NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Stock
leaders wilted in today's market
after early buying in loW-priced
issues and specialties failed to
spread to other groups. Losses ran
to 2 or more points for many erst-
while favorities in the final hour.
Closing prices were above the bot
toms in most instances, but the
comeback was feeble.
Dealings were exceptionally slack
during the greater part of the ses-
sion, but volume picked up on the
backslide and transfers broadened to
around 100000 shares. The pace
slowed again near the finish.
Brokers, hunting reasons for the
reaction, inclined to place the prin-
cipal blame on revival of tax fears.
Wall Street has been going along
with the idea that Congress, in an
election year, would steer clear of
passing new imposts.

GERMAN STATEMENT

BERLIN, Aug 19.-German news papers carried a full front page ac- count Sunday of the Nazi procla- nation of total blockade against England by sea and air.
 The newspapers also carried an account of the exchange of notes between Germany and the United States over the American vessel American Legion.
 It is said the Berlin Government informed the United States that Germany disclaims any responsibil- ity for possible damage to the ves- sel.
 One German newspaper, the Deutsche Algemeine zeitung, com- mented as follows: "One would think that President Roosevelt would not have to have his attention called to the dangers surrounding Eng land as he had previously prohibited American vessels from entering the war zone"

Houghton, broke off an account of
some early misdemeanor Of Johns

In which a cannel-coal fire in pol

Forest Service Workers
Get 'On-the-Job' Training

The United States Forest service
is training employees through "ex-
perience Clinics" "on-the-job" train
ing, and planned experience.
Such training provides a short cut
to information and experience.
Workers on the service roll are
listed under more than 80 different
types Of skilled labor and II pro-
LESSONS. They are scattered over
about one-thirteenth of the United
States land area.
Skilled workers engaged in forestry
operations include fire guards, pack
ers, bull-dozer operators, powder
men, road locators, radio operators,
telephone linemen, and clerical
workers. The professional classifca-
tons include such positions as adj
ministrators, foresters, engineers,
range examiners, silviculturists, ac-
countants, economists, biologists,
chemists, and airplane pilots.
Peter Keplinger, forest service
training chief, reports that officers
who spend some time In training
employees, such as that given in
fire-control schools, may expect the
workers to accomplish more during
the remainder of the year because
of the short cuts and improved meth
DDS learned. He points out that
many employees in some Of the low
er-pay positions take greater inter-
est in their work when they under
stand its value to the public and its
use in saving time for ether service
workers.

Cooling Oven.-Sometimes an

be cooled by putting open pans Of

absorbs considerable heat and
may reduce the oven temperature
as much as SO degrees.
Keeping Cool.-If your home is
heated by warm air ducts, get
the furnace man to install a prop

drive the cool cellar air up into
the house through the ducts.
Save leftover toast for use as
bread crumbs. Run it once

outside the door, meaning to ask for
Debby's moccasins and to tell Mrs.
Houghton that she was going to take
walk.
The words, forming on her lips,
were checked there. The position
of Ann Houghton's figure held her
motionless, silent. She stood with
her back to the door, the palms of
her hands pressed fiat against the
wall, looking at long framed pam
ell between the windows. Her Shout
ders sagged. Every line Of her
body, usually erect, dropped in some
momentarily acknowledged defeat.
As Gay watched, her head bent
slowly forward until it touched the
panel against the wall.
Gay drew back out Of sight and
called her name. The reply, when
it came, was controlled, free from
any hint Of emotion. Ann Hough-
toms shoulders were erect. She
turned from adjusting fold Of the
crisp white curtain at the window
to glance with an inquiring express
sion and a faint smile toward the
door.

to Gay who came to her across the
priceless Chinese oriental rug which
covered the floor of the small par

She arrived in New York by way Of

"And quite rightly so, too, ex-

hand Johns grandmother extended,
looked down into her friendly eyes
beneath neat scallops of waved white
hair. "You must come to see me

quizzical expression that narrowed
the old lady's eyes.
"Yes," she said. ''I'm sorry" She
was sorry here, in this small warm
house, cluttered with curios, but
bright and cheerful. Looking down
into Abigail Houghton's face, wrin-
killed. softly like russell apple which
has lain too long in a basket, she
thought she knew how she had looked
as girl. She'd had reddish hair,
she thought, with those eyes and

'And a good thing for him that

shoulder to the painting, which hung
above the mantel, Of a blue-eyed
gentleman with curling brown hair
and side-burns, wearing a brass-but-
toned blue coat. "She had an UNI

turned to meet Gays gently smiling

AS Johns mother passed her,
walking out into the hall, Gay
glanced back into the room. The
panel, as she had remembered,
framed photographs Of John taken
at various ages. She followed his
mothers straight back and briskly
tapping heels feeling a curious sense
of pity mingled with resentment, ex-
