To Hep With the
Darning

4 NEW device has been invented
~ which aids the careful housewife
at her weekly work Of stocking
darning. A woman with a large fam
fly receives such little helps with great
thanksgiving. for perhaps there Is no
more annoying task in all the world
than the darning Of many pairs OF d.
lapidated hosiery.
The new device is half a papier-
mache egg followed out and fitted
with a nickel cover. so that II serves
to hold the darning cotton. needles
and thlmble-in fact. all the imple-
ments that 1t takes for darning.
Around the egg Is a wire frame at

the stocking slipped over the egg. the
wire then placed again over this. so
that the stocking is held absolutely
nrm. and the darning may be done
with the greatest of ease.
At a glance 1t may be seen what a
great help this would be to the house
wife. and the introduction OF the nov
city is sure to be heralded by her with
delight

COLLAPSE IN WALL STREET

New York, May 23.-Prices OF stocks col
lapssd with great violence during today S
short session of the market. The out
pouring of stocks was heavy in some
quarters, but~the striking feature of the
proceedings was the disappearance of all
trace OF the fostering measures of sup
port which have been present through all
stages OF the preceding advance in prices
and through the period OF digestion of
profits which has been going on this
week There were mixed opinions in Wall
street TO the motives for this sudden
change or policy in the conduct of mar
ket operations. The filing OF the suit Oy
the government against the New Haven
railroad for violation OF the antitrust law
was much dWelt upon as belyng the
much heard assumption that a truce had
been arranged between the administration
and the corporations and q tacit agree
ment reached for the sOftening OF the rig
OILS of prosecution against railroad corpo-
rations. So much has been heard of this
assumption in connection with the recent
rise in stocks that The incident was
dreaded for its effect on speculative hold
ers OF stocks who have acted upon it,
Another view of the collapse was that

of the claims OF general Improvement on
which the rise in prices was professedly
based than ct any time since it was I'M

or the continued shrinkage of railroad
traffic. a decrease in idle car surplus was
reported by the American Railway assO-
citation in their statement published today,
the reduction in number of idle cars
reaching S.965.
This represents a turn in the tide of
equipment going into idleness since March
is, since which time there had been q
large increase in each two weeks period.
Apparently these favorable developments
have not attracted as much demand for
stocks as was hoped for and as was relied

fact that the banks during the week lost

exports of gold. The actual reduction in
cash reported by the banks for the week
was $4,S06, 200, which goes to show that
the other losses already mentioned were
made up largely through excess of re-
ceipts from the interior and from other
sources. The loans OF the banks for the
week increased 81, 209, 500, due largely to
the continued revival OF speculative ac-

commitments in commercial lines. De-
