PROFIT TAKING IN EVIDENCE ON NEW
 YORK EXCHANGE
By Associated Press

New York, September S.-Exten- sive short coverings, coupled with a brisk investment demand. resulted In another substantial advance In prices in today's stock market. Profit talk ing was in evidence, but offerings were easily absorbed and caued lit- tie disturbance to the upward swing.
 Several new favorites were brought to tn efront, including United Cigar stores, which was pushed up 20 points; Tobacco Products preferred, which scared points on published reports of the benefits likely to ac- crue to holders from distribution of United Retail stock and a revival of rumors of a merger with Schulte Cigar stores, which enjoyed brisk advance in the curb market and Dela- ware and Hudson, which climbed Slz points net on the possibility of 8 segregation of its coal properties.
 Numerous other specialties, includ- ing American Sumatra Tobacco, Iron Products common and preferred, Lig- gett & Myers and United States to- baccos were bid up 3 to 15 points.
 New Developments
 New developments appeared to have little influence on the market but the virtual elimination of the threat OA h SNHCA eA Sliih0s iAliIbeasth fdi loadings and the return of more shop men to work all contributed to the optimism of the trading forces. Con tinuance of easy mnoey rates, how ever, Is regarded as the most potent factor in the present situation.
 Railroad stocks were laggardly but some substantial gains were re- corded, especially by the hard coal carriers.
 Equipments were the favorites in the industrial division, gains of one to nearly four points being recorded by some. Leather shares also dis played q buoyant tone.
 Mexican oils recovered from their recent heaviness, but did not pro- gress as much as the other standard industrials. Domestic oils, with the exception of Houston, which wns up nearly three points, also were slightly behind the rest of tho list
 Total sales were approximately 1,000,000 shares.
 Call money opened and held at 4 per cent. There was a fair demand for time money and commercial paper with no change in rates.
 Foreign exchanges were easy at the start on renewed offerings of grains and cotton bills for export, but they recovered most of their losses.

STRIKE SOUP KITCHENS.

There is no prouder class of men than the workers who do things with their hands. This pride is what makes the American workman the best on earth. He asks favors from no one; he does his work we'll and he is proud of it.
 Today the women, wives of striking railroad shopmen in the Bronx, New York, are making plans to open com dependents.
 One wonders how this news will impress striking shopmen all over the country. The women, the women whom men are supposed to support, are stirring themselves to help keep the strikers alive.
 No reflection is cast upon the wom- en who are doing this thing. They are loyal to their husbands, though perhaps their advice to them is un- wise and although their action may tend to encourage the men in the stand they are taking which is an un- wise stand under the present condi- tions. But the motives of the women are the motives which have inspired noble women always-to stand by their own.
 For the men, however, the situation is different. What will the great, strong, efficient American working man think about their action which has resulted in their women coming forward and trying to see to it that they, the great, strong American workingmen are fed?

NO HURRY.

The Republican move in the Senate Democrats aided by five Republicans. The democratic sentiment. and the feeling of those five Republicans, is that there is no hurry if the Repub- licans are going to rush through the cut and dried legislative program of extravaganza recently in evidence.
 Anyone who says that further de- liberation on the tariff bill is not needed anyone who claims that the present tariff measure is satisfactory and that the fullest light is not needed upon it is in error, if the popular opinions, of experts is worth anything.
 The debate on the motion to en- force cloture brought fiery words to the ears of the Senators. If those of the Republican party were not aware of the general dissatisfaction throughout the country over the ac- tions of the country's solons before this time, they had that dissatisfac- ton presented to them in startlingly brilliant and forceful manner.
 A tariff bill is wanted; but the needed act must be more satisfa ctory and open discussion of it is to be de- sired. The Democrats and the five Republicans are to be thanked for insisting upon it.

WHAT IS BUTTERMORTH?

