About the most noticeable development In
the trading on the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change in the full five-nour session today
was the noticeable falling off in the amount
of business done. This was true both as
regards the number of stocks which APP
pcared on the tape and the turnover in each
issue quoted.
The tone of the market all through the
day was quite satisfactory. While there
was some irregularity noted in the price
movements, there were quite few stocks
which made gains. but these advances, ex-
cept in one or two instances, were not

were broken today when the quotation for
commercial bar silver In New York ad-

YOUTH STOPS FLOWING
| when HE HEARS OF WAR
Makes His Way to City to Enlist In
the Navy.

Little Rock, Ark.-When knowledge
that the United States wanted men to
Join the army and navy for defense Of
the country against foreign power
reached Harvey Ethridge, eighteen
years old, Of Conway county, he stop
ped his plow In the midst of furrow
and made his way to this city to enlist
In the navy.
He arrived ON the very day that
preparedness meeting had been arrang-
ed to take place under the auspices Of
the chamber Of commerce and attend
ed that meeting. When enthusiasm was
at its height the chairman of the patri-
0tic gathering summoned Harvey to the
platform. The distinction almost took
the breath Of the country youth, and he
hesitated.
Finally he was induced to stand be-
fore the audience, and when invited to
state his reasons for promptly offering
his services to the country could do so
only in hating language that could be
heard only by those nearest him.
Nevertheless the crowd cheered him
long and loud as one who, although
clearly not fluent orator, had shown
himself ready to do his bit In a way
that counts more strongly than a mas
terry of public speaking.

Boston.-A crowd Of several hundred

front Of st. James Roman Catholic

spread nets to break her fall, police

Finally the Rev. Philip ]. O'Donnell

threat and escorted her back through

At the Psychopathic hospital she

said relatives were trying to commit
her to an insane asylum. She would

QUEEN ELIZABETH.

represented by only few aged painters
and sculptors too old to wear a uni
form.
The city's chief function in the pres
ent war is to nurse back to health the
sick and the wounded, and for this pur-
pose every villa on the wooded hills
surrounding the city has been convert
ed either into a hospital or a SAM
tarium for convalescing officers not
only of the Italian army, but Of the
Servian and English as well.
The Florentines had never seen the
queen before, and In the street the
frail figure of Elizabeth attracted no at
her Unborn interest in hospitals and
medical clinics in general brought her
in contact with the Italian Red Cross
that her identity was disclosed.
Yet when visiting hospitals nobody is
permitted to render to her the homage
due to a queen. For the nurses Of the
Red Cross, as well as the doctors and
orderlies, the queen is simply a French
countess.
Colonel dAutremont, who accom-
panies the queen, said that three years
of incessant work in Belgian Red Cross
hospitals and among the destitute
population Of the little kingdom had
begun to tell on the queen, who Is not
constitutionally very strong. A trip
abroad and long rest in different sur
roundings became imperative.
With the arrival Of the queen the
public has also learned that her daugh-
ter, Princess Mary Josephine, will be
educated in Italy and at the expense
Of the italian nation. In connection
with this it IS r-iated that soon after
the English government decided to edu-
cate Prince Charles, King Albert's sec
ond son, the Italian government re-
quested the privilege Of looking after
the education Of the princess. The royal
parents accepted, and the princess, who
Is girl Of twelve, will enter the Col
lege Of the Annunciata, where only
girls belonging to the nobility are adj
mftted

Recently Mr.. Jensen scattered poison
ed wheat around the burrows and run
ways Of a colony Of troublesome dig
ger squirrels near his barn. The poison
was apparently fatal, for all Of the
squirrels disappeared. Mr.. Jensen out
of curiosity decided to investigate the
underground tunnels Of the rodents.
AS his excavations progressed he un-
earthed seven dead diggers and three
pecks of fine seed potatoes that the
squirrels, forewarned perhaps Of the
food shortage, had stolen
from the rancher's granary and had
boarded in the storage retreats Of their

Gold Coin and Certificates Of Deposit
Found After His Death.
Pendleton, Ore.-In an Investigation
Of the death of johnson W. willard, an
aged recfuse Of the farming district
southeast Of Milton, Coroner Brown
discovered gold coin and certificates Of
deposit amounting to more than $16,-
600. They were tucked away In every
conceivable place. An old vest hang
ing In a closet yielded several hundred
dollars In gold.
Three or four purses were found
packed with coin. In addition to this,
Mr.. Willard owned the ranch where he
lived, valued at $4,000. One daughter,
Mrs. HILL survives. Her home Is In
Montana.
Mr.. Willard lived entirely to himself
since the death Of his wife three years
ago, and the room she used to occupy
had been locked. It was there, in the
bottom Of q trunk, that several Of the
certificates Of deposit were found.
During the past few years Mr.. VII
lard leased his ranch, retaining only
the house and a bit Of ground, where
he raised a small garden. He settled
on a homestead In 1869, Just after the
war, and I'm the typhoid epidemic Of
1878 lost all his children but the one
daughter. Mr.. Willard was eighty-six.

AVIATION SERVICE NOT
The MOST DANGEROUS
Records of Allies Show 1t Is
Fourth In the Percentage of
Casualties.

Washington. Contrary to popular
opinion, the air service Of the army, al
though perhaps the most thrilling
branch, is not the most dangerous.
Captain Aubrey Lippincott, In charge
Of the personnel Of the signal corps Of
the army, says the records Of our al
lies put air service fourth in the per-
centage Of losses. The heaviest losses
have been in the medical corps, next In
infantry and third In artillery.
Although applications have been nu-
merous for enrolment In the six cadet
schools for flyers recently opened, Cap
tain Eppincott says many more men
will be needed before the end Of the
year. One hundred and fifty men are
trained weekly. Enough men have been
accepted to keep the schools supplied
with recruits for more than two
months, but several thousand will be
required later on, as the supply Of men
must be constantly augmented.
Only a small percentage Of the men
who apply for enrolment in cadet
aviation schools at the universities Of
California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio,
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology
and Cornell can be accepted. The re-
quirements are stricter than In any
other branch Of the service. The i'm
preston that only college graduates
are admitted is incorrect, but a sub
stantial foundation for intensive tech
meal training is necessary. It has Oft
en- been found that three years at col
lege or its equivalent gives a man the
knowledge which makes the training
come with reasonable rapidity.
