ALUMINIUM PRICES FIXED

The International Aluminium Syndi.
cate has now fixed the price of the
METAL for next years delivery at 160
marks per 100 kilos. ($3S0 per metric
ton of 2204.62 pounds), with the usual
increase for, special marks. The
syndicate, however, will not dispose
of the entire output for 1913 at this
price, there being general view
among members that production dur.
ing the next twelve months will not
be able to keep pace with eonsump-
ton, and that still higher prices viii
be possible. On the other hand, the
syndicate has all along been very
emphatic in asserting their intention
of in no way handicapping the devei.
opment of the alufninum-consuming
industries by unduly raising prices.
At $3.50 per ton manufacturers have
quite good margin of profit, though
the price cannot be considered at all
excessive in view of the present lev,
els of metals generally. and particu.
larry of copper and tin. 1t is under.

FEELINGS OF CORDIAL
FRIENDSHIP FOR U. S.
Sir George Reid Tells New
York How Much Australia
Thinks of America ]

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Aus-
tralia's feeling of cordial friendship
for the United States was testified to-
day by Sir George H. Reid, former
premier and now high commissioner
for Australia, who was the guest-of-
honor at luncheon given by the
Merchants association here. Although
Is per cent. of Australia's imports
were from the British empire, the
high commissioner noted in his ad-
dress, he expressed qualification that
the trade Of his country with the
United States was large one, and
that the feeling of the Australian peo-
pie for the people of the United States
we're those of the most genuine affec-
ton. I'VE had only one, opportunity
of really showing how we felt in ref
Erence to your people, added Sir
George, and that was two or three
years ago when magnificent fleet OF
battleships visited Australia There
never was, / think, q wilder demon
stration of enthusiasm in Australia
than when we had the opportunity of
taking our American cousins by the
hand and offering them the best of
our hospitality. The loyalty of the
people of Australia for the mother
country was never SO intense as it is
today, but we have no reservation in
our feeling for. the people of the Unit
ed States"

last night from losing her purse to
robbers, and a meeting that might
have been terrifying turned into an
amusing affair. She was on her way
home when two armed men com.

1--WE want money, that is all, they
said. $50 throw up your hands"
She obeyed, and informed them
that her purse was tucked in the top
of her corset, under the arm. One
of the men tore open her waist and
thrust in a hand. 1t came out in a
hurry to clap over the woman's mouth
as she creamed: DON'T" -,

way" she laughed, as the hand drop
ped and gave her a chance to speak.
'but | am awfully ticklish and / just
can't stand it."
The continued efforts of the men
to find the purse, while Mrs. Justine 8
protecting arm wouldn't stay up,
threw her into fits of laughter, which
so disturbed the robbers that, as she
sank to the pavement, they ran. The
policeman who came up as she rose
and brushed her dress found her very

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
BY GEORGE FITCH

On this date John Quincy Adams,
sixth president Of the United States,
was born IN Massachusetts. His name
does not appear on any postage stamp.
Yet no American ever stirred up more
ili-feeling during his life or was buster
doing it or had a larger public career
or more patriotism to the square inch
or contributed more ancestors and
descendants to Who's Who In Ameri-
ca" -"
Adams was an infant prodigy. The
Adams had been great people for sew
eral generations, and when John
Quincy was born in 1867. his father,
John. was helping TO form the United
States of America, and was already
thinking out a few hasty remarks to
make when he became president John
Quincy Adams was a learned man at
1G, and was secretary to an embassy
&c Russia at fifteen. He was small,
pale lad with head like a planet and
he kept on stuffing it with Latin and
POLITICAL economy and history until
when he graduated from Harvard peo-
pie used to verify their encyclopedias
by him. .... .
John Quincy was born insurgent
and attacked everything violently and
ably. He went into politics early and
became an ambassador a special COM
missioner and a senator, insurging
himself out Of Office each time with
great cheerfnlness. Later he taught
rhetoric in Harvard and did odd JOS
such as writing treaties and doing
cabinet work under Monroe. He was
universally admired for his learning
aud the way In which his vast polished
dome OF reason got pink and flushed
while he fed nine syllabled eloquence
to. his opponents, and in 1924 he was
elected president by one vote. His
cha father, who had been presidenta
quarter of a century before, had hung
around until he was past ninety for
the sake OF conducting his son to the

ANTIQUITY PALACES
Willy Dealers Inhabit 0ut-of-
Way Premises and Attract
Colnoisseurs by Atmosphere
.,of Mystery ~. - .-,.. : j -

