BURNING CABIN
 ALARMS PEOPLE
CENTRAL FLIED WITH QUES- TONS CONCERNING BLAZE
 AT END OF CUSHMAN

A small cabin burning outside the city limits at the end of Cushman street about ten o'clock last night was the cause of scores calling cen tral and other places to inquire re- garding the flames. Being no more than wreck and utterly useless the cabin was set afire by it's owner in order to clear the ground on which it was standing. From a distance and owing to the darkness. the fiamtee really seemed larger than they were. A close watch was kept on the burn ing building to see that the fire did not spread to the surrounding grass and brush altho the rain which fol- lowed shortly served as an excellent safeguard against any chance of the fire spreading.

Street Becomes
Cheerful Again,
And Prices Rise

From the extensive short covering
and the comparative fewness of short
sales yesterday, it was apparent that
professional market operators had be-
come more cheerful for the moment
shout the outlook for security values.
With few exceptions, prices surged up
ward, and, despite recessions in the
final hour Of trading, many retained net
gains varying from fraction to three
points.
The market continued to be domi-
mated by internal influences, and those
who would use the day-to-day fiuctua-
tions as crystal ball in which the
economic future is revealed were still
unable to draw any definite conclusions
The tearing down prices, particularly
on Monday and Wednesday, to new low
levels for the present movement at
tracted some outsiders, and further
scale buying was reported by brokerage
houses.
Call money rates, which had been
made easier by the liquidation Of
stocks since the first Of the month,
tightened late in the trading day yes
terday, and, together with the influence
of profit taking, checked the upward
tendency of prices in the last hour
= When call money was bringing as low
es 3 per cent, banks were induced to
put additional funds into acceptances
and commercial paper. And the volume
nt ;lot> 81
purposes was further decreased by the
calling of loans by out-of-town banks
who were dissatisfied with the low re-
turn.
The collapse in exchange rates was
further checked yesterday, and the i'm
provement of the pound, the franc and
the Ira made sentiment better among
those who perceive the meaning of the
depreciation in terms Of shrunken for
eign trade. Moreover there was moth
ing in the news from the camps of
organized labor to justify an attack
on prices.
Devoid of spectacular price move
ments, the market was relatively in
active yesterday. Total sales for the
day were less than 100000 shares, AGO.
600 less than on Thursday. Two hun
dred flfty-three different kinds of Sc
eurities were bought and sold yester-
day, compared with 279 the day before.
The motor stocks were among the
leaders in the rally. General Motors
closed up 7$s; Chandler Motors gained
points; Studebaker and Stutz 81,
The steels were irregular, without vio-
lent fluctuations. Steel common at the
final sale was up 1s.
In the bond movement no sign of an
end of the period of inactivity ap-
peared, but prices held up we'll never
theless.

May Give Notes for Back Dividends

Recent strength in the shares of the
international Mercantile Marine has
given rise to reports that directors Of
the company are planning to pay of
at least a part of the dividend arrear-
age on the preferred stock, which now
amounts to 81 per cent. 1t was ru-
mored yesterday that his may be done
through the issuance of short term
security to be distributed in lieu Of
cash. If this plan should be adopted
1T is suggested tat the notes would
be listed on the Stock Exchange, thus
creating mark. where those desirous
OF converting their holdings into cash
could do so. MercantlleA Marine has
LIQUID assets of approximately $685.
100000 in the treasures of its British
subsidiaries, while the arrearage on
the senior shares totals s29,483,535.
The principal reason, It is stated. why
nothing has been done about wiping
out at least part of this obligation
is the fact that such a heavy cash
payment would be subject to heavy
income taxes.

Mr.. E. O. Davidson: Greenmount is having
Delco-Light and Delco- Direct from the well water
installed He has watched the service of his
neighbor for two years and now feels satisfied
that it is the proper way.
We have been challenged to prove that Delco-
Light is the only Electric Farm Lighting plant
that has the approval of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters Just address a letter to this
board at POI E. Ohio St., Chicago Ill. It will be
a short argument --....-
Someone has remarked that the Delco-Light

of charge have bought DeIco-Light to replace their
present 10 horse power two-cylinder opposed en-
CINE. This will be the first Moving Picture Par
lor in the County to be operated by Delco-Light.
Someone has said peculiar affair resembling
a house is moving about the County lately. It
might be Of interest to those in need Of house
to get full information from N. G. Erb, Of the
Westminster Mill & Body Co.
DR.. ROLAND Diller has decided to not wait
for that which might or hight not be reality
and will furnish his modern home with Delco
Light and Delco-Direct from the well water.
John @. Easter, Clarksvie, has been con-
verified to the idea that to pump good cold water
from his well and let it warm on his attic is not
practical. It took one good hot summer and a
bit Of sickness from stale water to remove his new
present water system and install the Delco-Direct
from the well water system.

Garage Manchester, has had several offers of late
to replace his New Delco-Light Plant but he
evidently thinks Deco-Light serves him we'll since
he refused $4,000 to make the change.
When Mr. r. Ell. Mercer learned that the
DelcO-Direct from the well water system would
have the fire protection that can be had from
city water pressure, he lost time in making his
purchase. Yes, Mr.. Mercer, Delco-Light will put
water on the roof of anything YOU may erect
Mr.. Edward Carlisle New Windsor, after
considering many ways to solve his water problem
has decided in favor of the DelcO-Iight and Delco
Direct from the well way. Mr.. Carlisle you may
rest assured that DelcO-Light and Water will
serve YOU long and well.
When Mr.. John Dasher & Son came to Mary
land, they brought the Delco-Light and Water
idea along with them They had seen it in use no
doubt in some distant part of the country. Their
modern home will be equipped at an early date
A well informed farmer walked into one Of
the local Deco-Light Dealers offices recently and
wanted ten year guarantee on his Storage
Battery He was informed that the battery was
none of the cheap kind of goods that sells on the
guarantee such as is used by the average cheap
catalogue house business concern doing
questionable business 1t was hard to make him
believe this however, until he was told that Delco-
Light came equipped with Exide Batteries made
by the Electric Storage Battery Company of
Philadelphia. Needless to Hsay he no longer
doubted the sincerity Of the dealers argument
that selling on strong guarantee is usually re-
sorted to by questionable product A good pro
duct sells on its merits and on the reputation Of
the maker.
Mrs. Charles Carroll Of Homework Resi-
denee will soon have that modern home equipped
with Deco-Light This is one Of the oldest home

The local DeIco-Light representative is in

cago, ILL.,, that Delcol Light in both the 30 volt and
40 volt systems and embracing every model is the
only independent electric Farm Lighting Plant
that is 50 constructed as to have the approval

In operation in ten days. They express their
troubles with the former plant as lack of service
The John Robinson's ''1O'' Big Shows which
paid our county visit last week had it's entire
train lighted by score of Delco-Light plants
The manager, Mr.. Jerry Muggins, remarked to
the local Dealer here, that they had tried almost
everything that could generate electricity, but
that they found that something only when they
made their purchase of Delco-Light.
Mr. Denton Lester lost but little time in pur-
chasing DelcO-Light when he learned it could
pump water, operate the washer, turn the grind
stone, do the ironing, light his buildings ETC., with
a gallon or two Of coal-Oil per week. Mr. Lester
you will soon have joined in with family Of
$4,000 happy farm users.

than sample copy. Their new store building at

slderation the erection of concrete tank on
