BUSINESS CONDITIONS
IN CAPITAL ARE GOOD
CIapham Says Confidence Increases,
Money Fairly Easy. and No Pressure
for Settlement of Debts.
BY ASHTON G. CLAPHAM,

President o, the Commercial NattUnal Bank.
Business conditions in Washington dur
ing the past week have been good. Con
fidenCc in finance is increasing. money
was fairly easy and there was no un-
usual pressure for settlement of debts.
For outside markets. the passing OF
steel dividends had a somewhat depress-
ing effect upon business. This failure
to declare. however, was due to past
conditions. and not because of the pres
ent status OF things. it was explained.
In the local markets. investments were
fairly popular with a demand for short
time and municipal bonds. Washington
Railway and Electric Company seemed
TO offer the most popular stock invest

RATHER novel verdict was rendered
in Pennsylvania court recently which
affected . liquor dealer. A man bought
intoxfcants at the hotel Of the defend
ant. and then, while under the influence
Of the drink. fell in front Of railroad
train and was killed. His widow brought
suit againat the hotel keeper who sold
the liquor for damages sustained in the
loss Of her husband. The lawyer who
represented the widow was laughed at
when he began suit, as the majority OF
people did not believe he could sustain
bis action. But, to the surprise of the
scoffers. verdict was rendered in favor
Of the widow. This was appealed to
higher court. and that tribunal decided
that the verdict below was correct and
Just. and the hotsl keeper will be com
PEELED to settle the damages claimed.

ONE OF the most foolish controversies
ever started was that which recently
took place in Merchantville, arising over
the manner in which two scholars Of the
public school Of that place dressed when
they attended school. II wasduring the
hot spell in September. and the boys
won't to school without collars. and,
what appeared to be worse in the eyes Of
the teachers In charge, they had their
shirts tucked In at the necks. They
were sent home, and the indignant par
onts appealed to the school board, who
decided that the teachers were right and
that the boys were wrong. The parents
demanded that the boys be given credit
Tor the time they were kept from school,
but that WAS refused. One point was
missed by the parents, or if it was look
ID into 1t was not mentioned, and that
was the condition OF the collars or tuck
In" Of the dress OF the teachers who
were SO fearfully shocked at the way the
boys tried to get comfort. If they had
their necks closely mufHed and not at
tired as a majority Of women dress these
days, that was one thing; but II they had
the usual low-neck and its correspond
ing display Of throat then 1t is hard to
zee why the boys should be censured for
trying to be comfortable. The whole
thing appears to be absurd. and there
does not seem to be any rule or reason In
: board Of education telling scholars
that they must wear uncomfortable
clothing at any time Of the year. That
appears to be matter for home rule.
