are apt to defer purchases of light
clothing until the weather becomes
settled. So the retail trade was not
quite up to the mark expected. In
the primary markets the notion that,

puoying up prices. although nothing
distinct or tangible was brought for

The following incident is reported
In the New York Sun:
The Odd Lot Review makes the
following interesting comment re-
gardtng Samuel Untermyer and his
public announcement that he never
speculates: About a year ago in
a public statement Samuel Inter
meyer said, I never speculate
AT that time Mr.. Untermyer was
on the books OF the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation for a big block
OF the common stock. The publica-
tion OF the Kennecott Copper stock
holders this week shows that Mr..
Untermyer is down on the books
for 23,I12 shares
'Mr. Untermyer probably uses
the legal definition OF 'speculate.'
which evidently is to lose Mr..

Pride of race helped these men to

knew not the instant the Kansas might
lift again and turn turtle, yet they did
not dream of deviating a hairs breadth
from their duties. The second officer
went aft to carry u the captains in

way. passing to leeward of the chart
house until he reached his own quar-
tiers. There was no door on that side,
but light streamed through a couple Of
large portfolios across which the cur
tains had not beer drawn. He looked
in. Elsie was leaning against the ia
bic to balance herself on the sloping
deck. She had Joey in her arms. She
seemed to be talking to the dog, who
answered in his own way by trying to
lick her face. The glass was so blurred
that Courtenay could not see that she
was crying.

a momentary thought as to his own

And how could he entertain even a

would preserve such discipline to the

anne sooner than he expected. He had
been standing there alone about five
minutes, intcntly watching the set OF

time for lowering a boat, when, amid
the sustained shrek of the wind and
the lashing Of the spray, he heard
sounds which told him that the for
ward port lifeboat was being swung
outward on the davits. The hurricane
deck was IA mass of confused figures.
The two boats to Starboard, a lifeboat
and the jolly boat, had been carried
across the deck in readiness to take the
places of the port lifeboats. A lands
man might think that medley reiyned

WALLACE BARBER SHOP
HAS SMALL FIRE

The barber shop belonging to
Frank II. Wallace one-half block
east of the postotiice, caught on
fire Tuesday evening and would
have soon gone up in smoke had
it not been for the rapid work
of the soldiers who happened to
be near and the civilians who
are located near The building
was damaged to the extent Of
about 500 and there was at
least $50 worth of laundry lost.
The fire started from the eN-
plosion of a gasolene heater,
which Wallace was filling, hav-
ing failed to turn off the gas or
had not waited for the blaze to
go out. The explosion occurred
in the back room but spread to
the front of the shop, burning
the wall paper, and the heat was
80 intense that the glass in the
front was broken from its eff
feet.
