TImportant stocks made substantial recoveries to- day from their abrupt reversal of the previous session the rebound resulting largely if not entirely from the very favorable tenor of supplementary war bulletins. The short interest, which recently attained formidakle proportions, con- tributed in' considerable degree to the rally, traders hurriedly covering their contracts in steels, marines and other speculative favorites. All the activity occurred in the first and final hours, the market meantime pursuing a dull and narrow course, with occasional nominal reactions. Fi- nal prices were mostly at the day's maximums, U. S. Steel, marine prefer- red, tobaccos and various specialties rising spiritedly in the last fifteen minutes. U. S. Steel's best quotation of 105 1-2 represented a rally of 4 points from low quotation of vesterday, that stock closing at a net gain of 2 1-8 Kindred industrials and equipments registered similar advances. Rails made little headway until to- ward the end. when Reading and Union Pacific developed some activity, the former gaining 1 5-4 points.

Doings in the Auto World Auto Driver Makes Good in the Air— War Time Autoing in France. That automobile racing men make good aviators is evidenced in the re- ported aerial victory of Eddie Rick- enbacher, famous American speedway driver, over his first German birdman. “Rick” went to France with the first contingent of expeditionary forces, as official driver for General Pershing,] but his real ambition was to become a flyer, and he soon enlisted in the American Flying Corps. It is safe to say that, although no uproad of ap- plause greeted his return from his first aeria] victory, as in the days when racing car shot past the grand- stand, a winner, his satisfaction was as keen as when big purses and sil- ver trophies awaited him. “The tremendous demand for trained mechanics - for truck and airplane work, on the automobile industry by , has thinned out the e men to a point where most dealers have to get along with considerably. reduced forces,” says a local automobile distributor. “This means that owners of cars must do for themselves many of the small odd jobs of cleaning and adjusting which it has been their habit to have done in the garage. “There is really no reason why this practice of running to the garage for every little attention a car may need, should ever have been established. It is simply one of the bad habits left over from the early days of the busi- ness when people did not know much abouf automobiles. Progress has been| made along other lines; other bad habits have been overcome and it per- haps is a good thing that present con- ditions are going to force the elimina- tion of this one. Among the many accounts which have come to us of soldier life in France, the similarity of which has been more or less marked, the one brought back by C. T. Hutchins, is particularly interesting, in that it treats of motoring conditions as they exist in France today. As a driver for a staff officer he be- came familiar with the entire battle front and obtained the broad outlook of the allied situation. * During his six months’ service he was attached to the transportation departments of the French, English, Belgian, Portuguese and American forces and wore the uni- forms of all of them. His story fol- lows, in part. “When I volunteered I anticipated the pleasure of driving the wonderful | makes of foreign cars of which I had | heard so much. But I'was soon dis- appointed. Foreign manufacturers | turned out practically no cars for pub- lic use during the ‘last four years,| their output being exclusively for theiri governments. So little advance has been made in design. -But their power plants are fine—we have no better motors. “Where American cars excell is in the refinements and conveniences, such as the self starter, electric light, easily nandled top, demountable rim, etc. Most of the tires I saw were of the smooth or steel studded type and even in the large sizes were clinchers. And believe me, I nearly faint when I think of some of the terrible times I have had, in surroundings none too pleas- ant trying to change the things. The modern no-hook or straight side tire they know very little about. “I have been in parts of France where an automobile was an absolute curiosity and' excited no end ‘of shy interest on the part of the villagers The peasant children would almost go into hysterics when I sounded the horn or turned on the lights. ¥ “in :one French town the mayor gathered together some of the lead- ing men and gave a dinner in my honor, so glad were they for some visible evidence that American soldiers were in their country. I happened to be the first American soldier that had entered their city. “It is next impossible to get thej slightest repair or adjustment outside | of a regular automobile park. These parks. operated by all armies, where supplies are kept and repairs made, are situated at various points. Once I broke down at Angers, in peace times a city of 80,000 population, but being unable to obtain a repair, was compelled to go back to Paris. by train and bring out a mechanic and parts. “French gasoline, or ‘essence’ as it is called there, is not as good as the gasoline we get here, and it goes hard with American cars. American trucks apd passenger cars are coming to ence in large numbers, and one sees practically every make of auto- moble there. French roads, outside the war zone, are beautifully lined with fine old trees.” We have much to learn |can't blame him.

The Household Teleplone 531-4 ——————————————————————————————————————— The rush of summer work brings the housewife many -days when, can and dry as she may, she cannot handle all the products that come piling in. A bucket of brine will save the extra and keep it for a less busy season when more time is available to prepare it for use. Brining is one of the oldest and easiest metods of saving garden prod- ucts, but since the development of im- proved canning methods very little use has been made of this means of pres- ervation. This summer every house- wife should know the possibilities cf brining, for dglayed deliveries on jars or bad weather for drying may other- wise mean the ‘loss of many pounds of perishable products. A brine made in the proportion of 2 pounds of ealt to 1 gallon of water, a scalded crock or bucket, a cloth, a plate or board, and a weight com- plete the brining equipment. For best results vegetables should be blanched for 5 minutes before brining. The product is put in the container and the brine added. Then the cloth is put over the top and the board or plate weighed down on it to hold the solid material below the surface of the liquid. The brine is strong enough to act as a preservative without causing any change in the food. Vegetables preserved in this way may be brought back later by’soaking a few hours in fresh water.

Every time I rode in one of these old timers I though of the wonderful service they performed in 1914, when they carried the poilus out to the Marne: in time to stem the spectacular advance of the Germans.

SPORTING NOTES Babe Ruth went hitless Saturday for the first time since July 5th. Bidwell, tackle on the N. F. A, '16 eleven, will enter Brown in the fall. The Shore Line team will go to é'anuc to play the Yantic team Fri- ay. Freddy Hawthorne struc: the nail on the head when he said the softest job in the world was sewing stars on the Willard family’s service flag. The outfielders of the American League will hold a meeting Sunday to decide whether or not they will de- mand carfare on Babe Ruth’s drives. Jonathan Johnson, star quarter and haif-miler of the N. F.

Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Toledo club- of the-American Associa- tion. has changed his mind about be- ing his own first string catcher. Bres- nahan realizes that his legs have gone back on him. George O'Neil, the kid catcher sent by the Giants to Nashville, already has clinched berth for himself with that club. He made good without de- lay and another catcher was released to make room for him.

The Y. M. C. A. has mobilized 144,- 000 baseball bats for use of the Am- erican soldiers overseas. This spring the back yards behind the fighting front will resound to crack of bats and cries of “at a boy” when “Sammy” is not otherwise occupied.

Tax on Baseball Admissions. Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh has issued a synopsis of the decisions of the commissioner ternal revenue tax as it relates to ad- missions to baseball games. A num- ber of questions regarding the pay- ment of tax have been brought to Col- lector Walsh and he has referred a number of them to the commissioner.
