Those who asked for sign of gen
uine betterment in the basic business
and trade conditions of the country
thought they found one on Saturday
in the Pennsylvania railroad s an
nouncement that $20,QOOOOO worth of
new equipment would be built in the
near future. The Pennsylvania S man
agement has never been accused of
hasty action in important matters.
Coming, as the news did, rot long
after the American Railways associa-
ton had reported a decrease of idle
cars to the extent of 5000 between
March / and April l, the financial com
munity was able to make some cheering
deductions as to pending Improvement
in traffic. The decrease in idle equip
ment was small in itself, but attracted
attention when first announced, because
no other decline had been reported
since Oct. / of last year. The plans
.of the Pennsylvania also strengthened
an earlier impression that matters were
looking up in the railroad world, which
was derived from the announcement by
President Thomas of the Lehigh Valley
that $1,000,O0O would be spent by that
road.

Conn, sayings bank case is another one
along the same lines, and has so far been
decided against the trustees of the bank.
The treasurer turned out to be defaulter.
The depositors sued the directors for the
loss, and so far the courts have twice decld-
ed for the bank, though the case is not yet
out of court. 1t is an important question
particularly in view of the recent federal
law against interlocking directorates, which
has resulted in putting big men out OF noml-
nal control of their own properties, and
putting little men in.

On the afternoon of April II the

a land position near Gaba Tepeh on
Saros bay. The fire was returned and
the Majestic was forced to retire. On
the following afternoon the Majestic
attacked our advance batteries, but was
struck three times. The warship. retir-
ed and was replaced by the British bat
tleship Swiftsure, which continued the
| bombardment, without result
On the nights between the 18th and
10Th of April enemy torpedo boats tried
to penetrate the Dardanelles. They
were easily repulsed. German aviators
dropped bombs, which struck and ex
] plOded on enemy coal steamers.

President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard
is reported as saying in a recent ad-
dress: II cannot see a more dangerous
catastrophe just now than peace. If
peace were made, Germany would not
have experienced the horrors of war,
and it would be a triumph for her, af-
ter her failure to keep treaties. If
peace were obtained now, civilization
would be set back for centuries. = He
further said that Germany should be
forced to pay adequate indemnity to
Belgium before peace is asked for.
This seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion, and it is not a violation of neutral
ity for any one to express it.

THE CRY FOR SOLITUDE
By LUCILLE CANE

To be alone is often an inexpressibly great luxury, but it is a state which Is regarded by the restless as temper or un- pleasantness or eccentricity when indulged in by others.
 There are few people, indeed, who real ize that at times 1t Is not merely advis- apie put necessary that one should be alone. A young wife said to me a day or two ago:
 m a nervy kind of a person, There are times when l feel out of love with all the world. don't want to sulk. I just wan to go away quietly to my own room ana rest until the bad 1t has passed away, as 1t does when I'm left to myself But if l want to be alone, Teddy gets very much hurt, and thinks I'm either i'll or suiky or ratty' with him, and it gen. eraliy ends in row. People seem to ta ke It as personal insult if you show the least desire for solitude"
 And thought 1t a very great pity tha f this young husband hadn't brains enough to realize how very sensible was his wife Tn wishing to be alone until she felt she could see him again without a sense of tension If l were planning a house. every member of the family would have A peu-sitting room. so that when those in- evitable "blues" came they could be bat tied with in safety.

Working Up-The BOoRkeeper
Ky CARL Fl. MILAN Director Pu bile Library

Birmingham had 1132 bookkeepers, cash iers and accountants when the United States census was taken in 1910. Of this number 843 were men and 289 were women. These facts became known to the li- brary officials several months ago. Since that time nearly every book order has in- cluded one or two books on bookkeeping and accounting.
 The result Is that the library now has about % or % of the very best books on these subjects Some of them are ele- mentary, books that the newest assistant might use with profit. Others are for the men and women who have had much experience and education.
 On bookkeeping there are:
 Barrett, Modern Banking Methods and Practical Bank Bookkeeping

 It is generally predicted that the Eng fish public house. of the future will bear a closer resemblance to the continental cafe in its provision of refreshment coun- ters which will supersede the bar.
 The saloonkeeper in many places finds that by providing this character of re- freshment he is able to draw a consider able amount of trade from the cheap res- taurant and tea-room, many men regard ing the atmosphere of the saloon as more .'clubbable' than the more formal and pretentious restaurant. Moreover beer, with the added war duty. has become somewhat expensive for the working man. who finds that a pot of tea, with un- limited quantities of hot water for dilu- ton, serves about the same purpose to the inner man, as twice or thrice the same moneys worth of beer or spirits.
