FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Stocks made further recoveries this week from their violent reactions of the preceding per iod. but this was not accomplished until a number of the vulnerable issues had fallen to lower records for the current movement.
 These further losses were commonly attributed to belated liquidation from out of town sources.
 Here as vel lasa all reserve cen ters, there was manifested an earnest disposition to carry out the injunction of the federal reserve board against a continuance of extravagant trading. As a result business diminished per ceptibly with corresponding reduction of loans.
 As a further curb on reckless deal ings. it is the fixed opinion of well informed financial interests that money remain relatively firm for the rest of the year.

HORSES IN ANCIENT BATTLE
Seem to Have Been Little Used Except
to Carry the infantry Into
the Fight.

In the old days when the Romaas
and Greeks fought furious battles, the
charioteers drove their cars In all
directions, hurled their javelins, and
by the din and clatter of horses
and wheels commonly threw the
ranks Of the enemy into disorder.
and, making their way among the
squadrons of the enemy's cavalry,
leaped down from their chariots and
fought on foot. The chariOteers then
withdrew, little by little. from the fight.
and placed their chariots In such way
that If they were hard pressed
they could readily retreat to their own
SIDE Thus in battle they afforded the
mobility of cavalry with the steadt
ness Of infantry. Daily practice en-.
abled them to pull up their horses at
full speed when on a steep slope, OF
to run out on the pole and stand on
the yoke, and to get nimbly back into
the chariot.
With the introduction Of cavalry
in the later iron age came larger
horses, but their use for this pur-
pose seems to have been restricted
to Isolated areas. There is no doubt
that the west German tribes, as
late as the campaign of Caesar in
Gaul, used only the shaggy pony. 1t
is said in cavalry actions they held II
disgraceful and slothful to use any
kind of saddle. and instead Of charg-
ing in squadrons they dismounted and
fought on foot. As far as England is
concerned, the art Of riding seems to
have been introduced by the Normans.
The Saxons appear to have been but
Indifferent horsemen.

Need for Eternal Vigilance.

"We first make our habits and then
our habits make u.s." said an unknown
sage. In other words, what we are
at this moment, what we can do at this
moment, depends not only upon max
ing up our minds at the time being,
but also upon how we have made up
our minds countless other times In
thousands Of minutes already gone by
and now out of our control. The one
thing we cannot control is the past /;
it may, however, control us for good
or for evil. The fact that we should
remember in forming habits is that our
minds and hearts are the meeting
ground Of strange conflicts; that good
and bad in us are making opposite
suggestions; that each is striving for
the mastery; and that sometimes we
are so self-deluded that the bad may
seem to be the good. At any hour the
beginnings of vicious habit, perhaps
through the suggestion of someone
else or by our own carelessness, indif-
ference, or faults, may find their way
into our hearts. The price we must
pay for continually proving and pos
sessing the good is eternal vigilance.

Discouraged Aids to Beauty.

In the day of Louis XIV LaBruyere
wrote this: 'If women only desire to
be beautiful In each others eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ca
price or taste as to the way in which
they dress and adorn themselves: but
If they desire to please men, If 1t is
to charm them they rouge and paint.
/ can assert in the name of mankind,
or at least of those men whose votes
l have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hideous; that
1t is as disgusting to see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
in their mouths and waxen balls to
puff out their thin cheeks; and that far
from countenancing it, men solemnly
protest against all such arts, which in
fallibly tend to cure them of love-"
The wonder arises If LaBruyere
spoke only for the men Of his time.

For Success In Business.

Wealth Is, after all, only what r.
produced by u.s. either by mental or
physical labor. II stands to reason,
therefore, that IL man would become

edge and skill And he will be reward
ed In proportion to his work Despite

lever In the motto that nothing really
comes by chance to a man which is of
much value beyond the ordinary.
Success has usually been prepared
for, striven for. helped onward by his
own innate ability, work. or tact In
ways the exterior world often failed
to recognize. Hard work is the best
friend any man ever embraced.

MUST CONCENTRATE TO WIN
Though Thorough Absorption May Be
Carried Too Far, 1t Is Necessary
to Success.

