Well, two dozen years of tow-
boating on Puget Sound Is bound
to turn up some pretty screwy
things, but Henry can boast Of one
of the screwiest.
While he trigged up the engine
room with paintbrush, I sat on
the companion ladder and listened
to his yarn about the time he ran
afoul Of wild steer In the middle
Of Commencement bay.
"one snappy morning I was
headed for the moorings when l
saw what looked like porpolse
blowing just couple Of points off
my bow. ! could hear the snort
and see steam rising. but somehow
1t didn't look natural, either.

I'VE had a heck of time with
her around the landing here until
she finally got away from US and
went snorting down the railroad
tracks headed for Portland, I
guess.

ASoOIihtcu EAcss "lJtcls
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Buying
signals were heard in the stock
market today and many recent lag
CARDS, led by steels, pushed up
fractions to around 2 points.
The list, hesitaEt at the start,
soon began to pick up following.
Rails, motors, rubbers, merchandise
ings, air transports and an assort-
ment of specialties were taken in
hand at intervals and most finished
at or near the days tops despite
profit-taking in the final hour.
Activity broadened occasionally,
although slowdowns were frequent.
Transfers approximated 10000
shares.
AS in the past few weeks the mar
ket found scant stimulation in Eu-
ropes daWdling war, but a little
more attention apparently was paid
to the steady flow of optimistic
business and industrial develop
ments at home
While many traders remained in
the neutral zone because of the
notable reluctance of stocks in past
weeks to trail along with the eco
nomic swing, others seemingly were
beginning to come around to the
idea that the moment might be at
hand when the gap would be short
ened
Fears of labor disputes accom-
panying the climb of corporate earn
ings, and the possibility of the next
Congress boosting taxes, tended to
restrain speculative temperaments,
brokers said.
In the matter of taxes. notice was
taken OF the remarks of Undersec-
retary of the Treasury Hanes in
which he indicated the administra-
ton had thus far not evolved any
program for the coming year. The
official also asserted he looked for
some seasonal slackening in the
business curve after the first of the
year, but saw nothing that pointed
to any sustained downturn.
Among the days principal share
gamers were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Mo-
tors, Montgomery Ward, United
States Rubber, Goodrich, Safeway
Stores, Macy, Sears -Roebuck. East
ern Airlines, American Telephone,
General Electric, Westinghouse,
American Can, Union Carbide, AL
lied Chemical, New York Central,

way.
Coppers. oils and utilities shifted

Loans for Property
Repairs Show Sharp
Gains in District
D. 6. Bank Officers
Note Steady Upturn
Under Housing Act
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington banks and other lend
Ing institutions In and out of the
Capital are constantly stepping up
loans under Title I of the Federal
Housing Act, which are granted for
property repairs and improvements,
it was learned in the financial dis
trict today.
Title I loans by lending institu-
tions with head Offices in the District
OF Columbia since February 3, 1938
through October 81, 1899, numbered
5,584 and amounted to 81, ,282, an
increase of 679 Title I loans since
August 81, and a gain of $3O2,413
In total amount.
Title loans allowed on properties
located in the District of Columbia
by lending institutions wherever To-
Gated, totaled 3,947 as of September
80, 1882 and amounted to $1,736,247
This was an increase since July 81,
1889, of PSI loans, and an increase of
$l14 093 in amount in the two-month
period,
Interest in mortgage insurance
loans under Title II of the Federal
Housing Act has also been on the
increase. Since these loans were
first made, lending institutions with
their head offices in Washington, as
of September 80, 1899, had made
BIOS, involving the total sum of
$18,560,030.
Financiers said today that a ma
3ority of Title 1 loans are made by
Washington banks, although there
are many other lending institutions
that are extending them freely. The
figures are based on latest reports
from the Federal Housing Admins
tration.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-After selling

wheat prices rallied to score net
fractional gains today.
Reports of light rains in the
Southwest at such points as Well

in Kansas, and drizzling rain at
Ponca City, Okla, tended to check
buying of July contracts, but de-
mand for December wheat was bet

the premiums at which actual grain

With the glorious tradition Of
the Blue Grass country as its
background and the famed Ken
lucky Derby as its spectacular
climax, Kentucky" a Twen-
tieth Century Fox production
which has been photographed in
brilliant technicolor, opened yes
terday at Loew's Palace Theater
with Loretta Young and Rich
ard Greene heading a fine cast.
Much of Kentucky" was
filmed on location in the heart
of the Blue Grass State, and the
picture is a revelation of the
luXuriant beauty of this land
where thoroughbreds roam the
meadows behind white fences.
Moreover, in bringing out the
depth and brilliance of the cou1-
try, the jeweled hues of the
jockeys silks, the crowds, and
the Derby itself, technicolor was
never used to better advantage.
In fact, after seeing Ken
lucky" through the lens Of the
technicolor camera, it is diff
cult to imagine how the film
could possibly have been made
in any other way. Nothing but
color could do justice to such a
setting, and few stories could so
richly deserve the considerably
more expensive technique Of
color photography.
The outbreak Of the civil war
forms what might almost be
termed a prologue to the story;
1t establishes a feud between the
houses of Dillon and Goodwin
which continues through all the
years that follow, up to the pres
ent time. Then Jack Dillon,
played by Richard Greene, re-
turns from an eight-year stay in
England and falls in love with
Sally Goodwin Ooretta Young).
Shortly after his return, Jack
gets into a quarrel with his
father and leaves home. He
looks for a job at the Goodwin
stables as a trainer and, since

spectators, supplies the great
dramatic climax to the film.
Lovely Loretta Young has
never been better and it almost
seems that the role of Sally
Goodwin was conceived with
her in mind. Richard Greene
is splendid as Jack Dillon.
while Walter Brennan does the
finest bit of acting in his career.
Douglas Dumbrille, Karen Nor
ley and Moroni Olsen, along
with the remainder of the cast,
are excellent. David Butler di.

Everything Happens
To Martha in Dav

Martha Raye was injured
from head to foot today in a
series of mishaps that occurred
during the filming of location
scenes for her new Paramount
comedy, Never Say DE-" near
Chatsworth.
Martha stepped into a gopher
hole and painfully turned her
right ankle while making an
entrance with Bob Hope for a
duel scene.
After the ankle was strapped
with adhesive, she hobbled back
for a scene in which Hope fired
a revolver at a stump Of wood.
The bullet shattered the stump,
and a fragment struck Martha

Sally and Jack starts that day.
Sally's father dies suddenly
and she and her Uncle Peter

And then, to make their mis-
fortune complete, that animal
is ruined for racing when Sally
has to ride him through a
thunderstorm to save her
mothers life.
One day, by mere chance, a
note is discovered in which
Goodwin had won a wager from
Dillon, allowing him the pick of
any two-year-old in the Dillon
stable. The horse is selected
and entered in the Kentucky
Derby, with the Dillon entry a
