Carrier Issues Score
Fractional Gains
On Bond Market
Rails Assume Leud
As Brokers Point
To Freight Gains
- the Associated Pr-ss.

~ the Associated PISS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 80. - Rails
fought the utilities and industrials
for dominance of the bond market
today and came out on top.
The market skidded out of the old
year at the fastest rate for short
session in months. Turnover OF
$4,669, 500, face value, was the best
since September 30 and compared
with $3,6O7, 1900 a week ago.
Brokers claimed the carriers had a
better background than other
groups. They pointed to freight
carloadings, which have been on
the upgrade for months, and the
recent vast improvement IN rev.
enueS.
At that, most rail liens got up only
fractions. Favorites included such
issues as Erie SIS of rs at 17s4, Bal
timore g. Ohio convertible AIS at
10, Nickel Plate 41as at 57l2, North
ern Pacific IS at 68 and Missouri
Kansas-Texas SIS of So at 1872.
Gains and losses among foreign
dollar loans were pretty we'll bal
anced. Considerable caution was
displayed in this division, most
traders preferred to wait until Eu-
rope gets through the long week
end.
United States Governments stayed
In the market shadows The Treas
ury 21as of 48. however, stepped out
with 21-32 point gain on sale OF

10 years ago. But in paying the
rent, an item which has increased
materially in the last year, 81 cents
would be needed to take the place
of the dollar of 1929. and 90 cents
would be required to buy 1925 dol
lars worth of miscellaneous sup
plies and services.
So much for the past. AS every
homemaker knows, prices were ex-
tremely low in 1882, much higher
in 1887; now they are between the
two although nearer the latter. AS
for the future, there are many
factors which defy analysis. Amer
ica might conceivably become en-
broiled in war in the Atlantic or
the Pacific, it might be that sea-
borne supplies could be cut of
sufficiently to make some COM
modities tremendously expensive; it
might be that a hammer-and-
tongs war in Europe would make
all foods in such demand that cost
of homemaking in America would
be vastly higher-but none of these
things cloud the horizon now.
The race for self sufficiency has
been going on in Europe for nearly
10 years. Great Britain, of course.
was never truly contestant in this
race except in the name of the
British Empire. Here, however, the
beginning of a war finds a con-
siderably different situation in re-
spect to supplies than prevailed in
1914. From Australia. Canada,
India and other possessions reser-
voirs of supplies have been built
against the contingency the mother
country faced in September. The
productive facilities for further sup
plies have been developed. There
will be no such call upon the
prairies of our Midwest for food as
was issued by the allies in 1915
to 1920.
Germany, Russia and Italy have
all increased food production enor-
mously since 1914. Germany and
Italy are not self-sufficient, but
near enough so that their restricted
wartime purchases are not expected
to have much effect on world prices.
Furthermore, the United States
Government is determined to pre-
vent unwarranted price increases
and it has control equipment such
as it never had 25 years ago. The
quick action of President Roose-
welt in removing the quota restric-
tions on sugar when temporary
local shortages boosted the price
of this commodity in September was
an indication of administration
policy which doubtless has health
full effect, from the consumers
standpoint in many quarters.

Many Factors Likely
10 Block Runaway
Retail Prices
War Buying Stampede
Ended Quickly and
Costs Decline
BY Cambridge Associates.

oJ SoiDAAAsc SAnooeAesS".
For a time last fall, Immediately
after the outbreak of Europe's war,
many housewives had vision OF the
immediate return of their troubles
of 1918-2O when sugar and flour
were rationed. all food prices went
sky-high, and adequate, tasteful
meals for a family demanded con-
juring skill rather than culinary.
AS suddenly as it rose, however,
the buying stampede subsidized. Liv-
ing costs are nearly back to the low
point where they started from and
there seems no good reason to ex-
pect that more than moderate in
creases in general living costs will
plague consumers in 1910.
If we match the dollar against the
food, rent, clothing and miscellane-
GUS needs of the average household
we find it's purchasing power today
about half way between its worth in
1929 and that in 1882. If we take
1925 dollar as a standard, IS cents
was Just as valuable in terms of its
buying power at the most recent
estimate; on the same basis, TIT
cents was as good in 1882.
Food Below 1929 Marks.
Food, which is the biggest single
item in the budget of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Average Consumer, is consider
ably less than it was in 1929. II
there were such couple, and they
could remember what their dollars
were worth in 1929 in terms of foods.
they would find IS cents was just
about as useful to them in providing
food for their family today. In buy
ing clothing, IA cents or less would
buy just as much as would dollar

Don't Bother Feminine Pros,
Concerned Only With Golf
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, June 15.-You don't
hear much about the ladies who
make golf their business.
Women professionals are few in
number.
But second glance at those COM
peting In the women's Western Open
tournament here this week would
shock the vanity Of some members
Of the fair sex who apparently re-
gard the golf course as the place
to show of fancy duds.
The top-notchers worry about
their game, but never about such
feminine foibles as muddy shoes
and skirts or shiny faces during a
contest.
Golfing is their business and in
the early stages Of the tourney when
business called for them to slush
around in wet grass and a driving
rain, gabbed in cellophane panties
and canvas mother hubbards, they
took it smiling.
The four business women" in the
meet are Mrs. Helen Hicks Harb of
New York, former national cham
pion; Mrs. Opal S. Hill of Kansas
City, a veteran tournament per-
former; Helen Dettweiler of Wash
lngton, D. c., an attractive blonde
who turned pro just a month ago
and Virginia Depp of st. Louis.
Feminine problems in golf?"

wrlnging water out of her drenched
skirt.
Part Of Helen's nonchalant poise
may come from the fact she is
former radio announcer and news
paper reporter.
Mrs. Hill. who didn't take up golf
until she was 80. was medalist in
the national three times. but some
how never came through the semi
finals. Disguised, she took up the
more profitable business of golf lee
turing and instructing.
1t was unnecessary to ask Mrs.
Hill If she worried about what the
well-dressed woman should wear on
the course. She had just finished
round in a battered felt hat
covered by raincoat case, a blue
sweat shirt and black skirt-none
the last word in sporting styles.

but the Capital is expected to retain
the Hotchkiss Cup for the sixth
successive year tomorrow and Satur-
day when the intercity matches are

Club.
Now leading Baltimore by one in
the number of victories recorded
since the annual matches started
back in 1921. Washington will be
seeking its 10th triumph in the 18th
series. Richmond has won once and
Norfolk not at all
Makeup of Team Uncertain.
Because it is not at all certain
that District Champion Barney
Welsh and others like Alfonso Smith,
Jimmy Farrin and Bill Howard will
play, Washingtons team may not
have the easy time it experienced
both last year and the year before
when it romped to one-sided VIC
tories.
If Welsh doesn't play David john
sen, newly crowned champion of The
Star tournament, will play the No.
l singles match for Washington,
with Hugh Lynch playing No. 2.
Dooley Mitchell. captain, who has
charge of naming the team, likely
will play No. 3. The local squad will
be completed by Frank Shore-like
johnson, Lynch and Mitchell-from
Edgemoor; Ricky Willis of Columbia,
Tom Mangan Of Army Navy and
Tommy Moorhead of Chevy Chase.
Mangan, incidentally, will be the
only local player who represented
Washington in the first Hotchkiss
Cup match 10 years ago. At that
time he was one of a team of such
sterling old-timers as Dwight Davis,
donor of the international trophy
and later Secretary of War; Clar-
ence Charest, Art HELEN and Capt.
AL Gore. He is thought to be the
only player of any of the four teams
to have played in every Hotchkiss
Cup match.
Draw Opponents by Lot.
AS always, competition will con-
sist of six singles and three doubles
matches each day. First-day op-
ponents will be drawn by lot with
the winners meeting for the cup on

Baltimore is the only city of the

on grass. Richmond has har-tru
