GOSSIP OF
THE STREET
One of tlm lending; flnnncioni of V nil
street nld thnt In hlfl opinion the at
tltude 0? offleinl WntdiliiRton wltli re
aped to the Knllrond Bill nnd nlso the
tnx-rcvlsion mensuro has gone a long
wny townrd unsettling- confidence In the
Mock market Rltiintfon. I'p to '"'
if CMtit time, he ndded, thcro lins bej-n
little more thnn tnlk on the pnrt of the
legislators, notwithstanding the flro
election promises of satisfactory rnll
rood legislation and n dowmVnrd re
vision In tnxutlon. The lntest advices
from Washington now aro that the
railroad measure will not be adopted
before the adjournment of Congress,
which means thnt there will be another
delay of several weeks before, this much
needed legislation has been enacted so
that its benefltn may be realized by the
carriers of the country.
It. Is just such development that are
now cnuslne much of the skepticism on
the part of the public with respect to
the stock mnrkct. and those who hnvo
surplus funds In the main ore employ
ing them In the nnrehnso of hisllaBrn(IC
Investment securities, not caring to
change moneys on the speculative swu
of the situation. The stock market al
ways carries a certain nmount of fcP'V
illative chance, and In view of the IncK
of confidence throughout the country.
Interest hns waned considerably in re
cent months In this respect.
Tax Uovlslon Imperative
There Is considerable discussion re
lative to the proposed action In Wash
ington regarding the reduction in the
Incomo tax rate. Hankers point out
that In the event of failure to mnkc the
tax reduction for excess profits nnd
surtaxes retroactive to January 1 of
this year, there probnbly would result
unfavorable Influences over both the
bond and note mnrkcts. It is under
stood thnt recently there hns been quite
some buying of corporate securities by
Investors of considerable menus becnuse
of their belief thnt the tnx rnte would
be reduced In nccordnncc with the pre
election promises of the Harding Ad
mlnlstrntion. but thus far the idtun
tion has reolved itself into one of
great perplexity.
It U quite obvious thnt the Scnntors
and Representatives in Washington have
not yet telt tue message irm huhh
wlilch was expressed in the overwhelm
ing election last fall or otherwise they
might display an entirely different at
titude on the nll-nbsorbing tax ques
tion. This is the opinion of bankers and
buslness'men who have made a cnrcful
survey of general conditions through
out the country. ,
High taxation has stifled business
Initiative for n long time pn-t nnd the
crv now henrd Is thnt t'"" country had
better get down to a pence-time basis,
and the politicians of the ' tountry
should be brought to the keen realiza
tion that the war Is over.
Still Holding the Hag
Having held the bag for n long time
past, the American copper producers
believe thnt they can now well afford
to assume a firm stand regarding prices.
Thcv know thnt copper metnl eost mor?
thnii the present selling price, and fur
thermore, thev believe that it is worth
much more. While the consumptive de
mand is not large nt the present time,
the actions of certain lnrge consumer
recently have led sellers to conclude
that the consumers of the metnl were be
coming nnxlous about the situation and
...A... n.Ann.itir. ti enter the mnrkct.
Sellers have contended that at present
levels they are not nnxlous to dispose

nut to quote just two.
John Smith, who, with the help of n
friendly pull, had climbed into n snug
little seventy-five-dollnr berth in thnt
fnirvlnnd called lllmlnnd noon nfter his
dlsclinrge from the service, found him
self gently but none the less firmly
kicked out with the cushion of an extrn
week's pny to enfc the lolt. Deciding
that sixty n week might have to do
while the depiesslon lasted, John ended
by accepting forty nnd being mighty
glad to get it.
Mary llrown wns the other victim
In whom wo nro Interested. Mary found
herself unceremoniously shoved off the
thlrty-five-dollor rung of the salary
ladder nnd with difficulty cnught on to
(he one numbered twenty-five. Hut
Mary wns u sunny-RouIed person with
n liking for budgetn. Hhe set aside
littlo sums for this and for thnt and
kept track of them nfter her own
fnshlon.
Ho tt did not tnko on Mnry's pnrt
weeks of trying to mnke twenty-flvo
dollars do the work of thirty-five in
vn In. She moved nt once to n cheaper
neighborhood nnd n chenper room.
Mnry could no more resist mnkfng n
homo of any place where she happened
to bnng her lint than n bird can with
stand Diiltditig n nest In tho spring.
Ho it was n "light housekeeping" room,
of course, and It cost Alary n sum
which her budget instinct toltf her wns
out of all proportion to her Income,
but If one must hnve a home In these
dnj'H of profiteering pirates, why one
must pay the price.
John Hmitn, on the other hand,
enme down by stnges. Being by In
cllnntlon n strnugcr to personnl ac
counts nnd by nnturc an optimist, he
gave up his two rooms nt seventy-five
dollnrs n month for one nt fifty nnd
considered his reorganization on n
smaller enpitnl completed. Of course
John had It to do over ngnln; and
finding himself one Thursday with a
fifty-cent piece to Inst till Snturdny
convinced him of thnt. 80 it happened
that he took the slx-dollnr non -housekeeping
room next to Mnry's boiuc three
weeks nfter she hnd moved In.
Th":' hnd been u busy three weeks
for Mnry. For nfter business hours
she hnd nrrnnged nnd renrrnnged her
few lares nnd penntes. made over her
curtains to fit the windows nnd de
signed nnd enrried out vnrious camou
flages which transformed her own
room Into four with imaginary chalk
marks In lieu of wall".
Mnry nroBo promptly every morning
at 0, prepnred herself n dninty brenk
fnst, n neatly wrapped-ln-the-wnx-pnpi-r
lunrh for the mid-day repast nnd
set her home In order for the day. At
night she hnstencd back cnrrylng bngs

