Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The stock
market showed distinctive lack Of
punch today, although few utili-
ties, motor trucks, amusements and
specialties managed to register mod
est hits.
Dealings, fast at the opening when
blocks of 1000 to 10000 shares
changed hands, contracted to almost
nothing as the proceedings wore
on, and transfers for the full ses-
sion approximated 100000 shares.
What some Wall Streeters have
been terming "the queerest of queer
wars seemed to have lost much Of
its influence on buyers. and news
from foreign centers was hardly Of
character to stimulate the specu-
lative urge, brokers said.
Business developments at home,
including earnings statements and
dividends, served to buoy board
room spirits moderately, but even
here the question arose as to
whether the recent industrial climb
might be near the peak for the time
being and possibly would flatten out
in coming weeks.
Steels did little either way as the
American Iron and Steel Institute

90.2 per cent of capacity This

New Record Reached
By Time Deposits
In Capital Banks
Controllers Analysis
Indicates Advance
In Savings Accounts
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Time deposits, including savings
accounts, in Washington banks on
October 2, 1882 established a new
high mark for the Capital accord
Ing to the report just issued by the
controller of the currency.
On the date of the October call
time deposits totaled $l13607 900,
against Sll0,163000 on June 80:
1ll,949 900 on March %, 1899, and
$109 $4,000 on December 81 last.
The figure is also ahead of Sep
tember year ago. when time de-
posits amounted to S1l0 447 900. The
October time deposit figure is not
only a new record but also played
an important role in boosting de-
posits of all types to new high
mark.
Back in December, 1887, time de-
posits stood at Sl05 932 900, the Oc-
tober figure rejecting the steady
advance which has taken place since
then. While the analysis does not
separate strictly savings accounts
from other time deposits, it is gen.
orally understood that savings are
now at very high figure and that
the number of savings depositors
is at new high mark for the Cap
ital.

 Collarless necklines, "little girr collars and delicate white lingerie jahots and ruffles, featured In the smartest collections of spring clothes, will draw attention to the throat. Between now and the time to shop for an Easter costume, by all means begin doing beauty rou- tines which will make your throat smooth, white and firm.
 Ice water rinses, the right ex- ercises and regular use of 0 rich night cream are all important, oi course. cleanse your throat every time you cleanse your face and pow der 1t as carefully as you powder your nose.
 At night, wash face and neck with warm water and soap suds then rinse with very cold water un- til throat is pinkish and cheeks are tingling. Afterward, apply night cream from collar bone up- ward to hairline. Massage 1t in with upward and outward strokes.
 Always work upward on throat, upward and outward from cor ners of mouth to temples, around and around eyes, from center outward on forehead. Pat the vertical lines between your brows and gently press those at outer corners of eyes. When your skin has absorbed most of the cream, wipe off the excess, leaving the rest on while you sleep.
 To eliminate bad head posture which often produces Q full, al- most double-chin look just below the jawbone, do this exercise sev- eral times 0 week.
 Stand erect with arms ct sides. Relax neck and let head fall backward Imply. Now place flngertips behind ears and lift head upward. Notice how this makes the lump on the back of tho neck disappear. Repeat five times. Then repeat without using hands, making muscles at the sides of the neck do the work of lifting the head.

