TANNING OF "HooLieANs."

The English "Hooligan" corresponds
to the American rough neck. He Is the
fellow who drapes himself about the
corner saloon, spits tobacco juice on
the pavement and makes obnoxious
remarks about passers-by.
Gen. Sir Robert Baden Powell has
long devoted a part of his time to
dhe tanning of young "Hooligans." The
tanning of lions, tigers and other large
pussy cats would be easier but he feels
that it would be less profitable from
the standpoint of the nation. ~
His recipe for doing the job is: First,
catch your Hoolignn; second, make
him an associate member of q scout
troop; third, let him become scout
ms soon as he qualities, which in oo
per cent of the cases has been found

Hubbard Bros. & Co,'s Letter

New iorE, November S,-The mat ket today was quieler, but rather heavy. In the eariT trading there was some demand for European account ap- parently against sales in Liverpoul, which market was very weak This would be the natural result of reduced marine insurance in consequence of the present state of hostilities After this demand was filled the market slowly declined with hedge selling from the south, the principal pressure The short interest here having been much reduced on the recent advance the mar ket Is technically not so strong. The denial of yesterdays armistice report had little effect on prices, a q most optimistic view is taken of the inter- national situation, even though this particular report proves to have beet somewhat premature.

Br HuGH w. RonERrs.

Washington, November S. - Especially Republicans, in charge of both branches of Congress after March f, are planning the most rigorous inquiry into the ex- penditure of every one of the 5000 GOO, coo which have gone into the war. They de- clare they will find evidence of waste and graft and that result the coun- try will elect republican President in 1920
 Senator Martin of Virginia, democratic leader in the Senate, admits that there has been waste and extravaganza, but declares the necessity of the United States preparing in the shortest time possible for the greatest war of history is responsible. He welcomes what is now regarded as certain, an examination by Congress into every phase of govern mental activities. He knows the repub- lcan motive. He does not agree, how ever, that the republicans will carry their point. With Senator Martin stands Sem ator Underwood of Alabama, his right hand bower in framing appropriation Legislation and in devising democratic policy in the upper house. The Ala bamian said today:
 "Of course the republicans will order Investigations They will find evidence of waste, it is probable, and they might find evidence of petty graft. The coun-
