fensive in the of11ng and Moscow
denounced the Russian-Japanese
neutrality treaty. Even the warning
of Gen. Eisenhower that an out
right surrender by Germany was i'm
probable did little in the way of in
spring bids for armament issues
Individual stocks were propped to
some extent by earnings and divi-
dend prospects.
The ticker tape barely moved in
the morning and prices were no
worse than a shade mixed Volume
then picked up a bit when i'm
portant bulletins began to arrive,
but the aggregate for the full pro-
ceedings of around 100000 shares
was another of the smallest in sew
eral months. Near closing losses
ranged from fractions to more than
a point.
Prominent on the retreat were
Santa Fe, N. Y. Central, Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, U. S.
Steel, Chrysler, U. s. Rubber, Mont
gomery Ward, United Aircraft, Boe-
ing, Eastern Air Lines, Western

was shown by American Telephone,
Sears Roebuck, International Har-
vester and Dupont.
Among curb laggards were Cities

Taft of Ohio. Have also requested
report from Secretary Of War as to
just what Army policy is in connec-
ton with overseas service for young
men who have been inducted only
short time prior to shipment. Shall
let you know"
Senator Taft has asked the War
Department for an explanation OF
why men only Is were being sent
into combat with relatively brief
training.
Dead In 2 Months
The Ohio Republican cited the
case of Pfc. Robert R. Pogue OF Gin
cinnati, who was reported killed in
action on the western front about
seven months after his induction.
Taft said Pogue was given only II
weeks training before going over
seas.
Most 18-year-olds, it was said at
the War Department in Washington,
are filtered into infantry units as
requirements for battle casualties.
Under normal circumstances, an
official said, the minimum time be-
tween induction and assignment to
combat is about 26 weeks.

Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechw0od
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of CreomulSion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)

While here, she described the

quarters at a meeting of B'nai
Birth in Tucson, several hundreds
of dollars were subscribed and work
begun with all speed.
