then her mother would have all the

spite the poverty.

What a very honest small person she

of vivid reactions. fairly vibrating

Have you ever seen Washington so
flooded with men looking for positions?
Betsy said: I've noticed how
crowded the city is. Especially when
I try to get into a movie. When Bar
bara Stones pictures come, they line
up from the box Offices clear around
the corner" Her voice was steady,
but her heart was beating wildly. How
she had misjudged Marshall, Libby,
Mrs. Stockton, every one! Marshall
had been doing just what he had told
her. Trying to get position through
Libby so they could be married. And
she hadn't trusted him, hadn't quite

After q little while. saying not a

Stockton went with her to the door,
her arm around Betsy's waist.
I'm glad you and Libby are being
presented together" she said. II must
confess that wasn't in favor of it in
the beginning. You see, didn't know

'Vitamins have had their day; in the

Mrs. M. Hooper, a Cardiff Bookkeeping

which condemned doctors who recon-.

Mrs. Stockton was like fire. Bright,
cheerful, soothing-doing something
to the soul.
At a telephone booth in the drug
store around the corner, Betsy dialed
Marshall's number. The stars were
singing for her as she waited, listen
ing to the monotonous buzz Of the
instrument. And then-then-Mar-
shalrs voice-Marshall saying, Betsy!
Don't tell me it's you at last, darling!"
Oh, 1t was so wonderful to hear his
voice! Everything fell back into place
instantly. Fears and jealousy, indie
cisions and heartaches vanished as
that gay young voice came over the
wire. 1t was the happiest moment
Of her life, she thought. She could
not know that this very hour was to
warp and distort her life in the days

active and lower.
Electric Auto-Lite moved up
fractionally, although the other
equipment shares were soft.
Steel Shares Slide
Considerable profit taking was
apparent in the steel shares, with
United States Steel, Bethlehem
and other favorites off moderately.
Rails were inclined to work
lower as Atchison, Southern Pa
cific and Northern Pacific eaSed.
Mail order and farm equipment
shares drifted sluggishly as the
wheat broke from 212 cents a
bushel on the Government report
estimating larger crop than had
been looked for. The cotton mar
ket also was heavy, losing more
than so cents a bale.
Oils were comparatively steady,
while mining, aviation, chemical

WHEAT AND RYE
LEAD DECLINE

CHICAGO, July II G.NS).
Grain futures displayed a weak
undertone in early dealings, re-
flecting the bearish Government
crop forecast and sharply lower
cables.
Wheat and rye led the decline
with early prices off as much as
SEC, but later recovered about
a cent of the loss on scattered
buying. Corn was down better
than a cent and oats near
cent.
Another depressing factor was
the bearish Government estimate
on the Canadian wheat crop
which brought a sympathetic de-
cline at Liverpool.
At midsession wheat was 21a
to 224c lower, corn p to Sc off,
oats u to 24c down and rye ~
to 2A lower.
Winnipeg was 1s to 5sc lower
and Liverpool 112 to 134d lower,
the latter being due unchanged
to Ad off. Buenos Aires opened
70 to 24c lower.

HEAVY SELLING
HITS COTTON

NEW YORK, July II. GN.s).
The cotton market turned lower
today on moderately heavy selling
pressure, influenced by continued
good weather over the belt and
relatively lower Liverpool cables.
Trade price-fixing in the near
months kept the July and october
contracts steadier. Buying was re-
ported to be coming from the
trade, Liverpool, the continent
and shorts, with the selling from
commission houses. locals, Wall
Street and the South.
Around the noon hour futures
were off II to 10 points. July
was off 10 at 1899, october off
10 at 11.66, December off 10 at
11.64, and March off II at 11.68.

Prompt Action Due in Case
Gold Decision Brings
Crucial Situation.
special Dispatch To The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1.-Amer-
ican security markets will be closed
during the reading of the gold clause
decision by the United States Su-
preme Court, or Immediately after
the reading, if market conditions
justify this action. Despite official
silence on this matter, both here and
in washington, all the machinery is
ready for immediate closing of the
markets, if necessary.
Naturally, the New York Stock Ex-
change and other exchanges through
out the country don't care to say that
definite decision has been made.
and neither does the Securities and
Exchange Commission or President
Roosevelt. There is a general feel
ing, however, that prompt action will
be taken if markets become un-
manageable.
Commodity exchanges probably
would not close, even if securities soar
or sag. Nearly every commodity mar
ket has fixed daily trading limits and
when these are reached trading is
automatically suspended for the day.
Normally Supreme Court decisions
are handed down early on Monday
afternoons. If the usual procedure is
followed, this would mean that the
gold decision would come during the
market hours. It is impossible to
order the exchanges closed in ad-
vance, since only the court knows on
which Monday the decision will be
handed down.
Should the decision be published
before markets here open, the action
of foreign currencies and the over
the markets would be q good
barometer.
Today the New York Stock Ex-
change is holding an important meet
ing to arrange for a series of hear
ings concerning the handling of
various types of bond business, in an
effort to increase trading in bonds
listed on the Exchange.
The Law Committee of the Ex-
change also is studying the sugges-
tions Of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for internal reorganiza-
ton, but has not yet reached a point
where it can make recommendation
to the Governing Committee.

many people have discovered, for
the first time, that there are COM

A widow explains It this way: my
income is a tenth of what once en-

fore the crash in 1929. The first
dividend that my poverty brought

membership on a dozen committees
whose activities were a burden and
a bore. Poor people aren't useful in
the pursuit of uplift.
Custom had once compelled me
to entertain large groups of rela-
tives and friends at expensive and
