The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for S4.7jit; the intrinsic par
ity is $4S65s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
With which to settle accounts in thi,
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.

Money and Credit

Money on call at the New York Stock
Exchange was in abundant supply yes
terday and the ruling rate remained
unchanged at 2l4 per cent. Some loans
were made on a "a per cent basis.
While there was no quotable change
in rates for time funds on brokers
Stock Exchange collateral, increasing
firmness was again reflected in this
market yesterday. Only a limited
amount of business is being transacted
in the longer msturities owing 90 the
numerous uncertainties, which are re-
straining both lenders and borrowers
from charging commitments. Mixed
money is quoted now at to AZ per
cent for all maturities. Industrial
loans hold around AZ per cent.
Ruling rates on money yesterday,
compared with a year ago, were as fol-
lows:

Luke McLuke Says

Some men certainly would be smart
if they were only half as bright as
their noses.
The difference between men shop
pers and women shoppers is that a
man shopper will pay fifty cents for
81 article that he needs, while a
woman shopper will pay fifty-nine
cents for a twenty-nine cent article
that she doesn't need.
We are proud of the American peo-
pie during this campaign of giving
that Old Glory may triumph. The
old-fashioned man whose heart was
touched through his pocketbook now
has 'son whose pocketbook is
thoucheGt through his heart.
If flouh keeps on going up it will
soon be as expensive as the other
face powders.
The fellow who gets you into
trouble is seldom the same one who
shows up to help you out.
What has become of the old
fashioned man who fired the first
shot of the civil war? He used to
die once a year, but we haven't heard
of him for sometime.
A young widow can act so inno-
cent that she can wonder how a bride
can be rash enough to take honey
moon trip with a man that she knows
little or nothing about.
Married men preach all the econ
omy and married women practice all
the economy.
When they are first married she
knows that they are going to get
along nicely because he earns twenty
five cents an hour at his work. But
a little later on she discovers that he
spends fifty cents an hour to play
pool.
A woman adapts herself to a new
order of things more quickly than a
man. A bride calls her husbands
parents mother" and father" while
she is still wearing her wedding
gown.
A woman can't tell what the neigh
bors will do next, but she loses no
time in telling what they did last.
There are all sorts of people in the
world, including the man who is so
dense that 1t is dangerous to joke
with him.
1t takes a stretch of rainy weather
to make a man resolve to make hay
while the sun shines.

Riverside Theatre.

Youthful genius in entertainment
prevails at the Riverside this coming
week. The Dolly Sisters will remain
for an extended engagement, their
popularity making it imperative to
retain them. They have new dances,
new Lucille frocks and female Jass
band Rosie and Jenny Dolly are at
their dancing best. From the River
side they return to the Palace for a
summer run. Another splendid at
traction will be the Kouns Sisters
who made the singing hit of the year
at the Palace. Nellie and Sarah
Kouns are gentlewomen with ex-
quisite refinement and voices of
operate calibre. They sing superbly.
They have vlass, personal charm and
everything that goes to make an act
of this kind delight to music lovers.
They are the singing finds" Of re-
cent years. Joe Laurie and Aleen
Bronson have, been booked back by
popular request in their comical skit,
"Lost and Found" They are great
funmakers and have the gift of
laugh making in the highest degree.
They are soon to be featured in
musical comedy. Other strong Keith
features on the bill are Burt johnson
& Co., Golet, Harris and Morey, Lor-
raine and Pritchard, and Rice, Elmer
and Tom, Hearst -Pathe News and a
Keystone comedy complete the pro-
gram.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS:

We have always been curious to
know why it isn't art unless the fig
ures in the painting display their
chests and some more of their an
atomy.
We wouldn't mind having more
money than brains, because we
wouldn't have brains enough to know
it.
Sunday is the longest day in the
year to the man who is used to stand
ing on one foot in front of the bar
and enjoying his hops.
Why not put war tax on talk and
tax a man a peny for each 100 words
he uses? This would make for peace
and quiet and would soon raise a
fund of at least $500,000, 100000.
There are all sorts of men in the
world, including the fellow who
thinks he should have barbed wire
fence around his field Of usefulness.
A man often wonders why he got
mad when the girls tried to kiss him
when he was small boy.
The man who complains that the
leg show in the theater is too short
is probably the same fellow who COM
plains that the sermon in church is
too long.
1t isn't going to do the man who
worships his pocketbook six days q
week any good to carry the Good
Book on Sunday.
It takes real philosopher to ad-
nit that he is getting his moneys
worth when he is paying alimony.
We may be wrong. But the bet
ting is that the man who spends all
his time being proud of his ancestors
is going to have descendants who are
not going to have much time being
proud of him.

