LARNlISTS ARE TRAITORS,
SLACKERS, SAYS BISHOP

Louisville, KY, - 1--WE are blaming
many things upon the war for which
the war was not responsible at ALL"
said Bishop Charles E. Woodcock in
a talk at the Exchange Club luncheon.
"It is mainly the slackers and loafers
who are talking about the war. The
great unrest of today is not longing
for the fleshpots of Egypt, but is mere
ly great hunger for expression. The
worst pessimist and traitor is the man
who blieves his own age the worst.
Our age is far from being the worst"

The further improvement shown IN
the reserve ratio Of the Federal Reserve

news overnight. Accepting this as an
indication Of steady progress in the cor

cident was q decided constructive factor.
Marketwise il cut just ms much ice as
any Of the recent favorable develop
ments. II was conditions within the
market itself that served to keep the
list in sluggish motion rather than out
side influences. Precisely the same
tactics were followed by the professional
traders, and these scall ing operations
kept fluctuations ragged and uncertain.
Ii was evident. however. that while the
market iamentably lacked concerted
buying power. there was also evidence
Of an exhaustion of bear energies for
the time being at least, yet ut the same
time it was obvious many groups have
not yet completed their adjustments.
Spc ulative shares at the opening

pressure. but not the same caibcr as
experienced in the recent liquidating
movement. Interest virtually Converged

Of speculative interest other than en-
anating from the shifting and mecurial
operations Of the professional element.

u. G.. |. SOLD OFF
on NEW Gas BILL
Relief Measure apparently
Had Been Expected and
PrOued Discounted

The disappointing reception of the
action Of City Council yesterday on
the local gas question By the stock Of
the Z. G.. |. Co. in today's local market
was omen TO two interpretations. First.
~" r"'ief measures granted by the
city fathers had been anticipated and
was therefore discounted, or. following
the tradition of the street. with the
good news out. those who make their
bread and butter in stock dealings, felt
1t was good time to get out and cash
in paper profits in sight.
While II was felt that the company
did not get all IL was entitled to. it
wns nevertheless looked upon as an
acceptable compromise. The increase
in the gas rate to The consumer from
: per Thousand feet TO S1.1O. and for
thc surrender by the city of fifteen
cents of the twenty five cents now re.
ceivcd from the company from the s,lV
of each 1000 feet of gas. in more con-
Scrvativc circles was generally regarded
rs a fairly good deal.
II is true. according 70 the statement
issued by Mr.. Bodine last night. from
the increased income of 81 600 900 for
one year must be deducted the increase
cost Of making 800 Il. 7. U. gas as
compared with the $40 B. 7. u. now
supplied. This additional cost will be
approximately 81 200. 900. making the
net increase in tho income for the next
year S2, 800. 900. which is the estimated
'oss fixed by the management for the
year under the $50 B. T. T. standard.
II was pointed out that the relief
granted puts the company on its feet
for a year at least and by the expira
tiOn Of that period many of the cOndi-
tions now confronting the management
will possibly have reached pormal
equilibrium.
The stock was offered rather freely
in the early dealings, causing the price
to recede to 341a, an overnight loss Of
*, md 81 points under the top price
Of the year. When these profit taking
sales were out of the way the dealings
were of comparatively small volume