LONDON, Eng, Sept. 20.--zAs tall
and appropriate Tudor house, with an
oak and plaster facade, has just been
built as the premises of a well-known
curiosity shop in Westminster.
This is departure from the GUS
tom of London's curiosity shops,
which have hiterto kept, however ex-
quisite the display they may make,
that kind of hole-aHd-corner retire
ment which adds to the stimulation
of hunting for antiquities. There is
not anything in London, for instance,
like the palatial mansions packed with
antiques which exist at Hitchin. In
such houses ones eye is caught by a
vista of silver and china, by table
after table loaded with objects of art
and leading one through dim, crowd
ed recesses, where everything is still
set out with care One passes into
Gourtyards, where old stone figures
or graceful leaden statues are seen,
almost in their own surroundings, re-
heved against the cropped lawns. The
curiosity shop has given place to the
antiquity palace. >.,:4 =
But in London the instinct of the
hunter, the coyetDus rummaging de-
sire to make a find" is still catered
for by the dealers. They do not
choose. the main thoroughfares where
the uninitiated move from shop win
dow to shop window without leisure
for look at rare art. They collect,
almost in colonies, where there are
unsupported alleys behind everything,
so to speak. And they keep the small
shop window, such as vulgar person
would pass by. The district round
ST James Square is half inhabited
by them But it is not their modern
policy to pack their curio5ities tight
ly and haphazard, so that choice is
bewildered. They arrange their win
dows with economy and effect, and
impose on one a discreet sense of
suggestion that there is very selec-
tive taste behind the scenes.
A tray of, Jade figures. bright
saucer of Canton enamel, satinwood
escritoire, and a small oil painting
give a scheme quite sufficient to at
tract the connoisseur. He enters and
is Immediately doomed to purchase.
All his tricks of taste are met in one
nway or another, and when he departs

with purchase, On his conscience
he has a lingering memory of other
desirable things. And this memory
works in him like genie till ne
comes back and again surrenders. An
other part of London which is occu-
pied by curiosity shops is the ram
shackle territory northeast of Victo-
ria street 1t is here that the new
Tudor house, with its frontage giving
a vision into a vast interior filed with
furniture, has broken the London ira
diti0n to some hcf1rTc but hero, too.
the situation is iii itself a stimulus
to research.

COLLEGES NON
Train FEW FOR
MINISTRY

The original purpose Of American
colleges was mainly to train men for
the ministry, but so 1t is no longer.
Harvard, founded chiefly to educate
cIergymen, now gives to this profess
sion barely 2 per cent. OF her gradu-
Rtes; Yale, begun under similar I'M
pulses, now contributes a neager 3
per cent. This and other interesting
changes in the professions favored by
college graduates are described in q
bulletin by Bailey B. Burritt ON PRO
fessional Distribution of University
and College Graduates" just issued
by the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation.
The decline In the numbers going
into the ministry has been aocompa-
MED by a rise IN the professions OF
teaching. law, and business. All three
have been more or less consistent
gamers at the expense Of the minis
try.
When the older colleges were es-
tablished boys who expected to be
the business men of the community
rarely gave much thought to higher
education" That was for the learn
ed professions, most often, in the
early days, the ministry. 1t is only
of recent years that men with busi-
ness careers ahead of them have TAX
en- advantage of college opportunities.
At Harvard the ministry yielded the
leadership to law after the revoiu-
tiOnary war, and law remained the
dominant profession of Harvard grad
yates until 1880, when business took
the lead. At Yale the ministry COM
.peted successfully with law until aft
,er the middle OF the nineteenth CEN
fury, when law took the ascendency
and kept IL until 1895, being then dis
placed by business. At the UntEer-
sity of Pennsylvania one-fourth of the
graduates used to go INTO the minis
trN; now about one fiftieth do so.
OberIin College, founded with strong
denominational tendencies, shows the
same story of the decline IN numbers
OF men going into the ministry. At
the University Of Michigan, out OF an
army Of over $4,000 graduates, only
1873 have become ministers.
Aside from their contributions 10
the clergy, most of the universities
and colleges have had favOrite pro-
fessions. AT Columbia, Dartmouth,
and Michigan, for instance, tt is law
at Pennsylvania It is medicine; at
OberIin, Wisconsin, and many Others.
particularly the co4educational insti7
tutions, Il is teaching; while few
of the universities, Brown, for exc
ample, have shown an impartial spirit,
dividing up their strength almost
among four leading profess
si0ns.
A final summary of 81 representa-
tive colleges shows that teaching is
now the dominant profession OF col-
lege graduates, with y per cent; bus
mess takes 20 per cent; law, which
took one-third of all the graduates at
the beginning of the nineteenth cen,
fury, now claims but Is per cent;
medicine takes between s and z per.
cent, and seems to be slightly on the
decline; engineering is slowly going
up, but still takes only 3 or 4 per
cent; while the ministry, with its
present 5sor 6 per cent. of the total.
has reached the lowest mark for that
in the two and half Gems
turtles of American college history.
