Run to 2 Points
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March 16 Q.N.S). /.
The stock markets recovery was
upset today by a break In London
stocks, reflecting fresh anxiety
over the European outlook.
Other foreign bourses were
under heavy pressure as wild ru-
mors Of mobilization ran through
out the Continent. .
Central European bonds con-
tinued on the skids, and the dollar
gained additional ground against
alien currencies. Frightened capt.
tai from abroad still poured into
the United States at a fast pace.
BLUE CHIPS HIT.
Losses in the local market ran
to two points. Steels, motors,
coppers, rails, chemicals and vari-
Gus blue-chip issues suffered the
largest losses.
U. s. Steel and Bethlehem each
dropped more than Q points in
the Steels, as did Chrysler in the
motors, du Don't in the chemicals,
International Nickel in the metals,
and Sears, Roebuck in the mail
orders. Westinghouse Electric
slumped 3 points, while Case
slipped almost as much.
U. S. RUBBER DIPS
U. S. Rubber preferred gave up
almost 3 points of yesterdays
8a4-point climb, and the common
dipped more than a point.
Douglas, Boeing and United
Aircraft each were farctionally
improved in the aviations, despite
general weakness elsewhere in the
list.

came without material aid from

was due mainly to new demand
from miscellaneous sources, partly

co MANY things are being blamed O upon the weather nowadays that 1t Is a relief to consider erookiyn's Dodgers. Since those athletes prob- ably would continue to drop deei- sions even if they were performing within the shadow of the south pole, today's collection of logic Is dedi- cated to those persistent custo omers who annually must be beset by chills while the eat Is being turned on elsewhere.
 Plainly what Is wrong with the Dodgers as well as with such better favored clubs as the Red Sox and the Indians Is that even worse team work Is displayed by the bosses than by the hired help.

SUMMER MEALS

D URING the warm weather Is U the time to let down on all un- necessary work so that mother may have a little vacation as well. In formal serving-letting the young sters do the work-it will be a change from school work, and 1t Is a good thing to train them to do all kinds of household tasks. The girls, of course, are expected to have this training before they go into their own homes, or how will they know how to deal with house. hold matters and spend the money given to them for the upkeep of the home? Boys, too, should begin early to learn how to cook simple foods, be able to make good cup of coffee, prepare crisp piece of toast, and serve a well-cooked egg These accomplishments are not only helpful but often necessary in cases of illness or absence of the house wife.
 It Is not always easy or agreeable for good housekeeper to turn over the work to her children, but 1t is most gratifying In results. Now Is the time to serve the meals on the porch or in the garden; the young folks will enjoy taking the extra steps and the novelty will serve to delight the whole family.
 Serve the breakfast buffet style as the English do. Everybody has a few covered dishes to keep things hot, and with hot coffee and toast. one may make fine breakfast.
