Large Expansion in Loans.
Seasoned Railway Securities
Are Again in Popular Favor

NEW YORK, October 9.-The shift
from war brides to seasoned railway
stocks was the most significant and
gratifying feature of another very ac-
tive week in securities. The change was
long in coming. but rapid progress was
recorded once the movement got I'M
der way. many of the transportation
shares making their best prices of the
year.
Various reasons are being offered to
explain the sudden transfer Of specula-
tion from specialties to investment is
sues. The most cogent of these is the
belief that investors are gradually
awakening to the fact that railway is
sues have not yet discounted the coun-
conditions. The brilliant prospects
presented by the latest crop report
also served to heighten interest in that
quarter of the stock list
Warned by Danger Signals.
Danger signals hoisted by the stock
exchange and financial institutions as
warning against further unbridled
trading in the war specialt!es was a
forceful remi-der of the risks attend
ing operations in issues Of unknown
merit.
1t is evident. however. that some of
Tic COIn-
panies now working at high pressure
on contracts are bound to distribute
some of their profits to shareholders in
the course of time. More discrimina-
ton will be shown. Ii is believed, in
the future speculative selection of
these issues.
The record of the steel industry Is
one of steady growth. and higher
prices for many finished products are
believed to be under consideration.
September untitled tonnage of the
United States Steel Corporation shows
an increase of over 100000 tons in ex-
cess of the preceding month. bringing
the total of untitled orders up to the
highest figures since the middle of
1913, when the general price schedule
was materially lower.

International conditions, including

ANTS TALK WITH "FEELERS"
One of the Most Interesting Discov- cries of Insect Life Is That of
 the Antennae Language.

Of the many discoveries that have been made about our insect friends, perhaps the most interesting is that of the antennae language. Many boys and not few girls have watched the movements of a large body of ants, and have been struck by the fact that they seem able to communicate with one another by means of the long, stem-like objects protruding from their heads. These are called in science "antennae," but a good name for them is ''feelers," and a very fit- ting one it is, for when ants are awake and in action, these organs are kept continually moving in front and on either side, touching the various objects in their path, as. though they would feel" their way.
 These ''feelers," at least in the case of ants, are even more important than eyes. They determine. the form of objects; they locate the individual trail or path of their kind; they dis. tinguish friends from foes, they test
