STOCK MARKET BUSINESS SMALL Practically All Issues Open Fractionally Higher. NEW TORK. April 11.—A further Improvement in the week-end bank statements and the better advices from England regarding the coal strike crisis were Influential in causing advances from fractions to 1 point at the opening of the stock market today. Business was on a very small scale, however. General Asphalt rose 1 point to 61%. Studebaker advanced nearly 1 point to 77 and United States Rubber rose % of a point to 73%. Steel common was unchanged at 81. Baldwin and Crucible hung around Saturday’s closing level. Mexican Petroleum rose to 140, while Royal Dutch sold up over 2 points to 60%. Atlantic Gulf, after selling up % of a point,to 36%, quickly lost this advance. Th-' rails were fractionally higher. The iyegular tone of the market in the firstMlfteen minutes was followed by activity and strength in many issues, despite the fact that the renewal rate for call money was fixed at 7 per cent, the highest for several weeks. Sears-Roebuck was in demand, advancing over 2 points to "5%. while American Linseed was weak, falling 3 .points to 45. The motor stocks were strong. The steel issues also showed a better tone. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 11— VTe had another dull session in the stock mnrket Saturday. During the first hour there w-as practically no commission house business to speak of, with the exception of some liquidation in Pennsylvania Railroad. The professional element, who have, in the past, taken advantage of the absence of commission house business, apparently were not disposed to do much. Later in the session there was a moderate amount of liquidation, as well ns professional selling of Northern Pacific and Great Northern. The Industrials as a rule were steady, and subsequently there was an improvement In a number of active Issues. Considering prevailing conditions here and the serious statp of affairs in Engtnd, the stock market Is displaying remarkable stability and can only be explained on the theory that because conditions are so very serious, that any change over the weekend is likely to be for the better. It is just likely that In the near future the market operations will disclose a few more weak spots during which time liquidation will be completed, and then the market will simply rest on its present foundation until the changes have occurred in foreign affairs and In business to warrant greater activity and an Increase in the investment demand for our securities.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT. Good rains on the Bth again put highland fields in good condition for plowing and seeding. Weather conditions before)/ that date were very favorable fur all uut--1 dour work and spring crops. Considerable sod ground is being I broken for corn this spring and more 'corn land than usual has been prepared at this time. But little old corn is going to market. Some wheat fields in northern Indiana have been disposed to oats, but generally the crop looks to be in excellent condition, although Hessian fly is prevalent In all sections of the State. Very little spring wheat Is being planted this year according to reports. Seeding of oats progressed rapidly during the first five days of last week and the work is more than half completed at this time, farmers state. Indications now point 1 to about the usual acreage. The condition of rye is very satisfactory. More clover than usual has been seeded this spring. Young clover was injured to some extent by a severe freeze March 29. Other hay crops and pastures are looking good. Tobacco beds are being prepared in the southern counties of tbe State. Present indications point to a decrease in acreage. Damage to fruit by the freeze of March 29 is now thought not to be as great as was at first reported. Spring litters are larger than usual and pigs are strong and healthy. All other stock Is in good condition. The supply of farm labor U considerably In excess of demand.

