Wheeling and Lake Erie.

The move in Wheeling and Lake Erie,
which started a week or so ago, to
end so miserably after Q very short ad-
vance, was resumed yesterday again and
on buying, said to be of the very best,
sold well above 16, or within a fraction
of the top touched on it's previous move
ment. Wheeling and Lake Erie has
made an agreement with a prominent
oil prospec'pr. it was learned yesterday.
Under it certain properties owned by
the road are to be prospected for oil,
and the company has everything to win
and nothing TO lose, because it is de-
clared the road will share very hand
somely in whatever oil may be found
as result of the explorations. On the
other hand, should the investigation
prove fruitless the expense incurred will
be borne entirely by the prospector and
the company will not have a dollar loss
A week or so ago a similar move was
started. but owing to the weakened con-
dition of the market, as a result OF
the steel labor situation, 1t sold up to
II and then was broken down by a
professional bear raid to around 10
from which 1t recovered yesterday, sell
ing at 1855 and closing at 16, a net
gain of 2A points.

Kelsey wheel.

The movement of IA points upward
in Kelsey Wheel, which was staged yes
terday, came as somewhat Of a sur
prise to the uninitiated. but to those
who had had their ears to the ground
in the last few days it was not unex-
pected. There has been some talk about
move in Kelsey Wheel, and only O
day or two ago it was rumored that
Wilmington interests were buying the
stock very heavily. Then came the
tip from Wilmington to a few of the
chosen In New York to the effect that
move of 10 points or better might be
looked for on Saturday, and the coup
was carried out apparently according to
schedule. Kelsey Wheel is in somewhat
the same position of other automobile
specially companies, which, after a de-
cidedly lean period, are coming into
their own. While definite figures con-
corning the present rate of earnings
are very hard to obtain, 1t was declared
yesterday in quarters very close to the
management that the next Kelsey re-
port would show. undoubtedly, the best
years results in the history of the
company.

Equipment shares strong.

One of the chief features of yester-
days market was the strength of the
equipment stocks, led by Baldwin Loco
motive which made a new high mark for
tho year when it sold at 1861. 1t
closed with a net gain of ga points
above 1874. American Locomotive was
another strong spot, selling above 101.
Trading in these shares was very heavy
with nearly $4,000 shares turnover in
Baldwin against only about $4,000 shares
in Steel common. the recognized market
leader. There were no new developments
in the equipment situation, so far as
could be learned, other than the report
that an inventory of railroad properties
had been ordered by the Director-Gen-
eral preparatory to turning back the
lines. 1t is generally believed in equip
ment circles that with the return of the
rail- properties to their owners for opera
ton there will be a flood of equipment
buying now held in check by the Rail-
road Administration.

ESKIMO WILL
STICK To |CLO0

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-The move
ment to modernize the Eskimo by
providing him with concrete huts
in place of his picturesque snow zig
loos'', as suggested by an official of
the United States Bureau of Fisher
les, would be the death of the deni-
zen OF the icy north, in the opinion
of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic
explorer. Not only is the eskimo de-
voted to his age-long habitation as
the South Sea Islanders are to their
traditional garb of flower garlands
and fresh smiles, but he is far heal
thier, warmer and more comfortable
in his domed mansion of snow blocks
than he could be in any modern
house of concrete.

the Pryblloff Islands were about to
discard their snow huts for modern
concrete huts, finding the gales Of.

former, upon which the story of the
intended change of Eskimo habits
was based, Mr.. Stefansson character

off Islanders had never lived in
snow huts and that further north,

Toxic, May 2S,-By mail)-The
policy recently adopted in military
circles in Japan to WORK less inde-
pendently and more in harmony with
the cabinet ministers as a whole, Is
due to the determined intervention
of the advisory council on diplomat
ic affairs, says the Toxic newspaper
Nichi Nichi This is the body of dis
tinguished Japanese which was ap-
pointed two years ago by the en-
peror to advise the cabinet on mat
ters pertaining to national policy and
relations with foreign countries.
The newspaper says that the dip
lomatic council has used its influ-
ence to restrain the army, especially
in the publication of reports bearing
on diplomacy. 1t had been the Gus
tom of the general staff of the ia
panese army to issue reports ocn-
corning not only military afafirs, but
also on matters touching the diplo-
matte and political situation. This
practice, it is understood, has very
often embarrassed the foreign office
Some of these military reports con
cerned the American army in 81

In this conenction it is to be re
marked that the influence of the
military group in Japan is very pow
erful throughout the empire. Since
the recent friendly address of Gen
eral Tanaka, the war minister at a
luncheon given in honor Of Roland
IS. Morris, the American ambassador,
there has been a marked change in
the tone of the Japanese press which
now les frequently suspects Ameri-
can motives as wolrd power, es-
pecially in China and Siberia.

LOSS OF APPETITE

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as
to give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken Then
if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of OUT
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite
When the loss of appetite is caused
by construction as is often the case,
that should be corrected at once. A
