Stewart speedoineter.

The unparalleled prosperity of auto
mobile concerns is spreading rapidly to
corporations which manufacture Access
cries, and earnings Of which go hand in
hand with those of automobile corpora
tions. 4 reflection of this condition was
to b. seen yesterday in the increase of
the common dividend Of the Stewart
Warner Speedometer from an per cent
to IL per cent. basis. At the same
time its directors proposed TO its stock
holders that the present 100. 900 shares
of stock ut 500 par value be increa sed
to 100000 shares of no par value and to
issue the new shares to its present stock
holders on the basis of four shares to
one. This proposition will be considered
at special meeting of the stockholders
to be held at Richmond Va, on Novem-
Der IA, and 1t Is reported to be certain
that the proposition will so through. In
anticipation of valuable rights, which
will accrue to its stockholders when the
new stock is issued. Stewart Speedome-
ter was yesterday strong on the big
board and sold up to 149. 1t closed the

yers, at which the problem was
threshed out, has been held In Wash

to initiate necessary enabling iegisla-
ton and passed the buck to the Asso-
citation Of Railroad Executives The
railroad men in turn declared that II
was the plain duty OF the Administra-
ton TO take the initial step. The Ad-
ministration refused to do so. on the
grounds that Congress was hostile to
such a move. Republican leaders in
Congress are reported to have assured
railroad men that such legislation can
and will be passed at its current ses-
sion. It is said that the hill Is being

Probably more rumors about Trans
continental OIL are in circulation than
are heard concerning almost any other
new stock on the big board. The stock
displayed yesterday Considerable actlv-
ity and got as high as 81 on the move
closing the day with gain OF 21S
points. One of many stories in ctrcula-
ton is that several times a pool tried
to operate in the stock and was de-
TERED by block of zoe, 900 shares hang
ing over their heads like Damocles
sword. Now 1t is said this block dlnger
has been removed and the pool can oper-
ate in safety. The news OF the arrival

lieving considerable apprehension In the

short COVERING,

Professionals attributed some advances
made yesterday in the market to short
covering. A large block of shorts in
Mexican Petroleum Is known to have
been driven in and covering in such
stocks as Studebaker. White and General
Motors was particularly noticeable. This
View was borne out in the loan crowd
after the markets close when II was re-
ported that several large blocks OF stock,
particularly of Studebaker, had been re-
turned by borrowers. Exclusive of easier
monV, which prevailed yesterday, the
largest factor in the present market Is
the Supreme Courts forthcoming deci-
sion on the stock dividends case, involv-
ing the question of whether or not stock
dividends are taxable.

these statistics was issued IN May OF
this year and covered establishments
engaged in the construction and re-
pair of vessels of all classes. Data for
shipyards operated by the Federal gov
eminent were shown separately.
Another line of inquiry conducted by
the Census Bureau in 1917 was the col
lection of statistics on marriage and
divorce The report of this investi-
cation was published in April, 1918,
and showed the number OF marriages
performed and the number Of divorces
granted during the year 1918 for the

The data also cover statistics for place

The Fourteenth Census.
Much work preparatory To the TAX
ing of the fourteenth census was per-
formed during the year 1919. The ap-
pointment of the 372 supervisors has
been accomplished and, wherever pos
sibIe. quarters for their accommoda-
ton have been secured in Fedefai
buildings through the assistance OF the
Secretary of the Treasury. A joint au-
visory committee appointed by the
American Statistical and American
Economic Associations to assist the
Director and the Department OF com
merce in connection with the work OF
this census held several meetings, rem
dcrirlg valuable assistance.
One of the outstanding features VI
the Fourteenth Census will be an IN :
yestipation to ascertain the amount OF
encumbrances on mortgaged homes,
an inquiry similar to that conducted
at the census of 1890. This refers only
to morteaged homes occupied by their
owners and the number will be deter
mined through answers to inquiries on
the population schedule, but the IN
formation as to the amount OF encum-
brances will subsequently be secured
from the owners of these homes upon
a special schedule, the data to be oe-
tanned by special agents and by ecr-
respondence.

appointed rapidly, and schedules ana

Spurn Profiteers' Money

were urged to spurn money Of
fered by pro6teers, 1.-The mean.
est of thieves" in a statement
issued tonight by the Rev. DIR.
Samuel Zane Batten, secretary of
social service education for the
American Baptist publication So
ciety.
Every Baptist church should
know whether any of its mem
bers are engaged in this nefar-
ious business of profiteering,"
said DR.. Batten. The church
should refuse to touch the Dirt
money of these people. No self
respecting church would tolerate
in its fellowship a person known
to be guilty of highway robbery
or horse stealing and the sin of
profteerng is meaner, blacker
and more sinful than either OF
these. The church must make
the will of God very plain on
this subject"