SLUMP STRIKES GRAIN MARKET Large Offerings Cause Weakness After Strong Start. CHICAGO, April 11. —Most grain prices on the Chicago board .of trade today opened higher but large offerings throw'n on the market caused a slump later. Provisions went lower with the grains. May wheat opened at $1.34%, up %c, and closed at 128%. July wheat opened up %c at $113.% and declined 3c at the close. May corn opened up %c at 60%c and fell 2%e at the close. July corn was up %c at the opening at 63%c and declined to oi%c. September corn opened up %c at 66%c, later declining to 64%c. May oats opened off %c at 37%c and closed at 37c. July oats opened off %c at 39%c and dropped %c at the close. September oats opened up l%e at 40%c and closed at 39%c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 11Wheat—Freezing temperatures over a goodly portion of the wheat belt strengthened the July delivery, but brought no important buying. Foreign demand for old wheat was again reported from the seaboard, but volumes of business closed was small. There were persistent rumors, both from the seaboard and from the southwest, of offers to re-sell, by exporters. Southern hemisphere wheat is quoted slightly eheaper than United States varieties. Receipts of cash wheat in southwestern markets are quite liberal, while the demand is slow. Premiums in this market were unchanged for red wheat and about 1 cent lower on the hard winter, two red selling at 5c over May. 2 hard at 7c to 9c over. The market Ignores minor items of news, the trad.e being more willing to give thought to the industrial situation, particularly that now In evidence in England. This one condition overshadows everything else and is responsible for a practically complete disap pearance of investment demand or provision for .he future. It will be neces sary for a settlement of the trouble abroad, or the appearance of some very radical crop news, to revive the confidence of those who believe that the. surplus of wheat in this country will be weft^al.austed. Corn and Oats —Receipts of both corn ar.d oats from the country are so small as to necessitate a somewhat better basis for the bids going to the country or purchases to arrive. This strengthening of the cash position is not folowed by enlnrgeinenrt of the distributing demand It stems to be rather generally accepted that prices are below a reproduction, as well ns a production basis, but at the same time, this does not result in any demand with the idea of higher prices in the future. Both of these markets are neglected. Provisions The strength in provisions and hogs Saturday is considered a natural reaction. The entire market is dominated by the pessimistic feeling prevailing iu grains. CHICAGO GRAIN. —April 11— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Cotton Letter NEW YORK, April 11.—The prospect for a settlement of the labor controversy in England was undoubtedly the chief cause for the strength in the Liverpool market this morning, though reports from Monchester show improved condition and a better demand for goods. Trade iu this country has not made the progress that was anticipated and some of the reports from the New England textile district are rather pessimistic. The point Is made that owing to the difference in wages between the New England and southern mills, the southern mills are getting an advantage in business. Although prices were substantially higher here, there was no great activity at any time during the session. In the event of a further advance we would suggest protit-taking on long cotton.

Women Deny They Dress Immodestly LONDON, April 11.—English women are up In arms over the statements of several prominent clergymen about the immodesty of present-day dress. “I cannot think where they have seen the dresses that they describe," said Lady Alexander, generally considered to be London's best-dressed woman. “I think that modern women’s dress is charging and more modest than it has been for generations. In addition to the hygienic value that it has gained in recent years." PICTURESQUE ART OF LIVING Civilized Methods Benefit Heathen Nations but Little. SHOULD BE LET ALONE —j WASHINGTON, D. C.—Thousands of wealthy persons are now booking trips to Hawaii and a good many to Tahiti and other South Sea islands. These places, of which you seldom heard a few years ago, are now In all the prints. Numerous books are written about them. Pictures of them are painted. They are the fad. And the romantic element In each ot these places—the real center of Interest — Is a native population which still wears picturesque clothes and follows picturesque native customs. The civilized man seems suddenly to have discovered that the primitive man is an interesting chap, worth knowing for his own sake. When you come to think about it, this attitude toward the Tahitians and the Hawaiians is probably the beginning of a great change in the attitude of civilization toward savagery. Only consider what the attitude toward the savage has been in the past. First he must be conquered. Every savage or primitive people on the face of the globe has been more or less shot up by some civilized nation. Then the savage must be civilized. He must be given clothes and religion. He must be taught to farm and make change. Incidentally, he has nearly always been introduced to whisky, morphine, cocaine, tuberculosis, and various other perquisites of civilization. The civilizing process has been almost as hard on the savage as being conquered. The classic case of the ilawailaus who were induced by the missionaries to wear clothes, with the result that they all caught cold and many of them died, is typical. It may be said tnat almost no part of civilization has really benefited the savage. He simply isn't ready for it. His only hope of survival is to be allowed to go on being a savage in peace. And that is what, at least, the civilized man seems inclined to let him do.

