 "Dolly. 1 believe you make point of seeing every Griffith picture that comes out What's the secret? Tell mer
 It was an easy question to answer. because it could be answered in very few words:
 Because they are always such clean, wholesome pictures. and besides, David Wark Griffith is the Belasco of the film: the master of his profession; ev- cry detail is worked out so beauti- fully and so artistically that Griffith production has come to be regarded by most people-not by myself alone-as just about the highest type of art in movielandr'
 Following up the conversation. l can corroborate my judgment by telling you that the latest Griffith production, The Girl Who Stayed at Home." Is a worthy successor to the others thar have gone before, for 1t Is brimful Of
 
 In the first place. MT. Griffith has a wonderful sense of values not only when it comes to scenario and photog- raphy, but stars" he is the discoverer, as it were, of Lillian Gish Harry E..

Constance Talmadge, Mae Marsh and dozens of others whose names have been emblazoned upon the screen and whose careers in filmland have been of ,xha al these actors appeared in the first great Griffith picture, "The Birth of Ma tion.' following in Intolerance" Hearts of the World" and other not able productions and now Mir Griffith comes with his new picture, "The Girl Who Stayed at Home,' with another "find"-Clarine Seymour--who is de- scribed as "The girl with the eyes that takes the very heart out of you"
 Be that as it may, this new Griffith star is quite as wonderful in her way as her predecessors and her tiny little form, 1.-the and supple, and her attrac- tive little face, her grace and her tal- ent, all contribute toward her success as star.
 The story of "The Girl Who Stayed at Homer"
 It is very simple; she was just lit- tie cabaret singer whose early train-

The other reasons for believing in
a better market are found in the
quick adjustments being made to a
peace basis in all Industries and in
the improved outlook for crops.
The winter wheat crop for 1919
promises to break even the wonder
full record of 1914 and 1915 and the
worlds interest in farming has been
so aroused that there is little doubt
of records in other, crops if only the
weather be favorable.
Big crops in America will mean
prosperity because now that the
whole world is at peace there will
be an unlimited market for all that
can be raised. There will be an alb
sence of the losses that distin-
guished the last four years.
The war has left one third of the
worlds gold in America 1t has left
this country further advanced in
practically every business enter
prise than it would have been in a
hundred years of peace. This coun-
try got just deep enough in the war
to get all its benefits. but little of
its losses. In addition to that it is
the history of all wars that they are
followed by business improvement.
The stock market is nothing but a
barometer and Thermometer of the
worlds life and as such it must
register higher values simply be-
cause those higher values now ex-
ist.

Railway stocks Speculative.

Many of the underlying bonds are.
Of course, perfectly safe. but all rail-
road stocks have become highly specu-
lative and have become so without
the saving grace of being influenced
by earnings. Nobody knows what anv
good railroad will be able to earn un-
der conditions that are liable to exist
for the next few years.
Thus a vast percentage of the CAPT.
tai involved in the stock market has
been placed in jeopardy and the vital
ity OF all security markets has thus
been sapped
Industrials on their part have been
affected by the end of the war. As
early as July leaders of high finance
who are in close touch with the mill
tary situation knew that peace would
come within few weeks. They bought
stocks freely and had a buoyant mar
ket in progress soon after the Ger
mans were turned back from Paris.
The public was willing to participate
in the market, but. by using the power
OF the Federal Reserve Bank loans
were limited and the buying and SELL
ing of stocks on margin was branded
as an improper. if not ilTegitimate
business, to such an extent that the
public was frightened away from Wall
Street. So rich men still hold the
stocks. That is one OF the great rea-

STOCK MARKET
TO BOOM IN 1913
Securities in 1918 Did Not
Discount Prosperity
That Has Come.
By Thomas c. shotweII.


New York, Jan. lit is easy to find
reasons for expecting a broad. active
security market in 1919 Some of the
best are found in the action Of the
market in the year just closed. In
addition to these there are new fac
tors that can go into operation only
after the industrial situation is re-
adjusted to a peace basis.
The chief reason found in the course
Of the market in 1918 for activity of
the market in 1919 is the fact that in
1918 stocks did not discount the won
derful prosperity that had come to
America as n result of the war. Re
markable methods were adopted by
those in control of the bank loans to
prevent a stOCk-market appraisal of
the value of peace. The result has
been that prices of stocks never did
have the advance that they normally
would have had.
The year 1918 opened with a some
what buOyant movement in railroad
stocks as n result of taking over of
control Shy the government. Several
railroads were Vergins on bankruptcy
and would have been in the hands OF
receivers had conditions remained un-
changed for six months longer
1t is still an open question whether
the government will ever turn the
roads back to the private owners. and
if so, whether the conditions will be
any better than when they were
taken over. This uncertainty leaves
all railroad securities questionable in
vestments.
