How We Look

1T is not generally realized, but the eye
sees only point distinctly at any one
time. AS you read this print examine
closely what you see, holding the eyes
still: it will be only part of one letter. To
read anything, if it was necessary for the
eye to travel round each separate letter,
no one could possibly read very fast; but
here indirect vision comes in. Only when
the letters are unfamiliar does the eye
have to crawl around laboriously-as is
evidenced by man learning to read.
Now, as it is impossible for the eyes to
be focused upon anything but one single
point at any one time, it is impossible to
look anybody in the eyes. When man
says then, @Look me in the eye,' that is
in fact all that one can do; for he cannot
look man in both eyes at the same time.
AS matter of fact, when going through
this operation it is generally the case that
the eyes of the locker travel rapidly from
one eye to the other of the lookee. This
is easily proved by trial.
Curiously enough, direct vision is not
the most acute. A smaller object than
possibly may be seen by looking straight
at it may be seen by looking just to one
side of it. The particular spot on the retina
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-04-25

where this anomaly takes place is well
known in physiology, and is called the
yellow spot on account of its color. AS
it is not directly behind the pupil, we can
not get the image of an object on it by
looking straight at the object. Of course
this view Of an object is more or less I'M
satisfactory; but it enables one to see
things that otherwise could not be seen at
all without the aid of glass. This prac-
tice is in use by astronomers in looking
for a dim star when they know about
where it ought to appear in the sky.
There is only one spot in the retina that
is absolutely devoid Of vision. An image
falling on it will not be seen at all. 1t is
called the @blind spot, and is at the point
where the optic nerve enters the retina.
There are no nerve endings at this particu-
lar spot, and Of course, therefore, no power
of cognition. Make two black spots or
crosses about three inches apart on a
piece of paper. Close the right eye and
look at the right-hand spot, moving the
paper to some distance in front of the eye.
At all places but one the second cross on
the paper will be seen by indirect vision;
but at one particular position it cannot be
seen at all.

There was nothing against
the girl

but still people wagged their
heads. They spoke of her as
"the girl who was talked about"
and the subtle reproach of it
hung about her all through her
girlhood. There is a girl like her
in almost every town-and no
one can measure the bitter sor-
row that is caused because people
who have nothing to talk about
still persist in talking.
Sometimes the girl achieves
her vindication in a way that
brings her traducers kneeling
at her feet. At least one such
girl did. You'll meet her next
week, "The Girl Who Was
Talked About" by Katharine
Holland Brown.
If you have $4,000
it doesn't make any difference
whether you leave will or not;
but if your whole earthly fortune
is something like $500, and you
die without will, your heirs are
likely to find themselves penni-
less. The expense of proving
their right to the $500 will have
eaten it up. William Hamilton

For President, Torchy
N the present unsettled po-
l. litical situation, when all the
parties are casting about for
suitable candidates, we venture
to suggest the name of the Hon
orable Torchy. In the contest
mentioned above his name was
first in almost every letter.
Judged by the results of this

country. Which reminds us that
there is another Torchy story

Saxon Cars Are Breaking
All Sales Records

Saxon design and construction, too, are
modern. The small bore. high speed
type motor which Saxon was first to adopt
is coming to be distinctly the vogue.
Makers of highest priced cars in this
country are adopting this type of motor.
Saxon uses dry plate clutch, sliding
gear transmission, honeycomb radiator,
Atwate-Kent igpition-all evidence of
its class and up-to-dateness.

The Modern Idea:
Greater Service, Less Cost

The Saxon Is modern for other reasons,
too. 1t is the embodiment in a motor car
of Effic ency and Economy, which are
the order Of the day everywhere. To
get more service at saving in cost
that's the modern idea. The telephone,
the typewriter, the cash register, the
adding machine are examples familiar to
all of us.
And the 1895 Saxon Is as wonderful an
efficiency machine, as epoch making in
the benefits it can bestow on large num-
Der Of people, as any of the above named
modern day wonders of the world"

The stocks were identified by entries
in the transfer books Of the issuing
companies. To the extent that they
may be carried in the names of do
nestle bankers, brokers or :nstitu-
tons for foreign holders, It is pointed
out that the amount would be under
stated. Mr.. Loree's inquiries, however,
indicate that such holdings will not
exceed sl50,000,000 par value. Mr..
Loree adds:
There are held in Great Britain
many Of these securities by life and
fire insurance companies that are like
" to be held against calamities. There
are also large amounts held by trus-
tees and people Of large means in
that and other countries likely to be
retained as insuring an income against
any possibility Of disaster.
ait is believed that this information
is Of such general Importance, as well
as Of such particular Importance 70

tinuance Of this investigation, esPe-
cially in view Of the large amounts OF
these securities that have since the
beginning of the European war been
returned TO this market. Blanks will,
therefore, be sent later in the year TO

