Ding, dong bell, Market gone to hell! Who put her there? Little Tommy Bear! Who'll geeva pull? Little Johnny Bull! What a naughty little pup To eat the paper profits up. Contributor Funk was obviously a man of substance, conscious of the stockmarket. His subsequent contributions would have revealed him, to any between-lines-reader, as: a fatalist; a hedonist conscious of women, tobacco, liquor; a bad golfer; a married man whose thoughts sometimes stray afield; a middle-aged married man whose thoughts always return homeward.

Best shot : Miss Baclanova biting...
Ticker. Of the $29,000,000, about one-seventh will go to provide bankers, brokers, speculators, with the fastest stockmarket service in the world. Woefully laggard were the ticker reports of the late great "Hoover Market" (TIME, Nov. 29, et seq.). New tickers, now being installed, will print 500, instead of 300, characters per minute...
