Wild Movement in Specials.

Settlement of the main features OF
the s500.0OO 600 International credit
was made the occasion of another wild
movement in the special stocks. The
trading was again of a highly specu-
lative and professional character, the
former element being prominent on the
buying side. while traders sold hoer-
ally. In fact, the market resolved it.
self into a battle royal between these
two elements.
As usual, interest conferred wholly in
the specia1ties which have recently
scored extraor binary gains, railways
and other investment issues being
either neglected or slightly lower. The
few exceptions to this rule were Atch-
ison and Erie,f the latter's fractional
gain presumably resulting from the
company's highly favorable August
earnings. g..
The financial district was again aut-
tered with variety of rumors dealing
with alleged industrial combinations,
deals Or mergers. some Of which poss-
essed the element of possibility but
none of which were confirmable.

Just The Right Present.

Don't take chances in the mat
ter of Christmas presents. You
don't want yours, like so many
others, to be received with indif-
ference or worse, and ten days
after Christmas to be cast aside
and forgotten.
You take no chance in giving
The Youths Companion for a
year.
DID you ever know of a home
in which it came amiss, or Of one
in which it was not conspicuous
on the library table or in some
ones hands all through the year?
1t is worth while to make a
gift of that sort, and it is worth
while to receive it, too, for The
Companion illustrates the best
traits in American life in its sto-
RES and sketches, upholds the
best standards in its articles and
other contributions, and combin-
es the the practical and inform
ing with the entertaining and
blood-stirring.
If you do not know The Com
panion as it is to-day, let US send
YOU one or two current issues
free, that you may thoroughly
test the papers quality. We will
send also the Forecast for 1916.
Every new subscriber who
sends $500 for the ffty-two
weekly issues of 1916 will receive
free all the issues for the rest of
1915 and The Companion Home

Ninety Per Cent of Unimproved
Roads

Notwithstanding the strides
made in road improvement, data
furnished by the. American High
way Association show that there
is plenty of room for progress in
bodybuilding.
1t appears that there were in
the United States last year g.
240, 900 miles of public roads on
ly 10 per cent of which are class
ed as improved roads. Last
year the expenditures on account
of road construction, including
the estimated value of convict
labor, made by states, counties,
townships and districts aggre-
gated about $295, 600, 900.
Ten years ago the expenditures
on this account amounted to ap-
proximately $40, 600, 900 and the
difference between these two
sums shows that there has been
a great advance in the demand
for improved public highways.
But with 80 per cent of the
roads over which the people trav-
: ell and do business unimproved. it
, is clear that so far the surface
has scarcely been scratched.
In the German Empire in Eu.
! rope, which covers less territory
than the single American state Of
5 Texas, there are $4,000 miles Of
S state road and in Prussia alone
the annual expenditure on the
e public rosds amounts to abou
d $35, 600, 900.
t In England and Wales, less il
It area than the state of Florida
there $50, 908 miles of public roads
e of which 27, 826 miles are wha
n are called main roads" and 1923,
