AMERICAN GIRLS WOULD
WE'D PR|ECE OF WALES
Heir Gets Many Proposals in His
$4,000 Letters From Women
Here.

London Jan. 26.--The Prince OF Wales
iscnjoying an epistolary pursuit by Ameri-
| can girls.
| His Royal Highness continues to be
deluged with love notes, crank letters and
| Mt least one proposal Of marriage daily
from the United States. And IL may be
stated on the authority of his SECRETARY
that both the secretary and the Prince
have gay time daily going through the
mail bag.
Since his return the Princes letter
pouch has contained something like 55, 600
letters weekly, covering every conceivable
subject. ''Thc cream" of these is handed
him for porusal and from the high-voltage
love missives he gains vast amusem ent,
according to bis secretary. Most of thesc
are from girls who got n passing glimpse of
''his Royal Highness either At New York
or Washington. Scores of others send
snapshots taken of him during his visit
over there. Some girls send photographs
of themselves by way of good measure.
"All the really serious letters the Prince
answers personally" his secretary says
HIS Royal Ilighness is really not at all
dispeased at the volume of bis mail from
the United States. lie has kept many of
the snapshots taken and some of the
letters, particularly those from prominent
persons, indicating they were sent with
the future good relationship of Great
Britain and America at heart. These,
for the most part tell him of the good
effects his journey had upon public opinion
in the United States"
At the Pilgrims Club recently some
quip was passed at the Prince anent his
American correspondence. He laughing
Iy admitted it had assumed quite some
proportions, but added, ut is not all from
the fair sex"
Since his return the Prince has kept
in close touch with American activities
and has become a consummate reader of
American newspapers.

AnHwcr--To mako quart Of this flour
put cup OF rice flour in quart measure,
add cup of corn -four, and make up the
rest Of the quart by adding wheat flour.
Last add 2 heaping teaspoons OF baking
powder and sift all well together.
Mrs. ID. Mt try to give my family
pure food and bury only the most reliable
brands Of everything possible, but how
can tell about coffee and tear Arc there
any sure tests that can be made Mt homer
Answer-Tests for the purity Of both
coffee and tea can be made at home, but
the housekecpcr can always make cure
that she is getting unadulterated coffee il
she buys it in the bean. This assurance,
rs well as the knowledge that coffee in the
bean keeps fresh and retains its flavor
longer than when ground ought to convince
her that it pays better TO buy il in the
bean. To test ground coffee, fill q. cup
with cold water and drop little of the
coffee gently on the surface Of the water.
Pure coffee will Aoat, while impure coffee
will sink Mt once TO the bottom of the cup
Tea can bc tested in the following
manner: Place few leaves between two
layers OF white cloth and rub them briskly
between the palms OF the hands for few
moments. II the tea has been dyed it will
leave green stain on the cloth and is not
fit for ,ire.
"Man About the House-"Can you tell
me anything about a South American
drink called mate? | want To settle an
argument am having with friend upon
this subject"
Answer---fYerba Mate" is a product
of the South American Republic Of
Paraguay and is drink made from the
leaf of very tall, bulky tree. The leaves
are cut from the branches, placed on
brushwood and roasted slowly in holes
sunk in the earth and lined with skins.
From these leaves is made tea with a
very stimulating, although not alcoholic,
effect
In Northern Brazil this tea is made in
the following way: Whole mate leaves are
put into teapot and sugar is then put on
top of the leaves. Now glowing embers of
live fire Ia couple Of small pieces) are
dropped on top of the sugar and the tea
pot is closed. No water IL put In for few
Ininu,es--tbat is, not until tho exclusion
Of air has killed the live embers. Then
boiling water is added and the mate is
poured from the teapot like our tea.

The Decline in Municipals

In calling attention to the fact that
municipal bonds, like others, are SELL
ing at the lowest prices within the
memory of the present day investor,
The Bond Buyer" explains: The
decline in municipal bond values is
not due to any impairment o. their in
trlnslc value Or the inherent safety
behind them. Their exemption from
taxation continues sntrcmely valuable.
But the general uH ward movement Of
interest rates has resulted in deprcss-
ing to current low levels the market
prices Of all securities carrying a
fixed interest rate" Bonds OF the
twenty largest cities are o-day selling

new arrangement is regarded as greatly
strengthening the Standard Oil Com.
pany's position in European trade.

How One Broker Views the Market

Although the technical position of
the stock market is regarded by con-
servative commission houses as good,
it is said that short covering is cur
rently furnishing the principal buying
power. IL would not take long
distance bullish view on the market"
said one broker yesterday. Business
in many lines is slowing up and there
is a disposition on the part of the
banks ali over the country to reduce
credit lines. Business does not flour
ish on falling market, and the imme-
diate business outlook is far from
good. In the long run the business
defation will add to tbs available sup
ply Of liquid funds, but in the process
of readiust tment some concerns may
find themselves in trouble. The stock
market is already quite we'll liquidated
and we might have big business de-
preston without a big stock depres
sion. From this time l would consist
emily discriminate in favor of stock
representing companies manufacturing
necessaries as against stocks represent
ing luxury concerns"

I'm Wall Street
Methods of a Professional

A successful stock market operator
who has the reputation usually Of play
ing the bear side of the market, says.
he has made most Of his money by buy
ing stocks for rise. However, when
he does sell short he makes it rule
never to sell more than per cent of
the total share capitalization of the
company involved. By operating thus
he asserts that he avoids being trapped
through the concentrated efforts of bull
cliques. When this trader turns bull
ish and decides to take on long line
of stock, ne says that the amount he
buys is limited only by his capital to
carry it. This. he says, is why the
possibilities of a profit are so much
greater on rising market.
