The Don Cossacks came to Con

to face what was probably the larg-

Not that Washington loves them
more than New York or Chicago:
but that it has a larger concert

than the latter city.

The Theory of his figuring. of

this stunt is impossible, let's just
see what would happen If such a
thing could be done.

being cool and comfortable all

center of the earth is so great you
would be completely cooked.
But, just for arguments sake,
let's forget this first obstacle ano

started falling vertically at this

of the earth, you would be FALL

Instead of a quick trip to China
you would find yourself at tn

A FEW DROP OFF
Fractional losses occurred In
General Motors, Continental Mo

trio.
Obviously, the outstanding char
acteristic of the trading is that
it was so mixed. This is partly
due to the mixed and uncertain
business news. 1t seems fairly
safe, however, to say that this
condition is partly the result Of
shifting from one stock to an
other in connection with tax sell
ing.
On the whole, the market has a
little better than held its own

and this leads me to believe thai
