NEW YORK, March 16.-Ger-
many's reputation of the Locarno
Treaty unsettled world markets last
week. Stocks broke l to more than
8 points in the first five trading
days. The Dow-Jones composite
average of 10 representative stocks
made new low since Jan. 80.
Bonds were forced down with
principal losses in German, French,
and Belgian issues. Commodities
were mixed with grains, cotton,
sugar, coffee and tin higher. Silk,
rubber, cocoa, copper and wool de-
clined.
Business continued to make a
good showing. Steel operations were
up smartly to within a short dis
lance of the years high. Car load
ing declined less than expected.
Electricity output continued we'll
above a year ago. Building and au-
tomobile production were higher.
Retail trade spurted as much as 40
per cent over the previous week.
Fantastic Rumors Spread
Domestic news generally was
either favorable or neutral mar
ketwise. Hence the attention of the
traders centered on Europe. 1t was
believed that war would be averted.
In fact, some traders felt that the
latest German move might help
clarity the European mixup and
make for permanent peace.
While the powers were preparing
to meet to discuss the remilitariza-
ton of the Rhineland by Germany
and during their conferences, the
market was moved by all sorts of
fantastic rumors that always ap-
pear when facts are unknown. Mere
circulation of these reports fright
ened enough sellers to set off real
reaction.
Allied Chemical Off Is Points
During the first five trading days,
Allied Chemical broke Is points.
Wide losses were noted in a long
list of other issues that recently had
been in demand Chrysler lost more
than 7 points, American Telephone
more than 5, Bethlehem Steel more
than S, New York Central 4, and
Douglas Aircraft nearly points.
Railroad issues were particularly
hard hit on European selling. Steels
reacted with U. S. Steel recording
a 5-point loss. Tobaccos made new
lows for the year. Coppers were de-
pressed with the exception of Amer
lean Smelling, which made new
high on an excellent earnings re-
port.
Standard Oil of New Jersey
gained more than two points on the
week. It touched a new high and
held most of the gain. U. S. Rubber
was a strong spot. Electric Power &
Light issues out on the upside in an
otherwise lower utility division.

Sparring Mates Are
Guinea Pigs for Max

Nevertheless, 1t would be unfair to
Judge him solely from such showing
against partners. Such men usually
are selected in the same manner that
a surgeon picks out the best specimens
in the guinea pig market They are In
camp for experimental, If not entirely
scientific purposes.
All that actually would be accom-.
plished would be the ruination Of three
more guinea pigs. Similarly, II would
get him nothing, save perhaps few
extra cheers from his. loyal landsmen,
who flock up here, II he devoted his
time to the soft snap Of outboxing his
laboratory specimens. So he seems to
be concentrating upon special assign
ments.
There is, for instance, the expert
ment being conducted In uppercuts.
This blow is a new one for him, but In
view of his short, thick-muscled fore
arms and the fact that Louis fights In
a half crouch with his arms extended
in front of him, might become very
effective one. Even Il the midst Of
his slower moments here he has been
letting that one 90 frequently.

"Blackguard," "Cad" and
"Idiot" Not an Insult

No doubt you would be annoyed If
somebody called you blackguard and
a cad, but actually there is no reason
why you should regard these words as
being Objectionable, asserts a writer in
Tit-Bits Magazine.
"Blackguard"-or 'black guard
was originally the name given to GER
tain servants of King Henry Wis
court, who wore black uniforms. True,
these particular servants were of hum
BILE rank; but they were never consid-
cred to be unworthy people.
There is even less cause for one to
resent the word cad, although 1t Is de-
rived from cadaver, meaning a dead
body. In olden times, students used to
refer to those who lived In their uni
versity, but were not members of 1t,
as being dead" They were, that is to
say, "cadavers"-or, for short, "cads."
We don't think it very pleasant to be
called idiot, but here again we really
should not mind. Back in the past, an
idiot was not a foolish person, but
merely one who was neither priest
nor official. The word probably got its
present meaning from a belief that an
ordinary citizen could be be so intel
ligent as clergyman or a man en-
ployed in some public Office.

Thinks Movies Show
Louis Can Be Hit

The narrow eyes no longer were
blinking. The tanned giant was lean
ing forward eagerly. Ordinarily he Is
one Of the coolest Of men but he has a
warming smile and now he turned II
on. "That's right" he said. "l've seen
the movies and I've seen him close up"
He did not refer to Louis by name, in
deed the Brown Bomber seldom is spok-
en- Of up here in Max Something's train
ing camp. Certainly he can hit but
he has to have something to hit, doesn't
he? Well"
There was a moment overlooking
with embarrassing silence.
SWELL" admitted the reporter then,
"it's good gag If you can get away
with It."
Having watched the German giant In
several workouts since then, though,
the reporter Is not yet ready to agree
that Schmeling can get away with Il.
Plainly he needs far more work before
he will be ready for such an ambitious
undertaking.

Recent tests have shown that flies

Since subsequent events had proved

"We'Il stay away from him. We
