Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Selected
stocks displayed recovery symptoms
in today's market, but many issues
still were inclined to rest after their
recent climb.
While individual spots of strength
and weakness were in evidence at
the close, minor gains and losses
were about evenly divided. Numer-
Gus stocks were unchanged. Deal
ings were quiet throughout, trans
fers approximating 100000 shares
for the two hours.
A few steels, aircrafts, utilities and
specialties gave the best account of
themselves. Motors, rails, oils, mail
orders and coppers held to a mar
rowly uneven groove.
Further weakness of Loew's was
somewhat of chilling influence on
speculative sentiment. This stock.
of nearly points yesterday, added
about 2 more to the recession. Wall
Street was bit puzzled over the
performance of the film issue. Some
attributed the dip partly to year-end
tax selling, which acted as brake on
other shares, as we'll as to fears for
the outcome of stockholders suits
against the management.
United States Steel and Bethle-
hem drew support Notwithstanding
another downturn In steel mill op-
erations next week was believed in
the cards. At the same time orders
from railroads and other quarters
were expected to prop this industry
in the early part of 1899.
Boeing pushed up as earnings
prospects from warplane building
frightened for this manufacturer.
Douglas, Sperry, Glenn Martin and
United Aircraft lacked rising vitality.
On the side of the aviation group
was the action of Secretary of Labor
Perkins in fixing minimum wage
Of so cents an hour for aircraft
makers under the Public Contracts
Act. A 60-cent recommendation
previously had been made.
General Motors and Chrysler were
unable to get going, although De-
cember sales for most automobile
distributors running some 30 per
cent above year ago, were said to
be better than anticipated.
Decision of Southeastern railways
to cut passenger fares as a means
of stimulating traffic left most car
rier shares cold. Santa Fe was
heavier than other rail issues de-
spite estimates this roads movement
net topped the 1887 month by around
81 600 900.
Buyers nibbled at Consolidated Edi-
son, North American, Chesapeake d.
Ohio, Anaconda, Kennecott, Sears
Roebuck, Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Goodrich, Western Union and
American Telephone.
In a ragged curb market small
gains were shown by Lockheed. Elec-
trio Bond & Share and Lake Shore.
Slightly lower were Niagara Hud-
son Power, Cities Service and Ameri-
can Superpower.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
CALENDAR :

While I was writing the story
about iceboats for our column of the
past Thursday. my thoughts went
back to my boyhood. to a time when
I made an "iceboat" of q sort for
myself.
I was about 10 years old at the
time, and my home was beside Lake
Monona. named by Indians long ago.
I enjoyed sliding down hill on my
/. sled and now and then a slide took
me out ON the ice of the lake.
One day, when there was a high
wind, I decided to make a small sail
and see whether I could use it to
speed along the smooth, glisteninr
ice which stretched over the LAKE
for . distance of q mile or 50.
Before many minutes passed I WAS
busy mailing laths together "A a
framework for the sail. I do not
remember what kind of cloth used
but I found some which would serve
the purpose.
Then down the lake with nv sled

and sail! How excited was when
I raised the sail while I sat on the
sled!
Slowly at first. but then with in
creasing speed. the wind took me
forward. 1t was a thrill of thrills
as I was carried along for hundreds
of feet. Ride after ride had with
the help of that sail, which meas
ured about 3 feet by 4 feet. Al.
though could ride in only one direc-
ton, I did not mind walking back
against the clustering vind-since
each walk meant a new ride
Yes, ice can give US joy, but as I
said the other day we must take
care that the ice is thick enough.
There Is no sport worth the risk Of
breaking through thin ice and
drowning in chill waters.
In later year on that same lake
two of my younger brothers had an
adventure which might have ended
in q tragedy. They were walking
across one end Of the lake In the
Evening star., 1938-12-17

lAte winter, when much Of the ice
covering was gone. One brother
made q test to see how far out he
could 60 without breaking through.
The test ended With . splash and q
very cold little boy shouted for help.
Wilbur. the other brother, went
to the rescue. During the last 20
feet or 20. he cravled on the ice,
20 he could spread his weight over
larger surface and keen from
breaking through. AT last he reached
the boy who was clinsing to the
edge Of the ice and pulled him to
safety.
People who break through ice do
not always have some one to come
to the rescue. Let VI watch cur
step. % We can have many years IA
which to enjoy living.

SAVANT PICTURES
ASSOCIATE BRAIN
Functions of Anterior Lobe
of Pituitary Gland Is
Described in Talk.

The anterior lobe Of the pituitary
gland, tiny island Of chemical-se-
creting tissue at the base of the brain.
was pictured as an associate brain"
by DR.. Oscar Riddle, biologist of
the Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton, lecturing at the institution head
quarters here last night.
1t secretes, he said, three extremely
powerful substances in minute
amounts-each having its own job to
do and each, either singly or acting
with the others, with the function of
promoting normal growth.
One of these substances, discov-
cred by DR.. Riddle himself few
years ago, is prolactin, which . is
largely responsible for milk secretion.
Another is the so-called 'follicle-stim-
ulating hormone," which supplies the
driving power for the growth and
functioning of the reproductive sys-
tenn in animals. Still third hor-
none stimulates the thyroid gland to
secrete thyroxin, almost essential for
life itself, into the blood stream.
Act in Partnership.
Later experiments have shown, DR..
Riddle said, that these three often
act in partnership, not only to do
their own specific jobs but other CO.
operative jobs, such as the promotion
and prolongation of body growth.
In this case. he said, they may act
with still mysterious growth factor,
which varies both with the species
and the individual.
In pigeons and doves. DR.. Riddle
said, he has found that prolactin
alone will increase appetite and pro-
mote growth But when the thyroid
promoting hormone is added the re-
suit is an actual loss in body weight.
On the other hand, both together will
promote body growth in dwarf mice,
while neither will do it alone. On
the other hand. the follicle-stimulat-
ing hormone alone causes marked
growth in certain organs and, when
added to another hormone, increases
the size of other organs.
Growth Response Modified.
"These facts" he said, lead us to
the conclusion that most or all the
products of the anterior pituitary
promote body growth in one or an
other species-and this largely through
their ability to keep the appetite
and the vital organs, such as the
thyriods, the adrenals, the pancreas,
the liver and the intestines, in favor
able functional states.
I'VE are also impressed with evil
dence that a particular hormone or
combination of hormones that is most
favorable to body growth in one spe-
cies is not the combination most favor
able in another species or perhaps
in another individual. 1t seems that
the growth response to particular
hormone is modified or limited by a
constitutional factor"
