NEW YORK, August 19.-There
We're intervals in today's trading or
the Stock Exchange when the market
gave plain evidence of firing, and thus
slowing down process resulted III an
extremely mixed movement of prices,
\ score or more OF the issues selected
for leadership rose to their best prices
for the year and new buying cropped
out in such quarters as the metal and
rubber shares. But there was a good
deal of proiit-taking and short selling
continued on the theory that stocks
had risen 10 their present high Levels
in too eNtrayagaut fashion.
In the industrial section California
Packing, which ran up sharply on
the preceding day, increased its gain
by several points. Havana Electric
jumped well across the 200 level again,
and International Harvester resumed
it's advance for 4 time.
All Show Record Highs.
These issues all struck record highs
for 1929 and 50 did Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies, International Nickel,
which came out in large volume;
Texas Gulf Sulphur, in anticipation of
more favorable dividends at the forth
coming directors meeting; Air Reduc-
ton on stock Spnt-up gossip Onlleu
States Smelling and American Smelt-
ing. Chicago Pneumatic Tool, Man
haitian Guaranteed, the Pierce-Arrows
and Public Service Electric and Gas
preferred. Pierce-Arrow preferred ran
up about 3 points.
National Lead Advances.
National Lead was a leader among
the high-priced issues. Its advance
was in line with the buying in the
other metal shares, but the market
for the stock was undoubtedly infiu-
enced as well by the possibility of a
capital split-up. Union Bag and Paper
shot forward several points. Mon
tana Power, International Cement and
International Paper were 112 TO over
2 points higher at one stage.
The closing was steady. The ap-
parent inability of bear traders TO
disIodge much long stock resulted in
rather active short covering in the
late trading. Mack Trucks and
Westinghouse Air Brake each rallied
over points from their morning
lows. Strong buying power also
developed in the oil group.

We pass over the point that if Puritan rgidity has

during the World War.
The comment would make on the statement of
the Church Times is that it painfully ignorant of the
facts and that religious" editors than other
editors ought to acquaint themselves with fact The
Puritans did not stone to death for kissing their
wives; they did not burn any witches.
Since the days of the Puritans, moreover the Puri-
tan influence has, every student of American history
knows, steadily lessened in New England and outside
of New England it has scarcely been felt The South
felt only to oppose it, the West the pioneers gradu
ally advanced was barely conscious of it, the millions
and millions of other Europeans who emigrated hither
were unaware of its existence.
It is true that we have what Matthew Arnold
speaking of the English called Philistines plenty of
them; but in England according to Arnold they made
the bulk of the population So far from initiating the
English, have perssently asserted right to go
way; but the goals of idealism have sought
to reach have been the same those of England.
These goals are tolerance social understanding, re-
lgous freedom. It is curious to the Church Times
turning its back all three at this late date. Is it
possible that in its frenzy of annoyance that Americans
are not little Englishmen, the Church Times is more
Puritan than America is?

Cailaux'S Offer on
Debt Awaited

~ ISPATCHES from Paris recently described NJ
Caillaux as having been endowed with full
power by his cabinet to reach settlement at
Washington Later he described himself to the Brit
ish and American correspondents in Paris prepared
to make "gentemans proposition to gentlemen"
1t is difficult to tell what that means There is no
word in French to correspond precisely with the Eng
sh or American term gentleman" The Associated
Press does not say whether NJ Caillaux used the Eng
lsh term, or whether he used some French phrase
which its correspondent felt justified in ransatng
gentleman" Even though NJ. Caaux should come
here with the best intentions in the world his declara
TONS and those made for him. must be carefully scru
tinzed if fatal misunderstanding is to be avoided.
There is French phrase sometimes translated as
gentleman but it means nearly either we'll

HEALTH AND THE PRESS
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

criticism of the preacher and the
orator to say that their views do
not begin to reach the multitudes
covered by the newspapers.
To be able to help a single human
sufferer is a joy, but to carry the
gospel of good health to millions
every day is a privilege immeasur-
able.
If the tariff is important to in
dustry; if the rate of taxation is
vital to business; if n war in
Arabia is worthy of consideration
if the open door in China deserves
discussion-if all these things which
have very little significance to the
average individual are to be writ
ten about, is it not of equal impor-
lance, to put it no stronger, to
write about health and the prolong-
alton of life?
Simple eating, lots of sleep, the
avoidance of undue fatigue, sun
light, fresh air, regular exercise
to preach these TO the people and
to broadcast their importance to
newspaper readers everywhere will,
in the first analysis do more good
to more persons than all the speech
es in all the parliamentary bodies of
the whole world.
Your length Of days is within
your own hands. You can deter
mine for yourself what your physi-
cal life and end shall be. That is
a message which should give thought
to persons who receive it. 1t has a
direct, personal appeal to every
heart. If it is needed, the world
is bettered economically and every
household is made happier. Blessings
on the press!

