 New York, Sept. 3-(UP)-Stocks started strong and active today as shorts covered in advance of the Labor Day holiday shutdown. Longs later realized profits and their sell ing reduced gains.
 Experts said the market, relieved for the moment of pressure from the European situation, was fol- lowing the course of business. Major lines this week reported further gains, the only exception being department store sales.
 Steel centers reported improved schedules for next week despite the holiday and predictions were made that the operating rate would reach 50 pc rcent of capacity before the end of the month. At present it is at A per cent, highest since Mo- vember l, 1887.
 Fifty-one major Toledo plants, mainly automotive, reported a small decline in employment from the previous week, but this was deem- ed only temporary adjustment in the uptrend in the automobile in dustry, which now is getting into action on the 1889 models.
 Chrysler touched 75 3-8, fell to "A 1-2 and recovered to its high again. General Motors at its top of 48 7-8 was up 5-8. Briggs manu- featuring sold at 36 1-2 up and Electric Auto-Lite was up nearly a point.
 Building issues enjoyed 8 good market with new highs in Holland Furnace, U. s. Gypsum, and Crane Company.

New York, Sept. g. (UP) - War scares swayed world markets this week. Prices dropped when the European crisis was acute and strengthened later when Germany promised no nasty action in Czecho- slovakia.
 Stocks broke 4.89 points in the Dow-Jones industrial average on Monday, the widest declire since March 29. On Tuesday and We'd nesday there were moderate recov- cries. On Thursday, rails led a de- cline when mediation efforts on the wage controversy broke down. On Friday the list made its best ad- vance since July 19, nearly wiping out the earlier losses and leaving the financial district in more cheerful mood.
 Strength in business indices in- duced many experts to predict a substantial pickup shortly if Euro pean tension eases.
 August building, according to en- gineering news record, was the best for the month since 1880. Car load ings for the week ended last Satur- day set a new high since Decem- Der II, 1887. Steel operations reach- ed A per, cent, the highest since November 1. Automobile production increased.
 Best performers in stocks were issues of the automobile group and allied industries. Steels and cop pers, also large suppliers of mater ial for the motor group, came back well on Friday.
 The most disconcerting move was break in the railroad average on Thursday to new low levels since early July.

the American working girls-clerks,

fact, however, that they clothe their

Ritz, Hotel Head, Here on Tour
Of U. S. to DispeI Word 'Ritsy'
1t Hurts Business, He
Says, Commenting on
american, Habits.

Charles Ritz. son Of the founder
of the Ritz hotels and director OF
the Paris Ritz, was in Washington
yesterday near the end Of a 40-day
9,000-mile airplane tour Of the United
States, which was undertaken for
practically the sole purpose OF gently
dispelling from the minds of the
American people that odious little
adjective, "ritzy."
Mr.. Ritz says the word was started
by people who used to read in the
papers news of the doings of Ameri-
cas- select at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
in New York. People probably be-
came little awed at the name of
the hotel in which so many promi-
nent social functions seemed invaria-
bly, to take place." Mr.. Ritz says.
That wasn't good for the hotel in
the first place, and the coming OF
that awful little word 'ritzy' didn't
help any"
Mr.. Ritz banged his fist on the
table in his hotel room. Maybe in
our European hotels the word would
apply little better.
Two American Qualities.
Europeans ask and demand metic-
ulous service. and We try to give it
to them. In our New York hotel,
though, We sell more chicken hash
than in any other one. Americans
want something they can chew easily
while they talk. They take probably
As minutes for lunch and don't have
time for fussy food. Europeans don't
care what time it is if the food Is
all right"
Americans have two qualities which
stand out to European, Mr.. Ritz
believes. One is courtesy, the other
accuracy. 'The amazing courtesy of
Americans is probably due to the
fact they know it's good business,
but, whatever the cause, they're
courteous"
As for accuracy, he says. Americans
know exactly what they want and
how much they will pay for it. and
they won't take anything else or
pay any other price. That's because
Americans are so standardized in
their tastes, he says. Europeans, on
the other hand, probably get better
food and possibly better service be-
cause their tastes are more elastic.
Imagine waiter telling two Amer
lean business men sitting down for
lunch that they can't have such-and-
such to eat, but that he strongly ad-
vises such-and-such! The poor
waiter would be lucky if he escaped
with his hair A European probably
would change his mind in favor OF
the walters suggestion.

ROOSEVELT SETS
KENTUCKY SPEECH
To Talk in Covington July 5,
He Assures Majority
Leader Barley.
By J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt will speak
briefly in Kentucky on July 8 In
behalf of his personal friend, Senator
Barkley, majority leader, who is hav-
ing opposition in his campaign for
reelection.
The President gave Senator Barkley
this assurance at the White House
today, during an early morning con-
ference.
This speech will be made in Gov
ington, KY, in the afternoon, a few
hours after a brief address by the
President at Marietta, Ohio The
Marietta speech will be the first to
be delivered by Mr.. Roosevelt on a
trip across the Continent before going
on a cruise in the Southern Pacific
waters. -
The Marietta visit will be in con-
nection with celebration to COM
memorate the opening of the North
west Territory. The remainder Of
the Presidents trip is more or less
tentative, although the President in
tends to make a number of stops,
including one in Oklahoma City,
when he will publicly indorse the
candidacy of Senator Elmer Thomas
for reelection. Stops will be made
also in Tennessee and Texas and
several other points. ..
The Texas stop will be to give the
President an opportunity to have a
brief visit with his son Elliott, who
lives on ranch not far from Fort
Worth.
There is probability that the Pres
ident may route his trip across the
continent to permit visit to Port
Huron, Mich, and so participate in
ceremonies incident to the dedication
of an international bridge. He also will
visit one or two of the national parks.
AS now planned, the Presidents ex-
pedition will consume at least 80 days,
and when he returns he plans to leave
Washington as soon as possible to go
to Hyde Park, N. Y, to spend the
greater part of the summer there.
In advance of the western trip, the
President mas several short trips in
mind, the first of which will be to Ma
hant, Mass, to attend the wedding
June l8 of his youngest son, John, to
Miss Anne Clark. On June 27 the
President will go to Wilmington, Del.
to participate in ceremonies commem-
