at the same time a commission house de-
mand developed for some Of the lower
priced rails.
Later in the day there was a covering
movement in the industrials that have
been the objects of bearish attack, In
Guiding Atlantic Gulf and Asphalt, while
Studebaker, which has been consistently
strong recently, was again in demand
Commission houses were moderate buy
ers of the stock early, while shorts were
buyers on the bulge.
The matter of dividends Is still the
topic OF most interest and has been the
main incentive for bearish operations.
There are still some companies to be
heard from and some further dividend
revision IS likely.
Taking the market as q whole, It Is
giving a fairly good account of itself, con-
sidering how slowly business is recover
ing and how very unsatisfactory condi-
tons are in Europe.
There is nothing at the moment that Is
calculated to create any market enthu-
siasm, but we undoubtedly have tech
meal situation that is favorable. and
which will be very helpful in promoting
the seasonal recovery, which is now due.

blue-eyed girl you saw in the sewing

New Jersey town when she was only

appeared. Her parents and the husband
reported the matter to the police, and
last week the Bureau of Missing Persons

Wheat-The attitude of the general
public can be discovered from the ma
terial decrease in the business Of mail
order houses, their reports showing a
sharp falling off from a year ago at this
time Inasmuch as a demand is vital
to any advance, 1t 10 quite possible to
build up ideas of lower prices, based
upon the cessation of investment de
mand, the slow export and milling de-
mand.
Corn and Oats-There is no individ-
uality In corn and oats These markets
were inclined to frmness Thursday, but
met selling by cash interests Fair ex-
port business was again reported, but
the New England demand is slow, de-
spite a growing idea that quantities on
hand are very small. We see nothing Ia
dicative Of any important change.
PrOvisions-Strength in hogs was felt
in products, but packers were again
sellers. While hogs are expected to re-
main strong, 1t VIII be necessary TO
build up a considerable improvement in
the demand for products if any partic-
ular advance is to be secured.

ATTENTION GIVEN
TO ENVIRONMENT.

While each girl, in a sense, represents
different problem, she usually falls
into one Of three classes She is either
girl who rebels against the harsh and
| unsympathetic attitude Of her parents
one who has developed wayward tend
encies through the dance hall, or one
who has been encouraged to immortality
in her own home.
Some girls with foreign-born parents
have a particularly difficult time at home.
Their mothers are wholly incapable OF
cornprehending the American woman's at
titude Of independence, and raise q row
if their daughters do not spend their
evenings ut home, embroidering. If q
girl In some of the foreign colonies stays
out until II o'clock at night, according
to the probation officer. she is apt to re-
ceive a beating when she gets home and
to be accused of serious miSdemeanOrs.
My mother said | was a bad woman
so many times" explained one of the
girls who came to Waverly, that
thought | might as we'll be one."
Perhaps the most pathetic and difficult
problem with which the probation Of
fcers have to deal is that of the girl
who is taught to be immoral in her own
home.
ave usually send girls Of this type
to Hillcrest farm for the summer, and
let them live in the open air as much as
possible, and try to make them forget
their past experiences. Then, II they are

different from the ordinary carriage
dasher and it is even said that some
of them had a whip-socket. The
first gasolene cars were not much
different from the first steam car
models.
Then came the machine that had
two seats, arranged in sthe surrey
style and so high that he who rode
was perpetually in fear of being
jounced over the end into the road.
The danger of being Slated"
out was SO great, that the manufac-
turers of automobile bodies put on
their thinking caps and evolved the
first tonneau. And what tonneau
it was. The door was in the rear
and on the door was little seat
that fitted into the space between
the other two seats.
For a couple of seasons this style
of body lasted. 1t was found that.
to get into the tonneau. the car
either had to be backed up to the
curbing or else the passenger had
to walk through the mud to get in
to the machine. But for all that.
the style was an improvement over
the surrey type. 1t gave more

was also safer when riding over a
bunny road.
But the rear door proved such
a nuisance that the side door to
the tonneau was invented. The
front seat was still left open and
those who cared snapped leather
boots" or curtains in place to
keep out the dust. Along about
this time, the first named" body
was created when the king of
Belgium" style came out, heavy,
bullying at-the-rear type that was a
wonder for the period, but even
though it were commodiovs, 1t
had to give way to something else.
Manufacturers decided that, .since
automobiles were becoming more
common, something must be done
to make them more comfortable.
The so-called "fore-door" was in
vented and this enclosed the driv-
er's seat. Those manufacturers who
did not put on fore-doors howled
them down on the ground that they
were in the way and made the car
SO hot that it was uncomfortable
driving. The enclosed front seat.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S-That
the next Congress will seriously con-
slider the proposed plan Of o Nation
al system of interstate highways is
now assured. This action was pre-
dicted by the Senate's refusal to

ed in the Federal Aid Road Act,

lions to satisfy many of its original
adherents. While the Federal
money in some states aided mater

of inter-county roads, in other
states the rich counties matched
the dollars from the National Treas
ury, with the result that the poor
counties were still left in the mud.
Though the organized motorists
co-operated with the state highway
officials in urging the Federal AID
Road Act, the two groups were not
in entire accord in the recent legis-
lative effort. Both were agreed that

O97.
In two states, namely California
and New York, the r1gures given in
the following table cover only the
first IL. months of the registration
year ending February %, 1921. The
total registrations for the year will
therefore exceed 100000 cars and
receipts will probably reach $780,
100000
1t thus appears that there is now
one motor vehicle for about every

more than one-fifth of the total
annual expenditure for all roads
and bridges in the United States.
The gain in registrations over 1919
amounts to 2,114,S70, which is the
