September Rail Earnings.

Investors in rail stocks do not know
much more about what the properties
are earning after inspecting the Sep
TEMPER statements submitted to the In
terstate Commerce Commission than
they did before. The reason, OF course.
is that September is not n representa-
tive month that many new tariffs were
not in effect in that month. and that
transportation tieups and labor difficulties
here and there still continue TO reflect
themselves in earnings figures. Then,
too. some roads chose September as the
month In which TO charge off back pay
granted their labor. Consequently, al
though In the main the figures as re-
ported by representative roads make n
respectable showing, they do not mean
a great deal, and Wall Street was dis
posed to ignore them yesterday. Tt Is
probable that It will not be before the
earnings for the full final quarter of the
year are In that anything like 4
definite idea OF how any particular road
Is farlng under It's reclaimed manage
ment can be obtained.

Buying Back stocks.

One of the things which yesterdays
market demonstrated pretty thoroughly
is that there is not very large short
interest and that the shorts are anxious
to get any sort of profits, no matter how
small. OF course, inquiry for stocks by
whatever short interest happened to be
in the market at the time was one reason
for the turn in the tide. With covering
started in Texas Oil, Mexican Petroleum
and in one or two other favorite speCu-
latlve mediums the infection spread to
the list as a whole. With the market
turned squarely about and started TIE
other way. professionals saw the paper
profits accumulated in the mornings de-
cline slipping away from them and hnr-
ried to buy in stocks which they had
sold. 1t amounted almost to a scramble
in the last hour.

the absence of a robust election rally

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


The gong which brought trading on the
Stock Exchange to n close at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon left traders about as
bewildered as they have been this year.
They had seen a wild downswing in
stocks. which carried the list in general
from to points off and in which the
market had every appearance OF going
lower. They had seen. in tho Same session.
n sharp rally. In which the upswing
brought stocks back to within fractions
OF the point from which they had
started. They had seen some good old
fashioned liquidation in the morning and
some good old fashioned buying in the
afternoon. And to top'it all off, there
was no particular news for either swing.
Wall street Gropes for Reasons.
The reason for the downswing in the
morning was most generally ascribed. in
the Street, to tight money The very
heavy Government Withdrawals and the
approaching of. the November l MATURE

on the stock market which would hamper
any material improvement in stocks. The

money advanced to 10 per cent. ana the
change did not make any appreciable
dent In the ypswing. In some quarters
the unsettlement of the market and its
dashing about hither and thither In
search of an equilibrium is attributed
to the general readJustment of COM
modify prices. in which very few cor
porations know exactly where they
stand. 1t is conceded, right and left,
that the general public is not buying
stocks and Is not in any great rush to
buy commodities. Shelves are. empty.
but buyers do not materialize. Every
body appears to be waiting for lower
prices. when we get to point where

FARM DEPARTMENT.

one bird to another, scaly-leg fowls
should be treated promptly and
should not be introduced among clean
birds. Investigations made under
the supervision of the United States
Department of Agriculture show that
carbolineum or crude petroleum used
on the roosts doubtless will aid in
preventing the spread Of the scaly-
leg mite from one fowl to another
Applying crude petroleum to the legs
with brush or dipping the legs into
this oil is very effective. One appli-
cation usually is sufficient, but IL the
scales are not largely shed off after
a lapse of 80 days the treatment
should be repeated. Kerosene oil is
applied by some farmers in the same
way, but is less effective than crude
oil In using either, care should be
taken not to get the oil on the upper
part of the leg or on the feathers. A
less severe but more laborious treat
ment consists of soaking the feet in
warm soapsuds until the scales are
loosened and then greasing the feet
and legs with sulphur and lard, or
lard containing per cent crude car
bolic acid.
The other itch mite, commonly call
ed the deDluming mite Is very small
creature which burrows into the skin
near the base of the feathers. The
intense itching sometimes causes the
fowls ITO pull their feathers until
they are almost naked. Dipping of
all fowls of an infested flock in tub
of water containing about ounces
of flowers of sulphur and one-half
ounce of laundry soap to each gallon
of water will give complete control.
The fowls should be completely sub
merged and the feathers ruffled so all
parts of the body will be reached by
the liquid. Care should be taken to
keep the dip stirred during treatment
so as to keep the sulphur in suspen-
sion. In case flock has lice as well
rs the depluming mite, three-fourths |
ounce or one heaping tablespoonful
Of sodium fluorid should be added |

going mixture.

