BROKERS TOO BUSY,
HAVE TO SHUT DOWN
F. A. Henry & Co., Swamped by
Odd-Lot Orders, Plan to
Change System
SOLVENCY NOT QUESTIONED

II is not often any business reaches
such large proportions that it cannot be
handled satisfactorily. but this was the
experience of r. A. Henry & Co.. odd
lot dealers I'm seucriticS. and members
of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
In an announcement sent to the mem
bnrs of the stock exchange this morning
they stated the volume of business had
so overwhelmed their organization as to
make IL necessary TO discontinue trad
Ing for the time being.
The firm. according to the statement
made by F.. A. Henry. was organized
70 deal in odd lots on the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange. principally in securi-
ties dealt in on the New York Stock
Exchange, which business was previ-
ously handled by specialists in New
York.
1--WE began trading" Mr.. Henry
said. lin the odd lots October I and
did not expect these transactions would
exceed 200 to 300 shares daily. Much
to our surprise they grew into thou
sands of shares and one day last week
our cards showed turnover in excess
of 5000 shares.
The bulk of this business was be-
tween our firm and members Of the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange and little
for the public in direct transactions.
When it is considered that these odd
lot transactions ranged from ono share
up to twenty and required the same
prompt attention in making deliveries
and transfers, it can easily be appreci-
ated WHY the immense volume of busi-
ness got beyond our control
"Oficials and some of the members
of the Stock Exchange at first were in
clined vigorously to oppose our propo-
sition temporarily to discontinue the
trading in odd lots because of the fear
that it might cause an erroneous i'm
preston concerning our solvcncy. We
were able to convince them of our abil-
ity to complete all deliveries and con-
tracts and that it was only question
of disseminating the trading for time
sufficient to get our books in shape and
design new system for handling
the ever-increaSing volume of business
with greater expedition of Deliveries"

FASHION FRILLS

Lavender hats worn with darn
dresses are very smart.
Baroche pearls worn on a silken
cord are the latest fancy.
Canton crepe continues to be the
seasons most fashionable fabric.
Chic, allover embroidery jackets are
worn with plain skirts, giving a two
fabric effect.
Lace-trimmed hats, with cascades of
lace off the left and sometimes off both
sides, are worn.
Felt hats, in white, gray, lavender,
flame and orange are fruit or flower
trimmed and much worn.
Ginghams, chambrays, organdies
and dark dotted swisses are among
the favorite cotton fabrics.
Black and navy, with an occasional
gray gown, make the sum total of most
smart daytime gatherings.
White yelling is having a tremen-
dOus vogue and usually it is dotted
with variously colored chenille.
Coat dresses, the front draped over
to the side and held with one button
are much worn in navy or black cloth
Few hens are straight these days
skirts being scalloped, pointed or their
line broken by longer panels or fringe
Coiffure bands coming down over
the forehead and fastening under the
hair at the sides have been seen much
lately.
Lace has invaded the realm of the
purse-the outside this time! After
noon bags, pouch shape, are often fash
ioned of it.
Princess frOcks. the semi-fitted kind
are made with shallow neck lines anC
without sleeves, and are very smart
for evening wear.

Slight Alterations viii Enable the
Transformation Where There Are
Objectionable Features.

Quite frequently shops offer excel
lent values I'm dresses that are ex-
treme in style or that have some fea-
ture about them that blocks their sale.
Ones first impulse is to reject such a
model, but experience has taught one
canny shopper that models of this
type are possible after they have been
revised at home or by a reliable tailor
or seamstress.
An unbecoming neck-line, a sleeve
that is the wrong length or does not
fit well, even the introduction of a
conspicuous color in some way may
be altered with gratifying results.
Eliminating Objectionable details, a
dress with a very full circular skirt
proved to be rather a drug on the
market at one shop, principally because
brilliant green cloth, with steel but
tons had been inserted at the sides,
so that in the swing of the skirt a
not too generous display of hosiery
would result. The cut Of the skirt
was extreme enough to give pause,
but plus the spectacular touch of
green it was voted impossible by the
women to whom it was offered, until
along came a woman with a vision
that could see black satin substituted
for the green, and the severe renais-
sance neckline could be sOftened by
opening the front Of the plain bodice
and inserting a V of some fiattering
lingerie material-changes, which,
while very slight, altered the entire
spirit of the gown.
Now that sleeves of contrasting ma

CATS CONFINED TO "RANGE"
Plan for Keeping Pete From
Straying Far Afield.

Another western idea was adapted
to city uses the other day when a
south-sider. who once rode the range
on the Colorado plateaus, staked out
his cats to keep them at home. The
plan worked fine and now the feline
animals get the air every day at the
ends of tether ropes.

quently staying away for days and
returning with blackened eyes and
scratched hides. He thought of the
tether plan, but the first trial was not
success. as the cats slipped the
nooses from their necks. He then
evolved a semi-hobble plan and tied
the heavy string to one of the cats
hind legs. attaching the other end of
the string to stake driven in the
back yard.
This system proved effective and
now every day three of the cats take
their exercise around their tether

Much Elaboration Given to the Get-up
of Both Afternoon and Evening
Purses.

