Stock Averages

BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK. July 27.-An abrupt
turn to the selling side today tumbled
the stock market from the high perch
it had attained on its rapid climb
starting June 90
Many shares dropped fractions to
about 4 points before they caught a
firm hold. The heaviest wave of Offer
ings came in the forenoon following
a false start on the upside at the
opening. Another outburst of selling
in the afternoon was short-lived, but
rallying power was limited
In a scramble by traders TO get out
OF the market when it became appar-
ent the initial upturn would not carry
through. the ticker fell as much as 7
points behind dealings on the floor,
The swift decline of steel motor,
chemical and other speculative fa-
vorites in the recent advance indi-
Gated the drop had touched off line
Of stop-loss orders, brokers said.
Taken as Natural
Generally analysts were inclined 10
take the setback as a corrective"
reaction, natural in light of the fast
climb from the mid-Llne low points
Losses were shaved bit toward
the close after selling dried up.
Transactions approximated 2,000,-
900 shares.
The swift recovery of railroad bonds
also got hard jolt as traders dumped
holdings hastily when they saw stocks
go into the tailspin Most commodi.
ties held better than security mar
kets. Cotton near the finish was to
35 cents a bale down.
A minor rally in wheat left Chicago

Steels Also Drop.
Steels ran with the rest of the mar
ket, although declaration of the reeu-

end put the spotlight on hopes for
extension of the July upswing in that
industry.

recent favorites as Bethlehem. United

Questions on
Matters Of
Etiquette
By EMILY POST.


nEAR MRS. POST: In our house
We serve salad on q separate
plate but with the meat course. Will
you tell me whether the salad fork
should be next to the plate or next
to the dinner fork which Is next to
the plate?
Answer-No matter what you serve.
the forks should be put together side
by side 1T the left of the plate. If
you are going to provide two forks
for the same course don't see that
1t matters which one comes first.)
In your own house you have, Of
course, every right to serve anything
in any way that you choose, but
from the point of view OF etiquette
it Is absolutely incorrect to serve
salad and meat with vegetables at
the same time. II no vegetables are
served and the salad Is therefore in
tended to be. eaten with the meal,
that Is another matter.

Manners
of the
Moment

ONE Of the most popular ways OF
warding OF the male is the method
known as giving him the laugh.
This Is done by laughing, not gig
Cling. That works to the opposite ef-
feet. It sounds too much like en-
barrassed pleasure. A good. hearty
laugh is necessary.
1t is a laugh which says, you're
making a. fool Of yourself" This laugh
Is sometimes accompanied by smart
wisecrack. But, since a girl may be
caught between shows when she has
no wisecracks to repeat, the laugh is
often used alone.
1t is, Of course, most effectively used
at q moment when the male is becom-
ing sufficiently serious to feel a bit
silly, anyhow. Then 1t works like a
man washing dishes-breaks every
thing all up. JEAN.

such technical subjects for the Joy
Of the veterinary profession. A few
phases in the life of hookworm were
open to them. For one. they discovered
that the hookworm had fancy name.
"Uncinariases." 1t resembles q hair.
only 1t has six teeth, and . hair
hasn't.
A pup can pick up few hookworms
by passing where another dog has been.
Hookworms operate much in the man.
ner Of hitch mixers. They hop the first
piece of traffic (canine) who moves
slowly enough.
Dogs with hookworm get q lacka-
daisical look. They're neither sick nor
well. Food interests them. but the
edge Is off, Nothing's really exciting
except fight. Even that takes energy.
They're too sick to be so well, and vice
versa. Puppies with the disease COL
lapse and die suddenly. The situation
isn't so noticeable to the lay eye. In a
young dog, anyway. One expects al
most anything of puppy!
A laboratory test made by the vet
erinarian, is the deciding factor. Once
he knows how matters stand, he cali
see to it that the worms make q speedy
exit. Dog doctors usually prescribe a
course Of rubbery looking pills to put
the drug where it'll do the most good.
That's their business. The only affair
Of the dog owner is to get the pup to
the doctor when things look q bit
symptomatic.
After the eradication Of tho pest,
sprinkle the yard with heavy salt
solution to kill of any inhabitants Of
hookwormy nature waiting for an
other chance
Then, keep the dog OF walks and
damp grass where CANNES may have
been before. In general, beware Of the
other dog!

Dorothy Dix Says
Some Men and Women Are Not
Suited to Married Life.

