WALL STREET GOSSIP By MONITOR.
Sentiment grows more confused each
day. Firms whose opinions carry weight
express divergent views. There is agree
ment that the long trend of the market
is upward. Differences OF opinion are
confined TO the immediate future. In
some quarters ii is held there is con-
siderable distribution of an important
character in progress in anticipation Of
a sharp reaction which usually occurs
between Nov. Is and Jan. 1. The other
view is that the narrow range is main
tanned for the purpose Of firing holders
of stocks, thus encouraging their sale.
If this latter view is correct, no serious
reaction is anticipated. The bulk of the
opinions inclined, however, to the theory

MUST MEET FACTORS
FOR DEVELOPMENT.

while only two accidents are attrib-
uted to the lack of weather reports and
two to the lack of clearly defined routes
or limitations in travelling between or
over cities" the Air Service declares, SIT
Is certain that aerial transport cannot
develop until these factors are met. As
IN Illustration, two of the worst acct
dents in our flying history are attributed
to these causes. As one was naval and
the other military they cannot be in
Guided in the civil table, although in
their results they are as harmful to civil
flying prospects as though they had oc-
CURED to private indiv juals."
The Air Service calls ttention to the
fact that stunt flying sas responsible
for half Of the reported accidents and
asserts that stunning is necessary to
testing and essential to warfare-and 1t
is believed advisable that all pilots know
how to stunt, so that in case Of an emer-
gency, when only a stunt will save their
craft they will be able to act quickly.
The habit of stunning is dangerous, fatal
IN many instances and always harmful to
CT yil flying.
"A Government system of control, lin
iting stunning to certain areas, the state
ment continues, will meet this unfortu-
nate condition.

Former Resident Driving
Truck Runs Down and
Kills Woman.

W. J. pewick. who Friday after
noon killed an unidentified woman in
Dcs Moincs by running over her with
"a heavily loaded coal truck, is a for
mer Webster City man, having been
employed here last summer as a truck
driver for the National Sewer Pipe
company. Pewick WAS arraigncd in
municipal court in Des Moines Fri

was entered against him. He pleaded

$1,000 bonds pending trial.
According to the story of the ac-
cident told by an eye witness, the
woman was crossing Center street
from the southeast corner She had
proceeded only about ten feet when the
truck loaded with from three to four
tons of coal. travelling north on Ninth
street. approac hcd the intersection and
turned east on Center street. a heavy
grade east on Center street is believed
to be the reason for the drivers re-
ported speeding up as he rounded the
corner. striking the woman and knock
ing her forcibly to the pavement. The
front wheels passed over her body. it
is reported. and when the driver threw
on his brakes and stopped the car

|NTERURBAN WILL
ENLARGE CAPACITY
May Spend 100000 on I'm.
prOverlents to be Made
for Betterment.

An increase, in the interurban car
department to about five times its pres
ent capacity has been decided upon
by the Fort Dodge. Des Moines 4
Southern Railroad Work will be done
as soon as the weather permits in lay
ing the additional traciase for the car
REPAIR department.
The announcement of the proposed
Improvement followed the completion
by President c. H. Crooks of the cleo
tric road of the purchase of tract
of land containing a little more than
ten acres at Boone. The tract was pur-
chased for consideration of $500 per
acre and will be the location of the
new yards.
Our present facilities are entirely
too SMALL said President Crooks. "Our
cars We're new in the past and were
not in the need of heavy repair Now
they are of the age when they require
4 good overhauling and we are equip
ping ourselves to do it,"
The new repair track laying apparatus
which will be installed to do the work
will, according to President Crooks,
represent an investment of about $40,-
900. The Fort Dodge line, however,
will probably spend on the tracks dur
ing the coming year about 100000.
The company figures that it will prob
ably average about $500 to repair car
and it has 1000 cars to be repaired.
During the car storage there was a
great demand for the Fort Dodge line
cars but since the depression has set
in the majority of them have been re-
turned The Fort Dodge line is not
doing any repair work
for other roads but is going to take
care of its own cars only.
With present facilities the best that
can be done at the Fort Dodge yards
is the repairing completely of one box
car per day. With the increased facili-
ties it is expected that this number
will be increased to five per day.

Advancing Years.

When first you find within your mind
For quiet joys preference;
Or when, again, some younger men
First treat your views with Difference
When you'll confess to more or less
Political perplexity-
When first YOU cape adown you shape
At manifest convexity;
When first you choose some easy shoes
That strike your wife as hideous;
But with the care you give your hair
You're more, not less fastidious;
When first you feel your blood CONCEAL
To hear an unlocked laddie call
"Old fashioned CUFF" the daring stuff
That you considered radical
But, most of all, when first you call
a new idea, "impiety;"
When first you say some modern way
Will undermine society,"
You are not old-your heart is bold
You've courage, strength, ability
Yet you have passed the peak at last
You're headed for senility!
