NEW YORK, June 19.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
Today's stock market was an even
duIler affair than yesterdays and
much the same conditions governed
operations which were OF profession
al hue vivid in its intensity.
A good undertone to prices ruled,
but net changes were slight
One Of the exceptions was Royal
Dutch. A vigorous advance in Amer1-
can Locomotive again suggested pool
activities in that quarter. Baldwin
and the steel group were steady to
strong. General Motors achieved a
gain of more than two points. Marine
preferred suffered a rather sharp re-
action.
Prices eased off in the last hour.
Recessions Of point or more were
common, Steel went below 103 and
Marine preferred dropped back to 1O2
as compared to the days high at 1ofA.
Baldwin also receded two points from
the top.

Good Brake Lining Important
The Importance of having auto
mobiles equipped with good brake,
lining, as, for example, the kind that
is thermoid hydraulic compressed
and impervious to moisture, gasoline,
oil and dust, is emphasized by the
brake inspection movement. Many
of the American cars now going to
the front are equipped with the
thermoid lining.
Automobile brakes, in the opinion
of experts, should be as effective
when applied by the woman driver
as when applied by strong man. A
test was made recently IN which 9
truck driver was found who could
exert a pedal pressure of 400 pounds,
No woman driver could do that, the
experts say, yet, with thermoid
hydraulic compressed brake lining,
a woman driver should be able to
stop her car as quickly as the truck
driver.

too one fees the invasion of bingham
for the quaint old time patterns OF
this material are being reproduced
in organizes.
Volumes could be written on the
combinations of colors and the old
time favorites that are being so
widely used today. Ever since the
government asked the patriotic wo-
men of our country to refrain from
the use of khaki, there has been a
veritable riot of colors. Flaming rosy
pinks, corn flower blues with that
marvellous touch of violet in the
blue, green that seem to have stolen
their colors from the April trees,
and yellows and tans, and grays and
lavenders, by way OF contrast TO
the more intense hues. All white
promises to be very smart for sum
mer. as well as black and white.
If one wishes to be very elegant,
one puts just a touch of embroidery
on ones very best dress. OF course
the embroidery may, in reality, be
beads or braids, but it all comes un
der the general title of embroidery
On the dress illustrated here the
, simple design is ON the waist The
dress is of French gray wolfe, and
the design is worked up in white
f, beads and silk of darker shade OF
gray. The long lines of the dress
! are very good, as are the three
! quarter tucked sleeves, and the tucks
in the skirt.
The styles this year are very APP
; propriate for the bordered materials
and embroidery flouncings. The short
little Elton jackets have straight
| lower edges, so the narrow flounc
! ings may be used, and the tunics
| may be made of the wider flouncings
The tight little underskirts and the
waist usually match the material OF

bordered voiles and crepes, as well
J as challis and silks, which are most
attractive developed in the simple
styles of this year

The worst habit that the boys

1t is then they east their lot in

lessons taught them by their
mothers are there counteracted

bad. The boys who spend their
their evenings in the sacred pre-

of the republic; they will fill our
legislative and congressional halls,
and sit in judgment upon men and
measures, while the boys who run
the streets will fill our peniten-