NOR should the stingy man marry.
Wives are an expensive luxury.
It takes more money to keep q family
than it does to keep . yacht. The
price Of marriage comes high and no
man should marry who begrudges
the cost. It doesn't make for peace
and happiness Of q wife for her hus-
band to be always rowing over the
bills and making her feel that he re-
grets the bad bargain he made in
investing In her and the children.
No woman should marry who wants
to follow . career, for careers and
marriage no more mix than oil and
water. The woman who wants to give
every ounce of her strength and en-
ergy to making her business or her
profession q success; who must spend
much Of her time away from home lee
turing or singing or acting or chasing
down orders, who must sacrifice her
self and all connected with her to her
ambitions. should stay single.
one Is married 10 Ner career ana ncf
husband runs bad second. It doesn't
make a happy home for = man to
have to pinch hit for . wife who Is too
busy to attend to the housekeeping and
who is too tired and exhausted when
she comes home at night to be . gay
and interesting companion.
The woman who is celibate by ma.
ture should never marry. To her all
men are excrescences on the face Of
Nature that could have been per-
fectly well omitted; blunderers who
are always under foot when one is
cleaning up: trouble makers who
track in mud and hang up towels upon
the floor; monsters who have to be fed
on roast beef and potatoes instead of
tea and toast. The old maid wife's
husband always wonders why he did 1t
and she did 1t.
Nor should the unadaptable woman
marry; nor the born boss; nor the
woman who looks upon marriage a.

grist Of the divorce mill, even when
they are the best Of women, lust be.

The Old Gardener Says:

About the middle Of July it will
be we'll to remove a little Of the
surface soil from window boxes
and add fresh earth. During the
remainder of the season, the
plants will need q little extra
feeding If they are to continue to
grow and bloom. There are q
number Of plant foods on the
market, some Of them In tablet
form, which have been made up
according to formulas especially
worked out for house plants and
window boxes. The fact must be
remembered that flower boxes
are exposed to the air on all sides,
so that evaporation takes place
rapidly. For that reason water
must be given at frequent inter-
walls, but 1t is better to give the
soil good soaking every other
day than to merely sprinkle the
boxes every few hours.

LEARNED Judge. After vate

kAANANSO JAA0Cb 0AVCA WdV(AA
n ing divorce trials for quar-
~ ter Of q century, says: There
4 should be . law to prevent
persons divorced three times from
getting married again. Three strike
outs should retire the most ardent and
determined seeker after martial bliss. "
It should do more. It should con-
vince these misfit marriers that either
they are very poor pickers Of husbands
and wives. or else that they are them
selves not adapted to the holy estate.
IT at first you don't succeed, try, try
again" is not good matrimonial slo-
gan. Two attempts is really enough.
Three should be out. And no repeat
ing.
The trouble is that We cherish the
native belief that Everybody Is fitted
by nature for marriage and that pull
ing OF happy marriage is a task so
easy and simple that child or q fool
can do it. 1t never occurs to us that
to be . good husband or wife takes
any especial talent for the job such
as would be required, for instance, for
making . success in business or sing
ing in grand opera. So when We 60
bankrupt in marriage, or are given
the hook, We don't reflect that the
reason Of our failure Is generally due
to the fact that we have been trying
to do something for which we were
united by temperament or training.
We merely blame the divorce on the
party Of the other part, and try mar
riage over again with the some dis
astrous result.
THERE are people who have q genius
for marrying and who could be
happy themselves and make even .
crouch or . nagger purr under their
hands. But there are other people
who have no facility whatever for
domesticity, who would mess up any
marriage and fight with Romeo or
Patient Griselda. There are plenty
Of worthy men and women who should
never marry Just because they haven't
the gift for it.
Among men who should never marry,
for example, are the philanderers.
There are many men who know in
their souls that they can never be
true to any one woman. Every fresh
face allures them. Every huttering
petticoat Is q signal to them to get up
and follow. Life is dull and nat to
them II they are not engaged in some
affair. They have loved q hundred
women. They will love q thousand
more, which would make no particular
difference If they stayed single. It Is
only when the philanderer marries and
his infidelities shame his wife and
break her heart that he commits q
crime.
The undomestic man should never
marry. There are men to whom free
dom Is the very breath Of life. They
must have liberty to come and 90 as
they please, or else they are miserable.
To such men home Is . prison. Their
wives are jailers. Marriage Is q ball
and chain around their feet.
All right for man to put on his hat
and 60 down to the club as soon as
his dinner is over or stay out all night
playing poker with the boys or 60 OF
fishing or play golf every Sunday 30
long as he has nobody's pleasure but
his own to consider. but it is pretty
tough on the wife who is left to spend
her evenings by her lonesome and
whose only companion is the cat.

