STUDY WOOD SYSTEM
Grey Haired SpectuIators Say Young
 Wood Has Them All Rested

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Market spec. uiators who have grown grey at the task of trying to grow wealthy in Wall street today studied the system re- puted to have made the fortune of Lieut. Osborne c. Wood, son of Gov ernor General Leonard Wood of the Philippines, who is reported to have accumulated between $7OO,OOO and $800,O00 by cable speculation from Manila to the street.
 Commenting on the declaration yes terday of financial "tipster" service head that Wood had acted on nightly cablegrams sent to him and for which he was said to have paid 5000 a month including cable tolls, specula tors said the young officer had dem onstrated that long range shots are the best.
 Every day, it was declared, ca blegram analyzing the state of the stock market was sent to young Wood in Manila, and in addition, special ad vice to buy or sell and answers to re- quests for information were set, all in plain English and not in code. Tolls ranged from a few dollars to $S0 a day, or more.
 The last message from Wood was said to have been sent December 19 and it was believed 1t was on that day that Secretary of War Weeks directed that the young officers operations should cease. Mr. Weeks said yester day in Newton, Mass. that he had is sued the order because he thought tht amounts involved appeared to be be yond the financial responsibilities o1 Wood. He added that he did not be lieve the subject warranted depart mental action.

THE AVERAGE MAN HAS NO
 SUNDAY CLOTHES NOR f HOME BUT OWNS AUTO

CHICAGO, Jan. 9-The average man no longer has Sunday suit of clothes or home but he owns an auto or is buying one on the installment plan according to nationwide survey made by the National Association ot Retail Clothiers.
 People don't seem to care much about clothing any more, according to results of the survey made public yes terday. And one state is about as bad as another in taht respect, altho Texas, Iowa, and New York seem to be the most careless about their ap- pearance.
 There was big cotton crop this year and many merchants laid in fine stocks of clothing, but the money went for new autos
 In an Iowa district where ex-sol- diers received their bonus money $50 new automobiles were sold besides hundreds of second hand ones.
 The survey shows Denver, Colo, as typical victim of the automobile, where in city of less than 300,O0, there is registration of 51,OO0 autos one for each family.

LYONS WILL GET BACK
 HISTORIC GOLDEN KEYS

LYONS, France, Jan 9-Two gold en keys for the gates of the city of Lyons, for more than 100 years re- tained in Vienna by the Austrians as spells of the invasion of France in 1914. are to be returned to Lyons.

 The two keys now in Vienna will he brought back to the old Lyons muse um to take their place beside the third key to the city which was overlooked by the Austrrans in 1914.

1924 OUTLOOK .FOR
 LUMBER INDUSTRY GOOD
West Coast Product Growing in Pop uIarity-Production in South
 Is Curtailed

SEATTLE, Jan. 9-There is every reason to believe that 1924 will be an active year in the Pacific northwest lumber industry, declared Robert B. Allen, general manager of the West Boast Lumbermen's associat ton, upon his return yesterday from the East where he attended a lumber standard ization conference and the annual conference of the National Lumber Manufacturers association in Washing ton, D. c.
 West coast lumber is growing in popularity in the New Tory market, he stated. "In the southern pine re- zion heavy rains have somewhat cur. tailed lummber productions; several operators have gone off the market The result is that southern pine stocks on hand are light
 Tn the northern pine and hemlock region, Wisconsin and Minnesota there is marked scarcity of common lumber and stocks of upper grades are below normal.
 All these things indicate that there will be a good chance for west coast lumber in the coming year"

WASHINGTON Jan 3.--Graduates of medical, dental and pharmaceutical colleges and of nurses training schools are finding the opportunities of civil life so attractive that the med ical department of the navy is having increased difficulty in set:ng sui'a- b!e tlalLea personnel for it's work

FRENCH MOTORISTS SUE
 RAILROADS WHEN DELAYED

{ PARIS, Jan 9.-Long waits by au- tomobiles at railroad crossings in France, promise to grow shorter in view of a recent court decision giv- ing damages to an autoist for being kept waiting 45 minutes.
 Schrieber tried strong language on a switching crew without effect, so he got some witnesses and filed suit. It developed that an old law authorized department prefects to fix the limit of delay where trains stop, or when switching was lively to exceed ten minutes. As there was no such limit in this case the court accepted ten minutes as the time railroad might block a highway and recognized the right of those delayed to collect dam ages for loss Of time and mental sui fcring.

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTOf
TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW,
CONTINUED.

You know, Bee, Sam wouldn't show
himself to any other person as untidy
as he does to me for anything in the
world, yet 1 can fully understand his
attitude and if he were alone he would
be all right.
This may seem to you a very foolish
little thing, and perhaps there are
people in the world who love each
other so devotedly, so passionately,
quisitely in their Vaccinations and
blind their material eyes to all sloven.
Illness and inperfection. can't do it.
All this my dear is a kind Of prel-
ude to tell you 1 think Sam and I
have come to the parting Of the ways.
We haven't told each other this yet,
but I am sure I bore him quite as
much as he does me.
He has a sort of shamed feeling
Ahat will not let him confess this to
me. but I know when he begins to
tell me what a wonderful wife 1 was
to him during all the time he was
blind, he is trying to salve his con
science for not being able to keep from
thinking now that he wishes 1 were
miles away.
We never did have anything in
common except the glamor of sex at.
traction. Isn't nature implacably
malevolent? She pays no attention to
our cries-afterward She shows no
pity for our unhappy state. She must
know that after she has brought us
together and her work is done she has
sentenced us to long years of uuhap-
