Rubber futures were quoted at .19 of a cent a pound to .38 of a cent higher, touching the 20 cents a a mark. Export copper was sold at 11.17% cents a pound, .05 of a cent higher, and .17% of a cent above the domestic level. Zinc for the second quarter, 1937, delivery was quoted at 5.45 cents a pound at East 8t. Louis, & premium of .10 of a cent above the spot price and the best in several years.

CHRISTMAS MEANS LITTLE 10 TINY TOT Stares Unseeingly at Doll Plac- ed in Her Arms, Limp From Coma Erie, Dec. 17—(P)—A Bay Santa Claus doll meant nothing to 3-year-old Maxine Yarrington Thurs- day—nor did the excitement in a chil- dren’s ward of a hospital as nurses prepared a Christmas tree. Little Maxine’s big brown eyes stared straight ahead—she is asleep, has been sleeping for 15 months with her eyes wide-open. Nurses made the little Santa Claus doll gleefully holding out its arms for a baby's embrace, They held it before Maxine but her eyes didnt change. Physicians and nurses agreed that Christmas will be “just another day fo: her.” They have little hope that Maxine ever will recover from the coma which has baffled them since Sept. 24, 1935. Maxine has been a favorite of nur- ses since her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Yarrington of Fairview, brought her to the hospital.