ARTISTS COMES TO AID OF SAVAGE. It really teens to be the artist who has come to the rescue of the savage. Take the case of Tahiti. Some years ago a* French painter named Gauguin ivent to that remote island. He stayed there the rest of his life, living with the natives and painting them. He became famous. lie suddenly called the attention of the civilized world to the fact that the Tahitians were a most picturesque and beautiful people, who should be preserved as they are, like any other wonderful nature, not converted into commonplace civilized persons. Then i Somerset Maugham, an English novelist, wrote a novel* based on the life of Gauguin, and In this he told most effec- ; tively how the great artist, battered bj the ugliness of commercialism, had found beauty and peace in the tropica, island. Third came another artist In words, Frederick O’Brien, and wrote a book abotit Tahiti and neighboring islands which was one of the most popular travel books ever written. In effect all three • of these artists were apologists for the savage as he ts. They said, in the first place, that he is a picturesque and interesting fellow, who is not bothering any one, and who ought to be ailowed to live his life as he pleases both for his own sake and for that of the rest of humanity. In the second place, these artists Intimated that perhaps civilization is not such a blessed thing as it is crack up to be—that possibly the civilized man could even learn something about the art of living from the savage. Such a thought wnuld have been considered insane a generation ago. Today it is merely regarded as mildly heretical. The new and thriving science of anthropology also corner to the support of the artist in this contention. The anthropologists have been studying primitive men with unusual zeal. They find that in some respects at least he may be considered the superior of the civilized man. For Instance, the primitive man has a better sense of beauty. His pottery, his weavings, his dwellings, his dances, his ceremonies, are all picturesque and often of high artistic merit. In civilization the real appreciation of beauty seems to be limited to a very few. The majority of us have lost all taste. The things we use and wear, the houses we live In, our dances and ceremonies ar,e for tbe most part ugly aud often even grotesque. NOSE RINGS AND IIOBRLE SPIRTS. One woman scientist, Elsie Clews Parsons, has gone still further and shown that most of the queer beliefs, customs, taboos and superstitions of primitive life, which we ridicule, survive in some form in civilization. She has shown that the hobble skirt is a very near relation to the nose ring. Some of our lively "parties” are savage orgies with little changed except the costumes. Many, if not most of our politicians, are medicine men and the heap big medicine they offer us is no better than the dope the tribal shamans band out. In a word, there is reason to suspect that we are not as far ahead of the savages as we thought we were. The savages seem to have suspected this all along. They, have clung to their own way of life and rejected our civilization with the utmost determination. An excellent example of the whole process is afforded by the Pueblo Indians of our own Southwest. The Spaniards began trying to civilize them nearly 500 years ago. They toiled unremittingly for several centuries and then the Yankees took up the good work. The Pueblos staged one big revolt and drove all the white men out of the country, but they were not good fighters and ultimately they settled down to passive resistance. It has been astonishingly successful. After four or five centuriesf of hard work by two great civilized nations, the Pueblo is in all essentials unchanged. Although a church stands in every pueblo, the Pueblo Indian still worships his primitive gods. Although a school stands there, too, he remains gloriously Ignorant of books. He still weaves and wears his own blankets, builds his own bouse, makes his own pottery, cultivates the ground and huntr the wild things as his fathers did. Taos Pueblo in New Mexico today is just as Coronado described It in the seventeenth century. Now artists have begun to flock to that vicinity, and there is a growing movement to let the Pueblo be as he is, fol his own sake, and for the sake of art. The artists and the Indians got nlong admirably together. Both of them have a fine appreciation of color and of natural beauty and of the mystery of nature. Both of them dislike the restraints and the ugliness of civilization. It may be that after soldiers, missionaries and educators have failed the artist will be the savage's oalvatlon.

MAY BE CA*JP§ ONE LUCKY^H Interesting Stories Told Ly* Keeper of Animals at Executive Mansion.

