Will Extend Postal
 Savings Stamp System

It will soon be possible for Bridge porters to purchase postal savings stamps at all of the 31 contract sta tions in the city. An order from the Post Office department in Washington has been issued to- this effect and as soon as the necessary arrangements for distributing the stamps and cards can be made, it will be possible for anyone to gQ to the nearest drug store where there Is a station and buy 10 or more cents worth of the stamps.
 The postal savings stamps are a unique and easy way in which to save money and the government wants to extend its service as far as possible. The method is simple. A 10 cent stamp is purchased and a card goes with the stamp bearing nine other places for stamps. One may buy stamps as one pleases and when the card is filled, it can be redeemed for one dollar at any postoffice in the United States. The sum is so small that it is as good way for children to save their pennies as for older per- sons to save their dimes.
 Hitherto the stamps have only been sold at the main post office in the East and West End branches. The exten- sion of the stamp privilege to the con- tract stations does not, however, mean that postal savings accounts can be opened there. The bank feature will still only be held by the main station and it's two branches, also Stratford station.

STOCK MARKET .~~~~~~/

New York Sept. 16-Opening- and United States Steel were the dom- inant features at todays strong open ing. with gains of one to two. points in Great Northern, Union Pacific, South ,ern Pacific, St. Paul. Southern Rail ways pfd. and some of the coalers and eastern lines. all these issues being talk en in large blocks. Steel scared to the new record of 107A, Driggs-Seabury added five points to yesterdays sub stantial rise and Western. Union led the utilities at a gain of over two points. SpeciaQties were relatively neglected, but shipping shares were ffrmer with irregularity in coppers. In- itial gains in rails were materially ex- tended in the first half hour.
 C1ose-Buying of railroad shares on a scale and at prices in some instances unequalled since the war, was the fea- ture of today's extremely active mark ct, sales of the first hour approximat. ing 500,000 shares, though diminish ing perceptibly later. The inquiry for investment issues was regarded as significant because it represented complete transfer of operations from speculative specialties, the sensational features of the early week. Gains in rails ran from one to 3 points, Union Pacific, Great Northern, St. Paul and Canadian Pacific being the conspicu- ous features. United States Steel rep. resented the industrials at the new record of 10S. The closing was strong though moderation featured the clos ing quotations Bonds were firm.

government The governments share was all held abroad, $49, ,850,00O in the United States and $44,S65,000 in Europe. It appears that the specie in Europe was invested in British Treas ury bills or otherwise utilized so as to yield an interest return of 4 to 5 per cent. The gold belonging to- the Ja- panese government in the United States is said to have been deposited with certain banks which allowed no more than 1M per cent. interest thereon. Under the arrangement re- ferred to in the report the $49,85O,OOO held in this way for Japan in the United States is to be, or probably has been, invested in British Treasury bills bearing 5 per cent. interest.

John Dubuc, of the Tiger twirling staff, will have a birthday party on Sunday, as the Frenchman was born on Sept. IT, 1888, in St. Johnsbury, Vt. He is college man, having gained his first experience at Holy Cross Col lege and Notre Dame University. He broke into professional ball with the Reds in 1908, but the following year he made such, poor showing that he was sent to Buffalo. The Bisons turn ed him over to Montreal early in the 1910 season. In 1911 Dubuc won twenty-one games for the Royals, los- ing eleven, and he was claimed by Detroit for 1912. Dubuc hasn't been as effective this year as last, when he gained seventeen victories, against twelve defeats, for the Tigers.

THE MIRACLE MAN

George Tweety Stallings, the "Mir- acle Man. of 1914, will be forty-sev- en tomorrow. according to the dope book. The leader of the Braves is a native of Georgia and he now owns a plantation several square miles In eX- tent near Paddock. He is the lord Of a manor which includes villages, churches, stores, and schools within its far flung boundary lines, as high brow scribe would put it. Stallings got his start as a manager in 1893, when he piloted the, Augusta, Ga., club to a pennant, having previously toiled as backstop in cities on both oceans. He made his first big splash as a club leader in Buffalo, achieving reputa- tion with the Btsons that got him chance in the big show, first with the Yankees and then with the Braves. Besides being an able manager, Stall ings is fine umpire, and often shows up the leagues official arbiters by telling them where they were wrong.
 Baseball stars flicker out young, but they don't go as fast as the box ing kings when once the downward impetus is imparted. Take the case of William Papke, of Spring Valley, Ill. Billy will be thirty years old to- morrow-an age when most boys are just starting to accomplish something and yet, pugilistically, the former middleweight champion is deader'n door nail. Billy has on several occa- sions entertained the notion that tho old adage. they never come back" didn't apply to him, but on each occa- sion he has been shown that it is a true proverb. A few months ago the ex-thunderbolt tried to do a little laundering against Irish Jack Smith in Brooklyn, but all he showed was a little heat lightning. Papke emerg- ed from that bout with pair of black eyes and the determination to let box fighting alone and stick to the grocery business.
