NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Jan. 18.-Assurances of
the success of the new British loan and
the reduction in the British bank rate
from 6 to IL per cent, the first
change in six months, were among the
sentimental factors which Influenced
todays movement of prices towards
higher levels.
Trading was only moderate. but
broader and with a more confident un-
dertone than any previous session of
the week. There was a steady demand
for standard shares, notably rails, Ca
madam Pacific making up much of It's
recent decline, with gains of ! to 2
points in other Pacifics, Reading, st.
Paul, Erie and Long Island. High
grade induStrialS were responsive to
trade advances. which offered more
encouragement. An early break of 20
points in Bethlehem Steel common,
with 10 for the preferred was soon rec
titled, though both issues closed at net
declines. United States Steel and kin
dred shares were to 3 points higher
at their best with Z for Gulf States
Steel. The shorts We're again impelled
to cover in the motor issues on further
Studebaker, while subsidiary stocks,
inclu ling the rubber group, were firm
to strong on reports of a gigantic con-
solidation.
Shippings recovered from yester-
days reversals. marine preferred max
ing a gain of 31s with 2M for the COM
mon and 31s for Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies. Current gossip suggests
early developments in marines, pre-
sumably in connection with deferred
dividends.
Strength of coppers and zinc issues
had its basis in circumstantial state
ments of a renewal of negotiations for
large foreign supplies. The same
causes were made to serve the leather
and sugar shares, but oils were little
more than firm, despite additional ad-
vances for the crude and refined prod
ucts.
Gas shares and Western Union fea-
tured the strong utilities, with such is
olated specialties as Pittsburg Coal.

TODAT's BEAUTY HINT

It is not necessary TO shampoo your
hair SO frequently If 1t is entirely and
properly cIsansed each time by the
use OF a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo is one that. brings out all
the natural beauty OF the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonfuI OF can
throx, which can be obtained from
any druggist. in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
Il to all the hair instead of just the
top Of the head. This when rubbed
iato the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
puritIes. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action. as well as beneficial
to both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will
md the scalp is fresh, clean and free
from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and q soft huffiness
that makes It seemyery heavy.-Advt.

NEW U-BoAT'S DEVICE
OPENS WAY FOR RAIDERS;
UPPER WORKS IN MAIL

Due to the alertness OF American,
British, and French destroyers, Ger
many has been compelled to revise
her methods OF U-boat warfare on a
very radical scale within the last few
months, says the Scientific American.
In the early stages OF the war the
U-boats relied almost exclusively on
the torpedo for sinking hostile mer-
chantmen. It did not take long to
prove that this method was too ex-
pensive even for a Kaiser's war chest
Too many costly torpedoes were
wasted on vessels which escaped by
zigzagging or increasing their
speeds.
Held Up Quarry BY Gunhre.
Then the Teutons adopted the plan
Of holding up their Quarries by
means of gunfire and sending them
to the bottom by means of a charge
Of dynamite or a bomb planted
aboard where they would be likely
to sink the merchantmen quickest. !"
This method was used successfully
for many months-in fact, until re-
Gently when the torpedo boat destroy
ers began to make the steamer lanes
SO unsafe for the mechanical lsh.
Now, says the Scientific American,
1.-The Germans are sending the traders
to the bottom by Gunfire alone in
many instances. and this method of
attack is far more formidable than
has hitherto been believed possible
on the part of the submarines"
The New Method.
In describing the new method of
attack the weekly says:
1T is a matter of common re-
port that the German submarines
that figured prominently in the early
months OF the war were equipped
with two sorts of guns. One a 81
milimeter weapon firing from a fixed
pedestal mount a shell Of ~ Inch