By FREDERICK J. HAD KIN. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Laddie Boy Is a name which will figure prominently In White House annal3 during the Harding Administration. We have, therefore, seized an early opportunity to cali at the. Executive Mansion to interview this important young member of the Harding household. After following clews from the executive offices to the White House basement and down tbe portrait-lined corridors in search of the elusive Laddie Boy we finally located the official keeper of the President's pets, Wilson Jackson. Jackson smiled broadly at our mission ! and led the way to an inner ball away from the crowds of tourists doing tfca | White House basement. He opened iu door and called: “Heah, Laddie Boy," and a black and tan Airedale galloped out and fell upon us. After enthusiastic greetings and an exchange of compliments the party calmed down somewhat. Laddie Boy shook hands after Insistent demands from Jackson, who has already taught him to come, lie down, and shake abnds on command. The White Hause ; Airedale is only a year and a half old | and is very much of a puppy. On ac- ' count of his youth and frequent lnterrup- ' tions as White House maids and clerks passed and hailed him, his valet did most ; of the talking. "Yessuh," said Jackson, “this Is the first animal turned ovah to me since Mistah Hardin’ came. He's a fine dog. The man that gave him to Mistah Hardin’, back in Ohio, is gola’ to sen’ his pedigree. “I been tol’ there’s an alligator cornin’. I’m glad the dog got heah first. “Yesfuh, I reckon 1 will have charge of that alligator. I’ll have to keep him In tbe fountain. I understan’ Mistah Hardin’ 's goln’ to have a bull dog too, but it hasn't come yet. "Yessuh, I like dogs.—Heah, Laddie Boy—come back heah. Everybody that works round heah stops to talk to that dog. and he is just so friendly he wanders off with them. “Me? I been heah since President Roosevelt's time. Yessuh. I had enough experiences to fill a geography. I was a kid workin’ at the Census Bureau/and when they wanted a messenger at the White House in a rush season I was eent up. An’ then Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt said they liked me, so they bad me put on the regular roll of White House employees. “My title? I'm Special Messenger to the First Lady in the Lan'. Sometimes I go shoppin’ to get things in a hurry An’ I take messages. It's a diplomatic kin’ of a Job. . "But mostly the dogs 'll keep me ! now. I Like Laddie Boy up to President Hardin's olfice every day, and ho stays with the President a while, and then I go call the dog out. An Airedale is mostly a one-man dog. and whila lie’s friendly with everybody, Mistah Hardin’ is his ruastah.” Jackson is more of an expert in han- : dling dogs and horses than some of tho more unusual pets that have been given the freedom of the White House grounds. Jackson says he never was on intimate terms with Pauline, the cow of Taft’s regime. Nor did he have much to do with Mr. Wilson's flock of sheep which grazed so pieturesqeuly on the White House lawn. But In Roosevelt’s administration Jac-kson was a busy man. Not only did the executive mansion possess guinea pigs, a pony, trick mice, a kangaroo rat, and a collection of dogs, but Jackson was expected to help look out for the Roosevelt children as well. He played with them, and sometimes aeompanied them when they rode, and he had some of the care of the Icelandic pony, Algonquin. Jackson tells the story, wh*h you may remember, how when Archie Roosevelt was sick in bed with the measles, ha mised his pony so much that the servants decided to take Algonquin as a suit, prise up tc his room. “That pony wasn't much bigger than • Mg dog,” says Jackson. “We got him In the elevator and elevated him upstairs, and took him into Mistah Archie’s bedroom. The pony trotted right ovah to him and they had a fine time together. Mistah Archie certainly did love that Algonquin pony.” The Roosevelt children kept Jackson on the jump, but he enjoyed it. The pet* were very much a part of the household and were accounted of considerable Importance. They were a constant topic of family tonversation. When one died it must be bnried with formal pomp in a reserved corner of the White House grounds, and a disappearance was a cause for commotion. In one instance, a small black and tan dog was lost. It boasted no noble pedigree, but Quentin loved it devotedly, and mourned its loss with increasing gloom as the days went by and It was not found. Finally, someone reported that a dog answering the widely advertised description was at the city pound. Scarcely stopping for hats, Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin set off on foot for ths pound. The dug proved to be a stranger, but Quentin held it and talked to it all the time that Mrs. Roosevelt was consulting with the official. She inquired the fate of the dog that looked so much like Quentin’s, and when she was told that it would be killed soon, as it had not been claimed, she paid for it and Quentin struggled home with It In his arms. Any one who lives In the spotlight at tbe White House Is a target for the gifts of the Nation. The Roosevelt family's love for animals brought them a more congloemrate collection than any other President has ever been called upon to accept with thanks. But not even the RoosevelL. with their fondness for pets, could keep some of the gift animals, One man who heard that Mr. dog was whipped in a fight sent a huge, vicious looking bulldog, and assured the President that while he had this dog, the White House honor would never suffer at the hands of any mongrel outsider. Mr. Roosevelt soon saw that the bull pup could not be trusted to confine his fighting to dogs, and that it lacked judgment. It coulu never be trusted to distinguish between a Cabinet officer and an office seeker. So the dog bad to go, but the Roosevelts found a home for It. Mr. Roosevelt also received a zebra and several tigers which he turned over to the National Zoological Park, to Jackson's relief. "I like animals on general principles," says Jackson, “but I prefers ’em tame.” He fell to thinking—we imagine about the advent of tbe alligator. “Mistah Hardin's goin’ ridin’? Yessuh. right away! Heah, Laddie Boy, the President wants yo\" Laddie Boy departed in state for his dally drive.
