Wall Street

Gulf States Steel stock rose 45
points in Wall street. on the strength
of a rumor that Henry Ford was
about to buy into" the company.
This shows what Wall Street pri-
vately thinks OF Henry Ford as a
business man and manager, except
when trying to prove that Henry
doesn't know anything about rail-
roading except how to make profits
and reduce rates.
The stock broke, went down hill
fast, when Wall Street heard Ford's
denial that he was buying into the
company. II took this denial AZ
hours to reach the street, after Ford's
announcement Is the stock market
asleep or just winded.

"Oh, you'll like the place, but it's

well along in years and narrow. Why,
they hardly pass the time OF day
with each other. They've lived there
so long together that all sorts Of Ill
feelings and little feuds have germ
mated. And the very worst one OF
them all lived in the corner house

q perfect old terror"
"What did she do?" asked Nancy.
"Why, she didn't do anything. She
Just lived for herself--every curtain
down, that sort of thing. She never
went into a neighbor's house nor
made anybody welcome to her house.

Marcia laughed still more, while
Nancy stood by staring at the pair in
amazement. Il wanted you to see

shock was affecting her guest. IF

Mrs Jenkins.

who went right ON sleeping out OF
doors all winter, as comfortably
warm as If she l'c d been in bed in a
house that was well aired and
heated.
1t all began the year she spent in
the sanitarium beside the big lake,
high up among the mountains. At
that time the little woman had a sus-
piclous cough and rapid pulse, and
a way Of feeling weak all over" not

electric shock are similar to those of
suffocation.
1t is often a problem OF some diff
ficulty to rescue a person who has
come in contact with high current.
In some cases the current can be
shut off. and this should be done as
speedily as possible.
Otherwise your plan is either to
separate current from man or man
from current.
A person in contact with live
wire or rail carrying an electric cur
rent will transfer the current TO the
rescuer If the latter puts himself In
the line Of passage.
Therefore, the rescuer must not
touch the body of a person touching
a live wire unless his own body is In
sulated
He must act very promptly for the

About $4,000 women are employed
by the railroads.
To realize how times have changed
and how women have invaded busi-
ness, go back in memory 80 years and
try to picture a woman on a railroad
payroll. They were mighty few, If
at all.
The influx OF women into business
in one generation has been a greater
change than in any previous civili-
cation. In the long run 1t will have
many times greater effect on Ameri-

the current is allowed to pass
through the victims body.
If possible, the rescuer should in
sulate himself by covering his hands
with a rubber coat, rubber sheeting
or even several thicknesses of dry
cloth. Silk is a good non-conductor.
In addition, he should complete his
insulation by standing on dry
board, thick piece of dry paper or
even a dry coat.
Rescuing calls upon all the inge-
nuity of the rescuer. Some cases of
electric shock from powerful cur

JOY.
Yet the saddest thing OF all is the
one who has lost all belief. There
must be good incredulity, or rather
i'm it's elder sister, faith. Credulity
is the venture, faith the conclusion
from stated facts. Faith reasons,
credulity blindly accepts. Faith rests
on what has gone before, credulity
fails to take it into consideration but
rides blindly for a fall.
No relation In life could exist with
out faith. Personal ties, business re-
