There are five children in the
Macdonald family-Alister, an archi-

is at Oxford; Isabel, the eldest daugh-
ter, twenty. and very pretty; Joan,
fifteen, and struggling with algebra,
and Sheila, thirteen, who is just
being worried to death over her first
lessons in geometry.
Isabel is studying household and
domestic science and social service
at Kings College.

I'm very fond Of designing,

1t will be very interesting, when
Miss Macdonald becomes mistress Of
10 Downing street, if she designs the
wall papers for the ugly rooms in the
premier'S official residence.
Miss Macdonald would feel strange
as the political hostess for the gov

On Mr.. MacDonald's desk was a

Isabel. Pipes, cigarettes and cigars,

tiny and he does it all himself.

PAST WEEK IN
STOCKS.
DemoraIized Exchanges of
Europe Affect Early
- Market Trading.
BY w. S. COUSINS.

Copyright. 1924, by Cosmopolitan News

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The lines
were drawn quite sharply in the
speculative stock market this week.
Active stocks sold on close markins,
and most of the transactions result
ed from the activity of the profes-
sional pools and cliques, operating
mostly on the bullish side of the
market.
AS in previous weeks, the market
was dominated by few of the spe.
cialty stocks sponsored by pools.
Cast Iron Pipe furnished most OF
the market gymnastics, first reced.
ing from 7S to Sc, then recovering
its loss. Publication of last years
financial stateme mt, showing net
earnings of over S21 share on the
common stock, did much to stimulate
interest in the issue.
In the first two sessions of the
week, the stock market was under
the influence of the demoralized for
eign exchanges.
This served as an excuse foc heavy
realizing sales and a convenient
peg" on which to hang the blame
for the irregular trend which en-
gulfed the market on Monday and
Tuesday. Market experts were gen.
orally Of the opinion that the reac-
tion would naturally have followed
the advance of the preceding two
weeks, and attributed the heavy
selling almost entirely to profit-tak-
ing.
A broader market for steel stocks
developed in the latter part of the
week, due to the improvement in the
steel industry as reported by a mum.
ber of prominent companies and the
action of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company in paying the last INSTALL
ment of the cumulative dividend on
the preferred stock. United Stat %
Steel maintained its position well
above par, and Republic was in good
demand at better prices.
Despite the favorable reports and
prospects for the Studebaker cor
poration, that stock was under sell
ing pressure most Of the week, ana
sold down to about 6 points lower
than last weeks high level. Bald
win, another of the market leaders,
was the object Of sharp attack by the
bears, and under heavy volume OF
transactions it lost much Of it's re-
cent advance. Pressure against
these and other Of the active stocks
has inspired belief that the short in
terest is larger than at any time
since the turn Of the year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The move
ment of prices was again extremely
narrow in the stock market today.
Trading was completely controlled
by professional spectators, who di-
rected their attention to a small
group of special issues. With the
weekend trade review giving little
or no indication Of the future trend
in business and industry, the quiet
ness of the market was natural.
Even news of another advance
in Mid-Continent and Pennsylvania
crude oil prices hardly stirred the
petroleum group, although firm.
ness in that quarter was in evi-
,dence. Probably the advance was
held in check by the weakness in
Phillips Petroleum, due to the
rather unexpected announcement
Of the offering of about 300, 900 ad-
ditional shares of stock. OF sus-
tanning influence was the predic-
ton that consumption of gasoline
in the United States during the
current month would establish a
new high record for any January
in the history of the industry.
Steels, equipments and motors
were fairly steady, but rubbers and
chemicals were under pressure at
times. Sugars showed up well
while coppers were entirely neg
lected, New York Airbrake met
with excellent buying, reflecting the
splendid earning position Of the
company. Consolidated Gas spurted
to higher levels. also General Elec.
trio and May Stores. Cast Iron Pipe
turned downward following early
strength.
Quiet conditions prevailed in the
railroad group, the undertone being
steady.
The market closed stesdy.
Bond trading continued active
with prices generally firm.
Foreign exchanges displayed
heaviness. Political and strike de-
velopments in England continued
to affect sterling. Danish kroner
broke IS points, due to the reduction
of per cent in the official rate on
sterling In Copenhagen by tins com-
mittee IN charge Of the fund for the
stahiiisation of the Danish currency.

