Luke McImke Says.

Leave 1t to any woman who has
grown daughters and she will tell you
that she was married when She was
q mere chi d.
A woman likes to have a SIS hat 80
she can tell everybody that II cost
500 more than It did.
The reason why Father knows that
Daughter has lever been kissed is be
cause some nice young man IN town
knows different.
Hand a man your card and the bet
ting Is that he will run hts thumb
over 1t to ascertain whether 1t Is
printed or engraved.
A married woman shoots her
mouth off SO much that her husband
wonders why she doesn't have fever
blisters all the time.
Anyway, the kind Of woman who
can't trim her own hat can trim her
husband for her hat.
There was a time when O. man paid
a dime to see a Bearded Lady. But
nowadays he sees so many OF them on
the street that he pays no attention to
them.
A money grubber usually puts off
having his good time so long that his
heirs have II.
Many an actress claims that she is
welded to her art when she hasn't
even an engagement.
Many a man gets a reputation as q
lucky cuss because he keeps still
when he loses n brags when he
wins.
Somehow or other, 1t always humil-
iates q man to have to admit that he

1t is doubtful If a woman would let

Ripping RHYMES
Gone Fer keeDs,
BY WALT MASON

GoGc EST AGeDSs
Most things come back that go
away; our sshlp comes sailing to
its shore; the blooming flowers
come back in May. the bird to its
accustomed spray, but money
bruned comes back no more. oh,
often, when old age Is here, the
man of sorrow walks tho floor,
and thinks of joys that cost him
dear, of spendthrift courses year
by year, but money burned comes
back no more. To think of
chances large and fine he wasted,
makes the dotard sore; had he
put down his coin in brine he
might possess his tree and vine
but money burned comes back no.
more. Old thoughts come back to
break his heart. old memories OF
days of yore, when he forsook the
shop or mart to joyride in a mort
gagged cart, but money burned
comes back no more. And there
were gay enameled maids who
helped him blow his scanty store;
their forms come back, from out
the shades and march along in dim
parades, but money burned m
back no more There's nothing
sadder meath the sky than seeing
one whose head is boar bewailing
roubles he made fly, recalling
chances with a sigh: and money
burned comes back no more. So
let us from the weekly wage salt
down nine plunks, perchance a
score: then We'll enjoy our green
old age, if we still loiter on the
stage; but money burned comes
back no more.

An Oyersold Market

The view expressed in conservative
brokerage quarters on Tuesday and
Wednesday that the bears were over
doing the selling side of the market
was borne out by the action of prices
yesterday. Of course the statement of
Governor Harding of the Federal Re
serve Board that the credit situation
was not nearly so bad as has been pic
tu1ed by some bankers was con-
structive factor that had not been
counted upon by many people, but it
was said yesterday that there had been
good buying of stocks on the recent
decline by those whose opinions coin
cided with those of the Federal Re
serve Boards head. Yesterdays ad-
vance was regarded as an orderly one
and at no time during the stock market
session did it appear that the shorts
were in hurry to cover their sales Of
the preceding days.

1t was reported in banking circles
yesterday that one man from the Nash
Motors Company and one from WHY'S
Overland have agreed to give two or
three days a week in cooperation with
the Maxwell Motor management; and
that. with the aid practically assured
by Detroit banks, the present cotnpli-
Gated situation affecting the company
will be worked out to a successful con-
clusion. The immediate money needs
of the company, it was said, are not as
great as has been reported. With re-
gard to the 100000 owed to banks
it was said that the company is ready
to put through permanent financing
plans as soon as the credit situation
Will permit. Inventory account is
gradually working itself down to more
normal proportions, following an in
crease resulting from congested
freight conditions.

American Steel Foundries

Earnings Of the American Steel
Foundries Company, including those of
the Griffin Wheel Company, amounted
to approximately s65O,O00 in June,
after taxes. This is at the rate of
$7,S00,000 per annum, or nearly twice
as much as Steel Foundries earned last
year, when the income of the wheel
company was not taken into account.
Some substantial orders have recently
been booked assuring capacity opera
tions until we'll into the latter part of
the year. From the present outlook
it is estimated that the company will
earn better than SO a share this year
on the common stock, which, as a re-
suit of the last-6 per cent stock divi-
dend, totals $4,000 shares

Harding and Stocks

Stock market spectators of late have
been panning the Federal Reserve Board
for its restrictive policies regarding
credit expansion. But yesterday there
was a disposition for the first time to
talk favorably of the central banking
authorities. Governor Harding's re-
marks anent the credit situation turned
the trick. His statement to the news
paper men to the effect that the situa-
ton is sound was viewed in financial
circles generally as one of the most
constructive developments in weeks. It
gave those traders who are still hold
ing on to stocks encouragement and
threw the bears into confusion. Expert
observers said the better tone displayed
by stocks was directly due to Governor
Harding's statement

Crucible Steel


Probably one of the best explanations
for the way in which Crucible Steel
has stood up against the efforts of bear
operators to depress the price of the
stock lies in the fact that the COM
pany's earnings are still running at
very high rate. The statement sub
mitted tq the Stock Exchange Wednes-
day in connection with the listing of
new shares declared as stock dividend
showed net profits, after charges and
taxes, for the five months ended May
81 of $5,961, ,297, equal to $13.56 share
on the S37 100000 common stock now
outstanding. In the past the short sell
ers in Crucible have met with disaster
more often than with success. particu-
larly because the directors have usu-
ally sprung some sort of surprise just
when it appeared that the stock was in
for a decline.

In Wall Street
The Rate Decision

Although number of railroad Off
cials do not expect the decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the
rate case before the middle of August,
brokers with important Washington
connections said yesterday that the de-
cison is now in the hands Of the gov
ernment printers and that announce
ment of it's contents may be made to-
morrow. "Thc commission" said C..
A. Morse. of Clark, Childs & Co,
sis understood to grant fully 80
per cent Of the request of the
roads, amounting probably to about
81, 400 100000. The Washington be-
lief is that this will be considered
very satisfactory" Following the
earlier days of the week, when n wave
of extreme pessimism pervaded the
Street, the impression prevailed yester-
day that favorable decision might be
followed by substantial rise in rail-
road stocks, although the belief was ex-
pressed that the bonds of the carrier
companies might be little affected.
