CURB LIST QUIET,
GENERALLY EASIER

BY Special Leased Wire to The Star
NEW YORK, June 6.-Price changes
on the curb exchange today were
again extremely irregular. Some
stocks showed strength at the same
time that others were falling back.
The general tendency among the
commission houses was to take
profits on recent purchases and this
sort of selling naturally bore hard
est upon stocks which in the market
of the last week or so have had the
largest rise.
Oil shares felt the effect of realiz-
ing sales more than any other group.
Such stocks as Standard of Indiana
and Standard of Kentucky, which
were last months favorites in the oil
speculation, showed most sensitive
ness to the selling movement. Ryan

Mexican Seaboa resisted the sell

ration of the regular monthly divi-
dend and the announcement that an
additional s1.000.Ooo bonds had been
retired. But later on the stock went
down with the majority of the other
members of it's group.

Though we In this part OF the country are less
directly concerned than those elsewhere we too may
look with alarm what promises to be the greatest
labor upheayal in the history Of this country the
threatened coal strike for which the stage is set
AT the end Of March the wage agreements Of the an
thracte and btuminous miners expire
The coal operators threaten to reduce wages on
the expiration Of the agreements and the coal miners
are countering with the threat Of a country wide
strike and arrangements are being made with the
railway unions for combination which will entirely
tip up the traffic of the country. The American
FEDERATION of Labor has announced its stand back OF
ary attempt to combine among workers to combat
possible wage reductions" Neither party appears to
BE- caring continental what the effect Of their fight
may be upon the public.
The strike, if it at ALL will come at a time
Of the when it will the least suffering
among the people. And in the end out of the travail
into which the industry and commerce of the coun-
try would be thrown by prolonged strike some good
might come from the stimulation or the country TO
measures which would make the production of coal
less necessary. The identification of railways and
manufacturing plants is proceeding rapidly Only the
surface of the resources electrical energy has been
touched
1t is not possible Of course to produce within
many years if ever, sufficient electrical force to
meet all the to which coal is now put but 1t is
easily possible to diminish the uses of coal that
they could be met without difficulty And the time
isl surely coming when this country must get along
without coal.

local jury has decided that the sidewalk be-
longs to. is in fact part Of the abuttng property
the owner of which do with it pretty much as
he pleases. 1t is true that city lot originally ran
from the line OF the street to the alley say 1874
feet for most Of the lots in Phoenix. Bnt an owner
cannot always do what he pleases with his lot even
inside the sidewalk line which may be marked bv
fence. He may not do within the lot anything that
Is dangerous or seriously offensive to the public.
Now whether not the adjoining property owner
owns the sidewalk, he not control traffic on it;
he cannot prevent the public from walking on it or
from deriving much enjoyment from it as it can.
He cannot obsruct it with boxes or other obstacles
which compel the public to take to the street If the
Phoenix owner do that he can do something
The question in this was whether the owner
OF the abutting property could extend sign across
the sidewalk. Everywhere the municipality is sup
posed to have to regulate street signs awning
or any construction projecting over sidewalks pr-
marily for safety and next for comfort and con-
venience Of the public so that they will not obstruct
traffic or the view mar the appearance of the
street.
This power has been exercised in Phoenix very
moderately and generally only with regard to the
safety OF the public
We should like to hear further from the supreme
court on this subject

Disconnected Thinkino

We would all get along better if we all knew how
to think propery-and that is the rarest OF accom-
piishments. Not long ago the City of Chicago began
movement to reduce street railway fares from
cents to cents and the matter went into the
federal court which later held that in the circum-
stances scent fare would be confiscatory.
The principal argument OF the city rested on
very elaborate showing that there had been sharp
decrease in the prices of food dry goods where
upon of the federal judges remarked that street
railways could not be food and dry goods
unless these reductions were reflected in wage re-
ductions But that subject had not been brought
into the discussion. Essential it is in street rail-
way operation it had been entirely ignored
The only theory which a reduction of prices
In these commodities could have been allowed to fig
ure would have been that since the stockholders could
now buy more dry goods groceries for the money
they could stand smaller income.
Now showing OF a reduction in the prices Of
shoes might have been considered very seri-
ously, as having bearing on the fare contro-
versy but it would have been rather an argument in
favor Of higher than of lower fares for 1t then
might appear that since shoes were cheaper there
would be more walking and lessened volume of
traffic for the railways.

United States ls Stage for Prodioies
The United States has provided the
exhibition stage for a large num-
ber of child prodigies in the past
two years. In fact, almost every Eu-
ropean nation and several South
American republics seemed to have
two or three ready for us as soon
as the war was over. We have mar
veled at the ability OF the little chess
wizard, Samuel Rzeshewski; of the
little girl Pamela Bianco; of the
young girl diaryist introduced by
Herr Freud, and of a long list Of
youthful musical artists. And re-
Gently we have been asked to admire
our own American prodigies in
groups-so fast are they developing
Last year little Miss Bianco held an
art exhibition of her own which was
well praised by astonished art critics,
but, 10! this year a whole group Of
New York children are exhibiting
work just as good.
AS the prejudice against permitting
children to assert themselves dies out,
we seem to be developing greater and
greater number OF super-norm chill
dren. If the Increase continues and IL
the day ever comes when the public
schools adopt special measures for
developing individual talent, genius
may possibly become common among
our population.

Even Shakespeare, who died at the

There are and always have been
certain wonder children" Prof. Ed
ward L. Thorndike of Teachers col

"and they have turned out to be
great men and women later. 1t is
evident that child geniuses may be
divided into two classes-those who
are creative and inventive and those
who have exceptional memories and
absorbing powers.
"The child of creative ability is the
H..
children who have exceptional MEM

of these children have greater ca
pacity than others, the faculty is not
indicative of as high development as
the creative or inventive gift"

NEW YORK CITY--What becomes
Of child prodigies after they grow up ?
Do they go right on being progidies,
or do they lose their pristine pre-
cocity?
The answer to this question, re-
Gently given by several prominent
New York educators and psycholo-
gists, is that child geniuses invar-
iably turn out we'll. They not only
develop into adults Of unusual intel
ligence and energy. but they often
exhibit rare creative ability as well.
In the old days when children were
supposed to be seen and not heard,
there existed a general prejudice
against encouraging youthful mani
festatiors of genius. The juvenile
brain was regarded as something very
frail and unstable and very likely to
collapse under unusual strain or
pressure. The child who showed su-
perior talent in the classroom was
looked upon in the community as one
unquestionably headed for an insane
asylum or a life of crime. and his
Parents were more often the objects
OF neighborly compassion than con-
graduation.
This attitude probably originated
in jealousy on the part Of parents
whose own offspring exhibited no un-
due indications of brightness. and
from what we know of the power of
suggestion today, it may have had its
own harmful effects But it was,
modern scientists tell us, altogether
without foundation. For research has
revealed the fact that there is not
only less insanity among geniuses
than among the common lot OF peo-
pie, but that they are usually excep-
tionally healthy folk as well.
Innumerable examples could be
quoted in proof of this, but few con-
spicuous ones recently set forth by
Professor Rudolph M. Binder, of New
York University. will suffice.

means that he was a member of what
we in modern terms would designate

Isaac Newton lived to be S5 and was
