.DOUMER TO ROAM
WITHOUT A GUARD
Venerable French President
Obtains "Freedom" to
Visit Grandchildren.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RAMBOUILLET. France, September
3.-Paul Doumer, Frances thoroughly
republican President, intends to exer-
else a grandpa's privilege Of calling on
his grandchildren without personal
bodyguard.
He has so informed Premier Pierre
Laval, who as minister OF the interior
Is titular chief of the secret service.
He also prefers to travel about France
as he pleases, without escort or brass
bands.
The septuagenarian President of
France has one daughter. married to
a country doctor, another welded to a
civil servant in the provinces. So when
he and Nine Doumer want to visit them
they Just get into their automobile
and roll down into the center OF France.
Permission from the cabinet, con-
stitutional guardian of the President,
was not easy to get. But M. Doumer
finally obtained it, after bit OF a
struggle, at a meeting Of the Council
of Ministers
"The President of the United States,
he argued, "goeS wherever he pleases
on personal visits"
In vain the assembled ministers
pleaded that they were responsible Tor
his personal safety. President Doumer
consented to notify the interior de-
partment, which has the police under
its direction, before starting out. but
stipulated that no advance notice should
be given to the newspapers.
Then he slipped out the back dooi
of the Elysee Palace. The police were
an hour learning that he had gone to
lunch at the home of an old friend
DR.. Armaingault, who has modest
apartment in the Latin quarter.
Besides eluding the secret service
men, M. Doumer is the despair of his
director of the protocol, M. Becq dc
Fouquieres.
In Paris or in the towns surrounding
this Summer retreat the President goes
about in an old soft hat, baggy BLACK
clothes and easy footwear.
M. de Fouquieres, who has been the
sartorial conscience of four Presidents
in the past II years, signs for the days
of Deschanel and Doumergue. who were
always impeccably dressed-even to
their pajamas.

STOCKS IN ADVANCE.
ON SHORT COVERING.
Market Closes Strong, With
Activity Gaining in Final
Trading.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star

0pCCldl 0lbpdbCn 10 4HC OLdE.
NEW YORK, June 10-Under a
combination Of short covering and new
buying, the stock market worked grad
ually upward today, with the best
prices reached In the last hour. Most
OF the time the turnover was moderate,
but activity increased toward the close.
Traders were cheered by the better
tone in the commodity markets, par
ticularly cotton. They were influenced
by the declaration Of the regular divi-
dend on New York Central, by increased
car loadings for few individual rail-
roads, although the totals for all roads
were down again, and by better sales
reports from department and chain
stores.
Public utilities were the leaders in
the late trading, all the stocks In the
Eastern Seaboard combination being in
active demand. Electric power produc.
ton for this section was up, against
decrease elsewhere. Western Union was
in urgent demand toward the end. The
only soft spot was the gold mining
stocks
The important news of the morning
was the declaration of the regular
dividend by the N. Y. Central direc-
tors. At the last meeting of the board
the rate had been reduced from an So
to $6 annual basis, and in view of
the traffic conditions it had been feared
that further reduction would be made
today. Maintenance Of the rate was
considered an expression of confidence
In the outlook and brought a sharp
rally In the stock of three or four
points, part of which was lost after
ward
Aside from the Central dividend
there was little stimulating in the
news. Loadings we're down AL cars
from the preceding week and 149,l3
cars from the corresponding week year
ago. The railroads are expected to
apply for higher rates and there is
still discussion of a wage decrease Be-
sides N. Y. Central, railroad shares
ranged higher, but were extremely in
active.
Steel stocks could not have been
helped by the weekly trade reviews
They made the rate Of operations under
40 per cent, against AZ per cent last
week, the loss being due mostly to
falling of in demand from the automo-
bile manufacturers. The United States
Steel untitled tonnage statement as of
May 81 came out at noon. 1t showed
a decrease of 277,277 tons, from
3,897,729 to 3,620,452.
The most hopeful indications came
from the retail trade, where buying was
said to have been on large scale since
the recent reduction in prices.

 at the YMCA Addressed the Sigma Em-Y on Playing Game

Playing the Game Square" was the subject presented to the Sigma Em-Y Club, by Rev Oscar Locke, of Oakville. last night at the Cen. tral Y. M. c. A. Forty older em- ployed boys enjoyed the new angle of, play presented by Rev MI Locke which dwelt upon the dis proportions" of play. Play, is a great thing" said Rev Mir Locke, "in fact, very necessary to a complete life but 1t must be well balanced to be of greatest value" The speaker cited instances where "dispropor- tions" caused harm as: A little girl who ate all her Easter eggs at once rather than in small lots, which caused her to become sick in health as we'll as sick of Easter eggs. An other instance was the explosion of a powder plant in Penn. All that energy gone to naught, whereas if it had been proportioned in small let's in the right channels could De used for many useful things.
 His final illustration was one in which he compared the "dispropor- tionate athlete" with a wagon wheel in which one-fourth of the wheel is missing. As 1t revolves around 1t causes the wagon to bump. So it Is in life, unless we are careful to selves against "lopsidedness' in one phase of the game. we are quite apt to be like the bumpy wagon wheel.
