is net clear that the right exists under
the present laws. Connecticut gives
the right but there is doubt whether
Massachusetts gives it to railroad co..
porations. This doubt has been re-
moved by recent Massachusetts, Leg
islatures as to street railway, gas and
electric light companies. There is also
some uncertainty in this respect I'M
der the statutes of Rhode Island. 1t
is now important therefor. to have
the laws made clear 50 that steam
railroad companies can issue preferred
stock as q means of raising money
if market conditions Justify
Acquiring Leased Lines
II was much to be desired President
Elliott added. that Massachusetts should
give to the New Haven the right to
acquire its leased lines upon terms sat
isfactory to the Commonwealth and TO
the respective stockholders of lessor and
lessee lines
The Public Service Commissions OF
New England states nave been confer
ring with each other, and with railroad
officials on the matter of finances for
several months, and 1t is expected that
their reports will be placed before the
legislatures when the latter are asked
ito pass the laws needed to bring about
harmony and to remove unnecessary re-
strictions' according to Mr.. Elliott.
Financial Condition
Discussing the present financial cord-
ton of the New Haven, Mr.. Elliott
said:
In spite Of drastic economies. the
decrease in gross earnings has been so
great that the balance for the past five
months of the present fiscal year is
practically the same as for the cores
ponding period of the previous year. AS
the business Of the subsidiary compan-
les has also fallen off, the receipts by
the New Haven from these companies
during the current year now promise
to be less than last year. On the other
hand advances in rates some of which
have already been permitted recent i'm
provement in the volume together with
further economies. and increased eff
cheney warrant the expectation on June
3eth next the close of the fiscal year of
a balance above all operating expenses
taxes, rentals interest and discounts
of all lines.

Radlum Market cIosed.

The European war has, for the pres.
ent at least, totally closed the Euro.
pean market 10 American radlum ores.
As is well known. the uranium ores OF
Colorado and Utah are sold exclu.
sively for their radium content, so lit.
tie use being known for the uranium
that the ores cannot be sold for their
content Of that element. The condi.
tion OF the European market leaves
the miners without buyer; so that
while the war lasts, and probably for
some time afterward. the market will
be restricted and without the benefit
OF competition. AS has been pointed
out by Secretary OF the Interior Lane,
had the bills introduced in congress
been passed the United States govern.
ment would probably have been In the
market as buyer, and the miner
might now have q chance TO sell his
ore.

AN OYSTER STEW RECIPE
Expert Recommends This as an Un.
usually Appetizing Way Of serv.
Ing the Blvalves.

Fannie Merritt Farmer, cookery edi-
tor Of the Woman's Home Companion,
presents a number of Recipes for
October" in that publication. Among
them is her recipe for Boston oyster
stew, which follows:
Put one quart of oysters In a col
ander and pour over three-fourths
cupful Of cold water. Carefully pick
over oysters, remove tough muscles
from half OF them. and slightly chop
remaining half with removed tough
muscles. Add chopped oysters to wa
ter drained through colander, heat to
the boiling point, and let simmer
!hree minutes. Strain through a
double thickness of cheesecloth, add
reserved solf part Of oyster, and cook
until oysters are plump. Remove
oysters with skinner and put In a
tureen with one-fourth cupful Of but.
ter, one-half tablespoonful Of salt, and
one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper. Add
oyster liquor. strained second time,
and one quart of scalded milk. Al
ways remember to scald milk in q
double boiler. which overcomes the
danger Of scorching. Serve with oys.
ter crackers"

HINTS FOR PRESERVE CLOSET
Picked Peaches Should by All Means
Be Among the Condiments Stored
Branded Cherries.

Picked peaches are a dinner con.
diment of unparalleled excellence,
Many people prefer picked fruit to
the sweeter jellies and preserves and
the good housekeeper always puts up
picked dainties as we'll as preserves,
jellies and jams for her well-stocked
winter fruit closet.
Here is a tried and true recipe for
picked peaches: To seven pounds Of
selected peaches allow half as many
pounds of granulated sugar, one quart
Of vinegar, two ounces each OF stick
cinnamon and cloves. Dissolve the
sugar in the hot vinegar, add the
spices and boil for six minutes; add
the peaches and boil slowly until the
peaches have become soft enough to
be pierced easily by fork. Turn
out the fruit and boil the sirup down
to one-half. Now put in the peaches
again and let the whole just come to
boil. Pour into a deep crock and
cover when cold.
A Virginian housekeeper recon.
mends this recipe for branded cher
ries: Cover large, oxheart cherries
which have been stoned with some
excellent brandy and let stand for 4S
hours. Add to the mixture sugar in
a proportion Of pound for pound. Do
not cook, but seal In glass jars and
set away In cool, dry place. These
cherries are delicious for garnishing
whipped cream and frozen desserts.
They may also be served in home
mixed cocktails.
