 Conflicting influences were at work in many quarters of the market. Mex ietn bonds eased somewhat on reports Of military uprisings against the Oregon government, although there was intermittent buying due to he operation of the Lamont de Ia Huerta debt agreement plan and assurances from Mexico that the full amount re- quired for the initial service on the bonds would be paid before the end of the year.
 Railroad mortgages held the center of the stage during the early part of the week, being bought freely on continued reports of good earnings. Later there was considerable SelllnS, and numerous issues lost previous gains when unfavorable dividend ac- tion was taken by two western car riers.
 The most notable movement in the rail group was that of the Denver and Rid eGrande issues late in the week, various issues moving upward sharply when approval was given by the Interstate commerce commission to the plan of reorganization of the company.
 The second industrial liens were more than usually active, the price movements coinciding to large eX- tent with stock movements.
 Bankers state there will be little new financing until after the first of the year.

The Woman Who Must Choose A Profession At Thirty three-The Man She Loves Regards Her As A Little Sister-Is The Man With Past Ever A Desirable Illus band?

yourself, as old-fashioned Methodists used to say, in an attitude to receive the blessing, if his feelings toward you change.
 It Is a most dishonorsble thing for woman to marry one man while she loves another. It isn't playing the game fairly with him because you are taking his all, and giving him nothing in return. And you will be- utterly miserable, because the more you realize that you ought not to love the. other man, the more of a romantic halo you will cast about him, and the more you will desire him.
 Take my advice. and just wait. Time will either give you the man you love, or else it will cure you of your infatuation for him, and then when you marry you can give your hand and heart together.
 Dear Miss Dix: I am a girl 22 years old. and I am in love with man 10 years my senior. He wants to marry me, but he is man with a dark and wicked past. Is such a man desirable husband?
 DOUBTFUL.
 Answer: No. Why take damaged goods when there Nis so much of the clean article to be had? Believe me. my dear, none of us leave our pasts behind us. They always lap over, and lay mortgage on. our futures. We cannot wipe out the sum of our sins, And start a fresh account with life. They are written in indelible ink on our souls and our bodies.
 Be sure of this, that every woman who marries man who has sowed, 9 wildcat crop has to help him har4 vest it, and she does it in tears and sorrow. Sometimes she does it in her own broken health. Sometimes in nursing man who is paying for

CHAPTER
 Marian's statement that George Dixon was 'an awful liar" produced a decided effect upon her hearers.
 James Horton drew his heavy brows together in a frown. Lois wid- ened her eyes in shocked surprise George Dixon laughed. The Rever- end Harold Sumner started slightly then tri@l to appear unconeerned. He prided himself on his ability to meet all situations without visible perturbation.
 Marian" the fathers voice was severe. You forget yourselfl"
 The girls merry laugh greeted his assertion. 'I may forget myself Dad but l am not forgetting Georges mendacity. If he fibs he must take the consequences"
 T did not fib" young Dixon in- sisted. T told the absolute truth when l said that you rigged yourself up like a. gypsy at Christmas time and danced and sang for the kids in the hospital. And it was a mighty dandy thing for you to do, too. Mir. Sumner 1 appeal to you. Wasn't it nice of her?''
 The clergyman looked at the girl on his right. Her cheeks were flushed and she avoided his gaze.
 "To my way of thinking, it was a very beautiful thing for her to do," he said gently. Why, Miss Marian, should you object to MT. Dixon's tell ing us of it?'
 She was not laughing now. Be cause" she said hotly, q did the thing I wanted to do-and I object to posing as philanthropist or self-sacrficing worker for the good of mankind! I hate that kind of junki"

 An affectionate smile came to her lips.

