 The minor rails were also in bet ter demand, influenced chiefly by the more favorable exhibit of June earn ings by most of the re-organized car riers.

NEW YORK, August 3.-The third successive session of higher prices marked today's broader stock market operations, the short interest evident ly deeming it advisable to further re- duce commitments over the double holiday.
 United States Steel led the list at an extreme advance of & points but lost part of its advantage on profit taking in the last hour. The more striking movements of the session were scored by higher priced tobacco shares, American Tobacco making an extreme advance of 5% to 212% and Liggett and Myers 13 to 235. United Cigars at 119ss and Tobacco Pro- ducts at 671s established new high records.
 Changers and low grade railroads were the most active issues in the transportation group. Coppers, oils and motors were dull or moderately heavy. The market closed with firm undertone. Total sales amounted to 535,0OO shares.
 An interesting development was the resumption of gold imports, s6,0O0,0 being received from Canada for Brit ish account.
 Bonds were irregular with Liberty 311's at the wide range of 99.32 to 99.45. Total sales, (par value), ag- gregated s2,235,0OO.

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3-Chances that peace developments might assume some importance during the double holiday intervening before Monday did a good deal to overcome in the corn market today an advance which had resulted from continued lack of rain and from temporary scantiness of of ferings. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to k cent lower with December 117ss to 117% and May 115h to 115%.
 Wheat declined 31s cents net. but in the end held steady at 22715 Sep tember. Oats lost 1s to $ cents. In provisions there was a rise of 27 to 55 cents.
 Wheat eased down as a result in some. degree of assertions that far mers in the winter wheat region were showing more willingness to sell and that as yet millers were not taking hold freely. Showers in Canada and cool weather on the United States side of the international border, were construed as indicating a rather more hopeful outlook for the spring crop.
 Oats acted heavy. The market felt the weight of hedging sales and also sympathized with the weakness of corn at the close.
 Higher prices on hogs helped to lift provisions. Meat shipments were lib- eral and Liverpool advices also en- couraged buying.

DRAFTED MEN GAN BE
 EXAMINED HERE TO-DAY
Continued From Page One)

the examinations No matters of ex- emption will be taken up at the exam nations tomorrow, nothing but the physical examination being considered.
 Method Of Procedure.
 The war department rules as to the procedure to be followed in making the physical examinations are in part as follows:
 Every physical examination of ev- cry person shall be conducted in the presence of at least one member of the local board other than the medical member thereof.
 Tn the making Of the physical ex- aminations, the physician must be sat isfied that the person examined is physically deficient and not physically qualified for military service. in order to relieve the person called for mill tary service from military duty.
 If the physician is in doubt upon this question he is to resolve the doubt in favor of the physical qualifi- cations of the person for military ser vice.
 "A doubt as to physical qualification of the person examined for military service means that the person so ex, amined must be held for military ser vice.
 ''If a person so examined shall be found by the examining physician phy sically deficient and not physically qualified for military service, the board shall cause him to be re-exam ined by another examining physician designated and appointed by the board as prescribed in the regulations, and this other physician shall make the examination without any reference to or regard for, the report of the first examinating physician.
 "A member of the board, if practic- able, who was not present at the time of the first examination, shall be pres ant at the re-examination.
 'If any person examined physically shall be held by the originally exam inging physician to have physical qual- ifications for military service, the board shall thereupon hold such per son for military service.
 Physican's Final Report.
 ''The local board, whereupon the first physical examination the person examined is found to be physically qualified. must adopt the report of the examining physician and cannot de, eide contrary to such report
 "If person has been physically re- examined as hereinbefore stated, and if the examining physician making the re-examination shall have found the person examined physically qualified for military service, the board shall hold him physically capable for mill iary service.
 If both examining physicians shall have found the person so examined physically deficient and the board shall concur in such findings, he shall be discharged from the draft and certificate setting for the condition of such discharge shall be issued to him Tn accordance with the regulations"

Suffrage News and Notes
Edited By MRS. MONROE MCCLURE. $500.
"My cleaning brings mi sheaves from many a field.
Where stronger hands have wrought"

The woman's club movement is
recognized as being one of the most
potent influences in promoting the
woman suffrage movement in Ameri-
ca. No woman in this country can
speak with more authority upon the
subject than Miss Adams, who says
that in her opinion the same women
who exert themselves to secure civic
cleanliness will never succeed in at
tanning the full measure of their USE
fulness to their community and the
country until they have secured the
ballot. In a recent address delivered
at Birmingham, Ala, Miss Adams
said. ''
"Clubs can talk, and meet, and
resolute, and campaign till doomsday
without accomplishing anything, be-
cause they haven't the power to force
to establish the reforms
which will take the graft out of their
pockets. Only through the ballot can
women have a hand in the conduct Of
the affairs of government. Woman
suffrage will clean cities of graft and
corruption, it will establish reforms
when everything else has failed; it is.
the salvation of the American munich.

{ Mono class has ever, in the his
tory of the world proved itself equal
to legislatingf Justly - continuously
justly-for any other class. And man
legislating as a class for woman as
a class has been no exception to the
universal rule.
Men, making and interpreting laws
for women as well as for themselves,
were over a hundred and fifty years
in deciding that the word youth"
might include girls as well as boys,
and the free-school system of the
country might be as widely utilized
by girls as by boys. 1t took a period
much longer for the beginning of the
doctrine Of equally pay for equal work
to be ven lisped. "'
Men, making and interpreting laws
for women as well as for themselves,
were an astonishingly long time in
reaching the doctrine that a woman's
property is ever so remotely her own.
1t was less than twenty years ago
in 1894-that a sheriff waited at the
church door Of a certain town in Ken
lucky for the conclusion of a marriage
ceremony; that ceremony would make
the woman's property the mans with
out any further ado about it-any
fuss and feathers with deeds and sig
natures-and,, the sheriff, having a
judgment for debt against the man,
waited in order to be able to seize at
the most, readily available piece
Of the BRIDES property. 1t happened
to be the bridal coach and horses.
Men, legislating for women as well
as for themselves, have not at all
universally decided that a mothers
guardianship rights in her children
are equal to a fathers. In not all the
are the rights of parents equal
yet; and it was not until 1893 that
the law in New York State recognized
the mothers rights in her children as
equal to the fathers.
