There are a number OF the glass
easkets displayed at the Santa

like great jewels bound or mount
ed In precious metals.
One is simply amazed at what
he sees and learns.
And he is not surprised at all
at the sudden and rapid progress
already made in the promotion of
this soon-to-be gigantic. nation
wide, new industry.
Nor Is one surprised to learn
that the stock Of two out of three
or, rather. four out of the six
other companies engaged in this
business, is already above par
and selling at from fifty to one
hundred and fifty per cent prem
ium!
And why sh,uldn't It be7
An of the companies issue their
two OF. these just lately started
are selling at par. -...
One OF the other ones has gone
from ten to fifteen dollars per
share. two others to twenty dol
lars, and the fourth Is twenty
ave dollars per share.
The fact that the Santa Monica
company has passed the exactions
OF the exceedingly stringent blue
sky laws OF California and Ia so
favorably located and that times
generally are SO favorable for It,
assures a ready. disposal OF its
stock and Santa Monica can as
sure itself that II will soon have
in operation an enterprise Of
great communal value and of
to us.
Mr.. DeCamp says that the stock
to be sold will be distributed
pretty well over the territory
controlled by this company, name
ly all OF the states west OF the
Rocky mountains.
Naturally, the best policy for
the company to follow, in selling
it's stock would be the most edu-
catlve one OF wide and general
advertisement at home and
abroad,
And so: it's product being a
new one. strange yet to many; Il
could thus effect two great pur-
poses simultaneously: the sale OF
the stock and the education OF
the people in the merits OF It's
highly meritorious product. To
that end the stock tor sale will

Plants to Be Seized
SITUATION In GERMANY

Berlin, March 29.-(A. P.)-One of
the leaders of the majority socialist
party, asked by the correspondent
tonight as to whether Carl Rudolph
Legien, president of the German
Federation of Trades Unions. had
made n definite peace with the gov
ernment, said:
"Legien is anything but satisfied
with the reconstructed cabinet" The
speaker added that Legien's antip-
athy was not confined to the demo-
Gratis, but that he was out of tune
with the entire solution of the recent
political crisis. Legien, the corre-
spondent was told, was only recon-
ciled to it by his conviction that a
coalition bloc was the only possible
basis of a stable government at the
critical period of the nations affairs.
Rumors were current in Berlin to-
day that the radicals under Ernest
Darmig, with the assistance of the
communists, would attempt to force
another general strike in an effort to
extort still further concessions from
the government. Responsible labor
leaders declare that the proposed
movement would be doomed to fail
ure, as the moderate element among
support it, while the General Fedora
tion of Trades Unions would also
promptly disapprove the movement.
Furthermore, it was stated, the
workingmen were tired of striking
and preferred to gather the high
wages which otherwise would be lost.
