Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Buyers
pushed shares likely to benefit from
a prolonged European conflict higher
in todays stock market and leaders
added fractions to points or more.
Activity was moderate at the OPEN
ing and continued at fair rats
thereafter. At the finish prices were
near the best of the day.
Transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Return Of the war infants" to
favor after their temporary eclipse
yesterday was based largely on the
belief Prime Minister Chamberlain
in the Britisht House of Commons
Monday would announce the rejec-
ton by Britain and France of the
Russo-German peace move.
England. it was argued. would not
be likely to bargain on the basis of
a partitioned Poland, with the
menace of Hitlerism" which Cham
berlain once mentioned, unchanged.
Other diplomatic moves lent ar
gument to those who think the pres
ent war will continue for perhaps
the three years the British Premier
said was possible.
Turkey, it was reported. had noti-
| fed Britain and France that in case
they warred with Russia, her mutual
assistance obligations to them would
be considered annulled. She was
also said to have agreed with Russia
to close the Black Sea to belligerents.
thus making it impossible for the
allies to strike Germany from the
south and east.
Domestic news items seemed to be
ignored as traders weighed the dis
patches from abroad
| Some of them, however, were
considered constructive. Senator
Wheeler, chairman of the Interstatel
Commerce Committee, declared in
Boston he would attempt to bring
the railroad reorganization bill be-
fore Congress at the special session
and to get vote on it as soon as
possible.
In Washington the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics found the
general level of prices received by
farmers in mid-September was only
per cent below the pre-World War
figure.
In textile circles it was emphasized
that unless Britain released some of
the impounded Australian and New
Zealand wool clips, many mills in
this country would have to close by
spring.

Eyeglasses and
Magazines for AGED

A campaign to collect magazines
and discarded eyeglasses for the
Home for Aged and Infirm at Blue
Plains will be part of the early fall
program of the Pilot Club of Wash
ington. This was decided at a
meeting last week at the Iron Gate
Inn, with Miss Louise Boynton,
president of the club, presiding.
Mrs. Burnita Matthews, chairman
OF the Program Committee, made
several suggestions for services
which the club might render the
community.
1t was also unanimously voted
to adopt plan to collect old cloth
ing and household articles this fall
to be donated to the Goodwill In
duStrieS
Mrs. Matthews, who queried Off
cials at Blue Plains as to what the
club might do to be of service, was
told there are sufficient books for
use of the aged, but a constant re-
quest for magazines. She also was
told that discarded eyeglasses could
be put to good use at the home,
where an assortment is kept and
adjusted to individual needs. The
patients eyes change so rapidly
that it has been difficult to supply
them with satisfactory glasses, it
was explained.
This summer the Pilot Club,
through donation, sent an under
priviledged child to camp for two
weeks.

H. E. l. B. Talks Shop
Members Find Common Interest
In Promoting Domestic Sales

Drawn together by interests in
business field that is still fairly
new for women, members of the
Home Economics Women in Busi-
ness of the District of Columbia
a relatively small group-know
comradery that makes their organi-
zation one of the most enjoyable in
Washington.
Women whose job it is to promote
in various ways the sale of articles
utilized in the home, these H. E. I.
B. members may be found engaged
as radio program directors, writer's,
speakers, consultants,' in hotels, de-
partment stores and in financial and
textile fields.
At their meetings the talk turns
to subjects domestic-but along lines
that are carving careers in business,
and so stimulating are the sessions
that a 100 per cent attendance is
frequently recorded.
Like most other clubs, the H. E.
I. B. of the District is in state of
animated suspension during the
summer months. A plan is under
way, however, to request the ma
tional organization to hold its an
nual midyear meeting here next
January, which means that details
must be worked out before such
an invitation can be extended. This
meeting has never been held in the
Capital.
Work on next years program also
is under discussion. AS in the past,
efforts will be made to present out
of-town speakers at several of the
monthly meetings One of the guests
has already been lined up, Mary
Davis Gillies of a magazine staff,
having promised to come for an
early fall session.
Mrs. Ann Sullivan Hagen, director
of home economics for local dairy,
will begin the second part of her
two-year term as president next fall.
Miss Ethel Jean Lamond, who is
connected with drugstore, is secre-
tary- treasurer, the only other elected
officer of the group.
Two committees are appointed by
the president, however. Bernice
Burns, kitchen-planning director,
heads the Program Committee, on
which Elinor Lee of a radio COM
pany and Margaret Ann Mathews
of home service department are
members. The Membership Com
mittee is headed by Ruth Ann Par
ker, equipment demonstrator, vino is
assisted by Mrs. G. r. Landegreen,
owner and manager of cafeteria.
The Home Economics Women in
Business is branch of the Ameri-
can Home Economics Association,
organized in December, 1923, after
it had become apparent that home
economists were creating a very
definite place for themselves in the
business world-and that their
problems differed from those of
home economics teachers.
Membership requirements include

Water Chestnuts

A method of glorifying the lowly

out by members of the crafts and
hobbies section of the Alexandria
Girls Club, which, recently organ
lied under the auspices of the Wom-
ems Club. has proven a boon both

under the sun.
The chestnuts are then carried
back to club headquarters at 2l7
N. st. Asaph street, where the girls
paint them in brilliant colors OF
varied hues to string them in long
chains when dry. On the order of
the popular California charm
strings. made from the eucalyptus
bulbs and buttons native to that
State, the water chestnut strings
are put to attractive use, particularly
in vacation cottages. where they
may be suspended before fireplaces
or used as tie-backs for curtains.
The crafts and hobbies section
has proven one of the most popular
in the club this summer, and many
useful and entertaining hobbies
have been taught the girls. These
include spatter pictures and soap
carving. the latter growing in popu-
larity with girls interested in artis-
tic hobbies.
Croquet has been added to the
list of outdoor sports. which in
clude bicycle riding and swimming

State Department Aide Has
Spent Absorbing Years
In Historical Research

She did considerable work for the
Dutch government also, compiling
original reports of the early Dutch
slave trade.
In addition she represented the
Library of Congress and during the
early part of her career in Seville
introduced the first typewriters and
the first photocopy machine among
the students and research workers
of the Spanish city.
The only time during her % years
in Spain that her research work was
interrupted was during the World
War, when she was in charge of
the American Office of public in
formation. In order to give un-
censored reports to Americans and
Englishmen living in Spain at that
time she started the first foreign
language newspaper, The American
News, which continued publication
throughout the war.
When the Spanish revolution
started Miss Wright was in Portu-
gal, where she had gone with her
mother and little Spanish girl,
