STOCK EXCHANGE
SUFFERS DULLNESs
The End of a Good Week in Sc
cufities Sees a Let-up, But
The Close Is Again Steady
and Strong

New York, Jan. 23.-BuSinesS today on
the Stock Exchange Was relatively duli
and the movement more narrow than re-
Gently. The trend of prices was downward
from the outset on further liquidation,
combined with bear pressure, but IN the
later dealings the list made partial re-
covery.
London presented the same low level
for American stocks, Baltimore and Ohio
being the only exception. with slight
gain There were indications OF more Eu-
ropean selling in this market, chiefly or
the less active railroads and some indus
trials and metal shares. The latter again
failed to make favorable response tot be
higher price asked for the raw product.
Although the week END showed material
recessions from the top level. the week
as aw hole was memorable. for its greater
activity. Sales Of stocks in that period ap-
proximated 1,S06.0tO shares. while bond
transactions the exchange were close
to O,00O,OOO From all trustworthy &C
counts, private sales Of listed and unlist-
ed bonds were far in excess of the latter
figure.
Trade reports issued by the mercantile
agencies denoted improved conditions and
tire bank statement more than bore Out
optimistic forecasts.

New Orleans. La. Jan. 23.-After 4 short

timed co sag until the close. when it was
to T. peintsu neer yesterdays last prices.
Trading was active on the opening and
prices went s TO II points over yesterday S

ward movement.
Liverpools nrmness caused the initial
rise while liquidation of long cotton and
fresh short selling, based on the large

Of the month. was responsible for the

Plans Long Air Fnohts.

Ocean-to-ocean flights along three
routes for a transcontinental prize
are planned by the Aero club of Amer.
lea as a part of its national 90-days'
aeroplane competition, beginning July
4, next. the club announced. The
competition, as stated in the clubs
recent announcement, is designed to
assist the war and navy departments
in developing aviation corps for the
National Guard and naval militia, and
also to demonstrate the practicability
OF mail carrying by aeroplane to iso-
lated places.
ITO carry the competition into
every state, the contest committee of
the Aero club has outlined three main
transcontinental routes" says the
statement. Every aviator in Amer
lea will be able to reach one of these
routes at some point by a cross coun-
try flight of moderate length. The
contest committee believes that there
will be many aviators who, In flying
for the daily cross country prizes of
500 a day, will find themselves on
the way across the continent In pur-
suit of this aim. and who will find it
to their advantage to keep on In an
effort to gain the sea to sea prize"

II it's a stormy winter night, the

he will not venture out. This fear
shows how little most women under

The worse the evening the more q
mar longs for the warmth, comfort,
and companionship Of ONE nice, pleas

how much Of a rover he is inclined to

look fair to him as he watches her
homelike, domesticated feminine ways.
Although he may have dined late,
he accepts with pleasure the tasty lit

to make too ardent love to her the
mother tells her how she must behave
to subdue his i%mpetuosity; what she
must do If he insists upon holding her
hand when he bids her good.by at the
door.
The timidity of such a girl Increases
under such tutelage. She Is always
In terror lest she will not say or do
the right things. She has not the abil.
ity to decide in a critical moment what
is the right our to pursue. She has
not had an opportunity to talk 1t over
with mother.
There's another class Of girls who
take quite a different viewpoint as to
their heart affairs and what Is best
for them. They argue that they can
discriminate as to what young men
should be their associates, and as to
those whom they should turn down,
the delicacy of the courtship proceed.
Ing the marriage proposal; how to act
properly-not too cold nor yet too
bold; when to speak, when to remain
silent; just how to touch the silver
cord that will win for herself a hus-
band.
Who shall say which Is best for any
n mother to do-coach her daughter
or depend upon her to rely upon her
W experience to guide her. She
knows how she % her heart mate.
She has heard her husband discourse
on this subject from a mans point
of view, while he laughed and told
her Of the stories he had snapped
with other men. This gives a oma
insight into a mans character which
she could not otherwise possess.
The experienced mother unerringly
divines a mans intentions as to
whether he is IN marriage intent, or
only fooling time away. The inexpe-
rienced daughter can simply guess.
She learns too late, If she has been
entertaining a tickle lover, when he
gives her up without ado and HES to
a new sweetheart. Summing up the
situation, 1t would seem that II a girl
is old enough and sensible enough to
have a beau, the reins should be put
in her hands for guiding him. 1t is
she who will have to live with him if
they wed. A word of motherly coun-
sci now and then II she is in doubt,
should be sought, appreciated and ac-
cepted. Lovemaking is not always the
same. Each case is a law unto itself.
Much depends upon the lover. Most
men r honest and true In lovemak-
ing. They uphold innocence and pur-
ity In women, the rosebloom which

Some fieeting good, that mocks me with

That. like the circle bounding earth and

When your pity is aroused by the
lonely bachelor. who infers that he
a a dreary life OF 1t and Is unutter.
ably lonely In the comfortable hall.
o Of a boarding house, size up his
situation In this wise: A man Is sci.
dom or never a bachelor save by his
own free will. He has lodged Cupid
whenever he has seen him approach.
Ing with his arrow pointed toward him,
II he showed an inclination TO be pleas.
ant toward women, there would be
plenty of doors thrown open to him to
dine or pass the evening.
The rosy freight glow and a pleas
ant woman sitting opposite him has
had no charm for him or his heart
would have been warmed toward such
a home picture, which many a woman
whom he has met has probably uncon-
sciously suggested. He has knowingly,
aye, willingly, passed by opportunities.
Modest women can do no more than
to smile ut him with their bright eyes
when they meet him and extend him
an invitation to call. They would
willingly get up just such appetizing
dishes as he would like II he yer to
be at their table. No one knows bet
ter than the single man that no mat
ter where he would choose to dine,
whether 1t be at restaurants or hotels,
he is expected to select what he wants
with dispatch and make no delay In
getting through with as little time as
possible. There's a hungry crowd of
people ready to dine standing In line
waiting for his place. No one bids
him welcome as he enters or expresses
the hope that he will soon come again
when he takes his departure.
He goes out into the storm with no
one to care whether he has an UNI
brella or what becomes of him. How
different had he been dining with
some sweet woman who was interest
ed in his welfare. How gratifying to
know that there was no undue haste
and that he could take time to enjoy
the wholesome, appetizing home cook
ing set before him. Who but a woman
interested In him would be anxious to
know IL he were pleased with his din
ner or not, glad to have him linger as
long as he would at the table?
Every single man understands both
of the picture. He knows better
than you can tell him that his loneli-
ness Is self-inlicted. He who gives
himself up to day dreaming over the
happiness OF others and his " dis
comforts should remember that he Is
