STOCKS HIGHER
IN EXTREMELY
DULL TRADE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May IS U.N.S)
Trading turned extremely dull in
the stock market today after a
fairly brisk opening, with the gen
eral list settling into a narrow
range slightly above their previous
cloSings.
SteelS led a vigorous upswing at
the start, rejecting the price ad-
vances in finished steel products
for third quarter delivery, but a
steady trickle of profit taking
made its appearance soon after
and stocks slid back from their
best levels in short order.
Other Gains Small
Aside from the steel group,
gains were mostly of negligible
proportions. Bethlehem gained a
point and U. S. Steel Preferred
spurted 2 points, while the COM
mon moved fractionally higher.
Louisiana Oil preferred contin-
ued its spectacular advance, which
has continued uninterruptedly
over the past two weeks, skyrocket-
ing 10 points to new 1885 peak
before encountering profit taking.
Rails and rubbers were frac-
tionally improved. the latter in re-
Spouse to predictions of another
increase in prices before July 4.
Oils were led upward by Stand
ard Of New Jersey, which at one
time was a point above Saturdays
final quotation. Atlantic Refining
and Socony-Vacuum were moder-
ately active.
AmuSements Lower
Amusement shares moved con-
trary to the general trend. Loew's,
Warner Brothers and Paramount
were practionally lower in light
dealings. Mining shares also were
depressed, U. S. Smelling and
Dome mines each losing a point.
A few volatile issues scored wide
gains. Case, Westinghouse and
U. s. Gypsum each ran up 2 and
more points. American type
founders preferred spurted more
than 6.
Bonds we're irregularly higher.

OIL SHARES DIP
ON MIXED CURB
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, May Is QN.S0
Curb stocks continued at 1rregu-
larly higher levels in later dealings
with an easier tone in the oils and
the mining shares tending to check
a more positive advance in the en-
tire list. Trading was in moderate
volume.
A few fair gains were established
in the power shares. National
Power, preferred, climbed almost
3 points to break through the 30
mark again. Apex Electric added
a point, selling at 81. The Electric
Bond and Share and Cities Service
issues were showing light gains.
Electric Power and Light, second
preferred A, again improved.
Although Root Petroleum was
fairly active at an advance Of al
most a point and Humble Oil
gained about as much, other oils
were displaying an easier tone.
Texas Oil, Imperial, and South
Penn we're soft spots.
Realization developed in Lake
Shore and Hudson Bay Mining
after recent strength, causing a
loss of more than a point in the
former. Other metals were little
changed.
In the miscellaneous shares ad-
vances were limited. Doehler Die
Casting added a point, but early
gains Of more than a point in
Technicolor were cut in half.
Dictograph made another new

ETIQUETT TE
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. S.CORNEL1US BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II have a friend in a hospital
who is to be operated on very soon.
1 have only known him for about
three months, but he means a lot
to me, and it seems as if / have
always known him.
81 have visited him once at the
hospital and took him some maya
zines, but as he gets tired of read
ing continually, 1 would like to
know if it would be correct to take
him any other gift, and if so, what
would be appropriate?
II would like to give him some
thing that would help to pass the
time as it seems very hard for him
to reconcile himself to being un-
occupied and he gets discouraged
at times.
II cannot spend as much time
with him as he would like, and
therefore would like to make it
up to him in some other way.
ct"
Why not send your friend a
note every day, a gay, friendly
note that will start his day with
a happy tone? And your imagl-
nation might think up some
amusing surprise" either to send
with the note or during the day.
1t might be as simple a thing as
an interesting clipping from a
newspaper or a magazine, or a
poem you think he'd like; or a
weekly magazine that has been
published that day; or some
amusing trifle from the five-and-
ten-cent store, something that
might have some reference to
something you have seen to-
gether.
Or you might send him one
of those clear glass bubble balls
with a single flower in it.
they are lovely to send to
hospital patient, for the flower
keeps so fresh and dewy. Or a
small bowl of goldfish is de-
ightful for a patient to watch,
so bright and busy.
If he is allowed to smoke send
him one day a package or two
OF his favorite cigarettes. If he
is allowed to have fruit or
sweets, send him one day some
fruit and the next day some
not-too-sweet candies to nibble
on or some preserved half slices
of orange or lemon or grape
fruit.
Don't try to make your gifts
important or consequential in
themselves-it is the little
thoughts arriving at a hospital
room that help so wonderfully to
break the monotony Of the hours.

