The governors name has been
used as the "open sesame" to the

To refund the money off the unfavor-

Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-03-30

Speaking of fooling some of the
people some of the time, or maybe
even all the time, there was an ex-
ample of frankly trying to do just
that in the Senate yesterday.
Representative Sheriff Raspberry,
Of Greene, introduced a House bill
to put certain woman on the pen
sion lists "When she shall have quail
fled under the general pension law"
In accordance with a fixed Gus
tom, the Senate calendar committee
gave the bill a routine unfavorable
report because this committee al
ways declines to approve special
legislation when there is a general
law on the subject.
Yesterday Senator Fred Sutton
asked the Senate to put the bill on
the calendar and gave as his reason
the fact that it does absolutely moth
ing at all except what the woman
could do without any special law,
that is, qualify under the general
act" In this belief Senator Bill Rod
man, chairman of the calendar group
concurred.
Oh, we'll, the Sheriff" can 60 back
to Greene and point out to the lady
what wonderful things he did for
her, in the face of tough going.

Tri-ContinenfaI Reveals
Funds Fully Invested
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Earle
Bailie, chairman of the board of Tri-
Continental Corp, investing concern,
reported today his company ended
1888 "in a substantially fully in
vested position" and had this to say
to stockholders of the outlook:
"The present investment position
of your corporation should not be
interpreted as rejecting an expecta-
ton on the part of your manage
ment that the coming year will bring
rapid and wholesome extension of
the improvement that has taken
place to date. 1t reflects, rather, a
feeling Of some confidence that,
barring unprecedented developments
there should be no serious domestic
decline in the period Immediately
ahead, even though period of pause
and some slowing down seems not
unlikely. Although it is recognized
that political and economic events
abroad may upon occasion have an
unsettling effect upon American
markets, nevertheless, under all cir
cumstances, it seems reasonable to
anticipate satisfactory business in
the coming year."
Net assets of Tri-Continental
were equal to s179 a share on the
preferred and $4.84 a common share,
against S152 and 1925, respectively,
at the end of 1887.

Export Copper and Lead
Quotations Are Cut
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. pa few
cracks appeared in the non-ferrous
metal price structure last week when
export copper slipped a little lower
domestic lead was marked down 10
points and tin declined.
Export copper dipped to 1905 cents
pound but at the close of the week
better feeling was apparent abroad
The domestic price was maintained
at 1114 cents despite continued fail
ure of consumers to enter the mar
ket.
Copper analysts pointed out that
the longer the II 1A-cent level is held,
the less likelihood there is of a re-
duction, as fabricator stocks are low
Underscoring this view was a re-
duction in output by Phelps Dodge
Corp, the third company recently
to curtail production.
Lead declined to Ats cents a
pound. Following the cut greater
activity developed and estimates for
this months shipments indicate a
level of $4,000 to 10000 tons, against
$4,000 in December, seasonally poor
month. Lead statistics for Decem-
ber revealed production and con-
sumption about in balance.
Tin dropped to the lowest point in
three months as liquidation devel-
oped in England. World tin sta
tistics for 1888 disclosed a sharp
drop in consumption and produc-
tion.

Woo|en Goods Trade
Boosted Sharply by
Spring Demand
Mills Are Falling Behind
\ On Deliveries; Prices
Show improvement
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The woolen
goods section elbowed into the
Worth Street Textile Market spot
light last week when increased de-
mand for womens wear for spring
needs led to heavy turnover and
strengthening prices.
Mills indicated they were falling
behind in deliveries on many items
as some $4,000 pieces of women's
woolen coatings, suitings and dress
goods were booked for delivery into
March and April. Mems wear was
also active although sales were
somewhat lighter.
Prices advanced on Woolen suit
ings and topcoatings, which are
now to 712 cents yard above
early season levels.
Brisk demand appeared for fin
ished goods with sales largely for
nearby delivery. Commission men
pointed out this inquiry should soon
carry over into gray cloth lines as
converters enter the market for
spring requirements.
Demand for rayon fabrics centered
on spun rayon flakes and box loom
articles. Silk goods declined in mid
week when buying fell off as buyers
appeared unwilling to anticipate
requirements.
Cotton gray cloths were sluggish
and prices sagged on some lines.
Sheetings also sold at concessions
but at the end of the week mills held
firmly to their original listed rates.
Sales of 64x60 5.35-yard print cloths
were reported at ~ cents, down Il
cent from the beginning of the week,
however.
The 40-inch 76x72 combed lawn
construction was firm at 57s cents
and related key items moved at
steady prices. The 80 per cent 1915
Denier silk line sold at $2.12 to $2.17

Of what we eat There are over forty
children in Delaware who are so

whose Gripping is due to nutritional
deficiencies. How many more OF us
there are whose attractiveness is
marred by knock-knees, bowlegs,
poor teeth and fiabby muscle tone!
All of these could have been pre-
vented by proper feeding. There is
considerable evidence TO show that a
change to a good diet will do much
to remedy defects already existing in
dental structure. Improved muscle
tone will be the result of improved
nutrition.
Good nutrition will not only in
