Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.

New York, June 21.-After ruling quiet but steady at the initial decline during the early trading, the market turned rather soft in the last hour on selling from New Orleans and Wall street houses with little support in evidence except for moderate buying by the trade on scale down.
 July was offered quite freely, at times reflecting liquidation prior to notice day, and the general impression is that this will continue in evidence daily until the fate of the first tenders is known The trading today suggests that shorts who covered last week have been putting out their lines again while recent buyers on the chance that further covering might be forced by the weather have been liquidating.
 It is now a question of when some thing will develop to worry shorts or render the trade more disposed to in- crease their lines on advancing mar kets. which is something that they have not been willing to do for some time past.-Post & Flagg.

Navy Woman As Type

From "A Lass Who Loved odiior, py
 Jane Grey Potter, in the Scribner.
 Those who have read Mrs Delands

 flutter of suspicion with which the will laeers received back their fellow citizen,
 Oscar King. He had left town whae still a young man. and had been trav- cling about the world ever since. what skeletons might there not De rattnns from his mysterious past! He had le1t tcwn-he had trayeled-one never knows,'
 A navy woman frequently finds herself in the shoes of oscar King. When. dur ing her husbands cruise, she returns, s'nayv widow" to her home town, and thinks to knit and fit herself pack lnro it's every-day lfe--at least temporarily she learns with some amusement, or per- haps some sadness, or perhaps some re- sentiment, that it can't be done. AS one navy wife remarked: When your s'atus is somewhere between that of Methodist parson and a travelling circus, you can i put yourself down as an alien! And a | spicy alien too, Far be it from me- said she ito forget a, conversation l overheard upon the occasion of WISH | to a distant cousin. whom had not seen since youthful days:

She's in the navy. so she probably drinks and smokes. | The fundamental departure Of navy life as it contrasts with civil life Is that it is so frequently departing! To the av- craze family, even in restless America normal home life means being settled m on. spot for the course of ones natural existence. Travel bit? Yes of course. But only as far as ones person and

Ten days ago Governor Holcomb placed severa' companies of state guards at the disposal of Mayor Sandland because of the strike situation here
 The shooting started after the poilce attempted to disperse a crowd of strik- CTS estimated at 1000 who paraded around the Scovlle plant, jeering at employees. A number of shots were fired and bricks and stones were freely used, but police reserves and city guards soon dispersed the rioters.

Model Industrial Organization

Charles Aubrey Eaton m Leslie s-
 The Goodyear Company rests it's policy upon two fundamental principles; t1rst' representation and participation of the employees in questions pertaining to them: and, second. participation or the en ployes in ownership of the company.
 Recognizing that autocracy cannot be permanently made a successful metnoo in industry; and desiring to formulate more representative form of factory gov ernment. the factory manager or the Goodyear Company created an lndus. trial relations council for the purpose or drawing up an industrial representation plan. This council was composed or factory executives, foremen ana Wase- earners. The executives were appointed the foremen elected by foremeh' ana inc wage-earners representatives were elcted by the workers of the factory. This council sat together and dlscusseu many forms of industrial representation
 The industrial representation plan finally agreed upon provides TOT horse of representatives ana seha.e' while it leaves all executive power Tn the hands of the management. It proVioes for legislative power to curo or checH improper action. or to suggest lii'pioVeu conditions.

