Asked If he based his prediction in
part on the Administrators plans for
connecting the manless job and the job
less man, Secretary Lane said that
while this effort of the Labor Depart
ment is expected to help, his confidence
is due to a general trend toward better
conditions.
MANY industries, of course. are bene-
fitted by the war in Europe, Many more
will be benefited by its end, when the
end comes. Even the steel mills, work
ing overtime on war orders, will find an
increased domestic demand-an accu-
mulated demand because Of orders un-
filled now.
The rebuilding process in Europe Is
going to call on American industries
more extensively than the war has.
One product that will feel the call Is
lumber. But, aside from the part Eu-
rope has played in depressing business
generally. while helping some lines,
there cannot be any doubt that good

Interest in the trading on the Wash

After 100 shares had sold at SSl5,

S9A. The buying broker was still on
the floor for more OF the stock at the
last price, but. finding no further Of
ferings, established the bid quotation
at IS.
Prices generally were firmer, but the

HEAVY BUYING ON
NEW YORK MARKET
Short Interests Re-estabIished
Long Lines, Checking Re-
action of Yesterday.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Heavy buying
by the public, coupled with the meager
offerings of stock, caused short inter-
ests to re-establish long lines today,
thus checking the reaction that develop
ed in the market yesterday with the
Bethlehem furry. and sending price
levels generally higher. The advances
in the standard issues measured from
one-half to more than two points. and
in the specialties ranged much broader
Bethlehem Steel the sky rocketing in
which yesterday upset the whole mar
ket, again fiuctuated sharply In the
early trading, recording In the first few
minutes an advance of 10 full points
over yesterdays last figures by selling
at lib. Within a few minutes. however,
the price had fallen to iO4. only to re-
cover almost as quickly to Ill. At that
price II remained comparatively stable
until noon when 1t again advanced to
ia.
While there was no definite news to
account for the sensational activity
in the stock, there were again nu-
merous rumors on the oor. the latest
being that Henry C. Frick had ac-
quired control of the Bethlehem
Corporation by purchasing major
ity of the 10000 shares of common
stock in the open market.
Bethlehem, however, did not over
shadow the market to the extent that
States Steel shares enjoyed a good
market and recorded substantial
gains. The common sold up nearly
threet points in the early trading to
H2as, and the preferred advanced a
full point to 10S.
Next to Bethlehem the widest price
changes occurred in the motor stocks.

''THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ADVEN-
TURE"

[From the New York Worldl
The last reported words of Charles
Frohman on the deck of the Lusitania
may owe somewhat of their epigram-
matte form to the foreshortening eff
feet of a vivid memory. In substance,
many men in like circumstances might
have echoed them: "Why fear death? /?
It is the most beautiful adventure in
life"
There were many American gentle
men upon the stricken ship. and many
of other races and lands. who If they
feared death made no sign of It. 1t is
no new story; the sinking of the IT.
tanic showed how Astor and Harris
and Butt and the Strauses could die
simply without heroics. 1t is the ex-
pected and traditional memory of bit
ter events, the unfailing lesson and
assuagement of disasters.
The war has shown that men need no
glitter of gold lace to lure or blare Of
trumpets to lead them to their death
Duty and country call as inexorably
to -mud-stained men in trenches whose
taded senses no music stlrs or cheer
ing heartens. Not even the habit of
discipline was present to aid the pas
sengers of the Busitanla in their last
hours. They died like men because
they were men. Theirs was in truth
a beautiful adventure.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY IL
YOUR NEIGHBoR's EYE

TNASMUCH as Harrisburg has a
larger quota of automobiles than
the average place of this size, those
who own machines should not forget
their neighbors in their inspection of
the attractions of their home city. AS
the cavalry is the eye of the army, so
should the automobile owner be the
eve of his neighbor when 1t comes to
full enjoyment of the beautiful things
of Harrisburg.
There is so much here OF which we
have a right to be proud that those
who cannot get about and see for
themselves ought to be helped by their
more fortunate fellow w-citizens. Long
ago the attitude of the resentment
against the improvement of the city
disappeared in most quarters. This is
largely owing to the fact that unusually
good street railway facilities have
made 1t possible for men, women and
children to get about so that they may
see for themselves what wonderful
changes have been wrought through
the activities of the people and their
municipal agents. Our great park sys-
tenn, including the unrivaled river
front; the Fairgrounds. the increas-
ingly attractive residential districts.
the many fine business places-all
these have drawn people into the open
and inspired them to still greater
efforts in the making of a city beautiful
here on the Susquehanna.
II in INN that cit,y -H,o,,I1
know itself and II is not sufficient that
the thousands of strangers who visit us
from time to time should sing our
praises. We ourselves should have an
intimate knowledge of what is going
on and what has already been accom-
51lished. 1t should not be forgotten
for one moment that the making of an
attractive city is the making of bet
ter citizenship and a more wholesome
and sane community in every way.
Through the activities of the Civic
Club and other municipal bodies the
esthetic features of our development
are being earnestly encouraged.
BY the planting Of flowers and
grass plots and the making of beautiful
lawns and greater attention to archi-
tectural effects, the city is emerging
from the chrysalis of old things and
old traditions into the brighter atmos-
phere Of the modern healthful and at
tractive municipality. He may not ad-
NIT 1t in the open, but every Harris
burger is proud to-day that he lives in
9 city that has won so much honor for
it's advanced ideas and its splendid
public spirit. It's no wonder that other
cities are looking this way and sending
their representative delegations here to
find out how we do it. But let us not
be content with past achievements;
there Is much yet to do.

MAKING THE CRIME BLAcKER

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
When Burke. in his Speech on the

the nations of the world, so completely
obsessed by the worst passions of hu-
