TRADING ACTIVE
 IN STOCKS WITH PRICES IRREGULAR
Rails Were in Better Demand Than at Any Time Since Question of Lower Rates
 Became DebatabIe
By Associated Press

New York, May 4.-Trading in stocks today was very active at ir- regular price changes. Dealings were more comprehensive, although oils and petroieums again bulked large in the operations of pools. Incident ally, the day marked the twenty-flfth consecutive full session in which transactions ran over the million share line.
 The money market and general in dustrial conditions were helpful fac tors in the main. Call loans eased with tho progress of the session. opening at 4A per cent. but dropping to per cent at midday. In private offerings loans on demand were made as low as sA per cent.
 Technical conditions seemed to prompt an extension of the profit taking movement. but 1t was not un- til the final hour that the selling assumed formidable dimensions. Re actions of l to 3 points then occur red on offerings of steels. motors, equipments and some of the oils.
 Pressure was most clearly reflect cd in Republic Iron, Studebaker. Bald win. Mexican Petroleum. Texas com pany and Standard OH of California. tncSe cloblnB ht net losses or large fractions to 2h points.
 On the other hand. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which featured the days lively trading in local fractions. fin ished at a net gain of 3% points and Kelly Springfield, Standard Oil of N. J., and Houston Oil were materially higher.
 Rails were in better demand than at any time since the question of lower freight rates became debat- able question, their absorption being attended by more favorable state ments of earnings. In that group. however, gains wore more or less im- paired by the late reaction.
 Passing of the so-called "crisis' at Genoa was followed by yet another advance In sterling exchange and pronounced recoveries throughout the continental list. Swiss francs were the only exception. easing points to below par for the first time In sev- eral months. South American rates made no response to the successful Nffertpg of the Brazilian COffeA loan.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York. May 4.-(Special.) )-Con- tinued rains last night over the east ern belt brought further advance after the opening this morning, which was checked by heavy realizing pros poets of clearing weather In Texas. The market. however. has shown good undertone reflecting the better spot demand throughout the south and the decidedly better basis.
 Exports for the week are 116.0o so far, showing that Europe is again drawing cotton from the surplus. The present strength lies in the inn proved basis for spot cotton. The question is, will the better weather more than offset the stronger basis in the south?" Except for q tempo rary reaction, we feel that this im- proved spot demand will sustain values-Hubbard Bros. & Go.

TRY AT. LEAST SEVEN TIMES.

For several years Robert Bruce, the
hero King of Scotland, was an outlaw,
with but few followers. He even had
to leave his beloved Scotland at one
time and hide himself on small is
land off the coast Of Ireland.
He had only wretched hut to live
in, although he was king, but he was
as patient as he was brave and was
willing to suffer many hardships il he
could only free his native land
While. lying on his bed one day, he
noticed a spider spinning its web.
Time after time it failed to run one of
it's slender threads from one beam to
another Six times it tried, and as
many times it failed. This was just
the number. of battles in which Bruce
had been defeated by the English
IF the spider tries again" he said
TO himself, sitting up on his bed and
watching the determined little insect
intently, "if the spider tries again. SC
will FL Once more the spider tried
end this time with success. Bruce
jumped up from his bed. and in few
days was back in Scotland.
1t was indeed a happy omen, foi
from that time the tide turned in his
favor and gradually he won back all
that he had lost.

TEN WAYS TO HELP MOTHER.

l. Keep the caps and hats hung
up where they belong-no matter
whose cap, or. where you find it. Just
put it where you know it ought to
be.
2. Keep the papers folded right
side out and piled nicely on the Ii
brary table. It takes mother a good
many minutes a day to do just that.
8. Get into the habit Of remem-
bering where you see things. This will
help not only mother, but everybody
in the house.. 1t is such comfort
to the people who lose things or for
get where they put them
4. See how. many times a day you
can save steps" for her by running
|errands. 1t is what little feet were
made for, partly.
5. Laugh twenty times every day.
4 1t will help make others laugh.
s. Like things she does for you.
Tell her how nice they are. -
=. Whisper in her ear sometimes.
Whisper this, Il love you'll
4 S. Watch for chances to do things
she has spoken about. Don't wait
for her to ask you. It is such fun to
surprise people!
2. Notice when she is sick or tired

fluent, the prosperous, did mend her

Nell thought, wonderingly. But she

she was cycling with anxious doubt as

would enjoy discarding her own
clothes at the first sign of wear. if
she possessed such fat income!
Why, really, it seemed almost small,
almost ,stingy in Leah! But no, Nell
could not be so unjust even in her
own secret thoughts. Leah and sting
mess were two entirely ineompati-
bic terms! Leah was the soul of gen.
erosity! She had proved it time and
again in even this short visit-as she
had done in former years when half
the continent stretched between the
cousins and letters and packages had
had to take the place of face-to-face
intercourse.
Have you good shoe shop here? p
Leah inquired later that same morn

WHY ARE BIRDS EGGS OF DIFF.
FERENT CoLoR?.


This is a wise provision of nature
to help the mother birds hide her
eggs away from the eyes of her en-
emies. In the animal kingdom every
kind of life is the natural prey Of
some other kind of animal A bird
will have enemies which try to catch
her as food. A bird cannot fight back,
SO must fly away when danger threat
ems, in order to save her life. This
means that she must leave the eggs
in the nest for the time being. At
certain times she must also leave her
nest and search for. food for herself.
In order that the eggs so left alone
may have better chance Of not being
discovered, nature has arranged mat
tiers SO that the eggs take the color
very much of the surroundings in
which they are laid. Eggs of some
birds are spotted or look like pebbles,
because the mother bird lays them in
the sand. Some of them are green,
almost the color of the materials from
which the bird builds the nest, and SO
the colors have a real, and to the
birds, valuable purpose.
