But to 60 on with the story OF war
without the Red Cross. Reverend
Bakewell can tell only n little part OF
the horrors of such warfare. One OF
the things that the soldiers suffered
most from was monotony-yes. and
the "blues." The soldier Of today does

Another Restriction,

Brokers are having a hard row to hoe
these days in obtaining sufficient money
on loans to run their business. During
normal times brokers take Stock Ex-
change collateral to an international
banking houses and receive as a loan
ninety day sterling bills which they sell
and use the proceeds to carry customers
stocks. When the bills matured they
entered the foreign exchange marker
and purchased sterling cables and made
remittance. The cost OF borrowing the
money has therefore been dependent
upon the difference between what was
received for the sterling bills and the
price paid for the sterling used to take
up the maturing bills. With the recent
advance in sterling. however. brokers
are refraining from obtaining money In
this manner through fear that the price
OF sterling might advance too much to
make 1t desirable to obtain such a loan.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Interest Revived in Coppers.

Strength OF the copper shares was a
feature of the business done early in the
session. Several weeks ago Boston
operators attempted to revive interest In
the copper stocks, and after marking
prices up slightly abandoned the task
owing to the restrictions placed by the
banks on loans secured by Stock .Ex-
change collateral Another attempt was
made yesterday on the theory that with
the United States Government taking
more than 95 per cent. Of the copper pro-
duction of the nation and South and
Central American business interests
looking for the red metal at any price
the next quotation fixed by the Govern
ment will probably be at a higher level.
When the Government recently placed an
order for copper wire a group of South
American interests was in New York to
place large orders for the same product,
but they were told that they would have
to walt indefinitely, notwithstanding
their Willingness 10 pay a much higher
price than that fixed by the Federal au-
thorities. The demand for copper after
the war is expected to be much in excess
Of production. and with practically no
new producers of Importance the bulls
on the copper shares are predicting un-
usually higher prices for the metal.

New Haven.

Strength of New York. New Haven
and Hartford securities In a quiet and
heavy market attracted much attention
and was attributed to reports that the
contract to be made with the Government
Is very favorable. The rise was greatest
in the New Haven 3h per cent. nom
convertible bonds due 1854. which rose
slightly more than ten points. The avs.
due 1947. advanced seven points, while
the New York. Westchester and Boston
first AVS rose little more than seven
points. Buying of New Haven stock
followed the advance of the bonds and
did not take place until the last half
hour of the session.

Non-Dividend Payers Popular.

Non-dividend paying rails and indus
trials are becoming more popular with
wealthy investors who will be hit hard
est under the proposed new tax rate.
The recent strength Of the low priced
rails has been due to a considerable de-
gree to purchases by rich people who.
rather than pay the proposed heavy
taxes on income from choice investment,
are placing a substantial part OF their
money Into stocks from which there will
be no dividends, but which are believed
to be selling on the bargain counter and
will probably advance after the war.
These wealthy investors believe the
probable advance In stocks they have
purchased will more than offset the sum
they would have received in income on
dividend paying issues and at the same
time result in a saving of the taxes that
would have to be paid on the income re-
ceived from dividend paying shares.

Many brokers who will come within
the new draft law have started making
preparations with view to leaving the
financial district and entering the Gov
ernment's service. This will materially
decrease the attendance on the floor Of
the Stock Exchange. especially among
the younger element, who are the most
active in the stock market. The clerical
forces In the brokerage houses are also
expected to be hard hit. and this will
curtail facilities to such an extent that
speculation will be automatically re-
duced by reason of the inability OF the
brokerage houses to obtain efficient heir
to replace those who will be drafted or
enlist.

Tobacco Financing.

There was quite a difference Of opin-
ion in the financial district yesterday as
to whether the American Tobacco Com
pany has sold s25.000,O00 of notes to
a group OF local bankers. In one quarter
1t was declared that the sale had al
ready been concluded. but at the Offices
OF the institution that Is expected to
head the syndicate which expects to
offer the securities to the public II was
declared the sale had not been made. 1t

est at the rate OF per cent. a year.

