bestowed recently upon the Twenty
eighth Infantry First Division by
Marsal Petian included the second re-
gimental award of the CroiX de Gued
re with palm which in French army
entitle the officers and men of the re-
giment to wear the fouragere. Ameri
can officers say they believe it quite
probable that authority for the unit
to wear the solder cord will be forth
coming from Washinton in the near
future.
All infantry regiments OF the First
division have now received the Croix
de Guerre with riam, the Sixteenth
decorated this week at ceremonies in
Coblenz. The Eighteenth infantry re-
ceived the award some time ago.
The Tenth, Eighteenth and Seventy
sixth Field artillery regiments of the
Third division also received from
Marshal collective citations amount
ing to the decoration of the colors of
those regiments with the Croix de
Guerre with gold star. The regimental
colors were not available for the oc-
casion as they had not been brought
back from Paris where they were u.s.
ed in the victory parade on July A.
At the ceremonies in Coblenz the
highest award of Commander OF the
Legion OF Honor was received from
Marshal Petain by Major-General Ed
ward T. McGlochlin formerly Acting
Commander of the American Froces
in Germany; and rigadier-General
by the newspapers here as being in
a position to speak with accuracy
According to his figures, which based
on reports for the month of April
there are two generals of di-
vision, eleven generals of brigade,
f0rty-eight brigadiers and S43 infes

cognized by the government as perma-

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Les. Than . ssiIlfen.

The long succession Of million share
days, which have become 50 common
that they no longer excite comment.
was broken yesterday, when sales fell
below the million mark The turnover
amounted to s1e,4st shares. Since
April Z. which started the train OF big
days, there have been hfty-six sessions
In which the turnover has exceeded the
million share mark. Two days broke
into the consecutive record, one above
and one below. On May ~ sales dropped
to sac 900 shares. On the Immediately
previous day. however. they had exceeded
the 1900, 900 mark with a turn over of
2.0a3, 800 shares. OF course the two
hour Saturday sessions have fallen be-
low the million mark. but all Of them.
since April T. have been at the rate of
more than a million for a full sized day.
One Saturday session, May 10, exceeded
the million mark In It's two houcs OF
trading. The record UP to the present
for consecutive million share sessions
was made in 1901, when there were
forty-foE days in which the mark was
crossed In 1904 the string was broken
at ~. In the winter Of 19o5-190s that
mark was reached. In addition, In con-
sidering the present record breaking run.
there have occurred four holidays since
April 7, all OF which undoubtedly would
have marked the turn over Of more than
a million shares.

The Money Market.

One OF the finest little ways In the
world to draw down criticism and posi-
BILE investigation OF everybody concerned
Is to jugEie the money rate. as II has
been frequently juggied. One man who
II entirely conversant with the methods
now being pursued said yesterday that
such tactics eventually would lead to a
Congressional investigation that would
throw the money trust" hearings en-
tireiy into the shade. As he expressed
It, the buck was being passed all around
the Street from the bankers to the Fed
erai Reserve Bank and on TO the stock
market and then back around the other
way. Two instances may illustrate the
hysteria and lack Of poise which Is keep
Ing things in Wall Street considerably

quoted at IS per cent yesterday one
large banking house had $4,000. 900 on

HisA Money ana the Market.

There Is a classic yarn about the shep-
herd Lad who bothered the village con-
stable considerably by notifying the con-
stable at the top OF his voice that wolves
were among his sheep. He false alarmed
so many times that the day a wolf did
actually get among his sheep the consta-
BILE couldn't hear him at all. Something
like that occurred IN the market yester-
day without any actual damage being
done to the flock. Heretofore the only
thing necessary to bring about wide
slump In stocks has been to skyrocket the
money rate. But yesterday the controllers
OF money In this market yelled Wolf!

But the market was most buoyant at the

explanation. of course. was to be found
in, the large short interest At the first

fesistible force that IL brought the mar

The Large short Interest.

II the action OF stocks in the face OF
high money was not sufficient proof OF
the fact that a very large short Interest
has been built up In the market. add
tional proof could be found In the loan
crowd after the close. There was a sub
stantial increase. as one member OF the
crowd described It, in the demand for
stocks. One might even go further and
say that the substantial increase was a
disorderiy scramble for them Such a
demand as was exhibited yesterday I'M
doubtedly reflects a large short inter-
est. Industrials generally ruled at 10

The COppers.

Tho theory on which most o, the
buying in the copper stocks was based
Yesterday was that the copper situa-
ton had at last reached the turning
point. as was pointed out some time ago.
The production last month. according TO
latest estimate, was about 100000 900
pounds. whereas the sales of the metal
during the same period totalled more
than 750,0oo.oo0. According to the same
information the sales during the cur
rent month probably will be very much
larger. In addition to this there was
another increase in the prices of the
red metal yesterday and accompanying
this increase came prediction from, many
leading authorities that the metal would
be selling at 20 cents a pound within
the next month or 50. The leader In the
copper group yesterday was Cegro De

When a Woman Farms.

In regard to a wife's earnings and
profits, the laws of most states say
that the wife's earnings. "aquets or
gains are her own-but with limita-
tons. In a number of states they are
her own only if she lives separat-
from her husband. In six or more
states the law says that a wife cannot
demand paw for work in her husbands
business. In West Virginia If a wlte
goes out to work each day, what she
brings home at night is hers. If she
takes i'm washing or sewing or board
ers. what she earns goes to her nus
band.
The Just law on this subject would
provide that a wife's earning out
side the home were her own that for
work in her husbands business a wlle
be paid in proportion to her services.
Such a provision would soon bring de-
mand for a law to hold the wage-earn-
ing wife responsible for her share or
the family support. In about two
thirds Of our states, there is legislation
holding wives with separate property
and wives who earn money to such re-
sponsibility.
Her Day Is Coming.
When the wife has obtained pay for
work in her husbands business 1t is
logical to ask why should h not
have pay for work in his home? NO
state has laws which actually recog-
nize this right. In some codes blanket
statements, assuring to the wife the
n-ecessaries Of existence, making the
homestead secure to her, ETC., are
found. One state provides that II a
woman, besides her duties in h
household works also in her husbands
business, she may claim q definite
share of the family income.
The day is coming when no Wife Will
merely for her keep. She will
be by law entitled to a definite share
of the family income. Already wives
in eight Of our western states have
this right. BY the community prop
erty law, inherited by these states
from the French and Spanish settlers,
the wife can demand half the family
income. The community property laws
as they now stand, contain some d4s-
ordinations against wives, but they
contain the germ of Justice and be-
cause of this should be on the statutes
of all our states.
The new League of Women Voters
is planning to continue the effort OF
to wipe out these old In
justices against wives. Laws whlcn
the modern wife a child are out
Of harmony with the times and I'M
worthy a great republic.
