BIC BANKS HOARD
Their GOLD TILL
STRIFE IS ENDED
Big Investors Not Buying
Stocks Now But Are Pill
ing Up Supplies of
Ready Cash.
SPECTATORS ARE WARNED
Outside Plungers Responsible
For Advance In Prices Of
So-called War Stocks,
Experts Say.

New York. Aug. 31.-Despite the re-
n sensational advances in the price
of stocks, particularly speculative is
sues and the so called war shares"
the big investors and bankers are not
buying, according to the best authority
obtainable. On the other hand the
really big investors are boarding their
cash and piling up big bank accounts
In anticipation of better investment OPP
portunities after peace a been de-
clared.
According to information obtained by
Roger w. Babson, the statistical ex-
pert. and other interviewers, J. P. Nor
a was one of the first to AXE the
lead In boarding gold. 1t is understood
in New York that Morgan sold his con-
troll of the Equitable Life Assurance
company to General Du Pont, the
powder magnate, in payment for a
war contract, taking his pay from the
gold shipped to this country by Great
Britain in settlement for var supplies.
Foresee New Conditions.
Big investors are said to hold to the
belief That the securities Of all the
belligerent nations will be greatly de-
pressed in value as the result of the
present conflict. The securities of those
nations hat come out of the war in the
best financial condition, however, will
quickly advance in value. Heavy in
vestment by Americans will, in fact,
tend to cause them to advance, it is
thought.
Recent financial statements of New
York banks, particularly the National
City bank, which is the second largest,
If not the largest, bank in the world,
show an enormous increase In the gold
reserve. The reserve now far exceeds
the legal requirements.
Fictitious valus, it is claimed, have
in many instances been given to the SO
called war stocks or war babies as
they are known in trade p~arlance, by
the investing public. There has been
a great deal of speculation largely by
outsiders. The so called lambs" have
been more numerous than in many
months heretofore.
Lambs Still Wear Fleece.
AS yet there has been no general
"shearing'' of the flock, but conserva-
tive investors and brokers repeatedly
have warned the small investors and
spectators that the speculative market
Is particularly dangerous. A sudden
cessation Of hostilities In Europe, it is
pointed out, inevitably would result In
a decided slump in the value Of Sc
curities that have advanced on the
strength of war orders from abroad.
Just how much speculation has been
done by the stockholders n directors
of the corporations profiting by war
orders is uncertain. The see-saw course
of some stocks it is thought indicate
inside manipulation.

THE NEEDS OF FARMERS WIVES.

The government has just issued a
third bulletin discussing the needs of
farmers wives. The farmers wife
has been considered a beast Of burden.
In old times some OF the heaviest
tasks of the farm were laid on her
shoulders Churning, butter making,
milking, were some of her special
fields. Added to cooking. washing,
house cleaning. sweeping. ETC., IL made
a very toilsOme life.
The farmer would have lis hours Of
respite when he would take a pleasant
drive into the market town TO get the
mail, make purchases and deliver pro-
duce. Theoretically he was engrossed
in business. Actually he spent many
hours Of diverting gossip along the
curbstones. 1t was not often that his
wife went on these pleasant little jun
kets She was too busy
Butter making is now done more in
creameries and factories. Milking is
sometimes done by machinery. and the
farm hand does 1t much more than the
wife today. A good many farmers do
have some conveniences like running
water, sewing machines, better kitchen
tools. But it's a safe guess that the
farmers wife works longer than the
farmer even today.
1t is sometimes said that many
farmers wives go crazy. The work
may seem quiet, but the mOnotony
may allow the mind TO become NOR
bid. With the ever ready telephone
on hand TO exchange gossip after
breakfast, the loneliness is less acute
now.
Probably Wholesome recreation
would do more to amelorate the lives
of farmers wives than any household
luxury or modern machinery. Some
one notes that in a certain town an
improvement society went 10 work
and got up a monthly series of old
time country dances. The city people
snickered at them, in these days OF
fox-trots and one-steps. But no dane
ing master at $500 per hour was re-
quired TO teach them and they gave
expression to the desire for rhythmic
motion just as we'll as the latest
Broadway twinkle. And the farmers
families would talk about one Of these
dances for a week afterward. No
complaints of loneliness in that town!

POOR TIME TO OPEN STREET

Editor News-Times:
Will you print this protest from a

emphatically, that this is no time to

the rich-are pretty nearly taxed to
death already.
A city is not entitled, any more than
an individual, to have everything il
wants, and just when it wants IL. We
all want lots of things that we don't
need. Let us try, for a change, TO be
more economical, and less wasteful
and extravaganza, and cut out some of
our whims and farcieS.
We were told that our present city
administration was going TO do won
ders of economy IF my memory
serves me right, the previous admin
istration "scotched" this same Will

not kill II. Anyhow IL seems TO be
coming to life again; and if the real
taxpayers don't look out, the job will
now be put through all right-all
right A few people will receive very
handsome gifts for their old proper
ties; and the masses will have to dig
down into their nearly empty pockets
to pay the price.
Now is the time to speak out. This,
apparently is not a matter which OBJ
jectOrs can safely leave to the judy
ment Of the present administration.
Respectfully submitted, y. Y.

FUND FOR DESTITUTE MUSICIANS.

Fritz Kreisler has every reason to
be pleased with the response the pub
lie has made this winter to his appeal
for money 10 help destitute musicians
and their families who are in Vienna.
The condition of the musicians and
music teachers in Vienna the past
winter has been unutterably bad. Sur
fering among them has been really
acute. 1t was Mrs. Kreisler. who is an
American woman. who conceived the
idea that Mr.. Kreisler sell autograph
ed photographs Of himself at one dol
lar each, the entire proceeds to be de-
voted to this very worthy cause. AS
result of this Mr.. Kreisler has been
able alrea iy TO send several thousand
dollars TO the committee in Vienna
which has charge Of this work and in
addition TO this money he has sent
very considerable part of his own
earnings. 1t is interesting 10 know
that some OF the recipients Of this re-
loef are American music students who
have been unable to get home and
whose funds have been held up by
one reason or another.