Notwithstanding the burdens placed

chases were declared to be based on the
expectation that the oil companies>will
emerge from the present controversy
over their status without the cohfiscation
of their properties and a belief that the
earnings of the Mexican oil companies
will be unusually large after the war
owing to the demand for cheap fuel oil

CAME FROM DAMAGED STOCK
Idea of RIottino Paper Was the Direct Result of Act of Careless
 Workman.

Blotting paper, like many another valuable discovery, was found entirely by accident. One day in paper min in Berkshire, England, careless work man forgot to put in the sizing and it was necessary to throw out the entire lot as spoiled. Later the angry pro- prietOr sat down to write a note and possibly for reasons of economy used a sheet of the condemned paper. To his increased annoyance the ink spread all over the paper and he WaS about to give up in disgust when the thought struck him that it might be possible to use the paper for absorbing ink in place of the sand then universally used After some successful experimenting he was able to dispose of his entire damaged stock under the name of blot ting paper.
 From that time on plotting paper came into general use. At first 1t was always pink in color red rags being used. Red was a fast color and diff cult to bleach, hence the red rags were useless in manufacturing writing pa paper. But as the color of plotting pa- per did not interfere with its useful ness, red or pink was as good color as any other, and thus provided a means of utilizing otherwise wasted material.

MEANING OF JACoBITE TOAST

"To the little gentleman In velvet" was a favorltc Jacobite toast in the reign of Queen Anne. BY "the little gentleman in velvet" the Jacobites meant the mole that raised the hum mock against which the horse of King William III (William of Orangel stumbled while riding in Hampton court. The king was thrown heavily 10 the ground, breaking his collar bone A severe illness ensued under which the kings feeble constitution gave way, and he died early In the year l702. He left no children and the crown passed to Anne, sister of Will Hams deceased wife, Queen Mary, md a daughter of the deposcd king, James II. It was the plan of the Jacobltes to bring hacl, to the throne James the Prptrndrr son. if was claimed of James II by his second wife, Mary of Motlrna. The execution Of their plans was not attempted until the house Of Hanover came to tho throne. The nt- tempt of the prctGndcr James in lTi5 was a miserable failure, but inc at- tempt of his son, Prince Charlie, in l7Ia. was q moro formidable affair He collected considerable force In Scot land, invaded England and reached Derby before compelled to rotreut, He was finally defeated at Culloden.

Japanese Arts and Letters.

The Yamato association has been formed by distinguished Japanese cit- izens for the purpose of making Nip pon's achievements in arts and letters better known to the western world. Its promoters believe that Japanese civil ization is not correctly understood by the vast majority of Occidental people. Her naval, military and scientific ad- yancement is recognized, but the West has yet to comprehend the significance of her achievements in the humanities. The Japan Magazine, commenting upon the new organization, says :: ''Many foreigners are disposed to look upon Japan as merely a military na- tion, whereas her most important side is the genius of her unique civilization and character. If people could get glimpse of the soul of JapaR they would have quite different opinion of her. This can best be had from Jap anese art and literature, which in many ways are equal to those of the West. Even those Occldentals who try to ap- preciate Japanese art prefer the least representative art of the nation. And as for Japanese literature, 1t Is prac- tically unknown among western peo- ple," 7aT
 The association will publish works on Japanese history, literature and art and make translations into European languages of the best works of Japan csc writers, ancient and modern: in addition its endeavor will be to pro mote the improvement of the national music and drama.

PATRIOTS
LIFE INVOLVES ABOUT CLUBS
institutions in Havana Have an lnfiu- ence Probably Not Felt In
 Any Other City.

