Patience was q word Laura often
used, both aloud ane in her
thoughts. She considered herself a
very patient person. while really
she was duite the reverse. She
wanted life to keep pace with her

were so many times when she felt
like catching people by the hair
and dragging them along with
her. At other times she felt life
slipping away from her and still
she had achieved nothing. And she
wanted to do so much. Right now
she wanted her library to succeed,
to become a literary center. She
could picture herself being invited
by one OF the inner magazines to
write an article IN the cultural
awakening which she had brought
into being.
In truth. she had been really pa

1Gift' Races
To Be Hailed
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

They're taking the Christmas
\tree down al the Detroit track
TOMORROW and there will be no
more out-of-seaSon gifts for those
running FLIES, Wilma Van and
Tell Well.
In an effort TO provide races in
which horSemen could run their
cheaper horses without danger of
having them claimed, Racing Sec
rotary Henry has been putting on
platter combination races, with no
claiming allowed.
These are the races in which
Wilma Van and Tell Well have
been having a field day, Wilma in
the Sprints and Tell We'll in the
distance races.
The main condition for these
races was that a horse must have
run in a $3.50 claiming race this
season. This was the stipulation
that enabled Tell Well to run up
four straight victories until her
streak was stopped yesterday
with a head defeat II has also
permitted Wilma Van 10 score

Suggestions Pay

If you have any doubts OF the
efficacy OF the employe sug-
gestion plan, which has speeded
production and effected savings
in most of Detroit'S war plants,
{. f. Wilson's recent report to
General Motors employees should
settle the question conclusively.
He stated that suggestions had
been received from $4,000 en-
ployes and the company had
paid out war bond awards
totalling 1885. 900 in 1913.
Among the highlights OF the
16-page illustrated report were
these fact: In 1913 GIN war
production amounted TO more
than three and a half billion
d ollars; total employment
during the year hit an all-time
peak and at years end 502, 900
persons were on the pay rolls;
in United States plants there
were 374,000 hourly rate en-
ployes. of whom $4,000 were
women; total pay rolls for the
year reached an all-time record
of ST, 1927 900. 600; and 1943 aver
age hourly earned wage rate for
GIN employees in the United
States was 26 per cent higher
than the average for all man.

IndusfriidIs
Firm Market

NEW YORK. May Is ms
An improved tone in the high
grade industrial stocks frmed up
the stock market in the noon hour
today after early weakness had
hit the rail and utility list.
Gains were not large but were
significant rather because OF the
quality Of the stocks in which they
were made. American Telephone
hit 160. new high for the year
in unusually active trading, and
General Motors did likewise AT so.
A block of 1000 shares crossed
the tape at that price. Chrysler
was another 10 hit new high for
1914, at S6L4.
Park a. Tilford common jumped
10 9Si, on the announcement OF
the liquor dividend. broke 10 90Ae
and then recovered to around 90.
Volume was only moderate. The
holiday next Tuesday will mean a
three-day pause for many traders
who will leave the street today.
Among leaders, steelS were
quiet. as were rails. Building
shares, communications and utili-
ties moved little except that the
latter division recovered early
losses midway in the session.
Bonds were firm.
