OPENING PRICES HIGHER.
Better Feeling Apparent on the Stock
EXCHANGE,

New York, July 2~9.-Although open
ing prices of many stocks were higher
than at the previous days close the
market showed a hesitating tone in the
early dealings. Nevertheless there
was more good buying of the high
priced railway shares, though in mod
crate amounts.
A few of the high grade industrials
exhibited marked firmness. Sentiment
was increasingly cheerful. The abb
of any more failure announce
ments in the first half hour helped to
create a better feeling. Short cover
ings were again extensive. Prices
yielded later on, partly as a result of
realizing.
In the carly afternoon, when pres
sure against Atchison was manifested,
the list sagged. There was a more or
less general recovery. until the last
hour when a combination of rumors,
including impending trouble in Lon
don, further hot waves In the corr belt
and realizing sales, gave the market
another setback.
The closing was irregular and for
the most part the days gains were
wiped out. One of the encouraging
features OF the day was the greater
ease for long time money. The rate
for six monthsl went off from 6 per
cent TO 5.S8 per, cent, and in some. in
stances long time loans at 0Ls per cent
were reported.

Rockefeller and the Buncs.

In former years John D. Rockefel-
Ier's supervision of Standard Oil com
pany affairs took in ever the smallest
detail. On n occasion, according to
Ida NJ. Tarbell in McClure's, COM
menting on a monthly statement, he
called a refner's attention to a dis
crepancy in regard to bungs, articles
worth about as much in Il refinery as
pins are in a household. Last month"
he said to the subordinate official con-
cerned, you reported on hand Lilo
bungs. Ten thousand were sent you
ut the beginning of This month. You
have used 1927 this month. You re-
port 1,O12 on hand. What has become
of the other 5S9?" Apparently Mr..
Rockefeller's idea was: Take care of
the bungs and the barrels will take
care of themselves.

Defender.

Newport, R. l., July 29.-With the Sc

of the Americas cup against the Sham

boats off this port is practically fin

Commodore Bourne of the New York

New York. July 29.-While still
YER to placing their opinions on

terests of this city practically agree
that events of the past fortnight have
done much to clear the atmosphere.
A few express further apprehension as
t0.the STOCK markets action and there

A. Barton Hepburn, former comptroi-

respondents scattered all over the:

THE country has undergone a gen

conditions to promote a great many
securities at greatly inflated values.
That has been the experience of a
great many people in the last three or
four years. ....
1--WE have gone too far and too fast.
We have beer doing too much business
for our capital. Al hardening process,
which subjected securities to a Level
that would determine their proper
value, was bound to ensue and is now
in progress throughout the country.

are so muniicent that it will be i'm
possible to produce anything like a

Isaac N. Seligman of J. & w. Selig-
nan & Co. said: ,
The recent severe liquidation has
impaired q feeling OF safety and Sc
curly. not only among the careful
banking interests but with the pru-
dent and sensible public. Conditions
which brought about the liquidation
did not result from any fear Of tight
money, but simply from Uverspecula-
ton. The feeling of hopelessness that
prevailed until a few days ago has
been dispel!ed and investment orders
for high class securities are coming
in. Fully $4,000, 900 to $40, 900, 900 OF
capital has been sent here
for investment within the past week.
The ruling rates for long time money
indicate, in my judgment. that a
money stringency in the fall is most
l can say definitely, by
way of assurance, that in case there
should be any squeeze during the next
two months the treasury department
offer prompt relief to legitimate
financial interests"

