FOOD SITUATION

Trading in Short
Market Session.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, April 19.-The United
States will have a great surplus Of
food this year. For the next two
weeks every man and woman with q
voice or a typewriter or pencil or pen
will be advertising the wealth OF the
country. That's one Of the reasons
why the stock market went booming
to new high prices in many issues to-
day. The government Is going to
borrow money at a fair interest rate.
The appeal this time is on a business
basis. The loan will go like an oil
underwriting. Optimism Is rampant.
Some few stocks are depressed, but
even the railroads show signs OF re-
covering, and that Is saying a great
deal.
U. S. Steel was leader today in SEN
timent even IL 1t did not make a very
large gain IN actual figures. President
Wilson's desire to see the price OF
steel adjusted so the country can get
down to business helped the whole
market Coppers will. of course. fol-
low the steel shares in their improve
ment for the coppers have been de-
pressed so much that they do nothing
but improve.
Specialties I'm Demand.
The stocks that made most Of the
day we're hiGh-grade specialties. Ci-
cav stores, Hide and Leather. L. S.
Food, Harvester. Steel Foundries
Pierce Oil and United Drug all distin-
gUished themselves. Cramps was
buoyant again and the American Ice
shares made new tops.
The advance in Hide and Leather
was in line with expectations. The
company is to be reorganized and
the common stockholders are not to
be robbed.
The short interest in Studebaker
is unusually large. One of the
leading commission houses has been
accumulating the stock for insiders
for several weeks and the shorts are
likely to have considerable trouble
getting cleared.
Directors of the United Cigar
Stores are expected to take action
in a few days in regard to the new
stock that was authorized by share
holders on April IL.
New directors will be named to rep
resent new business TO be undertaken
There is also talk of a stock dividend.

EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From NEUROLOGICAL Times the Monarch
Of the Air Has Been Chosen -
Representative Of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle Of India, the Garuda, IL the
bearer of the god vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle il q
gloomy figure. assumed by demons Of
darkness or by Odin himself. con-
cealed In the gloomy night or in wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits In the form Of an eagle at
the extremity Of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and ON the great
treO Yggdrasil sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbolt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. II naturally
became the emblem Of nations after
its long use In mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made It the emblem Of the Egyp-
tan kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was tho herald to TarQuinus
Of his royal power, and 1t was ono Of
the most important insignia Of the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors. and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time Of Charlie

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch. but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use. when you see new hair. fine
and downy at flrst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy.. and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that 1t has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of 1t II you will just try a little Dam

Suddenly the German uttered chok-
ing cry and dropped, blood squirting
from his throat, where chance bullet
had found him. As he fell, Mark pre-
clpitated himself upon him and lay
fiat on the ground.
The firing died away. Captain
Mark began to crawl back toward the
parapet Of his lines. A whispered chal-
lenge, an answer. and he had scaled
the sandbags and descended into the
mud Of the trench, to find the firing
posts crowded and himself facing Kel-
lerman and the company captain.
Inwardly boiling, he stood still. It
was too dark to see the expression on
Kellerman's face. but he could imagine
the sneering grin that disfigured 1t.
''Well !" said Kellerman sharply.
''The man you sent me to bring in
was dead. He had been there for
days"

"And your stretcherT asked Keller

II left 1t between the lines. Do you

"This man is lying" said Kellerman
to the Captain calmly. HE abandoned
his companions and ran away. He lost
his stretcher. Put him under arrest"
The Captain beckoned to the pla-
tcon sergeant. who came forward.
I'D like to say one thing" said
Mark, striving to keep his voice steady.

But Mark swung clear Of him and
turned and faced Kellerman again.

out of the wayi" he cried, losing all
self-control. For reasons that you
know, and I know, you wanted me
dead, and you were willing to send two
others to their death also. You lied

When he slowly grew conscious it
was with the glad realization that he
had found her. He felt her hands,
supple and warm, binding a bandage
round his arm. He opened his eyes to
see her face bent over his. And 1t was
dawn.
Vague cries rang In his ears, distant
cries. blending. surging, swelling and
dying down, but never ceasing. The
rattle of small-arms was continuous,
and punctuated by the loud timbre Of
guns.
He was lying amid heap Of debris
that had been the village Jail. Not far
away he saw the Colonel sitting with
eyes closed. propped up against the
fragments of wall, blood-stained
bandage round his head.

Captain Mark! And the Colonel is

on pass and cried, but they could not
hear me-"
All round them the guns were boom
ing. all round them they saw khaki
clad Americans swarming over the
fields, and yet the village seemed de-
serted. They were alone In a little
oasis of calm amid the tumult.
"What are we to do?" cried the girl.
"Can you walk? Try to stand on your
feet. Let me help you. We must get
the Colonel somewhere"
The question on Marks lips died
away as there came the howl of a
heavy shell, followed by stunning i'm
pact. A column of broken bricks spout
ed into the air at the end of the street,
dissolving into cloud of dust. An in
terval, and again there came missile
from the monster gun. A house in the
next street went down like cardboard.
| 1t was the threatened attack on the
American lines. The enemy was In
force somewhere across the fields, the
reserves were rushing up to repel them.
Mark staggered to his feet and found
that he could stand. His arm ached
under the bandage, but 1t was not
broken. Probably splinter had struck
him. He made his way toward the
Colonel, who eyed him vacantly as he
approached.
"Take Eleanor to safety and leave
me. Mark" he said, In q choking voice.
'T'u take you both. sir. This can't
last long. Our men will be in the vii.
iage In a few minutes. Or an ambu.

Mark put his hands beneath the Colo.

At nightfall Mark was sitting In his
cell. He had eaten, he had composed
himself to meet his end according to
the traditions Of his caste and race ;
but he could not meet 1t calmly. He
had deliberately flung everything
away; he had let Kellerman goad
