Daily stock Letter.

Evening Post.l

Evening Post.]
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-An advance
in foreign exchange-which occurred
partly in the late afternoon yesterday
and partly today-brought rates near
ly Y cent above Mondays lowest fig
ures and IN above the months bot
tom rate, On January IA.
This advance is precisely what was
predicted and expected when it be-
came SO clearly evident, at the time
our rate stood we'll below the gold
import point, that this market neither
needed, nor desired to add to Its gold
reserves through import.
1t Is probable that hereafter as the
operations last referred to continue.
the rate will gravitate towards the
normal par or exchange.
Both stocks and bonds were per-
sistently strong. In several instances,
prices of bonds made further note
worthy advances. Stocks moved only
fractional and on a scale of activity
much reduced from last week, but the
market was distinctly firm. The Lon
don stock exchange again showed
signs Of cautious increase in business
and consols maintaineG their slightly
higher level.
In general the day seemed to give
further evidence that the forward
movement in values here had halted
awaiting fresh developments in the
news or the general situation: but
that the atmosphere OF newly created
financial confidence was quite un-
changed.

Grain Review.

United Press Leased Wire Service.]
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-All high price
records for the present crop Of all
grains were broken today and the
highest marks of many years set on
the local board of trade. July futures
forged ahead of May options in point
Of activity. During the day there was
disclosed a greatly oversold condition
of the market and except through the
adjustment to higher level Of values
the condition was difficult to remedy.
Wheat opened today from 4 to "a up
over yesterdays close. There were
recessions early following reports that
Argentine crop out. Then began the
and July options at 1919. Toward the
close there were recessions, final
prices for the day being 1461s and
1301a for May and July wheat respec-
lively
Corn reached the high prices of
SO7s and IA during the day. At no
time did prices go below 1895 and
sos. The close was S011z and S13s,
which represented advances Of from Il
to q over the opening. Heavy export
buying and the rising tendency in
wheat caused the high prices.
Oats acted with wheat and corn.
Heavy export buying continued in oats
aided the advance. At one time oats
were quoted at $685. and 5G5s. Clos
ing prices were $685. and 561S.
Provisions started generally lower
but closed at advances over the open
ing in sympathy with grains.

Auto Widens perce ption.

More motor cars make good roads,
and more good roads make more mo-
tor cars. says the ST. Louis Globe.
Democrat. AS motor vehicles multi
ply people travel more and cover long
er distances in an hour or a day. With
such ready and familiar facilities. see
ing America first is an idea always in
mind, leading to a better comprehen.
sion OF the resources and opportuni
ties, as well as the beauties Of our
own country.
An increase Of definite knowledge
in these respects adds to the devel-
opment and wealth of Americans, also
to their individual and social enjoy
ment. 1t is not many years since the
honk OF an approaching motor car
caused a rush to the windows to see
the novel thing in locomotion go by.
Now the quarter OF a million motor
cars in the United States make one Of
the commonest sights in the streets
and along the highways. All this is
the creation of little more than o
decade.

CAN USE ELECTR|Cs
Their Employment in Norway
Has Been Found to Be
Feasible.
HlLLY COUNTRY NOT A BAR
Report Of Consulate General Tends to
AitersOpinions Previously Formed
Says Tourists Cars Could
Be Supplied With Power
cheaply.

The Christiania consulate general
electric cars and their chance Of sale
in Norway, and from the information
obtained on those occasions 1t was
concluded that because OF the many
hills in Norway the use OF such a
vehicle would not be practicable. An
address delivered recently by Arthur
Bjerke. an electrical engineer, ap-
parently changes the previous reports
on this subject, for Mr.. Bjerke con-
siders the electric car Of the present
day well adapted to road conditions
in Norway. He said, in part:
The type Of car most used. and,
therefore, especially worthy OF men
tion, is the 'electromobile,' provided
with battery that drives one or two
e!ectromotors. When the battery is
discharged it can be recharged while
remaining in It's place or be exchanged
for a new charged battery.
1T is incorrect to say that car
OF this type can be driven only for
short distances and on fat. good
roads, as it has demonstrated its abil-
ity to traverse hilly country and TO
&C more than one hundred miles on
single charge. In America and Eng
land it is used in as hilly country as
any in Norway. The motor in an cleo
tric car can for a short time be over
loaded 300 per cent IL necessary to
take a steep hill. The electromobile
is not essentially heavier than the gas
oline car; its manipulation is so sim
pie that anyone can drive it, and in
Norway, at least. it is more economi-
cal than the gas car. II runs silently
and without odor. and the wear and
tear is in every respect less than for
the gasoline car"
An American accumulating battery
was referred to by the speaker as the
strongest and the one most Used, but
a Swedish battery is said to be similar
to the American make mentioned by
United States Consul Haakon E. Dahr,
Jr.. stationed at Christiania, who
writes:
Statistics from the electrical works
at christian n snow tnat at certain
hours Of the day there are many kilo-
watts Of current not disposed of which
could be sold at a reasonable price.
The greater number Of private auto
mobiles and all the tourist cars in
Norway run only in the summer. and
that is the time when the electrical
works have the most superfuous pow
er. Electric power plants are not far
apart in Norway. and this renders it
possible for a car to travel practically
all over Norway and be recharged
whenever needful. II would not be
surprising II the views expressed by
Mr.. Bjerke, whose lecture has been
copied in practically every newspaper
in the kingdom, will further the sale
OF electric vehicles in Norway"

HEALTH BENEFIT OF YAWNING
Expert Advises Regular Exercises as
Measure for Doing Away With
Throat and Ear Troubles.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides having
salutary effect in complaints OF the
pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawn-
ing is the most natural form of res
piratory exercise. bringing into ac-
tion all the respiratory muscles of
the neck and chest. II is recon-
mended that every person should
have a good yawn with the stretching
of the limbs morning and evening for
the purpose of ventilating the lungs
and tonifying the respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form Of gymnastics has remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles, and says that patients suffer
ing from disorders OF the throat have
derived great benefit from it. He says
he makes his patients yawn, by sug-
gestion or imitation, or by series Of
deep breaths with the lips partly
closed.
The yawning is repeated six Or
seven times, and should be followed
by swallowing. By this process the
air and mucus in the eustachian tubes
are aspirated.
Tombstone epitaph. (Tombstone, Ariz.) 1887-current, 1915-11-07

The first requisite OF a brake is
that it shall stop the vehicle quick.
ly. An automobile travelling at the
rate Of 80 miles an hour goes A feet
a second. the velocity being the same
as it would acquire in falling down .
height Of 55 feet. II will be readily
understood that applying q positive
stop to the wheels when going at
such q speed would only result in the
cars sliding ahead and inviting ruin
to the tires and mechanism.
One Of the first principles Of brak-
ing is that a brake must never be
applied hard enough to stop the rota.
tion Of the wheels. The easiest and
surest braking consists Of q gradually
increasing and powerful retardation
which just suffices to bring the wheels
and the vehicle to a stop altogether.

Crinoline in History.

The oft-threatened return of the
crinoliDe. prophesied by alarmists of
fashion. leaves us all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from forbidden admirer.
According to pictures OF Queen Eliza.
beth she was the first to wear 1t in
England. a writer in the st. Louis
Post Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore 1t for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such. provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that Of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts OF these were
simply widened at the bottom.
