STOCK MARKET COMES BACK AND ] REGAINS LOSSES
By Associated press

q New York, August 15.-A moderate advance in prices took place in to- days stock market, most of yester- day's losses being wiped out in short covering operations combined with some buying from western points.
 Industrial issues were strengthened by the breaking up of the soft coal strike and the outlook for peace in the anthracite fields. Rail shares showed early firmness but the an nouncement that President Harding was to go before Congress on the rail situation caused some irregular ity.
 Steel shares showed considerable improvement, United States Steel common was up a point, Lacka- wanna rose 1M, Republic 2h and ether independent shares in sym pathy. Crucible scored 2% on re- ports that dividends would be TO- sumed shortly.
 Union Pacific which was up nearly 2 points to new high for the year. featured the carriers, other strong spots included Chesapeake and Ohio. Norfolk and Western and New Or leans, Texas and Mexico, all of which advanced 1 to 9 points.
 Several more new highs were recorded during the days trading, notably by Famous Players, Interna- tional Paper, Pittsburg Coal and United States realty. Mexican Petvo- leum moved within comparatively narrow limits today, closing at a net gain of 1ss. Total sales were 55o,- 900 shares.
 The call money market was easy. opening and renewing at 8 # per cent and then declining at per cent. where 1t closed. Time money rates were virtually unchanged.
 Reports of heavy selling in Euro pean centers caused a reactionary trend to the early dealings in for eign exchange.
 German marks were down to 10 for a cent, an extreme low record. following the announcement of the German cabinet that 1t could not pass more than s2,500,000 of the $1c,- 100000 demanded by France this month as payments on account of debts to allied nationals.

Chicago. August 15.-The general tone of-athe butter market today was steady fosfirm with stocks just about sufficient to- supply the demand without leaving any appfeciable surplus. Fancy butter was actually scarce with buyers in certain casos forced to pay a premium.

WASHINGTON ON PREPARED.
NESS

Those who wish America to keep
her nose away from Europes door
jamb are fond of quoting from
George Washington and do SO quite
effectively He was an unusually
wise and level headed gentleman of
his day and he knew something about
conditions in the old world. He like
wise had long and bitter experience
with unpreparedness with those who
wanted England whipped without
raising the money and the men re-
quired to do it. He endured with
wonderful patience the fault finding
Of an incompetent congress, given to
oratory, jealousies and petty ambi-
tions.
He complained rarely but here is
what he wrote early in 1880 to Ell
bridge Gerry:
There is nothing so likely to pro-
duce peace, as to be we'll prepared to
meet the enemy, and from this per-
suasion, and the effect you justly OBJ
serve the contrary on our part might
have on the court of France and also
on that of Spain, l think it would
be right for us to hold forth at least,
every appearance of preparation and
vigor, and really to do what our
abilities. and the circumstances of our
finance may we'll justify"
Respectfully referred to those who
are unwilling to provide for an army
big enough to do even police duty
here at home.

PUBLICITY FOR MAINE

There comes to the Journal by way
of two recent visitors from Maryland
who insisted while in Maine on visit
ing the State capital, phase of pub
iicity, which should not be permitted
to bear the Maine brand.
Possibly the Maine Publicity Blu
reau may aid in correcting when the
facts are laid before it. These are
the following: The Maryland gentle
men stayed while in Portland a, the
Congress Square Hotel Of the clerk
there they say they made inquiries
respecting the best road to take to
Augusta. They state that he strong
~ advised them not to make the trip
on account of poor roads. Discour-
aging as was the description, which
they say he gave, they insisted, so he
finally advised them to go by way of
Bath and Wiscasset, which they did,
and on arriving at Gardiner pro-
ceeded to Augusta over the only poor
stretch OF road between Augusta and
Portland on the direct route.
Needless to add they were better
advised about the route to take on
their return to Portland
Now if Portland is to function as
home of the State Pier and as head
quarters for the dissemination of
wisdom as we'll as distribution of
merchandise it may not be imperti-
nent-under all the circumstances
IL we suggest that she establish a
publicity preparatory school for hotel
clerks. possibly under the supervision
OF the Maine Publicity Bureau.

WOMEN AND MEDICINE

In Europe. years ago, a woman
named Hildegarde wrote a notable
book on medicinal plants. H. those
days the men were too busy bother
ing about dogmas Of religion and
medicine, and the study of herbs was
thought beneath their notice.
1t was the women, however. who
mostly conducted the hospitals and
cared for the sick, and thus they
learned much of great value. They
let the men fight out the questions of
theories.
