The market steadied up a few points
after the opening on week end cover
ing and trade buying. The demand
was limited. however, and prices soon
eased under renewed liquidation in
f1uenced by reports Of showers In
Northeastern Texas.
December, after selling up from
11.53 to 11.58, broke to 1l.50 with the
general market showing net declines
of about S to points at the end of
the first hour.
There was q moderate amount Of
hedging during early trading and a
little selling through houses with con-
tinental and Far Eastern connections.
Liverpool cables attributed an early
decline there to hedge selling and re-
ported moderate rallies later on trade
calling and continental buying which
had found offerings comparatively
light.
Weekly crop advices from the South
west said the upper third of Texas was
deteriorating rapidly and that abun-
dant rains soon were needed if an
average yield is to be made in some of
the important producing counties.

D. c. DEALERS CUT
USED CAR STOCKS
Reduction of 1928 Per Cent
During July Regarded
as Good Sign.
RY DONALD b. HADLEY.

Used cars are disappearing from
dealers inventories here in good shape,
according to the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association. During July
the supply of older cars was cut 484
units, or 1873 per cent, bringing the
total at the close Of the month to
$500 units.
"Cars of the 1928 or older vintage
account for only So per cent Of the
stock. Cars of 1929 vintage have been
cut to Ill per cent of the total in
ventory, and 1880 models are las per
cent of the total. AS for 1881. 1882
and 1888 models, these cars naturally
account for q smaller percentage OF
the stock because Of the curtailed sales
and production of those models during
the depression years.
1894 Vintage Leads.
Models of 1884 vintage are held to
a greater extent than other years,
constituting 17.8 per cent Of the entire
inventory. The 1884 models also are
moving more slowly than the 1929,
1880 and 1881 models. which account
ed, respectively, for 1875, 13 and 15.6
per cent of the total sales during July,
while the 1884 models accounted for
only 1875 per cent of the total.
whether this indicates that the de-
mand for the early models was greater
or that the dealers have been pushing
their early models harder is not clear.
Total sales in the Nations Capital
during July were 4,283 units, which
was down about 15.2 per cent from the
June level. If this rate should con-
tinue during August, the stock on hand
would represent only about three
weeks supply, but, anticipating nor,
NAL seasonal drop, the supply on nana
should be equivalent to about 80 days
sales" the association reports.
Failures Drop Cited.
Trade recovery and stable or rising
prices are making it easier Tor old
established firms to stay in business
and for young ones to take root. &C
cording to an article in Business Week,
which points out that, while about ooO
failures we're recorded every week IN
1882. 1t now takes almost montn 10
roll up that number.
"In the first six months of 1896 only
5.314 firms failed. the lowest number
for any year back of 1920, and de-
crease of 125 per cent from the num-
bers in the same months OF 1850.
Actual dollar losses to creditors
weren't pared substantially. because
the few big failures that did occur IN
volved pretty fancy losses. Some OF
the biggest firms in difficulties since
the middle of 1884 have made stab
at saving themselves by seeking to
reorganize under the regulations OF
the famous 77b. But better business
is reducing the number of such cases
as well as those of outright bank
ruptcy."

There have been many favorable

during the past year. Deposits are
the highest in history, working fund
ratios have increased, loans and dis
counts are moving up. and dividends

issuance of convertible preferred and,
at the same time, has been able to de-
clare extra dividends on its common

NAL demand for credit and other ad-
verse conditions, banks have demon

Of the conditions which have had to be
met now appear to be behind the

Impressed with the almost complete
absence of unemployment in most
European countries, which he attrib-
uted entirely to huge rearmament pro-

the United States, at this time, and for
many years to come, affords the
worlds safest and most profitable
working place for capital" said Mr..
Jelke. "Europe's present prosperity
is based largely on production for de-
struction.

cookies, and stiff-dough or crisp
cookies. The dough for drop cookies,
by one good recipe, is made with "a
cup of fat to 11s cups of finely gran
ulated sugar. 2 eggs, "a cup of milk,
4 cups of sifted soft-Wheat flour, 4
teaspoons OF baking powder, Z tea
spoon of salt, 3 teaspoons of f1avoring.
These are about the same proportions
used for foundation cake, except the
liquid, of which there is considerably
less, thus making the drop cookie
mixture sitter than cake batter,
though soft enough to drop from a
spoon.
"The directions for mixing the drop
cookie dough are: Cream the fat
until it is soft, add the 1avoring and
the sugar gradually, stirring until the
mixture becomes light and fluffy be-
cause of the air beaten into it. Con-
tinue the creaming while adding the
well-beaten egg yolks, but add them
slowly, otherwise the mixture may
curdle as the yolks go in. Sift the
dry ingredients together, then add
them and the liquid alternately to the
fat and sugar mixture. The dry in
gradients, however, should be beaten
in, the liquid stirred in, and the dry
ingredients should be the first and
the last added. Last of all, fold in
the beaten egg whites. Drop small
portions of the dough from a spoon
to a creased baking sheet or shallow
pan, and bake for Is minutes in a
moderately hot oven (375 degrees
Fahrenheit).
Orange drop cookies are particu-
larly attractive variation. To make
them, use in place Of the liquid (the

Candle Holders You Can
Make.

There's no need to buy special candle
holders to match the color scheme OF
your table. You can make your own
and cover them in crepe paper which
comes in every color imaginable. Here's
how it's done: Take small custard
cup, place candle in center and NIL
wet newspaper crushed together
around candle to make it stand up.
Then cover cup with crepe paper in
the color desired. Paste the side edges,
stretch upper edge out to give o petal
effect, and tie bow of crepe or ribbon
around candle.
II you want to decorate q plain
candle holder. all you need do Is cut
an S-inch width of crepe across the
grain, fold through the center and
gather on the fold, tieing the double
ruffie with spool wire around the
candle holder. This double rufie is
very effective under the candle.

Dorothy Dix Says
There Are Four Principal Reasons for
Increase in Divorces.

Ten Commandments in preserving the
morali1es.
The third reason why divorce is so
much more common now than it used
to be is because people demand so
much more Of life. We moderns don't
seem able to take punishment as our
forebears did We have to live more
softly in every way. And so when we
strike the hardships of marriage We
do not brace ourselves up to see them
through. We throw up our hands and
quit.
THOUSANDS Of boys and girls fall
in love and get married on the
proverbial shoestring. Hundreds OF
them can't stand the gaf when they
find that marriage means shabby
clothes and poor food and not being
able to 60 to the movies and run
with their old crowd. I personally
know one young couple who had no
fault whatever to find with each other
but who got q divorce and broke up
their home because if they did not
have home to support they could
afford to keep car and 60 out to-
gether and have good times.
And the fourth reason for the in
crease in divorce Is the fact that nearly
every girl nowadays follows some gain
full occupation before marriage, and
this units a large number of them
for domesticity. They miss the ex-
citement of dolling themselves up and
going downtown every morning, OF
working in crowds, Of continually
hearing and seeing new things, and
they are bored working alone in a
kitchen.
They miss having their own money,
and having trade makes them finan-
cially independent, so that they can
walk out on their husbands and their
jobs when they get tired Of them,
whereas their grandmothers had to
stick to their meal tickets.
These, to my way Of thinking, are
four Of the principal reasons for the
increase in the number Of divorces.
But there are others
