IN THE THIEVES MARKET"
Remarkable Institution In Small Mexi-
can City That Has Sphere
Of Usefulness.

The so-called thieves market" in
San Luis Potosi is one of the most
curious and characteristic institutions
of the little Mexican city. Here are
found tools and implements, knives
and pistols, bottles. hinges, valves,
chains, brides, raZors, religious books
from the old Barcelona press, cheap
jewelry, doorknobs, and, in fact, any
sort Of nonperishable merchandise.
The name of the market is not discred-
liable to either the proprietors of the
various stalls nor their customers,
but it is probably correct in its impli-
cation that thieves sell here their
small plumber.
1t is said that some of the proprie-
tors deal in more valuable goods,
such as antique pieces Of brasswork.
china and silver, precious stones and
metals, but these are not offered to
the public. The pawnshops turn over
to this market cheap articles in hard
ware and jewelry, and American goods
are often seen, particularly cheap
watches, buttons and safety razors.
The market prevents waste in that
every sort of secondhand article may
be bought and used again.

Er1lish Soldier Somewhat I~rreverent
In Describing Alleged Occur
renee at Mons.

VI. B. Trites, the novelist, said on
his return from the war.
ION the surface it appears that Eng
land in this war is showing more re-
spect than France for religion. Thus,
in France. a preacher got three
months recently for preaching that the
French losses and defeats were Gods
punishment for Frances wickedness;
but in England the papers are full of
reverent discussion of the Mons angel
Iegend-the legend OF the white band
of angels that protected the English
troops in their great retreat.
'Now these things don't prove
France less religious than England.
They only prove her less foolish. Fol
the Mons angels yarn and the French
preachers ~vaporings have nothing to
do with religion. They concern hui
man stupidity. And England has al
ways been friendlier to human stu
pidity than France.
Il met one Englishman. a Tommy,
who treated that Mons angel business
right.

A lot of college professors are writ
ing magazine articles in support of the
theory that our industrial revival was
not due to the war. But the theories
Of professors won't convince the
bread-liners who couldn't get jobs I'm
til war orders started our factories.
The practical common sense of the
farmer who sold grain and horses at
high prices for shipment to Europe
won't be overcome by opinions formed
far from the marts of trade. Merchants
who stood for months upon the horrify-
ing brink of bankruptcy have more
confidence in the facts shown by their
ledgers than in the theories %expounded
IN the books written by professors
whose incomes depend very little upon
the general industrial prosperity of
the country. The American business
man knows why our depression came
and why it went.

The immense demand for ocean ship
ping due to the necessities of the ma
tions at war has raised transportation
rates to such an extent that ships can
now be sold for four times what they
cost under normal conditions. If the
United States should now appropriate
money for the purchase of ships, the
purchase price would, therefore, be
four times the intrinsic value of the
vessels. Immediately upon the close
of the war, the abnormal demand for
shipping would cease, shipping rates
would return to normal standards and
