Charts in Stock Market
One of the most hopeful signs of late has
been the Increased domand for railroad stocks
of the better sort those of Industrial establish
ments engagod in producing the common neces
sities of life aa distinguished from purely specu
lative concerns and plants doing business of a
temporary character, such as war material.
Purely speculative stocks will always have an
attraction for the gambler, and the big profits
of the war babies will doubtless 'sustain a de
mand for them from a certain class, but it is
encouraging that the great mass of the Invest
ing public has turned Its attention to securities
which rest on a permanent foundation. If the
United States is to derive any lasting benefit In
an industrial way from the European war its
resources must be devoted to those enterprises
which are adapted to times of peace and to per
manent development and the trend of. invest
ment back to these lines Is a good symptom.
There Is an ample field here' toy, all the capital
of the country, and If it finds Its way Into that
field the nation will be prepared for the read
justment that must come Immediately with the
conclusion of the European war.
. Tilting1 Lid on School Bonds.
The attorney general of the state has given
an opinion In which he holds that the people
have been mistaken in their Idea that the law
fixed a limit upon the Issuance of bonds by
school districts In cities of more than 1,600 pop
ulation. It had been supposed the limit on
tctal indebtedness to II per cent of the assessed
valuation of the district applied to all districts
alike. Such restrictions, like all ironclad rules
or laws, sometimes work harm, but in the larger
sonse they are a beneficial check upon extrava
gant and reckless financing. Taxpayers still
have some legal safeguards, however, one of
which that bond Issues must have the prior In
dorsement of the voters, and even If this were
swept away the natural laws of business come
lo the rescue, for school districts, like individ
uals, cannot borrow money beyond what buyers
consider their ability to pay and the law pro
hibits the sale of bonds below par. With these
restrictions still In force, It is not likely many
schools districts, at least, will be burdened with
tond issues much above the former supposed
limit .
Virility of the Foreifn Born.
The report of the registrar of vital statistics
in New York presents some figures that will
compel students. of social economy to revise
their estlmatea and opinions. It has long been
a recognised fact that the birth rate In foreign
born families In this country is higher than In
families of native-born, and particularly In those
whose residence here covers several generations,
but the popular Impression is contradicted by
tne fact that the death rate among the children
of foreign-born parents is lower. The statistics
gathered In New Tork show that the death rate
in children under B years of age la foreign-born
families was seventy-one per thousand, while In
native families it was seventy-nine, "the lowest
being la Russian Jewish families. - These fig
ures are all the more startling when we consider
that the congested portions of the lty, where
health conditions are of the worst, contain a
larger portion of foreign-born than natives. If
these people can present such -a record under
adverse conditions, what would be the result if
they could have the average environment of the
native born? Kuch disclosures Invite specula
tion whether the so-called better living condi
tion In this country have been as conducive to
Ihyslcal development as they undoubtedly have
been to social betterment, and also what will be
te final type evolved from the melting pot of
rations.
As to Presidential Timber.
Former Senator Burton made a fine impres
sion while in Omaha upon democrats and repub
licans alike who met and heard him. Even the
local democratic organ concedes that he has la
him the making of a great president and be
Is but one of a number of amply qualified men
from among whom the next republloan national
convention will choose. Let no one repeat the
silly twaddle about the republican party suffer
ing a dearth of full-eUed presidential timber.'
In contrast with this, the democrats, be It noted,
have no one to compete with President Wilson,
and If be should take himself out of the running
their dilemma would envelop the democrats In
confusion worse confounded
Fake War Movies
1 Literary DIfeet.
WAJl-PICTURBa are even more popular In Great
Britain than here In America, and the English
people are now reported to be reveling In TlvH
war dramas which ar raked on the hillside and the
rolling downs of the south coast. A contributor lo
Popular Science Monthly tell us that clever mechani
cal devices, the unstinted us of electricity, spring
bayonet, gunpowder-bladders, and underground ex
plosive are used In the production of these war
pictures, which ar so realistic that they seem to
bear the earmarks of the French and Belgian trench
and the Polish battlefield. We read there as follows;
"Agricultural laborer, farmer' sons, nd village
youth, dressed In the uniform of the British and
Oerman armiea, are drilled in their new duties and
Initiated Into the mysteriaa of disappearing bayonets,
exploding fake shells, trench warfare, and make-be-Ileve
'gassing.' 8troll along a quiet, country foot
path bordering soma rolling grassland sloping to tho
sea and you may com upon a horde of yelling men
who spiked helmet and wicked looking bayonets
glint In the sunshine aa they c'targe toward you. If
you take cover nimbly and watch, you will see they
are rushing a trench filled with khakV-clad Brltlsn
soldiers, Tou shudder Involuntarily aa you ae those
glinting bayonet sinking Into human flesh three or
four tnchea, but you find later that the point are
protected with little felt button and that they ar
attached to th barrel end of the rifle by a spring
that allow them to retract several Inches upon strik
ing a solid substance.
