NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE |socks
Stocks Fail 10 Hold
Sharp Early Gains;
Trading Is Soaring
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The
stock market bounced up today
from yesterdays fall. The re-
bound carried prices in key areas
up between / and 2 points with
some gaining nearly 4 points,
but that high level failed to
hold. Most gains settled to mod
crate fractions with only a hand
full of leading stocks up a point
or better.
The severely depressed level
of prices at yesterdays close
brought in a flood of buying or
ders at the opening today.
Prices mounted rapidly and
trading expanded until the tick
er tape was unable to keep pace
with actual floor transactions.
Ten minutes after the start the
tape was 2 minutes late. The
congestion didn't clear for an
other Is minutes.
The first hour piled up a VOL
ume of 71,000 shares. The rate
slowed in the second hour but
the pace was geared to a posi-
BILE 3 million-Share day.
The railroads, steels, motors
and oils were we'll out in front
of the initial upward push with
a lot of help from other areas.
Despite the minus signs that
f1ecked the list. no single major
division was lower on balance.
Higher stocks included South
ern Railway, Illinois Central.
Sinclair Oil, Kennecott Copper,
Du Pont, American Woolen,
United States Steel, Chrysler,

Corporate bonds were lower.

Suggests Use of
Sweet Potuto, Yurns
For Animul Feed

Stanley Martin of the Pyles
Industries of Detroit, Michi-
gan, discussed the possibility
of developing the sweet pota-
to or yam industry for use as
cattle feed with members of
the Chamber of Commerce
when he visited here recently.
For the benefit of those who
made inquiries, the following
information was taken from
the newsletter of the Chamber
of Commerce: Mr.. Martin adj
vised of "the high food value
of yams and with a mixture of
blackstrap or molasses would
give an equal value to corn for
livestock feeding. Vans or
sweet potatoes are native to
this Island and grow readily.
They can be ground in a ham
mermill and air or sun dried
in a few hours. He clearly
showed how with a few hun
dred dollars that a low price
h~ammermill and mechanical
potato digger could make the
raising of these tubers a low
labor cost production as well
as low labor requirement, yet
give to St. Croix the cheapest
type of feed to improve the
quality of our cattle, especial
ly the grade of meat when
shipped outside of the Island.
Mr.. Martin, the newsletter
said, offered a cash market for
the meal which if in sufficient
quantity would be of great as
sistance to our economy, but

PIGMY RATTLESNAKE

If you visit South Carolina,
Georgia or Florida, this winter
and poach on the territory OF
Pigmy RattleSnakes, listen for
their warning. Natives call them
Ground Rattle snakes" This
names seems inappropriate, since
all rattlesnakes live on the
ground.
Pigmy snakes. as you surmise,
are small in comparison with
the regular rattlers. There are
two species and two varieties in
,he United States. In the woods
YOU hear the faint rattle pro-
duced by the pigmy. It reSem-
oleS the unmiStakeable sound of
the large rattle. but it is given
when there is no apparent reason
or the signal. The bite of this
tiny rattlesnake is rarely fatal.
According to the popular but
incorrect story, the rattlesnake
acquires q new ring or joint every
year and one can count the but

tons to ascertain the noise max
er's age.
The truth is, the snake acquires
from two to three rings OF the
rattle each year. But the rattle
rarely attains a length Of more
than 10 or II rings.
At birth the young rattleSnake
is provided with a soft button on
the tip of his tail, which cannot
produce a sound. Within a few
days after birth, the natal skin
is shed and thereafter the reptile
takes food. The youngster grows
rapidly and when two months old
sheds it's second skin. This time
the first ring to the rattle ap-
pears and the effort to make a
noise is rewarded by a small
sound. Constant raSping wears
away the segment and the black
button becomes straw colored.
BY this time the pigmy has q

The bidding:
South West North East
lspade Pass 4 spades All pass
Now, when your right-hand
opponent deals and makes a
startling and out-of the ordinary
opening-five diamonds for ex-
ample-you are entitled to take
a little time to decide what to
do. However, there was no reason
for Mr.. Sharp to be taken off
guard by the actual one spade
opening. Most hands are opened
with one of a suit. He knew he
had no bid and he should have
passed promptly.
After his slow pass, every one
at the table knew he had fair
hand-almoSt enough to enter
the bidding, vulnerable. Mr..
Rank was not entitled to have
this vulnerable information.
OF course Mr.. Masters noticed
Mr.. Sharp's Invitation" to his
partner to get into the bidding
and he made that as difficult
as possible by going straight to
four spades. There was nothing
unethical in Mr.. Masters taking
advantage of Mr.. Sharp's heSi-
tation-although he did so at
his own peril.
Obviously Mr.. Rank did not
have nearly enough to come
into the bidding at this point.
However, he knew Cllegally) that
his partner had some strength
and he too thought a long time
before passing. 1t would have
been highly unethical for him
to bid here. In fact, taking ad-
vantage of partners slow pass
is worse than making the slow
pass.
Against the final contract of
four spades. Mr.. Sharp led the
ace of clubs. And again Mr..
Rank went into a long huddle.
He thought the best defense was
to continue with clubs but he
couldn't spare the queen as a
come-on, owing to dummy'S
holding in the suit.
After lingering first one card,
then another, he finally raped
the trey on the table-with
b. emphasis. Mr.. Sharp could
hardly fail to get the message
and he led a second club. With
fine justice, this turned out to
be the lead Mr.. Dale wanted.
He ruffed, knocked out the ace
of hearts and later discarded
dummy's losing diamond on his
set up hearts. Thus he lost just
a spade, a club and a heart.

Mrs. Darnell, besides pitching
right in to aid her husband In
putting out the paper, was known
here as the angel Of Mercy" In
connection with her work in aid

what was known as the Empty
Stocking Fund. which cared for,
over the years, some 5000 chill
dren.
One Of the largest projects Of
the fund was aiding some 500 Gu.
bans who were stranded here en-.
route to Cuba. Using the paper %
drum up interest. Mrs. Darnell
collected funds, obtained food don.
| atoms and ended up feeding the
refugees in the yard Of her home.

when her husband. an army man
was attached to the Ninth Artillery
Band. Then, after Mr.. Darneil

West Postmaster, in which post be
served for eight years.
They decided Ia buy The Citi.
