JUST 4 HORSE

WHY all this fuss and publicity about
w race horse who dies?
As much has been published about
Phar Lap as would be If some noted
statesman died, and more than some
great scientist might get.
1t might be explained that in his par
ticular line Phar Lap was a genius and
any genius is entitled to more than ordi-
nary comment. He was an outstanding
horse towering above the best American
steeds as the Statue of Liberty towers
above New York shipping.
Just a horse, but even that is worth
writing about.
Phar Lap neither bought nor sold rot
ten liquor in violation of the law. He
never operated at the business end of
machine gun. He never grumbled about
the station in which he found himself in
life but went ahead silently doing his
best. He cheated no man nor did he lie
or steal. He didn't hate or seek to in
lure somebody else just because they
didn't agree in political or religious be-
liefS.
He didn't spread scandal about his
neighbors, whether it was true or untrue.
He was a stranger in a strange land but
he did not go about seeking to over
throw the institutions which he found
here and which made 1t possible for Phar
Lap to do the things he was supposed to
do.
Honor and glory came to him but they
did not make him arrogant or cause him
to consider himself superior to others.
He competed against others but his COM
petition was clean and above board, un-
soiled by trickery or deceit.
He was just a horse, but there is so
much to admire in any horse above what
we can admire in some who are their
masters, that it is a pleasure to add a lit
tie more to what is written about the
noble Phar Lap.

a few weeks he probably will envy Uncle
Andy" his nice job as ambassador

NEW YORK, August 16.-Curb Ex-
change stocks advanced into new high
ground for the recovery in active trad
ing today. Gains of to 3 points were
spread throughout the list of active
stocks.
The market opened sharply higher,
on new buying and rush of shorts to
cover. Electric Bond g. Share, on which
dividend action is to be taken Wednes-
day, was outstandingly strong. 1t estab-
lished a new top for the movement at
the opening and quickly was bid up
above 25. Later it sold off but was
still higher on the day
The general advance in securities
has done much to improve the position
of holding companies such as Electric
Bond & Share, notably in the matter
of bank loans secured by deposit Of
collateral At the June lows many
bank loans were forced out because
of the depreciation of collateral behind
them. Today the reverse is true. Hence
Wall Street believes the prospects for
Electric Bond e. Shares dividend have
been considerably improved.

D. c. SCHOOL BIDS
ACTION TOMORROW
Commissioners to Consider
Rejection of All or Trans.
ferring Funds.

The District Commissioners at their
regular meeting tomorrow viii take up
the problem of whether to reject all
bids for construction Of an eight-room
addition to the Bancroft School, New
ton near Sixteenth street, and read
vertise the contract or whether to
award the contract to the lowest bidder
by alloting to the work extra money
from unexpended balances on other
school contracts.
The lowest bid, put in by the Mas
Construction Co. of Baltimore, 500, 800,
exceeds the amount available for the
Job. The Buy-in-W Washington Council
has urged that the bids be rejected and
the work readvertised, because In that
event the work might 60 to q local
bidder. The next low bidder is the
Northeastern Construction Co., also Of
Baltimore, which bid S96,130. A local
contractor, Arthur L. Smith, put In the
next low bid of $97,317.
Under the law, the contract may be
let If there Is enough money saved on
other school contracts in the 1888 ap-
preparation bill, but the savings must
be on the basis of contracts already let.
Whether enough is available is not yet
known, but the figures are being studied
by District Auditor Daniel j. Donovan,
and the action of the Commissioners
will be based on his report.
