Story About a Head of Hair

Holland probably to neutral because

The business of being neutral is becoming daily more
difficult and distressul and Hollands dilemma strongly
Aesop very fond of relating You Mr. Aesop
Phygan slave in the time of King Croesu and occasionally
to ja So when he found bimself in this neutral or
Hollandsh, predicament he would pull yarn about like
this to excuse himself which, you'll have to admit,
middle-aged became gone two sweethearts
one OF whom was snster of experience and years stand

Now, when the man called on his elderly, advanced
sweetheart. she would climb upon his lap to oygag and
she would always notice that he had dark hairs in his head
This worried her. she thought de trop to have
heart who appeared than She and she pulled
out all the dark hairs she could with pleasure and cunning
little wiles to make him sit still for it.
However when he called his young fresh, beautiful
and gay sweetheart and she roasted on him and lovingly
her around his neck as the beautiful and gay

METALS

New York, May 5.-The steel mills are now pledged to divert their entire output to the government, and for the next 50 days or more little or no material will be available for private enterprise. The heaviest demands are for shipbuilding steel and railroad equipment. The rail- road administration has placed orders for the lemaining 70.00o freight cars of the 10000 designed for purchase The contracts were let to some 16 different builders. Wood will be substituted wherever possible. but the steel tonnage will be considerable. The cost of the cars which will provide a per cent profit for the builders, it is estimated, will run between S250 0o0, 900 and 5000 OW. Orders are expected soon for addi- tional locomotives and steel rails.
 The war industries board has allowed selling agents and dealers in scrap iron and steel to charge a commission of 3la per cent to the consumer to be treated as a separate charge.
 Pig iron distribution is to be regulated to provide, first. for war needs, which will probably leave nothing for private purposes. Already some heavy tonnage has been diverted from nonessentfal in- dustries to concerns engaged upon gov ernment work The output of iron con- tinues to increase. but the furnaces are still unable to meet requirements.
 No decision has yet been reached as to the price of copper after May 3l, but the opinion is prevalent that there will be no change.
 Lead IS quiet with a tendency to weak en. thousa the price is still cents.
 The tin situation is still critical and the United States government is taking steps for conservation of the metal, which has reaeher exorbitant prices

MARKET REVIEW
STOCKS AND>BONDS

New York, May 5.-Stocks were inIIu- drive, better industrial conditions as de- noted by the United States Steel report, further evidence of federal liberality to- ward railroads. and the war situation.
 Of these factors the news from abroad was most potent, although no illusions were felt in responsible financial quar- ters regarding the continued gravity of that situation.
 Professional operations in special stocks comprised very large part of the moderace dealings, rails forming an ln- significant portion of the whole. Earn ings of railroads offered hope of sub stantial improvement, as indicated by the March statements already at hand.
 It was considered yet too early to fore- cast accurately the effect of the govern ments action which virtually comman- deers the output of steel and iron, put activity at full capacity and fair returns seems to be assured for an indefinite period.
 Coppers and allied metals were held back by delay in determining new prices. but in trade circles the opinion inclined toward an upward revision by the war board The further slump in cotton was hailed with satisfaction by bankers and converters of that staple Local bank loans remained unusually low, but the continuation of the Liberty Loan is ex- pected to bring new demands from spec uiative and mercantile sources. Author itative advices respecting general busi- ness and crop conditions were encour- aging.
 Inability of Italian banking interests to stabilize exchange was the only un- toward feature in the market for foreign remittances, fires falling to a new min imum.

KNIGHTS OF GRIP" ID MATCH WITS ON
 BASEBALL FIELD
Local Post T. P. A. to Take on U. C. T. in Hectic Diamond Struggle for
 Red Cross Benefit

Faint often those knights of the grip known as the U. c. T. and the T. P. A., match wits on the athletic field-their skirmishes being for the most part smoking room banter-but sometime during the last week of this month they are going to lock horns in one of the most hectic diamond strug- gles ever staged between the four bases of Uncle Rick Woodward's bovine pasture. It seems that there has been considerable boasting among these mileage toters" as to the rrowess of their respective hines and rivalry has reached such point that the fur is expected to fly when This umps" cries play ball."
 The game is the outgrowth of some Pullman prattle" that has been going on for year. The local post of Travel CTS Protective association, and the Bir- mingham council of United Commercial Travellers No. 172 have been challenging each other for many moons and at last they will get together right out on the stamping grounds of Moley's Barons. To show that their hearts are in the right place, these boys are going to donate the entire proceeds of the contest to the Red Cross.
 Charlie Abrams, who is the Connie Mack of the United Commercial Tray elers, refuses to announce his entire line up. Charlie is thought to have several stars in hiding, on whom he counts to bring home the bacon. The Travellers Protestive association members are clucking themselves over Charities op- tirnism, and they are willing to stake the family roll" on Manager Jim Rob inson's strategy. George Plaisance, who is kinder looking after the details, states that there is not much advantage on either side. George rightfully be- lieves that capacity crowd will turn out to witness the contest and to enjoy the antics of the participants, some of whom are slightly over weight, due, no doubt, to too frequent visits to the dining car.
 In commenting on the prospects of each team MT. Plaisance had the following to say about some of the 300 hitters who will take part:
 Jim Robinson is manager Of the Travellers Protective association team and as he is known as hard worker and a good judge of men, he is expected to make the genial Charlie look to his laurels. J. D. Leslie. the star comedian

