NEW YORK, May lit was a
case of Where do we go from here"
in the stock market today and, with
prices jumbled from the start Of an
Indifferent session, the direction was
highly indefinite.
Comforting to those who have
been raised on the adage never sell

volume dWindled to another one Of
the low figures since last June.
Transfers for the five hours approx
imated 100000 shares. Early losses
running to point or so were re-
duced at the close and plus marks
were in evidence here and there,
but numerous issues finished under
water.
Signs of break in the soft coal
tieup, provided a mild prop for
sentiment. 1t was hoped miners
outside the Appalachian field pos
sibly would resume work before the
end of the week.
Happenings in Europe seemed to
be more reassuring than otherwise
and the domestic scene received the
main attention of traders. Some
pessimism followed early reports the
administration was cooling toward
any tax revisions at this time. SUBJ
sequent assertions of Secretary Nor
genthau that the Treasury intended
to ask Congress to remove business
deterrents from the tax laws brought
scant response from speculative con-
tingents.
Lacking rising inclinations most
of the time were United States

Automotive Hints
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

If that car heater fails to send
our normal warmth don't just take it
for granted that perhaps the snow
and slush on the road Is hold
ing down engine temperature. The
trouble may be no more serious than
clogged hose connection to the
heater. I had this hose removed
from my car the other day and
found that the passage was cut
down just about half. This acted
like thermostat in the line to the
heater core, retarding both quantity
and flow of water. With a new
hose the heater core warmed up
quicker and ran to a much higher
temperature. Water reached 1t more
quickly from the heated motor head,
and in greater quantities.
Trick in Adjusting.
Here is a simple way to adjust
dual carburetors where the engine
is an or IL in two blocks of four
or six cylinders. respectively:
The point is, of course, to equalize
the mixtures from the two car
buretors. To do this simply adjust
the carburetor for each block of
cylinders at time, doing the work
by cutting out the ignition for the
other block. This is done by dis
connecting the high tension wires
for the block that is cut out.