The question Of which foot to At
FIRST is an important one to us" said the
shoe salesman. 1T may seem strange tc
you, but it Is rarely that we do not ex.
perience some trouble in fitting one
foot while the other is easily covered.
a popular belief obtains that the left
foot Of every person is the hardest to
fit. and consequently many shoe clerks
always try a shoe on that foot first. II
is not true, however, according to my
observation. that there is any infiexibie
:'!le as to which foot to try first. 1t Is
lrae. nevertheless, that in a majority
If cases if you succeed in fitting the left
foot you will have no trouble with the
right. My practice is to try both feet
before l pronounce a pair of shoes a
perfect fit. Then l am sure of avoiding
any mistake growing out of peculiar
tiles of foot formation. No two per
sons have feet formed exactly alike,
and the shoe salesman who thinks so
and is governed accordingly will meet
with many complaints. 49,
For some time 1 pondered V the
problem of fitting shoes to feet. and es-
Necially as to why the left foot should
be considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only rational the
Dry l have ever been able to evolve Is
a very simple bhe when you ,come.,to
consider it, Nine out of ten person:
YOU meet are right handed. as o, say.
About one person in ten, or perhaps .tl2
ncr cent is even less than that. uses hiA
left hand If you, will observe persons
who use the right hand when they arc
standing and talking they invariably
rest their weight on the left foot. And.
vice versa. a left handed person will
rest his or her weight on the right foot.
The result is that with right handed
persons the left foot is probably a frac-
ton larger than the right foot, and the
shoe clerk must inevitably find this to
be a fact sooner or later."-New Or

+ Binghampton, N. Y, July ga de-
cision has been handed down by Judge
Ray in the United States circuit court

M of the principal stockholders of
the Bay State Gas company of Della

Mercantile Trust company of New

of Delaware to set aside an agreement
between the defendants and others,
through whxh, it is alleged; capital
stock of the Bay State Gas company Of
Massachusetts was illegally trans
ferred by mistake to the Mercantile
Trust company of New York instead
of to the Bay State Gas company Of
Delaware. zs .
From a clerical error the action has
grown into an intricate piece of liti-
cation. A demurrer to the complaint
was filed by The Mercantile Trust COM
pany and this is upheld.

ROMANCE IN VARIED GUlSE.
Definition of the Word Is Susceptible
of Wide liberalization.

Of Wide Diversifcation.
What is romance? Even the colo
quail use of the term is varied. When
we say you are ~romancing' or call
anything romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery. And in this applica-
ton we must distinguish between the
effect upOn us Of that which we call
romantic because of human ~associa-
items with certain sights or sounds and
HAT WiidnesS of nature which we call
romantic because Of its absolute dis
"ociation from anything human.
Keeping out of mind the use of the
word in artistic and literary criticism,
let us try to find what element Of
reeOncilement there is in the diversities
Of colloQuial usage.
In all that is generally called ro-
mantle in the cases above mentioned
there is the common element Of
strangeness. We easily revert to what
must have been the original sense of
the word in it's connection with those
medieval notifications of the Latin
tongue known as the romance Ian
guages. The Saxon or Celt would
have found his native tongue sufficient
for all ordinary needs, but if he
caught the Roman air in any way, by
travel or refinement of taste and habit.
he would, to meet the newly developed
need, borrow the graces Of the Roman
speech-that is, he would romance

In the Outlook Fairy Book, announced for early publication by the Outlook eom- pany, It is said that an attempt has been made to make a judicious combination of the heritage of every Engllsh-speaking child, with tales from French, German, Italian and Spanish sources which have never before appeared in English. This collection seeks to avoid the sad and re- pulslve pictures presented in some of the old wonder-tales. and keeps the romantic clement dominant in the book The many illustrations are by an artist who is par ticularly successful in appealing to the imagination of children.
 Dr. W. s. RaInsfords book. which is announced for early publication by the Outlook company, is to be called "A Preachers Story of His Work" Dr. Rainsford begins with his childhood in Dundalk on the picturesque east coast of Ireland; he tells of his school days, his experiences in East London; his unlver- sity life at Cambridge; of his encounter as a young curate first with the rough population of decadent town. and then with the doubts that nearly drove him from his work; of his coming to Ameri- ca; of his experiences as a missioner; of his life in Toronto and the spiritual rev. olution through which he went there; and finally of the ways by which he transformed St. GeAges, New York. from a dying family parish into the pres ent active and powerful church, that is serving rich and poor as few churches have ever done. pr. Rainsford tells the secret of his success by showing, in nar- rative and in incident, the principle that has guided his life.