hundred-a-weck chef could Improvo
upon were he given tho snmo materials
to work with. If Mary sometimes
wished thnt she. might experiment with
twice the quantity,, of foodstuffs nnd
perhaps receive, n compliment, verbal
or otlicrwts?, upon her culinary skill
from some one who might Just net
urnlly belong on the opposite side of
the little tnblc well, would only go
to show thnt she was the very human,
normnl sort of girl she looked to be.
As for John Smith, he nte In restau
rants. Twenty per week, John, hnd de
cided to cover meals, but it didn't.
And, nt thnt, he wns Indifferently well
fed. There wns n door between Mnry's
room nnd John's, a typical, between
occupied -rooms, rooming house door,
locked on both sides and all the crev
ices stuffed with denim or something.
Whntever It was, It did not keep 6ut
delicious odors of boiling coffee nnd
broiling chops. To John these nromns
seemed a sort of Intangible nnd in the
end disappointing cocktail, creating an
appetite which restaurant meals could
not satisfy.
Of course., John nnd Mnry met oc
casionally ns they passed In nnd out,
nnd, of course, they took n healthy In
terest In ench other, for they were
young. "I'd like that girl; she's the
sort good pals are made of," John con
fldod to his pipe. He allowed himself
to dream In Dit before his sober Judg
ment made on answer. "On fort? per?
You poor nut I"
Then came a day when it rained,
rained, rained. John came home rather
wet, and after changing decided that he
would not go out again In such n
downpour, even if be starved. So ho
sat down with a magazine, thinking,
perhaps, to substitute "food for
thought for the mora material va
riety. By chance he opened to the adver
tisements. So It happened that the first
thing his eyo lit upon was a triumph
of realism In nrti a steaming, Juicy
steak, over which a white jacketed
chef wns In the act of pouring some
body's sauce. Simultaneously, through
the Invisible chinks in the connecting
door, stole a palute-tlckllng nromn. It
might have cmnnated from tho picture
Itself! John got as far as jerking his
still drliiplne rnincoat from the hook
where he hnd hung It to drv. The wind
blew against the .window with Inert!
violence. As ho hesitated there cam a
short, sharp scream from the otMr
side ot tho uoor. bometning nan goij
wrong Iq there, that was sure. ,.'
John ran from his room and out ;
through the hall. 'With his hand on tha;;-'
knob of tho girl's door he called, ''Aw
thing tho mntter? Can I ho of asr 1
help?" v, Y
"Oh!" camo n distressed voice, ''wri'Jr'H

The rnln hnd ceased with nn abrupt

The air wns soft with tha promise ot

crescent against a background of blue,

Ohe sign of a
etter Gasoline
If you have held to the belief that there can be no discernible
difference between one gasoline and another, you make a careful
note of the results you get with today s Atlantic,
For this gasoline is different. Greater in calorific power. Finer
in balance volatility and stability combined to a degree that
means quicker and surer ignition, sharper and more complete
combustion every possible ounce of the fuel's potential energy
converted into live wheel-turning power.
You'll not only feel the difference in quicker getaway, faster
pickup, and a more vigorous punch behind every piston stroke.
But in the sustained test after days and weeks of steady use
the proof of Atlantic quality becomes unmistakable:
Ignition "knocks" disappear. Carbon accumulations diminish.
There's less popping and sputtering when "warming up." "Misses'
are fewer. Mileage is greater, as the recorder plainly shows.
"There s an Atlantic Pump on the road you are traveling
