American sumat ira.

The sharp decline in the tobacco
stocks. especially American Sumatra, in
yesterdays short session is understood
to have been due to the knowledge in
certain quarters that the six months
earning statement of the Sumatra Com
pany, TO be published this week, will be
something in the nature OF a shock TO
those who have followed the constructive
side OF the market in these particular
issues. The stick yielded TO the selling.
and according to reports in the financial
district a large short interest has been
built up in the stock. Another report
which Is to be published shortly is that
of the Barrett Company, which is ex-
pected to make a favorable impression.
The report will probably STOW about

there is little chance OF an early opening
of the copper market. They persist,
however. IN their declarations that in
another year the demand for copper will
be the heaviest on record. "As mas been
pointed out before" says Walkers
Weekly Copper Letter. general indica-
lions are that the demand for copper
will be very much larger within Il year
from now than Il was at any time dur
Ing the war. Every country in the world
Is perfecting plans for the development
OF hydroelectrc power and constructive
work will be undertaken on a large scale
as soon as the international financial
situation Is so readjusted as to make
credit and capital available"

OUR GREATEST MsTITITTION.

Rarely does = Presidentso of these free and out
spoken United States do a thing that nobody crit
icizes. Careful inquiry would probably show that
President Wilson has done this wonderful thing
but once since he enetered the White House six
years ago. If anybody disapproved, nobody said
so, when, hurrying from a crowded day in Wash
ington to speak in New York and then board his
ship for France, he stopped for a few minutes
in Philadelphia to take a look at his new grandson
just come to life in the Jefferson Hospital. If the
President had not been as human as any other
grandsire, If in his hurry and the press of affairs
he would have preferred to see the new baby at
a later time and merely wished to strike a pop
ular chord at a rather critical moment, he could
not have chosen a better method of doing so.
For, after all, the baby is cur greatest in
stitution, "over-population" figuring cranks to
The contrary. The baby is not only the sunlight
n the home, melting the cookies of the hardest
hearts, but is the pledge of the future and the
IS a living link, in the great enduring chain that
Peace Conference, than laws of governments,
binds the world of yesterday with the world of
tomorrow. The generations come together, hu-
mainly of the past and present are made one, in
the baby. THE baby is more important than the
Peace Conference, than laws of governments,
than even seed time and harvest, for it is the
perpetuation of humanity itself.
