Congress does not always listen
attentively TO what the president has
to say about public matters, as evi
denced In the acts Of the senate

TO Arizona and New Mexico. The
president has emphatically declared
time and again his opposition TO the
recall OF judges as embodied In the
Arizona constitution. and has lief,
very little doubt In he minds OF

RACING DRIVERS CAUTIOUS. Wilcox, the We'll Known Pilot, an Ex-
 ample of Carefulness.

Erroneous as 1t is, many people get the impression that racing pilots are reckless drivers at all times, even when not at the wheel of their space eating speed monsters. This is unjust to the gasoline heroes for in the ma jority of cases they are more careful of their steeds, more considerate of the road rights of others and less willing to en- danger human life, run over dogs or kill chickens than the amateur driver who is inoculated with the speed microbe.
 An instance of this was the driving of "Howdy" Wilcox, the famous Ma tional pilot, holder of worlds records the man who dared to pilot his car over the Florida sands faster than any stock car has ever travelled before.
 "Howdy'' drove a duplicate of his worlds record National throughout the entire Indiana four state tour While road with dead dogs and fattened brakes.
 While not afraid to risk his own life in a battle with speed and death Will boosters trip into race. Not until let his car out, and then only after the rest of the tour had left the course.
 Certainly it would be a revelation to many owners to ride with real race driver on a tour of this kind. It would teach them that consideration for their cars in everyday use that enables men like Aitken Wilcox and MerZ to win races with their big powerful National mounts.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
AN UNSETTLED MARKET. A Searish Tendency With Some Re. covery at Close of Day.

New York, Aug. That the stock market should have further unsettled today was hardly surprising to those who have watched the recent trend of events. Weekend developments while not altogether discoura ging were hard " hopeful to the constructive side of the situation, embracing as they did a number of adverse crop reports some
 more unfavorable railroad earnings, in cluding St. Paul with deficit for the fiscal year of $3,300,000 after payment Of fixed charges and dividends; the
 hardening of discounts in London due
 no less to the threatened constitutional cr1SlS than to the recent embarra ss-
 ment Of provincial bank, and finally affairs political and industrial at home Th9kattitude of the Stanley investigat- ing committee at last Saturdays ses- sion in this city was the subject of no little discussion in the financial dis tricts, where the opinion seemed to prevail that the United States Steel corporation may have to divorce itself
 rom its transportation companies if it is to keep within the bounds of the trust laws. This feeling was part ly borne out in Washington despatches which lntimated that representatives of the department of justice were giving considerable heed to this phase of the ma tier.
 On the whole support accorded to the steel shares today was less effective than that given to other stocks in the same class. Trading in Steel common during the first hour amounted to TO- coo shares, almost B per cent. of that brief periods output. For the day total trading in the stock amounted to 146,- 900 shares out of a grand total of 530, 900. The stock was again sold princi- Ipally by a coterie of brokers whose recent activities on the short side hay C given unusual prominence to their op- erations.
 The strength of the Hill stocks, the coppers and some of the specialize: was noteworthy. but that may be ex-
 plained on the ground that their prics levels before the recent decline render ed them less vulnerable to bear as- saults. Trading languished during tii, afternoon until well toward the closa when buying movement of some pro-
 portions sent the list to it's top level The recovery met with some resist
 ance and top prices shaded from tne best here and there, but final quota tions resulted in many substantial
 gains.
