NEW YORK, June 22.-The stock
market took its cue from steels today,
picking up fractions to a point or so.
The trading pulse quickened little
over yesterday and shares sauptered
quietly forward, although the ri1e was
not uniform.
Traders took courage from efforts to
arrive at a peaceful solution of the
steel strikes. They bought. timidly at
the start, and although they seemed
noon, most of them stayed on the buy
ing side.
Here and there were signs of short
covering, brokers reported. This was
induced, some said, by the calm way
the market has digested an ample
budget of disturbing news lately. in
cluding the fall of the Blum cabinet
in France and disappointing railroad
earnings.
Transactions approxmated $50 900
shares.
Equities in favor most of the session
were United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Republic, youngstown Sheet g. Tube,
Inland Steel. Wheeling Steel, General
Motors, Chrysler Goodyear, United
States Rubber, WoolWorth, Interna-
tional Harvester, Deere, Boeing, Amer
lean Telephone, Western Union, Elec-
trio Power & Light, Anaconda, Kenne-
colt, American Can, Illinois Central,
Santa Fe, Great Northern Preferred.
Paramount and Celaness.
Stocks which got the cold shoulder
much of the time were American
Smelling, Socony-Vacuum, Continent
tai Oil, Allied Chemical, Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit, Southern Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Loft, Continental
Can and National Dairy.
In some circles opinion prevailed
that unless France quickly irons out
political differences there may follow
confusion which would impair that
nations part in the tri-partite mone-
tary agreement. This, it was argued,
would result in at least a momentary
upset in currency markets with possi-
Bile passing adverse repercussions on
stock prices.

NESPER VOICES

When the quiet summer evenings crimson sunset
curtain falls
Shedding twilight Ger the landscape there are
numerous, SoIt low calls,
That to me are Vesper Voices, raised in solemn,
thankful praise,
And I seek some nook to listen to their sacred,
tuneful lays.
There's cricket choral chorus in the grass about
my feet,
And o'erhead the nighthawk's crying, seeking food
on wing so fleet;
While in the hedge mother bird is twitt ering on
her nest,
A sweet and grooming lullaby that soothes her
young to rest.
A vesper sparrow perched upon an old rail fence
near by,
Now MARBLES forth a song of silver, ere the day
shall die;
And from a hollow tree hear blue birds spiral
note,
While from the mill pond comes plaintive song
from green frogs throat.
The soft sweet song of robin from the ridge board
on the shed
Tells rain is not far distant there gathering
clouds of lead;
The tinkng water, tumbling DER the sluiceway
in the race,
Denotes the ml-whees silence from it's all day
grinding pace.
And from distant meadow comes the lowing of
COW,
hear farm boy whistling, sauntering in from
field and plow
And then there float sweet love-laugh notes from
out the near by lane,
That tell me of two happy hearts maiden and
her swain.
And now my mind slips backward to those evenings
long ago,
I hear again those love-notes whispered to me soft
and low;
Once more 1 hear two lsping toddlers beg at
eventide,
To tell them pity stories" while they cuddle at
my side.
live again those happy love-Ht days SO bright
so true,
Before the grim stern Reaper stole my love and
tossdlers two;
And in imagination distant voices to me roam
Telling me I've reached lifes Vesper and I'll soon
be going home.

Anderson Gives Free
Ice Box Gauge

Amazing evidence that the rath-
er broad warnings issued during
recent years about ice box tenn
peratures have not been idle has
just been disclosed as result of
a countrywide check-up into the
matter, according to VIM. j. An
derson of Anderson Radio & Elc-
trio Co., authorized Frigidaire
dealers.
"Ninety-one per cent Of all ice
boxes checked revealed that food
compartment temperatures were
in the high danger zone" said Mr..
Anderson. The high danger zone
of a refrigerator is any point above
so degrees, for above that point
most of the perishable foods spoil
very rapidly. This, of course, is
not necessarily our own verdict,
but it is the finding of practically
every authority on the subject,
including the laboratories of the
United States government.
The temperature survey recent
ly concluded covered many parts
of the entire United States, from
one coast to the other. 1t was
not conducted by Frigidaire, but
was completely in the hands of an
independent organization, not a
part of Frigidaire or of General
Motors. The organization was
told to get the exact facts what
ever they were, and this it has
done.
"Of all the hundreds of boxes
checked, almost tWo-thirdS of
those found above so degrees were
in moderately cool kitchens, rang
ing from 76 to IS degrees.
while some of the danger zone
boxes lacked sufficient ice, the
great majority were found to be
from half full to full of ice.
Entirely from the standpoint
of health and protection, the need
for refrigerators maintaining con-
slant temperatures below the so
degree danger point cannot be
too greatly emphasized"
Mr.. Anderson stated that his
organization is prepared to assist
any householder to determine the
condition of his refrigerator. Free
to any adult who requests it, and
without other obligation of any
kind, Mr.. Anderson is giving a de-
vice especially designed to check
home refrigerators. Called a cold
gauge, it shows the three zones to