 "Yes-blame me, of course" Dixon rejoined with a. grin. T am used to it."
 q don't blame you at all, MT. Dixon," the minister said. "On the contrary. I am grateful to you for giving me a side-lght on Miss Ma rians character"
 Horton looked relieved. q am glad you take 1t in that way, MT. Sumner" he remarked. Many clergymen would be shocked at my foolish child's abrupt speech and also at her dancing. To tell the truth, I did not know until now that she had given a performance at the hospital"

Steel Is Nervous As Buyers Are Cautious

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The steel market has been nervous during the past week owing to uncertainty rela- tive to probable price developments for the first quarter of the new year. Anticipating a reduction, buy CTS have held off, but aside from little shading here and there the market has shown dispositio to weaken. With the outlook for busi- ness considered favorable there has been little broadening of demand lately and automobile interests as well as railroads, have shown more disposition to operate, although talk ing the trade as whole, buyers still are cautious. The demand for pig irou was quiet but prices, while irreguiaf, displayed a little more stability.
 Copper has been quiet and about steady. With the approach of the holiday season both domestic and foreign business has lessened but no pressure has developed. Second hands appear to have comparatively little metal to offer. It is estimated that total deliveries of refined cop per prcSnced in North and South the follies of his youth in prematur senility or incurable nervous mala- dies. Sometimes in bearing children who are iborn idiotic or deformed. for the sins of the father are visited on the children even unto the third and fourth generations.
 It may be a long time before we get single standard of morals. and women demand the decency of men that men demand of women. but at least a woman who has any self respect can refuse to marry a man whose character needs to be run througlrNxa steam laundry before it is fit for\a nice woman to touch.

Dear Miss Dix: How can a woman decide what profession she is best suited for? l am 33 years young now, and the time has come when l must plan for the future Financially. Do you think the medical profession a suitable one for woman? l tried nursing, but could not carry it through owing To i'll health.' But l loved it. and the medical or nursing profession appeals to me most.
 HOPEFUL.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-17

Answer: There are many success full women doctors, and there is no reason why you should not enter that profession if you feel that you are called to it. But you are starting very late in life. It takes many years of study and much money to put student through a first-class medical college, and give. her the hospital eX perience that she needs. Also, it re- quires robust health
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-17

If you could not stand the strain of nursing, why do you think you would be able to endure the irregu- lar hours, the going. out in all sorts of weather. and the strain incident to the life of a physicianv Before you undertake the study of medicine, you had better have a thorough phy- sical examination, and ask some com petent physician's advice on the sub 5ect.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-17

As for what particular line of work you choose. that does not matter. All that counts is how you do 1t. You can fail or succeed in any line, and your pay envelope depends on how skill, and energy, and enthusiasm you put into it.

Curiously, seekers of the faint con

Pecuharities of his powerful figure

10 a nomadic tribe is indicated by
the superior development of his lower
limbs. That he was a chieftain is
shown in the smallness Of his arms

his followers.

Beside his gigantic skeleton is the
skull Of one of another tribe, pos
sibly one of the true stone age. He
was found in Tippecanoe County. His
facial contour indicated less intelli-
sence than that Of his larger COM
panion. On the right side his teeth
are worn obIquely. showing that he
had exercised great force in chewing
or in doing work of a similar nature.
Hershman said the fact that early
American man at this stage had not
learned to temper metal is self-~vident
proof this fellow used his teeth to
sharpen arrowheads. others differ,
saying the teeth were worn by eat
ing flesh or be stripping flesh and
hair from the skins of animals In
preparation OF arrow thongs.

was exhumed by Richard Guernsey Of

BICKNELL MINERS
FIND PONY ALIVE
Animal Freed After 255 Hours
Under Ground.
BIZ United Press

By CHtted Press
BICKNELL, Ind, June 13.-After
255 hours. the tiny Shetland pony,
companion of the three entombed
miners in the new mine here, slept
gratefully in a stall carefully bedded
down with clean, warm straw.
The faithful partner of all their ex-
pertences in the mine was given up
for dead. The hole through which
the three men had been rescued was
too small to drag even a small pony
through.
However, so great was the feeling
for the little fellow that several men
asked permission of mine officials to
attempt to rescue him.
When the pony was hoisted to the
top of the shaft, little the worse for
wear all Bickrell turned out. With
bands playing, children thronging. the
pony was triumphantly marched down
through Bicknel.
