WHY | THINK "THE TOLL
GATE" IS MY BEST PICTURE
By WILLIAM S. HART

Because it focuses attention on one great
situation, builds toward it consistently,
strengthens with every scene and the
cumulative effect is powerful and con-
vincing.
Because it is human, with no Guessing
over Of the cruder characteristics Of
human kind. but in the end develops the
finest thing in a mans heart and soul
self-sacrifiCe
Because it has been produced with the
greatest care and attention to detail.
Because the scenic background is effect
i've and at times highly beautiful.
Because it is a story have long had in
mind and which it took good many
months of deep thought to finally whip
into shape.
Because I like it better than anything
| have done and because my associates
are of the same way Of thinking.

Secretary Hare Declares
STOCK VALUES UNAFFECTED

Jay V. Hare, secretary Of the Phila-
delphis and Reading Railway, today
said that the ruling of the Supreme
Court, ordering the redistribution of
the stocks and bonds of the Reading Co.
and its affiliated companies. would not
affect the business operation of any Of
the companies as individuals.
Mr.. Hare does not believe that the
separation Of the companies will affect
the value or have any noticeable effect
upon stocks.
"Of course. the decision of the United
States Supreme Court is final" Mr..
Hare said. The plan of action of the
company in complying with this ruling
cannot be determined until the lawyers
of the companies and the government
get together and go over the opinion in
detail. They will then decide upon
method of compliance that will be salts

original shareholders Of the Reading
Company, who weathered the three re-

their stock, and are able to reap. the

the segregation ordered by the Supreme

No plan has yet been formulated for
the segregation, but It is certain there
is a big melon cutting awaiting the

How the Law of Correspondence
Tells Who Will Write to You

There is practically infalbe law of the of
commercial names. Amberg discovered this law and
named the Law of Correspondence BY it, the proper

Why the Amberg Plan
is the Simplest Plan

Two simple factors govern distributing records so
they be found instantly First: the volume of matter
created by your special relationships purchasing branches
agencies, ETC. Second the normal volume of records
caused by the general of your customers and pros
pects Aberg factors your special volume then applies

Building character.

The character of the building re-
fleets the soul of the man. The gen.
eral plan reveals the ideal of the
builder. Strong characters can't be
evolved from shallow natures. There
must be the character stuff there to
build on. No matter how rough this
may be there are processes by which
1t may be made smooth. But Won
never can put finish on things nat
urally inferior. The very process re.
veals the lack Of worth on which to
build. It's different with great souls.
These, like great rivers, are not easily
ruffied. The currents of their thought,
like deep waters, refuse to become
choppy with every ripping wind that
passes over them. Gales and freshets
are not without their influence, but
they can never change the nature of
things.
