IF YOU ever have been in Trsffic
Court, you've seen those tiny
model automobiles, which are
i used to demonstrate the relative
positions of cars which figure in ac-
cidents. This Is to report to you
that there are two of the collection
you'll never see again. They figured in
a mishap the other day which neces-
STATED junking them.
1t all happened during a hearing on
a reckless driving charge. The de-
fendant was asked to arrange the
models to show precisely what had
happened. With great show Of re-
Election and consideration, he did
so; putting one model on one street,
another on the intersecting thorough
fare.
Then, before any one could stop
him. he put hand on each car and
brought them together with a re-
sounding and utterly demolishing
crash.
That. your honor. is exactly the
way the accident happened"
His honor, Judge Edward M. Cur
ran, laughed as hard as any one
else in the court.

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, November IA late
selling burst gave the stock market
black Friday" aspect today and nu-
merous recent leaders suffered further
losses Of fractions TO 2 or more points.
The ticker tape was late for a while
in the morning and again in the final
downward push A few specialties
managed to weather the storm, all
though these were none too buoyant
at the close. Transfers were around
2,500,O00 shares.
A little stimulation was derived here
and there from extra dividends and
bright earnings statements.
Merchandising and low priced
amuSements were in the best demand.
The steels picked up early, but could
not hold Mines, motors, utilities and
several of the rails we're in the skidding
division.
The admission of the President that
a study was being made of the pos
sible need of legislation to control
foreign buying of American securities,
which lately have reached large pro-
portions, helped 10 SOBER proponents
of the advance.
Shares up fractions to a point or
more during the greater part of the
session-although the majority yielded
in the final hour-were Woolworth,
Gimbel, Lerner Stores, Allied Stores,
National Department Stores. Safeway

measures of defense, and to carry
them out in close collaboration.
Article II provides that the
parties shall jointly invite other
powers whose internal peace is
threatened by the work of the
Comintern" to take defensive
measures in the spirit of this
agreement and to participate in
the agreement"
Article III makes the pact ef-