There is always danger, when any
one concentrates, that the concentra-
ton will be carried too far-so far
that 1t produces a narrow, one-sided
and warped point of view. The great
scientist, the great scholar, the great
thinker in any line is usually not an
all-around good fellow" Grabbed"
queer" peculiar" "odd," funny
and "warped"-are these not the ad-
jectives that generally describe the
geniuses of the world? The very eff
fort to concentrate on the one sub
ject which has brought success has
made 1t impossible to keep in touch
with the thousand-and-one currents of
thought and topics of conversation
which go to make up comfortable and
easy-going life. Like the old sea cap
tain, these geniuses miss something In
their effort to fix their attention on
one thing.
In spite Of this danger, 1t is a good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood Of becoming one-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
1t can be excused. Most of us can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep In
touch with the world about us.

GIVES CAT PALM OF WISDOM
Writer In California Newspaper Comes
Forward With Loud Praise
Of Household Pet.

1t is often q subject for discussion
as to which is the wisest animal
Some say II is the dog and some are
in favor of the horse, while scientists
appear to think 1t Is the elephant.
We beg to differ with all these
views. We do not even agree to the
movement In certain quarters to give
the palm for wisdom to the fox. To
our mind the wisest animal that lives
is the cat. And, If it goes to that, we
are willing to have 1t further known
that of all animals we like the cat
the best.
A cat is so wise that ii succeeds In
not letting us know how wise 1t really
is. If you will be friendly with cats
and that's an easy thing to do-you
will be astounded at their wisdom. And
You could not imagine how affectionate
cat can also be.
There is an old yellow cat up in the
Verdugo hills that we wouldn't trade
for all the dogs and horses and ele-
plants outside of Barnum's circus.
When the last Of his nine lives de-
parts from the earth those mountains
will be very lonely place for us.-Los

sTORK's VISIT TO SCOTLAND
Record Of Birds Appearance In 141s
May Be Found in Chronicles Of
the Country.

The white stork Of the continent of
Europe, which Is encouraged In most,
and even protected In some. Of the
countries to which 1t resorts to breed,
and round which much story and leg
end have gathered, has been known
for centuries to be an occasional WIS.,
itor to the British isles, chiefly to Nor
folk. but very rarely to Scotland,
though 1t has never been known to
nest or even attempt to do so In Brit
ain.
However, a record Of Its having
nested In Scotland appears in Good
all's edition of the "Schotchchonicon."
This work was begun by John For
dun, who died about 1884, and was
continued by Walter Bower, the abbot
of 1nchcolm. 1t is In Bowers chron-
icles for 1915 that the story appears.
The translation runs thus:
"In the year of our Lord, four
teen hundred and sixteen. there died
on the morrow Of the birth Of St John
the Baptist, Master James Biset, prior
Of st. Andrews. In this same year,
a pair Of storks came to Scotland and
nested on top OF the church Of st.
Giles Of Edinburgh and dwelt there
throughout season Of the year, but
to what place they few away thsreaf-
ter no one knows"
Commenting on this, Lord Lagle
Clarke says: "The church OF st. Giles,
on which the storks nested, was new
stone edifice commenced in 1887, to re-
place a former church destroyed in
1885, and some of 1t doubtless forms
part of the cathedral Of today"

The adobe houses of southern Call
f0rnia maintain an unbroken tradition
from the earliest days. says the Chris
tian Science Monitor. The Spaniards
themselves brought nothing fundamen-
ial. though they doubtless Influenced
native builders unconsciously, as well
rs producing the show places under
their name. The most interesting re-
cent architecture is no doubt that based
on the American tradition brought into
line with modern requirements without
In any way injuring the result from
the craftsman's point Of view. The
landscape seems to open its arms to re-
ceive such a building; the cactus and
spiky Yucca. with their avalanches OF
milk-white bells, blend into a perfect
unity with the slightest pink or bun
tinge OF the adobe and the Navajo
rugs, which. of course, should always
be the foundation Of the furnishings

The Crows Voice.

The crow is one of the most widely
disliked Of birds. His reputation is
bad, and is probably deserved.
No matter how long you study the
crow, you will always have something
to learn, and at the end of all your
study he will know more about you
than you will about him. At times II
seems as If he knew what you were
thinking about.
The crow has large variety OF
notes or calls, and each one seems to
be the harshest in all bird vocalism
until the next one is sounded, which
lie little harsher. He is an accom-
Dlished bird, and intelligent. II tanned
he can be taught many things, but
never to be good. He is a natural
thief, and cannot be reformed.

your conscience as you would treat