AMERICA FEEDING CHILDREN

According to the announcement of
President Seitz the fuel and food con-
dition of Austria ''is generally worse
than last year." Children under 16
years of age to the number of 10000
are being fed by the American child
feeding fund. 1t is said that adults
can recover in a few years from NAL
nutrition, but the growing child that
is underfed is rendered permanently
weak and disabled. The American
relief association has furnished 6S,-
100000 free meals in Austria in the
last 16 months. Only four Ameri-
cans are on the executive staff of
his fund, the work being largely done
by Austrian volunteers.

sides are too sensible to be carried
away by any such criminal policy.
Perhaps the worst comment on the
situation is that while this country
claims to be a Christian nation and
is trying to Christianize Japan, our
people are not willing to treat the
Japanese in a Christian spirit when
Il comes to a concrete cssa The

How Much Meat and Eggs should Be
Given n Child.

How Much Meat and Eggs should Be
Given Child.
In some families children do not
get enough meat and eggs; In 9TH
ers they get too much. A good gem
eral rule commonly followed is to give
n child 2 years old or over an egg ev-
cry other day, and about the same
amount G. ounces) of meat, fish, or
poultry on intervening days. If for
any reason these are omitted from
the child's diet, special care must be
taken to see that other suitable foods
take their place-preferably an extra
amount of milk.
Broiling and roasting are the best
methods of preparing tender meat for
a child. Tough meat should be stew
ed or prepared in a fireless cooker
or first chopped and then broiled. 1t
is important to teach children to chew
meat and other foods properly.
Fried meats, particularly those
pan fried or cooked in small amount
of fat, should not be given to young
children, say nutrition specialists of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. One reason for this is that
fried meats are apt to be overlook
ed and tough, at least on the outside,
and so are likely not to be properly
chewed Another reason is that the
fat used in frying as we'll as that
which fries out of the meat, is likely
to be scorched and changed in COM
position. When this is the case, 1t
is almost certain to be harmful.

WILSON'S FAREWELL.

Industry is now going thru the
settling process Incidental to getting
back to a normal basis a process
which involves some phases that are
disagreeable and to some extent
alarming. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road System during the last month
has dismissed about 10000 employees
and several other roads have reduced
their working forces. The rubber
tire industry, which was hard hit by
the policy of the Federal reserve
board in discouraging loans for lines
of business classed as unessential,
continues to curtail it's operations and
about $4,000 of its former employees
work. From various parts of the
country have come reports of facto-
ries going on short time or shutting

way in which they go thru the win

COMPRESSED AIR AS

A Kansas City, Mo-, physician has
devised a steel chamber to be used in
treating certain classes of patients
with compressed air. The chamber,
IS feet long and 10 feet in diameter
is fitted up somewhat the same as a
sleeping car, accommodations being
provided for 70 persons. Patients
spend from three to IL hours daily
in the chamber under air pressure
of from five to 20 pounds, according
to the condition of each. The treat
ment is said to quiet the nerves. pro-
mote sleep, stimulate the appetite and
renew the store of energy.

who was being treated for cancer be-
came irritated with the radium on the

SQUARE NICKLEs COINED

For the first time in her history
Australia is issuing nickel coins, and
with the new metal is an innovation
in shape. The coins are square with
slightly rounded corners. This form
was adopted for two reasons; they
can be cut cheaper from the metal
sheet, and they stack better. Square
coins are not new; they have long
been used in the settlements of the
Far East.
