Camera Men and War Pictures.

The camera man in search of lively war pictures often enjoys the protec- ton of q special guard, which is espe- ciaIly detailed to protect him. Since the camera does not shoot as far as a gun, the photographer often works at an immense disadvantage. The cam era makes conspicuous target and often draws the enemy's fire. The spe
 cial camera guard, which originated in one of the early Villa campaigns in Mexico, consists of two picked men, perhaps more, who accompany the pho tographer or skirmish ahead of him to render his position as safe as possible when the camera is set up. Many thousands of feet of war film have been made while sharpshooters on both sides kept up steady and effec- tive fire. A guard of two American h. dians, both crack shots, were employed for many weeks to protect L. M. Burrud, an American camera man, who accompanied Villa in one of his cam paigns. The Indians stealth and dar- ing in reconnoitering the ground in ad- vance often proved indispensable

Gains of substantial pro- portions were numerous. but these were neutra1ized by more moderate recessions in metals, some of the uti1- ities, equipments and such specia1ties as Dnited States Rubber, United States Steel and allied shares like Crucible and Lackawanna Steels and Republic Iron were appreciably better.

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS
 IN THE JEWELRY TRADE

N Very encouraging reports are pe- ing received from the leading jobbing centers as to conditions in the jewelry trade Almost without exception these reports are to the effect that business is showing g. very marked improvement over last yeah and that the aggregate of sales makes 8 decid- edly favorable comparison with those of the best previous years.
 se Retailers have made preparations for the holidays with an unusual amount of confidence, and 1t IS noted that demand tends strongly to the better class of merchandise. some flew months ago there was evident Apprehension that the sharp rise in fpriees of many articles would exert a srestriction effect on demand, but this feeling is now a thing of the past and Seral prosperity of the country with the full employment of labor will en- sure unusually heavy sales during the tcoming holidays.
 { Conditions at Providence and other manufacturing points reflect the ac- hive distribution in wholesale and re- EAii lines, practically all factories eoperating to capacity and many of khsm overtime in their efforts to keep Bupl with orders Demand covers all tlasses of goods and includes chains, Mings bracelets, 1avallieres and other sarticles for personal adornment, with ta noticeable preference for those made of solid gold. Tab1esware, both solid and plated, is in very active re- quest, in spite of higher prices neces- ,sitated by the advance, in silver and the increased cost of labor.
 Tn addition to the improvement in domestic trade, there has been a suo- etantial expansion in foreign business, exports of the regular lines of jewelry showing good gain, and those Of Moth, cheap and expensive watches a very pronounced increase. Nurner- aous manufacturers are now paying more attention to this department of their business, the many inquires that are being received from countries that formerly obtained their require ments of this nature from Europe be- Ting regarded as promising a profit able new outlet for their products.- Dunn's Review.

Moslems above all others. In that month the Koran, according to Mos lem tradition, was brought down by Gabri.: from heaven and delivered to man in small sections. In that month Mohammed was accustomed to retire from Mecca to the cave of Hira for prayer and meditation. In that month Abra ham, Moses and other prophets received their divine revelations. In that month the doors of heaven are always open, the passages to hell are shut, and the devils are chained So run the traditions.-Christian Herald.
