 New York, April 2.-UP)-A vast array of favorable news, including optimistic statements by business leaders, turned the stock market up late today after cratic price move ments.
 Bonds failed to participate in the recovery. Commodities were mixed, with principal gains slightly higher. American Water Works stock was up on the statement of its presi- dent that resumption of dividends would be considered when tax legis- lation is out of the way.
 Chrysler's president told stock holders that orders were well above 1885, which set a new record. His statement sent the stock up more than a point and steadied other motor shares.
 Steel shares were mixed in face of further gains. Dow-Jones esti- mated the industry operating at 70 per cent up points from a week ago.
 Railroad shares steadied. Car loadings for the week ended last Saturday are. expected to show an- other gain over the previous week. Several rail presidents reported earnings gains. Building reports continued sufficiently good to bring demand for Johns Manville and U. s. Gypsum. The former touched 103 up 3 1-4.
 Silver shares turned up following higher prices for silver in London. Gold miners followed a rise in dome which responded to 8 g extra divi- dend.
 American Can gained more than 3 points and smaller advances were noted in American Telephone, Case, Goodyear, International Harvester, Montgomery Ward, North American, Public Service, Standard of New Jersey, Southern Pacific and Q. s. Rubber.
 Gains of more than ? points were made by Borg Warner, Douglas Air. craft and Westinghouse Electric. General Electric was steady.
 Copper shares steadied later when Louis s. Gates, president of Phelps Dodge, told stockholders that for the first time in 5 years he was really optimistic on the future.
 Corporation reports were mainly favorable. Union Carbide had a record first quarter, according to its president. Reduced earnings

HARMONY IN (. O.P. RANKS IS EXPECTED

Hartford, Conn.,, April 21-(UP)- A harmonious state republican con. vention May 5-6, at which 19 del egates to the national convention i will be chosen, was indicated to- day on the basis of results of Mon- days town caucuses. For the most part there was an absence of dis agreement and local contests were scattered and of little party signi- ficance. The only departures from the routine were at Burlington and Manchester. George W. Hull, who endeavored to inaugurate Borah movement in the state several months ago, was defeated as a del- egate at Burlington. He was ac- cused of bolting the party four years ago and aligning himself with the liberal element.
 Townsendite Wins
 At Manchester 8 Townsendite, Selectman Mathis Spiess, was elected a delegate with opposition. Return of former Lieutenant-G Gov ernc- Roy c. Wilcox to the state central committee was assured at Meriden where a majority of his slate was endorsed. Rep. Daniel F. B. Hickey, Stamford, was defeated for a convention place after a spirited vote during which the Hickey forces obtained a superior court injunction to place counters in each district.
 An attempt of the Nutmeg" fac- ton to gain control of the Dan- bury town committee failed in ev- cry district excepting one.
 Delegates to the Cleveland na- tional convention, 1t was anticipat- ed, would go uninstructed, as has been the custom for many years.

The question of the share the states should bear in Q flood control program formed the center Of controversy. Several mem bers insisted that 1t would be in- possible to have headwater states bear any of the share of the cost Of building retaining dams in their areas if those states did not suffer from the floods.

(Continued from Page 10 he emerged from another inspection of the treacherous rescue shaft.
 There is only room for two men at the face" he said.
 At times previously, before the new cut was started, only one man could work at the front.
 How long will it be before you get to them?
 Through in 6 Hours
 They figured they would be through in six hours, providing there are no cave-ins", Dwyer said The speed is really determined by tho work capacity of the two head mon.'
 The second man still alive in the mine depths, Alfred Scadding, was worried continually by fears that the rescuers might resort to blasting. Each time he talked to those on surface, he asked first, "when are you going to blast?" He was reas- sured repeatedly that the works crews would not risk using explo- sives.
 His second question was the plead- inU one which had come up the tube time and again over the past three days.
 How long will 1t be before they reach us?"
 As they had so many times before, the men above ground told him fin about two hours"
 No Cave-In Danger
 ~Is there any danger of a cave in in Reynolds shaft?" Dwyer was asked.
 Not particularly, but there is al- ways that factor to guard against"
 "Would the timbering be suff1- cient to stop possible slider"
 If 1t starts at all, nothing would stop it."
 What are present chances of rapid progress in clearing the shaft?"
 It is boiled down now to what a man can lift and pass two feet. From nine last night to six this morning the advance was only six feet. This was because of clearing and timbering without taking un- necessary chances"
 Have you enough mem"
 All Kinds of Men
 We have all kinds of men avail able. The best in Canada are stand ing by here. We are now working the men is six hour shifts"
 Dwyer said the last time the trapped men were fed was Sun day. They cannot be fed again through the hose, he said, because 1t comes out eight feet below their level and the men must go down a ladder to get the hose"
 Officials believed Robertson and Scadding were so weak and cold they might fall off the ladder and drop to the three hundred foot level.
 DO the rescue men sometimes have to scurry back to escape death by cave-ins?"
 Miners Knew How
 "The men might have been killed that way dozens of times except for the knowledge of these miners. They control the possible caveins by causing them gradually, guiding the falls and preparing for them"
 At 2:35 D. m. H. K. Macdonald, in charge of the emergency hospi- tai, issued the following state ment:
 T have every confidence the men will be brought out alive. Yes terday I said they were good for 24 hours as their voices were strong. I have no hesitation in now saying they are good for at least another 24 hours as their voices are still strong. Even though they should be found unconscious there would be still a good chance of saving them. We took further precautions today for this contingency by sending to Halifax by plane for additional medical supplies to meet any pos Nihle condition"

WATERMELON RATED
AS CHEAPEST LUXURY
And Most Delicious from Farm; Ex-
ceedS Old Oal1en Bucket as
Real Thirst Quencher

College Station, Raleigh, May 20
In hot weather the watermelon is no
doubt the farmers cheapest and most
delicious luxury, according to c.. r
Hudson, state agent in charge of
Negro work for the State College ex-
tension.
AS a thirst quencner he said, it ex-
cells the old oaken bucket or the rock
ribbed spring at the foot of the hill.
Either as a dessert for the noon
day meal, or between meals, or at any
time of the day or night, he continu-
ed, there is probably no beverage
equal to it for allaying the Thirst and
for full satisfaction.
Watermelons are neither difficult
nor expensive to grow. They grow
we'll in poor soil if it is well drained
and fortified. They do not exhaust
the soil, as do many other crops.
Recent Investigations have shown
that watermelons contain appreciate
amounts of several vitamins, and from
eight to II per cent sugar
During the spring and early part of
the summer paintings should be made
every two or three weeks so that the
harvest period may be spread out over
a considerable length of time.
In a cool, dry, well ventilated stor-
age place, watermelons may be kept
| in good conditions for weeks, or even
up until Christmas, Hudson stated.

Soil Program To
Boost Dairying In
State, Is Believed

College Station, Raleigh, May 12-
The soil-improvement program, en-
couraging the production of soil-con-
serving feed crops, is expected to
stimulate interest in dairying.
Dairy cows are a valuable asset to
families living on their own land and
producing enough feed to keep the
cows in good condition, said A. C.
Kinney, extension dairy specialist at
State College.
1t is not necessary to sell fluid milk
tC urban consumers to derive a cash
income from the cows, he added
In many cases cream can be ship
ped to a creamery at a reasonable
profit, he explained, with the skim
milk being fed to calves, pigs, and
poultry.
In addition, the family will have
plenty of butter and whole milk to
supply it's own needs.
Kinney suggested tht many farm
ers will find it advantageous to raise
feed on land taken out of cotton and
tobacco under the soil-improvement
program