turn is connected by chain drive to
the front axle, thus giving the We
hicle a four-wheel drive The wheels
are spiked in order to secure greater
traction effort over the toughest ter
rain, and the device, 1t is believed by
steam-sutomobile experts, should be
capable OF carrying a load OF $50 or
200 pounds OF high explosive at a
speed varying, of course, with the
ground conditions. Over a smooth
ground the torpedo could run at a
rate-~eding sixty miles an hour.
Z CobtroIied BY Cables.
=. "telHEf the usual torpedo operat-
ing IN The water, the land torpedo
requires a means OF control sfte rit
has started on its destructive. er-
rand. And to accomplish this pur-
pose, not only as regards the run
ming of the torpedo but also the ex-
plosion of the charge, cables are en-
ployed. The speed of the car may
be controlled by a cable which is
connected with a valve in the supply
pipe connecting the engine with the
boiler, while from a spool carried on
the rear axle a wire is paid out as
the vehicle proceeds, and at the de-
sired moment a current passed
through this wire explodes the
charge.
THE cables, being connected to
windlasses in the trenches of the
attackers, can be pulled in so as to
reclaim any torpedo which has not
accomplished its mission or which IL
headed in the wrong direction. 1t
will be noted that the axles Of the
torpedo are non.steering, and there
is absolutely no steering gear, since
the vehicle is supposed. to- keep its
course after it's release.
with the cost OF the land tor
pedo estimated at something like
$3.50 each, when made up in large
quantities, il is evident that its use
would materially lessen the cost OF
assault preparation. As the device is
TO be employed but once, and as its
first and last trip would not be over
mile, and PROBABLY only a couple
OF hundred yards, highly finished
construction would not be necessary"

dable piece, arranged to disappear
into the superstructure and to throw
a 12-pound proJectile.
This gun is a stumpy, but power
full rife, having a caliber of 2.05
inches, and at moderate range like
ly to prove an unpleasant antagon-
list for a torpedo boat. But again
this meant exposure for the guns
crew, for the men had to come out
upon the deck in plain sight IL the
submarine were running light, as she
would OF necessity have to be, to
measure forces in this fashion with
a surface fighting craft. To get
under suddenly, the deck hatch might
have to be closed before the men at
the gun could retreat into the sub
marine.
How Gun Is Protected.
I'VE are able to illustrate. from
reliable source. the housing, gun
and mount, which is said to be iden-
tical with that employed by the Ger
mans in their very latest and largest
U-boats. 1t is quite manifest that the
installation is a long stride forward
in making the submarine more formid-
able and efficient, especially when
used as a commerce destroyer or
when called upon to put a fight
against the worst of her present foes,
the high-speed sea-going torpedo
boats. More than that, the arrange
ment shelters the gun crews from
aerial attack.
THE particular installation which
we are able to show Is that for a
quIck-firing 1+pounder, but the
operative principles would be the
L y \
4-inch rifles which we are told some
of the U-boats now carry.
Hatch a Barbette.
THE gun, with its superposed re-
coll cylinder and sheltering hood, is
mounted upon a revolving pedestal
provided with seats for two operators
one for controlling lateral move
ment and the other manipulating the
elevator gear with his left hand and
firing with his right. The revolving
pedestal, in. turn. is supported by a
pIunger elevator functioned by means
Of a pneumatic cylinder. The gun
hood is really the hatch cover, and
when the weapon is lowered this COW
er is seated !water-tight against a
rubber gasket in the recess at the top
Of the hatch or barbette.
THE gun pointers take their posi-
lions when the elevator is lowered.
and rise with the rife when the
hatch cover lifts and the gun is
cleared for action. The piece can be
elevated and lowered in a few sec
onds.
at is perfectly plain that an in
stallation of this character adds in
fact and potentially much to the
military powers of a submarine. Be
cause guns of this sort can be worked
in the semi-light trim a submarine
need not expose so much OF her hull
or superstructure and, accordingly,
should be able just so much quicker
to seal up and disappear below the
waves for greater security.
ut Is equally evident that a dis
mount of this nature can
be housed beneath and within pro-
tecting Armor of moderate thickness
and a frontal shield set upon the
gun, thereby greatly increasing the
resistance against attack. In this
we can see the first step in an evolu-
tional line which will blaze the way
10 the still larger sea-going subma-
rine with its upper works in mail"