Prompt Payment Of Bills in
Modern Trade.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-As one of
the seven days of National Thrift
Week, today has been dedicated to
the idea of paying bills promptly.
In a sense each business man
writes the order for his own succ0Ss-
He who meets every obligation
quickly heightens his prestige. Mod
ern business rests primarily on fattn
and credit, and the narrow-visioned
men, who save a penny here and
there by keeping their creditors
waiting, are in reality limiting their
own development.
AS a people, we are neglectful in
paying our bills for professional
thoughtlesSly are frequently inclined
to let the doctor and dentist wait
for their checks. We are a little irri-
tated when we receive bills, no mat
ter how moderate, feeling subcon-
sciously that the doctor is an altru-
ist and should not be concerned with
material matters.
If this day of thrift week is to be
of any permanent significance let
folks resolve to give the physician,
dentist and other professional men
a little better treatment. Profes-
sional bills should be met as prompt
ly as commercial bills.
Doctors are not bankers and
should not be expected to finance
themselves and the patients twelve
months in advance Cash now is
worth 6 per cent, as much as an
equivalent amount payable in a
year.
AS a rule, professional men ar4
not Overcompensated. The star per-
formers are far less handsomely re-
warded in a material way than lead.
ers of trade and finance. Yet IN
submitting bills for fees, doctors arc
perpetually causing irritation. There
would be less Ill feeling if there
were a more definitely conceived
economic basis for the doctors
charges, which at present are too
arbitrary. Physicians and surgeons
ordinarily do not have a uniform
charge for operations and other ma
jor services but base their bills on
the ability Of the patient to pay.
In the case of wealthy patients,
the charge is frequently ''all that
the traffic will bear" a formula that
in the old days guided the policies
of the railroads. In justifying this
method. physicians assert that they
are ready to render services free,
or at nominal cost to poor indi-
VidualS.
Early next week men in overalls,
figuratively speaking, will be IN
control Of the British government.
The spectacle is especially novel be-
| cause London has for centuries been
the capital of orthodox thinking in
regard to money matters. AS a mi,
nnrity group. Ramsay Macdonald
and his associates in the Labor
party-nonconformists in economics
cannot be expected to accomplish
revolutionary changes in ways OF
doing business.
The Inauguration Of a working,
/ mems government will be made ali
the more dramatic by coming in al
most Immediately after the nation
railroad workers threaten to go OF,
strike. Enterprises Of the old regime
are talking bravely of their faith
| in the good sense of Englishmen
but many of the timid are trans
ferring their investments to New
| York.

IMPOSSIBLE
TO RAISE
LUSITANIA

London, Sept. 2f-Chanccs are
that the Lusitania, sunk off the
Irish coast by German torpedo in
May 1915, never will be raised,
according to David Masters, author
of book which describes the wond-
crs of salvage.
The sheer weight of the sea, the
writer points out, quickly obliter-
ates mans handiwork. and the Lusi-
tania probably ceased to be ship
years ago. 1t is extremely likely
that the tremendous pressure to
which she was subjected at. the
depth of 288 feet long ago crushed
her. flat, he says.
The liners 3O-ton safe, full Of
would be strong enough,
one might think to resist the pressure
Of the sea; but even the chances
of salvoging the safe alone from the
liners strong room do not appeal to
the writer as being worth the risk.
Scores of schemes have been pro-
pounded for salvaging the Lusitania.
An American has proposed to use a
submarine which would fire torpe-
does through the hull. Each torpedo
would carry steel cable. When
sufficient cables had been fired they
would be picked up on the other
side, brought to the surface, and
the wreck lifted from the depths.
Experts say this ingenious scheme is
simple in theory, but impracticable,
