"A more general appreciation of the unique

offset the shrinkage in other items. A
large number of traffic returns for the

activity in the stock market and also by
reason of the very heavy renewals AID

Babcock, Chairman of the Committee on
the District of Columbia, called up the
Senate bill providing for the use of type

of the writing will cause saving of 50

Report.

The annual report of the Librarian of

In conclusion, Mr.. Young says:
With the considerate care Of Congress
and a due appreciation of what has been
done and what as readily may be done
through the support of the American peo-
pie, there is no reason why the Library
of Congress should not soon rival those
splendid libraries over the sea, whose

with the idea that the rise was to con-
tinue. The difference between the high
and the low was nearly four points, and
the close was 2as below the opening. The
borrowing demand has weakened. and the
fact that the stock is to carry its divi-
dend until Thursday could not stem the
bearish sentiment developed whenever
this Is the case.
General Electric had one of the largest
rises of the day. The opening and lowest
price was s95s and the close at the highest
was 81. The advance was at the rate of
half point at time on one or two oc-
casions. The story which started the
movement Is to the effect that dividend
will be declared on the common stock in
February. There is much interest in the
affairs of this company. and 1t Is un-
doubtedy true that the present business

as might make even the coolest OF market

Rev. M. L. Berger spoke on the
subject of loyalty in general and
association loyalty in particular.
He defined loyalty as devotion to
duty, the standing bravely of
man in his place no matter what
might betide. To be loyal one
should be true to engagements, to
promises, covenants and oaths.
70 be disloyal was to be false and
traitor. No matter what position
man might hold, even though it
be the most humble, he should
work heartily and with a loyalty
and determination to do his very
best. A rich reward would surely
be his if he followed this. Mr..
Berger spoke of the Y. M. G. A.
and urged the young men to be
loyal to all that concerned that
organization. They should resolve
to be manly, unselfish, noble, loyal
and to live the high life here put
within their reach.
The meeting closed with song
and then the benediction by Rev.
7. ID. Garvin.
