 EVENING AFFAIR

An old man. driving an old horse, an automobile with two young men and two young women figured in dramatic scene on North Central avenue We'd nesday night Patience had ceased to he a virtue with the old man, who is known as Jack Lynch, sometimes farmer and sometimes miner, and he "waded' into the two young men with horsewhip and flOgged them untli they yelled enough.
 Lynch, according to the story, was driving to Phoenix. He struck the Central avenue road several miles out side the city, from a side road. An automobile passed him and his anti quated rig, rattling along behind his antiquated horse, and the occupants laughed at him and called him snail and Rip Van Winkle.'
 The automobile whirled around and sped right at him and his old horse became frightened The automobile passed, just missing the wheels of his old rig Then the automobile came along again. In fact the automobile kept passing him all the way to town while the occupants called out "Rlp and other taunting names.
 Then the automobile stopped at the curb. The old man drove up alongside and stopped
 1 The old man got out and with whip in hand stepped to the automobile and said to the driver: Get out. You took advantage of my age and my old l horse. You might have killed us. Get out and take your medicine.
 The driver refused. Then Lynch said | to the two young women: ] Get out, ladies and go away. Ii these young towards will not get out to fight I am going to lick them where they sit"
 The women got out when ordered | Then the old man let fly with his whip Blow after blow was struck, landing on the face and body of the driver and his partner. Once one of them trieo to strike Lynch, but the whip caught him vicious blow in the face and he fell back shrieking and pleaded with the old man to stop.
 Lynch withdrew his whip and said; i Remember, the next time, that it pays to be gentlemen, especially when yor are with ladies and meet an old man or the road"

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-(Wali Stree) Wall Street took a calmer view today of the price control situation, but pro- fessionals pressed their advantage ten tatively, though rallies of 1 to three points ruled at the close
 There were signs of substantial sup port in war issues and steels. De- presson in motors was emphasized by receivership proceedings against con- cern making automobile parts. Ship ping and rails, especially the former, were conspicious for their comparative strength Other strong and active specialties included Industrial Alcohol, United States Rubber, sugars and few utilities.
 The recovery which became morc general in the final hour, resulted mainly from the customary covering movement Sales amounted to 550,000 shares.
 Foreign exchange retained it's irregu- lar characteristics. The noteworthy feature of the Bank of England state ment was the gain in gold of approxi- mately S5,000,000.
 An irregular tone prevailed in the narrow bond market. Liberty 31a s were quoted at 9954 to 99.60 Total sales, par value, aggregated s3,20o,o0o.

Now there is no place more sanitary than military camp Soldiers securely protected against diseases to whose attacks they would be exposed if they at home.

CHICAGO, Aug. .-NotWithstanding that at first today the final passage of the food control biI did not affect grain values, weakness developed later owing largely to falling off in demand from distillers upon whom the new measure had placed restrictions for bidding the manufacture of alcoholic beverages. Corn, although steady at the close, was 78 to 1 cent net lower at $116% December and $1.1S12 May. Wheat finished unsettled, cents down with September $222. The outcome in oats ranged from F cents decline to 3s cents advance. Provisions wound up unchanged to p cents higher
 Wheat, like corn, showed an early advance, ascribed to disappointment over the cutting down of the govern ment estimate of the domestic yield if wheat, but when corn values headed down grade, wheat followed suit.
 Relative fiimness of oats appeared due to wet weather,
 Provisions scared to new high price records for the season, but receded later on realizing. Close

War and the Pool Rooms

Some of the young who hang about the pool rooms would be better off in the war We are not speaking of the obvious fact the war would make men of them that therefore they would be better for 1t. If they should survive they would be no less men than they now. Neither they nor the world would have lost anything worth saving
 We mean that these young while they live would have more satisfactory lives. 1t is the po- siton of them rather precarious unsatisfactory Some of them have to Init the old man" or the "oid woman" for cigarette money and for small sums so that they may buy 21a cent cue now and then to Keep up semblance of standing about the pool room Boys who only loaf there all the time and spend no money afflict the proprietors with sore eyes Pool rooms are not places of eleemosynary entertainment
 If the young pool room habtue has no indulgent parents or other relatives to whom he apply touch and then, he must hustle in some other direction That often leads him into dsreputabe transactions small larceny petty check -kiting and then the jail
 In the army he would have none of these teu,rta- tions He would be of his cigarettes He would nave entertainment all the time. When the enemy was not furnishing he would be back of the firing line where places prepared for his amusement could hold his head up among the millions of his fellows
