TRADE ACTIVITIES
 DO NOT SLACKEN

New York, July 15.-Bradstreet's today said:
 Sensational influences which usu- ally affect the larger lines during the heated spell, never were so negligible as now. Hot weather has made it un- comfortable for men in industry to work continuously at high speed, and at the same time the normal desire for vacations has probably cut down operations in numerous enterprises, but notwithstanding this, a relatively noteworthy degree of activity prevails. Speculative buying, predicted hereto fore on fears that there would not be enough materials to go around has, however, largely disappeared and the situation is all the healthier for this. Most reports agree that prospects point to Q continuance of good busi- ness through an indefinite period, with little or none of the disturbances in- cident to a presidential year in evi- dence.

HUNGRY CHILDREN CRY ACROSS THE SEAS

l The fund for the Starving children of Europe and Asia announces that there will be no relaxation in it's at
 tenpts to raise half a million dollars
 to save little lives this summer while the great drives are going on and the
 need will be most acute. Its most tell ing means of raising funds is the mass
 of first hand information in regard to
 conditions abroad which it has in it's
 offices at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, but all this would be useless were 1t not for our modern means of con-
 munication.
 "Were it not for the summer circu-
 lation of the daily newspapers" said
 Dr. Frederick Lynch, who is in charge of this work, Eve might lose touch through the next two months with all the important class of people who can afford to leave their homes for the
 seashore and the mountains except the
 hundred thousand readers of the
 Christian Work As it is, I know from observation and results that there is no resort of importance where all the great dailies from adjacent and even distant cities are not on sale. The newspapers not only tell the current news and needs, but they have been most generous in publishing the news in regard to our fund, So we shall not lose touch.
 "Surely the mothers and fathers who look upon their own rosy checked children playing happily in healthy will feel the urge of pity for the poor emaciated children of Europe, innocent victims of the war, living and dying by thousands in s1paalor, without 7 food or clothing, n1otherless, fatherless. That this is true is already shown by the post marks on the letters which we receive. Those who are purchasing health for their own children are moved by pity to contribute to the preservation of lit tie lives abroad. Isshould say that the results of our appeals are strong endorsement of the value of the ad- vertising and news columns of the city in summer as well as m winter, but much more must be forth coming if We are ever to overtake the increasing needs"
