Leroy F. Sparks, the new assistant ply

coach. he having coached two Of the
best army basketball teams In the East

Mr.. Sparks Is well known in sport
circles as the coach Of the removed
Usaacs, the team from Camp Crane, al
Allentown, pa, which, in the winter
OF i9i7-is defeated nearly everything
which came their way. In i9is-i9 Mr..
Sparks coached the Quariermaster
Corps team at Camp Merritt, which also
went through the season with a won
derful string Of victories.
Dawson F. Dean, physical director OF
the local "Y." is fortunate. in the opin-
ion Of many, in securing such a coach.
Mr.. Dean is desirous OF forming
league with "Y's from the following
towns: Lancaster, Philadelphia. Potts

would make a slx-team league, and
would be the biggest event in local bas-
ketball history in years.
Director Dean has already received
an invitation to Join a volleyball

some OF them into two parts, in order
that they may be accommodated on the

DISTILLERS SECURITIES.
At a Speculative Level.

The stock is in a speculative posi-
ton entirely at this time. and we do
not regard il as an investment at
current levels, even though it may
rally somewhat in the near future.
You are assuming a speculative risk,
in our best judgment. in holding
your shares. and unless you can af-
ford TO continue to take the risk We
suggest the advisability of closing
out your holdings at an early favor
able opportunity.
Distillers has good peace pros
poets, but if you have a good profit
we suggest that you take it. The
stock is selling at somewhat spec
ulative level, and, although it will
possibly sell higher, we expect some
good reactions and you will again
have another opportunity of pur-
chasing, we believe. at a lower and
more attractive level.
We suggest that you protect your
stock with a stop-loss order of say
three points. and follow up any
further advance in the stock with
your stop and therefore be prepared
to iuidate upon any further sub
stantial bulge.

Standard Oil of California Finds
High Gravity Oil i'm Elk Hills.

Thirty-nine degree oil was struck
in the southeastern part of Elk Hills.
Thus far this is the lightest product
in the state. The we'll was cemented
for water-shut-on at 2,4S0 feet and,
when opened. was found TO contain
100 feet of oil. The we'll is not GO

il was drilled on a school lot sur

serve No. I, but il is exceedingly i'm
portant as tending to prove the dis
trict. which has long been in doubt.
After the creation Of the reserve
by the Taft withdrawal order, the
government sought TO obtain posses
sion of 6.1O9 acres in this field be-
longing 10 the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Biologists were called in On
both sides and il was in evidence
that the Southern Pacific Co. had
drilled some dry holes. but the gov

The discovery Of oil cannot help
but impart value TO the large acre

road. The land is involved in TIE

FEDERAL MINING AND SMEIT-
ING PFD.
Has Good Prospects.

The stock has been on a 7e6 di-
Vidends basis since March, 1917, and
there are 9 $40 dividends in ar
rears. At current levels there is a
possibility that a part Of the ar
rears my be paid off The stock is
selling at a low price because earn
ings We're formerly unsatisfactory.
The present buying is based on what
we believe 10 be a well-grounded ex-
pectation Of a substantial gain in
earnings. For the quarter ending
October 81, 1918, the company shows
operating profit of $371,971, COM
pared with S431,61S in the CORES
ponding period Of 1917. No account
is taken OF ore depletion or depre-
citation, Which will be adjusted at the
end of the year. The October pro-
hts was $13O,2s5, against S50,1SS
a year ago.
The company does not furnish
any more monthly regular earnings
statement. We believe il would be
well to hold your stock and not sell
during the present decline in the
market.

ANACONDA.
Has Good Possibilities.

Anaconda is one of the leading
copper-silver stocks, and is a diver
sified investment through the activi-
ties of the company in various
branches of industry. 1t should
benefit by present high prices for
copper and the current price of sill
yer for some time. Even if the
price Of copper should come down,
and the dividend Of SO reduced
somewhat, the shares are apparent
ly selling low enough TO readjust
themselves to such a probability.
Anaconda has averaged about SIG
annually per share for the past
three years, Including earnings OF
owned subsidiaries" and we believe
that it has good speculative posi-
bilities for a long pull
We consider Anaconda, Magma,
Ray Consolidated and Calumet and
Arizona about the cheapest at this
time. and would suggest that you
purchase half your requirements
now and await developments before
spending further money in this way
The copper situation is somewhat
uncertain and a conservative atti-
tude is the best.

BRTTISH-ANIERICAN TOBACCO.
Trend of Earnings.

Trend OF Earnings.
British-American Tobacco was an
alyzed in the June p, 1918 issue
Of the magazine. The company is a
well managed enterprise, and oc-
cupies strong financial position.
Compared with 1890 paid on the
common stock in 1917, the COM
pany earned 1870. Against 5000
paid in 1916, the company earned
a little over 1870. The trend of
earnings has been on the increase
since 1912, and the company has
taken advantage Of its large war
earnings TO strengthen it's working
capital position. The cash in hand
lest year was $S,5OO.O0O. and about
.s13. 100000 owing by creditors. It's
not working capital was $4,000. 600
as compared witt 100000 q
previous and S24.00h.0c0 in 1915.
We do not think that the present
prices for the shares discount its
entire possibilities. although they
have advanced from around 10 IL
in the last seven months.
We believe there is considera BILE
possibility for the shares TO ad-
vance substantially, the dividend is
safe, and we consider British-Ame-
rican Tobacco a desirable invest
ment for a business man.

VACUUM OH.
4 STRONG standard Oil Issue

Vacuum Oil Co. was incorporated
in 1866. was formerly a subsidiary
of Standard Oil of New Jersey, but
separated in 1911. II owns rehneries
pipe lines and plants and by far the
larger portion of its products is eX-
ported. The company has a very
expensive list of foreign Offices for
marketing its products, many of
them by foreign subsidiary compa-
MES, several of which operates re-
dneries and plants for the manu-
facture of lubricating oil. The CAPT.
tai is $15,0OO,0OO, par 500, and the
company has no bones. The COM
pany has an excellent dividend rec
ord as we'll as a record of extras,
and in 1912 gave stockholders the
privilege of subscribing for new
stocks at par 10 the extent of 500
percent of their holdings. That year
the company redeemed its bonds
and paid it's Indebtedness of over
$4,000 600 to the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey. 1t has been paying
dividends at the rate Of 8 percent
the past three years. It's net profits
rose from a little over 100000 in

over 100000 in 1916 and over

now $S,OOO,0OO, compared with
S5,5OO,OOO in 1915, and 100000

The stock is an investment for a

in the last few months. Even Lib

large indeed. AS a Z percent yield

RAY HERCULES
Has Good Long Pull Possibilities

Ray Hercules has declined be-
cause since the new mill was erect
ed the test mas been somewhat dis
appointing. We believe, however,
that the company has been running
some low grade stuff through the
mill for the purpose of testing out
the plant. and certain rumors have
come from the mine TO the effect
that the grade of the ore reserves
is low. But outside information
might be misleading, as the COM
pany is not yet endeavoring TO show
large earnings, but to place its en-
terprise upon a commercial basis.
We believe that ultimately all will
work out to the advantage of stock
holders and we would say that Ray
Hercules has also declined some
what in sympathy with the market
as a whole. and when a better tone
prevails, Ray Hercules should ad-
vance with the others.

the month of December, 1918. The
decrease of 100000 pounds was
due TO the drastic curtailment of OPP

the first week in January. The total
for January represents a curtail-
