LOCAL TRADING
AGAIN CURTA|lED
p. r. T. Valuation Hearings
= Postponed by Public Service
Commission Until Fall

Postponement until September Of
hearings in the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company valuation case granted
| by the Public Service Commission sup
piled about the only interesting devel-
| opment in the local market. Apparently
no decision on the valuation or fare
| question will be given until after the
new year, which insures the company
obtaining the seven. cent fare for the
| remaining six months OF the current
calendar year. II 1t does nothing else.
| IL surely makes the dividend safe Tor
that period anyhow. =,
Generous as the decision was 1t had
no effect whatever on the stock which
remained waterlogged at 33. Opinion
prevailed in some quarters that the in
action of the stock since the declaration
of the dividend was due largely to the
uncertainty attending the valuation
question. This excuse no longer holds
water, ns the postponemcnt virtually
gives six months leeway to play the
market game. The perfunctory char
actcr Of the days dealings. however.
could hardly be accepted as criterion of
sentiment.
Dealings in the general list were on
an equal diminutive scale. The local
trading contingent evidently were un-

which was not altogether surprising in
view Of the semi -comatOse condition Of
the other markets. Most of the trans
actions comprised small odd lots and
only in very few was respectable
total made up.
Pennsylvania Railroad retained the
center Of the stage, displaying the same
noteworthy frmncss as in the immedi-
ate preceding sessions as result of the
agreement reached with the employees on
the wage and other questions in dispute.
The further demand carried the stock
up TO 42al which is within ~ Of the
years top price.
In the general list about the only
important change was the " point de-
cline in American Railways to liz.
This apparently was the result Of the
narrowness of the market. rs the Of
fcrings were comparatively light.
United Gas on light turnover advanced
70 to 61H and the preferred continued
to bring 53h. American Stores ran
up y points on small odd lot trans
action. Philadelphia Electric issues re-
mained firm and unchanged.

SPLENDID FOR THE GARDEN
Will Well Repay Time and
Trouble Bestowed on II.

No more gorgeous bed for August
and September and until the hard
frost comes in October can be planted
than one of the Painted Tongue, Sal
pfglossis, the flower with the veins of
gold. This annual is one of the most
beautiful of the summer flowers and
Is not often met with, although florists
are using it very largely for cut flow
ers the last two years; it's gorgeous,
purple, maroon, scarlet, rose and
bronze shades, all with veins showing
a CLINT Of gold, a metallic simmer
found in no other flower, making a
brilliant display when cut.
The improved forms show great
Increase in size over the older forms
and resemble the finer petunias in
general, appearance, although the
blooms are more trumpet shaped than
those Of the petunia. The Painted
Tongue Is a native Of Chilli.
One reason for the rare appearance
of the Painted Tongue in the garden
Is that mary people have tried to grow
1t and have had difficulty. 1t should
not be coddled. Planted indoors to
get an early start, they have disap-
pointing habit Of dying off inexplica-

ing Bill Back To House For
Further Conference.

Washington. - President Harding's
signature is all that is required for
authorizing the appropriation of ST.
100000 for new work on the Muscle
Shoals, Ala. The army bill containing
authority of congress to spend the
money on that project, effective Octo-
Der l, next, was passed by the senate
without change in the language al
ready approved by the house and by
conferees of the two legislative bodies.
During the final consideration, how.
ever, the measure at certain stages
was threatened with being sent back
to the house for further conference,
Senator Norris, Of Nebraska, chairman
of the agriculture committee, moving
that the senate disagree with the
house provision delaying expenditure
Of the money until October. He was
finally overruled by the senate on vote
Of 2S to 80.
The Nebraska senator led the attack
on the house amendment, and was
Joined by Senator Wadsworth of New
York, chairman of the military COM
mittee in charge of the bill, and by
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
democratic leader, in declaring the
house action unfortunate" The lat
ter two senators, however, differed
with Senator Norris on his motion to
disagree, declaring that if it prevailed
the bill would be returned to the house
and the appropriation probably would
be jeopardized in that procedure
Others, including Senators Heflin,
democrat, Alabama, and Smith, demo
crat, South Carolina, supported Sena-
tor Underwood in requesting concur
renee in the house amendment in or
der to make the appropriation certain.
Senator Underwood recalled past Oc-
currences where differences between
the senate and house had resulted dis
astrously to Muscle Shoals appropria-
tions. and reminded his colleagues that
the army bill had to be on the statute
books by July l, and that they had no
time to lose in adjusting differences in
language, however unfortunate they
might appear to the senate.
The first executive meeting of the
agriculture committee since it conclud-
ed its examination Of proposals from
Henry Ford, the Alabama Power Com
pany, Frederick Engstrum and Charles
L. Parsons for developing the Shoals
properties also was held. Senator Nor
ris was understood to have informed
the committee that he would submit
his minority report to the senate, al
though he~w alone among the Is
members with reference to the offers
considered.

