SOCIETY

BUSINESS at the canteen is a bit
Il dull these days. With new
military orders the enlisted
men are not allowed the freedom of
the conteen except at certain hours
and consequently trade is not as
brisk as in days gone by. Faithful
workers, however. still remain at
the little eatery, ready to serve any
stray man in uniform who may find
his way in during the course of the
day. Knitting has occupied the idle
moments OF the canteeners for some
time, but with the war really over,
the amber needles do not fascinate
as they once did.
A little group of pretty society
girls who work Thursday after
moons have found it very conven-
lent to bring a deck of cards for

place for a bridge game. A peep
through the windows on nearly any
OF these crisp afternoons will dis
lclose to view an interested group
waiting for someone to IBID" and
incidentally. waiting for a hungry
man in khaki.

STOCK MARKET
7lIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilIIIIIIIIlIIII

New York, Jan. 26-Opening-Stoc showed an irregular undertone at the oening of today's market, but soon strengthened on moderate inquiry for leaders, including United States Steel and transcontinental railroads at gains of substantial fractions to a point. Goal shares were represented by Norfolk 6 Western, which rose 1 3-8. Minor sessions were made by Mexican Petroleum, American Smelt- ing and Bethlehem Steel.
 Closing. in stocks during today's short session reflected next Mondays holiday and the uncertain attitude of the speculative element. Prices hardened soon after the open ing, but yielded moderately on pres sure against United States Steel, Cop pers, and equipments. Railroads were relatively the strongest feature, Pa ciics, Norfolk & Western and some of the low priced western group scoring extreme gains of one to almost two points. These were partly sacrificed in the final dealings. The closing was firm. Sales, 275,000 shares. Liberty 3 1-2s reacted from 98.08 to the new low record of 97.94, the first As sold at 96. 90 to 96.SO, and the second As at 96.3G to 9622.

 ARE HELPED BY
 EQUITABLE PLAN

A new method has been evolved by which the stringency in the mortgage market can be overcome by people wishing to secure loans on property. For some time past it has been ex- tremely difficult for the home seeker to obtain loans on property without having to give a bonus or through various forms of expense pay high rate of interest. The Home Purchase plan recently placed before the pub lie by the Equitable Life Assurance Society solves the problem. By this means, six per cent mortgage money is placed on desirable residence prop critics on a basis not to exceed fifty per cent of a conservative appraised value, payment on mortgage to be eX- tended over a period of ten years. There is the additional feature of a monthly premium life insurance for the amount of the mortgage. This is usually issued in the ordinary life form but can also be issued upon any other higher premium form at the regular monthly rates.
 The policy is issued for the max imum amount of thN loan and is as- signed to the Equitable as additional security. If death occurs within the loan period the amount due on the loan will be deducted from the amount due on the life insurance policy and the balance will be paid to the bene- ficiary.
 Home purchase loans are made only in moderate amounts, the maximum limit for any locality being determin- ed by rules fixed by the society but in no event will a home purchase loan be made in excess of $5,00O.
 After cancellation of the mortgage at maturity the life insurance policy may be retained by continuing the monthly instalments which will be re- duced to the EQuitable's regular monthly premium rates for the ori- ginal age of entry. Or the policy may be cashed in for it's then attain ed cash value or converted into paid up policy for the amount stipulated in the policy.
 There are many other exceptional features in this plan that will be ex- plained by the local representative, Percy P. Anderson, 3O6 Fairfield Ave

What Is Concrete?

Concrete-a manufac- tured stone-is made by mixing together Port land Cement, sand and stone Cor gravel.) Var ious proportions of each are used, depending upon the use to which the con- crete is put. About half an hour after mixing these materials together, the mass begin to stiffen, until, in from half-a-day to a. day, it becomes so hard that you cannot dent it with the hand. By a month the mass is hard like stone indeed, hard. CT than most stones.
