sund securities It is encouragfng to observe that $15,000,0 900 of teri-year per cent. collateral trust gold bonds offered by the Lehigh Valleys bank CTS were promptly oversubscribed. This is taken to mean that there is plenty of investment funds awaiting attractive offerings.
 Railroad revenues for thetmonth of July are making a better showing. The charging off of back wages on previous months were responsible to some extent for the big decreases dis Ffayed. The gains now being repore- ed are viewed as bullish on the rail- way equipment stocks, whose compan- ies are expected to get orders for locomotives and cars. Offerings of the best railway and equipment stocks are reported small. Low priced rail- road issues continue in favor, especi- ally New Haven, Missouri Pacific and Southern Railway. Investment buy ing continues to be reported in the high priced railroad stocks. It is not to be overlooked that a substantial part of investment now going on in the American market is from foreign sources, representing replacement of holdings sold out at the beginning of the war. This would seem to demon- strate not only confidence as to Allied victory, but also with regard to the attractiveness of our securities.

PADDINGTON JONES.

It was on this date in 1792 that Paddington Jones defeated Abraham Challice at Colchester, England. Jones was the hero of hundred battles and nearly all of them were of an inn promptu nature. Although Jones was one of the greatest fighters of his day he was always ready to scrap at a moments notice. and the Challice battle was one of these sudden affairs. Challice, a giant and the terror of the country, had an idea that all Lon doners were mollycoddles, and when Jones went to Colchester to witness the contests between Gamble and Stanyard and Hooper and Burner, he was openly insulted by the big rural bully. Paddington challenged Chal- lice to fight then and there, and they went at it. The giant was given a terrible drubbing by the Londoner, and was eventually knocked senseless and had to be carried from the ring. The farmers and cattle owners, who had long been bullied by ChalIice, were delighted at his downfall, and they raised a handsome purse for PaddinEon.

1t. The St. PauTs identification of 440 miles of its mountain divisions was made feasible by this means. In some sections of the country electri- flcation would cost more than oil- burning locomotives, according to some authorities. The Southern Pa ciflc and the A. T. & s. F. Railroads are using this kind of fuel with good results. It is estimated that the po- tential water power of the United States is around 60,713,000 horse power, nearly g per cent. of which has been developed. The Northwest ern territory of the country leads in this respect. It Is stated that there is running to waste about 16,00O,000 water horsepower in excess of the steam engine horsepower. The i'm portance of saving coal by utilization subject of conversion into serious con- sideration, wherever possible.

 July imports were $241, 900, 900 whereas in June they reached total of $26O,O00,000.' For the first seven months in the year the imports were valued at $1 787,000,O0O as against $1,779, 100000 for a similar period in 1917
 The gold movement in 1918 has been of much less importance than in 1917. For the first seven months of this year $52,O00,00O represents the imports of gold; in 1917 the imports for the seven-months period was S5O5,OOO,0OO Exports amounted to $29,OO0O,00O this year, as against $272,OOO,OO0 last year.

threshold of another football season we clearaly see what it holds. That football will not be confined to the colleges is apparent. That the pres ence in service of the stars or yes terday leads to the belief that the game should be popular in training camps. And that as the service en- courages and promotes all kinds of sport, especially those of a personal combat nature, camp football not only is assured but is expected to rank with or to even outrank the college brand.
 Couple all this with the fact that service teams will play for patriotic purposes-Red Cross funds, various other war charities, and, last but not least, to raise money with which to buy needed athletic equipment-and the public has a combination for foot ball that will give service sport a front rank. Indeed, our college teams would do well, whenever it is feasible, to devote their efforts tc like patriotic purposes. This is nc time for athletic treasuries to wax ] fat. Neither is it time for athletic coaches to be demanding salaries due on longtime contracts The army | needs the athletic coach here an6 abroad even more than the college l needs him.
 With all this in mind my weekly articles on football this fall will be 1 devoted to the football hero who wear. the uniform of service. Big moment, in big games will be featured, bu+ the hero of these games must qualify as fighting man in the cause o+ democracy. The football public i! proud of this fellow and wants tc know more about him. And featur
 ing him as he played may be the
 means of leading the college player. of the fall to follow his high purpose 1 and dedicate their all to our flag. If in a small measure, this aim is full
 filled while giving the reader all tht
 fun. science and spirit which zoe, to make football the great game i
 is, the time spent in gathering tn,
 material for and in writing these. ar
 ticles will have been well used.

HOPE FOR FOOTBALL
 AT YALE THIS FALL

New Haven, Sept. 4-When ques- toned yesterday regarding Yale's football plans for the fall, Prof. Rob- ert N. Corwin said:
 "I hope it will be possible for us to have games with Harvard and Prince ton and with teams from certain camps or stations; but the possibility as well as the desirability of such games will depend absolutely on mili- tary necessities.
 "It has been a necessary policy dur ing the war to keep our plans and schedules elastic. We know not what the morrow is going to bring forth In thisc risis I rather encourage ouI men to take that view of it. It is much better to talk of the game o1 tomorrow than to institute a long and formal schedule"
 Prof. Ccrwin said that there were 5000 Yale men in the army and navy He himself has son who has been a the French front for the past si1 months.