Rewards of Virtue
BY. DIR. FRANK CRANE

pay for and get a quart OF milk
at the dairy does not mean that you
get the eye-dropper, too.
You have to go somewhere else
and pay for it and get it.
In living your life you have three
different kinds of things to look
after at the same time. They are
the moral, the mental and the ply
iscal.
Although they overlap, each re-
quircs individual attention.
Deserving the moral side alone
won't result in a strong mind or
healthy body as matter of course.
1t certainly will help, but it won't
do it all.
Life is complex. You have to
attend to more than one thing at a
time.
Just doing one well will bring
you the rewards of that, but not
of the others.
And while virtue is the most
worthwhile thing in life it is well
to remember that its possessor does
not necessarily deserve the rewards
that come from toll in the other
sides of life.

Lies Hurdle
Crowding Children.
By L. E. Bisch

A falkland a serious one-in
our educational system is the fact
that at puberty, about the age of
Il, we begin crowding our school
boys and girls.
This is the time when they are
graduated from grammar school and
begin a new kind of training-that
is, the high school curriculum.
High school is different from
grammar school in many ways in
its subjects Of study, in special
teachers for special branches, in gen.
eral atmosphere.
To be sure, some grammar schools
wisely initiate high school instruc-
ton in the last grade or two, but the
practice is not as common as it
should be.
At II or IS, young girls undergo
even more marked nerve and emo
tional changes than boys.
Instead of crowding them more,
we ought to ease up on their duties
and general activities.
If they quit school and go to work,
the boys and girls are no better off.
Here again, everything is strange
and novel.
It may, Of course, be fascinating
it probably is-but what it does is
to key up nerves that are already
under increased strain from body
transformations going on inside.
Again, our youth is likely to be
more active in society about this age.
They go to dances, they stay out
late, they get away from home rou-
tine.
Likewise, attraction for the oppo-
site sex increases and they become
more conscious of personal charm.
Interest in boys, girls, clothes,
and entertainment assume a prom
inent role in their lives.
We must be careful to apply the
brakes on these young people who
are so full Of energy and 'ambi-
ton.
Don't rush or overwork your chill
dren during these adolescent years.
They are dangerous years!
Make them rest. Make them I'M
derstand the rashness Of OVERRIDING.
Don't crowd them.

Sounding the Shofar
By RABBI SAMUEL MARKS

mire of vice in which we have so
thoughtlessly wHllowed all the year:
on this day we have TO encounter an
enemy, the evil desire in our hearts,
that is tempting us to fall off from
God and our faith. On this day
fearing to fall we fervently entreat
Him that He may avert the falling
Of the sacred temple Of our soul
the body-into the Babylon of cor
ruption-the premature grave, and
by devOut prayer we hope for the
final ingathcring Of the whole
human race. These are the seasons
for sounding on New Year Day the
Shofar.
And to render ell this more i'm
pressive and to point out to us the
mode and manner in which God
wishes our return and how our reli-
gion admonishes us to accomplish
such n return we are to hear first
the simple and soft sound Of the
Tel.sah. which indicates that God
calls US not in harsh language but
first in moving and heart touching
accents Of love; then we are to hear
the broken sounds of sobbing-She-
vCrim-whicA are to make us feel
like an earthly parent God is not
implacable in His anger with us on
account Of our sins in which we
continue. but rather full Of compass
sion and sympathy, grieVing with US
over our past faults.
Then we are TO hear the sounds Of
alarm-Teruah-calling upon US to
arouse the spirit Of good against
the spirit Of evil that we may
transgress no more as it is said:
arouse yourselves and you will sin
no more" And then again we are
10 hear the simple and soft sound of
the Tekiah, intimating that God is
ready TO accept us in kindness and
that our sins are By true repentance
atOned for.
All this is gone through three
times as is also the whole order to
bring us to the idea Of treble holt
ness as God is sanctified in three
fold holiness. And the whole cere-
mony is concluded with a Tekinh
GedoIah-a protracted soft sound to
make the impression lasting like the
adnonition addressed by a tender
parent to the repenant son to warn
him against a relapse into his for
mer transgressions.