CHILDREN CHARGE
 FATHER WITH THE DEATH 0F .M0THER
By Associated Press

Knoxville, June 21.-'1t was my father who killed mother" declared thirteen-year- Edward McGill here today at the preliminary hearing of
 Elijah McGill charged with the mur-
 der last Wednesday morning of his wife, Mrs Mary McGill. The lad and his fourteen-year- old sister both testified the father had on
 a former occasion threatened to kill every member of the family. As the result of the evidence offered
 McGill was bound over to criminal court without bond. while bond for
 Mrs. Belle Cox, charged with being an
 accessory. was fixed at s2,000 on mo- ton of the states attorney. to allow her to return to her seven small chill dren.
 The little McGfn girl testified that she had seen another man standing in the doorway of the home a few minutes after the crime had been com mitted, holding a flashlight and a re- volver, and said he threatened her with death unless she stopped scream ling.
 McGill and Mrs. Cox sat throughout the hearing, apparently unmoved by the dramatic recital which brought tears to the eyes of many in the throng of 5000, which gathered to hear the evidence.
 So great was the crowd the court had to adjourn from within the courtroom and conduct its investigation on the lawn in the open, while many clam bered to nearby roofs to get glimpse of the principals in the tragedy.

Effective Advertising

From Why We Buy-A Study in Ad-
 vertising," by Henry Foster Adams,
 in the Scribner.
 To gain attention is the primary func- tion of the advertisement. One which is never noticed can have no effect. The methods used to catch the eye may be divided into two general classes, the ob- iective and the subjective. Under the former are grouped the physical charac- terstics of the advertisement. such as size, color, position and repetition. Under the subjective group, which involves the personal reaction to the advertisement, are placed the interests, purposes, deslres and hierarchies of values that result from heredty and experience.
 An important objective factor is posi- tion, both on the page and in the maga- zine. A small advertisement on the inside portion of the sheet has slight chance CT being noticed, both on account of it's ln- significance and because so much or 1t IS hidden by the curving of the masazine pages. Normally. the eye first rests upon the upper left quarter of the page-a re- suit of our reading habits. The second best place is the upper right quarter.
 The location in the magazine is also matter of no slight moment for some half dozen places are more in evidence than any others These ''preferred posi- ticns' are the outside of the back cover, the inside of the front and back covers and the pages facing them, the page op- posite the table of contents, and the two pages facing the reading matter Large advertisements are obvloussy more likely to be observed than small ones For if the page is noticed at all some part of a full-page announcement will be seen. It is a plausible inference especially in view of space rates, that the half and quarter pages should have respectively only half and quarter me value of the full page However, the practical results indicate that the quar- ter page is about half. and the halr page about three-quarters as effective as the full page in gaining attention.

Industrial University

Charles Aubrey Eaton in l1eslles.
 In the midst of the vast factories of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company at Akron, O., my attention was attracted to a spacious and noble building which seemed unlike the others in purpose and quality.

ASK AGENT FARE
 IN NEW ORLEANS
By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 21.-Following or ders issued late today by Federal Dis trict Judge Rufus E. Foster, J. 0. OKeefe, receiver for the railway and light company, will tomorrow petition the commission council of New Orleans for a 7-cent street car fare to meet the in- creased wages demanded by the street railway workers union.
 The union of workers were refused a hearing by MT. O'Keefe today as body but the receiver consented to meet rep resentatives of the platform and car barn men only. This the men refused and II is expected that a strike effective July l will be voted at the meeting of the union to be held tomorrow night.
 The union men recently demanded an increase in wages to replace the present contract whereby platform men were to receive 75 cents per hour, time and hal, for overtime and double time for Sundays and holidays. The present pay is AZ cents an hour.
 The demands were refused by the re- ceiver for the railway and light company and a compromise offer of 90 cents per hour with time and half for overtime without the holiday and Sunday clause offered the men, provided the company was granted authority to collect seven cents car fare instead of the present six cents rate.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 2l.--l4lVerpool was sharply lower than due this morning, and our market found heavy selling orders from the English market in evidence at the opening. It is reported that the trade is very bad in Manches- ter in consequence of the eastern can cellations and the political news be- tween Ireland, India and the Balkans is none too clear. These cable advices offset the heavier rains which fell in Alabama and Georgia over Sunday and brought sharp decline in our market
 We would call attention to the fact that we went into new ground today for this is the first time the market has gone under 3430c for October. A good deal of July liquidation is also in evidence and this adds to the bearish feeling which is now dominant Some further decline in prices with good weather is probable. but we would call your attention once more to the fact that the short interest will now in- crease once more
