HAVE STRICT SOCIAL RULES


A recently published work on the
backward race of northern Rhodesis,
abiding to the stringent rules Of
etiquette obtaining in those parts,
explains that, among other restric-
tons, a Mu-ils man may not eat at
his fsther-in-law's place unless the
latter presents him with a hoe;
neither may he touch the pumpkin
of his wife's father unless the latter
offers him q portion Of it. More
over, a mans relations in law may
not address him by name, or sit by
his side, or relieve him Of any load
he happens to be carrying. Evil
IDENTIFY those who imagine that elab-
orstely developed laws Of etiquette
are to be found mainly with the
more exalted elements Of society in
a highly advanced state, and that BY
returning to primitive conditions
such membranes may be avoided,
are lsboring under a serious delu-
sion.

SEX RIVALRY A SCHOOL AID
Girls and Boys Do Better Work When
They Are In Mixed Glasses,
Ensiishman Asserts.

Is the schoolgirl of today more
susceptible to masculine influence
than was the case nine years ago?
This is suggested by the analysis
of examination results undertaken
by the Middlesex (Eng.) education
committee that girls in mixed
schools do much better than those
at girls schools.
B. S. Colt, secretary to the Mid
dlesex education committee, said he
was entirely in favor of mixed
schools, and that the system was 60
ing to be much developed in Middle
sex.
"While it has been found that
boys work as well in mixed schools
as in boys schools, girls work 20
per cent better at mixed schools"
he said. "The reason is partly be-
cause the presence of boys gives them
q desire to emulation, and they want
to show what they can do. Also
they are not so liable to giggle or
talk and so waste time.
81 found in the records of one
year that the boys worked, too, bet
ter at mixed schools than at purely
boys schools. Girls seem to get
sounder views when working with
boys, too. Girls are much neater
and tidier than boys, and they tend
to make the boys tidier, also"

ON HER HAND.

The other evening l attended a
theater with a man friend. Just as
We were leaving l noticed that l
was holding only one glove in my
hand, so We went back to look for
the other. Several ushers aided us
in the search, and also a number
of men who were still in the theater.
When the search seemed entirely
useless, picture my embarrassment
and CONSERVATION when one of the
ushers exclaimed: "Why, you have a
glove on your hand and are holding
one" 1t was true. We made a
hasty exit amid the laughter of all
present.-Exchange.

An UNUSUAL type Of lifeboat which
operates by sucking water up from
the ocean and blowing it back again
and 30 obtaining . speed Of nine
miles an hour has been adopted by
the life-saving crew which works in
stormy waters along the Dutch
coaet.
The boat has hole in the bottom
through which the water is drawn
by an intake pipe which leads to Q
powerful centrifugal pump operated
by q l40-horsepower steam engine.
The water 10 then forced backward
into the sea through two outlet pipes
opening at the bottom Of the craft.
The boat is controlled by shutting
of. either wholly or in part. one or
the other Of these outlet pipes. II
one is shut of it goes to starboard;
if the other it goes to port IL both
were shut of and the water diverted
harmlessly over the sides while the
suction goes on at the intake, il is
claimed the boat rests almost still in
the stormiest Of seas, the suction
holding it firmly on the water.
The Dutch lifesavers have found
that this craft keeps steadier than
any boat propelled with oars or by
screws. 1t is SO feet long, and has
capacity for from 40 to 100 pas
sengers, depending upon the state
Of the sea. 1t has been in use for
some time and has saved many lives.

CAN RESTORE LIBERTY BELL
MetaIlurolsts Confident Of Their Abiii-
ty to Make Precious Revolutionary
Relics Good as New"

Metallurgists whose authority
cannot be denied assert that they
are able, if the American people de-
sire it, by means Of the electrical
welding process now in daily indus
trial use, not only to obliterate the
big crack in the Liberty Bell, but
to stop the disintegration of the
BELLS material, which, if allowed
to 60 ON, in time will utterly de-
stroy this precious relic.
There is, of course, something at
tractive in the proposal to make the
old bell as good as new, SO that it
can be rung again on sufficiently
great occasions, but after all, when
thus renovated, it would not be the
bell lot of us have seen and a lot
more have viewed as pictured. Its
solution of continuity has become
so familiar that the removal of it
would cause a real sense of loss,
and-well, the Liberty Bell did its
work, so why not let it rest?
As it is, the bell will last our
time and that of not few genera
tions still tc come.
BY the way, it would be interest
ing to know just how many Ameri-
cans still believe that Liberty Bell
was cracked by the wild ringing it
received in celebration of independ-
ence declared. That is a pretty
myth, but as a matter of fact the
bell remained whole and in service
for nearly 60 years after the day
that made it famous.

