STOCKS NARROW
VOLUME DROPS
Few Speciality. Issues Rise,
Other Changes Held to
Small Fractions.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, January lathe
stock market moved slowly today.
Dealings were the dullest in some time
and. with few exceptions, variations
we're limited to small fractions. A
few SpecialtieS we're firm, including
Splegel-May- Stern and j. c. Penney.
Leaders such as United States Steel,
General Motors, American Telephone,
Consolidated Gas and American Can
were unchanged to a shade higher.
Transfers appropriated $4,000
shares.
Shares of Coca-Cola and Hazel
Atlas-GlaSS got up about point each,
and small advances were registered by
United States Steel, Bethlehem, Cen
eral Motors, Chrysler, Case, Interna-
tlonal Harvester, Johns -Manville,
Westinghouse, General Electric, Ma
tional Distillers, American Tobacco B,
North American, Public Service of New
Jersey. Baltimore & Ohio, Southern
Pacific, American Smelling. United
States Smelling and Cerro de PascO.
Most of the utilities and rails, includ-
ing Consolidated Gas. Santa Fe. New
York Central, Pennsylvania and I'm
ion Pacific were about unchanged TO
trifle lower. Gillette Safety Razor
was somewhat heavy following the
action of the United States Court of
Appeals in reversing a patent de-
cision which the company had won
ir lower court.
Announcement that employees Of the
j. /. Case Co. had voted against any
strike at this tine was pleasing to
market observers. but it was realized
that other and more serious labor Situ-
ations are still confronting some of
the larger industries.
Few in Wall Street would voice an
opinion regarding the outcome of the
gold question, but those who viewed
with alarm" the possible repercussions
of an adverse decision on the abrOga-
ton legislation were decidedly in the
minority.
The feeling seemed to prevail that
if the highest court rules against
the Government remedial steps will
already have been prepared by the
administration to prevent any CT tie
dire developments which some prophets
have been forecasting. IN addition. it
was pointed out that chances of Q
favorable decision are still good.

Electric Equipment Orders
Climb 20 Per Cent in Year

Jagged in comparison with other diH-
sions, and total business remained
more than SO per cent below the aver
age for the years 1926-1929.
Following the improvement wit
messed in most electrical equipment
lines during 1884, prospects for the
industry in the current year are en-
couraging and a continuation of the
rising trend of activity inaugurated
about year and a half ago is prob
able. Most equipment manufacturers
entered the year with a substantial
gain in untitled orders, the backlog
of many units showing an increase of
as much as 40 per cent to so per cent
over the extremely low level of early
1884.
A further increase in volume of
heavier equipment sales Is indicated
for 1885 by the moderniZation pro-
gram contemplated by the steel in
dustry, which calls for an expendi-
ture of around $l00, ,000, 900 and will
include a large amount of electrical
equipment. y

1888 New orders booked by 78
manufacturers are estimated to have
approximated 100000, as against

This gain was largely the result of
increased demand for lighter lines and
home appliances. Sales of capital
goods showed only modest improve
ment during 1884, according to the
Standard Statistics Co.. although
such special projects as the T. v. A.,
Boulder Dam and the further eleCtri-
fication of the Pennsylvania Railroad
accounted for some expansion OF ac-

Important points to think about
are warmth, comfort and water
proofing. Your clothes must be
adequate and adaptable to the
whizzing descent. with the snow
and wind in your face, and for
the long climb back, when you
will get too hot if your clothes are
too heavy.
Most people manage by wear
ing a jacket over a flannel shirt
or sweater, the jacket removed for
the climb, if you get too hot. If
you're an expert, beyond the spill.
ing stage, you don't have to worry
as much about waterproof clothes,
but it's always good idea. So
are windproof clothes.
Norwegian Trousers
The accepted costume is Norwe-
gian trousers, those with elastic
bands at the bottom, tucked into
ski boots. There are two lengths,
really long trousers, and those
a few inches below the knees.
Some people say the latter make
your hips look best. Wool, heavy
enough to keep you warm. or
gabardine are the favorite mate
rails. In Europe, waterproofed
gabardine is used for both trousers
and jackets.
AS we said before, flannel shirts
or sweaters are worn, tucked into
the trousers. Over that a jacket,
and warm scarf and mittenS
finish your costume. White
sweaters are popular, and your
scarf can be as gay as you want
it to be. Don't add anything
fussy, or you will tell the world
you are an amateur.
Useful Here, Too
All of this may sound irrelevant
to us here in Washington, but we
wear the same sort of costumes
for sleighriding," as must Of US
call it, and such clothes are good
for skating, too. Regular snow
trains go out of New York and
Boston. and many people from
Washington go to Lake Placid or
Canada for winter sports.
Proof that we are really inter-
ested is that the Washington
stores sell enough snow clothes
to make it somewhat worth their
while. Each year they sell more
and more. They have the right
things, as you can see by the pic.
ture on this page. So If you
want the fun of winters sports,
60 and shop first, then play!

