Sentiment Divided.

The sharp rally following the unoffl-
cial reports from London that Germany
would accept President Wilson's peace
terms I'm full was not held at the close
except in the case Of some railroad
issues. For a time after this despatch
became public the market continued its
upward course. but the movement.
though OF great breadth. did not reflect
anything moro than traders opinions
for important interests did not have
time to digest the contents of the al
legged German news. 1t was recalled
by some in the financial district that
tho market experienced a sudden sink
ing spell when President Wilson's reply
to Austria was made public last Satur-
day. which again represented only the
opinion OF floor operators. In fact
those closely associated with impor-
tant financial interests are reserved In
their tatements as to the attitude of
industrial and financial leaders toward
the stock market. which Is further evil
dence of the conflicting sentiment OF
these people.

Dividing the Peace Issues.

Investors are showing a discriminate
ing taste for peace issues. for. while the
end OF the war is expected to bring about
a great Industrial boom, 1t is lust as GER
tain that some lines will benefit more
than others. A few weeks ago the coun-
try began TO talk about peace stocks
in rather hazy manner. but brokers'
now note more balanced opirion on the
subject though the desire for informa-
ton on such companies shows no signs
or diminishing, This has led 10 a resume

Increased Income Gratifying.

Another gratifying matter TO railroad
mon was the publication Of the August
earnings OF $50 Glass / roads. showing

ment was due 70 the higher freight and
passenger rates, and It was said that IL
tho same ratio OF increase was main
tanned until the end of the year tho OPP
Grating income deficit might be cut In
half. Some even believe that the earn
ings of the last four months will show
even greater gains. and 1t may happen
that the decrease OF S220.405,417 for the
eight months ended August Fl last will
be entirely wiped out by the end OF the
year.

Depreciation Matter Settled.

Railroad men were somewhat cheered
yesterday by the settlement Of tho de-
probation question In connection with
the standard railroad contract. for, ac-
cording to local railroad interests, the
settlement IL highly favorable to the
roads The basis OF the adjustment
cannot be ANNOUNCED at this time. but
the rates agreed upon are said to DO
very fair. and when It Is remembered
that tho original purpose OF the Rail-
road Administration was to make he
roads take care of this item out OF their
rental allowances the Importance of the
agreement can DO better appreciated.
Tho rates decided upon are ample to
cover tho depreciation Of the equipment

lieved to be partly responsible for the re-

fact that the integrity OF the roads

Public utilities are placed In the first
class by this firm as are a number n,
other corporations that have suffered
more or less from high costs during the
war period. The rails are also Included
principally because their securities have
been Influenced by factors which should
disappear with the return Of peace. In
the second class are named the tobacco

whlcn may not be materially affected by
peace. but wlNch have nothing IN faar

States steel, United States Rubber and
corporations OF this type are put in the

benefitlng greatly from war profits they
can continue to make big profits in
peace times.

A Raise I'm WAGES.

Everybody likes to have his wages
raised, and everybody feels q little
thrill Of pride when he is told he is
going to be paid more for his work.
Did you ever figure it out that you
were being paid wages when y6H go
to school, and can have them raised
every month if you want to? Sure.
You study, and that's work. You get
paid for your work in knowledge. Sup
pose this month you bring home a re-
port card which shows you have bsen
only fair In arithmetic. That's not
bad. But you want your wages raised.
So you work a little harder and NEXT
month the report is good instead OF
fair. You've had salary increase.
That's the only way to look at it,
From the American Boy.

HEART OF BRITISH EMPIRE
Good Reasons Why Trafalgar Square,
In London, Has Been Given
That AppeIIation.

Trafalgar square has been called the
heart of the British empire. the most
truly English spot in London. It is
not of Leicester square or of Picca-
Oily that London Tommy dreams, but
Of Trafalgar square, with the statue
Of Nelson in the center. The statue
on the slender column is Englands
bestowed hero. The figure Of Nelson,
three times the natural size. is reared
145 feet in the air, with Landseers
four lions of bronze at the base.
Many of the most important build
ings of the city are grouped around
the square. The National gallery, with
its art collection, faces the Nelson col
umn. The collection was begun In
1924 and is one Of the finest in the
world. In the upper part of the square
is the church Of st. MartinS-in-the-
Field, where Nell Gwyn lies buried.
This last bit of information is apt to
interest the visitor more than the fact
that Bacon was christened at the
church's altar.
The column stands at the crossing OF
some Of the most famous streets in
London. Charles the First walked
down Whitehall to his execution. The
Strand, branching from the square, is
the main artery Of the city as well as
the favorite meeting place of the peo-
pie. Busting, noisy, crowded, fond
ly believed by Londoners to be broad.
it is the busiest street in the empire.
The principal shops and many Of the
hotels are on this street.

In many ways the Firms area very

It is during the terribly cold months
that the Firms reyel in the mighty

vastly impressive In the other rooms
of Finn home as wen. The tops Of
these monster stoves are perfectly fiat,
and steps lead up on one side.
When the weather becomes bitterly
cold and bleak, the entire family win
take quilts and pillows and, mounting
to the top Of the big heater, spread
down their bedding and sleep very
comfortably and enntentedly On the
hard, hot bricks until nrEnfng.
