Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, June 7-Backsliding
tendencies crept into the stock market
today after a slow forenoon rally and
more were reduced Or transformed
into losses of as much at the close.
While selling was viewed as unim-
portant-transfers approximated AGO.
900 shares-the urge to cash in even
small profits was sufficient to curtail
what little buying was in evidence.
Results of the Iowa primaries APP
parently were to the liking of Wall
Street, but offsetting elements, mar
ketwise, were plentiful and speculative
contingents failed to get excited over
political developments.
Late advices from Washington tell
ing of probable compromise in Com
gress over the disputed wage
hour bill revived hopes for a quick
adjournment of the lawmakers, but
this also seemed to be a negligible in
spiration marketwise.
Lack of definite indications that fall
ing business is getting ready to right
itself, brokers said, was the main i'm
pediment to recovery sentiment for
stocks.
Coppers led the initial forward tilt,
although even these subsequently
slipped from the best. Selected steels,
motors, mail orders, farm implements
and specialties did well for time, only
to lose vigor in the latter part of the
proceedings.
Oils were fairly resistant, notwitll-
standing the remarks of President
Parish of Standard of New Jersey, at
the annual stockholders meeting. He
said earnings of this corporation for
the first 4 months of the current year
were between II and % per cent under
the same 1887 period.

and secure with toothpicks. When
broiling sticks are inserted they be-
come "skyrocketers."
As for potato salad, did you ever
hear of q picnic spread barren OF
potato salad? Perhaps you have, but
perish the thought! However, think
the matter carefully through, and
when you have finally decided upon
potato salad depart trifle from the
beaten path and add some bacon and
a little chopped pickle. You have no
idea what the difference can be.
Boil, peel and chill eight sizable
potatoes. Cube and season them.
Fry one-half pound thinly sliced ba-
con until very crisp and free OF fat.
Drain we'll and chop. Slice six hard
boiled eggs Chop up six medium
sour spiced pickles. one large onion.
Mince several wisps of parsley. Toss
all together and blend carefully with
salad dressing.
p REFRESHMENTS are very necessary
on a picnic, so include either iced
coffee or tea, milk for the children and
ginger ale is usually favorite with
both the grown-ups and the young
sters. Be sure to take along thermos
Of cold water, for it is a very poor
practice to drink water from spring
or a we'll that you know nothing about.
It is also an excellent idea to tuck
away in some corner of the car small
first-aid kit, so as to be prepared Tor
an emergency You can usually count
on some one getting some minor injury
at a picnic, especially the children,
and in this way future serious trouble
will be avoided.
When the party is over and you are
ready to go home remember that some
one else may think that same spot
attractive for picnicking If the trash
from the last one hadn't been left. So
remember what an eyesore trash Is
and pick it all up, throwing it into the
fire, or if you haven't fire put it all
into a paper bag or the basket and
take it home for your own freshman
to cart away.
Another precaution every one must
take is to be sure and put out the fire
that they have enjoyed. Pour water
or any of the leftover iced drinks
on the fire to put it out. See that any
bits of dry wood nearby are re-
moved and any loose dirt may be put
on to help smother it. Forest fires
leaving death and destruction in their
wake have been started by cigarette
or lighted match that has been care
lessly tossed away and campfires that
have just been left to burn out in
time.

Curves Are
Definitely
In Vogue
Exercises and Diet
Required to Keep
Girlish Figure.
Nv ELSIE PIERCE.

IF could flash some warning shadows
via a shadowgraph, as very fine
Fifth avenue salon does, am sure you
would vow right here and now to
keep that form divine.
The salon refer to uses the shadow
pictures for several purposes-chiefly
as q before and after study Of your
posture and your measurements in
conjunction with their figure-contour-
ing course. However, your own mirror
can tell you the same story. The point
Is: Will you take 1t to heart quite as
much? Study yourself in the mirror,
full view and profile. Picture your
figure in silhouette and you have q
shadow picture In your minds eye.
But Notwithstanding shadows.
Curves are definitely in vogue; the
straight-as-sticks. boyish form Is long
passe. But feminine curves are not
the overdeveloped variety. The youth
full figure. with just a suggestion OF
curve, is the one worth working for,
worth keeping. worth controlling.
Perhaps you are quite an athlete,
do q lot Of exercising outdoors, play
good game Of golf, do yourself 50
proud on the tennis court that your
husband-to-be finds you . real chal-
lenge. And perhaps after you are
married there will be less time for exer-
else or less opportunity. In that case,
do as much as you can and make up
the difference by setting-up exercises
1t home.
Perhaps you have been very careful
about your diet, eating Just what is
good and good for you and taking
enough calories for maintenance diet,
but not enough to give you surplus fat.
Fine. But perhaps after you are mar
ried you will have to add some Of the
other foods. Compromise somewhere
eat q little less in that case Do what
you have to, but keep that form divine.
There are Just two excuses from
controlling your own curves, illness
and the doctors orders that you need
more fattening food and less exercise,
or motherhood, when protective diet
is important. Otherwise, there Is wise
diet counsel to be had for the asking;
there Is exercise and all you need is
the will to keep that lovely girlish

