Therefore We perhaps should say
nothing regarding the securities of

Ia make this comment; namely, that
it is very dangerous TO consider
automobile stocks as Il group. Each
individual stock must stand on its
own basis. Some will 60 to higher
figures, while others will decline
to nothing. Many of the kecnest
bankers believe that automobile
stocks, taken as whole, are to(
high at the present time, and an
Inclined to agree with this dag
nosis. On the other hand, if the ex
pectcd consultations take place, the
surviving companies should profit
greatly thereby. The automobile
industry is a good deal like tho
copper industry. Both industries, as
industries, are perfectly sound; but
when investors bet on any one com.
pany they run considerable risk.
Moreover, statistics strongly indi-
cate that copper stocks, as class,
are Il safer let than the automobile
stocks at the moment.

STRING SAVES LIFE
shoestring Catches and Saves Child From Two.Story Fall, Chauffeur Rescues Her As String Breaks

Baltimore, Maryland. Feb. 20.- Fate in the person of chauffeur and a slender shoe string, yesterday saved the life of Anita Danzie, as she hung suspended, head downward from rusted staple insecurely set in 8 window sill on the second floor of her home.
 Playing about the second floor apartment. in a pair of shoes she was wearing for the first time, three year old Anita fell from the window. Her fall, however, was checked by the slender but strong string in one of the new shoes.
 Gregory Jakimovi chauffeur dashed up the stairway to the apart- ment. Just as he reached for the feet of the child. the rusty, weath- er-beaten staple broke but with A. frantic grab he secured a grip on Anita's dress and drew her to safety.

"That Provost Marshal Feeling"

To the doughboy III France q
leave was more Of an experience
than the same sort Of thing was in
the States. He had a small volume
Of papers written in English and
French; he was given SO long at
his destination, travelling time not
counted; some guys travelled over
half of France getting to and from
their destination: he was supposed
to ride only in third class coaches,
officers only; non-coms might ride
in second class compartments #
they could get in, but more times
than not the doughhoy settled
down in a first class coach, wired
the doors shut, pulled down all the
shades when he approached a sta
ton and defied all and sundry to
put him out. Yes to man going
on his first leave the affair took on
the air Of an adventure.
My buddy and myself were in the
LeMans Embarkation Area in the
stinky old hamlet Of Conlie; we re-
ceived 4 seven day pass to Lyons.
We were supposed to go by the
way Of Tours but the lure Of
Paris was too much. Going on
leave in France was never complete
unless the leaver could see Paris,
Half Of the "A. r. f. went out of
their way to see Paree; many Of
them saw too much and fell into
the clutches Of Hardboiled Smith

out Of bounds to all soldiers except
some favored officers and Y work

the men on leave managed to see

Of company from the county so
this record Of his is only one of
several others that the county can

in 1918 and didn't waste much time
in telling Jerry what he was in for;
he showed him.

He was across early in 1918 and
staggered and slid from one quiet

was able to settle down with the

Army. They did their act and the