bly, after they are transplanted into
their BEDS leaving blank spots and
running the appearance. Too much
coddling Is the trouble. They should
be raised outdoors. 1t Is best to wait
until May and plant them in the. open,
The seed is fine and terminates quick
ly and should be scattered thinly
where the plants are to stand and
thinned to 10 inches apart. A pinch
of seed scattered at 14-inch intervals
would solve the problem, thinning to
the healthiest plants in the colony.
They can be transplanted successfully
If moved with good ball of dirt SO
the roots are not disturbed too much
Their growth is surprisingly slow at
the start and they seem to have de-
cided to stand still. 1t may take
them a month or more to reach a
height of three inches, but after that
they start sprint if the weather is
height of from 2 feet to 80 inches.
They need a rich soil and it is well
to allow two or three plants to stand
in each little colony to select the
sturdiest as even with this care some
of them are likely to give up the
ghost They resent any check in
growth which is one reason why they
stand transplanting badly. Give them
liberal cultivation and plenty of wa
ter and you will have wonderful

The Orderly Country Town.

The ordinary country town can not
expect to present fine appearance as
the result of having many costly edi-
fees. 1t may have some handsome
buildings, but it usually cannot invest
any great amount in expensive archi-
lecture and building materials. 1t has
to acquire a pleasing appearance in
other ways largely by scrupulous
care of it's business buildings, homes
and streets, with the patient effort to
beautify the same.
Property that is kept in perfect re-
pair has a finish and trimness about
It that counts more than costly archi-
lecture. You see many towns where
a great deal has been spent on ornate
and elaborate buildings, but where
the streets are not kept clean, and
where many people still tolerate dis
orderly conditions. A place like that
looks far inferior to many simply
built country towns which are care
fully ntained.-Louisville (Texas)

Matter of Joint Conference of Opera,

Definite Plans.

Washington, D. C.-Adpinistration
efforts to bring about settlement
of the bituminous coal strike have
met q preliminary check.
| After conferences with President
Harding and Secretary of Labor Da-
Wis, John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America an
nounced that the union policy still
was unaltereG and unyielding in it's
inisistence that new wage scale
must be set up for the strike ridden
mining districts by national or semi
national conferences with operators.
The meeting between Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis, which
took place at the White House, was
the last of series of conferences in
to which Secretary of Labor Davis
took Mr.. Lewis.
Officially no statement was forth
coming, though Secretary Hoover al
so was called to the White House i'm
mediately after Mr.. Lewis left. Ap-
parently no spokesmen for the mine
operators, whose refusal before last
April to meet in the semi-national
wage scale negotiations of the CEN
trail competitive field was the con-
troversial point in the strike, were
in the capitol for discussion.
eve talked over the general prob
lens of the bituminous inquiry and
the strike" Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House, "its over
development and intermittency, and
projects for its stabilzation.
with relation to the present strike
we considered the matter of a joint
conference OF operators and miners,
the merits of proposals to
hold district joint conferences between
operators and miners for wage settle
ments. as compared with a joint con-
ference in the central competitive
field or a national conference Of all
fields, through representatives. No
definite plans affecting the strike |
were decided upon. The strike sit
uation is unchanged.
81 explained to the president the |
utility OF attempting settlements in |
individual mining districts. There |
are no groups of operators willing to |
hazard their competitive relationship |
with other producing sections by fix
ng a wage scale until they know
what their competitors are going to |
Jay. The country will be facing q
serious shortage of coal within a few
weeks and if the strike continues the

enough to take care OF industries and
