week by Neill Scott, head of a To-

famous beauties against the beau

failure to employ Negro models.

and are given the respect and po-
sition which they deserve"
BLOCKED FROM PROFESSION

beauties don't fare so WELL" He
referred to racial prejudice barring
them from making a living at the
profession of modelling clothes and
other articles that their beauty

Stock Market Stages
.SeIective Advance
After Weeks Drop
By VICTOR EUBANK,

-
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-After five
successive sessions without an aver
age plus sign, the stock market to-
day managed to conclude generally
losing week with selective advance
although many leaders were unable
to participate.
Narrow irregularity persisted from
the start in the slow dealings. Prices
hardened here and there in the final
few minutes, but closing gains, on
the whole, were limited to minor
fractions. Transfers totaled $50 600
shares, compared with 560,0O0 last
Saturday, and were the smallest
since September %.
Depressed by Strikes.
AS throughout the week, spread
ing strikes provided a bearish in
fluence during the two-hour proceed
ings, but some short covering and
timid bidding apparently was in
spired by the belief that the list
was in shape for at least tech
nical comeback. Numerous Gus
toners, however, held aloof to await
developments on the labor front.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up 3 of a point at
749, its first upturn since December
%, but on the week was off 4. OF
782 issues appearing. 378 rose, 223
declined and 181 were unchanged.
Among wider jumpers were Sham-
rock Oil, the days liveliest sprinter,
up 27s at a new high; Schenley, up
3ai, and American Woolen, up 37s.
The last-named was aided by action
of the OPA in exempting certain
fabrics from the maximum average
price order as it applies to textiles.

Wilson g. Co. added y at 17% in
the wake of the first dividend since

Meanwhile, the trained nurse, COM

tobacco in the old mans pipe. STEM

wind. The stranger left the shelter
of the low adobe and walked swiftly
over to the trees. On the turf his
footsteps made no sound. The pa
