of the six days there were large
majorities of plus signs. More
over. most of the very active
stocks were distinctly higher. OF
the dozen issues which showed
the largest volume last week, ten
gained and one held steady.
These included four airplane
stocks, two motors and two utili-
ties. 1t is a notable fact that
utility stocks have thus come to
life, and this fact continues to
deserve comment as indicating a
change in the moral climate" OF
Washington.
In many respects, the pattern
of the stock market in recent
weeks has resembled that follow
ing last July. A rise of similar
proportions has been succeeded by
an irregular sideways movement,
characterized by difficulty in pen
etrating an upper resistance level.
The day-to-day performances in
the two periods are remarkably
alike. In the earlier period, the
outcome was a further rise, and
there seems to be little reason
to doubt that this will be the an
Swer in the present case.
X X
In .uct, the main difference in
market action has been a some
what buoyant performance in the
averages this time, which sug-
gests the possibility of an even
better showing to be made.
This may be attributed to three
general developments:
/. Greater certainty that
cyclical business recovery has
begun.
2. Great confidence that bust
ness will be allowed to receive
earned profits, and
8. Growing reason to believe
that a great credit infaltion is
not distant.
In this connection, probably
more people are beginning to real
ize that initiation and the easy

fective, are bound to mean

never yet been allowed to become
effective in prices), and with
money rates artificially held down
to infinitesimal percentages, how
can anyone figure what the prices
Of stocks should be? Why should
the old bases for price-earnings
ratios hold?
It begins to look as if at last we
are about to break through the old
inhibitions based on sound money
and investment principles. For
the present, this may find express
sion in an adjustment of stock
prices.
1t seems to me that there are
enough political uncertainties, and
enough difficulties in turning the
physical volume of business into
net profits, to prevent any run
away market here. In fact, am
inclined to believe that by mid
December, at the latest, we will see
a set back which will carry the
averages down to the October 4
level.
This thought is confirmed by
the way in which brokers' loans
have begun to climb, as the pub

has veered into the low-prices spec
ulative favorites. In due course,
technical weakness will have to be
corrected, and the weak traders
be shaken out.

RFC NOTE ISSUE.
OF 800 MILLIONS.
READY BY NOV. I.
Quick Sale Expected in
New RefinanCing

G.N.S.) The Treasury today
prepared to sell nearly 300,000,-
600 worth of three-year Recon
struction Finance Corporation
notes, which will bear one of the
lowest interest rates in history
for that type of security-seven-
eighthS of per cent.
Announcement of the offering
was not a surprise. Secretary Of
the Treasury Morgenthau re-
vealed two weeks ago the notes
would be rendered about Novem-
ber / to refinance 112 per cent
RFC notes maturing December is.
The early sale was decided upon
to keep the decks cleared for pos
sible new Treasury financing on
the mid-December date.
RESERVES SEEK OUTLOOK
The notes will be available only
to holders of maturing RFC notes,
and Treasury officials anticipated
no sale difficulty, inasmuch as
compar Bile securities, which
might draw holders funds for in
vestment, are selling above par.
Treasury officials disclosed that
one reason for the offering was
the fact that although private
securities offerings are showing
increase, banks still are clogged
with excess reserves looking for
outlet.
TAXATION FACTOR
Another reason to believe the
issue will be gobbled up is the
current move to make Federal
securities subject to taxation. fis-
cal observers pointed out.
This, they said, may be one OF
the last tax-exempt offerings y
the government, as legislation to
lop off present exemptions prob
ably will be considered by the next
Congress.

Mother is torn between them. She

after his own wishes first, but she
knows. too. that Sister never wants a
thing so much as when she sees Jackie
using it. 1t may have lain discarded
for months until the desire seized

The Correct
Etiquette
At Clubs
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: am invited to
tea given at the clubhouse of
large civic club for its new members,
OF which I am one I am unable to
go and would like to know If am to
send a visiting card as I would in
formal situations were the party be-
Ing given by private hostess. Also,
will you tell me whether all invita-
tions to club affairs are answered as
private invitations are, and if so, to
whom they should be addressed.
Answer-In recognition of this first
invitation, suggest writing an in
formal personal note to the secretary
OF the club telling her you are sorry
that you are not going to be able to
go to the tea. Hereafter you need not
answer such invitations unless asked
to. The ordinary notices of meetings
to be held or luncheons and enter
tainments wiven will require answers
only when seat or a table is to be
reserved for you. Your failure to an
swer would be taken as an indication
that you do not expect to be present.
DEAR MRS. POST: At a dinner
given by an organizat ton in honor

away and who during their lifelong
membership in the organization con-
tributed much Of value, where would
you suggest seating the two guests of
honor? One member insists that cor
rectly husbands and wives can never
be seated together, but this occasion
Is likely to be emotional and I feel
sure they will find great comfort in
being seated together. Therefore. I
wonder If an exception can be made
to the usual rule of separation in this
situation. Will you write us.
Answer-I think the occasion could
be treated as though it were the
golden wedding Of the couple. In other
words. they are joint guests of honor
In just the same way they would be
at wedding anniversary, and under
such a circumstance might be al

But far otherwise would it be if
she could exchange places with him

the modern man works; the anxieties

that turn him sick when he thinks
that he alone stands between the wife

and want. Any woman who had tried

Long Tresses
Must Shine
individuality Often
Lost When Hair
Is Cut Short.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

A READER writes: About 10 years
ago bobbed my hair. 1t took
one deep breath and a dash Of courage
to do 1t. 1t took eight months for
it to grow back I have never bobbed
1t since. 1t seemed to me that had
stepped completely out of character.
I felt that what little distinction
had (others had told me this, and so
I repeat without egotism) was cut
away with the long tresses. I was
in my early 20s then so the thought
Of looking younger did not occur to me
1T wasn't important. Now I'm won-
dering whether to bob again-will it
make me look little younger, will I
be able to achieve more style with my
hair shorter I'm half hesitant, half
fearful and this time the breath is
hard and long. So much is said about
coiffures these days-nothing about
the long haired lass. Can .you help
me?"
So by way Of helping the reader 1
make mention of lovely Joan Fon-
taine whose hair is long, even if
not too long. She is one of our shining
lights who still has long hair. There
are few like her in Hollywood. And
their shining halos are proof enough
that one does not necessarily have to
cut of the hair to gain distinction.
In fact. there is the type with
madonna-like beauty, with chiseled
features who looks better with hair
longer.
You may not be able to dress the
hair in such variety of styles, If it
is long. but surely there are two or
three lovely ways in which to do"
the hair Joan Fontaine brushes her
hair softly of the face into a low
knot at the nape of her neck. A
thick braid forms crown over the
top of her brilliant head. With the
new upswept vogue, long hair lends
itself beautifully to an upward ar
rangement. A few invisible little
combs can come to the rescue. Try

thing, long hair must shine. It's

up for the simple style by keeping

Something Novel in the Way of Bridal Shower Difficult
The Old Gardener Soys:

Moonfiowers are just as hand
some in the evening as morning
glories are at the beginning OF
the day. They are like great
wide saucers and start to unfold
their buds about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, the process being so
rapid that it may be watched.
Probably the reason that moon
flowers are not grown more often
in gardens is that the seeds are
very slow to germinate. 1t is not
satisfactory to plant them in the
open ground, but il they are
started In boxes Of earth or in
