TICKERS NOW CLOSER WITH STOCKSALES Wright Aero Lively With Gain of 13 Points; Radio Higher.

Average Stock Prices

Average Industrials Wednesday, 280.53, off 3.37; rails, 149.03, oft 1.72; bonds, 96.83, off .04. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Fress Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Wa1l Street gave a warm reception today to the new plan of the stock exchange in elimination of sales volume on tickers so that the instruments could keep pace with the market. Principal stocks advanced one to 11 points on the opening in heavy turnover and only a few losses were recorded. Opening prices were printed complete with the total sales for each issue, but after that only prices were on the tickers enabling them to keep abreast of the market and thus keep traders posted on what was going on on the floor. Radio opened at 370, up 11 points, and was in urgent demand at that price. Wright gained four points, Curtiss 2%, Montgomery Ward 3%, and Pan American Petroleum B 2%. General Motors eased fractionally, while United States Steel after an easier opening advanced. There was some selling in the early dealings in isolated issues. Dupont lost 8 points on one transaction, and General Motors declined more than a point. Some of the rails, including Northern Pacific, were under pressure at the start, but they came back with a rush. Westinghouse Electric opened at 135%, off 2%, and then spurteji to 138%, up %. Copper stocks were in demand, featured by Kennecott which rose 2% points to 140%. Anaconda rallied % to 108% and Greene Cananea held steady at 166. Miami also was in demand. Wright Aero soared nearly 13 points to 232%, National Biscuit rose 6% to anew high at 187 and Luquid Carbonic rose 2 points to a new peak at 117%. Victor Talking Machine rose 5% points to 141% on further rumors the company would soon merge with Radio Corporation. Union Carbide, Sears-Roebuck and American Can were in active demand. Motors were steady to firm with the exception of General Motors. Oils were active, featured by Pan-American B. Kansas City Southern led a rise in the rail group.

The rally at the close Wednesday helped restore sentiment. In addition, traders were less fearful about placing commitments, since with the new ticker arangement they could follow the market more carefully. Brokers’ loans and the federal reserve statement due after the close appeared to have little effect in the early dealings, but it was expected that later in the day selling would again crop out on expectation of a large gain in brokerage loans. Excellent results were being obtained by the new system of eliminating sales from the Stock Exchange tickers. In the first fifty minutes Stock Exchange tickers fell back only nine minutes, whereas yesterday they were twenty-four minutes later at 10:30, and twentyseven minutes late at 11 o’clock. Traders were kept posted on the sales volume on the bond tickers, which carried transactions on important stocks at intervals in addition to prices from the floor on about fifty representative issues.

WHEAT IGNORES LIVERPOOL AND WORKSHIGHER Profit-Taking Hits Corn Despite Bullish Reports. By United Brest \ CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Wheat agab. ignored weakness at Liverpool today and worked its way to fractionally. higher levels. Liquidation weakened December corn and the other deliveries followed. Oats were firm. Wheat opened Vs to %c higher. Corn was off Vs to %c, and oats were unchanged to %c up. Provisions were slightly lower. Bearish sentiment in wheat has been declining steadily. December shorts have shown signs of nervousness and the delivery has given indications of tightness. Many shorts have been going into the May delivery. During the last few days, eastern houses and foreign buyers have been conspicuous on the buying side of the market. Com has met with profit-taking despite small receipts, and inclement weather, but the trade generally is bullish. It is believed, however, that a large short interest exists. If unfavorable weather continues to delay harvesting and shipping, December shorts may find themselves in a tight position. The situation in oats is expected to remain unchanged until receipts increase. Chicago Grain Table Prev. WHEAT— High. Low. Close. Close.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson Ss, McKinnon) The professor has been heard from again. In the morning paper we read the report of a speech by an economist at a national conference of a national something or other: “We don’t recall the full title. He says that our prosperity is only a complex which, of course, means that we just think we have it—an imaginary state. We suppose this will surprise a good many of you and you may hesitate about buying the Thanksgiving turkey. We will tell you the man that really has a complex—the one that is always looking for disaster, sees panics ahead of him. However, there is r "' > thing about the stock market 1 t you may think of without being accused of being the victim of a complex. It is the assurance that no market can go on indefinitely in one direction. Breaks are Just as certain and as natural as night follows day. Wednesday we had just a slight reaction, if you take the averages. There was not any particular reason for it other than the one that we mention now and then. It is the logical result of a weakened pyramid. If you want to be sure of substantial profits keep your line moderate.” NEW YORK COFFEE RANGE High. Low. Close.

‘Let the Place Burn — I Can ’t Show My FaceV PH United Press j MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 22.—“ Let the place bum, but don’t try to save me. I’ve got a mud pack on my face and I’d rather die than appear in public this way.” Such was the reply of an unidentified woma nhere Wednesday night when firemen hammered on her door to tell her the apartment was ablaze. One hundred other occupants of the building were not so calm, however, and fought desperately to escape down narrow stairways while great clouds of smoke billowed about them. Three of them were injured. The woman with the mud pack did not have to show herself.

How to Grow Graceful-

Balance Is Grace — Relax Back; Forget Self

This is the third of a series of sis;' articles on “How to Grow Graceful,” written exclusively for NEA service and The Times by .Doris Niles, youngest American dancer to head her own ballet organization. BY DOltis” NILES For NEA Service At Santander, Spain, I have seen girls end women, from 15 to 50, carrying on their heads big baskets of fish. Yet they were able to turn their heads and talk to those about them, meanwhile keeping an absolute balance. Those women, when not carrying their burden, had a perfect poise of body from the top of the head down the spine. All unconsciously they had followed out an important rule of grace. And that rule is: One should feel an imaginary straight line from the top of the head down the spine. Figuratively speaking, one should feel as if her hair were being lifted by an invisible source, keeping the body erect, with the head well set, not hung, between the shoulders. Secret in Carrying Head I have seen women who looked tall and queenly, but who in reality were below medium height. The secret of this was the way they carried their heads, just a trifle thrown back, their bodies erect and their shoulders straight. Os course, there was no stiffness or rigidity in their pose or movements, for that would have made it all artificial and consequently amusing instead of. highly effective, which it was. You will recall that Napoleon, who was so short, took lessons from a great basso, an opera singer, in this very same pose that he might acquire an appearance of greater dignity and height. Forget Self for Grace Grace has no better aid than lack of self-consciousness. Os course a dancer in the bollroom thinks of the sheer joy of it to the rhythm of enchanting music, while the professional dancer, absorbed in her art and lost to all else in the world, thinks only of what she is doing in the moment. In both cases lack of self-con-sciousness is paramout and the graceful girl is at her best. But there are other moments when no such absolute self-forget-fulness and consequent lack of selfconsciousness completely reign—for Instance, in entering a crowded ballroom or reception. To give way* to any feeling of timidity or embarrassment in such a situation means to lose a good share of the element of charm. There is a remedy for this, and it is a good one—to be interested in what we are doing at that particular moment and to the exclusion of all else. It is the kind of interest we feel in our dancing that makes us forget ourselves; it is the interest that we feel in doing things in public or in society that brings a self-forget-fulness allowing all the grace that we have in us to take good care of itself.