Came there once war in which part, resulted then many cases of need because of the war on the part and chased the Hun while their elders chased the dollar in the homeland. Came there time for meeting of the State Legislature, the -givers of the stern and hidebound state. Eventually some individual being a part and parcel of the same body of law-givers proposed that fund be established from the resources of the state in order to aid the needy SOL diers. It was done mid small expres- sions of enthusiasm and large ref1ec- ton upon the political effect of the move.
 One Butterworth, man of political 70 independence, was nominated with the connivance of the powers that be to administer the fund and to dis tribute it among the needy, That is where the powers that be overlooked a little something which became ap- parent later, at least so it appears from the history of the case. Mir Butterworth administered and admin istered well-bht not with the atti- tude of granting a boon from the powers that be to the needy soldier Rather he gave when the case seemed to 50 merit. Casting about for a bit of the prestige that had been lost the powers that be noted that he was removing from the fund sufficient of moneys to defray distribution ex- pense. The situation was solved this should not be done, not by a darn sight. To the court certain indi- viduals went and demanded that no expense money should be taken from the fund-there were others (more closely connected with the powers that bel who would distribute the fund for nothing (but the political prestige to be gained) and they came forward nobly and with chests out (obtaining by the way the proper amount of publicity. Upon their heads sat the halo of the righteous and in their minds. we suspect, the votes were being counted. An in- function was sought and obtained asainst Butterworth and his receipt Of money for expenses.

LOCAL AID IN STRIKE.

Chief of Police Rawlings has been asked by the Sheriff of Hartford County, to detail New Britain super numerary policeman to serve at East Hartford during the present railroad trouble. The proper course has been taken Tn consulting the Corporation Counsel of the city on this matter.
 But quite aside from the legal aspect of the case the requested aid should not be given. Theoretically although there seems to be no danger practically, all our policemen might be needed in this city at such a time The situation justifes refusal of the request without running the risk of deserving criticism by the people of other communities.
 Legally there can be little question but that the city might be responsible to the men thus detailed for any damages they sustained because of this extra hazardous labor involved, to be performed outside the territory contemplated when those officers en- tered the service of the city. The legal theory of assumption of risk" would not apply, for no officer may be, said to have expected to perform strike duty in East Hartford when he took office. Of course the railroad might give bond to save the city harmless in case of any damage to it's employees, but the possibilities of litigation that might ensue initiate against the advisability of relying upon any such arrangement
 There is a human aspect to the matter The city does not care to men, if injured, might recover money damages. from the city or from the railroads if they gave the bond re- ferred to. But there are injuries for which no money payments can make up. No amount of cash would com pensate a mans family for his loss and the possibility of fatalities are present in this situation.
 Irrespective of the law in the mat ter, which alone should suggest the necessity for refusing the request, the city is justified in refusing to lend it's employees for this purpose outside the city of New Britain unless an emer- from sources other than the police, as we'll as from the police.

just what would happen to my busi- ness If stopped advertising. For while it would continue to coast on It's own momentum but eventually 1t would come to a dead halt and people would forget l had ever lived or made something that everyone wanted. Ad- yertising is the gas that put power in my business. If shut of the gas, goodbye business"
 Manufacturers and dealers should continue to advertise consistently to insure their business. If, through a weak policy of so-called retrenchment, they fail to keep their name, their merchandise. their service before the public, someone else with more eD ergy and initiative will slip in and usurp their seat in the front row of popularity.
 Husbands who are planning to buy real ivory toilet sets for friend wife's dressing table should step on the gas. According to reports from Congo dis trict, from which the worlds prin- cipal supply comes, genuine ivory will be exhausted within the next twenty or thirty years. So you see, men. you haven't much time left.
 The American consulate at Ant werp, the ivory market. has reported that there Is a steadily diminishing reserve which has almost reached the zero point A humorist might sug- gest that while the Senate is in exist ence there will always be plenty of ivory to be had for the taking. Never theless. the fact remains that the only real ivory to be secured in Antwerp at present is what is brought in on the bi-monthly steamer from the Con- go. In pre-war days the steamer brought in from fifteen to twenty tons every two weeks and there were usually stocks on hand amounting to 100 or 15o tons. This surplus has practically disappeared.
 It used to be the custom for ivory scouts to buy their supplies from Congo chiefs or dig them up in an elephant cemetery. Now the ceme- teries have become exhausted and the chiefs have little to sell. The only alternative is to hunt for live ele- plants. but the high cost of licenses and the fact that portion of all ivory secured must be turned over to the government takes the zest out of this kind of sport
 At the last sale in Antwerp about 65,o00 tons were sold. It is expected that in view of diminishing supplies. the price of ivory will increase.
