STOCK MARKET
RALLIES; POUND
AT 3-YEAR Low
Street Is Recovering
From War JitterS

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 G.N.S0
The stock market met support
today in the wake of the previous
sessions sharp decline on war
scare selling. Pivotal shares re-
covered a point or so Of yesterdays
/ to point losses, and trading
proceeded at quiet and orderly
pace.
Prime factor in the better tone
was the improvement in major
foreign markets before the New
York opening. Apparently finan-
cial quarters abroad have gotten
over their "jitters," at least for
the time being.
Selling of foreign currencies
persisted, however and the British
pound again dropped to new low
for the last three years, piercing
the $487 mark.
Recovery tendencies were paced
by steels, motors, chemicals,
metals and blue chips, chief bear
targets in yesterdays widespread
decline.
A large portion of gains were
realized in the first few minutes
of trading, a later attempt to
extend the upSwing meeting with
light selling in several sections.

away. If you do, I'll run away
again"
Mike glared at him and he sud-
denly saw himself in Mike. He
saw himself as a 9-year-old boy,
born and raised amid the hubbub
of the city. And he saw himself
suddenly transplanted into the
deadly quiet Of the country.
OK, kid" Julius said slowly,
IT get your point. It just goes to
show that it takes plenty of mind
to do good to anybody else because
you have to know how they feel
can see now what a big job God
has. But, anyway, I'm keeping

THE FORGOTTEN Boy
Daily Short Story
BY Charles McGuirk~

1t was then he found out he was
a lost boy, and, therefore, famous
Going out in the street to play,
he learned he was a hero. Early
in the evening Julius came to call
on him.
What was the idea Of running
away from that nice placer" he
demanded. Didn't those people
treat you right?"
"Yeh," Mike admitted, "they
were swell. But 1 didn't like the
country. It's too quiet. Honest.
Mr.. Wells, it was so quiet that it
hurt me-"
would you like if I sent you
back again? Look. Think Of the
nice food and the green things and
The Washington times., 1938-08-30

Julius had made arrangements
for Mike with a family named
Albion who farmed a place out
side of New Canaan, Connecticut.
George Albion and his wife were
middle-aged. They had two grown
boys and a girl, Melissa, nine.
SILENCE LIKE THUNDER
They were fine Christian people.
Their farm was 40 acres of titled
soil, pasture land, a woodlot and
a small pond. On it we're horses,
cows, turkeys, ducks and chickens.
1t was a paradise for any small
boy, with lots of interesting things
to do upon it. Mike hated it from
the first.
The Washington times., 1938-08-30

What he hated Immediately and
most was the silence. 1t came
down on him like thunder. He
had never been in a place that
wasn't full of sound and now he
felt like he did the time he had
fallen into an old cellar.
When the night came, the
world was more than ever like
that cellar. It was dark and still
and shot with little sounds Mike
had never heard before.
That first night, he sat at the
supper table secure in a new
knowledge. He knew for sure that
milk did come from COWS. He had
watched John Albion squirting it
into the pals from one cow after
the other.
He knew that horses were
nearly as big as elephants and
COWS were nearly as dumb as
chickens. He liked all the Albions
only they didn't hardly talk.
In the night, he was uncomfort
able in the nice clean bed and he
was cold, so that he pulled the
blankets about him. He listened
to the silence and he heard the
hoot of an owl. It was ScarJ
sound. He wondered "Who" what
ever it was was calling when il
whispered Who" and he got 81
scared he cried before he fel
asleep.

MIKE LEAVES FARM

Mike stood it for two weeks and
then, one day, he vanished. His
disappearance upset first the AL
bions and then the whole COM
munity.
Meanwhile, Mike thumbed ride
on a truck. It carried him eight
miles. He thuntSed another with
young guy in a flivver. This one
brought him to New York.
The roar of the city swept
against him and filled him with
the sensation of diving into a cold
pool after a long day in the heat
That night he slept in an alley
from which he was chased by a
prowling cop. He got home late in
the afternoon and his mother
swept him into her arms and Gov
cred him with kisses and then
nearly whaled the pants off him

