LOCAL MARKET WAS
STRONG IN SPOTS
Operations In American Stores
Continued Mystifying-Ac-
tive Buying Of P. r. T.

American Stores continued to hold the
center of the stage In the local market.
Renewed active competitive bidding de-
veloped at the outset, which quickly
carried the quotation to 1851, equal 70
the high figure reached yesterday. AZ
that point the supply was found to be
more liberal, which made the operations
of the two preceding days more mysti-
fyine because It had been generally as
sumed the floating supply was pretty
well cleaned up. The stock, however,
was freely supplied at the top notch
and continued to be until the price had
dropped to 150k or 8 points under the
high peak. At this level there appeared
to be fresh support which quickly
advanced the quotation point. but IN
the afternoon renewed selling appeared,
causing a fresh reaction to 14GH. Den
mite news or developments were again
conspicuously lacking.
There was a decided broadening OF the
dealings in the general list. with in
tions of Pennsylvania Railroad. lhila-
dclphia Electric and +. X. r. The de-
mand for PENNSYLVANIA Railroad was
particularly good and carried the
stock to Al. Further buying of =.
Il. r. also advanced the quotation -
to 80. Approximately 1000 shares
changed hands during the morning;
during which period the active demand
for the stock prevailed Union Traction
followed, rising to 40.
There appears to have been a belated
appreciation Of the significance OF the
withdrawal from the market OF the
large block of stock now held by the
employees. Both philadelphia F.ler:ric
common and preferred sold higher; as
did L. G. l.. the last named reaching
52A, with a good market for the pre-
ferred at 55.
As is usually the case with narrowing
of the trading, the market was found
thin for most of the inactive issues;
American Gas, on odd lots, advanced
point to 60. On the other hand,
American Railways eased off a point to
SO, and Brill showed loss of point
at Al. only later to jump 6 points to
Al. West Jersey and ScashoIre was
also fructionally lower at IS. but the
buying, according to the board reports,
was much better than the selling. Un,..
less al! signs fail. the stock gives all
earmarks Of n preparatory campaign for
| higher prices.

CURB SHARES SHOW
INCLINATION TO LAG
Declines Mark Dealings in
Motor Issues-Lessened
Demand for Oils

New York. Aug. 0.--Although there
was a general heaviness on the cnrb
today prices were fairly well main
tained. There were some sales OF mo-
tor stocks and those issues reflected the
influence of the recessions in the motor
industry, but declines were generally
small and some stocks were well main
tained at around previously prevailing
figures. ,o
Stutz Motors ranged from 1Sfa to 10,
and Durant Motors was traded IN at
39h to 80. Moon Motors was steady,
with sales at 10h to 1Oh.. Good
rich Tire, however. was without an
early demand and reflected the influence
of the reduction in price OF products
with a decline to 'SA.
Mesabi Iron, In which trading start.
ed yesterday, was quiet. small amount
of business being transacted In the
forenoon at 1875. Small sales OF Swift
& Co. were made at 104. Tobacco
Products Exports was steady, selling
at 8H. Gimbel Brothers common sold
at 45 and the preferred at 1O2.
There was decreased demand for
oil stocks, although Standard Oil OF
Indiana was traded in on larger scale
than in the last few days, business BE-
ing brought into that stock on decline
from 1OSA to 10S. Imperial Oil OF
Canada sold at 100 and Standard Oil OF
Kentucky was traded in at 05E.

FIND PLEASURE IN PAINTING
Almost Every One Has at Some Time
Of Life Been Fond Of Handling
Bright Colors.

Nearly everybody likes to paint. We
like to feel the paint flow from the
brush and to see the dull, dirty sur
face we are painting covered with Il
smooth, brightly colored coating, which
not only lends beauty to 1t, but pro-
tects it as well against the destructive
influences of the weather and the cor
rosiye gases in the air. 1t may be that
the almost universal pleasure found in
painting Is an inherent trait, commu-
nicated to us through the centuries by
our savage forefathers, who mixed pig
ment with fat or grease and smeared
their bodies and faces with 1t. Paint
is no modern invention; even white
lead is Of ancient origin, declares n
New York Sun writer. The story Is
told of the wife Of the famous Greek
general Xenophon, Who had the habit
of smearing' white lead on her face
and wearing high heels until her hus-
band told her he thought her pretty
enough as she was without the appli-
cation Of artificial aids TO beauty.
There is a reference traced back as
far as the Seventh century A. d., which
is the first recorded instance of the use
Of paint to cover a wooden carriage,
very much in the manner prevalent to-
day. There are earlier historical men
tons of the use Of paint, but these
refer more to sizes, such as glue, and
special paints such as those made with
wax and used by the Romans in admix-
ture with glue to paint their ships OF
war. The Egyptians used glue sizes
and yarnlshes. The mummy cases in
museums indicate that clearly and
probably form the earliest examples Of
vanished articles in existence.

USED "DoG-OIL" AS MEDICINE
Fearful and Wonderful Combination
Recommended for the Treatment
of Gunshot Wounds.

The great surgeon, AMBROSE Pare,
wrote the following about the year
1910:
"When was at Turin l found a sur
geon famed above all the rest for his
treatment Of gunshot wounds, into
whose favor / found a way to insin-
uate myself, that l might have the
recipe of his balm as he called It,
wherewith he dressed these wounds.
And he made me pay my court to him
for two years, before l could possibly
get the recipe out OF him. In the end,
thanks to my gifts and presents, he
gave 1t to me, which was this, TO boil
down, In oil Of lilies, young whelps
just born, and earthworms prepared
with Venice turpentine. Then was |
joyful and my heart made glad, that
/ had learned his remedy"
And the London Pharmacopoeia for
the year 1859 contained recipe for
dog oil. with the following lngredi-
ents: "Sallet oyl, two PIGGY dogs
newly whelped, earthworms washed in
white Wine and cypress turpentne
and spirit of wine."-Exchange

New Enaland,s nHobbIebush.n

One of the oddest-mannered trees to
be found In the New England country
side is the wayfaring tree, or hobble-
bush. The name is especially appli-
cable, for the tree spreads out branch
till II touches the ground, then takes
root right from the branch, The bios
sons of the hobblebush are most effec-
tive, scores of flower wheels growing
in plats, giving stunning masses Of
ivory white to the spring landscape,
almost as soon as the snow has melted
The leaves themselves are brilliant
green, and are very large. In autumn
they turn gorgeous garnet red, while
where the lovely spring blossoms were
appear clusters Of apple-shaped berries
blackish crimson In hue So you see
the hobblebush, despite its queer name
and strange habits, is really very beau
tlful almost the whole year round

Proceedings AGAINST Beetles.

The Memories de Ia Societe Royal
AcademiQue de Sayole" give a curious
account Of proceedings. taken against
beetles in 1445 and 1887. They had
committed great ravages in the st.
Julian vineyards. Having listened to
counsel on either side, the Judge sug-
gested that the vinegrowers should
cede to the defendants land where
they could live without trespassing on
the vineyards; otherwise he ordered
that the vineyards should be respected
by the beetles under certain penalties
The beetles lawyer protested that the
land was barren, and the court ap-
pointed assessors to survey it. They
reported favorably, but the beetles
raised legal bubble and so 1t went
on. but what the upshot was is not
known owing to the destruction Of the
document