"As the soldier ford a stream tn their mad charge,
columns of water splash high Into th air. After
awhile you realise that these column ar caused by
dropping shell from concealed artillery. Tou wonder
how it Is that an these country 'supers' are not
maimed or even killed until you find out that the
water column are caused by eleotiioally axplodod
bladders filled with gunpowder and hidden beneath
the surface of the stream. As th charging Oe
man' reach th opposite bank and make straight for
th 'British' machine runa, terrible explosions occur.
They ar th shells still "dropping from th British
artillery. Th explosion ar electrically controlled
by a stage director or producer, and are caused by
burying small carta of gunpowder her and there under
th ground to be rushed. At th proper moment th
fake mines are exploded by throwing a switch m
pressing a button, thus sending clods of earth, a
cloud of smoke, and a dummy figure or two Into th
air. All th vivid effects of a big shell bunting on
th ground ar thus obtained.
"To give to th moving-picture patron' an Idea of
the vast number of troop now In Franoa, th produc
er used aa Ingenious leather band machine, which,
la conjunction with a broad window built Into th
scenery wall, la all that Is necessary. Th spectators
In th theater ae women at th window waving out
to th departing troop. Th top of rifle with
bayonet fixed move past th window andr bob up and
down In a never-ending stream. Beneath th window,
concealed from th spectator, an operator turns a
leather band .passing over two fly-wheel about twelve
feet apart Attached to th top of the band ar rows
of bayonet. As th handle la turned th bayonets
move along with th realism of a marching regiment
rifle on shoulders, fastened, as they are, to th
leather band, which can be moved at any speed.
"In 'close-up picture of big explosives, such as
bridges, forts, an th like. It Is not polite for th
movie men to get too close; a chance projectile may
come their way. To overcome this difficulty th
camera la eet up In some adjacent spot and focused
upon th seen of th explosion. From a safe dis
tance the operator controls his camera by electrical
wires, the result being as satisfactory as If he bad
been on th brink of th eoane himself. 8o excellent
ar th picture of modern warfar' thus obtained by
producers In rural Britain that th motlon-plcture-tbeater
patrons cannot realise that motion picture
man are not allowed near th firing line In th thea
ters of war and that th restrictions imposed en th
producers prevent them from obtaining th real
thing tn France."

Mow to Catch Ciophers.
OMAHA, Nov. It. To the Elltor of Th
Beet I see so many fin lawns ruined by
gopher. Th thought cam to m that
people do not know how to catch them.
I want to tell all those Interested how to
rid themselves of this pest for 20 cents.
Buy a common steel rat trap and fasten
th chain te a block of wood. Th gopher
leaves a round mark Just over the hole,
so dig until you find th opening and
mak room for th trap to spring. Cover
trap lightly with fine dirt; be sure to
leave room under plate to spring the trap.
Take a board large enough to cover the
opening you have made and put a very
small hole In th center of board to ad
mit a little light - Put tha board over the
opening and cover all around to admit no
other light xoept through small hole In
the board. AUGUST BEERMANN.

Why the Wrestler Go F.Uewhere.
OMAHA, Nov. IX To th Editor of Th
Bee: Commissioner Dan Butler should
be proud of himself . for having driven
th Stecher-FIuasan wrestling match to
Lincoln by hi manipulation of the Audi
torium. On would think that a munici
pally owned Auditorium would be used
to help bring people te Omaha Instead
of as a club to drive them away. Lincoln
gets this match because of the announce
ment that the rate for wrestling matohes
would be $300, with a privilege of 10 per
cent of th receipts, Tht was after
ward reduced to 90 per cent and now I
understand th commissioner wilt mak
a straight rental proposition. But It te
too late to give Omaha a big day of sport
for Thanksgiving. When Stecher wrestled
her July 4 Omaha bad th biggest crowd
of state visitors of any day tt ever bad
outside of Ak-fiar-Ben. This match would
hav drawn more, but the business man
of Lincoln were quick to see the value
of th attraction, and they secured a
much larger building there and gave It
rent free. It O. A DAM 3.
Capital aag Labor.
OAKLAND. Ia.. Nov. IX To the Editor
of Hie Bee: Perhaps there is no ques
tion confronting us of more vital Im
portance than that of capital and labor.
Capital la today found in the hands of
comparatively few men. Labor Is the
capital, or stock in trade, of multiplied
millions. The foundation of the social
and business world rests largely In th
hands of tht latter class. The capital
ist furnishes the money while the la
borer performs the task that produces
reyilts.
. Then human hearts are needed In the
business world, with that of the employer
beating In sympathy with the employe.
No nation can rise above It home, and
th employer should know what kind of
a home the employe Is able to build on
the wage paid him, using a reasonable
degree of economy.
There are also features of rest and
proper recreation during the working
hour to consider, which creates a mutual
satisfaction that can com from, no other
source. Th aesthetio aid of life tn
home building we find in our parks,
country lanes and flowers by the wayside.
In th humble opinion of th writer,
when our men of wealth begin to think
and spend their money along the above
mentioned line there will be lea need of
"preparedness." ,
Capital and labor going hand In band
will mak th great United States a great
example of a Christian nation, that will
et the civilised world to thinking In the
