Aspects of the Stock Market,

One of the encouraging signs of the times
is the lack of speculative concern in the stock
market. Wall Street is far from dull or mac
tive, but it shows none of the boom" tendencies
noted couple OF years ago, when war
babies" engrossed so much of public attention
1t also presents some really hopeful aspects.
Trading is mostly for investment in dividend
payers, and these are being taken by buyers of
small means, to whom the income tax is not so
much of bugbear. Certain lines, control of
which was rounded up by small groups, have
been SO neglected by purchasers that redistri-
button has been noted. In some instances this
has brought about lower range in prices but
the stable securities still are sought for at fig
ures that make them attractive. Professional
dealers are quite content with the business and
the outlook, holding it to be the healthiest the
Street has had since war came four years ago.
Improved showing of earnings by the railroads
and the steady inquiry for the dividend paying
stocks are the features on which the brokers
rest their comfortable feeling, and when Wall
Street is peaceable, the rest OF the country is
doing fairly we'll

When You Turn the Clock Back.

Omaha, Sept. Ito The Editor
of The Bee: In the near future,
when the clocks are to be set back
one hour. much confusion and some
damage will result unless people are
informed how to make this altera-
ton in the time. All striking clocks
should be stopped for one hour. This
is the best way, but If people prefer,
they can move the hands forward
II hours, allowing the clock to strike
at each hour, half-hour or quarter
hour, as the case may be. The
hands of striking clock can not
be moved backward without dam
age. On clocks that do not strike it
Is best to llove the hands forward
II hours although they can be
moved backward one hour without
material damage. On all alarm
clocks 1t is best to move the hands
forward II hours. The hands on
watches may be moved backward
one hour. HENRY COPLEY.

Boosts Chamber Of Commerce.

bOOStS SndmDer OF commerce..
Omaha, Sept. 14-To the Editor
Of The Bee: / was for long time
a knocker against the Chamber of
Commerce of Omaha, when | did
not belong to 1t, and for a long time
afterwards. 1t was because | did
not understand it and know the I'M
selfish work it was doing for the city
and for me and all it's other knock
ers. I find since getting better &C.
quainted with 1t that most of its
knockers do not work or give for
the city's progress or business pros
perity and growth, and do not know
that the club Is made up of good
people of all classes, both rich and
poor, who are spending their time
and money for the good of the city
generally. / also find that those
who knock use knocking as an eX-
cuse for not joining and bearing
their share of the burdens that
rightfully fall to them, much like the
man who doesn't want to give to
charity or war relief kicks on meth
DDS as an excuse for not doing any
thing.
If there is any other organization
in Omaha that does what the Cham
Der of Commerce is doing for the
business and moral growth of Oma-
ha, and that is helping it in its time
of stress, and that Is looking to the
welfare of our solder boys at the
camps and those leaving the city,
and is trying to help out in every
way it can the people of this city, I
would like to know what organiza-
ton it is.
And the example the Chamber of
Commerce is setting other cities and
communities is far-reaching in good.
OF course, it makes mistakes at
times just as individuals who COM
pose it make mistakes. Its various
committees, like that Of public well
are, war activities, traffic, trade,
iver navigation, publicity, highways,
new activities, city affairs, manufac-
tories, agricultural, live stock,
grain, soldiers welfare. good fellow
ship. fruit development, marketing,
city health, development Of new in
dustries, banking, insurance, auto
mobile trade and various other
things show the wide range of its
work, and all of which require the
effort of men who should not be
knocked, but should be encouraged.

Elk Point, March 16.-Lieut. John
Henkin, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Henkin, of Elk Point, who is
with the United States troops in

letter home. He is a young physi-

hospital in Chicago when the war

DR.. Henkin was on the Mongolia

Nice, France, Feb. g., 191S.-Dear

Nice and have been for the past few
days. We took our leave rather un-
expectedly because the rules were
changed. We got seven days and
four days allowed for travelling time.
l went to Paris and after spending a
day there came on to Nice. This trip
carried us across the entire of France
and took % hours.
Nice is a large city on the Medi-
terranean and surely the garden spot
of the world before the war and also
now. 1t is the most famous winter
resort in the world. Warm currents
from Africa, which is just across the
sea from us, makes the climate very
mild. No coats are necessary and the
flowers are now in full bloom. We
have fresh vegetables at all meals,
| am stopping at the Hotel Villa Ma
rina, and that is fortunate, because
we have met some splendid American
people who seem to devote all their
time seeing that we have a good
time. There have not been many
American officers here and they
seem very anxious to show them a
regular time.
| came down with Lieut.. Talbot
and three of the other fellows pre-
ceded us a day. We arrived at our
hotel in the evening and Immediately
after dinner a Miss Haywood, who is
an American author. and has lived in
Nice in the winter and other places
in the summer for the past IL years,
Immediately introduced herself and
invited us to tea the following day.
We met several Americans there, all
of them fine people and as a result
went to Monte Carlo the next day.

Monaco, which is a small principally
in itself. Saw the princes private
fisheries and very beautiful gardens.
Also took a tram car and went a

here are very beautiful and in many
instances poke well into and above

take a donkey ride up toward heaven.
