France and Germany, Friends

timatum in the matter of reparations

pose to pay as best she could, there have
come hints of happier understanding be-
tween that country and France than could
we'll have been imagined few bitter years
gone by. What the deeper students OF
economics ana of human history discerneu
logn ago thoughtful men on both sides of
the Rhine are coming to recognize, namely,
that these two peoples will fare vast deal
better by working together for their mutual
good than by fighting for narrowly selfish
ambitions.
This view might have prevailed a genera
ton ago had there been more craftsmanship
and less militarism in Germany, more OF
the spirit of brotherhood and less of the
mania of Napoleon in Europe. For what
could have been more natural, had they
paused to consider than for these descend

common means to proGperity and progress?

Reflections of a Bachelor Girl

By Helen Rowland
In love-making, the more art, the less
heart-and alas, no woman knows whlcn
to choose!
Flatterv is a habit-forming drug. The
more girl gets Of it at twenty, the bigger
doses she can swallow at thirty, forty
yea, and seventy!
Every man feels sure that he would
adore helpless, little clinging-vine-lf she
would only LET GO, occasionally.
A man can forgive a woman for MAX
ing fool, a pack-horse or slave OF MIN
for anything on earth except making
fool of herself over him, so that it is I'M
possible for him to go on idealizing her.
An unhappy marriage is the poison gas
which chokes out all mans ambitions;
Int it is more often the morphia of a
perfectly happy marriage which deadens
all a womans aspirations.
No girl is going to bother her head
over the Einstein discovery, in this weather,
so long as she can work out theory OF
RELATIVELY that will make the powder stick
to her nose.
Perhaps that clergyman is right, when
he declares that eff there were no Vamps'
there would be divorces" but, dear
me, what credit would a poor man get for
being a devoted husband" with nothing
to "resst!'
Sometimes woman doesn't know
whether to feel flattered or insulted when
her husband declares fervently that he
would never marry again, if she should die

QUIET TONE TO
COTTON MARKET
Traders Disposed to Await
Developments on Impor-
tant Foreign Issues.

NEW YORK. April 25.--The cot
ton market was quiet today as there
was a general disposition to await
definite developments on the move
ment to settle the German indem-
nifty question and also the British
coal miners strike. An adjustment
of both of these important matters
will undoubtedly have a consider
able stimulating influencing On
trade and market sentiment. They
would mean broadening of the
worlds trade, with a resultant in
crease in the demand for our cotton
from European and continenta'
spinners. But until the trade here
receives rather definite assurance
the present negotiations to effect
compromise agreement in adjust
ing the German indemnity question
are successful. there is a disposition
to go slow in bullinE the cotton
market just at a time when any eX-
tensive advance in the market
might nullify to some extent the
efforts to decrease the acreage for
the new crop as much as between
20 and IS per cent on the average.
Planting operations are now under
full headway from the central to
the northern part OF the belt.
The switching out of long spec
ulatively held May contracts by local
and Wall Street dealers and com
mission houses into July and Octo-
Der was the real feature of the
market today. while the majority
OF trade interests awaited further
developments on the European sit
uation. Some of the spot houses
were offering to buy all the May
contracts sold in order to continue
their control of local stocks of cot
ton here, while they sold July
against such purchases. There is
total contract stock here at present
of about 10000 bales, and as to-
morrow will be the first day Of the

When Vice President Calvin s.
Coolidge aIights from the train in
Pittsburgh on April 2s to attend the
Founders Day celebration Of the
Carnegie Institution he will wear an
.overcoat to which he attaches such
great value that the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland was
called upon TO provide unprecedent-
ed measures for its protection dur
ing the exercises.
This overcoat was presented to
the Vice President by the American
Wool Growers Association and is
made from American wool and
through its entire process of manu-
facture was handled only by Ameri-
can workmen and all work done in
American factories on American
soil. 1t is one OF the most priced
of Mr.. Cooiidge's possessions.
Last month Mr.. Coolidge came
within an ace of losing this valued
garment and only heroic action by
his butler prevented a catastrophe
which would have disturbed the
Vice Presidential mind. II all hap
pened after a luncheon which Mr..
Coolidge had rendered to the Hon.
Joseph Burlington. judge of the L.
S. Circuit Court Of Appeals Of Penn
syIvania and Geo. H. Clapp, a prOmi-
nent Pittsburgher.
When Judge Burlington left Mr..
Coolidge's house, he was wearing
the Vice Presidents famous coat.
Innocently proceeding down the ave-
nue.. he was held up by a trafic
policeman and his attention called
to the Coolidge butler who. some
distance in the rear, was pursuing
his honor with a total lack OF but
lerian dignity.
1t so happens that both Judge
Burlington and Mr.. Clapp are mem
bers of the board Of directors of
the Carnegie Institution and were
anxious to have the Vice President
attend the Founders Day exercises.
Fearing that Mr.. Coolidge might de-
cline the invitation unless it was
made certain that the overcoat
would be safe. Judge Burlington and
Mr.. Clapp applied to v. L. p. Shri-
yer. Pittsburgh representative of
the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland. for a bond indemnify
ing the Vice President against loss
or damage to. his coat while attend
ing the exercises.
The bond was executed in the
penalty of $3.50 and contains many
unusual provisions. among which
are the following:
The Surety shall not be liable
unless the overcoat is worn on
Founders Day in Pittsburgh and by
its said owner in propria persona.

TIMELY WALL STREET TOPICS

NEW YORK. April 25.-The week
opened with another market of sales
totaling 100000 shares. With the
oil stocks again leading the way
and steels running a close second,
the whole industrial list, with few
exceptions, moved forward. Gains
of 1 to points were numerous, the
features being Mexican Petroleum.
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. Sears
Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, Cru
chile Steel, Vanadium, and American
Coca Cola. Steel common advanced
full point to s4S in the early
trading, lost all of IL by early after
noon and then moved forward frac-
tionally. The beginning of the NTH
hour brought switching OF spec
ulative attention from industrials to
rails. The result was an advance
in the rails, notably Southern PacInc
and Northern Pacific, without reduc-
ing net gains of the. industrials
more than fractionally.
Continued ease in the call money
market has strengthened the deter
mination of brokers to hold aloof
from time money commitments. The
supply of funds available for loans
for fixed periods is plentiful but
lenders are not willing yet. to re-
duce the rate on new loans below
per cent. The result is that very
little business is done and rates are
nominal. Some renewals are being
made at 6A per cent. however.

best grades OF commercial paper

by some tangible news development
that could be used as a cause. As

least two distinct occasions within