for at least one beneficial mark left
upon the camping of today. What
was learned then about keeping camps
healthy. has held over to our own
time, and put recreational camping
on q higher plane in this respect
than ever before It was In 1923
that the Girl Scouts established their
minimum standards" of health and
safety, to which all their camps have
since conformed. Out Of the mass
camping Of the Army era, the in
dividual has today emerged from the
mass-and emerged healthier.
One Of the characteristics of modern
camping generally is its new educa-
tional aspect. It has gradually come
to the consciousness Of the outdoor
lover that he can make his immediate
camp site into more than just . place
for enjoyment Of the outdoors. He
may make it into place where native
customs and crafts can be observed
and studied.
In Girl Scout camps activities are
encouraged which are indigenous to
the locale Of the camp site. Girls en-
camped In Michigan, Just across from
. Canadian Indian reservation, learn
basket-weaving from the squaws them
selves. In Camp Timber Trail, In the
northern peninsula Of Michigan, the
girls are trained to fight forest fires,
and Tor this their camp has been
awarded honorable mention Of the
Forest Rangers. In the Sierra Ne
vadas. mountain climbing; In the
Rockies, pack trips and trail riding
are in order On sea coast or lake shore
many Girl Scouts are mariners, han
ding any craft from . schooner to .
canoe. In Colorado and California
they learn something about gold min
ing; In the Middle West, something
about the production Of wheat; In the
South, something about native Negro
music. Carding, spinning and weaving
are practiced in the Kentucky noun
tains, while In the Ozarks the girls
collect songs. In Honolulu they weave
"lauhala," are taught by An old Ha-
waiian woman how to take the long
leaves of the pandanus tree and FASH
ion them into .hangings
Camps everywhere are more and
more taking on the color of their
immediate environs With the indi-
vidualization Of the camper has come
the NATURALIZATION Of the camp.

rabies, getting into fights and

hookworm. And in the excitement of

Huntsville, Ala, April 2O.-(AP)-
Seeking a solution to labor differences
which threaten it's major industries,
this Tennessee valley community of
$1,000 closed it's business, enterprises
today as a motor caravan sought the
aid of Governor Graves at Mont

The immediate problem is the re-
opening of the Dallas textile mill, idle
since last November. The mill en-
ploys 800 under normal production.
Mayor A. w. McAllister and other
city and county officials instituted a
"Save Huntsville Day." and called cit
liens to join a volunteer motorcade
to Montgomery for a conference with
the governor.
Meanwhile, in Raleigh, N. c., the
annual meeting of the Fellowship OF
Southern Churchmen, in session there
telegraphed Governor Graves, of Ala
bama, urging that he not use his pow
err to open textile mills at Huntsville
except under terms of settlement "mu-

company"
Rev. T. B. Cowan, of Chattanooga

Paris, April 2O.-(AP) = Foreign
Minister Bonnet presented to the cab
met today an outline of his plans for
strengthening Frances international
position, which authoritative quarters
believe include an effort for closer
collat Grafton between Faris, Wash
ngton md London.
The cabinet, meeting with Presi-

it's session to the Daladier govern
nent's revitalized foreign policy, chief
y to the negotiations for a Franco
Italian friendship accord.
Informed persons expressed belief
The cabinet gave Bonnet at least pre-
liminary approval of the conversations
started by Jules Blondel, charge
d'affaires in Rome, and Italy's fore
ign minister, Count Ciano
Bonnet's policies were understood
to include plans to seek United States
economic aid for France.
Officials were discreetly silent about
their plan to draw Washington into
the expanding circle of international
cooperation talks-on the theory that
the best way to succeed was not to
talk about it.
But the recent appointment of Jules
Henry as chief of the foreign office
staff was considered an indication

CAPTURE OF LINZ
CLAIMED BY JAPS
Infantry Success Follows
Two Days of Aerial Bomb
ing and Artillery Smelling;
Reorganized Drive Against
Vital Lunghai Railroad Is
Imminent

Shanghai April 2O.-(AP)-A driv-
mo Japanese offensive today thrust
hack the central China army in two
major battles along the 5O-mile front
in southern Shantung province. The
offensive checked optimism Chinese
had shown with their victory at Taier-
cbwang. and it appeared they were
making last stand in the province,
more than three-fourths of it's $4,000
square miles nominally under Japan
csc control.
The two battles were along the Lini
front. and at Hanchwang, southwest
tin of the front Japanese said they
cantured I.ini and Chinese admitted
loss of Hanchwang.
Japanese capture of Lini put them
in position for reorganized drive
against the vital Lunghai railway,
China's cast-west trunk line.
The intensity of the Japanese of
fensive indicated Lini was subjected
TO two days of aerial bombing and
constant artillery Smelling before the
final infantry assault.
The Japanese said this incessant
rounding shattered one corner of the
walls, enabling troops to fight their
way by hand to the top and pour a
heavy fire on the Chinese defenders
below.
Chinese had reported a force of co.
900 marching for the attack on Lini,
a short time before Japanese an
nouncement of it scapture.