Once in a while some friend
"kids" me about writing articles for
the press. don't mind, but it is
interesting to study the reactions Of
people to this particular thing.
A few days ago one of the great
newspapers carried an editorial
from which the following is
quotation:
"The British Ministry seems I'M
duly excited over the question
whether or not a member Of the
Cabinet should be permitted to so
lower the dignity of the politician
as to write for the papers. 1t has
been made a live issue by foolish
criticism directed at Lord Birken-
head, who has been supplementing
his official salary of $4,000 by
writing for the press for 100000.
1t is not charged that he has writ
ten on official or political matters.
The offense seems to lie in writing
at all.
1T is common knowledge that
for a century most of the leading
politicians and ministers Of Europe
have written for the press, on poll
tics and governmental policies, al
belt cOncealing their identity. But
there has always been a disposition
to look upon the work of a writer
as beneath the dignity Of politician
which is not little amusing :.
Lord Birkenhead could easily do
more undignified things than writ
ing, even for the press, which is
more potent than the politicians"
Who can doubt that the greatest
moral force in the world today is
the press? The time was when the
pulpit and the platform moulded the
thoughts Of the people. 1t is no

No great occurrence, either joyful
or sorrowful, connected with the
Jewish race as a nation has ever
taken place, or will ever take place
as the Talmud justly remarks with
out the sounding of the trumpet.
When the Hebrews were led forth
from the land of Egypt to become
the bearers of the great religious
truths for the welfare Of the whole
human race, Scripture tells us the
voice of the Shofar waxcd exceed
ingly loud. When the year Of Jubi-
lee came in which freedom was re-
stored to the bondsmen the ShOfar
was sounded. When the Israelites
brought offerings on days of joy,
on festivals, on days of the new
moon, they were commanded: And
We shall blow with trumpets."
When the Israelites were to be
gathered at a congregation either TO
break up frsm their resting places
or because of some other important
reason, the trumpets sounded. When
they had to encounter an enemy
they blew the trumpet.
When the Sacred Temple was
about 10 fall into the hands Of
Babylon, the prophet jeremiah ex-
claimed: "Oh, thou hast heard my
soul the sound Of the Shofar, the
alarm Of war" And when the
whole human family will be united
to God and TO each other in love and
duty the prophet Isaiah tells US:
And it will come to pass on that
day that a great Sbofar shall be
blown"
On Roeh Hashonah, New Year
Day, all the above mentioned causes
are united. For on that day Israel
departs anew from the mitzrayim Of
sin, from the bondage Of vice by
repentance TO receive the holy law
anew. 1t is the day for the reve-
lation on Sinai. 1t is the day Of
Vowel when the freedom Of religion
is 10 be restored as the Jewish
sages say: None is a truly free
man but be that labors in the law.
1t is a day of JOY, a festival and
Rosh Hodesh, the beginning Of the
seventh month.
On New Year Day we break up
from our resting place, from the

"The reward of virtue" says
Emerson, sis virtue"
This sentence is like toast. The
longer you chew on it the more you
get from it.
The idea that being good means
being rich or famous or healthy is
erroneous. 1t does not necessarily
follow.
A person with a beautiful moral
character oftentimes suffers con-
tinual i'll health.
We say it does not seem right
that such dear, good, kind per-
son should be afflicted with poor
health.
But we forget that goodness will
not change the laws of nature. No
matter how good person is, il he
doesn't eat the right kind of food
and get proper exercise and follow
the laws of hygiene he will be sick.
And all the goodness in the world
won't save him.

That I shall not forget you

And 1 am hoping flowers may blow
Along your future pathways

You've caused me often to be glad,
For which 1 thank you most sin

Your husband is a lucky lad,
And ought to prize you very
dearly.
I liked your playful moods; your
smile
Was most delightful and per-
sussive;
I've often found you charming
while
You were elusive and evasive;
Perhaps what I am saying seems
All wrong to you, since you are
married,
But why deny that certain dreams
And plans that once were mine
miscarried?
Oft when I felt the need Of praise
You soothed me with your gentle
purring;
Ny memories Of those dear days
The seasons shall be slow in
blurring.
I wonder whether you recall
One evening when We strolled
together
And saw a shooting star, and all
1 mentioned to you was the
weather?
I knew what wish was in your
mind,
Your fond look did not fail TO
show it,
And. looking backward now. I find

And certain solemn words were

Railroads and Unity

~ TUDENTS of American history ascribe as one of
the causes of the Civil War the absence of rail-

Most of the roads before 1860 ran east and west

Consequently the two sections lacked facilities for
inter-communcation and better understanding.
The present network of railroads and state high

easy, is doing much TO knit this country into closer
