NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Despite
quiet strength in assorted low
priced specialties, stocks generally
were unable to keep on the right
foot in today's market.
Fractional advances were fairly
well distributed in the forenoon,
but volume dwindled on the at
tempted recovery. With buying no.
tably selective in the latter part of
the session, early gains were wiped
out IN many cases and prices were
irregular at the close. Transfers
approximated 800 900 shares.
Signs, here and there, of a slack
enlng OF the business recession,
combined with bright sales and
earnings statements buoyed individ-
ual stocks. Speculative contingents.
though, could get little inspiration
from war news or national political
maneuverings.
Softening commodities, among
other things. tended to cloud mar
ket sentiment. Bonds turned UP in
spots. especially Latin American
loans. Foreign securities markets
were trendless.
Among stocks, Loft, Studebaker
and Martin Parry managed to post
new 1939-1940 tops in the morning.
Supported were Crown Cork, Chrys-
Ter, General Motors, Union Can bide,
Allied Chemical, United States Gyp-
sum, National Steel. International
Harvester and American Can.
Steels, rails. rubbers and aircrafts
were hesitant throughout. Pan
American Airways dipped. It was
learned the concern would offer
525 ,39l shares of its capital issue to
present holders at s12.75 a share,
with any unsubscribed portion sold

Radiators
BY ELEANOR ROSS

AFTER HAVING the whole
year in which 10 tackle the mat
ter. il is generally about now
that we become acutely con-
scious Of the necessity of doing
little camouflage work on the
room radiators.
Being strictly functional.
there's no nonsense about a
radiator. and while new houses
and apartments are doing a good
Job on the built-in type. most
of us are faced with stark ugly
radiators.
Grille Covers
or course, the best thing is to
save pennies and have the radi-
ators completely covered with
those bronze grille covers. Then
there are half covers and deep
shields of the shelf type. that
are available in many finishes, so
that il is possible to harmonic
the fixture with the wall cover
ing.
Or you can get the implanted
variety and do your own paint
Job. After the shelf or top or
covering is on, get busy and do
a little identifying. A row OF
cactus plants in gay pottery con-
tainers, or some handsome pots
of ivy will lift up the whole
thing and give color and verve
10 what would otherwise be
duh or even ugly part of the
room.
Expert Accents
Some people do a building job
around the radiator, thanking it
with bookshelves or cupboards
to create a unit. This of course
needs expert handling, and the
V of insulating materials. But
that, good amateur car
penter could undertake the job.
Moving a radiator to better
position and then doing a good
-camoffiage Job often gives
completely different look to
room. This isn't necessarily an
expensive job. and one that any
competent plumber can easily
handle.
Glass shelves to hold plants
that thrive in moist warm air
will add beauty to the remod-
elled radiator, and so turn a
necessary liability into an
artistic asset