the request that information be re-
ported for the six months July ! TO

p. Loree. president Of the Della
ware 4 Hudson Company, who was
asked BY bankers last fall 70 head a
committee Of railway executives Tor
the purpose Of determining the amount
Of railroad securities held abroad. has
Just completed his efforts. Requests
FOR information were sent 70 l46 rail-
road corporations. being all the rail-
roads In the United States above one
hundred miles in length.
Replies were received from 1873 com
panies. One hundred companies fur
nished statements Of securities held
abroad, while thirty-siI replied that
none OF their securities was so owned
Eight companies have not vet replied.
Seven are Of minor importance and one
of medium importance, the combined
mileage being 1925 miles, but 1t is
stated their reports at any event would
not materially affect the general total.
Mr.. Loree states that the informa-
ton obtained by him was determined
from data collected between October
1914, and April. 1915. and because dur
ing that period there have been large
sales Of securities for foreign account
IN the American markets IL must be
remembered that 70 such an extent his
figures would be overstated.
Report on French Holdings
There are held In France. Mr.. Loree
also points put. several hundred mill

the French government. Where such

Of such bonds in default. however. Mr..

TO SUBMIT PLAN
ENDING RECEIVER
Wabash Pittsburgh Termi-
nal Railway Commit
tee Report To-day.
SECURITY HOLDERS
TO DECIDE QUESTION
First and Second Mortgage
Bondholders Would Get
Control of Properties.

The plan 20 take out Of receivership
the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Rail
way Company, organized more than ten
years ago to be the connecting link in
the then proposed Gould transconti-
mental railway system, has been hnally
approved by the committees represent
ing the frst and second mortgage bonds
and is being submitted 70 the holders
o. those securities to-day.
After the company was thrown into
receivership in 1908, the committees
made several attempts to draft read
justment plans, but these were aban-
doned, first, because of the Balkan war,
and last summer further attempts at
reorganization were delayed by the out
break Of the European war. On an
other occasion the committee was about
10 promulgate a plan when the recelv-
ership of the Wabash Railroad necessi-
tated its abandonment.
The plan now submitted by the re-
organization committee, of which James
n. Wallace, president of the Central
Trust Company, is chairman, assures
70 the new company to be organized
complete independence, and gives TO the
asserting bondholders the absolute and
entire control of the property.
As has been previously outlined In
oursory form, the plan calls for an as
sessment Of $500 on each $1,000 first
mortgage bond in the issue of S30,296,-
600. In return, the bondholders will
get $500 for each bond from an issue Of
s9,100,0O0 new per cent cumulative
preferred stock, $1,000 from s30,500, 600
new common stock, S2S in existing
Wheeling & Lake Erie first preferred
stock or trust certificates representative
thereof, 1910 in existing Wheeling &
Lake Erie second preferred stock or
trust certificates and $500 in existing
Wheeling & Lake Erie common stock
or trust certificates.
The second mortgage bonds will be
permitted 70 acquire the securities Of
fered under the plan not taken by the
first mortgage bonds upon payment of
the 80 per cent assessment. The plan
is not underwritten and there is not
included in the cash requirements any
provision for the compensation Of an
underwriting syndicate.
The s9,070.800 cash raised by the
assessment on the bonds will be used
in paying off s2,395,8SO receivers GER
tifcates Of the Terminal company;

Side Belt and other claims, S3,SlS,152;
receivership obligations in excess of
surplus, taxes, judgments, etc, sS75,-
945; other claims, S1,767,137.
Under the reorganization the present
capitalization will be reduced from
S91, 260,345 to S44,700.868. Fixed in
terest charges will be cut from ST.
7s3,252 a year TO 1851, JOB, decrease
of S2,522,149 Holders of the first and
second mortgage bonds are requested
TO signify their approval Of the plan
by September l.
The present stock Of the Wabash
Pittsburgh company, amounting to
s10,O00,O00, all owned by the Wabash
Railroad, will get nothing in the re-
organization. The 81 per cent stock
ownership Of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie will be divorced from the new
Terminal company with the arrange
ment for turning over the assets to
the bondholders, who pay the assess
ment as outlined above.
In q statement TO the Wabash Pitts
burgh Terminal reorganization conf =
tee, II. F. Baker, receiver of the prop
erty, says:
"The plan is in effect the payment
OF Indebtedness prior TO the bonds
save such as by the terms Of the plan
are left undisturbed-and will result
in giving TO the bondholders of the
Terminal company, who are its real
owners. the control Of the properties
I believe the prospects for the future
are bright and that with the owners
in control Of their property, the vexa-
tious legal complications out of the
way, and the fixed interest charges
eliminated TO the extent provided by
the plan, the properties under normal
business conditions and with compe-
tent management will make much
better showing than Is possible under
any receivership."
