Vitamin B Is Important
Element in Adults Diet

conditions belong 60 what might
be called the degenerative changes
of middle age.
When one asks why there should
be Vitamin B deficiency in mid
die age, the answers are several.
In the first place, the chief source
of Vitamin B in the food is in
yeast, whole wheat bread, cereals,
liver and kidney-the concentra-
ton Of the vitamin being in the or
der named. Now it is matter Of
ordinary observation that in middle
age people tend to give up eating
cereal and bread and many dislike
liver and kidneys so much they
never eat them. So it is quite pos
sible there is a normal dietary de-
ficiency of the vitamins. Then
stomach disorders will cut down
the appetite, and in middle age the
liver function falls off and as a
consequence, the vitamin is not alb
sorbed or utilized in the body.
A specific example Of this lack
Of utilization Of the vitamins is
seen in drunkards, who may de-
velop alcoholic neuritis, simply be-
cause they eat little and have an
impaired digestion. If Vitamin B
concentrate is given them, even
though they continue their alcohol
ic habits, the neuritis clears up.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, June 13.-Stock mar
ket leaders turned in a losing per-
formance today, with industrials yield
ing fractions to around Q points and
a few volatile issues more.
AS in the past several weeks, volume
was conspicuous by its absence. Trans
fers were in the neighborhood of 35C,-
600 shares, another one of the lowest
full-day turnovers in about four years.
Boardroom analysts derived their
principal consolation from the fact
important blocks of stocks refused to
come out on the downside. 1t was
recalled that what little activity has
appeared in the last month or so has
been in rallying periods.
About the only good" news, from
the markets standpoint, was the like
hhood Congress would pack UP and
go home within the next two or three
days A quick passage of the thor
oughly amended wage-hour bill, now
generally conceded, left speculative
forces cold.
Steels, motors, farm implements.
alrcraltS. coppers and Specialtles lacked
support throughout. although utilities
and rails put up mild resistance.
The uptrend in commodities was
reversed, with grains weakening. Car
rier bonds gave ground in the loans
division.
One or two cheerful items were dis
cerned in the business picture, but
these were mostly ignored.
Scant attention was paid to the
ofhclal estimate placing this weeks
steel production at 27.1 per cent of
capacity, up g of a point from the
preceding week. Unsatisfactory op-
erations in this department were
shown by comparison of the output
rate with the same week last year.
when the figure stood at 1855 per cent.
Motors were no worse than others,
although new passenger car registra-
tions in May were fixed at more than
9 per cent under April and were less
than half Of the aggregate in May a
year ago. General Motors preferred
was an exception with a fair advance.
Aircrafts were rather sickly despite

EXAMINER BARS
NEW HAVENP[ANS
Wilkinson Declares Present
Bad Situation Prevents
Income Estimates.
By the Associated Press.


An examiner for the Interstate
Commerce Commission refused today
to approve any Of five proposed plans
for reorganization of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.
The examiner. Harvey H. Wilkin-
son, said:
The present chaotic condition of
the principal debtors revenues are
such that it is impossible at this time
to estimate reasonably the future level
Of its earnings, and without which
it is impracticable to formulate a
plan of reorganization which would
be fair to all parties concerned"
The railroad filed petition in Fed
eral Court on October %, 1885, stat
ing it was unable to meet its debts as
they matured and asking reorganiza-
ton under section 77B of the Bank
ruptcy Act The court approved the
petition, allowed the road to operate
its properties pending reorganization.
Under commission rules, interested
parties will have 20 days in which to
file objections to Wilkinson's report,
after which date will be set for ar
gument.
The New Haven line was organized
in 1872 and owned 3,244 miles of tracks
in Connecticut, Rhode Island. South
ern Massachusetts, and Southeastern
New York.
Tables included in the examiners
report showed that passengers declined
from a peak total of 107,505 900 in
1920 to low of 20 ,029, 900 in 1888. In
1896 the total was 34,551 900. Pas
senger revenues in 1886 were s24,996,-
101 as compared with $52,590,6 in
1920.
Freight revenues dropped from s75.-
002, 1896 in 1927 to $44, $3.50, ,649 in 1896.

A mild form of pandemonium
broke loose in the big top. Frank
Bonney, the local police force, came
bristling forward, looking important
and demanding to know who Jimmie
was.
Hes our son. you idiot! Jimmie
Stevens. age 8, blue-eyed, curley
haired. Find him and I'll pay you

Wait a minute" Officer Bonney
said suspiciously. How about this:
Your boy, you say? Yours and hers?'
Ambrose and Mary stared at each
other. Both had forgotten. They
were faced by crisis. If they admitted
it-or if they didn't-And in the
meantime. Jimmie was lost.
There was no alternative. Ambrose
dismissed the police force with a curt
gesture and summoned the actors and
actresses and employees of the carnival
"Scour the town." he directed them
"A 81, 600 goes to the man who brings
Jimmie back. I'll settle with these
people"
But settling with the people who
had paid good money to witness a
wedding wasn't as easy as Ambrose
expected. If he had fooled them
about the ceremony. perhaps he was
fooling them about the disappearance
OF the alleged Jimmie. Perhaps it was
another publicity stunt.

but didn't get very far. What

Every one of the carnival employees was
out trying to make that $1,000 Am
brose didn't have chance of getting
away, not until he had returned the
ticket money.
So he went into the booth-and
found Jimmie there fast asleep be-
hind some trunks. This was relief
of course, but it was long time be-
fore the carnival people came back
to the circus grounds and the troupe
could get packed up and on their way

brow. Lets figure we're definitely

top. His instinct for showmanshlp
cropped out even then. He decided
to make a spectacle of it and invite
the public.
The public came. In those days a
wedding was an event folks liked To
witness, and here was one that was
a bit removed from the ordinary and
at which they could have ringside
seats. The affair was big success
After the ceremony ticket sellers
moved among the spectators and sold
tickets for the regular performance
And that was big success, too.
That's what gave him the idea.
Why not have wedding at every
town where they stopped? Carnival
Owner Takes Bride, Come One, Come
ALL See, Hear and Enjoy Yourselves. y
That's the way the posters read 1t
was a master stroke. People f1ocked
It was something new, something diff
ferent.
That summer Ambrose must have
married his wife 35 times. Toward
the end of the season Mary had worn
out the one wedding gown and pur-
chased another And during the lay
off the next winter she made herself a
couple of extras. When the show
started out the next spring Ambrose
added one minister. two bridesmaids
and four flower girls to his cast. The
cost was nothing to the number of
extra tickets his sellers disposed of
after each ceremony.
All the world loves lover, was the
premise Ambrose went on. That sum-
mer the show made money. They
took care never to perform the mar
riage in towns where they had
stopped before. but Ambrose mapped
out new routes for them to travel and
the total of marriage ceremonies the
second season reached AZ.
There is no telling how long the
good would have continued to be the
Stevens Carnival's greatest attraction
Two more years passed. Ambrose
managed to keep his figure, to look
young and handsome and romantic
and Mary still portrayed a demure
little country girl, and did it well.
IT WAS in Sadler, H., that the pay
off occurred. The carnival was
working South toward its winter quar-
ters. The night in question was cold
and rainy. Even so, the big top was
fairly well crowded when the band
struck up the wedding march and Am
brose and Mary, train in tow, started
toward the improvised altar. A hush
fell over the audience, as it always did.
Women sniffied and men wished they
were young again. The minister,
