Brain TwizzIers
By PROF. ]. d. FLINT.

A N ADVENTUROUS man, who was
very much of lone wolf, once
turned native. In fact he turned saw
age. After journeying to a remote
South American jungle he built a
little hut in great tree. This tree
was peculiar because it grew up from
the depths of a well-like hole in the
ground which was very deep and about
go feet wide. One day the man was
out searching for food when some
savages saw him. He managed to
elude them for few minutes but he
knew he'd have to get back to the
security Of his hut before they caught
him. When he got to the edge of the
place he found that somehow his rope
bridge had been destroyed and he
leaned against tree in despair. Then
it dawned upon him that he had a
rope with him which was longer than
the hole was wide, but he didn't know
how he could anchor it to the tree his
hut was in. Finally he found a way
and then he went across, hanging
from the rope. How did he do it?

The volunteers declared that the

The Republicans. they said, have hid

be returned to the people when the

The Americans were enthusiastic

MARKET AGAIN
SUFFERS LOSSES
|OF | TO 3 POINTS
Poor Earning Reports
Seen Influence
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 40 O.N.S)
The stock market today extended
yesterdays losses of to 3 points
on a fairly wide front, with some
of the higher.priced issues equal
ing top declines OF the preceding
session.
Trading continued at dull
pace, although several large
blocks of stock changed hands at
the opening, when the major por.
ton Of the days losses were
suffered. These included one for
$500 shares of United States Steel
and 1000 each for Chrysler and
Anaconda Copper, all losing about
point.
POOR REPORTS
Chief depressing influence was
the continued flow of poor first
quarter earnings reports, together
with the generally pessimistic pre-
dictions of corporate executives.
Steels, coppers, motors, chemi-
Gals and blue-chips were hardest
hit. Bethlehem, U. s. Steel and
Crucible slipped more than a
point. Chrysler lost as much,
while General Motors dropped
close to a point. In coppers, Ana
conda, International Nickel and
American Smelling were down a
point or more.
BONDS DOWN
Among the larger losses were 3
points for U. S. Gypsum, 4 for
Eastman Kodak, more than 2 for
Westinghouse Electric and about
as much for Norfolk and Western.
Commodities were generally
quiet. Bonds turned downward.
