New York, Jan. 2-Opening.- The

tial~ gains, based largely upon the
course Of the International events over

issues were foremost, but - part Of
the list was neglected. Transac tions
were moderate. in volume, except IL.
U. s. Steel, which opened with II, 600
shares at 108 to 3-4, an extreme gain
of IL points. Allied industrials
gained as much or more in some in
stance with one to three points for
coppers, motors, sugars and petro-
leums. Marines were strong with a s
point gain for Atlantic Gulf and West
Indies Later quotations were at
higher levels.
Noon-Advances of the. first hour,
which ran to over 3 points in steel,
with to points for the shipping
group, were checked by heaviness in
rails and low-priced issues The set

FLAG AN ARISTOCRAT.
This Wild Flower Is the Ancestor Of
the Garden Iris.

This Wild Flower Is the Ancestor OF
the Garden iris.
AS the ancestor of the stately iris
of the garden, this wild flower belongs
among the first families" Of the coun-
try. 1t occupies the same position
among the flowers that the Mayfower
descendants occupy in Boston society.
It leads the grand march at the Colo
NAL Danes ball and waves at the
head Of the parade Of the Ancient and
Honorables. It's called the blue flag.
To return to floral lore, this aristo-
crat displays something besides an
cestry. Witness it's ingenuity in per-
petuating itself.
In the laws Of the flower kingdom
it is absolutely necessary that the blue
flag be cross fertilized-that is, for the
pollen Of one flower to be carried to
another To guard against self fertili-
zation the flower hides its stigmas in
pockets, where it's own pollen cannot
reach them.
But the blue flags cleverness does
not stop here. Since it depends solely
on the pollen from other blossoms, it
calls on it's friends, the bees, to bring
the pollen. To make the work Of the
bees as easy as nossoble the flower
provides a little porch" at the door
to its honey chamber as a landing
place for the insects in their flight

STOCK AND PRODUCE
MARKETS STRONG AT
PROSPECT OF PEACE

Chicago, Jan. 2-Wheat prices shot
upward today in response to the
answer of the entente allies to the
four central powers negotiations for
peace. Prices showed a rise of nearly
five cents bushel. May wheat
touched 1.79 at the opening as
against LIAM to " at the close on
Saturday. July leaped to $146,
whereas the latest figures Saturday
were $1.411s to w..
New York, Jan. 2-Prices jumped
upward on the stock market at the
opening today, the so-called war and
semi-war issues being in especial de-
mand, with U. S. Steel at 108 to ga,
on large transactions. Unfavorable
prospects for peace seen in the en-
tente note published since the market
closed Friday, were generally assigned
as the reason for the upward move
ment.

serves to call attention to the School
of Sociology conducted in conneetios
with Loyola University. Besides
splendid course in the fundamental
principles of sociology, the school aims
to prepare its pupils for social and
charity work of all kinds by practical
courses in social economy and civics.
It is located in the heart Of Chicago
and is thus able to combine practical
work with theory. In addition to this,
many Of the lecturers are engaged in
actual social work and can thus give
give to the students the experience in
the field which they enjoy. The school
is conducted with the same thorough
ness which characteriZes all the var
ious undertaking of the Jesuits and
fol all those desiring to engage in this
large and splendid field, offers ideal
facilities for modern, thorough and
wholesome preparation.

CORONER HOLDS
JITNEY DRIVER
FOR FATALITY
Recommends Legislation to
Govern Operation of \
Public Autos.

New Haven, Jan 2.-Thei carrying
of passengers on the running boards
of automobiles, operated for hire and
the overcrowding of such cars is con-
demned and legal enactment for its
prohibition recommended by Coroner
Eli Mix in a finding today on the
death Of John F. ST. Clair. The death
of ST. Clair occurred Dec. 13 from in
juries, received when he was struck on
Dec. IL while crossing the street by a
"jitney' car driven by Peter Wake.
The coroner finds that Wake was
driving from 20 to rs miles an hour on
one, Of the principal streets in the CEN
ter of the city, that he had passengers
riding upon both running boards, that
he was operating the machine ''in a
careless, reckless and negligent man
ner," and that che is criminally re-
sponsib1e for the death of~St. Clair"
The finding continues:
II am of the opinion that the carry
ing Of passengers on the running
boards and the seating of passengers
upon the doors of motor vehicles is
dangerous to such passengers; and
that by so carrying passengers, the
operators of motor vehicles are not
afforded and have not an unobstruct-
ed view of the highway over which
they are travelling. I regard this as
conducive to injuries or death OF Pc
destrians who have occasion to use
our city streets and I recommend such
carrying of passengers by motor We
h1cle be prohibited by legal enact
ment"
