Irregular Shrinkage of Prices.

Subject only to occasional interrupt
tons, the first four days of the market
recorded a succession of selling move
ments in the stock market and an ir-
regular shrinkage of prices, which was
partly arrested yesterday. The decline
first manifested itself in the more I'M

braced standard issues, including rails
External conditions contributed large
ly to the unsettlement, although the
shorts were unusually aggressive.
Latest aspects of the European situa-
ton. including England's proposed
rigid blockade. Austrias invasion of
Montenegro and the turn of events
in Greece were taken into serious ac-
count, while affairs in Mexico were
reflected in the further depression of

In the stock market itself the event
of the week was the Bethlehem Steel
thirty dollar dividend. which was re-
ceived with some disappointment in
speculative circle :. Prices reached
lowest levels on news of the dividend
but revived on limitations that other
war contract companies are soon to dis
tribute earnings to shareholders.

Rebuilding Johns HOPKINS,

What the Johns Hopkins of the past
has been is an old story. As q small
university it has ever stood for the
best in higher learning. Intensive
work has always been it's aim. That
the expansion sure to follow the re-
moval to Homewood will work no
change in the ideals vigorously ad-
hered to in the past is made plain by
the present plans of the authorities.
Hopkins will never be a large univer-
sity, provision being made for not
more than 1000 students. The class
rooms are to be small. accommodating
not more than thirty students each,
with the understanding that the size
of the classes is to remain constant.
even II the university reaches the
maximum enrolment. The line OF
demarcation between undergraduate
and graduate work is to be sharply
drawn in all departments. and the
dOrmitories, which will follow the
quad" system, will not provide room
for more than 200 students each. Five
years ago Homewood was virtually a
wilderness; today 1t has been laid out
according to the best landscape archi.
tectural ideas of the day. In another
f1ve years, If the money is forthcom-
ing, the new university will probably
be completed.

Their conversation began agreeably

was good listener, but the lean man
wanted to do all the talking. and every
time the roly-poly one said anything
the cadaverOus man took the words
out OF his mouth. The fat man began
to glance sidewise at his companion.
1t was apparent that the thing of hav-
ing his words taken out of his mouth
was beginning to raw him up some.
The car travelled quite q distance be-
fcre he opened up again. Then he
said something about election, but the
lean mar again interrupted and I'm.
ished what he was going to say. The
fat man jumped from his seat with an
angry fash on his face, shook his fist
at the lean man and said: 1T would

IRON jEWELRY NO NOVELTY
Patriotic Prussian Woman Wore Such
Ornaments With Pride More
Than q Century Ago.

Many months ago. almost from the
beginning OF the war. We were told
that German women. following the ex-
ample of their great-grandmothers
voluntarily gave up their gold rings,
necklets,. earrings. bracelets and orna.
ments OF every description. to be
made or coined into money for the
national need.
Whatever truth there may be in this
story, there is no doubt that many
German women have been presented
by the government with iron rings to
replace the gold ones they have parted
with.
But that happened a century ago
Then Prussia, crushed by Napoleon
and bankrupt. was in dire need Of
money. and the Prussian women gave
up all their jewels and ornaments to
help cope with the prevailing poverty
And out Of this sacrifice a new indus.
try arose.
This was nothing less than the man
ufacture Of cast-iron jewelry to replace
the gold and silver ornaments which
the great ladies Of the kingdom had
given up. At first sight no material
would seem less promising as a sub
stitute for the precious metals than
iron. 1t was entirely owing to the
wonderful craftsmanship of the iron
workers that the results were so ex-
traordinary.
Strength, of course, would be a dis
tinguishing mark OF such jewelry, and

ments, now in the possession of To-

This particular set, comprising a pair
OF earrings, necklet. locket and brace
lets, has not been looked after until
lately.
The ornaments have wonderfully
fragile appearance. due entirely to
the exquisite workmanship. Their
weight, too, is astonishingly small, the
lightness Of every article being quite
