAFETY

Care in Driving So AS Not

CHILDREN ARE WARNED

One of the most difficult fields
Of accident prevention is where
small children are concerned, says
the Delaware Safety Council.
These immature minds are yet in
capable of efficient reasoning and
most action is a result of impulse
or habit. 1t is, therefore, incum-
bent upon parents and older mem
bers of the family to exert every
pcssibgle effort to safeguard these
young lives from accidents with
the possible attendant deaths or
physical handicaps therefrom. APP
proximately one-third of the 3d.
600 home fatalities last year. were
children under fifteen years of age.
This indicates the Importance of
this field of care. There are three
rather definite instructive reactions
that characterize child life that get
them into trouble. They are the
instinct of curiosity, the DISPOSE
ton to put things in the mouth,
and the impulse to climb. These
are absolutely basic with children
and no parent has learned his
whole lesson in child care until he
or she recognizes these forces and
how to combat their dangers. The
child is psychologically amassing
and classifying knowledge. The
result is his desire to reach for
bright objects, to look into closed
vessels or open ones into which he
cannot readily see. He reaches
for the handle of the vessel on the
stove and often dumps its contents
on his head. He will pull at the
handle of the coffee pot on the
table and if too short to reach it
will pull on the table cloth and
dump everything off. He will even
touch a red hot stove just because
it is an attractive color He is not