1t is a good plan to put a few
extra melon seeds in each hill
just as the first plants are coming
up. They may be considered as
reinforcements, and will give
bearing vines, even though the
earlier plants succumb to attacks
of the cut worm and striped
beetle. A hill as applied to melon
culture does not necessarily mean
mound. 1t is better to practice
level culture than it is to make
an elevation. which will throw the
water away from the plants like
the roof OF house.
Shoppers may be held securely
in bottles when travelling If a
piece of adhesive tape is placed
over them and around the neck
of the bottle.
A pinch Of baking powder add
ed to pie crust makes it light and
fluffy.
To remove grass stains from
washable materials, rub the stain
with lard and let stand for several

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
- Please tell me how to take care
Of pongee drapery which has been
washed and partly ironed. I say
partly. because 1t became very stiff
and unsightly.
MRS. E. A.. NORBECK, MD.
Answer-Pongee should be washed
in mild soap and thoroughly dried. 1t
should be pressed with not too hot
an iron, but never dampened. If
possible take the pieces directly from
the line to the ironing board, so that
they will not have chance to acquire
deep wrinkles. II you had some method
of stretching your draperies so that it
was not necessary to iron them the
material would look its best. In its
natural state it Is supposed to look
rough dry" If you iron them wet
or dampened you will get the stiff,
spotty look which you dislike.

NEAR MISS NOVEL;: I have the

room enough, for have tried it. but
I would like to give an effect of more
space. Please give me any suggestions
for a color scheme that will make it

MRS. HELEN CO., PORTER ST.
Answer-The appearance of space
may be easily acquired by the use of
mirror. Use it for the ceiling and
the side walls if possible If not, the
side walls will suffice. Make it gay
with color, with a good overhead light
for makeup or two side lights near
the top of the mirror, so that you will
not get shadows on your face. To
save space have the table built in and
use . stool instead of a chair.

Be careful not to mar this first
picnic by forgetting several important
items. To avoid this take a few
minutes off and decide on the number
of people, and whether it is to be a
campfire outing or just the usual kind,
where everything is done at home and
then spread out under some lovely
tree or by a brook when you find 1t.
The necessary items should be listed
and purchased in advance, such as
wax paper, paper napkins, plates, cups,
forks, spoons, and knives if they are
to be needed. Don't forget the bottle
opener and corkscrew, for they are
handy items on any picnic party. See
that you have enough thermos bottles
and vacuum jugs for the hot or iced
drinks and food. If you are taking
youngsters on the party fill one of
the thermos jugs with their regular
hot dinner, so that their digestions
won't suffer from eating the grown
ups food.
Crisp pickles, olives, salt, pepper,
mustard and sugar are very important
accessories to any picnic, and if steaks
or corn are to be cooked be sure to
take butter packed in jelly glasses

WHEN planning sandwiches, have
a variety, so that every one will
be pleased. For meat filling use any
of the following: Ham, tongue, bo-
logna, liverwurst or any leftover cold
meats that you might have Sand
wiches with a filling containing lots of
mayonnaise or cream dressing should
be avoided, as they make the bread
soggy in very short time.
Cheese sandwiches are always en-
joyed. especially the rye bread and
sweitzer fixed with plenty of butter
and mustard, served with ice-cold
drinks, will certainly please all the
men on the party. Always include
few sweet sandwiches made with
jelly or have some simple cakes. To
this add either hard-boiled or stuffed
eggs and fruit, for the meal wouldn't
be complete without these two.
Deliciously fried chicken always
adds to any outdoor meal, as do
frankfurters if there is bonfire. The
following recipe will give you "hot
dogs de luxe" that are known as sky
rocketers Using sharp knife, slit
each frankfurter lengthwise and just
deep enough to accommodate smudge
OF mustard spread and some thinly
sliced dill pickle. Wrap them with
bacon to give each a striped effect
