DON'T WANT THIRD

II is unlikely the Hawks want
third place any more than Detroit
because that would throw them
against the Canadiens' steam
roller in the first round. They
want second place - and they'll
have their chance to get il be-
cause they play Detroit four times
in the last nine games. Two home
and home series are scheduled. the
first this weekend and the second
the final weekend Of the season,
March Is and 10.
If there is any advantage in the
schedule and in precedent il rests
with Detroit, which in its five
remaining home games plays New
York, Chicago, Toronto and Bos-
ton. which have not won here this
season. In addition TO their two
games at Chicago the Wings go
on the road TO play Boston and
CanadienS, and are conceded

Market Lacks
Real Incentive
To Get Going
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor nf Economics. y. y niAerslik
Two on three points concerning
the stock markets recent per-
Torrance arc definitely outstand-
ing Perhaps the most outStand-
ing one of these is the way the
public utility stocks have moved
up and made new highs.
THE utilities" represent an i'm
portant group OF securities -- as
important as any other main
group They have had separate
and special significance as a group.
a few wears AGO what was the
outstanding group on the decline :?
Where did persistent weakness
occur p II was in the utilities.
And The reason was that this
group had 10 bear the brunt Of the
New Deal attack Of free enter
prise. The "yardStick' notion.
and INC so-called "deash sentence
clause Viii he recalled. --
Now however we find this
same important group showing
persistent strength. II Is out
standing in the rise, despite back
wardneSS in the key induStrialS.
E}t5ry-- ttrfS- not intricate ttT8t me
conditions which depressed "the
utiHFes" havd been changed? To
mytmind, one OF the most signif-
cant factors in the current market
position IS that the persistent &C
ton of utility stocks as good as
proves that the New Deal is
washed up and that the days OF
the rampant SEC are gone That
Is something?

NEEDS INCENTIVE

The whole thing comes 10 g
head in the common idea that the
market now awaits some strong
incentive" 10 get il out Of a rut.
That may be true, but II need
have no beariSh implication. In
decd. there are strong reasons 10
feel increased hope that plenty of
strong new incentive for buying
stocks will come in due course.
The so-called lack of incen-
tive Is due 10 two conditions Of
uncertainty: % the European
invasion. with Russian and home
front political complications; (2)
the life-and-death struggle be-
tween the New Dealers and the
rest of us. as illustrated 10y RooSe-
welt VS.. Congress. Until the out
come in these matters becomes
clearer mixed conditions and heSi-
tatlon will continue. But once the
outcome can be discounted. there

SHOULD BE BULLISH

The rise in the utilities probably
means more than the backward
ness Of the induSlriafs 1t should
be very hulliSh.
The second Of the outstanding
factors is the argument over the
difference between the action OF
the rails and the industrialS. Some
market analysts dwell upon the
divergence as If il We're fatal,
and necessarily meant an end Of
the bull market
Did space permit. I could show
that similar divergences have ex-
iStcd before without any such
fatal consequences. But my main
point -thatthe present aetieh-of
the two groups is quite logical,
and that the logic Of II IS not
beariSh in significance.
The rails. while probably nearer
their peak than the induStriatS.
are StiA very how IN comparison
with the net earnings, and the
outlook for earnings has improved
of late. And il should Ia HeteA
that the railways. as public uuli-
ties themselves. Will enjoy some of
the benefits of the greater safety
of the power and light companies
Perhaps il may be added that the

There have always been "tho

them has been increased by the
distinction between war babies
and peace stocks" The indus
trials too. are in general more
directly affected by initiation and
deilation than the rails. Accord
inCly IL is not surprising 10 find
this group mixed and irregular

PLAY eANADIENs TWICE

One advantage for Detroit over
both Chicago and Toronto is the
fact that each of the latter must
play the Ganadiens twice. This
will be a definite disadvantage to
Toronto, with only six games left
10 play after its game at Boston
tonight. If the Frenchmen keep
close TO the form they showed i'm
beating Detroit here 3 TO l Sunday
night there is little question about
the results of those two series.
AS the race now shapes up the
Wings, by return TO the dash
they showed before losing TO
Canadiens. 2-3J II days ago, can
hold second place, with Hawks
third and Toronto fourth at the
windup This would throw Detroit
against the Leafs in the first round
for the third time in four years.
DOUG BENTLEY CLIMBS
Doug Bentley's sniping in Chi
cago's weekend victories over
Toronto and New York have put
him in a challenging position for
the league scoring lead. The In
dian from Drumheller is now tied
with Herb Cain of Boston for the
most goals with 81. while ranking
third to him on total points with
81 against sc. Lorne Carr of To-
ronto is second with 50 but has
played two more games.
Bill Mosienko and Clint Smith,
other members of Chicago's high
scoring line, now rank fourth and
fifth and Sc points respectively.

Seeing the ruins here is one of the
things our troops in the Naples area
almost always do and It's always
worth while, but those who came
today are seeing lot more than
the ruins. They are seeing in opera
tion the things that created the
ruins.
The eruption of vesuvius, spec
tacular for days, Is more so this
afternoon. A giant swirling plume
|of volcanic ash more than a mile
high towers above the cone of the
mountain. At the top it spreads
into a thick cloud extending to the
horizon In the southwest and cover
ing half the sky. From this cloud
comes volcanic ash like that which
buried Pompeii nearly 1900 years
ago.
Ash Falls Steadily.
It falls steadily in small frag-
ments about the size of ordinary
grains of sand. One Of the boys
