CLOSING BUSY
AND PROFITABLE YEAR


Washington bankers were busy to-
day, after q few days OF comparative
rest, closing up the AFFAIRS OF 1917, the
busiest and in some respects one OF
the most trying years in their history.
They have educated q thousand peo-
ple into the mysteries Of bond buying
ana the clipping Of coupons, have
handled $4,000 900 bonds for the gov
eminent in the sale Of the two liberty
issues, have spent much money to ad-
yertise the bonds and the war savings
stamps and have generally made them
selves useful to the government and the
people Of the city.
Incidentally, they have made good
profits during the year. for there has
been a good demand for loans at all
times and the rates have been profita-
BILE, although the BIZ and 4 per cent
rate made to installment buyers OF lib
erty bonds has not resulted in direct
profit.
The one great annoyance of the year
has been found in the help problem; the
calls Of the government for service nave ave
substituted unskilled. but willing, labor.
while the temptation Of higher salaries
has shifted and is still causing furth-
err shifting of employees.

ON new YEAR DAY
TRY AGAIN.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1917
Copyright. 1911

The gist of New Year day is-Try
again.
That's why it rolls around once a
year. That's why we hang a new
calendar on the wall, and lay fresh
diary on the desk.
The markings of time have their
spiritual significance.
Every clock tick means that life is
not one big rush. one grand gamble,
where our all is staked upon some one
issue. but it's step-by-step process.
and there are as many opportunities
every twenty-four hours as there are
ton changes daily $1,000 times.
Every clock-stroke says another hour
is gone, a new hour is mine, and 1t may
be better than the last. At any rate,
whatever we have to do, it's only one
hour at a time.
Life as a lump is too much for any of
us. IT is burden to break any mans
back But one hour--we can stand that
and that is all we have to stand So
come on. boys, we'll go through one
hour of it. and we will not tackle the
second hour until it comes to meet us.
Every day is a new life. Every even
ing is d day of judgment. Every morn
ing rs a resurrection. One day is all
there Is to it. and that isn't so much.
We don't have to eat a whole beef
Just glassful. Nor to jump mile
just a step at time.
And all these minor markings are
Jumped and emphasized by New Year
day.
The past year is gone. It's dead. We
are living. The past is Gods. The fu-
ture is ours.
All our mistakes, humiliations, fail
ures, follies and stupidities: our jeal-
ousies and heart-breaks, our wounds
and bruises: all the whole league Of
miseries that make life lame and
weary; all, all are gone. swallowed up
in that big. black hole we call the past,
submerged in the same dark waters
where lie Caesar and his legions. Abe
lard and Heloise, Solomon and Tubal
Cain.
On New Year day let US put on our
morning faces" Let US begin again
with all things new--babies and chicks
furry kittens and cubs. youth and adj
venturei
The sun is climbing. The winds right
from heaven. Love is newborn daily
while hate grows old.
Come, kiss and make up! Drop the
past. as your night garment. and put
on fresh clothing of hope. Wash your
face in the cool waters Of faith-it's
ever running, runs out from under the
great white throne, and runs through
the city streets.
Come! No more tears and regrets
Take your hat. old friend. and come
with me. Well go to meet the adj
venturous future.
Undismayed and unafraid wen greet
the New Year

INDUSTR|ALS LEADERS
IN VERY FIRM MARKET

NEW YORK, December sl.-At the
immediate opening and for short time
thereafter, the stock market was In

This to, despite the fact that comment
on conditions was satisfactory and that

Within a half hour. the market pre-
scented an entirely different front, the
declines were very generally recovered
and many net gains of one-half to a
point were submitted.
The strength was more evident in the
industrials than in the rails. the lat
ter doing little more than holding their
own, while some rails actually lost van
tage, Lehigh Valley. Northern Pacific
and some of the low-priced rails show
ing losses.
1t has been pointed out that quite a
number of railroads did not make an
especially good showing In the three
years. 1915-16-17. while several roads
were recovering from receiverships.
Equipment Stocks Leaders.
The equipment stocks were the lead
ers of the industrial list. The assur-
ance that millions must be spent to
bring the condition of the railroads to
best service possible has been the fac
tor in advancing the equipments. Bald

The demand for the industrials con-
tinued throughout the session with
