New York Central, Union Pacific
and Baltimore and Ohio, although
closing prices were considerably be-
low the high levels of the day. Rock
Island and Wheeling and Lake Erie
preferred, responded to a revival of
merger rumors. Profit-taking and
professional efforts to unsettle the
market by unloading influential
stocks had little effect on the trend
of prices although they caused pc
RODS of hesitation throughout the
day. American Can closed l II
points lower and U. S. Steel and
Baldwin eased off fractionally.
Trading in the foreign exchanges
again was featured by rallies in Dan
ish and Norwegian kroner to the
highest levels in several years. De-
mand sterling held firm, slightly be-
low Sass, while French francs and
Italian Ira were steady.
No change was noted in the pre-
vailing ease in the money situation.
Call funds held at ga percent all
day and time money rates were I'M
changed.
Interest in bond trading was OBJ
scured by the heavy subscription of
the SIo,OOO,UO Australian loan, Of
fered by j. p. Morgan and COM
pany. While the bankers declined
to reveal the amount of total sub
scriptions, Wall Street investment
houses estimated that the issue had
been twice oversold and reported
that they had encountered consider
able difficulty in filling orders for
the bonds.
The influence of the offering on
bond trading was reflected. ina var
iety of Switching" operations. At
traCted by the statement of the
bankers that the Australian obliga-
tions were comparable to those of
the Dominion of Canada, holders of
the Canadian bonds as we'll as of
several other conservative foreign is
sues showed a tendency to transfer
their funds to the commonwealth
loan, which was sold to yield above
per cent. Some selling of L. S.
Treasury and Liberty bonds was al
so ascribed to a desire to invest in
the Australian issue.
Active buying of Danish bonds,
which lifted the governments out
standing 6s more than two points
and the Copenhagen lbs a point,
was followed by the announcement
that $30,OOO,0OO refunding loan
had been awarded to the Guaranty
Company of New York. The oper-
alton will reduce interest charges on
one of the Danish issues from : to
IL per cent. An early offering of
so year bonds is expected.
Domestic corporation liens pur-
sued a downward course today, al
though losses mainly were confined
to fractions. Convertible oil issues
were heavy and there was scattered
selling of semi-speculative railroad
bonds, particularly those mentioned
in connection with merger prospects,

ROtarians Told
About State School
For Feeble Minded

stephen E. Vosburgh, NJ. D.. suner-
intendent of the Maine School e.
feeple Minded, was the speaker NJ ~
regular meeting of the Waterville Poo
tary Club at the Elmwood Hote, ,.as
terday noon. AAo'ei yes
Dr. Vosburgh divided his talk into
Two main topics. the first of which
was the great difficulty with which the
state was confronted in dealing with
the Feeble or sub-normal minded neo-
PIE, OF whom there are at present some
-oVo' Inc doctor explained that a suh-
normal person was one whose mentali-
" was below the average and those
whose development is equal to that of
children from zero to IL years are
termed feeble minded" A further
division is made. those being classed
Idiots whose mentality is from zero
TO TWO years. imbeciles from two to
seven years, and morons from seven
to IL years.
The speaker said that by means of
intelligence tests it has been made
possible to determine the mental de-
velopment of the feeble minded and to
classify them. Individual tests have
been found to be very accurate but
this cannot be said of the group of
tests such as were employed at the
time of the drafts in the World War.
Character traits are . something that
cannot be brought out by the tests.
and the doctor said that these had al
ways proved the stumbling block to
legal procedure.
In speaking of the race level, DR..
Vosburgh said that it was made up
or groups, and he spoke at some length
or the tribes such as are found in
Athens, China and other parts of the
State.
Heredity is responsible for so per
cent. of all feeble mindedness, the
other 20 per cent. being caused by ac-
cldent before or at birth and by dis
ease in childhood. The speaker stat
ed that because the heredity group is
so complex it offers much difficulty to
the State and is great burden Three
methods of combating it which he
named were the exclusion of sub-nor-
NAL immigrants, segregation of the
feeble minded and sterilization.
the second phase of DIR. Vosburgh' S
talk took up the part that Maine is
playing in caring for the feeble mind
ed and preventing their increase. In
1908. he said, the State set aside 1900
acres in Pownal as a home for the
IScOie uliuuSu. MS HdS Deen ueNel-
oped to such an extent that there are
now 43 buildings with SIS beds and in
another month this number will be in
creased by $50. The speaker pointed
out that the State has no plans for
expansion for the future and he was
of the impression that money spent
for this work was money we'll spent.
The schools of the institution are
run at regular periods and are graded.
A comparatively small percentage of
the inmates can be led to be partly
self-supporting. The doctor told of
the work that is done on the farm
which the inmates conduct and this
branch of the establishment is run at
profit. Up to this year nearly ST.
100000 has been invested by the State
in the institution and everything is
conducted on the most economic basis
possible.

