June Il
(Rr Thnrnsnn G MIX innnn \

10y 1lOmSOn
We have had another unsettled market,
with a continuation of liquidation in
many of our leading and active stocks.
Some issues have made new lows on this
decline. American Sugar, Mexican Pc
troleum and Crrcible were among the
tended into the railroad group and values
there gave way, though to a more mod
crate extent than the industrial list
During the short session a few issues
were fairly strong, some showing a fair
price recovery
II is difficult to point to any one cause
for the renewal of the heavy liquidation.
1t is rather a combination of many cir
cumstances, some financial Nsome com
mercial, some political, and IL some in
stances due to conditions in the particu-
lar company.
There is one point however, that ap-
plies generally to the entire market That
is the tremendous shrinkage in our bust
ness. The figures published from Wash
ington today reporting the volume OF our
exports and imports for the month of
May shows clearly what has transpired
and suggests the necessity of our indus
tries adapting themselves TO reduced vol
ume and to a reduced level of prices.
The sooner each company does thus the
better it will be for its stockholders.
It is likely that some of the recent
liquidation may have been for the pur-
pose of providing funds to meet tax pay
ments due next Wednesday, and with
this out of the way one source of weak
ness will have been removed.
But we are still forced to consider
the broad question, when may we exp9ct
to return 10 normal commercial activi-
ties?" and until we can see an answer
to this clearly doubt will prevail as to
a permanent recovery in the market.
In the meantime we are no doubt ere
ating a technical situation that may give
81 Fss#rs rF.lsNu al ,ratl
even though it prove to be but tempo
rary.

OF qualification, without any considera-
tion Of sex?
This question 's the more living az
present because there has been much talk
of woman for a cabinet position IN the
new administration.
Such talk would have been impossible
SO short a while ago that one IS quite
prepared for big happenings IN the political
field where women ale concerned. Nena-
tor Wadsxorth. who was opposed 10
woman suffrage, has come out as tavorIng
a woman cabinet officer. Not Tor one 0f
the old posts, but for new one 70 be
created The department Of pubic well
fare. should such a department De
created, is the one which could be iilled
bv woman with entire satisfaction,
according TO the Senator.
Whether or not woman Is included III
the new cabinet, is of course OF no particu-
lar importance in itself. 1t IS the TACT that
women can. and that they expect TO, fill
such positions, that IS important.
Politics as a career Is going 70 be
field for women, and great field There Is
no doubt about this at all. Many \ college
{
girl will now specialize IN political science
with the definite idea Of making politics
her profession. And many girls who are
not going through college will also plan
10 work for their country as servants OF
the people in various positions OF trust
| and importance.
To be such servant Is fine ambition,
and great opportunity for patriotic
good. Women have proved faithful, have
gwen evidence Of real spirit Of sacrifice
for the public welfare in such political
Positions as they have already bad Now
that they are coming to the front more
generally, now that politics is opening
new career to them, it will be fine thing
if the young womanhood of the country,
with high ideals and fine purpose, can
| be induced TO train themselves for such
work. America needs such women.
