NEW YORK, Aug. lion the opening
the selling pressure on foreign account
gave the market a weak appearance.
This was further accentuated by the
gloom that prevailed in local interests,
attendant on the developments of the
last few days, the prolongation of the
session of Congress, almost certainty
of further tariff tirkering and the
promise of labor troubles on this side
of the Atlantic reaching a serious stage.
Business is getting no better; there are
chances for a further slashing of VAL
ues in steel products. capital is dis
gusted and feels indisposed to further
the movement in the interest of holding
the stock market.
And the state of business all over
the country is growing less favorable.
The hope is freely expressed that con-
ditions may be driven home to the law
makers in Congress assembled and that
1t may have some effect in lessening
the degree of drastic tinkering with the
tariff and perhaps lead to an early ad-
journmsnt.
After the initial smashing of the
market this morning, accomplished in
the first hour, the bears decided that
they had made trouble enough and that
ii would be nothing more than the part
Of wisdom to turn In and take some of
their paper profits and transfer them to
bank accounts. The usual result fol-
lowing a movement of this kind was no
ticed, rally that practically recovered
the majority of losses before the noon

Automatic Stability
Device To Be Tested
Before Army FLYERS

John P. Tarbox. of 1752 Willard street
northwest, is the inventor of an auto
matte stability device to be used on
all flying machines, and next Wednes-
day he will try to demonstrate to the
Government experts at College Park
that his invention will steady and con-
troll the planes of a flying machine
when air conditions are treacherous.
Recently Mr.. Tarbox conducted a
series Of experiments with his device at
Georgetown. S. c., on a Shneider bi-
plane. and each proved successful The
Shne1der machine, owned by Mr. Tar
box and his brother, D. L. Tarbox, of
Georgetown, S. c., is now at College
Park, and will be assembled immediate1
ly.
Capt. Charles Def. Chandler has kind
ly given consent to Mr.. Tarbox to erect
a hangar on the aviation field. 1t will
adJoin the Rex Smith Company's hang
ars.
The invention of Mr.. Tarbox is made
to fit on an engine. From the device
hangs a pendulum which controls a
number of wires, each wire in turn con-
trolling different parts of a machine,
The inventor claims that when the
wind or air currents hit a biplane the
device will maintain the machine In a
perfect equilibrium.
d. L Tarbox will arrive at CoIlepe
Park tomorrow, and about Wednesday
will make several flights in the Shneider
machipe in order to demonstrate the
stability device. -
II the exhibition is successful the Tar
box brothers will offer their Invention

Prodigal Son Returns
And Gets Court Warning

David E Frere, sixteen years old,
prodigal son, returned this morning,
but he did not find the fatted calf
awaiting him. David has been spending
week in New York without the con-
sent of his parents, and he was
brought into the Juvenile Court,
charged by his father, Richard n
Frere. of PIG Twelfth street northwest,
with being tncorrigible.
Young Frere also admitted to Judge
Callan that he had not been living
upon husks, but had enjoyed good Iiv-
ing on broadway as long as the Sc he
took TO Gotham lasted. He stated fur
ther that he had seen enough OF the
world. and asked for another chance
to live with the home folks. He said
he sought the nearest police station
when he got hungry in New York.
You seem to have learned lesson" "
said Judge Callan, 80 I'm going to
send you home to your family. See
that you stay there, because the next
time your fancy turns you toward the
Great White Way" you will land at
the Reform School.

Washington may be visited late this
afternoon by army aviators from
College Park. AT least a cross-coun-
try flight of some kind will be made,
and the flyers have a strong inclina-
ton to soar over the city.
Both the Wright and the Burgess
Wright machines were crippled for
two days because of defective parts
in the engines, but are now ready for
duty.
This morning three flights were
made and the officers were elated by
the good behavior of the engines.
The flight over Washington de-
pends altogether on the strength Of
the wind and the air currents. Lieu
tenant Milling made two flights this
morning, staying up five minutes on
the first flight and going 600 feet in
the air. On the second flight he was
up ten minutes and attained an alti-
tude of 1000 feet. A third flight was
made with Lieutenant Arnold han
ding the control and Lieutenant
Kirkland as a passenger. They were
up fifteen minutes and went LOO feet
in the air.
Lieutenant Arnold resumed work on
the Wright machine at noon, and
there is a possibility that he, too,
will sail over Washington this even
ing.

