Middle States Oil

Following somewhat hectic career
since admission to trading on the
Stock Exchange it was stated in con-
ser alive brokerage quarters yesterday
that there is reason to believe that
Middle States Oil shares will enjoy q
more respectable market" In the
future. Considerable dissatisfaction
has been expressed because of the mar
ket experiences of this company, in
view Of the strong earnings statement
submitted to the governing committee
this week, showing a out $3.50 share
earned in six months. 1t is understood
that the number of stockholders has
recently increased from 2.400 to about
1000, and t,Aat large interest has
been acquired, which according to
brokerage information is traceable to
one of the Standard Oil subsidiaries.
TIL point is emphasized. however, that
there 8 no positive authority for MAX
ing such a statement.

though ranked among the high priced
issues and stock that requires con-
siderable capital to trade in, Mexican
Petroleum has been increasingly popu-
lar with the speculative element of

professional bear attack. The result
has been to build up a fairly large
short interest. Yesterday was day
in which this short interest found the

REGARDING LAW ENFORCE
MENT.

In recent communication to the
Chicago Tribune concerning the mat
ter of the enforcement Of the 18th
Amendment, Ex-President William
Howard Taft said:
GAS a matter Of fact, am not in
favor of amending the Volstead Act
in respect to the amount of permls-
sible alcohol beverages. I am not in
favor of allowing light wines and
beer to be sold under the Eighteenth
Amendment. 1 believe it would de-
feat the purpose of the amendment.
No such distinction as that between
light wines and beer on one hand
and spirituous liquors on the other,
is practical as a police measure. l
did not favor national prohibition
when it was an issue. 1t has been
adopted under constitutional forms
by the people and should be enfore-
ed in good faith. Any such loop-hole
as light wines and beer would make
the amendment a laughing stock"

Or, the woodwork can be stained and

shade, but a neat, light-reflecting
finish. For the living room or library
a lighter shade is desirable. In these

meal paper, without and designs at
all. But it's plainness can be greatly
relieved by panelling it, and using a
neat border at the top. For the bath
room and kitchen there are made
special vanished papers that may be
washed lightly without injury. In the
dining room large, dark design of
flowers or fruit is good with a me-

where plenty of light is desirable,

Atlanta Man Receives Motif.
cation of His Own Death
+, In France.

Atlanta, Aug. 14.-Receiving no.
tifcation of ones own death with a
little card of sympathy for the FAM.
lily and snapshot of the grave and
tombstone is something hardly calcu-
lated to stimulate mans happiness.
Yet, that is just what happened
this week to Howard P. Conway, an
engineer in the employ of Grinnell
and Company.
Back in France during the war
while he was lieutenant in the
army, Mr.. Conway was badly wound
ed and spent several months in the
hospital. The records became "cross-
ed" and some clerks reported him
as dead and buried. So the other day,
the American Red Cross forwarded
to Atlanta members of Mr.. Conway's
family photographs of his French
grave and accompanied it with a
note of coincidence. The pictures
were so plain that Mr.. Conway was
able to read the inscription, "Lieu-
tenant Howard P. Conway" on the
simple tombstone.
81 don't know who started that
report on me-" said the ex-lieuten-
ant, "but Pm glad to be able to deny
it."
Mr.. Conway is we'll known in At
lanta. He is the son of James W..
Conway, who recently was decorated
by Pope Benedict with the Order Of
Saint Gregory.

State Hospital Shelters Many.

The State Hospital has a popula-

tients. The number of employees at
the institution swells this to total
of nearly $500 inhabitants. A cen

the hospital yesterday showed that
there were GAG white females, 52S
white males, 466 negro females and
$40 negro males at the hospital as
patients. Included in this population
are a number of children ranging In
ages from nine to IA years.
Many of these children will be

entered the institution in September
1875. The youngest patient is a
child about nine years of age.

The increase in the cost of living
has been much felt by the hospital.
Two particular items are affecting
the institution most strikingly just

in the price of sugar and the more

within comparatively recent time.