A MAN learns. JULIUS wells
"A is a good man. He likes
to help his fellow man. Every
once in while he gets the
urge to do good to somebody.
If all men felt as Julius does,
the world would be wonderful
place to live in.
/ But Julius is more conservative
in distributing his largeSse since
his meeting with Mike Gerolimo.
CHURCHES AND CHECKS
julius is small, fat man with
black Shoe-button eyes and little
hair on his head. He is addicted
to church as some people are to
drink or drugs. He believes there
was no sin so black that a good
session at church and, maybe a
nice check for the poor won't
wash away.
Well, anyhow, Julius, one hot
summer night, happened to be
caught down on the East Side. 1t
had been a long time since he
had found himself in that section,
But now the Squalor struck him
in the eyes and in the ears and
in the noStrilS. He saw children
half starved and as fierce as little
wild beasts. He saw filth burgeon-
ing out of buildings not fit for
Ihabitation and yet filled to over
flowing with fetid humanity.
This Is terrible" he told him.
self. WHY, most of those kids will
grow up criminals. Maybe, if some
of them saw the beauty of the open
country and growing things and
animals, maybe they'd get new
ideas about life.
The thought and its possibilities
gripped him and he talked it over
with his pastor.
HELPING FORGOTTEN BOY"
What I'd like to do," he told
him, "is t. take one kid out of that
slums down there and send him
away for 2 month to the country
I'd put him in with nice Chris
tian family on a farm. I'd let him
do exactly what he pleased. AT
the end Of the month I'd like to
look him over. Get the idea?"
II do" the Rev. Browne told him,
land I think it is magnificent
idea. Now, how would you have
the boy chosen, Mr.. Wells? Do
you want us to choose him fer
you?"
mo-" julius explained. 81 want
to pick him myself. I'll pick out
the one that I think is the most
promising Then, I'll give you my
check to cover all his expenses for
a months stay in the country.
"Very WE'LL" the Rev. Browne
agreed. How old do you think the
child ought to be?"
About eight, I think" Julius
decided. I'll have him ready for
you any day soon"
FINDS HIS EXPERIMENT
It took Julius about an hour to
pick him. A big boy darted among
a group of little boys in the street
and struck one. He was turning
away when another dark little
black-eyed boy ran toward him
with a stone in each hand. He
threw one and it struck the bully
between the shoulders.
AS he whirled the little boy drew
back his arm to throw the other
one and kept coming toward him.
The bully turned and ran. The
boy threw the second stone, but
missed and Julius Snagged him
by the collar.
whats your name?" he de-
manded.
II didn't do nothin'," his pris-
oner Snarled. "That big guy was
hittin' my partner"
The kid examined julius with
shrewd interest and listened to
him as the other boys gathered
around,

DEAR MISS CHATFIELD:

DEAR MISS CHATFIELD:
We can give the proof that we
Bpve each other; we have been 60
,,lhg together for six years and
neither of us has had a date with
anybody else nor even wanted one
During all this time we have made
one plan after another to get mar
ried and every plan has been knock
ed in the head. He is a poor boy
and I am also poor and we didn't
want to get married until we could
feel secure in a small way. He
talks of going off to find job
that will pay him enough to marry
on but I felt that 1 couldn't endure
to see him go for at least We have
been able to see one another. At
present he is barely making a liv-
ing for one on his little farm. We
need your help. Please give it.
MABEL.
ANSWER:-My dear girl, with no
parents to subsidize your marriage
and no prospects of any ships
coming in, it seems to me you'd
better revise your ideas about fin
ancial security and try to figure
how the two of you might work
together on the farm and exc out
a living that would keep the wolf
from the door.
"a Couldn't you do what other farm
Ir's wives have done; raise chickens
and other small stock that would
be cash crop? Hadn't you rather
get married, work hard and be
poor than to see your fiance go
off to make his way in the world
and run the risk of his being
diverted by some other girl?
I know how hope deferred has
made your heart sick Indeed this
is one of the tragedies of our time
that so many young people have
had to drag out their romances
interminably, hoping for breaks
that never come, making new plans
only to have them knocked in the
head by circumstances which they
couldn't foresee and circumstances
over which they had no control.
The most pitable of all are the
young people in cities who have
nothing more than a rented room
they can call their own from week
to week. Those who can boast
ownership of a little plot of ground
have, at least, the proverbial shoe
string on which many couple has
n. managed to live and save and even
eually prosper.
~ Now get out your farm magazines
and bulletins, study them to see
how other farmers and their wives
have started from scratch ano
made their land yield them liv-
ing with a few luxurieS. So long as
the two of you are young ane
strong and have no dependent.
there's no reason why you should
MT wiring living from your lant
and have the fun of being togethe

It also was said to require that