The above is an extract from a
letter which is typical. Hundreds
of such letters have come to this
column.
After a while, crying herself to

average girl, in such circum-
stances, wasteful way to squan-

YOUTH! After months of this
sort of thing, even years some
times, a girl is open to argument
for all sorts of risky escapes from
such a dreary existence.
1 hope every parent took the
time to read about the trial of
Lucky" Luciano and his lieu
tenants, charged with controlling
New York city's $4,000, ,000-a-year
vice industry. Testimony indicated
that strict parents, wretched
homes and unemployment landed
these girls in traps from which
there was no escape.
Sometimes they were there be-

which are managed exactly like
the show business, sending girls
from town to town.
Confinement Is Futile
There isn't space to give the de-
tails of this revolving trade, which
devoured thousands of girls yearly
like the dragon Of the old fable.
And when they're once in the dra-
CONS NAV, the public has a way
of feeling that it's better, more
comfortable, to forget all about
them.
The unthinking do not realize
that the taxpayer will have 70

asylums and almshouses.

Mrs. RooseVelt's White House
garden party to delinquent girls,
not long ago, is still being much
discussed. The writer was present
at the First Lady's press confer.
ence when she spoke of the futility
of shutting up such girls back Of
high walls. and not teaching them
how to make an honest living when
they're let out.
Cannot Repress Youth
And Mrs. Roosevelt thought, too,
that a little kindness and human
ity in dealing with these girls
some of whom we're as young sS
13 and IA years Of age-Would not
come amiss.
So they were all invited to the
White House to a garden party,
and treated exactly like any other
guests; given ice cream, cake and
fruit punch, and then taken by
Mrs. Roosevelt herself and shown
MANY of the White House treas
ures, George Washington's china
among the rest.
Unknowingly, parents and
sometimes the fonest of widowed
mothers-all unintentionally turn
a girls feet in the wrong direction.
Every penny from an overworked
daughters pay envelope is needed
at home, and her mother forgetS
about the time when she was
young, and the urge for a little
fun was irresistible.
So whether you've read tho
horrors of the Luciano vice ring
or not, please let your daughter
see her friends at home, no matter
how humble it may be. And
please don't think-you mothers
and fathers-that you're solving
your daughters problems when
you shut her up and bolt the door.
Youth cannot be entirely re-
pressed and remain normal.

On guest nights, roasts can BET
used. Even though the initial eX-
pense of these seem high, in the
long run they are economical.
The meat can be served appetiz-
ingly for several meals.
For the small family, two-rib
roast of beef, a loin of lamb,
four-rib rack of veal, a small leg
of lamb, are all excellent choices.
The modern method of roasting
is rather simple if the proper
equipment is at hand. An open
dripping pan is the ideal utensil.
However, any type of roasUer can
be used. The roast is cooked
without the addition of water and
without being covered.
Time Chart
The meat thermometer provides
an accurate way of determining
when the roast is cooked. The
length of time that it is cooked
depends on the weight. If no
thermometer is available, this
time chart can be followed:
For a rare roast of beef, 18 to
20 minutes per pound is required
in an oven set at 800 degrees;
for a medium roast, % to 25
minutes per pound; for a roast
we'll done, 27 to 80 minutes per
pound is needed.
In placing the roast in the pan,
it is important that it be put in
with the fat side up as in cooking
the fat melts and runs down over
the meat preventing it from dry
ing out. If the meat is rather dry,
then strips of bacon should be
laid across the top.
This menu provides an attrac-
tive guest dinner for six:
Roast Prime Rips of Beef au jus
Parsley Potato Marbles