In Havana the whole political, social and commercial life pivots on the clubs. They are a tremendous influence in every way. They are of all kinds, of all sizes, of all degrees of expensive ness and exclusiveness. The largest are the so-caried "centros," which were founded under Spanish rule, by men of Spanish birth, in order to furnish bond and q meeting place for men from the same province Of Spain. Thus the "Centro Gallego" was founded for Galicians, and the "Centro Astruino" for Austrians. The former of these is now the largest club in the world.
 Besides these centros. there are nua merous other sorts of clubs. There are clubs for the laboring man, where for $1.50 month he gets not only the sn- cial and conyiNial privileges of the club house, but benefit and protective insur- ance, night school advantages for his family, Il hospital for himself, even the services of dentists and opticians. One club goes so far us to maintain an asylum. On the other hand exclusive clubs of the conventional type are not lacl1ing-clubs for the rich, yacht clubs, uthletic clubs and political clubs. Ha- vana's motto seems 10 be: "To each man club according to his needs"
 Practically without exception these clubs, large and small, have housed themselves in beautiful buildings. ] White marble walls, statuary and mu- ral painting, pillared halls and foun- tained courtyards reflect the artistic spirit of Latin America. Havana's clubs go far toward making her beautiful city.

Natural Mortar Beds,

Who invented mortar? Some pre- historic person, who in all likelihood hit upon the combination by sheer luck. The mortar used by the ancient Greeks and Romans was the same stuff that we use.
 But nature was in advance of the human discoverer by some millions of years. In Texas and Kansas, extend ing over vast areas, is a geological for nation known in that region as the mortar beds" It is a stratum con- posed of sand, clay and lime, which, originally fluid, has "set" and become rock.
 The process by which the sedi- mentary rocks of the earth were formed is successfully initiated in the sidewalk pavement of artificial stone, which is spread in a moist condition and allowed to dry. It is better for the purpose than natural stone-made in slabs larger than can be quarried and often formed with grooves so as to expand aud contract without break ing,

An Old Soma.

"The Bostonians" are remembered and will long be remembered from one end of the country to the other for many pleasant things, but more par tlcularly for Henry Clay Barnabee's characterization of the sheriff of Not tingham. and for Jessie Bartlett Davis rendering "Oh. Promise Me" That song was,- to the nineties, what John McCormack's "T Hear You Calling Me" has been to the present period.
 "Oh. Promise Me" for whole dec ade. was hummed and whistled, as we'll as sung. in every nook and cor ner of the land, and wherever Jessie Bartlett Davis appeared. no matter what she had to offer, she would not be excused until she had sung that song.-Christlan Science Monitor.

Glass industry in America.

Glass was first manufactured In America by the people of Jamestown, Ya., during the year 1915. Comments ing on this fact, John Smith lamented that ''the labor of the colony has been. misdirected in the manufacture of ashes, soap, glass and tar, in which they could by no means compete wtth Sweden or Russia" The inhabitants of Jamestown did not agree with tds view, however, and soon afterward commenced the erection of a glass works, the completion of which was inc terrupted by the Indian massacre of 1922. The first. glass factory In North America to attempt the industry on an ambitious scale was built in 178O, at Temple. N. H.. by Robert Hewes of Boston. The workmen, 32 in number, were German deserters from. the Brit ish army, The carelessness of a work man caused the destruction of the plant by fire in 1881. In 1898 glass factory was established in Boston, and since that time the industry has flour. lshed.

The lurking moon leaped forth from behind a bank of clouds and his pulse doubled as 1t revealed the house half square distant where he lived.

 Dark doors and gloom-shrouded houses again. as the orb of night was obscured. He hurried his steps. He entered the building he had aimed for, no longer a bright vision house, as It had been, but the tomb of all his fond est ambitions.
 "A fallen star" he groaned, as he entered one of the suite of rooms, his bachelor apartments. He double locked the door behind him, turned on inc electric light, threw himseda into the nearest chair and with bent hrows sat glarlng into space.
 One hand had reached within his breast, groped there and came forth clasping a small square phial. He hell it up towards the light. it's ruby contents sparkling against the electric radiance. His face had grown prcternaturally pale, but he laughed a low. harsh, cynical laugh, full of desperation and bitterness.
