Arc Motors Peace stocksf

Prospective investors in peace stocks
are frequently asking their brokers TO
answer the question as to whether the
motors shares can be placed in this class.
Brokers who really seek TO advise their
customers and who do not have COM
missions upperinost in their minds are
informing their clients that the motors
cannot be strictly classed as peace
shares because, first. they are now using
from 40 to 80 per cent. Of their capacity
In the manufacture of tractors. mine
anchors. truck motors and other war
materials. and second. a lessening Of the
output of these commodities following
the conclusion of peace would neces-
sarily result in loss OF time and curtail-
ment of earnings during the period of
transition from a war to a peace basis.
They say that while the esta blishment
OF peace would result in increased sales
of passenger cars because of an after
the war demand only the stocks of
those companies having the best organ
ization and can turn from a war to a
profitable peace basis in the shortest
time should be considered.

IMPORTERS OF TIN
FEAR A MONOPOLY
Association Protests Control
Given U. s. Steel Products
Company.
BLAMES WAR BOARD
Declares Independents Are
Compelled to Buy Supplies
From Competitor.
WAR BOARD

Immediate steps are to be taken by
the Tin Importers Association. Inc, 20
bring about a reconsideration OF the
project whereby the War Industries
Hoard according to the association. has
vested virtual control of tin imports In
the United States Steel Products Com
pany. a subsidiary of the United states
Steel Corporation. Resolutions adopted
by the association declare that through
the action OF the War Industries Board
a virtual monopoly in the handling OF tin
in the United States has been created,
and the association, consisting of most
Of the tin importers OF America. protests
against a condition which. 1t alleges
would enable the United States Steel
Products Company TO build up vast or
ganization which could be used to con
troll the importation and distribution or
tin In the United States even after the
war. At the same time. the resolution
says. present conditions compel inde-e
pendent tin importers to purchase their
supplies of tin from their chief COM
petitor.
The plans for the world control OF pig
tin were made in London by the Govern
ments Of England. France. Italy and tn,
United States. These plans included pro-
visions for the centralized purchase and
distribution OF pig tin by the Government
OF each country represented.
The War Industries Board thereupon
established prices on pig tin for Ameri-
can consumers at actual cost delivered
in this country. The financing and dis
tribution Of the product was placed IN
the hands Of the United States Steel
Products Company. and the War Indus
tries Board decided that no licenses for
Importation were to be granted any
other concerns. The buying price in the
producing markets Is controlled by the
interallied tin executive In london, ana
according to the authorization issued AT
the time. United States consumers were
directed to procure their requirements
through the United States Steel Prod
ucts Company.
The Tin Importers Association fears
that, through It's war time control over
tin imports and distribution. the United
States Steel Products Company may be
enabled to exercise n monopoly in the
handling OF the product in the United
States which might be lasting.
The association in its resolutions de-
clares that It does not oppose but well
comes such Government Control as may
be necessary during the war. 1t says
the association itself would have been
the logical agency through which to
carry out the Governments policy in
regard to the importation and distribu-
ton Of tin. The resolutions finally ask
that the association be given an oppor-
tunity to lay its griveance before the
proper authorities and makes the request
that II be permitted to submit plans for
the exercising Of stch control over tin as
may be reasonably necessary under the
circumstances. either through price fix
ing, profit limitation or control OF dis
tribution through n general impartial
body AZ is done in rubber, tanning and

There has been considerable switching
from war stocks into high class public
utility issues that are listed on the New

broad market. This switching process
has been expanding as armistices have
been announced. Public utilities have
been bought on the theory that while
the cost OF labor and materials have
been growing steadily during the war
the establishment of peace would be
followed by a readjustment of wages to
a lower level and reduction in the

Every little girl is entitled to few
party frocks, and there is nothing
that her mother likes better than to
provide them. To make them is a
joy, they are so dainty and so simple
and their colors are so fiOwerlike. Of
all fabrics, organdie seems best to ex-
press their naivete and joy of youth !;
that is the reason why it is the
favored material for festive clothes
for the young girl.
Someone is always taking the joy
out of life by recommending dark col
ors, and clothing the little maid in
service suits. She is rescued from
monotony and apathy daily by pretty
little accessories, like collar and cuff
sets, sprightly hair bows, and strand
of beads, perhaps. But birthday and
dancing school parties will recur in
spite of war and everything, and then
she can blossom out at her prettiest.
Two colors in organdie are often
used together, one pale tint banded
with another. Or pale tint is band
ed with white or cream-colored net,
and under the net second harmonic
ing color is used. The pretty frock pic
tured is made this way. 1t is of pale
green organdie banded with net and
has pink satin ribbon backing the

POETS AND THEIR MESSAGE
by Learning a Few Lines of
Poetry Every Day.

Mothers cannot live on bread alone !;
it takes more than furniture to COM
plete a home. A house may be well
appointed in its every detail, but it
does not truly become a home until
love and beauty have entered into its
makeup. Amid our daily distractions
and concerns poetry goes far toward
tightening the burdens and alleviating
the discords. 1t is a daily refuge from
the petty worries and an inspiration
for spiritual growth.
Learn a few lines Of poetry each
day while you work. You will be sur
prised how it will brighten the day.
By the light of the poets message
nothing will appear common or insig-
nifcant, but all things will be
touched with finer and deeper mean
inrs. Every heartache and regret, ev-
cry hope and aspiration, you will find
expressed by some one of our magic
singers. All mothers are poets at
heart, and in true reality belong to the
great fellowship of singers who are
keeping messages of beauty and love
alive.-Royal Dixon in The Mothers
Magazine.

Little Russia, or Ukraine.

Little Russia, or Ukraine, is the re-
gion of the middle Dnieper valley, from
the marshes of Pinsk to the cataracts
below Ekaterinoslav. It was con-
quered in the fourteenth century by
Lithuania and was long disputed be-
tween this power, Russia and Turkey.
Between 1854 and 1886 all the Ukraine
east of the Dnieper, and in 1913 the
portion west of the river, passed under
the rule of the czars. The population
is chiefly Little Russian, with a con-
siderable number of MOldavians. The
Little Russians are Of the Slavonic
stock, but many years ago underwent
a mixture with Turkish tribes.
The Russian language belongs to the
eastern branch of the Slavonic family.
There are many dialects, but the pre-
dominant literary language is that OF
Moscow.

Whether the defendant was a fore

Mnenon Artaxerxes or Ochus Ar
