OIL sTEAMESs IDLE

TAMPICO, July 7.-More oil tank steamers are reported idle here than at any time in many months. This is partly due to the low prices of oil which make exportation barely pro-
 fitable and partly as protest, it is said, against the action of consti-
 tutionalists who continued to exact a tax intenedd to apply to the dredg- ing of Panuco river, but the dredg-

FINANCE AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

NEW YORK. July 7-Trading in stocks was without a definite trend until the final hour, when the list lifted out of it's early lethargy to the accompaniment of considerable activ
 ity. Gains of l to points occurred in that brief period, chiefly on shares of eastern railroads. Specialties were again conspicuous by their un
 explained gains of to points. Gould shares were active at marked recessions, Missouri Pacific losing ? points and collateral bonds five. The sharp decline in these securities were associated with the proposed finan
 cial readjustment of the Missouri Pacific system. Rock Island secu-i ties, including collateral bonds, pre- ferred and common shares established new low prices. Among the special ties which added to recent gains were Mexican petroleum, Studebaker com mon and preferred, United States Express. Central Leather preferred, and General Motors, while United Dry Goods preferred recorded almost four points. In the main the bond market showed firm unde-tone, the feature being a six point gain in In- ternational Pump Elves. Total sales represented par value of $2,O15,00O.

MAYoR.E1Ecr RAYMoNp,s PLAIN WORDS.

1t was a hattering demonstration of goodwill
that marked the reception to Mayor-eect Thomas L.
Raymond, in the Palace ballroom, last night; an
evidence of deep feeling and encouragement that
plainly impressed the guest of honor The over
lures of friendship received by Mr.. Raymond
in dgnifed spirit of appreciation.
He expressed gratefulness in quiet, easy
way and with earnestness that bespoke an inten-
ton to carry to execution policies outlined in his ut
terances The mayor-eect has, as he declared, a
mighty task before him, great responsibility. He
realizes it. He has also a splendid opportunity
within his grasp Newark is great city, and to
manage its affairs to the satisfaction of all and to
the personal credit of the mayor himself is indeed
q stupendous undertaking.
But Mr.. Raymond talks like man who means
to give satisfaction to ALL and who has strong
regard for his personal honor and reputation
Close observation justhes prediction that he
will make good, and he can rest assured that the
public, as it should will cordially cooperate with
him In the work he has been called upon to perform.
That he esteems friendships Is quite plain, but
it seems be equally clear that he is discerning
enough to sift the sehshy inclined from the sincere
friends in completing plans for the carrying out of
the work of his administration. That matters con-
corning the mayoralty and all that its duties imply
be safely left to his judgment is revealed in his
remarks of last night.

President Wilson, read by himself, to the sxtythird
Congress today.
These, and other subjects, are discussed in the
document the President while holding that our navy
is equal to all demands upon it, contending that ex-
perts have not able to suggest and devise ship
equipments durable for more than a period of ten
years.
The tone of the message, as a whole, breathes
hope cheer and teens with arguments and reasons
for continuance of that peace with all the world
enjoyed by the United States There is encourage
nent for progress in business the President pointing
out where the industries of the country may profit
by the European war, and urging the development
OF the industries specially benefited.
The resources of the nation through its forests

Trade and business ought to be stimulated, the
President says and the people, misnformed on so
many things, should not yield to excitement or be
anduly impressed by extraordinary conditions. We

he Presidents mind this country can supply other
with goods formerly supplied to US by other

eople to find means for action.
Stress is laid the value of the merchant marine

amounts for the purpose of manufac-
turing pure olive oil. The corn which
grew on our prairies was by reason

American corn oil and they produced
in that way an olive oil which none

Anne Barnard
Copyrighted 1914.

The name OF the woman who wrote
Aud Robin Gray" can never be for
gotten, for of all Scotch songs and
ballads there is none that has a
greater appeal than this. Lady Anne
Barnard, who wrote this when she
was young woman, was born De-
cember 8, 1850. She was the oldest
daughter of the fifth Earl Of Bal
cares. Her early life was passed
in comparative retirement on her
fathers estates in Scotland, and. save
for occasional winter flights to Edin-
burgh, where she met many promi-
nent English and Scotch people of
the day, she had very little inter.
course with society. Lady Anne
persistently refused to marry till
Andrew Barnard asked for her hand
when she was forty-three. He was
considerably younger than she was,
and only his accomplishments and
his charm of manner offset the fact
that he was poor and possessed few
prospects. With him Lady Anne went
to live in the Cape of Good Hope,
where his business called him, and
for fourteen years they passed a
happy life. Then on his death Lady
Anne returned to England and lived

Far from Being Dangerous, Acid Is
Blood Necessity.
All flesh is grass. Therefore who
ever can make two blades grow where
only one grew before, will not only
deserve better of mankind than O
whole race of military politicians and
aristocrats, but will thus enhance
the health and happiness of the hu-
man flesh.
Almost every day persons who
consult me for ailments of every pos
sible nature express the opinion, de-
rived from doctors, doctrines or docu-
nnents. that acids are taboo, because
inirnical to all the ills that sophisti-
Gated flesh inherits or acquires.
Therefore, take deeply to heart-or,
rather. to the stomach--this fact, that
acids are not only and almost always
harmless, but actually desirable and
necessary. Reason and facts should
weigh more heavily with everybody
than mere opinions, repetitions and
traditions, yet it is not so.
The chance assumption of one DR..
Iaig. a generation ago. that all the
nhysical evils in Pandora's box OF Ills
was traceable to too much acid in
the blood" has passed through the
usual gossip mongers' transmuta-
tons.
The, applause of the crowd does
more than make the head giddy and

fallacy let full need of praise and
honor now be given.

A SCHOOL EXPENSE NOT GRUDGED.

An impressive idea of the size of New Jersey s
school army is given by the fact that there en-
rolled in the public schools last year many pupils
there people in the State in the early part of
the decade before the Civil War. One person in
every five of the population of New Jersey is being
educated at the public expense.
The people of New Jersey last year spent more
than sixteen millions of dollars to maintain schools
for 537 900 OF their children and twelve millions of
dollars of this total for salaries of teachers
principals and superintendent. The educational bill
of the State $S05 600 than that of the pre-
ceding year. But increase in this form of public
expenditure is a matter for rejoicing. OF all the out
lays by State this is the that should be the least
grudged. The school is the very founda-
ton of social order. Every dollar spent it is re-
turned tenfold.