Elmer on TechnOlOgical Trends
Copyright, 1887, by The Asso-

Elmer on archaeological Trends
Elmer TWitChell is all worked
up over the recent report to the
President on archaeological Trends
by the National Resources Com
mittee, which urged that the gov
ernment watch all inventions and
take steps to control them before
they upset our whole plan of liv-
ing. Elmer has also filed a report
at Washington in which he calls
attention to many specific inven-
tions which need attention, par
ticularly the paper napkin.
Never has the paper napkin
invaded American life to such pro-
portions as it has this summer"
declares Elmer. 1T is an out
standing cause of nervous pros
tration. Eighty per cent of the
jitters now afflicting the Ameri-
can race can be traced to the pa
per napkin.
IF we had had a Bureau of
Coming Events at Washington we
could have acted before the paper
drinking cup made such strides,
too, and before the fashion
ed tin dipper designer, tin cup
manufacturer and glass blower
had been knocked in the head.
The effect of the paper drinking
cup on our social system is beyond
appraisal. It's got so the average
man can't enjoy a drink of water
unless it is dripping down on his
shirt.
What has the Roosevelt ad-
done about beer in
tin cans? Bottlers have been
thrown out of work everywhere
and 1 know g. lot of people who
nave quit drinking beer. Unless the
rend is stopped somebody will be
,ffering champagne in tin cans.

INEXCUSABLE
DALLIANCE

i'm utilizing the beacon on the Wright Memo
rial at Kill Devil Hill.
When the memorial, with its powerful
beacon designed as an aid to navigation as
we'll as aviation. was completed in 1882, the
Bureau of Lighthouses explained that the
beacon could not be lighted because its il
Illumination was dependent upon its own
lighting plant and that illumination would
have to wait upon commercial electrical
ton, the generating plant at the monument
being designed for use only as an auxiliary
in case of an emergency.
A wear ago the Virginia Electric & Power
Company extended its lines from MoyOck
to Roanoke Island, making current avail
able for the Wright Memorial beacon. Then
the Bureau of Lighthouses told us that be-
fore the beacon could be used it would be
necessary to have it on all charts in the
hands of cOastwise shipping SO that it would
not be confused with some other lighthouse.
Now we are told that it probably will be
years before the beacon is used, if ever used
at all. Why?
This newspaper happens to know that the
Bureau of Lighthouses was most enthusi-
astic for light on Kill Devil Hill, when the
form a Wright mc>uoral should take was
first under discussion.
1t cannot be pleaded now that the light
houses at Currituck Beach and Bodie Island
offer adequate protection to navigation at
this point on the coast.
1t is notorious fact that the arcs of Wis
ibility of Currituck Light on the north and
Bodie Island Light on the south fail to Lap
at this point. There is always a dark tri-
angular area off Kill Devil Hill in which area
neither the light of Currituck nor the LIGHT
of BOdie Island is visible to mariners at sea.
Kitty Hawk, not 1ateras, is today the Grave
ward of the Sea of the North Carolina coast
The number of shipwrecks on the beach op-
poste Kill Devil Hill are mute testimony TO
this significant fact.
And without its beacon the Wright Me-
mortal, towering approximately $50 feet
above sea level, is a hazard to all aircraft
using the shore line between New York and
Miami.
Why then does the Bureau of Lighthouses
refuse to utilize this much-needed aid to
navigation? Is it because of petty depart
mental jealousy, because this monument is
under the Department of the Interior instead
