BOWLING TIES
ARE BROKEN
Teams in City Leagues Well
BunChed-White Eagles
Win Again.
BY JEHOsEPHAT SPARE.

Many changes were brought
about in the percentage columns of
the several leagues operating
throughout the city. The three
club tie between the Hans Drugs,
Silver Edge and Koehler & Schafers,
in the United league, was all shot
and are now reversed of the order
mentioned In the Singer league
the Machinery team was depOsed
from the head Of the procession, the
Pay Roll team again showing the
way.
Further congestion developed in
a good many leagues. The four
clubs in the Factory league are all
under one blanket, as there is a diff
ference of but one game between
the four. The Good Fellows are
quite as closely punched as the No.
. team has but a two game lead
over the rest. The first five teams
in the Electric league are but
three games apart. while the first
four clubs in the Temple league are
neck and neck for the top.

Rolling a big 2.7OO total the Oil
vers increased their lead i'm the
CONNER league. This organiza-
tion staged a thriller. the event be
ing the winning of the first game
of the season by the South Bend
Gear Co. team, which was properly
celebrated. The Rims and SpOkes
continue their drive on even terms
in the Vehicle league, while the
Horns have increased the rating in
the Automobile organization.
There seems to be no end TO the
long string of unbroken victories of
the White Eagles in the West side

times without a reverse decision
The West Side Hardwares surprised
the fans Of this league by staging a
three-game win and the Choka Stars

Only three players reached the
charmed circle in which Fred Hart
led with a 21S 2-3 rating for the

Times Special Service:

NEW YORK. oct. 9-Numerous
cross currents have kept the mar
ket in an unsettled condition, the
result being frequent breaks and
temporary rallies. The all-absorbing
influence has been the Liberty loan,
which proved a magnificent success.
1t must be taken for granted that
a large portion of the national in
come will be required TO meet these
obligations for some time TO come.
The United States has virtually be-
come banker for the allies. the re-
sponsibiities and strain of which
must be squarely shouldered for
months to come. While these alb
normal demands will temporarily
defer new capital obligations, they
will O. the other hand infuse fresh
vigor into all industries necessary
for conduct of the war.
The bulk of this vast loan will be
spent in the United States, loans

BILE
Utility Stocks Weak.
One Of the weak sections OF the
stock market for some weeks past
has been the public utility issues.
The declines in these must be ata-
tributed chiefly to the great expan-
sion in the operating cost of gas,
electric and railway plants: all of
which must pay heavy increases for
oil, coal, wages, taxes, etc, yet can
not raise their charges in compen-
sation because of officials who are
usually governed by political con
siderations and seemingly have lit
tie knowledge of business problems.
In a few instances selling has been
hastened by a desire to invest in the
Liberty loan; while in others there
is fear of the rising tide of So
cialism and the approach OF gov
ernment ownership, which promise
TO be quite a factor in the coming
election.
These influences, however. have
probably been largely discounted.
In some of the best light and trac-
ton companies the fall has gone
beyond all reason; though that does
not mean that values will not drop
TO still lower levels while present
apprehensions exist Government
ownership is not an immediate
probability because public opinion
is unprepared for such a step, and
neither national, state nor city gov
such operations. Moreover, public
management has thus far conspicu-
ously failed to prove its superiority
over private management, nOtwith-
standing the criticisms which can
be applied to the latter. In many
cases. also. public regulation has
failed solely because of incapacity
of the regulators, and not a few
prime investments have been sold
at unnecessary sacrifices as a result
of the failure of government regu-
lation.
Considerable uneasiness exists in
business circles concerning the labor
outlook. Labor as a whole has been
loyal and efficient. Wages have ris-
en- sharply in some instances and
are advancing in others. Generally
speaking, labor is usually prosper
Gus in all sections of the country.
In not a few instances, however,
the effect of high wages has not
been what was expected, since indi-
viduals often prefer 10 work fewer

Securities Low.

Good investment opportunities
have rarely been so numerous.
Many gilt edged securities are sell
ing far below intrinsic values Div
ident reductions are few; yet stocks
have declined out Of all proportion
10 the rise in interest rates. Tbs
same is true of good bonds. many Of
which bring exceptionally high re-
turns at present prices. Numerous
high grade stocks are selling at the
lowest prices in over two years, and
on a basis Of - or per cent;
good industrials at 7d1O per cent,
and gilt edged bonds at 5G6 - per
cent. These facts are being recog-
nized by shrewd buyers. and the
purchase of odd lots has been a

Medieval and NapoIeonic Styles
Are Engaged in Struggle for
Supremacy.

In Any. Event Women, Fortunately,

New York-The medieval in dress
dies hard. The NapoleOnic influence
In apparel never really loses its grip.
1t may be said by the historian of
dress that one of these two phases of
feminine costumery is the basis of ev-
cry fashion that comes and goes.
The world of clothes has just ex-
perienced mad revival in medieval
ism. Women of every weight, age and
curve have adopted the gowns of
Queen Guinevere and Melisond.
Such garments have been cut by
the hundred. In block, and they have
been worn in all the market places of
the civilized world for two years. The
splendid. sweeping robes in which
Guinevere met Launcelot have served,
when modified, to carry Mary Jane
TO the department store to buy bar
gain shirtwaists.
The swinging sleeves, the loose, jew
eled rope. girdle and the straight
widths of deeply cOlored velvet worn
by Juliet when she went to the sOmber
tOmbs of the dead have been worn by
blue-eyed Miss Flapper, rapturOusly
applauding The Midnight FOllies.
what are the uses of history" say
the designers, "If not to turn it into
present use?" And so, over and over,
the world of apparel greets the rising
of the medieval sun, season after sea-
son, decade after decade.
The NapoieOnic period is as deeply
impressed on the minds Of the design
ers. There was nothing medieval
about French costumery throughout the
reign of the superman, but there were
so many eccentricities, such q vast
variety of beautiful lines and curves
so much glowing narrative and tragic
romance attached to the sweep of a
skirt and the flow of a sleeve, that the
dressmakers never get away from
those pages Of costumery.
NapoIeonic Again Threatens.
Today we are again threatened with
the NapoleOnic. We are almost stated
with medievalism. The DirectOire
beckons; the First empire allures.
The madness of Nine. Tallien will not
be repeated today, unless France is
suddenly assured Of victory, when, If
history repeats itself, she may go quite
mad again for a short time, through
the cOstumery Of her women.
In this glow of feeling toward the
NapoleOnic period We are not even
averse to the laced bodice and the

There Is one shop In New York to
