SUNSET.

My years are many cannot do my

As nurse, or cook. or clerk;
And so l sit and knit.
My thots on those from whom /
work.
The sun is sinking; II floods Old
Glory's stars,
And lights each ripping fold
OF white and crimson bars
With living liquid gold.
Somewhere In France the boys for
whom knit
Are battling for that Flag
BY the SUMS glory lit
To keep 1t Flag-not rag!
God bless them all: each brave and
noble boy.
And send them safely home.
Well greet them with proud JOY
When that glad day shall come.

Were Sleeping Beauty present these days, it is barely possible that even the Princes osculatOry greeting would fail to arouse her For if she were wise as she is said to be she would slumber on, or at least play 'poSsum' just for effect, because nowadays the choice of garments to look lovely in is unlimited and bewildering in it's sheer filminess.
 The negligee, least to be neglected of garments, is capable of making or marring a delightful morning effect But the wise virgin need never be told but once that the frilly soft, indefinite styles do attract the sterner sex The choice is wide The plaited skirt of crepe de chine with coat of lace is Stlll good, and the embroidered, padded silk Japanese kimono we always have with us.
 For these snappy fall mornings there are adorable, saucy breakfast coats of taffeta made very simply, yet thor oughly feminine. The moyen age waist has short, full skirt, gathered on with a cord; flare sleeves and surplice front all edges finished with small cordings, self covered
 The pretentious model made of soft apricot taffeta with innumerable small bows down the front; a belt of Joffre blue mOire ribbon, with an incense quential pink carnelia tucked in at one side.
 Boudoir robes of Egypt blue, orchid or rose albatrcss, lined with silk and having touch of fur at the neck are timely and comfortable, as are the cor duroy robes in various colors.

World money and world promises

In discussing the relation between

increased so per cent since 1918, world
national obligations 142 per cent and

The worlds money, as classified by

current among fnsnciers and are al
ways available for obtaining currency

Chalmers Plant
Leased for 5 Years
By Maxwell Co
New Capital To Be Raised
Through Issue of 6 Per
Cent Notes

Under an arrangement concluded
yesterday the plant Of the Chalmers
Motor Car Corporation will be leased
TO the Maxwell Motor Car Company
for a period of five years on the basis
of 80 per cent of the net profits. The
Chalmers company will continue to
make it's own cars, but they will be
sold through the Maxwell agencies.
The official anr ouncement stated that
the Maxwell company purposes "to de-
liver the Chalmers plant at the ex-
piration of the lease in good order and
condition, with its name and goodwill
preserved and the inventory properly
balanced" There will be no consoli-
dation of the two companies.
The lease of the Chalmers plant by
the Maxwell company was necessitated
by the formers need of working cap
ital. Under the new arrangement it is
proposed to raise s3,000,000 through
the issuance of s3,150,000 first mort
gage five-year per cent notes, secured
on the real estate, plant and fixed as
sets of the Chalmers company. These
notes will be offered at 81 to the hold
crs of $4,000 shares of the company's
stock in the amount OF SO of notes
for each share of stock now held.
This will provide $3.50, 900. The
remaining 100000 of notes will be
purchased b. j. S. Bache & Co. and
Charles d. Barney & Co. at the same
price that is paid by the Chalmers
shareholders. To each stockholder
subscribing to his individual portion
of the notes it is proposed to give one
share Of per cent cumulative pre-
ferred stock, retirable at 10 and re-
deemable under a sinking fund Of 3
per cent, beginning July 1, 1920. By
exchanging 1872 600 shares of the COM
pany's no par value stock for the new
preferred stock thus retired that
amount will be returned to the treas
ury.
As an inducement to stimulate sub
scriptions to the notes each subscrib-
ing Chalmers stakeholder is offered
onc-fourth Of n share of additional
no par value stock as bonus for each
$40 of notes purchased under the plan.
1t is understood that the Maxwell
company will devote a portion of the
Chalmers plant space to the manufact
ure of trucks for the United States

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange.

Rubles dropped to the lowest quota
ton on record in the local exchange
market yesterday, when, on the cx-
treme decline, checks sold at 20.lS,
against a normal parity of 51.2. The
decline was attributed to the unsettled
political conditions in that country, but
transactions we're mostly all of spec
ulative character. The close was at
20.40 for cables and POPS for checks.
Rates for Swiss and Italian exchange
were easier, but there was slightly
frmer tendency noted in the Scandi-
navian exchanges, especially in rates
on Copenhagen. Discussing the low
level of Scandinavian exchanges in
Great Britain, "The London Times"
states that it is not without its ad-
vantages, "for it tends to increase the
employment of scandinavian credits in
this country. This is particularly true
Of sterling credits. A Norwegian ship
ping company, for instance, which had
received 100000 for freight, would be
disinclined to convert it into kronor
at the present rate Of exchange, since
it would sustain loss Of about l6 per
cent on the transaction. Thus, for
business reasons it would prefer to
invest the money here and await re-
covery in exchange before renting it.
This is, in fact, what has happened. A
considerable amount of Scandinavian
credits have accumulated here, and the
money in some cases is known TO have
been invested in Treasury bills. To
the speculatively inclined the CONVEX
sion of kronor into sterling at the
present rate of exchange has its at
fractions, for not only can the money
be remuneratively invested here, but
there is the prospect of a substantial
profit being made when the exchange
RECEIVERS to a more normal level. 1t
is not, however, believed that many
transactions of this kind have been
effected, for it is true that the accu-
mutation of Scandinavian credits here
will tend to retard the recovery in eX-
change later. This aspect of the effect
of adverse neutral exchanges has been
rather neglected in the discussion Of
exchange problems. But it is interest
ing to note that the primary object Of
keeping money rates at comparative
~ high level in order to attract neutral
credits here, and thus TO strengthen
the exchanges, has also been achieved
by allowing the exchanges to look after
themselves"
Closing rates yesterday. compared
with week ago, are given II the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange, so that daily quota
tons for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.