1 of cardiac lnsufiiciency of functional weakness although there was no demonstrahle lesion discovered in the necropsy. In sixty cases the over weight had been associated with high tension (hypertension, high blood pressure). In nine of these subjects coronary scelrosls was found that is hardening of the arteries of the heart wall; in two cirrhosis of the liver; in one aortitis (disease of the great artery), in one dilated and hypertrophied (enlarged) heart, An increase in the amount of fat in and around the heart was found in i2o of these overweight subjects. In all instances more fat was de- posted In the wal lof the right ven- tricle than in the left. The right ventricle, as most readers will not remember, pumps the blood that has come back from the veins through the lungs to be "purihed"; which means mainly relieved of its load of carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas) and saturated with oxygen to carry to the cells of the body.
 Perhaps we had better add that the purified blood Is returned from the lungs to the left auricle and through the well known mitral valve Into the left centriele, which pumps 1t out through the great artery (aorta)-and If you can't follow 1t on it's course from there, consult any physiology.
 Pathologist Harry L. Smith re- corded the weights of Q thousand normal hearts of normal, if some- what lifeless, adults of normal aver age weight and stature, and found that the average weight of the adult male heart is 2e4 grams and of the adult female heart 260 grams. In avoirdupois that would be approxi- mately 10 ounces for the male heart and ounces for the female, The weight of the heart increases in pro- portion with the weight of the body when an adult takes on excess weight, but the proportionate in- crease Is slightly greater for males than females.
 The excessive deposit of fat just beneath the smooth membrane cov- ering the heart, and the penetration of fat between muscle bundles and muscle fibers impairs heart function by interfering with contraction and relaxation of muscle and with the nutrition of the heart muscle. Then, too, the heart in the overweight in- dividual has to do increased work to supply blood to the superfiuous body tissue, the stacker flesh. Hence the shortness of breath of the over- weight individual on moderate exer- ton. And hence the comparatively poor chance of such Q patient to withstand an illness which taxes the reserve power of the heart, say pneumonia.
 An alternative for the periodic physical examination for the oyer- weight adult is to try to run Q mile ct jog trot. If you can do 1t, 1t Is safe to put of the health examina- ton another year.

 There are three ways In which to- days hand might be played. one would be to take one round Of trumps, play the top clubs, discard c spade on the third round, and then ruff two diamonds in dummy The second method would be the spade flneSse after drawing trumps. The third method Is to draw trumps get rid of Q spade on the long club, and then play East for the spade king.

RAISING A FAMILY --- Dr. Stork Just Won't Take DictatiOn From Mothers

1 Smith showed no improvement, acc cording to her mother. She refused to be dainty. She was strong, yell- cd powerfully and had hair as straight and black as on Indians, Where, oh where, were the lustrous golden eurls that belonged on Q Titania?
 But the worst of oil was her very powerful way of doing what she wanted when she wanted and exactly how. She wouldn't play with girls, either. She wanted to play with boys most of the time. She could wrestle and pnch with the best of them.
 Not only this, but her mother nursing her grief, She lost interest in trying to dress Mary nicely. What Is the use9" she would say, "when she doesn't look decent in anything7"
 Not only this, but her mother last interest in Mary herself. She would have been such Q grand mother to her dream child, but here was Q changeling entirely for- eign to her hopes. She could not understand this child, with her strong will and independence. She longed for c sweet little girl who would "Yes, mother" her and do her credit, as she thought.
 Mary and her father got along better. But even he, with an un- bendable force of his own, clash- cd with the child constantly. He wanted his offspring to bow to his will. That was too bad, for 1t seems that neither parent was trying to deal with what they had but what they wished for. Still. Mary and her father had some sympathy for each other.
 More time passed. Mary grew and grew. She stopped at five feet seven. This was blow added to blow. The fact that she was tops ct basketball didn't matter. It was oil the worse. She was Q good ale around athlete, but her family took little interest in her victories.
 Still Independent
 By this time she was as independ- ent ct 6 Polar expedition. She knew instinctiyely that she had never had e real place in her parents hearts. She felt lonely ct times, but she was too young to be bitter. She took e course and went to work. Mary made good and married e fine man.
 She was very beautiful now. Her mother is terribly proud. But Mary seldom goes home. She can afford a monthly check to her parents, who need 1t now. but that is the limit of her attention. They blame their daughter. Do you!

 The choice between the other two methods depended on which opponent was more likely to have the king of spades. East's bid of six diamonds indicated that he had some defensive values, so South adopted the third method and made his contract.