GOING TO FIND OUT

The shocking and grisly story of
the utilization by the Germans of the
bodies of their dead in the maunfac-
ture of fats is to be definitely tested
for it's truth through the chemical
analysis of certain samples of soap
brought to New York by DIR. George
Fourchet, who has just returned from
a long period of service on the west
ern front. DR.. Fourchet personally
took the pieces of soap from German
prisoners who called it "kadaver"
soap, and said that it had been made
from human fats. DR.. Fourchet has
given samples to chemists here and
has sent other samples to Washing
ton.

stamp out the existing evils. The
matter was referred to the committee.
A Dangerous Street
A communication from Clerk Kelly,
of the School Board pointed out the
danger to the towns tiny tots who
must pass through Cliff street from
Palisade avenue to Gorge road. This
street surely should be put into a
passable condition and it ought to be
done before the fall school term
opens.
To Remove Street Wall
A vigorous protest has been start
ed by the owners of Jersey avenue
and Gorge road, who claim their prop
erty is now valuless because of a
brick wall erected across the street
between Palisade avenue and Gorge
road. This street has deep grade
and the improvement was carried
only midway and wall erected to
make it dead end. On the other
side of the wall there is a deep drop
and the engineer pointed out that 1t
would prove too costly to grade the
entire street, which wouldbe neces-
sary or else to fill in the full length
of the street and then erect high
wall which also would prove costly.
The matter was referred to the Road
Committee on motion of Councilman
Naedler who demanded that some &C.
ton be taken Immediately.
Auditors Report Received
The semi-annual statement of
Auditor Henry M. Hardie was re-

At the adjourned meeting on Thurs
day night communication from Mr.;
Sammis was received He pointed
out several differences in the budget
figures as compared with last years
figures. Members of the finance
committee took exception to Mr..
Sammis' statement, claiming it was
misleading.
Councilman Cohn, chairman of the
finance committee had the following
interesting statement prepared on the
budget figures. He pointed out that
the budget was placed at the same
figures as last year, namely $27 800.
The total expenditure of the borough
would be SAL 900, and to this amount
$500 would be applied from the
franchise tax, and $4,000 from the
uncolleced taxes of 1914, 1915 and
1916. On last years budget there
was no item for the interest on
bonds, which this year is figured at
$21 900; $4,000 has been appropriated
for the Home Defense League. The
new police alarm system will approx
mately figure $1,4OO to $1,000 and
the new siren will cost in the neigh
borhood of $500.
All in all, the improvements con-
sidered, the tax rate will be no higher
than last year.
The members of the Home Defense
Guard were formally named and con-
firmed at the meeting of Monday.
There was some discussion over the
list, but it was finally passed, the
group being voted unanimously.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

A continuation of tendencies of the last day or two seems likely. Liqulda- ton is being allowed to run it's course, and prices in many cases may repeat the recent lows. We think the selling movement is nearing a continuation. however and would expect further sharp declines to be followed by equal ly important recoveries. Stocks with high earnings, big margins of safety over dividend requirements, and hav- ing sustained severe depressions ought to be very attractive on further set backs of consequence. The disclosure of the war taxes imposed secretly on individuals has accelerated investment unsettlement.
 Texas Oil-Texas Oil has been one of the weakest stocks on the list and efforts to dispose of a fair sized block of shares found the market a pretty thin one on the way down. Proposed government control of oil is hitting Texas Oil harder than Mex. Pet, for example. because Mex. Pet. has not been selling as high as might be eX- pected to when it's earnings are con- sidered. Another thing which is oper- ating against Tex. Oil is the fact that the new stock issue, which stockholders had an opportunity to subscribe to some months ago, will soon go on the market.

NEW YORK, Oct 5-Stocks re- yersed their recent course today after an early period of indecision in which some specialties made further ma terial recessions. The rally, which seemed to proceed from a combina- ton of substantial support and short covering, embraced many active issues but was most effective in the invest ment division.
 Interests committed to the con- structive side of the market professed 70 derive much encouragement from ,he expected early adjournment of
 congress and an added factor of fav- orable import was found in the indica- tions of a further relaxation of money rates. The suggestion of the local fed eral reserve board to limt loans on commercial paper to four months was in line with the attitude of the main
 body in Washington.

We were standing yesterday afternoon in front of a showboard with pictures of theatrical people performing in this city. In the middle distance was the picture of the male ingenue of the organi zaton, attired in a heavily belted oveTcoat which seemed to inexperienced eyes to be fur trimmed Leaning nonchalantly upon nothing at all he seemed bask in the October atmosphere of central Arizona We regard this investitive very poor advertise ment for this climate the hottest day in October in the history of the city At any rate owing to the high cost of living, refuse to emulate the belted one at this time of the year in this fair clime.