Market BROADENS
AS PRICES MOUNT.
Interest centered in the Specu'
Iative Issues, With Short
Interest Hard Pressed

New York. Sept. 14.-While consid-
cradle irregularity characterized the
movement of the more active specula-
tive issues today, the stock market
maintained an undertone OF consistent
Us well as significant strength. In all
events. the line Of least resistance,
whether It was due to manipulative in
ueuces or not, was always encoun-
tered on the upward tracks. The wider
movements were still confined largely
to the industrial division, but still
substantial gains were registered both
in the railroad division and also In h
number of inactive and usually obscure
issues. A great deal Of profit taking
was encountered on the advancing
movement which carried a lnrger por-
ton Of industrial division into new high
ground, but these offerings were readily
absorbed, indicating n demand far in
excess of the supply of stocks offerings.
The morning operations were con-
spicuously marked by spirited competi-
tive bidding which made the continua-
tion of the forward swing a comparn-
lively easy task. The buoyancy Of the
opening and the broadening of the spec
ulation in the succeeding operations in
dicated the purpose of the quick up
marking of the selected issues in the
fulfilled. The initial dealings at any
rate disclosed large accumulation Of
buying orders overnight which supplied
u powerful impetus to the rising trend
of prices. At the same time a con-
certed drive was inaugurated against
the short interest and the efforts on the
part of that element to reduce these
commitments encountered aggressive op-
position ON the part OF the pool man
ayers.
The usual leaders Of the OIL equip
ment and steel divisions were the fore
most features. Mexican and Pan
American Petroleums, Houston Oil,
Royal Dutch, baldwin Locomotive,
Railway Steel Spring. American In
ternatiOnul and Atlantic Gulf rose l
to . points. Central Leather, lnterna-
tional Paper, American Woolcn. Amer
lean Locomotive and Chandler also
were materially higher. United States
Realty was strongest of the spccialtles,
gaining "a points. -.
About 800, 900 shares changed hands
in the further rise Of the first Lour.
The pace slackened, however, and prices |
gave way irregularly to profit taking
before noon. Important rails and cop |
pers we're almost the only shares to lag, |
although Northern Pacific, Reading
first and second preferred and some of
the minor Western and Southern rails
were strong. Various inconspicuous
issues participated in the early rise,
notably Standard Milling preferred,
Union Bag and Columbia Gas. Heav-
mess was shown by Food Products, !
Products and National Coax |
and Suit preferred. the latter making
new low record.

evening, in which he said: "The World
War was very largely poison gas war,
and clearly demonstrated the fact that
future warfare will be chemical. Amer
lea has taken the lead In the chemical
industry since the war. That position
must be sustained, not only as a poten-
tial element of preparedness, but as
peace measure.

WIDER INQUIRY
IN LOCAL MARKET
Signs OF Partial Withdrawal OF
Restrictions Against Specu-
Latiue Activity

There was q modest but highly en-
couraging broadening OF the dealings
in the local market. This likewise was
accompanied by q general price better
ment. While the majority of the gains
were restricted TO fractions, here and
there through the list the advances ex-
tended TO a point and more.
The more gratifying side OF the days
operations was supplied in the respon-
siveness of the market as whole to
the constructive movement on the larger
board. Heretofore the more animated
swings on the New York market were
treated with entire Indifference. The
change of temper was considered sig
nificant in that it reflected partial
return of confidence, a condition which
for 80 long has been copspicuOusly lack
ins.
An underlying motive for the widen
ing Of interest in the local shares was
also to be found in almost near official
assurance of pronounced easement in
money market conditions within a short
time. 1t is an open secret intimations
have been given of q more lenient at
titude at an early date on the part
/ Of the loaning institutions toward stock
market accommodations. That Is to
say, there are indications, very clear
cut, that some Of the restrictions
| against speculative activities in so far
as banking connections are concerned
art at an early date to be partially
removed. This more generous atti-
tude on the part Of the loaning insti-
tutions unquestionably Is directly in
huenced by the rapid piling up Of loan
able funds in the local institutions.
In SO far as movements, American
! Stores remained the stellar attraction,
making another new top Mt 63, which
performance it has repeatedly daily for
some few days. Electric Storage Bat
terry also came back strong, selling uI
to 106, thereby making full recovery
Of the dividend taken of this week
There was also continued good buying
of PENNSYLVANIA Railroad by both the
smaller and larger investors, with that
stock making a new figure for the cur
rent movement at 3SSs.
In small way there was an appre-
ciable broadening Of dealings in thu
rest of the list. That is to say, there
we're a larger number of shares dealt II
than for some few weeks. With the ex
ception of U. G. l., which yielded tC
( 81. prices were steady, and in mos
cases fractionally higher. Brill, or

above the previous sale at 20. Tn,

confused. First prices, while officially

New Orleans and Southern offerings,
coupled with scattered liquidation, fur

South also was q buyer, good sized or
ders coming from the Eastern belt

Irregularity continued after the start
but the general trend OF the values was

teen minutes, prices showed net gains Of
