RAIL AND OIL BONDS.
MARKET LEADERS.
Chicago fractions Weak.
South American Issue Is
Again Prominent.
BY GEORGE L. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 27.-Investment
bonds paused in their advance today
and in some quarters Of the market,
the trend was reactionary. Rails and
United States obligations were rela-
lively steadier.
One Of the weak spots was the Chi
cago fractions. Chicago City and
Connecting Railway 5s were down
over PA points and Chicago Railways
first 5s lost a less amount. Selling
came into the Interborough issues,
based on the statement of counsel
that the company could not make i'm
provements ordered by the Transit
Commission without bankruptcy, but
it was quite evident from the nature
of the support that the market did
not take the assertion of the Inter
borough counsel literally. Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit 6s continued
steady.
Oils and Rails Strong.
Oil bonds We're strong, instances be-
ing Skelly Oil 6ks, Pan-American
Petroleum 6s, Sinclair IS and Empire
Gas and Fuel 712s. u. S. Rubber 5s
were again in demand, but Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine 6s were soft.
Below 8S today they were at the low
of the year. Virginia-Carolina Chem
ical Is and 712s with warrants were
both lower.
Among the rails Missouri Kansas
Texas adjustment, Missouri-Pacific
general As, St. Louis-San Francisco in
come is and Seaboard Air Line ad.
justments were the most active and
generally firm.
Norfolk Southern 5s touched so for
the first time. Chicago, Terre Haute
and Southeastern incomes were frac-
tionally higher. but Chicago Great
Western As reacted.
French Bonds Lower.
The feature in the foreign list was
another new high record for Monte
Video Is, up nearly a point. Today's
price was above any recorded since
1922 They are not redeemable until
1887, and then at 100. Bolivia SIS made
no further advance. French bonds
were shade lower, but relatively in
active. The rest of the list was with
out significant change.
The days new offerings included
$4,84S.0o0 Jersey City 41as, maturing
serially, to yield from $50 TO 4.05 per
cent.

Railroad Eauings Drop.

Both the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the Baltimore and Ohio report smaller
net operating income for April COM
pared with the same month last year
The former suffered a decrease of
$499, S8S to S6,616,5 ,567, while the latter
dropped sI73,655 TO S2,654 1868.
Reports Of April earnings by -
railroads indicate a drop in traffic OF
all kinds during the month, the net
operating income totaling approx
mately SIG, 900, against s19 ,226 900
the previous month, and with S17.25I I
900 in April of last year. Gross
revenues were about S122, ,229 900,
compared with s126, ,466 900 in March

Two Missing Words

TO word exists in the Chinese language for either
science or logic. How little the things for which
the two words stand count in the lives Of the four
hundred million who going to be the center of lot
Of trouble before many years!
Another thing that has counted heavily in the west
that is meaningless in China is the transcendent Says
Confucius: "a moral law that is exterior to man is not
q moral law" To Chnaman there is no religion ex-
cept humanity.
1.-THE kingdom of Cod" said Jesus, 'is within you"
But he did not the same thing as Confucius He
meant that the law of God is to be fulfilled in the way
we live and feel and believe To Confucius there is
law Of God There is only the law that selects for
lation the best in the life of man.

"Oxygenizers''
By "The Spectator"


The basis of healthy physical life is
an ample supply of oxygen. If the
supply is diminished past certain
point death follows.
Similarly the supporting factor in
the moral life is a plentiful supply of
the oxygen of pure environment.
Upon the oxygen of good home con-
ditions the character Of children
thrives.
Some homes have more Of this ne
eessity Of moral life than others. The
minute you enter some homes you feel
q moral stuffiness, an atmosphere that
needs to be oIygenized. In other
homes you sense the stimulating oxy-
gen of pure environment.
The home should be the center Of the
fine things of life. Good books, beau
tiful pictures, worth while music,
should be associated with the home
rather than only with places outside
Of the home.
Cheerfulness, kindness, good humor,
fill the moral atmosphere with oxygen
while i'll humor and fits Of temper
take it out.
Acting on the principle that home is
the place where you can be as mean as
you want to, where you can come when
people won't stand you anywhere else,
poisons the atmosphere quicker than
anything else.
A home should command the same
respect as an art gallery or church.
It is as important and as sacred as
either.
A child reared in an atmosphere in
which the oxygen is depleted by bick-
ering, petty fault-finding and narrow
consideration for the rights Of others
is being as truly deprived Of the neces-
sary elements Of full moral health and
growth as being shut up in a close
room would deprive him Of the neces-
sary oxygen to support healthy phys
zeal life.
Too often the stones Of misunder-
standing, ideas Of Ill health, ridicule,
insincerity and msterialism are given
when the child asks for the bread Of
understanding, of ideas of health, Of
sympathy, sincerity and ideslism.
The home is no place for cynicism
and bitter ideas of failure. 1t is a
place of idealism and hope and ambi-
ton.
1t is no place for doubts and misgir-
ings and despairs. Those around you
in the home need your strength, not
your weakness.

