BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writ .,

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Fresh I'M
easiness over European war dangers
took the starch out Of the stock market
today.
Whi!e intermittent attempts were
made to rally the list. important sun
port failed to appear and, near the
fourth hour. losses among leaders
ranged from ! to around 4 points.
There were isolated fiops of 8 or 10.
Volume was heaviest on the opening
sell-ofi, contracting appreciably in the
feeble comeback periods.
Steels. motors and specialties were
in supply throughout. Offerings also
were plentiful in rubbers. mail orders.
coppers, utilities, rails and oils. Air.
crafts were less oppressed than other
groups.
Stressing the seriousness Of the
foreign outlook from a market stand
point was the peace plea made by
President Roosevelt to the major pow
ers.
Other Signs Ominous.
That an explosion might be i'm
n1lnent also was emphasized by word
the Czechs had refused to accept the
German demands. that Hitler later in
the day would broadcast a speech to
the nation in which another ulti.
matum might be issued to Czecho-
slovakia and that frantic military
preparations by the principal European
countries continued. In addition, the
French authorities asked all persons
who could do so to evacuate Paris by
rail.

Some hope was seen in the last
minute efforts of the British to halt
an outbreak of hostilities through
new personal message from Prime
Minister Chamberlain to Hitler. A.
the same time the British Parliament
was summoned for Wednesday.
Commission houses with foreign
connections found business from
abroad light either way.
Although overshadowed bv war
threats, the domestic economic picture
provided a little encouragement. It
was not overlooked though, tina. war
could easily put a severe crimp in the
autumn upswing.
Helpful was the announcement of the
Federal Reserve Board that rising in
dustriai activity was we'll maintained
throughout the first three weeks Of
September at around the figure of
last fall. The average. however. was
considerably below the top established
in 1887.

NEW DECORATION
 COURSE FORMED

A new course in practical deco- ration is now being formed to begin Monday afternoon with classes from 2:30 p. m. at Crosby High School, Room III. Walden Trimble is the instructor.
 It is not too late to enter classes in Conversational French under the guidance of Francis Pelletier. This course is the Claudel or short cut method to French taught as 1t is in Paris.
 It teaches only that French one wants to know. The vocabularies contain careful selection of words in daily use, grouped according to the way of living and thinking of the French people.
 In a years time a student should have acquired 8 vocabulary of over three thousand words in daily use. All those wishing to join may do so by calling 5-1173 or coming di- rectly to class. Glasses are ne1d Tues day and Friday evenings. Crosby High School, 7-9, Room 113.
 "The Art of Dress" classes begin Friday at Crosby High from ' to g p. m. This class will be repeated by popular demand. Walden Trimble is the instructor.

Connie obeyed with the rest Don't do anything, please!" she managed to whisper with plead- ing desperation to her newly-found friend. She had a feeling that Bret Hardesty was not going to empty his pockets without protest even though he faced a dozen re- volverS.
 She was right about that. She had no sooner parted with her roll of bills than she heard a thud be- hind her. Bret had knocked the revolver out of the fellows hand reaching across the drivers shoul- der to switch of the lights at the same time. Now they rolled and fought in the aisle.
 There were screams from the frightened women, three shots rang out. Then the slim figure of the boy could be seen taking 10 his heels.
 Bret, Bret are you hurt?" Without realizing she called him by name. Scarcely knowing what she was doing, Connie tried to feel ahead into that inky blackness from which still came the sound of those two bodies pummeling and strug- gling.
 Then there was silence.
 I'm all okay" Bret's slow drawl came as though nothing had happened, except some loss of breath. "T-turn on switch I've got this one"
 Connie managed to find the switch, wondering how she did, her fingers were trembling so. The passengers, relieved and smiling, began to file back in, bursting into voluble chatter as people will after a tense unusual strain.
 The driver came forward with a piece of stout rope with which to bind the bandits hands. She was a sorry looking bandit now, all the bravado knocked completely out of him
 Better empty his pockets and give back what he took before we turn him over to the police at the next town" Bret said.
 I'm not sure about regulations as to that" the driver objected. He started to investigate the mans pockets. Then uttered a shout. Hump! The moneys gone. Noth- ing to hand back!'
 swiped it." the fellow muttered sullenly, when Bret gave him a sharp shake, demanding to know what had become of it.
 "A swell partner!" Bret com- mented. He suggested they had better get started. Maybe they can pick up the other fellow, too; he acted like an inexperienced kid"
 You're not hurt, are you?" Connie asked anxiously, after the excitement } had died down and they were or their way again.
 His thick dark hair was rum pied, his shirt torn open at the neck; there was a faint purple shadow spreading around one eye, but aside from that Bret Hardesty still looked intact.
 Not a scratch" he said, smil- ingly. Then with his serious looK again. But it's you I'm worrying about. Now you will have to let me help you!"
 He thought she had lost every thing she had. But there was the ring and the brooch and the pearls

Stamp N@w&

A ENCOURAGEMENT from Stock
 holm reveals that Sweden will issue at the end of March, 1888, a set of five values, commemorat- ing the 300th anniversary of the first emigration from that country to America. The stamps will be g., Is, 20, 30 and 60 ore.
 Similarly, in 1888, United States is certain to issue commemora- tive marking this anniversary of the founding of the Swedish set- clement on Delaware Bay.

 New book important to collec- tors is the United States Stamp less Cover Catalog" of 1888, pub. lished by Stephen G. Rich, Verona, N. J., at $2. Produced by the plano graphic process, the book presents a cross-section of postmarks from all states of the Union. More than 200 collectors aided in producing the text.
 It now seems certain that the proposed Presidential series of US. stamps will be started early in 1888. It will be recalled that the Treasury Department last fall staged a contest among artists for a l-cent green with a Washington head. It is indicated that the set would honor the Presidents in the chronological order in which they entered the White House.
 Design of 21 miniature sheets by France, one for each major colony, has been announced. These sheets will be issued either late this year or early in 1888. A low face value is expected to prevail.

 Shortly after the first of the new year, new King George stamps will go on sale for the Bahamas, Ber- muda, Cayman Islands, Cypress, Dominica, Falkland Islands, Gold Coast, Hongkong. Nigeria and St. Lucia. Most of these are complete ly new series.

 That purple shadow was most becoming she decided. It lent him rakish look that rendered him decidedly handsome. She had never met such a man.
 It seemed quite ridiculous - and unnecessary now that she had met him to think of losing him again.
