Heart Beats

BY A. K.
When father
Met the family
He had a big surprise
He learned that Dot,
Was a beautiful girl
And that James
Had great talent
And modelled ia clay
He had never known
That little Tom
Could act
Like a Hackett
Or Skinner.
Baby Ruth had
Big tears in her eyes
When father
Came near her crib
For she didn't know
That great big man
From robber or
Robin Hood.
1t happened quite
BY accident
That father stayed
At home.
For he was a busy man
Who couldn't "hang
Around the house"
AID still bring in
The cash.
Business called him
Here and there
And the clubmen
Were his friends.
His office too
Took hours of time
So home grew farther
From father each day
Except as a burden
And bore.
But this lucky night
When he stayed at home
Dot sang and she played
And recited with poise.
His ewes grew bright.
And his chest grew large
And he thought he had
Found prize.
He decided right there
He would take her out
And present her to
His friends. L.
Mother called James
From his book and Il
His room, H
To exhibit his work in clay.

"Ard this is my SON! II
Well, I'll see what can II
Be done with a talent
Like this.
The world needs such n
Sons as James" IN
From the serious turn N
To laughter and tears

Little Tom
Who danced his
Weird original dance
And acted the
Vicious Hun.

T. ID died" from a stab |.
And "died" from
The awful trench gas, "A
Until father declared, III
That a child who
Could "die" in
So many different ways IN
Should be given
Chance to "die" for IN
The world and especially IN
For gay old Broadway. N
The clubs see fathers N
Face no more N
And business goes on
Just the same as before. IN
The "kids" have a chance y
To sing and dance with
ner and mother
At home
the evenings.

And waits for his
Friendly hello" w
The Whole world seems brighter N
And family cares lighter, "

II Is evident that the bankers OF this

TRADE AGENTS ARE
AIMING AT RUSSIA
Getting Ready for Bolshevist
Collapse-School Opened
in London.

Gradual penetration" Is the policy
adopted by trade agents, mostly fr, m
European countries. who are aiming at
the large markets that will be available
In Russia when the present chaotic
conditions subside enough to allow busi-
ness to approach somewhat near normal
Most of the efforts are now directed to-
ward southeastern Russia and the
northern Caucasus.
German trade boomers. though. are In
all districts of the country, especially
the Bolshevist torn sections. II is al
legged also by travellers who have been
able to escape from Petrograd that the
Germans, cloaked by their trade Gre
dentials. are doing all in their power to
help along the red terrorism, with the
object of capturing the trade bound to
result from the industrial destruction
being wrought by the Lenine-Trotzky
followers.
British manufacturers. in their efforts
TO gain Russian trade. are ably assisted
by the Board OF Trade War Risks insur-
ance, which gives facilities for the insur-
ance of inland risks upon goods i'm
ported into Russia and goods bought b"
British firms for export from Russia.
The insurance will cover the goods
against loss or damage arising from
war risks, riots. civil connections and
other contingencies as outlined in the
policies. Facilities for marine insurance
also will be given where they cannot be
obtained through the ordinary channels.
Important results hoped for from this
insurance will be to enable banks to
give advances on shipments from the
United Kingdom to Russia and on goods
lying in port awaiting shipment from
Russia. Sailings of ships carrying
goods to and from Russia have been
promised by several British steamship
companies.
Englishmen who intend to attack the
Russian markets are being schooled in
London by the Educational Committee
of the Russian British Bratstvo (Fra-
ternity). The course of instruction
lasts ten weeks and to the students is
promised an elementary knowledge OF
the various branches OF Russian expert
and import trade and the technicalities
Of Russian business operation.
Prof. p. Miiiukoff, former Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Is delivering
lectures TO the students on Russian his
tory Other branches. including COM
mercial geography and social and legal
conditions in Russia, are being outlined

include also Russian economics. 'agrarian
problems, textile industry, mining and
metallurgy, chemical industry. coopera-
ton. Russian language for commercial

man OF the board of the Irving National
Bank Of New York. declared that 1t Is
difficult to measure the true Importance
of the fact that in the nine months

prophets of trade and industrial pessi-
mism in American business have been
discredited.

