The Washington times., 1904-02-09

The money market is extremely easy.
Therefore very little real pressure can
be exerted upen people to sell stocks.
Very many sAcurities have now de-
clined i'm price from 10 9 points with
out a reaction of ! point. The cautious
speculator for the fall usually is very
glad to take the rich profits that come
TO him on such rare occasions without
expecting any further Increase in them.
and the equally acute buyer of stocks
knows that in nine cases out of ZEN
purchases of stocks at such times re-
suit in profit.
II might be we'll to consider how
much the loss OF Baltimore lessons the
values of properties in not even remote
relation with Baltimore. 1t is as true Of
Baltimore's loss as of the waste OF for
eign war-it does not diminish the earn
ing capacity of our men. mills, or rail-
ways. II does not diminish the crops,
nor reduce freights. but rather the con-
trary. With the shock comes also
stimulus. The market viii be reused
from its lethargy, and instead OF
simulacrum of business there viii be
real trading by owners Of stocks, and
doubtless by would-be owners.
The time has very clearly arrived
when the prudent investor or Spectator
must view with as much conservatism
and suspicion the heated arguments now
addressed to him either by professed
bears or by nervous and half-scared
holders Of securities as reasons for sell
ing stocks as he did the reckless en-
thusiasm for higher prices of the same
people a few short weeks ago InVart-
ably heretofore the course of financial
markets has shown that the effect Of
an outbreak Of war exercises the great
est share of it's unfavorable influence
on security prices either before the
event takes place or Immediately fol-
lowing the occurrence.

SCHOOL DRESS RIVALRY.

Omaha Seniors Divided on Question
OF Uniform Graduating Garb.
Glass uniform for the graduates of
the Omaha .(Neb.) High school is
question that is agitating the seniors
of 1904, says the Omaha World-Herald.
In this idea the young men and young
women who compose the class have an
opportunity that they may we'll i'm
prove. There are 1S5 pupils in the
graduating class this year, and every
girl and perhaps every boy is now con-
sidering the question of clothes for
that important occasion. Some belong
to families Of luxury and wealth, while
others, just as bright and intelligent as
the rest, belong to families where the
appropriation for clothing is just as
small as. necessity will permit.
Instances of the sacrifices Of mem.
bers Of families that the daughter
might be attired in Il beautiful gown
on commencement day have been often
cited to show the folly of dress rivalry
on such an occasion. That the young
man and young woman have success
Iully met lue requirements VI 'ho
schools of Omaha, have climbed to the
top through the various grades, have,
by their conscientious efforts become
entitled to the possession of the d.
ploma-these are the real triumphs OF
the high school senior. That the pres
entatlon of these diplomas should be
accompanied by rivalry in dress pa.
rade for the eXultation Of some, and
perhaps the humiliation of others, is
not in harmony with the high school
commencement idea.
Principal Waterhouse and the mem
bers of the class of 1904 who favol
the adoption of uniform dress fol
commencement are eminently correct
and it is to be hoped that the effor

ices tightly draped over a fitted lining
are decidedly Louis XIV, and the same
can be said of the front panel, which
may be seen in many prints of the pc
Rod carried out in an entirely different
material from the gown. The twisted
and knotted ribbons also belong to this
Same period.
= Yelling is by long odds the most pop
ular spring and summer fabric. Every
conceivable shade is used, from white
to deep plum. The delicate cadet blue
is especially smart when combined
with green. A great deal of wolfe is
ALSO being made up into blouse tailor
Imades. The skirts are much shirred
over tight fitting foundation.
There is just now a craze for a Pc
culiar tint of green, and this is espe-
cially chic made up over white silk,
which gives Il changeabe effect.
Now it is for both the face and hat
veil to be en- suite and they must in
addition harmonic with the dress and
hat with which they are worn. The

others from pale cream to rich
orange.

President of Chicago University
Says Men Ought to Finish Course
Has No Patience With Students
Who Do Not Plan For Life Work
While Pursuing Undergraduate
Studies.
Get out and hustle" is the advice of
President William II. Harper of Chi
caso university to college men who
have reached the proper age, says the
Chicago Tribune Addressing the
senior class the other day, he said:
"At the age of twenty-five young
man should be thinking about getting
into his life work. Under the present
educational advantages student
should be able to finish his college
studies when he is around twenty. He
then can spend year in business,
where he will gain much by coming in
contact with the business world, and
later can take up and finish his pro-
fessional work or graduate work by
the time he is twenty-five years old.
II have advised twenty men during
the last year to quit the university and
to go to work. Some students get into
the habit of going to school and con-
tinue going, waiting for a job to be
given them. College is not business,
but place to prepare for business"
President Harper declared he had no
patience with the student who does not
plan for life work as he pursues his
undergraduate studies. He said that
some of the most successful business
men who have been graduated from
the University of Chicago began their
business career before they had fin
ished their collegiate work. They fin
ished their college work, but not until
after they had spent a year in bust
ness.
"The demands of the times are great
today" continued DR.. Harper. THE

must meet powerful competition. he
must then be we'll prepared. The col

the preparatory education of a few
years ago. The time has come when
graduate work is necessary. But the
educational advantages are such that
a young man can get the graduate oil

life's work as young as when he fin
ished his college work when l took VI
my college course.

Of this work i'm the west. For that rea
son the report has gone forth that thu
university is primarily a graduate
school This is mistake. The under
graduate department is just as impor
tant. These colleges will be developed
side by side.'
Members of the senior class hav
been invited by President Harper t
ask him questions pertaining to TIL
university and It's work. These tn
president answers at his Tuesda
meetings with the class.
