Bv VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Jan. 10-The stock
market ran into light selling today
in the wake of it's lengthy creeping
advance. but many leaders managed
to emerge with fractional net gains
and weakness was rare.
The climbing rails settled down in
a narrow range after fast fore
noon upturn and initial improve
ment running to point or so was
trimmed Substantially in most cases
at the close. There were a num-
ber OF scattered strong spots.
Bids Cushion Liquidation.
Commission house customers who
had ridden the list on its upswlng
of the past week either kept new
commitments at a minimum or con-
verted part of their paper profits
into cash as a form of insurance
against untoward happenings over
the week end. At that bids usually
were sufficient to cushion such liqui-
dation.
The Frightening business picture,
brokers said, still was the main
speculative inspiration for those who
continue to nourish the idea that at
least a minor infationary shift may
be witnessed soon or late as the
outflow of Government money be-
gins to seep into numerous lines OF
industry.
Market activity stepped up in the
morning and slowed appreciably on
the home stretch. Transfers for the
full proceedings were around 100000
shares.

Mummy, can I have my choco-

First eat your vegetables. After
that you may have piece of choco-

"I don't want any vegetables. I
want my chocolate bar
You heard what I said. Don't
try to fuss with me. Eat your vege-
tables and stop this nonsense. Begin
with the carrot. Begin. l mean 1t.
Hubert took a spoonful of carrot
mumbled it as long as possible, eye
ing his mother all the while as
though she were villainous bandit
instead of the gentle creature she is,
longing to help him.
Seeing no help for it, he swallowed
and gulped. Thus, he neatly over
turned his stomach. returning the
small amount of dinner he had
eaten For a moment his mother
was frightened. Then she remem-
bered that this is trick any young
ster of 3 can perform without
much effort. 1t is demonstration
of power in the face of greater
force
Instead of going to his aid, utter
ing comforting sounds, and hand
ing him his candy, as he fully ex-
pected she would do. his mother
went into the kitchen and began
washing the dishes, singing under
her breath.
Hubert stood that as long as he
could and then he called plain
lively, Mummy. I threw up"
That's all right. Just come for
the house rag and clean it up. Then
go ahead with your vegetables
Hubert couldn't believe his ears.
He called again and got only the un-
satisfactory reply, Eyes, heard you
the first time"
He cried little. He called again.
At last he got down from his seat
at the table, asked for the rag, got
it, and made his gesture of cleaning
up. After that his mother quite
casually finished the wiping, pushed
his plate before him and went back
to the kitchen. Hubert ate his
carrots and asked for his candy. He
got it and went his way.
Children of tender age do this
once or twice to test out its efficacy.
If it works they do it regularly and
keep the family jumping. Children
who do not want to go to school
empty their stomachs on the class
room floor in the hope of being sent
home as sick. If they are allowed
to go home on that excuse they will
make life miserable for their
teachers and mothers. Don't let the
first attempt succeed and the trouble
will soon end. Let it succeed just