Navy Learns to Make Pies

Navy Learns to Make Pies
 John Kenelm Winslow, in the World Outlook.
 Mrs. Wilson. who is teaching the navy
 to cook, is an extraordinary person. She started out being different when she
 was born, the boidest of blonde babies, in
 conventionally brunette Creole family.
 She had inherited dauntless spirit of
 adventure from her French and Spanish
 ancestors, and she proceeded to have real adventures in her pursuit of that most conventional of feminine arts cooking.
 When she was IT years old she entered the kitchen of the old St. Charles hotel in New Orleans. That was the begin ming.
 For F years she served her apprentice ship at Paris, at Buckingham palace un- der that most economical of housewives, Queen Victoria, and the remaining years in Italy. and later at Heidelburg, where she studied food chemistry. She was running normal school for chefs in Philadelphia when Lieutenant
 Commander Payne of the Naval Home there asked her to take classes in train ing naval cooks. q didn't know what to charge" Mrs. Wilson explained, because l never had
  teered."
 For nearly a year she has been work ing without pay-and besides her time
 and energy and sympathy. she has given even her automobile to the gov ernment.
 I'm not even 'dollar-a-year' woman" :" she said "The government has offered
 to put me on salary, but I feel that l
 can do more good through volunteer work"
 Her first class of 8 men was organized early last June, and in five weeks the
 men were ready to put to sea as com potent. scientific cooks. They had learned not only how to cook. but what to cook and why.
 While MT. Wilson was preparing her second class at the Naval Home, there
 came urgent appeals from Boston and she packed her bag and boarded the train with two sailor cooks from her first class.
 In 10 days she returned to Philadelphia, leaving a well organized class in charge of the two young men. Admiral Ross, who inspected the Naval Home and it's surroundings recently. said that it was the best school of it's kind in the country-and supplemented his re-
 marks by donating to the class a con- crete building, 270 feet long. to be erected on the grounds of the Naval Home. There Is an informaiity and true de- mocracy about the cooking class which is said to belong to the French army alone, yet behind it there is the strictest discipline and respect toward rules. Each of these sailors lives on exactly
 s2 cents a day, and lives we'll on it. They get up early and work hard aR day long cooking and washing and doing secreta-
 rial work indoors, shopping, shoveling snow and chauffeuring out of doors.
 Their idle moments, except on Satur- days and Sundays, are few Mrs Wilson has recently opened her third class at the submarine base in New London It is the first cooking class ever
 held within a fort and it will prepare the men to cook in submarine kitchens Eventually Mrs. Wilson expects to open a chain of classes along the coast.

COTTON

New Orleans, May 5.-Although fluctua- tions in cotton here were wide last week. the range being PA to 26o points, the net change vas insignificant, the trading months on the close being to points higher than the previous weeks close except on July, which was net un- changed. At one time prices were 200 to 262 points above the previous weeks finals, while at the lowest levels the weakest months were A. to 50 points under
 The lowest prices were made early in the week, when the market felt re- sumption of the selling movement of the preceding week. At the middle of the week reaction from the decline took place. mainly because of the profit talk ing operations among shorts, but the last half saw selling renewed on large scale.
 Cold and wet weather over the belt caused most of the buying. Late in the week shorts made much of the fair weather prevailing in the cotton region. and, by ignoring the low temperatures, made an effective weapon against values of this feature.
 While it promises to be much of weather market this week, there is al- ways the chance that war or political news will become of sufficient importance to take attention away from the condi- tons surrounding the new crop. Spots at the end of last week also gave signs of furnishing influences which might compete with weather news. Spot brokers claimed improvement in the in- quiry and there were reports afloat that exporting firms had received fairly large allotments of freight room for Liverpool. Should the spot situation develop further along these lines the bulls would be given great advantage
 Cold. wet weather would be with values while bright warm weather would be against them and probably would be the basis for important new operations look ing for fall in the price. It is gener- ally considered that the crop is getting a poor start.
