Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am 16 wears old
and am on the verge of running
away from home because 1 cannot
get along with my parents. I am
good student and make fine marks
at school. My trouble is that nv
parents are old-fashioned and have
little education. and I am always
In an argument with my mother
about everything.
For instance, my mother is very
pro- and when we discuss
politics and tell her how ignorant
she Is and that my teacher saws
things are not like she says they
are, she gets SO angry that I get a
spanking with a strap.
l am so worn out and nervous
with all the quarreling that I don't
know what to do. What is your ad-
vice?
DISTRESSED SIXTEEN.
Answer-Don't think of such a
thing as running away from home,
for if you do, you will find out that
unpleasant as things may be there,
they will be far worse when you
lack the security of having shelter
at night, food to eat. clothes to wear
and some one to protect you. A
pretty girl of Is, alone in the world.

creature alive, and if the wolves

Steel Books Scanned
By WPB 10 Stop
Duplicate Orders
ny the Associated Press.

by the AsSOciateu fIeSS.
CLEVELAND, July 9.-The War
Production Board has asked pro-
ducers to report principal orders on
their books so that duplicate con-
tracts can be detected, the magazine
Steel said today.
"It has been apparent for some
time that makers of civilian prod
ucts have placed orders for the
same steel with several mills, in
the hope that they may obtain a
place on rolling schedules" reported
the trade journal. This has OBJ
scured the real situation and may
have inflated backlogs materially.
The WPB hopes this action may
make it possible to eliminate some
Implications and give a truer pic
ture of essential demand"
Meanwhile Washington Is exerting
heavy pressure on consumers who
have received cutbacks, to cancel re-
leased tonnage, observed Steel.
This is especially the case in
sheets, which are in strong spot
demand for drums and containers
and other military needs, in addi-
ton to rated and unrated civilian
programs scheduled for third and
fourth quarter" said Steel.
ITO some extent bars are in a
similar position. 1t is also reported
that consideration is being given to
revocation of direction 10, regulation
l, which permits manufacturers of
civilian goods to divert tonnages re-
leased by military cutbacks to civil
ian requirements of like character.
At present, such diversion is subject
TO WPB approval"
Steelmaking operations last week
dropped 31a points to 8Sh per cent,
due largely to strikes and holiday.

New S-Year Peak
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, July 9.-American
Telephone, with jump Of more
than five poi nts to q new eight
yyear peak, led a further selective
recovery push in today's stock mar
ket, although laggards still were
plentiful.
The principal fly in the come
back ointment was the lightness Of
dealings in virtually all depart
ments. The ticker tape loafed from
the start. Transfers of around
100000 shares were among the
smallest for a full stretch in the
past several months. Advances
predominated near the close.
The search of idle funds for in
come persisted as the main buying
incentive. Doubters were numer-
Gus. however, because of the belief
further steps to curb speculation
would be taken by Washington and
the thought that Forthcoming cut
backs might yet have to be dis
counted.
The market was unusually thin. !"
Sears Roebuck, for instance, ran up
a point or so between sales. It
climbed five at the best.
Improvement was recorded for
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
United States Steel Chrysler, Mont
gomery Ward. Electric Power g.
Light, Boeing, Sperry, Eastman Ko-
dak and Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey. Intermittent stumbles were
suffered by United States Rubber,

Probe Of

BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 81. A. Higgons,
jr., executive vice president Of the
National Association of Commodity
Exchanges and Allied Trades. Inc,
asked yesterday for full inyestiga-
ton "by an impartial congressional
committee of charge that Gov
ernment members may have been
involved in manipulation OF the
rye futures market on the Chicago
Board of Trade.
Mr.. Higgons, In a statement, said
unless the charge were investigated
there was grave danger" it would
be used to build up further resent
ment against the mechanism of fu-
lures exchanges"
Last Tuesday, Representative
Keefe Republican, of wisconsin,
in Washington told the House "a
national scandal existed concern
ing "manipulations in the rye mar
ket on the Chicago Board of Trade" /"
Cites Role of Markets.
Next day, Mr.. Keefe predicted
several Washington officials. includ-
ing some members of Congress,
would be implicated. Mr.. Keefe
also said as result of the alleged
manipulations rye prices were
much higher" than those for wheat
and corn, although the food value
of the latter two is much higher"
Mr.. Higgons' statement added,

p,

"the future markets are not on trial
In this controversy. They play an
important role in the marketing of
raw materials under the free enter
prise system. From time to time
attempts have been made to indict
futures markets publicly as gam
bling places whose activities do not
benefit farmer or consumer.
Opportunity for Defense.
Accusations such as made by
Representative Keefe will feed these
misconceptions and prejudices
against futures markets unless these
markets are given full opportunity
to defend themselves publicly when
ever such charges are made"
He added that the alleged "col-
lusion" in the formulation of the
Administrators rye program could
have been worked without any oper-
alton in the rye futures market.
Actually there is evidence that
the large trading volume in the
futures market served to smooth out
rather than accentuate daily price
movements the statement said.
