Dear Mrs Thompson: Ny girl
friend and / like a certain Young man
very much He is five years older
than We are. but goes with oar bunch
of young people, who are older than /
am NV brother used to chum with
him. but is in the navy now and writes
to him I accidentally meet him near
ly every Sunday, and of course talk 10
him a little while My friend is of a
Jealous disposition and says that |
run after him when I talk to him She
also tells or hints that I like this
Young man before the other boys Of
our bunch. and Of course 7 feel very
much embarrassed when she does SO.
Now, / wouldn't let him find this out
for anything, Dou you think I run
after him when I talk to him and let
him escort me home from parties?
Do you think she does right when she
tells this since she likes him as well
as I do? Isn't it natural for girls to
want to look nice and be admired. or
is it only vanity? INNOCENT,
II is all right for you TO talk to the
boy and let him take you home Your
friend is Jealous. Don't tell her about
the things you do and she will have
no grounds to tease you
It is perfectly natural 10 want to
be attractive and admired, but it is
vanity to think too much about it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; 7 belong to a
"Cinch" club. Lately there has been
some misunderstanding concerning
prizes. We give first, second and BOBBY
prizes, Now. if A and B are tied for
first prize and they cut the cards, 4
cuts six spot and cuts a five spot,
A being entitled to first prize, does B
come in for second prize or forfeit?
Does c, whose score is second high
est, come in for second prize instead
of B? MRS. z v. T.
B gets the second prize, because she
deserves it more than C,

A Harvest Of Commissions

A broker whose office has done n ire
mendous business In the in~dustrals SON
fides that the conduct of his speculative
customers az times has been positively
appalling. The spectacle of a phenom-
email advance like that In Baldwin" he
said. seems TO produce a species of
speculative hysteria. Spectators rush
In n buy without regard to anything
except that the price In rising. Only
performances count. II Is simply neces-
sary that a stock shall advance and
speculative enthusiasm is
evoked. II Is absurd to talk Of consid-
erations Of intrinsic worth or business
prospects having much to do with the
activities OF his class of spectators.
Even reports OF war business and deals
are a secondary consideration. These
spectators buy q stock on a tip or
because II Is moving. II It continues to
move. they buy more OF IL II II doesn't
move Immediately after
they buy it-they drop II lige hot cakes.
They sell and get into something that
Is on wheels. How can they possibly
be convinced that they are wrong? These
people have Ia a great deal OF
money In the market by gambling furi-
ously In this way. They are going
TO continue to gamble ~furiously until
they lose IT," This is all very true.
Also a speculation of this kind mean
a veritable harvest of commissions for
the brokers.

Reaching for the Top.

Baldwin went TO $50 yesterday, as
had been predicted. Then II promptly
slumped back to 1913. which was not
predicted. but might have been. This
reaction was almost exactly half of the
previous advance. so that 1t might have
been argued that the rise from around
so last week had been paid for. This
would explain the excellent market that
prevailed for the stock up to the close
just under 130. The days market In the
stock developed into a contest by the
boldest traders on the exchange to catch
the top. The traders started reaching
for the top after the stock crossed 100.
II was reported to have been found by
Ike Spiegelberger. who sold the stock
that went at $50. Ike is known as the
nimblest. ablest and most consistently
successful trader on the floor.

GOSSIP OF A R E
Buying.

Tennessee Copper opened wide and
went through so easily enough. II was
described as hard to buy throughout
the day. There was active bidding for
thousand share lots after the close. The
situation regarding Tennessee seems to
be about as follows: The highly profit
able contract with the Russian Govern
ment which has been under negotia-
ton for many weeks has practically
been closed. Differences between the
contracting parties have been settled.
The signature OF "A certain officer of
the now i'll is about all that
Is required to fulfil the contract. That
will be made. 1t is expected. not later
than next week, when official announce
ment OF the contract will he made.
But a new factor has entered into
the market for Tennessee which pres
ages v bigger things than the con-
tract described. This takes the shape
OF mysterious buying of a concentrated
character. The interests which ave
been closely in touch with the market
for a week or more have noticed that
stock has been going out of the Street,
for which they have not been able to
account. While having a very strong
opinion in regard to the intrinsic merits
Of the stock at present prices. they
have SO far been unable to trace the
source OF the present buying. The most
plausible theory Is that the stock Is
being accumulated on behalf OF interests
who have been heavy buyers OF the
company's product In the manufa cture
of war munitions.
The du Pont Powder Company has
bought large quantities OF acids at high
prices. and the Tennessee company as.
an adjunct OF the du Pont company or
other big powder making concerns
would not be an illogical conclusion.
Such a development would depend only
upon the price In such a purchase. The
buying by the du Ponts into the Bald
win has naturally stirred the specula-
tive imagination upon this subject.
