SHARP REACTION
in WALL STREET
Industriials Drop From One to
Ten Points Because Specu-
lation Is Lacking.
BROKERS WANT MARGINS
Weakening Spell Expected During
Early Minutes Today. But Strength
Is Expected to Follow.

New York, Oct. Sowing 20 the over
bought condition of the industrial market
and the closing out of weakly margined
accounts, the stock market experienced
sharp reaction today. In the midst OF
the break. which ran from one tc nearly
ten points, the maximum loss being IN
Baldwin Locomotive. the railroads dis
played firm undertone. illustrating the
lack of speculation in these shares.
1rregularity prevailed at the opening
with American Car and Foundry show
ing an overnight decline of six and
quarter points. due to the company's
statement relative to the amount Of war
orders on hand and the amount of orders
for cars on its books. Following the first
fifteen minutes, the lower level Of prices
stimulated increased demand for
stocks, resulting in substantial re-
covery but when this of buying
exhausted itself there was a vigorous
bear raid which resulted in the closing
out Of weakly margined accounts and the
uncovering of stop-loss orders. which. in
turn. caused declines ranging from one
to more than eleven points.
A substantial recovery from this low
level was followed by another weakening
spell in the last hour. closing prices be-
ing near the low. Conservative brokers
were inclined to look for a continual ton
OF the decline in the first hour tomorrow
from tllt compulsory SlOSilS oul VI az
counts the owners Of which are not eX-
pected to answer the calls for additional
margin But commission houses late to-
day were receiving orders to buy on
whatever dip might occur tomorrow. so
that these buying orders are expected to
have a substantial influence.
Spectators Get "Short Stock"
Spectators who have been looking for
a break in the induStrials but who lacked
the nerve TO follow their convictions
heretofore, assumed the short side late
today several houses reporting they had
short stock" for the first time in sew
cral months.
Brokers were busy this evening send
ing out calls for additional margin. No
tices sent out by a stock exchange forl
the first time in the memory OF brokers)
informing them that the acceptance OF
an account for a customer without proper
and adequate margin would he considered
an act detrimental to the interest and
welfare of the exchange, accelerated
their efforts in the direction of safety.
To look at the borrowing rates of
stocks one would imagine that there is
a large short interest in the rails. There !
is an unusual borrowing demand for
rails at this time, not because of the eX-
istence of large short interest but be- !
caused the banks are insisting that more
rails be used as collateral in loans and
the brokers want the stocks to "sweeten |
their collateral As speculation Is great

borrowing demand for the rails Tor uSc

BULL PEN is AMUSING GAME
II 10 Pastime Father and Grandfather
lnduised In When They Were
Boys-How II Is Played.

How many OF you boys know how
to play bull pen? 1t is game father
and grandfather used to play when
they were boys and Just because 1t is
SO old, it's probably new. You mark
out big square on the playground
and have one boy stand at every cor.
ner.
II there are many players and the
square Is large. you may put a player
on the middle Of every side also. As
many players stand In the center Of
the square as are on the corners and
sides. The boys on the corners throw
the ball around the square once. then
whoever has the ball throws 1t towards
the center of the square.
II he hits anyone. that player Is out.
and whoever gets the ball must throw
1t at someone in the square and try
to put him out. When all but two OF
the players on either side are caught.
these two go and hide for moment.
When they come back they have
their hands behind-them go the other
players cannot see who has the ball.
When a player gets close to the boy
with the ball the boy hits him with
the ball and he is caught. When all
but one on a side js caught, that side
is beaten.

Fox-HUNTERs IN THE WAR
Thousands Of Men Who Enjoyed That
Sport In Britain Are Now at
the Front.

Waterloo, according to the duke OF
Wellington. was won on the playing
fields of Eton. Should Britain emerge
triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that the campaign in Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox-hunting.
which most humanjtarians denounce.
George Bernard Shaw, for example.
has no words strong enough to con-
denim It with. Mr.. Jorrocks. the hero
OF a sporting novel. describing fox
hunting as war without Its guilt and
only 25 per cent Of It's danger" II has
to be admitted, however. that they
who follow the hounds have answered
magnificently to their country's call
There are. 1t proves. $50 masters OF
hounds with the British colors, 5000
members of hunts and 1 500 hunt serv-
ants. To them must be added the Of
ficers of the regular army who are ac.
customed to ride to hounds, likewise
numbering some thousands. The total
Is an impressive one. It suggests that
the real attraction OF this sport may
be that 1t is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort
of war"

The squirrel was delighted to be
mistaken for an animal SO large, and
he told her he was.
Where is your trunk" she asked.
This is my trunk" said the squir-
rel. waving his long bushy tail.
Gray Hen stared with wide-opened
eyes. well, am glad to know you
are no larger" she said. 81 thought
you would be as large as horse, any
how"
A dog ran through the bushes and
the squirrel scampered away. A man
followed, and seeing the hen, he
picked her up by her legs and walked
toward the boat.
Here is luck" he said, seeing the
boat. Jump In. Rover; we will row
across"
When they reached the barnyard he
threw the Hen out Of the boat and
away she ran to the Pig pen.
Madam Pig" she called, 81 want to
tell you l have seen a great deal
since last saw you. have sailed
around the world and seen many queer
things"
You don't say so." said Madam Pig.
what did you seer
"Oh, l saw trees with big berries
growing on them. which ate, and a
great ocean, and saw an elephant.
Why. the elephant is not as large as
you are. only he has much larger
trunk, as he calls it, but l thought it
was his tail"
well, WE'LL" said the Pig. Madam
Duck does not know as much as you
do She never could tell what he
looked like. You certainly are very
wise hen."
So the Gray Hen was satisfied. The
Pig thought her wiser than the Duck.
and she ran away to tell the others
what she had seen.

boxes at the opera house the other
evening and said:

Mr.. Highbrow chuckled and shook

"At the same time" he resumed,

"How so?"
"She hasn't much on 'er in her own

Whether to be worn to gather vege-
tables or flowers from the garden or
to 20 a.marketing in the morning or
for the drive about the country every
woman wants becoming headwear.
And 1t seems she is destined to be
grattfied, for the garden hats and sun
bonnets of today are as carefully
planned as the dress hats with which
feir women fortify themselves to meet
the critical eyes of their peers.
Cretonnes, ginghams, chambrays. and
new fancy cotton weaves have been
brought into unfamiliar service and
used in new ways to evolve the home
made headwear that is illustrated in
the picture given here. Even the
plain little sunbonnet manages to be
becoming and prettily frivolous. while
1t fulfills its mission of shading the
eyes and protecting the neck.
Some Of the new cotton fabrics, such
as cotton gabardine or cotton poplin.
are of just the right weight and body
for these pretty bonnets. Plain white
tape or binding braid makes an at
tractive finish and adds to the firmness
of edges and shapeliness Of the capes
and brims. There Is quite a variety
in paper patterns for making them and
they are designed to be easily laun-
dered. There are the time-honored
Einghams and ,chambrays. more beau
tifully colored than ever. to be used.
and combinations OF plain and figured
fabrics where fanciful bonnet for the
