INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
Ceiling Price Injunction Proceed
ings Are Expected Soon


ings Are Expected Soon
The first ceiling price injunction
proceedings against Delaware busi-
ness establishments under Office of
Price Sterilization regulations ex-
pected to be filed in U. S. District
Court in Wilmington this month.
George Gray Thouron, chief of the
trial section for the Delaware OPS,
said that the proceedings will come
as surprise to none of the busi-
ness firms involved. All, he said,
have received repeated warnings to
file required information about
their pricing operations within
specified time limits. The suits,
against certain restaurants, used
car dealers, retail stores, and SER
vice establishments, will be filed by
U. S. District Attorney William
Marvel. Mr.. Thouron, who is a
special assistant U. S. district at
torney for OPS matters, said that
compliance by Delaware concerns
has been good, but since filing OF
price schedules is basic in main
tanning ceiling prices, the agency is
taking legal steps against "wilful
violators." The injunctions, il
granted, will require the closing Of
business establishments until they
comply with the agency's regula
tions.

Let's Haze Letters
on Hobbies

AT THIS TIME of year we read
our magazines quite thoroughly, and
I wish we might have articles and
letters on our hobbies. Surely no one
has more interesting hobbies than
our Montana women.
Being shut in from all the world
without" by today's snow storm,
brought out the quilt blocks for the
heirloom quilt. They are nine inches
square, made crazy quilt style, of
silks, rayons, velvets or fine wooden
pieces. There is a block with blue
plush from my mothers album of
the gay nineties and another from
my husbands mothers hand of mems
ties of the same period. Thirty-six
blocks will be set together with
strips of wine velvet, and there will
be bolster cover of the velvet also.
My hobby of growing of pansy
seeds is probably unique. This be-
gan several years ago because did
not have success with roses. I have
never since missed a year of grow
ing pansies. have had the worlds
four best originators' seeds, and have
begun to develop a really fine hardy
strain of Montana grown seed.
There is SO much to work for in
good pansies that one never loses
interest in them. Great size, good
texture, elegant colors of blue, red,
garnet or purple appear until you
find yourself planning display at

the fair or making lovely corsages or
handsome bouquets for your home,
church or friends
For many seasons l have thought
to grow and sell the plants, but now
I find many people are glad to buy
extra quality Montana grown seed
that gives an abundance of finest
blooms of wonderful shades and COL
,ring. The pansy plant and seed
business has made me so many
friends. hope to continue it as long
as I live.
May we not have many letters on
hobbies? 1 am certain there are
many pleasurable, profitable and de-
sirable projects that have not been
reported but would make ideal read
ing now. Mrs. N. r.. Fergus county.

Readers Replies

For the lady who asked about
homemade noodles: Take 8 un-
beaten eggs, add teaspoon salt,
stir in with folk all the flour pos
sible. You will get a quite solid
mass of dough. Roll out thin. Will
make round of dough about 20
inches across. Then roll up and cut
in narrow strips, add to beef or
chicken broth, cook 20 minutes or
SO without a lid on the kettle. These
are good. Mrs. II. NJ. Broadwater

Stock losses Range
To S. a Share in
Burst Of Selling
BY The Asseeieted Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-The
stock market broke sharply today,
almost without warning. and
prices tumbled by as much as $5
la share.
The rush to sell was so great
the ticker tape fell as much as
'.'-,i'tns behind foo~ transactions,
There was no immediate explana-
ton for the fall.
Selling first became noticeable
in the oil division, and it soon
spread to rails. steels and motors
The widest losses were regis
tered in rails and oils. In the
Isteel and motor sections the drop
was cut off in the $1-$2 area.
Many other areas of the market
remained quiet and steady or sold
loff only few cents to dollar.
Utilities kept an even keel with
prices down only fractionally at
1.-THE worst.
When the fall hit bottom there
were scattered rebounds from the
lowest points with a few cents
shaved from the worst declines.
Lower were Cities Service
STANDARD Oil of New Jersey, Nickel
Plate, Santa Fe. Southern Pacific
Bethlehem Steel. Chrysler, Ana
conda Copper and United States
Gypsum.
Corporate bonds were lower. In
the yer-the-counter market Gov
Iernments were down only slightly
Wall Street brokers said the
sudden break in stock prices in
some areas of the market possibly
was the result of an accumulation
OF adverse news. They saw moth
ing new or dramatic in the eco
nomic or political scene to justify
such rush to sell as was witnessed
this morning.

TO Anne Brett.
School teachers in Honduras
earn more q year than DO ours in
the States, hospitals there are
stated with doctors trained at
John Hopkins and in London.
They are as reasonable to stay in
as hotels.
The Brett's son Jerry who IS
now il the. Air Force. went To
Honduranian schools until he
finished high school. then came
to the States 70 college.
That's the pattern for most
IF the Americas children. They
learn to speak Spanish as wen
as English"
Relations between Honduran-
ians and Americans are more than
cordial now. said the Bretfs. The
big companies encourage their
staffs to get to know the Hondur-
anian people and to mix socially.
We have as many Honduran-
ian friends as Americans. said
