STOCK MARKET

New York, June 24-Opening- Stocks were decidedly strong at tho active opening of today's market, the advance being accelerated by furthet advices concerning the successful Italian offensive. Equipments led the rise. United States Steel and Baldwin Locomotive gaining one and two points respectively. Other wsr shares, Mo- tors, Oils, Tobaccos and Shippings par ticipated in moderate measure, but rails were dull and little changed. Selling for profits caused fractional reactions before the end of the first half hour Liberty bonds were steady.
 Noon-Activity slackened toward noon but trading assumed wider pro- portions, embracing additional indus trials and equipments, coppers and re- lated metals, and minor war issues and specialties. Aside from Reading. rails continued to hold back but last week. s inquiry for secondary transportations was resumed. Royal Dutch Oil at further decline of five points, and moderate reactions in Brooklyn Trans it and American Telephone were the few exceptions to the sustained strength of the general list. Liberty 3 1-2's sold at 99.50 to 99.54, first As at 939O to 94.

CUTTING LIVING COSTS

A reduction in the cost of living will follow a heavy tax on consump- tion of luxuries, provided Che interpre- tation of luxuries is strict and the ap- plication made practicable, accord ing to well-informed financial inter- ests who have been going into this subject extensively of late with tn- tention to make vigorous recommen- dations to Washington because Of evidence of wastcful tendencies in war expenditures.
 It is pointed out that the applica- tion of a heavy tax on luxuries will result in manufacturing curtailment and closing down of luxury-produc- ing plants to a degree that will make available ample labor for war essen- tials and thereby reduce labor costs, which form the largest total of any factor in the cost of things neces- sary to sustain human life.
 Shortage of labor, causing advances of 300 per to 500 per cent over nor nal in wages is responsible for cut ting of profits of war essenaial indus tries to a point where production is threatened because incentive is lack ing ou;1.de of the patriotic element and any method that will be effective in providing more labor will do more to relieve the situation than all efforts heretofore employed, according tC leading industrial homogeneous.
 That the line between necessitie! and luxuries is going to be draw1 closely is indicated by plans of advo cateS of a broad consumption ta7 which would equitably distribut, widely the burdens of the war with out undue strain.

STORED MUCH FROZEN MEAT
German Authorities, in First Days of War, MobiIized All Resources of
 Refrigerating Plants.

Berlin has 2,2O0' tons of frozen meat in it's municipal cold storage depots. The supply is replenished from time to time so that it remains at that figure. On their present meat ration of one half pound, the Vossische Zeitung says, the Berliners are assured of meat enough to last all Greater Berlin two or three weeks, even if there should be a temporary stoppage of replenish- ments.
 How the cold storage of pork has helped Germany to "stick it" is ex- plained in an article in the Chemiker Zeitung.. Early in the war, realizing the serious effect of the British block ade on the meat supply, the govern ment directed the refrigerating indus try to mobilize its resources on the largest possible scale. It was ordered to make preparations for dealing with millions instead of thousands of pigs, Gold storage plants were enlarged. new ones built, and the system so ex- tended, that today there is hardly a local community without its own re- frigerating facilities.
 Every fortress has a freezing plant of its own. In case of siege it will assist materially in the preservation of perishable foods, especially meat, eggs fish and butter.
 'The German authorities" says the article, "have taken advantage of cold storage to the fullest extent, thereby greatly easing the economic conduct of the war"

TELL OF LONDoNS HISTORY
Collection of Wonderfully Interesting Relics in the Whitechapel Art
 Galleries.

In small space in the Whitechapel art galleries there is fascinating col lection which reconstitutes the history of London from the days when the Britons watched the galleys of the Ro- mans sweeping up the Thames river. There are bits of Roman pottery found in the Thames mud. Photographs and prints show how bits of the old Roman wall may still be touched by living hands. And so throughout the long story of the great old city there are re- membranes of its varying phases, of its ceaseless change: beautiful piece of carving by Grinding Gibbons, or one of his school, in St PauTs grotesquely carved brackets of wood that once supported the beams of Tu- dor houses; iron brackets beautifully wrought by ancient craftsmen; leather jacks, out of which some Falstaff quaffed his sack; clay pipes, smoked in Queen Elizabeth's day by men who sailed the Spanish main; the old Whitechapel parish register, telling of citizens who died of plague, or born and married in the days before the great fire, and when bells of old St. Paul's rang for joy and sorrow.
 These, and many other relics, bring back the spirit of oldtime London to men and women who go to the quiet and restful place from the rush of modern life in Whitechapel.

Rrakina AlrpIane While EIxinu,

A brahng mechanism for airplanes has recently been introduced, accord ing to the Popular Science Monthly, This consists of two rectangular planes of small area, mounted on shaft that runs along the rear edge of the main plane, and passes through the fuselage- The control is by means of a hand wheel and connections, which act in conjunction with a haudbrake.
 When an airplane is flying at rate of a hundred miles an hour the air pressure is not less than 30 pounds to the square foot. It will thus be seen that the added resistance of a few extra square feet of canvas has a very great retarding action on the speed of the plane.

FiStic History

Although a defeated boxer is usual ly able to flash a more or less con- vincing albbi, by which he attempts to prove that he entered the ring a phy- sical wreck, animated by a stern de- sire to do his duty toward the public, it is noteworthy that he never dis covers or confesses these disabilities before the contest. If there was ever a boxer who, on the day before battle, was not in the pink of con dition," and absolutely confident of victory, the fight fans have never heard of him. The old time boxers were as chesty and confident as the moderns. An amusing instance of this is afforded by a challenge pub lished by an English paper in 1744. On the 24th of June of that year, 174 years ago today, Jack Slack, who af- | terward became the third champion of England, met and defeated Daniel Smith. Daniel was not at all satis- fled with the result, declaring that illness was the cause of his downfall, and issued the following challenge: T, Daniel Smith, the Suffolk cham l pion, do once more invite MT. Jack Slack, the Norfolk champion, to meet and fight me for the sum of forty guineas, and, though I had the mis- fortune to be defeated by him before, am sure I am much superior to him in the art of boxing, and doubt not that I shall give him and the com pany entire satisfaction"
 The publication of this brought the following prompt response from MT. Jack Slack:
 q, John Slack, the Norfolk cham pion, do accept the challenge of Dan iel Smith, and will be certain to meet and fight the above hero, and don't doubt that I shall support the char acter I have hitherto maintained"
 MT. Smith was mistaken in his as- sumption of superiority, for in the second meeting, after a desperate conflict, Slack was again victorious.
 Art Simms, long prominent in the lightweight division, was born in Ak ron, Ohio, forty years ago to-day, June 22, 1878. He started his ring career more than twenty years ago, at abou
 the same time that Gus Ruhlin, the Akron giant, was trying to put AkroI on the pugilistic map. Simms frs
 came into prominence in 1899, wheI he fought a twenty-round draw il Cleveland with Tommy White, the ia
 nous Chicago featherweight. Int
 following year he whipped Gus Gard lner, Jim Poop, Joe Leonard and oth

Scouts War Gardens.

The food production and garden campaign of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica is well under way, says Boys Life. Every scout and, indeed, every troop and every locab council, according to reports, is definitely interested in some way.
 This year every scout is asked to be responsible for securing one adult to agree to work with him on the scouts individual garden or on the troop gar den or on the local council garden. The adult might be a scouts father, his brother or his sisters best fellow, his uncle or indeed any man who will faithfully stick to the job until the crops are harvested.