Features Of the Days Dealings in Al

| stock prices. Undeterred by pro-
| fessional attempts to depress the
market leaders, spectators for the
rise carried on constructive opera
tons with signal success in many
| other sections of the list, lifting
prices of a score of mail order, mo-
| tor, rubber, merchandise, food, to-
! bacco and specially issues to new
| high levels for the year, on gains of
| 1 to 6 points.
| A favorable budget of trade news,
including a higher average for gem
eral commodity prices, increased
| earnings by oil, tobacco and automo-
bile accessory companies, coupled
with an advance in tire prices, en-
| couraged renewed buying of many

tacular individual performance,
squirting up 8 Sd points to JOG, the
highest price in 90 years. Improved

interests familiar with the COM
pany's strong position as a high iron

Reports OF prosperous conditions

peak price for the year at 1877 3-S
closing 5 IL points net higher at

place in various merchandising is
sues, such as International Shoe and
in food shares, including American
Sugar, Great Western Sugar, Ma
tional Biscuit and Fleischmann.
Bullish demonstrations were re-
sumed with vigor in such specula-
tive favorites as Mack Truck and
Havana Electric, both of which
broke into new high ground At
1914 Sd Mack established a record
high price but it eased off at the
close to 1913 IA, a gain of "a

crossed 1872 for the first time this
season. Burroughs Adding Machine
was boosted z points to a new top at
95 Ia.

Report of Activities
Of Present Year

A Chamber of Commerce Service
, letter is being sent out by Mrs. Flor
ence NJ. Wallace. secretary of the To-
cal Chamber at the present time. The
letter tells the members just what
the Chamber is doing this year anc

The letter in part is as follows:
The Chamber of Commerce has had
very busy and useful year so far.
While business has always been brisk
In the winter, there has been such 4.
tremendous advance in summer acti-
vities that the office is now rushed all
the year round. Early in April this
year inquiries began to come into the
office for cottage accommodations for
Memorial day and there has been a
steady barrage of inquiries from that
day to this.
The Chamber was never so well
equipped to answer inquiries as it is
supplied with maps of the state,
timetables of bus and steamboat
lines, and booklets and folders from
all parts of Maine to which addi-
tions are being made constantly.
During the past few months the
Chamber has successfully carried on
a campaign for a state highway from
here to Belfast that has promoted &C
quaintance between the business men
of Waterville and the summer resi-
dnts which will result in their en-
livened interest in our community.
|. Two hundred more road signs have
been bought and are being placed on
the highway directing the way to
Waterville.
Very attractive souvenir folders
were distributed to the governors or
the various states who listed here re-

Arrangements have been made for
an exhibit of Waterville and Maine
made goods at the Central Maine
Fair this fall. The Waterville Cham
Der is the pioneer in this departure
and the practice Is to be taken up
this year all over the state.
The Chamber is doing a modest
amount of national advertising this
year. which cannot fail to call atten-
ton to our state and city.
