Precious Metals Are Big Factor

Precious Metals Are Big Factor
Both gold and silver were prominent
in the weeks developments. 1t was
reported that some $4,000, 900 in gold
was to be expected from England
shortly. The Bank of England's
statement disclosed further increase
in that Institutions bullion holdings of
nearly FL 200, 600. making a total added
weeks of about $25,000,000.
The report of gold coming here and
for a sharp rise in quotations for ster-
ling exchange. which came within frac-
ton of the 81 level for sight drafts on
London. After reacting broadly the
first half of the week. silver turned
about and advanced briskly following
clarification of the terms under which
the government was prepared to pur-
chase the metal under the provisions of
| the Pittman act.
The price in London rose to 49H
pence. These were world market
quotations as distinguished from the
mint price at 81, which would net the
seller 9912 cents per ounce 900 fine.
Offerings of silver at the mint were not
previously forthcoming because of the
requirement calling for an afida,,r
showing that silver offered was mined in
the country.
Modification of the rule was made,
permitting the offering of mixed silver
provided the vender gave satisfactory
proof of the proportions of AmerIr,,,
mined ore and Of reductions from
| foreign ores. The first to offer metal
under the rule was the American Smelt
ing and, Refining Co., the sale of that
company amounting to SOC, 900
| ounces.
Interest in railroad matters was
! largely concentrated on the diviornu
outlook. The recent action Of the
Chicago and Northwestern directors in
cutting the rates on the common and
preferred shares gave no little concern
to holders of railroad stocks in general,
This was accentuated by the fact tina,
meetings of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific were scheduled for
this week. The former was not held
because quorum was not obtainablc,
Dividend Of Northern Pacific
At the meeting of the latter company
the dividend was maintained to the
intense relief of the stockholders. lnIs
action was freely prophesied, but mi :
fllment Of the prophecy was only mod
erately consoling, in view of matter,
impending. In September Greai
Northern has $40 900 900 of gold notes
maturing, financing of which has
already been arranged for here, it was
understood
On July /, next year, however, IN,
two roads have their j, int Burlington
bonds to pay off, amounting to S1O7 600
600. These obligations and the uncer -.
tainty as to what will be done in tbs
way of granting freight increases left
the dividend question at the Septembc,
Der meeting open to question.
The situation was not without II,
bearing on the whole railroad diyidenl
outlook. Share prices were not mn
terally changed and it is unlikely tha,
the speculative and investment position
In that quarter will experience improve
msnt under the circumstance.

QUITS HORSES
FOR KENNELS
Miss Constance Vauclain,
OF Philadelphia. to Close
Her Famous Stables.

Phiiadelphia, Pa. April with
the announcement of the breaking
up Of Miss Constance II. vauclain's
stable of show horses-it will take
place this week-it became known
that she will enter the dog show
game. This new interest was
aroused when Miss vauclain, on Q
recent trip abroad with her father.
Samuel NJ vauclain. president Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, was at
tracted by two especially hne bull
terriers which she immediately pur-
chased and which she brought back
to her home in Rosemont
Strange. indeed. will Il seem 70
the many lovers Of the horse show
not to ind Miss vauclain carrying
or many blues. The passing OF this
stable of show horses Is q great loss
to those who have keen interest
in this sport
II am tired Of showing my horses.
and Of the work connected with
, maintaining my stables, SO I shall
dispose of all but two Of my horses.
The Whip. which father wishes me
to retain, and Tricky (known to the
public as Arbite). my favorite
hunter" said Miss vauclain. This
horse won the championship at
Madison Square Garden in 1919.
Miss Vauclain has not made up
her mind never to show any more
horses, for she said with q smile, 81
may show q few hunters later on"
which gives q ray Of hope to her
admirers of the tanbark.
Last year Miss vauclain's horses
were shown in 344 events in the
thirteen exhibitions She won BIG
ribbons and $500. Her horses dur
ing the year took twenty champion
ribbons and 135 blues.

The Head Nurse Saws:
Concerning Fatigue,o -

+ Don't stand too long. How often
we hear some one exclaim that she
Is nearly dead" from standing all
day. In standing the whole sus-
tained effort is on one group of
muscles-those Of the feet. One
would think this would mean tired
feet only; instead the worker who
stands all day is exhausted in every
muscle and is mentally "all in" for
this reason. Waste matter or poison
is produced in every fatisued mus
Gle. The blood flows through the
poisoned muscle and carries the
poison to all others including the
brain and we have general ex-
haustion.
Locally those who = stand much
may have broken arches in addition
to poisoned muscles. Walters.
trained nurses, salespeople and in
dustrial workers are the classes
most likely to be affected with fat
foot. An aching corn is another ex-
ample of general fatigue resulting
from the overwork of one set of
muscles. In the endeavor to save
the corn the muscles of the whole
leg are brought into play and pro.
duce waste matter to poison the
rest of the muscles.
walking is less tiring than stand
ing and running less firing than
walking. In walking the weight Of
the body is lifted by the ankle
muscles particularly. Running on
the other hand consists of a con-
tinual falling forward and the
of the equilibrium by
the muscles Of the body as a whole.
Because of the fatigue poisons
and their dire results laws are be-
ing enacted in many States and
countries to protect the worker who
stands-particularly the potential
mothers Of the race.
