oratory, at Madison, Wis. have
shown that Engelmann spruce treat
ed by the sulphite process gives pulp
that compares very favorably in color
and strength with that ofwhitespruce.
About 200 board feet of wood is
used in the actual construction of
the average airplane. To obtain this
material it is ordinarily necessary to
work over about 1,50O feet of select
lumber, which often represents all
that can be used for airplanes of 49,
600 board feet of standing timber.
According to one OF the German
forestry journals, the Kaiser, in 1908,
killed 1895 pieces of wild game, in
cluding 70 stays, elk and roebuck. At
that time he had slaughtered total
of 61,730 pieces of game, more than
1000 of which were 5tags, and was
the leading exterminator of wild life
in the world. AS sfaughterer of
men, women and children Since 1914,
however, he has been the foremost ex-
terminator of human life in all his
tory.

STOCKS ARE STRONG
ON HEATLESS change
Sugars. Oils and Tobaccos Lead In
Days Transactions.
By BRoADAN WALL

New York. Jan. 21.-Stocks were
strong today from the beginning
to the end of the market under
leadership of sugars, oil and to-
baccos. Net gains in some were
important. No weakness developed

on an unconfirmed rumor that the
deal for selling ships had been
abandoned. =
Business was done under great
disadvantage, as there was prac-
tically no heat or light and the at
tendance of brokers was light and
of customers almost none. The
movements were due to pool opera
tions.
The idea that the peace is near
at hand persists in many quarters
OF the financial world. this idea be-
ing apparently based on reports
coming out of A Austria and the clos

Most careful investigation fails to
discover any specific new develop

can Petroleum. American Smelters
and the United States Smelling.
Those stocks stood out strong as
market leaders. Every street rumor
connected with them has been run
down and found unfounded. But 1t

The Mexican Petroleum Company
can look ahead twenty years and
see constantly increasing profit I'M

American Smelling Company is in
much the same position.
While Mexican Petroleum Is par
ticularly favored. all the oil stocks
are in line for improvement because
the experience with coal this winter
will convert the last hesitating
shipping man to the use OF oil as
fuel on ocean-going steamers.
Copper stocks were strong be-
cause the companies are really
making large profits at 231-2 cents

relative size of the type In which the
names of these players are featured"

Mr.. Crawford less enjoyable. Marilynn

going in public favor.
And there are plenty OF other bright
spots; in fact, the show itself is dis
tinctly a shining mark among its kind.
The music by Augustus Barratt has
freshness Of melody and phrasing
rare indeed in these days OF worked
over rags. The two Urbanesqus set

suite in a Palm Beach hotel. have
more than ordinary interest Youth
and beauty abound in the chorus, and
the costumes are rich, varied and de-
lightful without the mere grotesquerie

As for the Rockwell. the book is by
Dorothy Donnelly, but the cleverness
and fun have a flavor not usually as
ISOLATED with feminine delicacy. The
story is about the pretense Of one
young woman that she is married.
and OF her sister that she is a widow.

that might be expected IN Palm Beach.
Clifton Crawford has the part of
Albert Van Wyck, an expert in wom-

her despite the revival of her alleged
husband. Mr.. Crawford's inimitable
comedy manner has made him innum-

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH F. PRIToHARD.

Chicago. Jan. A.-The increase in receipts OF
corn and oats at Chicago as well as all other
Western points. Is likely to work against the
price Of both of those grains The manufactur-
ing interests have been Obliged to meet the
prices demanded for both corn and oats, and
some Of the big users Of these grains will make
an attempt to secure supplies at much lower
prices.
Oats were unchanged to hc lower to Hc
higher. and corn was unchanged to hakc higher.
There were no sales Of cash grain in round lots,
and the cash corn market in car lots was un-
changed to SC lower Cash oats were unchanged
The volume of speculation was light in all
commodities. The big men Of the trade were
not inclined to take a hand and the outsider
was an onlooker. Business in the pits was re-
strcted somewhat by the poor wire service.
While pork was 7lsal5c higher, the other hog
products were a shade lower. The cash trade
was confined to small lots on domestic account.