The envelope handbag is not the
only shape in frequent use, nor is red
leather the only material. There is
great variety in the shape, the size

purses of black suede carrying hand
some monograms and tiny evening

bright colored failles, moires and odd

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores IN bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bingham
ton, N. y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

GREAT DAY IN LANCASHIRE
sermons Sunday" Gala Occasion In
the Lives of People of Northern
EnqIand County.

Sermons Sundays" are state occa-
sions in Lancashire, writes northern
parson in the London Daily Mail. No
one who has not been present at one
of them can have any conception of
what they are. Sermons" are held
annually in most of the large towns
outside of Manchester.
In normal times of regular employ
ment Sermons Sunday" is the Sunday
when new summer clothes are put on
for the first time. This year, of course
the majority have had to be content
with making old things do.
The day usually starts with a pro.
cession-Lancashire people love pro-
cessons outside their churches. The
procession is intended partly as a wit
ness to the faith, partly to show the
size of the Sunday school.
In this procession, which consists OF
from $50 to 1,2O0 persons, ages range
from three-year-old little toddlers to
men and women of eighty and ever
more.
The technical Lancashire term fol
the procession is walking"
"Are you walking on SundayT is
probably the most frequent question OF
peoples lips the week before sermons
and to be prevented from walking" Is
/ almost tragedy.
Il once knew an old lady of eighty
SIX" writes the parson, "who claimed
to have walked 81 times, for the frs
she had been carried as an infant IL
arms-and her proudest boast was thai
she had never missed since"
Sermons" is a time for renewing
old associations. If there is a church
yard 1t becomes veritable garden, Sc
much care and affection is bestowed
upon the graves during those few
days, and in many cases the evenin.
congregations are so large that an ex
ira service has to be held in tn,
churchyard.
Other main features of sermons ar
the little singers" the special preach
ers, the immense congregations, ant
the huge collections.
TIE "little singers" are twenty o
more little girls dressed in white, VIII
lead the procession and afterward sin
special hymns during the service.
Special preachers, of course, form
great attraction. In the days of cheap
er fares preachers were brought froI
all parts of England and in som
churches the same preacher would
engaged year after year.
AS to the congregation, it is "poo
day" if the church is not filled to ovel
flowing at least twice, and the size Q
the collection leaves the poor soutf
erner gasping.
Last year in one town collections G
more than f700 were made in on
church and over E550 in another in
single day. And even this year, wit
unemployment and under-employmer
so general, sums of f450 and f2S0 hav
been realized in the day.

up in Kay See, if you meet a respecta-

Saving Something.

A certain railway official has
preached economy in and out of season
until it has rather got on the nerves
of the employees. He likes to talk
to the men, putting questions which he
thinks will bring out their special
abilities and demonstrate their fitness
for promotion, and recently he
cornered a locomotive fireman.
What would you do" the official
asked. eff you saw that your train was
heading into an unavoidable collision
that promised to be an utterly de-
structive wreck?"

promptly, "rd grab lump of coal in
each hand, yell to the engineer to

Newest of Wraps
Models in TriCotine, Twill Cord,
Normandy and Others.
Heavy Black Satin Reversed With

Two-in-One Garment.

1t is interesting to note the enthu-
siasm with which women are greeting
the newest wraps. Every week new
models are shown in tricotine, twill
cord, normandy, bolivia and velOurs.
To cover ones afternoon gown there
is a delightfully."- swagger wrap of
heavy black satin reversed with Hard
ing blue satin and heavily fringed at
the bottom knee deep. The incest part
is that one may reverse this wrap for
evening occasions to the light side,
thus making it a sort of twO-in-one
model.
And the fringe. lends graceful eff
feet. swaying gracefully when the
wearer is in motion. A big collar
capes the shoulders and is tied in
front with long sash ends.
Just the thing for motoring is a
brand new wrap of plaid wool, fringed
at the bottom and deeply coliared and
cuffed in plain material. This model
wraps itself close about the figure
thus insuring warmth and beauty.
Among the slender coat wraps there
is one in tobacco brown, excellent for
street wear, developed in loose wrap
like lines, shirred at the waistline
girdled by a narrow belt and touched
here and there by silk s.itchery.
For dressy occasions is a coat OF
gray tricotine, in Tuxedo style, with
facing extending from neck to hem
For added attraction the revers are
scalloped deeply and the turn-bacE
cuffs also follow this example. mar
row string girdle is tied about the hips
giving the low line so fashionable this
season.
Black satin and navy tricotine com
bine effectively in many top coats fol
daytime occasions, and in almost every
one there is a hint of embroidery thai
lends subtle charm all it's own.