Pacific. which is the leader Of the list
in volume of trade and in fluctuations as

Ohio acted we'll.
There was nothing in the news Of the

afternoon the covering Of shorts con-

ance of being better founded than any

The list again followed the lead of

news to cause better strength, but the
Union Pacific shorts displayed some

House Will Scrutinize
All Conservation Bills

That the House will give serious scru-
tiny to all measures involving the con-
serVation CT natural resources was
made apparent, when the Senate re-
ceived back today its bill providing for
the improvement of the Black Warrior
river, in Alabama. The House passed
the Senate bill, but it emasculate ted it
thoroughly, amending almost every
paragraph.
The bill originally gave a fifty-year
lease of power privilege to a Birming-
ham electric concern. The House
changed It to twenty-five, and it was
further stipulated that the company
shall pay at least 81 per year per horse
power. Representative Madison obtain
ed the adoption of an important amend
ment providing that the power company
shall sell directly to the consumer
without the Intervention of the middle
man" The bill authorizes change
in the lock and dam system of the
river, in order to make ii more navi-
gable, but the question of conservation
arose over the incidental franchise
rights of the Birmingham corporation.

Frederick Flight
Of Army Aviators
Delayed Few Days

The cross-country flight of the Gov
ernment aviators from College Park to
Frederick, Nd, planned for tomorrow,
will not be made until the early part
Of next week. The delay has been

the old Wright biplane and because
the engine of the new Burgess-Wright

manding officer at the aviation school,
hopes to have everything in readiness

6 O'Clock. They expect to cover the
distance going in about one hour and

Strike Causes Delay
In Motorboat Races

The international motorboat races, in
which the Washington-built Viva II is
entered, have been postponed because
of the strike OF the dock laborers in
England. The contests were scheduled
for the latter part of next week at
Huntington, L. l., but the British boats
cannot be shipped to arrive in time for
the races as first planned
Definite new dates have not Yet been
fixed
The Viva II is the only American
craft ready to contest and the delay will
give the other boats an opportunity to
get into commission.
These races are to be shown in moy-
ing pictures. J. Stuart Blackton, owner
of the Viva II, is president Of the Vita
graph Company. Arrangements have
been made for the stationing of five
cameras along the race course, and Mr..
BlacktOn is confident that he will be
able to show the Viva II leading the
fastest motorboats of the world In the
finish of the big race.

Wants More Courses.

Editor The Missourian: There are
not enough courses given in the Uni
versity. This may sound strange
in view of the great list given in the
catalogue, but when analyzed the
courses that are really worth taking
are in sad minority. The reason for
this is probably the fact that in nearly
every department, a certain course
is mot given this session." Conse-
quently there are only a few of the
regular courses,that can be had. There
should be variety of courses, and the
department should seek to exhaust its
subject by referring to the very depth.
For instance, the English department
might well give a course on Shake
sperian Comedy" or "DeQuincey and
Lamb" The history department might
give courses on the History of the
French Revolution" or Modern Ger
man History" There must be a vari-
ETY. to pick from, and If each depart
ment would seek to enlarge this va
riety, more study cards would be filled
with courses that the students really
res1red to take. G. l.. K.

The Utopian ideal of the hobo class
will never be attained. A land where
all life is milk and honey without a
person to milk the cows or rob the
bees is not to be found. Luxury with
out labor is not known, except in a
few fortunate families with millions
of dollars endowment behind them,
and this could not be universal. The
hobo will have to work like anyone
else if he wishes food and shelter,
and all of his conventions will not
avail as much as an hours honest

University Chat.

The purpose of university is, as
its name implies, to give universal
education. And true education is uni
versal in its scope. 1t gives a power
to see and appreciate the feelings of
all humanity. 1t gives to the stronger
power to sympathize with their weak.
er brethern. 1t is to teach the lessons
and practical things of life to its
students.
Life is not lived in books. 1t is as
true that there are bathrooms as it
is that there are libraries. And the in
habitants of bathrooms have generally
gotten more from the world than have
those who spend their lives in H.
braries,
There is only one person who gets
less out of his university life than the
idler, and that is the grind. The grind
thinks that life consists of bound
volumes, and he spends his hours in
worrying study. The idler thinks that
by jumping here and there he can
somehow exist and his heart is happy.
Which gets the most out of life?
A university should touch upon all
phases of human career. Grades are
not always an index to the good a
man receives from his college course
There is much in the social life-it
gives breadth and depth, poise, not
in any other way. Every
student should make reasonable
grades. but before condemning on the
ground Of grades. look farther and see
what the social student or the grind
is getting in addition to the marks
Of his scholastic records.

Lettering on Fifth avenue in the

ago there was no trouble in this di-

homes had been replaced by stores.
But then number of realty COM
panies started new experiment. They
erected in the lower part of the ave-

wholesale garment making trade. The
experiment proved successful for the
owners. and the garment makers sue
ceeded in Transforming the character
of the district. Whereas it had been
