and. while in conference with several
prominent bankers in that city, learned
from them that the present financial con-
ditions in Washington, together with the
currency bill. were subjects of much dis
cussion, not particularly as TO the effect
that it would have on the general bank
ing business in the country, but they
feared that New York was losing its
ground as the chief financial center of
the country. and that this power would
be eventually transferred TO Washing
ton. Mr.. Randle expressed the belief
that the day was not far distant when
this would be tue case. He compliment
ed President Wilson for the work which
he has done and said that he is the

JUST THINK OF III.

A little hoy once said to his school
mates, Il don't make any more mis-
takes in my music" This little boy
had such poor eyesight that he could
not read letters three and one-hIif
| inches square more than six fet away
from him, and yet he had been repea =
eddy punished by his violin teacher TO
making mistakes while taking his les
sons Just think of it! Punished for
making mistakes, when he could not
see his notes plainly!
How did he find out that his eyes
were weak? His schoolteacher had
been making tests of the sight of her
pupils and had discovered that this
boy could not see WELL She reported
the fact to his parents, who got glasses
that made him the happiest boy r
the school, saved him many undeserv-
ed punishments and caused him to say,
Il don't make any more mistakes n
my music"
This boy did not know, nor did his
parents know, but that he saw as well
as every other boy, and his mistakes
we're thought to be from carelessnes3
and inattention.
This same boy afterwards became a
noted violinist, was educated abroa l
and played before royalty. His glass as
enabled him to see his notes plainly
and he made no more mistakes in his
reading of music.
There have been thousands of just
such boys and girls in our pub C
schools in the past who have
been stumbling along, hating their les
sons, scolded and punished by the.r
teachers and parents, just because they
had defect of vision of which they
and their parents and teacher Were
ignorant.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NARROW MOVEMENT. Trading Dull With Speculative Senti-

New York, Feb. 21.-There were a lew weak spots in the stock market today, but the general movement was narrow and trading was dull. Specu- lat1ve sentiment remained bearish, but the bears were more wary and, finding early in the day that the market of fered effective resistance to pressure, made little further efforts There was no inducement for operating on the long side and the result was that trading fell off to nominal proportions at times and price movements of the majority of the important stocks were hardly worth recording.
 Southern Pacific broke below par for the first time since 1908. Large amounts of the stock changed hands around par, but eventually the price down as low as 99.
