STOCK MARKET
IS REACTIONARY,
TRADING 81 0 "
Auburn SIumps a Points
to AII-Time Low
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK. Dec. l3 G.N.S0.
The stock market was reaction
airy affair today, but trading was
at an extremely slow pace. Losses
ran to about two points in leaders
LiStless dealings were featured
by a precipitati drop in Auburn,
which tumbled almost 4 points to
an all-time low around 3. Selling
here was touched off by the filing
of a reorganization plan for the
company. under section 77-B of the
bankruptcy act.
Sinking of a U. S. gunboat by
the japanese caused some unset
tlement in Wall Street, but the
incident was scftenel by the i'm
mediate acceptance of responsible
ity and rapid apology.
LEADING LOSERS
Liquidation picked up in the
second hour and early fractional
declines we're extended to as much
as two points in some instances.
U. S. Steel and Bethlehem each
uOpPSu I1lOLS Glldll POll1G, Willie
Youngstown slipped nearly two
in the steel division. Chrysler
lost a point and General Motors
about the same. Losses of a point
or so also were shown by Ana
conda, American Smelling and
Kennecott in the coppers.
SEARS-ROEBUCK DROPS
Farm implement shares were
particularly weak, International
Harvester dropping three points
and Case more than two. Sears
Roebuck lost two in the mail or
ders, as did Westinghouse in the
electrical equipments.
In addition to Auburn, new lows
for the year were reached by
American Can, down two points;
American Tobacco B" and Ameri-
car Sugar.
Commodities we're mixed, wheat
and other grains improving mod
estly as cotton lost some ground.
Bonds were inclined to somewhat
lower levels in quiet trading.
American stocks were generally
steady abroad.

Girl
Amid Genius

In Laughter in Cheyne
Walk" Ursula Bloom gives a
rollicking character study of the
life Of a girl who was the only
normal one in her family.
The rest Of her family,
mother, father, sister and
brothers were all geniuses-men
and women who were doing
things and going places.
Father is a famous scientist,
mother is a novelist, her older
brother a 'ce1list, one brother a
great painter and the other a
great author.
And through it all there
strides Leslie McGarth, just
a girl who doesn't excel in any
thing but being herself. Quite
naturally she has a romance
=. with rich Lord Fame and an
other with a young man who
is not so rich.
The story is told with dis
tinct sense of humor and it has
gay. light-hearted appeal that
was intended to strike just the
right note for those who are re-
laxing these days, somewhere
near the tapping waters of some
cool spot on the bay, or drink
ing in a nice cool breeze on top
of nearby mountain.

Pastoral"
Is Unique

Eleanore Green took some.
thing more than her pen in
hand when she wrote The Hill"
She also took a yardstick and
set herself a hard measure to
duplicate. The Hill" was &C.
claimed as an extraordinarily
promising performance. It was
a compact and a curiously beau
tiful book. Half poetry, half
prose, woven into a warm, In
tensely human story.
Her new book, Pastoral" Is
somewhat more involved. Two
people dominate the scene, but
they are often swallowed up by
Miss Green's ruminative reflec.
lions on their relations to life in
general.
Those who like may find Q
hidden meaning in these philo-
Sophical asideS. Others may be-
come impatient at the sketchy
continuity. Regardless of that,
Miss Green is a young woman all
thoughtful readers will want to
watch. The Hill" may have
been a more enjoyable book than
Pastoral" but Pastoral" stands
alone as an unique experiment
in novel writing.

Fine Poetry
For Vacation

Singing Drums" by Helen
Welshimer, is the sort of book
Of verse you could give most
anybody. The selections are
short and pithy and Of an in
finite variety. People going off
on vacations could pick it up
en- route and forget to be bored
with the dullest scenery. Or
you could settle down with a
copy in your own hammock and
conquer the summer doldrums.
AS a matter of fact, if you have
what is known as a romantic
nature, you will probably put a
copy on your bedside table and
sit up reading half the night.
Helen Welshimer has, in a
manner of speaking, been
around. She knows you feel
pretty bad, but, like Margaret
Fishback (who belongs to the

Early Radio
TribulatiOns

The lusty, baw1ing infant
radio has grown so rapidly in
the few short years in which it
has become one of the biggest
things in American life that it
now has a history.
Credo Fitch Harris has writ
ten it. And Mr.. Harris perhaps
has as much right if not more
than most anyone in the radio
business today to explain just
how this miracle of the age be-
gan and grew. Mr.. Harris was
called in one April day in 1922
by Robert w. Bingham now
Ambassador to England, to start
WHAS on its merry and start
ling way.
NEEDED A REST
The idea was so new then,
Mr.. Harris explains in his book,
"Microphone Memoirs" that he
thought his friend needed a
rest. It wasn't long after he
undertook the job his friend
offered him that Mr.. Harris was
the one who needed a rest as he
barged along in his rollicking
way with this station.
Mr.. Harris was a writer of
novels before he stepped into
radio, and that experience has
helped him to give an accurate
and delightful picture of the
growth of radio in his book.
FULL OF ANECDOTES
The volume is full Of humor-
Gus anecdotes and really should
lead to Mr.. Harris doing some
thing about that 13-year-old girl
that he left hanging to a limb Of
a tree when he started as a
studio manager. According to Mr..
Harris he was we'll on his way
to give to the literary
world a romance centered
around this young lady when he
had to give it up for the waves
that talked" He gave it up so
quickly that he left his heroine
hanging to the tree limb waiting
for her hero to fight a duel.
