THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Larger bank clparingS, increaS- ed railroad earnings, record breaking steel production, in creased imports and exports, shortage of freight cars, lack of labor and increased immigration, all point to the remarkable g1owth of business. There is no indication of a Slarkrnin in the pace.
 The momentum iS So great that the United States pre- Sidcn- tial campaign did not create ev- on the slightest disturbance The steel mills are unable to take more orders for delivery ihiS year and tonnage booked assures a steady run well into next year. Purchasing power of individuals will br greatly increased when the recOrd-brraking crops have been sold and the money comes back to the producers. Whole sale business already feels the impetus this givieS to trade, and retailers later will benefit in the same way. The latter now are busy and prosperous, and great ef prosperity awaits them.
 It has been figured that new financing. which the railroad companies of the United States need to do in the near future to put themselves in position eco- nomically and profitably to han dle the constantly increasing Traffic, runs we'll into the bil- lions. Much extension and oth- er improvement work is held back because of a lack of funds and the inability of the roads to obtain money on reasonable terms. General business has been 1ncreaSinr so. enormously of late, and the movement of the crops to market iS SD heavy, that inc banks have about all they can do to supply funds for these pur- poses. This condition contrast < in marked way with the over supply of money and low raIcs prevailing a year ago. The de- ciSiOn IhiS week of the secret ary of tn" treasury that ihprc was no present necessity for the gov rrnmrnl tn aid in the crop move mrnt by increasing it's deposits in the national baks is taken to indicate that the general finan- cial situation is about as funda- mentally sound as il could be under the present monetary SyS- lem. Incidentally conditions will enable the bankers lO make LID some of their losses. SuStaird interest rairS.--EX.

AFTER YEARS OF BLINDNESS.

AuI lIrnIic ahvicrS from Culllui- mark 0r WOnIan after rrgain- ing her "Ir>lHlIi. of which she had been deprived four years. was: "WlaI awful frigh!S wO- men are uakiug of ihru<rIvrs in tllr u"w SINlrS!" Presumably. in her period ni blindness she had been enabled lu take some note of he fashions in dress. It takes more than the loss of vision to make wunIan ohlivious to the demands of fashions in dress OF mncOncrrnrd about them. We are privileged tO assume that she knew Inc shapes of things, but 1t was the general effect, sud- denly revealed, which amazed her. Doubtless other changes in her Columbus environment she has found only less startling. But the fact that the aspect of the supposedly wcll-drcssed women was the first thing that caused her asionishmcnt is significant.
 After four years of blindness anywhere in inc world of action, the rc every of vision must be accompanied by many surprises. The world moves quickly. The thoroughfares in most American cities are more crowded than they were four years ago, there are more tall buildings, many more horseless vehicles. But there is nothing stranger than

the prevailing styles in woman's dress. The rear view of the con-
 temporary woman, hated and gowned for out of doors, is probably the oldest and newest thing in the world. There is much talk of a revival of old fashions, but the adorned female never looked like the thing she is to- day. As to whether or not the styles are "frightful," that is a matter of opinion. Some good judges say they are both mod est and beautiful. But they are Ullrpr

SUFFRAGETS THROWN
OUT DURING COMBAT
Sympathizers Among Clergy
Also Elected When Women
Start Rough House"

London, Dec. 9.-Suffragets put John
Redmond. the leader OF the Irish ma
tionalist party. to the torment this aft
ernoon at q home rule demonstration
at Dalston, in the northeast Of Lon
don.
S. For half an hour the Irish leader
watched the forcible eviction from the
hall Of his disturbers, whose Interrupt
lions and desperate resistance to the
ushers caused a rapid succession Of
rough and tumble scenes Of the most
rowdy description.
Men as well as were thrown
bodily out Of the hall. Among the men
were clergymen who had protested
against the rough handling Of the
women.
During the half hour MT. Redmond
was able to utter only a single SEN
tence, which was to the effect that 1t
seemed to him almost tragic that the
women's which in, the minds and
hearts Of so many, was so great, should
be turned into a "comic interIude."

SOLD DECORATIONS
TO Taxing HEROES
Enterprising Foreigner Ac-
cused of Stealing Real Medals
and Peddling Them.

Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 9.-A great
scandal In connection with foreign
decorations were brought to light here
today. Numerous applications to wear
the grand Gordon of the double dragon
of China a aroused the suspicious
of the Belgian foreign office, for which
Belgian subjects must obtain permis-
sion before they may decorate their
buttonholes or breasts with the In
sigma of a foreign order of chivalry.
Investigation showed that the Chinese
legion here had no knowledge OF the,
granting OF any such orders to Bel
gian subjects. The diplomas, however,
were found to be genuine and 1t de-
veloped later that they had been stolen
from the Chinese legation in London.
Further investigation revealed the
fact that a widespread business in
decorations was being carried on by
a man named Lazard, whose arrest
was at once ordered. The concern has
branches in many different countries.
The orders usually dealt In were the
lion and sun of Persia the libertados
of Venezuela and the double dragon
OF China and many foreign diplomas
Of these orders OF chivalry were found
In one Of the branch Offices.

Half Of Population Will Be
Crazy Within Fifty Years,
\ Says DR.. Hyslop,

London. Dec. 9.-Dr. Theodore B.
Hyslop, the well known psychologist,
last night repeated his startling predic-
ton that half the worlds population
would be tnsance In so years. The
statement was emphasized in a lecture
delivered here on the Rise and Fall OF
Nations" DIR. Hyslop said:
1T is open to argument whether the
human mind has lost more than 1T has
gained In course o. history. The more
we advance in artificial aids. the less
do we rely on individual powers Of
thought or reason. Then reason be-
comes atrophied through disuse.
1.-THE European races are gradually
becoming prone to disorder and decay.
The law OF r~etrogression toward medi-
ocrity is true, not only of individuals,
but Of races.
1T has been calculated that within
so years the ratio of the fit to the I'M
At will be as M to one.
This is an age Of poultices and
splints.l Symptoms are treated. but
diseases are left untouched. It Is use
less to take people from the gutter II

MEYER SAYS AMERICA
NEEDS GREATER NAVY
United States Should Be Pre-
pared for War On Moments
Notice, He Asserts.

washington, Dec. s-The United
States must have q bigger navy and
u be prepared TO meet any chance
OF war In the opinion of Secretary
Meyer or the navy department. II It
Is to preserve its national safety. In
his annual report, Secretary Meyer
pleads for three new battleships this
year and declares that this country
soon Will fall from second to fourth
place in the relative standing of naval
powers, II 1t continues the policy Of
building only two ships each year.
International peace has been brought
far as a limitation of ornaments IL
concerned. TO guard It's coast and
protect its commercial activities, the
United States needs a permanent navy
Of Al capital ships-battleships and
battle cruisers-according to Secretary
Meyer. The present strength OF the
navy in battleships In about SO, but
four ships will soon be retired as OBJ
solete, . . r.> ill.,.
Secretary Meyers report is a recital
Of the development OF the navy dur
ing the year, with few recommends
tons beyond those contained in his
former reports. He gives chief en-
phasis to his recommendation that the
be increased according to a pro-
gram that will keep the nation In Its
present position among the world pow
ers; and the suggestion that congress
emove the limit upon the amount OF
money that can be spent for aviation
and permit the navy to compete with
the like establishments Of other ma
tons in developing aerial methods OF
defense. VT 4. @.,s.- u.s.
For the coming year the secretary
OF the navy urges that congress ap-
propriate money for three battleships
OF the D~readnaught class and for two
battle cruisers. Is destroyers, 8 sub
marines, 2 gunboats, and a fleet Of
auxiliaries to include transports, sup
ply ships, tugs, tenders and q dry
dock. The navy general board rec
ommends four battleships; and Secre-
tary Meyer points out that v q
though this number should be author
lied 1t would mean no real increase in
the navy as four ships are soon to be
retired because they viii have passed
the age of 20, years. VIAL ....
III Secretary Meyer expresses skepticism
as to the abolition OF war In the near
future. Wars come with little or no
warning he says, and only by the pos
session of an efficient fleet OF adequate
size will make the country safe from
attack and free to work out its own
destiny in peace and without him

Green said that three weeks later his
stock was checked UP and the Inter-