Plants and Flowers

A good amaryllis bulb is a
great delight to flower lovers.
After a few weeks of simple care,
1t bears long-lasting lilylike flow
ers-Several to the stalk. These
are scarlet, white, pink or blood
red. They sometimes measure five
inches across. With proper care,
the same bulb may be brought
into bloom year after year, for a
dozen years. And it will furnish
offsets that make treasured gifts
to friends.
It is most important to buy
good bulb from reliable florist
or nurserynlan.. A poor bulb will
not bloom no matter how much
care you give it. January or Feb
ruary is good time to plant your
amaryllis bulb. Be sure to choose
a pot only a little wider than the
bulb itself. For example, if your
bulb is three inches in diameter,
choose a pot that measures only
one inch more across the top
that is, four inches. This will
crowd the roots, which causes the
plant to blossom rather than go
to leaf.
Make sure of good drainage by
putting an inch-layer Of cinders,
pebbles or broken flower pot in
the bottom of your pot. Cover this
with soil first mixed with a little
odorless fertilizer, Plant your bulb
so that about two-thirds of it are
in the soil, but the neck and
shoulder exposed.
Then set the potted bulb away

send a Christmas card, but if
we do send a card we should
use the utmost care in its Selec-
ton. It should, of course, have
a definitely appropriate message.
And it is usually easier to
write a note carrying the ap'
propriate message. a message of
deep and warm-hearted under
standing and friendlineSs.

Stars Wife Is
Business Lady

Besides managing a comfortable
home and seeing that her young
daughter is we'll cared for, Mrs.
Pat OBrien finds time to run a
business on the side. She's the
proprietor of Martha Dean, In
corporated," a dress shop in
Hollywood, which does a thriving
business.
Besides selling clothes to vari-
Gus stars and lesser lights, Mrs.
O'Brien sometimes helps the de-
signers out when they are cos
tuning several pictures at one
time, and cannot possibly design
each costume for every woman in
the picture. Orry-Kelly has come
to her several times when he's
in a pinch and she's managed to
have just the right clothes.
Some of her costumes will APP
pear in Miss Pacific Fleet. ="
which will be in town soon.
Glenda Farrell will wear a black
suit trimmed in Persian lamb, and
Joan Blondell a black dress, both
from Martha Dean" A good
many costumes for Winnie Shaw
to wear in Broadway Hostess, !"
were selected there too.
PajamaS and lounging costumes
constitute the biggest part of the
business. as people in Hollywood
spend most of their leisure time
in comfortable clothes. Among
the picture people who depend
on Mrs. O'Brien for smart
pajamas and such things are
Mary Livingston, who is Mrs.
Jack Benny; Joan Blondell, Mar
ion Davies, Glenda Farrell, Jane
Froman and Nydia WeStman.
You've probably heard about
Pats famous coat already, the
coat made of cloth that Mrs. Pat
wove. She chose black and white
homespun, because Pat is con-
sentative in his taste, and
wouldn't wear anything with
much pattern or color in it.
You can weave about half a
yard of fabric 80 inches wide in
an hour, according to Mrs.
O'Brien, and it is not expensive
to do. 1t took nine yards for
Pats coat and, needless to say,
he is simply crazy about it. With
such a good example set them in
Hollywood, Washington women
will no doubt take up the fad.