ouoyancy. courage, resource and a con-
dition which to the casual observer
looks like genuine prosperity and will
continue, too. Business not only has
recovered from the first shock incident

back to peace condition it had not ex-
pected SO soon.. and for which 1t was not

LONDON, July 29.-The most active
market-n the house was that for oil
shares in which the feature was the rise
of SIS in Burmah Shells and Mexican
Eagles and Trinidad Central also
showed strength with substantial rises.
Argentine railway securities were IN re-
newed request, while Marconi, shares
were bought on appearance OF an ex-
cellent report. An unsatisfactory fea-
ture was the fatness of national war
bonds, again pressed for sale, while
French bonds continued weak on
further fall in the franc. Elves were
sold at 75 and new 4s at 60%. although
Anal prices were not quito the lowest.
About a dozen Argentine and Chilean
loans were marked down to VI and City
of Rosario As fell to 43h. Buying OF
Argentine railway stocks continued.
Conditions were easier In the short
loan market as payments in connection
with the Victory Loan subscription
ended. The rate for old money that
went up to az per cent. on Monday,
came back TO 3 per cent. and fresh money
was offered freely at rates ranging
down tos2h per cent. The tendency OF
the discount market was inclined to be
easier. there being better inquiry for
bills. The buyers were willing to take
August bills at "a per cent. and the
banks wanted September maturites.
The Belgian franc weakened In SYM
patty and the Ira deprecated. The
rates on Switzerland, Holland and some
Scandinavian countries moved against
US. New York again came rather higher.

Regular Quarterly Dividends

Are Ordered.

Another Indication that business In the
United States has definitely turned the
corner for the better was given yesterday.
when the regular quarterly statement of
the earnings of the United States steel
Corporation was issued, showing that
during the three months ended on June
80, 1919, the corporation and it's sub
salaries earned ssl,ss ,se1 after all ,ex-
penses and taxes. but before interest
charges and depreciation. That item was
nearly 100000 higher than It was
IN the last preceding quarter. when
II was s33,515,Ss4. In the corre-
spending three months OF last year
the corporations statement showed
net earnings OF s62,557.391. The reg
ular quarterly dividends OF IN per
cent on the common and 1 NJ per cent.
on the preferred were ordered paid. the
former on September 20 to stock Of rec
ord on August 20, and the latter ON Au-
gust 30 to stock of record on August 4.
Those earnings were considerably bet
ter than a majority OF those In the Wall
street district had predicted. Best .esti-
mates of the probable showing for the
quarter were in the neighborhood of $780,

citation and preferred dividends was re-
ceived with no little favor. Total earn
inss before deducting interest on sub
sidiary companies' outstanding bonds was
Sgs.520. 341, from which was deducted
$2,1Ss, 040 for the payment of that inter-
est. leaving net earnings Of s34,331,301.
Further deductions for depreciation, re-
placement funds. &C.. totalled S11,007,-

corporations bonds of s5.3b6,s19; leav-
ing the balance available for dividends
for the quarter s17,s67.2sI. which. after
deduction of s6.304,919 preferred divi-
dends. was equal to 81, 80 a share on the
s5oS. 500 outstanding common stock.
With the figures contained In yester-
days statement 1t Is shown that the net
earnings OF the corporation for the first
six months Of 1919 were s67, ,6S5,
against $11e.51S,S15 in the corresponding
half OF the last preceding year and s203.-
70o,222 in the first six months of 1917.
The 1919 earnings represent the lean
post-srmistice period, during which OPP
erations were conducted at far below
capacity, while the 1918 and 1917 figures
were compiled while the company was
producing war materials on a capacitp
basis. With the exception of March.
1919. May Of this year was the poorest
in the way Of earnings which the COM
