undertaking. There Is just a chance
that she may break into some of the
profits if a really live lawyer can be
found willing to go into the tangle as
to the patent. Miss Pretz isn't quite
sure what she signed. She knows
just two things, and these are that
about $1,000 represents all she ever
got for her work, and that two or
three men are becoming rich as a re.
suit of it.
I'm out of patience with the whole
subject" Miss Pretz said recently.
Don't care to see 'Billikin' again"
was suggested.
II do not" she replied.
You'd smash one If you had a
chance?"
Il certainly would"
Mrs. Pretz says her daughter has
broken the last of the "Billikins' that
stood on the family mantelpiece.
She has dismissed the whole thing
from her life," the mother said. "She
worried about it a long time and her
father tried to make the Chicago PEG.
pie pay her for what they had pre-.
empted. There is a chance yet that
she may get what she deserves. /
can't talk about that now, however.
She still own the patent. She is reti.
cent and refrains from going into
court to enforce her rights"
But listen: One of these fine days
the creator of "Billikin' will give the
changeful public another idol, some.
thing to touch every human being
struggling along toward some goal.
She won't tell what 1t Is. One thing
is certain, when Miss Pretz has an.
other novelty 1t will take a mighty
careful lawyer to get her signature to
any paper. The next contract offered
her, she says, will go with her on a
long vacation to be studied. After
which the bar association will be
asked to pass upon 1t.

The buffet cars are divided into two
rooms with the buffet between them. The
smaller Of the two rooms is the lounging

woods with subdued lighting and color

brilliant eOloring. The interior finish Of the

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, June 1s--Little vitality was shown by the stock market today, dealings heinz small and the action of unsettlement and the possible sequence are too doubtful to encourage confi- dence in operations in stocks. A factor in the hesitation was the circulation of from Paris asserted that the French government had irrevocably decided not to sanction the listing of United States steel on the Ferris Bourse. The princi- pal, banking house associated In the project expressed it's disbelief in this report and maintained it's tone of hope fylness over the uitimate outcome of Association's committee reported that an increase had occurred again in the number of idle freight cars in the coun- try in the weeks ending June. 3 an ad- Srns ts ios soss asi PsrSH S 's of srsieh Ss cars remaining Idle. epRorts of rx- banding railroad traffic continue to Do received.

The bank statement shows extraordinary discrepancy be. tween the loan changes in the averages and the actual comparison. the average loans increasing s10,s77,o00. while in tn actual comparison there has been a violent contraction of s35,277,500, the discrepancy thus rising to over 345,- 500,000. Enormous repayment of loans at the end of the week is the only like ly explanation. Shifting of accounts In connection with bond syndicate pay ments may be partly responsible. Im- portant new sources of credit must be presumed to account for the extent of the relief in the demand for banking credits hera.
