the fact that tho coming listing of the
Flemish lij'iin stock nn Monday represents
good arbitrage. Chevrolet Motor made a

It rallied to 228. Submarine dropped from

"Wo hear a lot about plans for peace," ho
said, "but as a matter of fact neither side

Gardening Expert, "Makes Good"
on Ilia Prediction
A severe frost shriveled tomato plants,
egg plants and other sensitive plunts early
this morning, it was unusually severe In
the suburbs, especially in Parhy.
Tho outstanding featuro of the frost was
that It was predicted by John Ilartram, the
widely-known writer on gardens in the
F.vknino LcnoHlt, whose home Is lu Darby.
On May 9 ho advised against planting to
matoes und other tender vegetables, pre
dicting a "sharp frost between May 10 and
May i!0."
Asled how ho kiew there vtould he fiost
today, Mr. Ilartram replied: "Tho 'cumu
lated weather wisdom of my distinguished
botanical family lu better than the trained
onions of Simeon Mokemucher and the
trained statistics of Prof. Willis U Moore.
To the eldest son of the eldest son of (he
eldest son unto the seventh generation born

of weather eye not granted ordinary mor
tals." The Bui tram system will not be made
public, ha said, because he is sensitive to
ridicule and fears mockery at the hands of
the irreverent modern generation.

TEDDY'S HAT GOES INTO RING
IN HENRY FORD'S HOME CITY
Continued from I'aie One v
perhends, abhorred nnd denouncer) tha mili
tarism of Washington In 1778 and of Lin
coln In 1861. They were ngalnat nil war
and all preparedness for war. In the K6v
olullonnry contest they Insisted (hat AVash
Ington wns tho embodiment of anarchic mil
itarism." Like Mr. Ford, snld Colonel Uoosevelt,
these pacifists proposed to get the "boys"
of Hunker Hill and Valley Forge and the
"boya" of the army of the Potomac out "erf
the trenches" by Christmas. "tf these
pacifists ot the Ilevolutlon and the Civil
War had had their way," the speaker de
clared, "they would have put nn Immediate
stop to much mirroring and much loss of
life. They would have secured the np
platiso of every peace-at-any-prlco man at
homo nnd abroad. And Unwittingly they
would have utterly ruined this nation. They
would have prevented Its being a nation.
"Their successors would turn men away
from military training Into the path of or
dinary civil occupation.
AMl-nitCANISM AND pnKPAHMDNKSS.
Mr. Uoosevelt declared there nre only two
great issues Amerlcnnlsm nnd Prepared
ness. "As a people," he said, "wo bavo to
decldo whether wo arc to be In Rood faith
a people and able and ready to take care
or ourselves ; or whether wo doubt our
national Unity and fear to prepare, and
Intend Instead to trust partly to a merci
ful Provldenco and partly to elocutionary
ability In high place. Those In power at
Washington have taken the latter position.
The follower of Jlr. Ford In tho Itepub
llcan primaries have tnken what Is In
reality the name position. Why should the
people change their government If they are
merely lo change slightly thft degrco of un
!rcpnrcdncss?" Advocating universal service, Mr, Uoose
velt said:
"I believe that the dog-tenl would prove
a most erfectlvo agent for democratizing
and nationalizing our life! qnlto ns much
so an the public scTiool, and far more so
than tho American factory and tha Amer
ican city as they are today."
FOHD Tp M14BT HOOSKVBtvr.
Itoosevelt'n proposed visit to Henry Ford
til the manufacturer's Highland Park plant
was called off, but Ford planned to see the
ex-President nt his hotel at 3 o'clock. Tho
Colonel declared the conference was nr

leader.

There Is less demand for cotton yarns
now than for four months, according to
Dun's weekly trade review. This Is be
lieved to be but temporary, as most manu
facturers appear to bo well supplied with
raw material, the repot t asserts. Prices
urn generally strong, and It Is the Impres
sion that the market will remain high for
somo time.
There has been but little change In the
wool market for some weeks past ; most
dealers at the present time report trade
quiet, prices well-ninlntalned. on till desir
able grades, nnd lowering In prices Is not
looked forward to for somo time to come.
The local mills report that they are well
supplied with orders and working to their
full capacity.
