In the opinion of competent judges
the strength of the market is unde-
niably impressive. Hardly a day now
passes that several industrial stocks
fail to make new high records for all
time, individual demonstrations more
than atOning for lack of concerted

SUDDEN SINKING SPELL
FORCED u. c.. DOWN So
Effort to Connect Selling Movement With Election Results
Local Trading Extremely Ndrrow

Weakness in United Gas Improvement
sock with So decline to 6B1a was the
o'ershadowing feature Of the local mar
vet, The selling movement developed
Suddenly around midday, coming like q
bit from the clear blue. There was
no definite explanation offered for the
a)rupted descent in this ordinary stable
bcal investment issue. Some effort was
made to connect the selling with the cleo
ton results. Such an argument was al
together illogical, in view of the fact
that the other lcaol utility shars which
naturally would come under the same
influence were unaffected, in truth, while
extremely quiet ruled generally steady.
The stock apparently was offered at
tine when the market was bare OF buy
ing orders, and taking advantage of the
opportunity, the price was offered down
aS low as possible. The selling pressure
disappeared quickly and the stock raj
lied to 81.
Outside of this incident the trading
was listless. in truth the narrowing of
the market was even more acute than
observed in the previous sessions. The
tone altogether was inclined to heavi-
ncss. This. however, resulted more
from sheer lack of interest than pres
sure to sell The character of the trad
luB suggested 'ontlnueu cdutlon' WHICH
was to be altogether expected in view Of
the growing uncertainty of the labor
situation and the increasing irregularity
of the larger market.
The narrowness Ofy the market was
strongly cxemplified in the movement of
both Electric Storage Battery and Cen
cral Asphalt Light offerings of the
former carried the price down more than
81 to 107 "A, but the stock as heretofore
was quietly absorbed. In General AS
phalt preferred 50 was also clipped off
on sale of few shares.
Price variations in the balance of the
local stocks were circumscribed within
the same familiar fractional limits.

spirit it is suggested that the church
conduct library and moving picture
show and engage community nurse,
besides, of course, carrying out the
ordinary functions of the church in a
small town. II is probable that if such
program is carried out it will serve a
very useful purpose in aiding the small
community of Sherburne Hollow in
combating the drain incident to the
withdrawal of people to the larger cen
tiers of population. But even if the
community should not be able to draw
back people to its borders, it will by
this means be enabled to make life far
more attractive for the inhabitants Of
the community. Such a move as is
contemplated in Sherburne Hollow Is
suggested to many another small com
munity in Vermont; the church has a
chance to expand its activities in a
way which would prove of great advan-
tape to itself and TO the community III
which it is located.

CHURCHES AS COMMUNITY CEN

Emo
In these times when the people are
focking to the larger centers OF popula-
tion from the small communities, leav-
ing the latter considerably weakened
and destitute of activity of the better
sort, it seems like grand opportunity
for the church to become the center Of
community life, to do fine work to-

purpose has come to a church in the
small village of Sherburne Hollow in
Rutland county, and it is proposed by
the minister and others to make the
church the center of social, as well as
religious life of the place. In order to
attract the people to the influence of
the church and to better community

Australian Tennis
 Stars Play Today at
 Southampton, N. Y.

Southampton, N. Y, Aug. 21-The real feature and sensation of the sec ond day of play in the annual invita- tiOn lawn tennis tournament of the Meadow Club yesterday afternoon was the appearance of Norman F. BroOkes and Gerald l.. Patterson of Austra t~@- newly crowned doubles champions of these United States. The Australian stars appeared, but they did not play, either in the singles or the doubles.
 And the reason lay in the fact that Brookes and Patterson had got out of touch with their tennis racuuets, clothing and other paraphernalia in transit from Boston to this town. Neither player had the slightest idea last night just where the missing stuff was. but it is expected to reach here today. in time to permit the AntipOdeans to get into action in both singles and doubles. They are in po- posite sides Of the draw in the first named event, and should meet in the final round.

EMPIRE.

It Is not everyone who knows that the beautiful Emmy Wehlen, who will be seen at the Empire theatre on Friday in her latest Metro all-star comedy-drama success, "A Favor to Q Friend" possesses one of the most entrancing soprano voices ever heard in the stellar roles of Broadway musical comedy.
 Since Miss Wehlen's appearance as a star of the screen, it is a regretta- ble fact that a voice of such quality is lost to the enormous following which this fascinating young star en- joyed on the stage In "A Favor to a Friend" Miss Wehlen has a vehicle which deals, incidentally, with the Broadway stage, and is replete with humor and thrills, besides enabling her to again demonstrate to the up- to-date woman, the last word in modes and millinery.