Lies Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

How vital to human beings is their
instructive resistance to the paralyzing
grip of despair!
The average man and woman will
fight to the very last ditch before
giving up all hope.
And use the term "al hope" ad-
visedly.
We do lose hope at times, we do
feel like giving up, we all have had
the experience of seeing the future
as black as can be.
But we don't loss all hope!
We lose some, but net oil
We still hang on!
Yes, everyone has within him q
something that keeps him going des-
pite adversely!
You may or you may not realize the
existence of this hopeful driving force
within.
Whether you do or not it is there
Just the same and it is exerting its
influence upon your thoughts and ac'
tons constantly.
This inner, propelling force that
holds us to the task Of living is In
stinctiye-we are born with it!
II is also unconscious to US for the
most part.
We scarcely realize its presence or
how it operates.
Psychologists call this deeper, inner
driving force '1ibido."
We can no more deny our hbidinous
energy than we can deny that We
live.
II peryades all our thoughts, ae-
tons and feelings.
Libido is the animating spirit Oh
everything.
without libido we should lead mere
" vegetative existence.
Libido is the desire Of life.
Libido is the wishing of life.
Libido is the will to live!
Hope, desire, urge, wishing, strlv-
ing, ambition-all are an integral part
Of libido.
Therefore, why whine when failure
comes?
why not recognize from the very
start that we won't give in anyway
that we will eventually try again to
conquer and forge ahead.
We waste so much valuable time
plying ourselves and trying TO make
excuses.
What's done is done
Profit by IL, unloose the libido, and
attack anew.

In q surprisingly large number OF
cases men who have become national
figures By reason Of their success have
not achieved that success In the lines
in which they started out.
There is the case, for instance. Of
the son Of an actor, who studied law,
graduating from the New York Law
School when he was twenty.thrse.
But his heritage proved stronger
than his acquired profession, and In
stead of opening office for the prsc-
tice Of the latter he got q job with
Palmers Stock Company, and first

old Park Theater In Philadelphia.

WHAT TO DO FOR COLDS
' ROYAL s. COPELAND. M. 10.
United States Senator From New York
Former Commissioner Of Health. New York City.

Germs are not unlike children in
this respect. They want some par
ticular kind Of tissue and will take
no other. That is, they have q Sc
lectiye affinity for such tissues.
This is the reason why the symp-
toms Of colds differ. While they have
some symptoms In common, each cold
has its own style and manner Of at
tack. That Is why one cold is in the
head, another in the tonsils, and others
deeper down In the throat or chest.
This year, as / have said, it is quite
common to hear about muscular sore
ness and stiffness as the chief symp-
tom Of the cold. The pain may not
be severe except on attempting to use
the muscles which are disturbed.
In the treatment Of such a cold,
you should do the usual things and,
in addition, take care of the sore mus
cles. To this end the part Of the
body involved should be put at rest.
To keep moving increases the pain and
adds to the trouble.
Heat is the best remedy. 1t may
be dry heat or moist heat. A hot
water bag, or 4 bag Of hot salt will
promote comfort. Massage and cleo
tricity are useful. Properly applied
that will hasten the cure.

There is a peculiar thing about
colds. What We call q cold may be
"in the head" causing a free dis
charge from the nose, first watery and
later Of thick mucus.
The attack may take the form Of a
sore throat. In this event the trouble
may be in the tonsils only, or 1t maJ
involve the back of the throat, with
a feeling Of rawness and scratching.
In other persons the larynx may
be the seat of disturbance. Hoarse.
ness and even loss of audible voice are
common symptoms.
This year we have muscular symp-
toms as a frequent consequence Of
cold. There are at first the head
symptoms and then the back, the Shout
der or the leg may become suddenly
stiff and painful.
1t is probable all colds are the re-
suit Of germ action. Perhaps 1t is not
always the same variety Of germ and
it may well be that several kinds Of
sefms NAV be active In q single case.
Just which gssaAs VII be attacked
depends upon the taste x2S ianlias'
ton of the injecting germ. Germs pos
sess the property of "selective affin-
ity."
What does this mean?
II child Is crying for candy, he
won't be satisfied with bread. Only
candy will silence him.

more Jon let him run on in his own
way and steer him q bit the more
likely he Il to come to your conclu-
sions.
Mr.. Forbes says in describing his
interview with someone he wished to
influence:
"There were at least three times
during his conversation that I felt
like interrupting him by saying that
I knew all about what he was going to
tell me. But did / once butt in? My
mission was not to impress upon him
what q well.informed man / was, but
to get him in q friendly frame Of mind
and thus disposed to do what wanted
him to do.
1--WE are q vain lot, We humans.
We may hate to admit 1t, but the deep
truth l. that we like the people who
make US feel in love with ourselves"
This is q good point for us all to
remember. It is pretty hard some
times to repress our ego, but it Is
good business policy not to be too
vain.

On Showing Feeling

+" HE granddaughter of Sarah Bernhardt complains
that women do not weep in the theater as they
did when Sarah used to play the Inflated heroine
Of Dumas first play of sentiment, "La Dame Ca

MILE"
The granddaughter seems to draw the conclusion
that in the theater feel less But there other
conclusions probable For thing, where is the
actress today with Sarahs equipment particularly her
voice? That instrument marvellous to begin with and
exquistely trained would go to the human heart just

B. @. Forbes suggested recently - Z
business tip: .
BE more willing to let the other
fellow make an impression on you
than anxious to make an impression
upon him." SO
This Is a good rule to adopt in all
our relations with our fellows.
Every man is vain and like to hear
himself talk. No man likes to have
another man do his thinking for him
or to come to his conclusions for him.
1t is much better to leave q man
alone and let him come to his conclu.
sions by the processes Of his own rea-
soning than it is to talk too much.
A glib salesman who is over-loqua.

And q good listener usually is q good
salesman.
There is more power in suggestion
than in an argument And the sales

a successful steerer Of another and not
one who undertakes to force the con.
illusions Of another.
