Wall Streeters See Trend for
Stock Market To Move Upward
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
New York - IUPD - Despite
the current hesitancy in the
business and economic back
ground the
consensus on
on Wall street
is for the
stock market
to move out
of Its sum
doldrums and
trend upward.
The experts
are divided
Henry Btchtold as to when
this breakthrough will occur,
but they agree that it will
happen as soon as domestic
business activities perk up.
The market currently is un
dergoing one of Its best re
coveries of the year, but a
sharp pickup in volume has
been lacking, giving the move
ment the tag of another "tech
nical adjustment" following
the July dip. ; ,
The Fitch survey sees the
list continuing In a stabilizing
area the next several weeks,
consolidating its position, and
less apt to break out sharply
one way or the other.
However, the publication
notes that while the market
is marking time, special situa
tions either in trade groups,
illustrated in the more active
demand for oils, coppers and
steels, or individual issues fa
vored by improved corporate
earnings - reports on those
which have attracted a spec
ulative following, will con
tinue to outperform the aver
ages. Other Hopsful Signs
Other Wall Streeters say
the market will receive some
stimulation from a more than
seasonal gain in steel activity,
a seasonal upturn in auto out
put, a slight rise in residential
volume and a small increase
in building and construction
activity generally.
, The International Statisti
cal bureau sees the list also
getting a lift from increased
government spending, while
the Investors Advisory Insti
tude looks for the Federal
Reserve's switching from a
policy of neutrality to one of
more active credit-ease to fuel
a rise in stock prices.
Another favorable factor is
that the business world has
passed the period of least fa
vorable earnings comparisons
with a year ago, which was
recorded ia the second quar
ter.
Fitch believes that the list's

will hold a special meeting
Friday, Aug. 26, at 7 p.m. to

Edward McGinty, Demo
cratic candidate for county
surveyor, spoke to the group
at a monthly meeting in the
Labor temple Aug. 17, He
stressed the importance of the
forthcoming election.
McGinty declared that the
surveyor position has been
dominated by one man for al
most a third of a century." He
pointed out work that should
be done by such organiza
tions as the YLKJ, and saia
that he was "very pleased
with the active roll that young
people are now taking in poll
tics."

the Dow Jones Industrial Av
erage, from breaking below
its resistance level around
600, also should have a salu
tary influence on investor
confidence.
Disturbing Symptoms
Meanwhile, Fitch also
points out that there are fac
tors in the business and eco
nomic outlook that still are
disturbing and could act as
a brake on the stock market's
anticipated better progress in
the fall, unless corrected.
Among these, Fitch men
tions lagging steel production,
currently around 55 per cent
of capacity, and its concom-
mittant creeping unemploy
ment in the industry.
"While this may be over
come shortly as business re
vives, it has served to spread
a pessimistic approach among
lower income groups as far
as consumer buying is con
cerned," Fitch stated.
This, it adds, is a second
factor which may react un
favorably over the balance of
the year and in turn carry
overtones into the stock mar
ket. There presently appears to
be a sharp cutback of antici
pated consumer purchases of
durable goods, with the ex
ception of new cars. Consum
er spending sagged a bit in
July to a three month low.
But the few weak spots in
the business and economic
pictures are expected to be
more than offset by a strong
er revival in many important
fields of activity over the bal
ance of the year.

Body Fluids of
Insects are Green
The blood of insects is not
red, and they certainly are not
blue-bloods." Their blood or
body fluids are green or yel
lowish green in color.
If you think about it you
will understand why the
creature's body fluids are
green instead of red. It's the
same coloring material- that
causes a living plant to be
green. This coloring dye is
taken into the insect's body
as part of its food, for it is fed
on green leaves and Nature
placed a great amount of that
green material in the leaves
and stems of the plant; chloro
phyll, we call it.
Lavish Use of Green
Nature is pretty lavish in
her use of the color green. It
is the predominant color of
the outdoors, and all plants
that grow in the sunlight have
it. In the living, growing
plant, chorophyll is associated
with the production of carbo
hydrates. Even with those
plants receiving their full
share of sunlight, the upper
side of each leaf is greenest.
The lower, or under surface,
receives a little less light, and
is therefore somewhat less
green.
f!hlnrnnhv11 in snite of its
general use today for purposes
other tnan coloring a leai
green, is not completely
imrtarctnnrf W( sav it is a
glandular pigment, contained
in living ieat cens, ano
brought out by the sun. The
leaves of a plant growing in
the dark contain very little
chlorophyll. Mushrooms and
manv members of the fungi
family contain practically
none.
The manufacture of this
nrpATi rnlorinff material bv
plants is a complicated pro
cess involving tne mgestion or
plant-food, and dependent on
many different actions and
forces, such as moisture, tem
npraturfi amount of iizht. soil
conditions and climate in gen
eral. Carbon dioxide absorbed
from the air through the pores
of the leaves combines with
starch and sugar, as well as
water from the roots, to fur
nish nourishment for the
plant. Each leaf on a tree is
waUv a linv fartorv in itself.
working and contributing its
tiny bit to the welfare of the
entire plant, .
Silent, Efficient
This has been ' going ' on
since the - first green plant
pokedits timid head above
the earth. It is a silent and ef
ficient process. Men can never
approach it in complexity or
usefulness. So he said to him
self, "If chlorophyll can do so
much for a plant, why can t It
be useful in other ways?"
This so-c ailed mysterius
substance, chlorophyll, has
been introduced into chewing
gum with the idea of taking
the chewer's breath away"
and benefitting him greatly,
provided he has been eating
or .drinking something that
scents the breath. The green
"stuff has been added ! to
toothpaste to accomplish the
same purpose. This too is sup
posed to leave the breath as ;
fresh as a dewy morning.
Chlorophyll has been used
as an ointment and as a food
dye, as well as having many
other uses. The insects use it
to be very different. They
color their body juices with it.
It must be very valuable. It
must have purposes we have
so far not explored.
