ANgRIA AAAp ASNNp S@
Somebody has written lugubri-
GUS song about when I Grow
Too Old to Dream; but up TO
date nobody has even intimated
in poetry or prose that an Amer
lean citizen ever grows too old to
vote, and take a keen interest N
a national election campaign.
Ask any of my fellow old-timers,
who cast our first vote back in
1880, when Gen. James A. Gar
field was elected president. Ask
them whether sixty years Of CAM
paigning and voting under the
American flag and Constitution,
has abated their enthusiasm.
You know the answer-TheyIl
be in the parades and in their
voting booth this year Of Ameri-
can independence, 164-as usual,
even If they have to be toted
around in benZine-buggy. And
they will hail the millions Of
young first voters Of 1910, with un-
bounded pride and confidence in
their fitness to safeguard our
priceless American heritage.
Democracy Triumphant
Yes, the land we love will give
bewildered Europe this year, an
other magnificent demonstration
of triumphant democracy in the
Western Hemisphere; when, in
November, forty million free men
and free women will assemble at
their voting places in orderly
manner and exercise their sover-
eign will and power.
We who cast our first vote in
1880, we're children of the Civil
War, who we're at home with our
women folks while our men-folks
were away, fighting to save the
Union.
After IS years, our remembrance
OF that tragic period naturally
seems more like a weird dream.
But that fateful dream, In
spite OF its heart-breaking sad
ness, is eternally radiant and
sacred with the reality of Gods
blessing and mans fidelity and
sacrifice and Woman's steadfast
devotion.
We recall out of the dim past
one memorable occasion, in 1863,
when our mother read aloud from
the days newspaper-words, that
had never been set in type he
fore; words-so plain that even
we children could understand,
with a cadence SO solemn and
beautiful, that they sounded like
verses from the Bible
Today, those words" are print
ed in every language on earth.
Today, every American citizen
loves and cherishes those words,
and every American boy and girl
commits them lovingly to memory.
And we, who we're children then,

wood rather than iron or steel, a
forestry conference at Massachu-
sets State college was told ,oday.
DR.. Arthur Koehler, chief of the
Silvicultural relations division of the
U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at

veloped successful seasoning of
wood without checking in common
salt solution SO that it may be sub

Struction.
He said architects and engineers
after efficiency tests feel confident
of making greater use of wood in
highway bridges, fire and radio tow

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The stock
market ran into a little profit-tak-
ing trouble today and, except fa
sustained firmness of steels anc
scattered industrial favorites, early
gains of fractions to a point or Sc
were wiped out in many cases al
the close.
Further rising tendencies were
displayed in virtually all depart
ments in the forenoon. Dealings
occasionally speeded up, both in
advancing and declining periods
Transfers for the five hours were
around 100000 shares.
Optimism generally continued 10
most speculative circles. This, IL
was said. emanated mainly from
more encouraging European wal
dispatches and from the home bust
ness front where huge defense
spending seemingly was beginning
to take hold in numerous corpora
tons The days principal foreign
news involved in the British cabinet
shake-up was interpreted construc.
lively marketwise as indicating more
tightly drawn offense and defense
against the Nazis.
At that, the approach Of another
week end and the fact price trends
have been up in the four previous
sessions was thought to have in
duced some customers to tighten
accounts.
Best share performers were United
States Steel. Bethlehem, Montgom-
cry Ward, Sears Roebuck. J. C
Penney, Douglas Aircraft, Eastern
Air Lines, United Air Lines, Dow
Chemical, Du Pont, Market Street
Railway preferred. Budd Manufac-
turing preferred, Pullman. Baldwin
Locomotive and U. S. Gypsum. Somt
of these lost ground at the finish
General Motors was fast mover
on blocks of 1000 shares or SO, but
the stock didn't get far in front.
A bit backward were Westing-
house, Kennecott, Chrysler, United
States Rubber, Deere, Allied Chemi-
cal. Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Loft. Rails. utilities and cop
pers were narrow.

D. {. Postal Receipts
For September Drop
Below 1889 Mark
Nine Months TotuI
Shows S244, 05l Gain
Over Lost Year
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

September postal revenues in the
Capital amounted to S651 1874 in
comparison with s673927.65 in Sep
TENDER, 1899, a decrease of s22, 54O.22
or 3.34 per cent, it was reported at
the City Post Office today.
This was the first month in 1910
that has not witnessed an increase
in postal income over the CORE
spending month a year ago. One
fewer business days in September
this year largely accounted for the
drop, officials explained, as the aver
age days receipts run around S21,-
900 and $4,000.
September, 1889, was also a par
ticularly good month for postal re-
turns. In spite of the modest Sep
TENDER decrease, postal earnings in
every month so far this year have
crossed the 100000 mark, a new
record.
In the first nine months of 1910
revenues totaled S5.253,71f against
S4,987,1 25 in the like 1899 period,
an increase of S244,051. With the
largest monthly receipts yet to come,
the full year 1910 will produce a
total we'll above 1899. Comparisons
by months so far in 1910, with last
wear, follow:
