Woman, SIS, Is Adept at Skiing;

BRIGHTON, Utah, Jan. 5-Let
the young folk sit by the fire; it's
the steep snowy slopes for 55-year-
old Mrs. Bertha Howard and her
skis.
Come wind or bitter cold, winter
finds her burning up the snowbanks.
Lickety-split she goes, down an
icy hill-a grim, set expression on
her face, Parker Hood a-flutter,
skis chattering and skipoles stream
ing out behind.
To hundreds of residents of Salt
Lake City, 80 miles from this
WaSatch mountain resort village,
Mrs. Howard is the tall. bony person
who presides over a neat kitchen
all summer long.
But to hundreds of winter sports
fans she is affectionately known as
the fanciest skier west of Dick Dur
rance. She says she's too old to take
part in tournaments, and she never
shows off in public-but there's real
purpose in her skiing when the
crowds have gone

the bust Mr.. Davidson did of the
President was the best that had
ever been done.
Many of the models for the bronze

The son of the sculptor plans to

author.
The only American figure repre-

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-Pay rolls
and production in the fiat glass in
dustry in 1910 promise to top 1899
by from 10 to is per cent, according
to reliable market and manufacture
ing surveys.
This prediction is further sub
stantiated by forecasts of a favor
able upturn in the two main markets
of the fiat glass industry-the auto
motive and building trades.
Residential construction, surveys
show, should be approximately IS
per cent higher in 1910 than in 1939
An increase in automobile and truck
production from 100000 units in
1899 to about 100000 in 1910 also
indicates greater activity in plate
glass production since nearly 10 per
cent of the plate glass goes in
car windows. These estimates are
based on data gathered by the
American Glass Review, leading
publication in the field, and
Economics Statistics. Inc, specialists
in business forecaSting.
Such jump in car production
would be reflected by a demand for
Is to II per cent more plate glass
by the auto industry.
AS for building-it has been
estimated by several authorities that
from 2,5O000O to 5000, 900 new homes
are needed in the next five years if
American housing standards are to
be maintained on anything like
decent level.
Another major market for struc-
tural glass is 10 the extensive
modernization programs under way
for business sections in cities and
towns throughout the United States.
Main street is being given a "face-
lifting and city planning projects
are making increasing use of struc-
tural glass because of its permanent
newness and decorative smartness.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Stocks

today's brief market session.
With the Christmas recess loom
ing-all markets will be closed Mon
day-boardrooms were all but de-
serted and the few traders who ap-
peared inclined to step lightly in
either direction. In most offices a
fraction of the ordinary personnel
was on duty. The ticker tape moped
throughout.
The list got off to a fairly good
start and, for a while, small ad-
vances predominated. Many early
gains, however, were Cancelled or
replaced with minor losses at the
close.
Transfers for the two hours were
around the 100000 share mark
A little more tax selling, brokers
said, continued as the principal re-
| tarding price influence and again
served to offset partially the flow OF
cheerful business news from all parts
of the Nation. Scattered issues,
however, managed to emerge with
modest plus signs as the result of re-
| investment demand.
| Favored for a time-some eventu-
ally backed away-were Douglas Air
craft, Loew's, Woolworth, Sears Roe
buck, Anaconda, Kennecott, Good

Pacific and Philip Morris.
Lacking much support were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, General
Motors. United States Rubber, Amer
ican Telephone: Union Carbide,
United Aircraft, Westinghouse,
American Smelling and American
Can.
Scant response was made by au-
tomobile stocks to the announce
ment of the Automobile Chamber of
Commerce that retail passenger car
sales last month were 43 per cent
better than in the like 1888 period.
Steels were unable to get going as
another dip in next weeks mill out
put, due mainly to holiday suspen-
sions, was forecast. Electrical equip
ments were sluggish following in
dictment of several of these concerns

Speculative optimists derived some
hope from market data indicating
that, in the week between Christmas

Greenville, July IA survey to-
day revealed that a devastating hall,
wind and rain storm which struck
the Pactolus community OF Pitt coun-
tv Yesterday afternoon did damage
estimated by residents Of the section
to be about 100000.
An estimated 5000 acres OF farm
ing land. including 900 acres of to-
bacco, were in the path OF the Storm
described by one farmer as belng tne
s'worst we've had in Pitt county thls
Pellets of hail peppered tobacco
and other plants on nearly every
farm in the Pactolus section, accord
ing to reports, with an average OF
Inn acres of tobacco being damaged
IN the farms of T. c.. Basnight, >. a.
Tripp and Joe Daniels, Negro, the
largest farms in the Pactolus COM
munity.
Besides tobacco, other crops re-
portedly damaged included cotton

mined number of trees were uproot-
ed in various parts of the Pactolus
community.
One resident said the storm struck
in the heart of the community and
