Stock Markets

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The press de-
scriptiOn Of Harriman's condition in
creased the nervousness OF the stock
market. With the beginning of business
this morning there was n heavy selling
pressure in evidence causing declines
ranging from fractions 10 over . points
In nearly every thing traded in. Union
Pacific was the center OF interest and
the opening transactions in that stock
we're attended by a good deal OF excite
ment. They were reported, $500 shares

selling below los and Southern Pacific
sustained a loss of l-2 points. Erie fell
to SS and New York Central dropped
over a point. A loss OF ] 5-S was sus-
the same amount IN Reading. There
were fractional declines in the rest OF
the list. At the end Of the first nfteen
minutes. the tone became firmer.
In addition to the press statements
regarding Harriman's condition, disap-
pointment over the statement by him
that he had not at present any idea
Of proceeding wit hthe Union Pacific
segregation plan had much to do with
the liquidition of Union Pacific dur
ing the first hour. This left some bull
operators in Union Pacific without
their special incentive for sending the
stock any higher and some of the spec
lulative element on the side were sufii-
ciently disheartened to thorw over their
holdings. This selling made Union
Pacific common the heaviest sufferer
/ in the downward movement.
There was an absence Of impressive
trading in other issues. Steel COM

AIRSHIP SNAPS
AVIATOR FALLS
A GREAT HEIGHT

RHEIMS, Aug. 25-Henri Tournier,
a leading French aviator. was seriously
injured this afternoon when his Voisin
bi-plane fell from a great height and
was smashed.
The machine was going at great
speed when one of the wires support
ing the planes snapped. The machine
turned a somersault and tho great
crowd, which but a moment before
had cheered the daring work of Four
nier, was struck dumb with terror as
the aeroplane dashed toward the
earth.
Fournier made a despeate effort to
right the machine and clutched wildly
at the levers, but the frail construc-
tion, minus its chief support, collapsed
and one wing "buckled" badly.
1t is not yet known how seriously
Fournier is hurt. He was taken to
an improvised hospital. The acci-
dent was the first that has occurred.
Only yesterday Fournier offered to
take Nat Goodwin on a flight, but the
comedian refused.

GUILTY PARENTS.

"In seven cases out OF ten where
child is punished by parent for a
fault, the parent should be punished
instead of the child"
So declares an eminent authority.
The statement may be somewhat
overdrawn for the sake Of emphasis,
but there Is much truth in It.
Seldom does the parent In Furnishing
the child stop to consider whether the
child is inherently naughty or whether
It has done something that might have
been prevented by little care or fore
sight on the part of the parent.
For instance
Much misbehavior on the part Of the
child is the natural result of its lack
of occupation
The child. like nature, abhors a
vacuum.
The boy or girl bursting with vital
ity simply cannot endure a state Of
idleness. There must be something do
/ ing. 1t is useless to command n grow
/ ing child after the manner Of somo-
Keep your feet stili."
Don't fidget so much"
"Don't make so much noise"
A normal child cannot keep still. II
must fidget II there is nothing else to
do. 1t must make n noise. Its vital.
ity boilers must have a safety valve,
Its cup is full of life; IL more is pour.
cd in the cup must run over.
Now
If you. the child's parent. do not pro
vide work or play or something to oc.
cupy its mind and body. the outcome
will be restlessness. fdgets. noise and
If opportunity is afforded, mischief OF
wrongdoing.
The trouble with most OF us as
parents is that we forget what W,
were once like: we cannot put our
selves IN the chlld's place.
1t is easy for us to sit still for d
length OF time We have our reminls
cences. But the child has no past his
tory to speak or II is governed b,
impulses.
Besides
We have learned how to exercise th'
power of the mind over the body
, Years OF sclf.control have discipline,
the body to the service OF the mind.
The child has not this power /
: anything. its body Is stronger than Il
mind. The physical dominates the a.
tellectual and the result Is: Caprices.
OF course. It is not always an eas!
task to provide occupation for Il child
but II pays. Either the parent or th
child must direct. II the parent neg
lects to do so. the child will choos
for itself. and TO its peril.
Do not punish your child for doini
something that you might have pre-
vented had yoo done your duty.

There are many women I'm this

Such a condition causes vexation;

that will turn dull. lifeless looking hair

It is Partisan Sage that proves DR.
